Around this incident, the entire Gaul port directly launched a thorough investigation. All fools know that those mines cannot be conjured out of thin air, and someone must have placed them there.
However, after a thorough investigation, there was still no result.
Since the start of the war, every coastal port has been patrolled by patrols 24 hours a day. Coupled with the warning of the lighthouse in the sea, the entire line of defense can be said to be extremely tight.
Under such circumstances, if someone drives a boat and carries so many mines to the waters outside the port for deployment, there is basically no situation where they cannot be found, unless they are all blind!
This result obviously did not satisfy the minister who was in charge of thoroughly investigating this matter.
"It's impossible for someone to deploy so many mines in that area? Do you think the Emperor will accept this answer?! Colonel, one month! You only have one month! You must find out a result for me, otherwise, You and I are going to die!!"
The minister's words were not polite.
How huge is the loss of the sinking of three battleships? It is no exaggeration to say that it is an astronomical sum.
Moreover, it is still a time of war, when battleships are most needed! When this kind of thing happens at this time, the situation is even more serious!
Recalling the gloomy and frightening face of their emperor at that time, the minister did not have the slightest doubt. If there is no result from the investigation, the emperor might directly kill them alive!
However, what they don't know is that according to their investigation direction, even if they die, it is impossible to find out a result
Through the field of vision provided by the Elf Druids, the movement of the Gaul fleet is always locked on. With the speed of the Thunder Fleet, it can be said that they will always be one step ahead of them.
In the port area, there is a lighthouse, and they really can't get close, but the underwater combat troops that accompanied the army this time have no problem at all!
In the case of sufficient vision during the day, with a little more effort, the Water Lizard warriors can carry the mines, sneak all the way under the sea surface, and complete the mine deployment.
?Even if you surfaced in the middle of the sea and took a breath, such a small unit, coupled with the distance cover, is unlikely to be noticed by the other party.
In this era, the removal of sea mines and landmines is extremely troublesome and tricky, and it also carries huge risks. It is impossible to do it in a short time, let alone that the entire area is full of There are mines, and the beach next to it is not sure if it is safe
In order to be on the safe side, but also to be able to repair the battleship in time, and even to replenish supplies, the Gaul fleet had to move towards the next port.
During this period, Wang Sheng, who had confirmed the other party's movements, certainly couldn't just let them go.
Over the past few months of the expedition, they have already figured out the map of this sea area.
His eyes quickly swept across the map. On the premise of confirming the direction of movement of the Gaul fleet, according to their current emergency situation, they will definitely move towards the port closest to their position. He can even roughly guess the sailing route. .
So and so, knowing the opponent's destination, relying on the speed advantage of a light warship, Wang Sheng naturally wants to run ahead of the Gaul fleet
Above the sea, a Gallic fleet with low morale was on its way to the next port.
The previous encounters made the soldiers of the Gallic Navy in a bad state, and even the commander-in-chief of the fleet had a cloudy face. He only hoped to find out the result of the previous incident!
As a fleet that has been out for a long time, it is simply unimaginable for him to be attacked by terrorists when returning to the port.
According to this statement, where is the peace for them?
However, just as he was thinking this way, a sudden explosion from the front of the fleet made his whole heart hang in his throat instantly.
"What happened?! What happened?!"
While asking repeated questions, he directly rushed out of his captain's room.
"Report, report to the general, the No. 051 destroyer in front of the fleet seems to have waded into a mine"
The commander-in-chief's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Naval mines? What the hell is a mine? !
At this moment, he only felt that he was going crazy. Where did those damn mines come from? !
The destroyer that waded to the mine turned around almost immediately, but it ended up wading two more mines.
The frail body of the destroyer is no match for a battleship with thick armor, and three mines directly brought them to the end of sinking.
The following destroyers, who could not control the inertia of their forward motion, also followed suit.
On the ship that was about to sink, the crew lowered the lifeboats one after another, or jumped off the ship and escaped.
But when they reached the surface of the sea, they discovered another problem
Don't dare to move! At this moment, the crew members who escaped from the sunken destroyer just fell on the sea surface, not daring to move at all!
Who knows if there are any mines under the surrounding sea?
The mine was blown on the destroyer before, so they still have a chance to escape.
But now, if they trigger another mine, then I'm afraid they can only end up with a dead body in the sea
It has to be said that in this wave, Wang Sheng's small change of tactics once again caught the Gaul fleet by surprise.
Before he placed the mines near the port, it was because he could not figure out the return route of the Gaul fleet, so he was not sure.
But this time is different, the Gaul fleet is almost moving along the coastline, it is too easy to see clearly.
Of course, this successive success did not make Wang Sheng overjoyed.
His lightning strike fleet still maintains its hidden state.
Because he knows very well that the Gaul fleet on the opposite side, even if it stands still, can kill their small fleet during the day.
If your mind is muddled, you don't understand this point, and you rush up with more than a dozen destroyers, you are purely making yourself uncomfortable.
Next, let the commander-in-chief of the Gaul fleet slowly become suspicious.
Anyway, in this wave, their goal has been achieved, and the sea combat power of the Gaul fleet has been clearly reduced!
Just like that, the Lightning Strike Fleet, which was completely silent from the beginning to the end, retreated quietly.
And after receiving the news, the Gaul players who learned that their fleet had been attacked by sea mines one after another, their complexion could be said to be instantly ugly, and they even began to wonder in their hearts, whether there was another rebel organization popping up in their empire If you want to get along with him, after all, similar things have happened many times in the past hundreds of years!
