Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 746 A Benevolent Person Cannot Command an Army
So, on one side is your own and your son's penis, and on the other side is your business partner's basic information. With these two things in front of you, any normal person would know which to choose, right? If you lose your business partner, you can always make a comeback, but if you lose your penis, then you're really done for.

Forget about two or three hours; Sun Ling confessed within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, spilling every single detail.

However, most of these are minor details. The only truly useful things he said were a few sentences: that there must be members of that pirate gang among his men, that he was responsible for laundering their money, and that he was responsible for purchasing supplies from time to time, including rice, flour, tea, and oil. He knew nothing else.

"Nothing else?"

Xia Lin carefully reviewed the confession: "These thieves are really careful; they don't leak any information."

“There must be Han Chinese here who can offer them advice and strategies.”

"Traitor." Xia Lin leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table. "After we catch him, I want to see him executed by slow slicing with my own eyes. Who among you knows how to do that?"

"This humble servant knows a little." At this moment, a skinny old man stepped forward, bowing and scraping as he said, "I learned from my master back then."

"Okay." Xia Lin nodded: "These confessions are valuable, but not much. Go release them, observe them for a while, see when they will make purchases again, and keep a close eye on them then. Disperse."

"Order."

Sitting in the empty room, Xia Lin rubbed his temples. He really felt that this was too troublesome. These thieves were too cunning. After the last battle, they completely disappeared. This kind of battle where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light is really difficult to fight.

While he was investigating these Japanese pirates, they were also investigating him. However, it was clear that it was a joke for a group of bandits to try to find out Xia Lin and his group's whereabouts. But now they urgently needed to buy food.

There are no preservation measures on the island, and the humid climate makes rice and flour prone to mold, so their food reserves can only last for about a month at most.

Now, their island's rice, flour, and cooking oil will only last for three days, but given the current situation, the female bandit leader has repeatedly emphasized that if they cannot be completely safe, they would rather go hungry.

The steps are all well-planned, but even the wisest person can't outwit a fool.

The female bandit leader had settled more than a hundred people here. Then one guy suddenly had a brilliant idea early in the morning. He felt that the weather was calm, the big ships were not moving in the harbor, there was no more panic on the streets, and the island was almost exhausted. He thought that the government must have seen that the situation was working and was preparing to withdraw.

That's why the instructor said that empiricism and dogmatism are deadly. Based on his previous experience in suppressing bandits, this guy thought that this matter was about to pass. He wondered if he could take advantage of the moment when no one else had reacted to quickly arrange food and drink for everyone so that he could show off in front of the leader.

So, just as Sun Ling returned home and lay on the bed, still shaken, this old man came to the door. When he heard the announcement and the code outside, Sun Ling's heart skipped a beat and he sat up. Even he himself never expected that there could be such a fool in the world. Coming to the door at this critical moment was like throwing himself into the tiger's den.
But if he kicks the person out now, he won't be able to protect his little penis, because the Inspectorate has already placed people in their house. He knows who they are but can't say, so he can only let himself be closely monitored.

So, left with no other choice, he got up and went to see the guy who dared to give the code at this moment. When the guy arrived, he followed the usual procedure without saying a word, but this time it was different from the past, and the quantity was particularly large.

Sun Ling was both amused and exasperated when he saw the man's self-righteous act. He knew that the man was probably trying to steal credit from the boss, but now he was taking all the blame instead of the credit.

"Tomorrow morning, send a few men to help me move things. The boss will reward you handsomely once it's done."

The man's beaming expression left Sun Ling both amused and exasperated, but she still readily agreed. Watching the fool leave with a smug look on his face, Sun Ling sat there and smiled helplessly.

He doesn't have to do anything; everything he says to anyone will be relayed to the guards immediately. So, this guy who's taking full responsibility is probably going to be in trouble tomorrow morning.

The next morning, the purchased goods were transported to the dock. However, this time, the people in charge of unloading were mixed in with the police. While the man in charge was counting the goods and making records, he did not see that the water ghosts had already marked the side of his boat. Two other people slipped into the cargo hold with lightning speed, avoiding the sight of others.

A cargo ship that is seven zhang long is indeed quite large, and it was almost afternoon by the time all the goods were loaded onto the ship.

"Tell your boss that the payment will be settled on the 3rd of next month." With that, the man in full responsibility boarded the boat, and then the sails were hoisted, and the boat sailed eastward.

He sat on the boat, swinging his legs and humming a song, fantasizing about being praised by the chief. He had long been disgusted by the sycophancy of those Japanese, and this time it was finally his turn to catch the chief's eye.

The ship was moving very fast. Although people came to patrol the cargo hold from time to time, no one would have guessed that there were people hiding inside.

The ship entered the pirates' port at dawn. Taking advantage of the darkness and the other's carelessness, the two men on board sneaked out of the cabin, slipped into the water on the side facing away from them, and then hid on the island under the cover of darkness.

Just then, a large naval ship came along in that direction. Although there was a difference of more than ten nautical miles, the two sea monsters were now acting as guides.

As agreed beforehand, the two arrived at the mountaintop an hour later. It was the darkest time of day, when people were most exhausted.

Suddenly, several plumes of fire shot into the sky, and two loud bangs jolted everyone on the island awake. The female bandit leader was startled awake and immediately realized something was wrong. Without saying a word, she threw on her clothes, not even having time to button them up, and rushed out with half of her white breast exposed.

Fireworks with added ingredients are also known as flares; they can remain suspended in the sky for quite some time, enough to guide distant warships.

"It's over!"

The female bandit leader's heart skipped a beat, and then she shouted, "Defend! Everyone, come out and defend against the enemy!!!"

Meanwhile, the navy's giant ships and dozens of smaller ships had already surrounded the area from all directions. After arriving at the designated location, signal flares shot into the sky one after another, one, two, three... Soon the sky was filled with dazzling white flares.

At this moment, the female bandit leader was terrified, while Brother Quan, looking up at the star-like flares, couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful..."

"Target sighted!" The lookout had spotted the lights on the deserted island and shouted, "Hard to port, drop anchor!"

"Hard port, drop anchor! Prepare for flank fire!"

"Odd-numbered guns, prepare high-explosive shells! Even-numbered guns, prepare incendiary shells! Load!"

"Gunners are ready to load!"

Xia Lin relayed the order down the chain of command. He arrived at the bow of the ship, looked at the pirate base not far away, and said coldly, "Capture more alive. I want to see them executed by slow slicing."

"The commander-in-chief has ordered that no one be left alive. Release them!"

"Hey..." Xia Lin turned to look at the messenger: "Don't you dare change the orders, you bastard! I think you've eaten too many red beans and are lovesick, huh? Fine, leave no Japanese pirates alive, and take all the Han Chinese inside back to be executed by slow slicing. I want to see slow slicing!"

The sounds of cannons, large and small, rippled across the calm sea, and in an instant, the entire island was transformed into a sea of ​​fire by the combined effects of high explosions and combustion.

What? Not enough accuracy? There are 124 cannons in the fleet, what's the point of accuracy! Just blast them! Naval battles are tough, but sea-to-land warfare is practically a guaranteed win, isn't it?

Let the shell fly for a while.
