The Dragon and Tiger Legion is getting closer and closer to the beach, and even Chen Huan, who is in the central army, vaguely hears the sound of sea waves. Chen Huan is getting more and more excited, and can't help but clench his fists. He goes straight to Huanglong for thousands of miles. This battle will surely become the permanent glory of the Dragon and Tiger Legion.

However, the development of the situation made Chen Huan feel more and more strange. First, Wu Tianhai, the captain of the maritime anti-smuggling team, came to report to Di Wei: The simple pier has been built, which is enough for 20,000 troops to board the large troop transport ship overnight.

If this is not very strange, when Feng Lun appeared in front of Di Wei, Chen Huan felt incredible.

After the Eastern and Western Fleets split, Liang Feng was still the admiral of the Western Fleet, while Li Siming worked at the Navy Governor's Office, and Feng Lun took over the position of general manager of the Western Fleet.

Feng Lun originally followed Zhao Hehai to rob outside Malacca. He didn't know whether he was tired of his pirate career or was determined to seek promotion and title, and took the initiative to go to the Western Fleet.

According to the original plan, Liang Feng and Feng Lun should lead the main force of the Western fleet to support the Yangtze River Estuary. How could Feng Lun appear in Jieshi Bay?

Could it be that in order to confuse Zheng Zhilong, the Western Fleet deliberately launched a smokescreen and instead attacked Zheng Zhilong's nest?

Isn’t this a waste of naval power? Most of Zheng Zhilong’s warships headed north, and Zhao Hehai’s plundering fleet was enough to cover the landing of the Dragon and Tiger Legion. Is it necessary for the main force of the entire Jingzhou Group to take action personally?

Things are definitely not as simple as imagined! Chen Huan thought inwardly.

Feng Lun was quite happy. After seeing Di Wei, he saluted simply and said: "Feng Lun, the general manager of the Western Fleet, met Di Shuai. Twenty-five troop transport ships were ready. In order to ensure the safety of the troop transport ships, the main warships of the Western Fleet were all on the periphery of Jieshi Bay to ensure that everything was foolproof!"

Feng Lun's rank of General Xuanwei of Navy is one level lower than Di Wei, who is rank of General Zhongwu. Strictly speaking, he should claim to be subordinate. However, the Marine Corps and the fleet belong to different systems, so Feng Lun's actions are not wrong.

Although Di Wei was the head coach of this operation, he didn't care about Feng Lun's claim at all. After returning a greeting, he praised: "Very good. This expedition to Java has a voyage of more than 8,000 miles, and it takes more than ten days to sail on the sea. This requires a lot of hard work for the navy brothers."

...

“Expedition to Java!”

Chen Huan was stunned for a moment and was right to attack Huanglong, but he was not going to attack Zheng Zhilong's Huanglong, but to attack Dutch's Huanglong!

Chen Huan knew the strength of the Dutch since childhood, and was not much stronger than the Spanish at the time. He was enough to compete with the Western fleet with eight first-class warships, and his chances of winning were quite good!

Want to go to the Dutch's nest to compete with the Dutch? Chen Huan couldn't tell whether he was excited or worried, so he was stunned.

"Chen Huan!" Zhou Qiren's stern shout awakened Chen Huan from his shock.

Chen Huan replied in shock: "Master Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou Qiren's ignorance rose in his fire, his eyes widened, and accused him loudly: "You should answer your promise! In the army, subordinates are not allowed to use other words unless they are asked!"

Chen Huan was ashamed, straightened his chest and shouted: "No!"

Zhou Qiren nodded and ordered: "You will immediately follow General Manager Feng to the Dingyuan ship and serve as the liaison officer of the Dragon and Tiger Legion and the Western Fleet!"

Chen Huan's blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but touch the "Han Soul" short sword on his waist with his arm, and roared again: "No!"

...

More than 20,000 soldiers boarded the ship, which was not a small project. Even if Di Wei was well organized, even if there was a simple trest bridge, it took five hours for four troop carriers to load soldiers and baggage at the same time.

When the fishy belly turned white in the east, the Zhenyuan ship led the way and the Zhiyuan ship followed, and nearly a hundred warships escorted twenty-five troop transport ships and twelve supply ships, plunged into the southwest direction, and disappeared into the vast sea.

Jieshiwan, which had been noisy all night, was completely calmed down, leaving only five centipede ships led by Wu Tianhai. Wu Tianhai ordered the maritime anti-smuggling team to completely remove the simple pier and wipe out the traces on the shore. Then they continued patrol and arrested smugglers everywhere. This patrol lasted for half a month, and no one was allowed to go ashore on the way, trying to minimize the possibility of leaks.

In the vast sea, more than 100 ships formed a special mixed fleet, and their communications and orders were all difficult. Fortunately, there was a feat of Zheng He's voyage to the West two hundred years ago in the Ming Dynasty. The communications and orders of super-large fleets were not unsolvable.

Although Chen Huan served as a liaison officer, he was not busy in essence. This was the first time he followed such a huge fleet to act and was curious and fresh about everything. He found that the formation of the Special Mixed Fleet looked like a "priced". The Zhenyuan ship led seven second-class warships at the forefront, presenting the Yanxing formation and serving as the responsibility of guard posts. The Dingyuan ship and Di Wei's ships were at the core. Jingyuan ships and Laiyuan ships led seven second-class warships to separate from each other to form a guard screen.

The four ships Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Jiyuan and Pingyuan led other second-class warships, located behind the flagship and served as guards.

Moreover, Chen Huan also found that the entire special mixed fleet had four sets of communication and communication systems alone. One set was the flag. During the day, the orders were usually issued through the flag to communicate; the other set was the lights, and at night, the ships were contacted through lanterns; the other was the sound contact information such as gongs and horns. When the fog was filled, the gongs and horns were used to communicate.

The last set is the command ship. Since the beginning of boarding, Chen Huan had never seen a command ship using it. He estimated that this method might be used if other methods fail.

Chen Huan was treated very favorably on the boat, and even Liang Feng was polite and knew everything he asked. At the beginning, this made Chen Huan a little uneasy. He knew that everything he enjoyed came from his sister Chen Tianyao. Later, Chen Huan thought about it. Since God allowed him to have such conditions, instead of avoiding suspicion everywhere and making himself unique, it would be better to accept it calmly, take the opportunity to understand the operation and command of the entire fleet, and learn some knowledge of navigation and naval warfare.

After all, this fleet can be regarded as the essence of the entire Jingzhou Group. Isn’t it a pity to waste this opportunity in vain?

So, in addition to completing his own duties, he eagerly learned about everything he came into contact with every day and night. Liang Feng and other senior officers had something to do, and Chen Huan was embarrassed to disturb him, so he had to find a Westerner to join the army every day. There were not many things to do every day, and he also had to answer Chen Huan's questions.

The two quickly became familiar with each other until one day, Gillis told Chen Huan in unfluential Chinese: "I am an Espanyol. I used to be a member of the Potiro fleet. After being captured, I worked in the mine for six months. Because I learned to speak Chinese, I was summoned to join the army..."
