Volume 1 Tigers in Southeast Asia Chapter 69: Preparing for a Sneak Attack
Lin Fei's words hit the nail on the head for Diego. Diego's expression changed drastically. He thought to himself that this guy was very vicious. I can't say that we did that. So Diego said loudly: "What do you mean by looting a merchant ship? I don't know. How could our Spanish Royal Navy do such a thing!"
Although Diego denied it flatly, Lin Fei saw the change in Diego's expression completely. Lin Fei instantly understood that they were the ones who looted the merchant ship, killed people, robbed, and gang-raped!
Lin Fei glared and said sternly, "You still don't admit it? Come here, capture a sailor for me, I will interrogate him personally."
Zhang Chuang grabbed a Spanish sailor and pushed him to Lin Fei. Lin Fei grabbed his collar, pulled him close, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and punched the Spanish sailor in the ribs. The Spanish sailor screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Lin Fei asked the Spanish sailors loudly: "Tell me, were you the ones who looted the Chinese merchant ship?"
The Spanish sailor said while resisting Lin Fei's iron fist: "No, no, no."
Lin Fei punched him again and shouted, "Do you want me to smash your ribs one by one?"
The Spanish sailor endured the pain and begged: "Please let me go, it really wasn't us who did it..."
Lin Fei punched the Spanish sailor twice, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed heartbreakingly: "We did it, we did it, let me go."
Lin Fei sneered, stretched out his hand and pushed the Spanish sailor into the group of prisoners. The Spanish sailor fell flat on his face and crawled back to the crowd using his hands and feet. Lin Fei smiled at Diego and said, "What else do you want to say?"
Diego frowned and said, "We didn't rob them. There were pirates on their ship..."
Lin Fei was furious when he heard Diego's sophistry. He raised his fist and hit Diego in the face, knocking Diego to the deck. Lin Fei yelled, "That girl is not even fifteen years old. Could she be a pirate? Even if she is a pirate, can you gang-rape her to death?"
Diego remembered what he had done and could not argue any more. He covered his swollen cheek and remained silent. At this time, Chen Fu, who was acting as an interpreter, had already told everyone that these Spanish sailors were the murderers of the Chinese. Everyone was outraged and picked up machetes to chop these Spanish sailors into meat paste.
Lin Fei waved his hand at his subordinates and said loudly: "Everyone wait!"
Everyone put away their machetes and looked at Lin Fei quietly. Lin Fei took two steps to approach Diego, grabbed his collar, lifted him up from the ground, stared into his eyes, and said, "If you don't tell me what I want to know, I will kill all your men!"
Diego snorted coldly and said "dream on", then turned his head away and didn't look at Lin Fei. Lin Fei sneered, let go of Diego, grabbed a Spanish sailor, pointed at him and said: "Captain Diego, if you don't cooperate honestly, I will kill you."
Lin Fei took out his revolver and the Spanish sailor screamed in fear and collapsed to the ground. Lin Fei stared at Diego and asked, "Will you tell me or not?"
Diego remained unmoved. Lin Fei suddenly reached out and grabbed the Spanish sailor's trousers, pulling them down hard, revealing two black-haired legs and the thing between the legs. Due to the fright, the thing between the legs had shrunk into a ball.
Lin Fei pointed the gun directly at the mass between his legs and sneered, "You are using it to bully Chinese girls, right?"
The Spanish sailor hurriedly covered the mass with his hands and begged for mercy. Lin Fei snorted coldly, moved his finger and pulled the trigger. With a "bang", a bullet hit the mass and smashed it into pieces of meat. The Spanish sailor let out a shrill cry and rolled on the deck.
Diego did not expect that Lin Fei would actually shoot his subordinate in the dick. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale. Lin Fei moved the muzzle of his gun upwards, aimed at the Spanish sailor's head and fired. The Spanish sailor's head was instantly smashed and he lay motionless on the deck. Lin Fei pointed to the sea and said, "Throw it into the sea to feed the turtles!"
Two soldiers came forward, lifted up the dead body of the Spanish sailor and threw it into the sea. The Spanish sailors present were so frightened that they were silent and dared not to breathe, while Lin Fei's subordinates felt that they had let out a sigh of relief!
Lin Fei picked up the gun with smoke coming out of the muzzle and walked close to Diego. Diego involuntarily crawled back a few steps. Lin Fei didn't waste any words and pointed the gun at Diego's dick. Diego hurriedly said, "What do you want to know?"
Lin Fei asked: "How many warships did you bring this time?"
Although Lin Fei was familiar with history, he also knew that his time travel would inevitably have a certain impact on history. Although this impact would not prevent Spain from sending troops to attack Hele Island, it might cause the Spaniards to change the number of troops they sent. If the Spanish Navy did not send out its main force this time, his plan would fail, so he asked Diego this question.
Diego said in a trembling voice: "One protected cruiser, two unprotected cruisers, and five gunboats."
When Lin Fei heard that the Spanish Navy had so many warships, he was delighted and asked, " Don't you have three unprotected cruisers in total? What about the other one?"
Diego replied, "Our plantations on Ibayat, Batan, and Babuyan were plundered by a group of mysterious men. They also took our cruiser, the Cuba. The protected cruiser went to find them."
Lin Fei laughed when he heard this, pointed at the ship behind him and said with a smile: "Look at our warship, does it look familiar?"
Diego looked around intently and suddenly screamed, "Oh my God, this is the Cuban protected cruiser. So you are the mysterious people!"
Lin Fei smiled and then asked: "What is the strategic purpose of your fleet this time?"
Diego replied: "Cover our army and attack the Moros on the island."
Lin Fei asked: "How was the strategy formulated?"
Diego said: "The main force of our army landed at Tipu de Ponte. In order to prevent the Moro warships from attacking our transport ships, our protected cruiser and a gunboat stayed at Tipu de Ponte. The remaining four gunboats and two unprotected cruisers were divided into two groups, one heading east and the other heading west to search for Moro warships."
Lin Fei said: "What about the warship in your group?"
Diego said: "The Moro warships are all made of wood and powered by oars, which is no match for our gunboats. That's why our formation is spread out widely, otherwise we wouldn't have been attacked by you."
Lin Fei sneered and said, "So that's the case. When will you go back and join the other warships?"
Diego said: "We will return to Tipu de Ponte every three days. Today is December 21st, and tomorrow is the day we return. We will hold a short meeting there to summarize various situations and then formulate the next action plan."
Lin Fei heard the name Tipdepont Port again and a doubt flashed through his mind. He had never heard of this port before. He wondered what it looked like.
So Lin Fei said: "Tell me about the hydrological conditions and defenses of Tipdepont Port. Why have I never heard of this port?"
Diego said: "The area near Tipu de Ponte is very desolate, so you may not know it. Usually, not many ships go there. We chose to land there because the water near the shore is relatively deep, which is convenient for large transport ships to enter and exit. There is also a relatively narrow waterway in that place. We call it the 'Villan Vidova Waterway'. The width of the waterway is only about 1,000 meters. Such a waterway is convenient for defending against Moro warships."
Lin Fei thought for a moment and said, "Then do you have any defensive fortifications in Tipdepont Harbor?"
Diego shook his head and said , "No, we just went to Tip de Ponte recently. We originally landed somewhere else, so we haven't had time to build fortifications yet."
Lin Fei nodded and said, "You performed well. I will spare your life and your penis first."
Diego let out a long sigh. Lin Fei turned around and called Zhang Chuang over, saying, "Detain Diego and these Spanish sailors."
Zhang Chuang was shocked and said, "Captain, aren't we going to kill them? Wouldn't it be too easy for them to let them go like this?"
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Now is not the time to kill them. Don't say anything more. Take them away quickly."
Zhang Chuang nodded, said no more, and took a few soldiers to escort Diego and the Spanish sailors into the cabin. Lin Fei returned to the command room, silently thinking about what Diego had just said. Liu Daming asked, "Old Lin, do you want to attack the port called Tipu de Ponte?"
Lin Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "Warships anchored in the port are the easiest to be sunk. I really want to launch a surprise attack, but I think it is too risky. After all, we are not familiar with that port. How about this, tonight, while it is dark, we will go to Tip de Pon Harbor for reconnaissance, especially the section of the 'Villan Vedova' waterway. If conditions permit, we will launch a surprise attack tomorrow night."
Liu Daming was stunned and said, "Reconnaissance in the dark? This is a bit risky! We don't know the hydrological conditions near the waterway, and it's dark, so the visual conditions are not good. If a reef accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Let's take the navigator of the Columbus with us. He must be familiar with the hydrological conditions near the waterway and can take us to conduct reconnaissance near the waterway."
Liu Daming laughed and said, "Didn't you kill a Spanish sailor today? Can you guarantee that guy wasn't the navigator?"
Lin Fei said cheerfully: "Of course I can guarantee that. The guy I killed had calluses all over his hands. He looked like a sailor who did rough work."
