Chapter 46: Lovely Stockings and Beautiful Legs

  In the late afternoon, accompanied by Xiaoni, they walked onto the street and saw that the guards had already begun their patrol work at Ma Chen Harbor. As Guo Yu walked along this two-mile long street, he saw two groups of patrolling teams. When the guards saw Guo Yu, they stood at attention and saluted with excitement. Guo Yu also returned a standard military salute.

  This is our own army, from the establishment of Huafu Academy, we have been strictly demanding in our teachings, every member of Huafu has strong, benevolent, loyal and brave qualities, treating ordinary people with courtesy and treating enemies with hatred.

  Although they have only received one year of education and training, they are now showing initial results. The current members of Huafu have a very high overall quality, and Guo Yu believes that talent is still the most reassuring to cultivate by oneself, and the future development of Huafu will be unstoppable.

  Two days later, a wireless telegram from Gao Qing made Gu Yu lose his good mood. On the way to China, Gao Qing was attacked by pirates again, although there were no losses, but it also scared Gao Qing. Gao Qing quickly telegraphed Gu Yu to pass on the news and hoped that the local authorities would take it seriously.

  Guo Yu found Lin Haitao and Ma Lian, and the three of them studied the South China Sea pirates together.

  Piracy has existed in the South China Sea for centuries, during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It was an era when pirates were rampant, involving Chinese, Japanese, indigenous peoples of the South China Sea islands, many of whom became pirates, sometimes turning into merchants, sometimes turning into pirates, and the more powerful ones establishing their own countries. In the late 20th century, piracy became even more rampant because during this period, European powers intervened in the East, and the traditional powers and nations of the East lost their status and voice, control, many countries had become colonies, coastal areas were unmanaged, smuggling was rampant, making the ancient industry of piracy more active.

  In the South China Sea region, including the territorial waters and high seas of countries on the Indochinese Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago, as well as parts of the sea areas adjacent to Southeast Asian countries and the South China Sea, it consists of the South China Sea, the Gulf of Thailand, the Sulu Sea, the Java Sea, the Flores Sea, the Sulawesi Sea, the Banda Sea, the Arafura Sea, the Timor Sea, and the Andaman Sea.

  Even in the year 2000, in these Southeast Asian waters, nearly a thousand pirate attacks on passing ships occurred every year. Not to mention the South China Sea in 1915, now the South China Sea is a paradise for pirates, and there are absolutely more pirates than regular troops.

  Ma Lian said that just in the area of over a thousand seas where he was, there were no less than hundreds of pirate families. As for the entire South Ocean, it was just a drop in the ocean, and Guo Yu couldn't imagine how many pirate families there were in the South Ocean.

  What to do with oneself, fighting pirates, and bringing peace to the South China Sea is now just a foolish dream. The largest pirate group is said to have gathered nearly 100,000 people, which can no longer be called a pirate group, but rather a country. They have a tight organization and strong combat power, all of them are fierce and fearless thugs.

  Nowadays, all the merchant ships that can sail in the South China Sea have some connection with pirates. Those who dare to rush and crash have been eaten by pirates. The maritime trade in the South China Sea has completely become a pirate trade. Even when European national ships pass through the South China Sea, they often need their own fleet to escort them. You can imagine the current situation.

  Guo Yu took a puff of his cigar, furrowed his brow in consideration for half a day, and finally exhaled a mouthful of smoke, laughing. He decided to become a pirate himself, which would allow him to train his own navy while expanding his power without drawing attention from other countries. To the outside world, he would be a pirate, but internally, he would still be a naval force. Once his navy grew strong enough, he would implement his plan to plunder and pillage pirate dens. Haha, anyone who dared to fight him would have their pirate lair looted along with them.

  However, there is no suitable boat for Gu Yu now, and he can only rely on Ma Lian's two old wooden sailboats. It's estimated that going up would be a dead end, and Gu Yu doesn't want to send his own people to their deaths. He lets Lin Haitao and Ma Lian practice with the wooden boats first, while he prepares to return to modern times to buy a boat.

  However, Guo Yu still instructed Lin Haitao to strengthen the escort personnel of Gao Qing's fleet, because the escort personnel on Gao Qing's ship were all from the current navy, and they also had to equip them with RPG rocket launchers. Each ship had at least 30 guards and ten rocket launchers. It seems that Guo Yu used RPG rocket launchers as cannons, but it's not bad, the power is no less than that of modern cannons, just a bit closer in distance.

  After Lin Haitao and Ma Lian left, Guo Yu called Qian Wenxing over to ask about the construction of the base. Qian Wenxing reported: "Boss, we are currently building a road leading inside. The base we have chosen is about 60 kilometers away from the port in a straight line, but because we need to cross a mountain and a river, the road needs to be detoured. However, it's not a big problem, we will speed up the construction."

  "The construction of the local site is also proceeding simultaneously, a batch of engineering machinery has been transported in, and some people have started working at the site location. The first step is to remove trees, flatten the land, and then build houses on the site, as well as flatten out the land for future factories." Qian Wenxing reported very detailedly, summarizing the current general situation.

  Guo Yu handed over to Qian Wenxing, and all the agarwood that had been cut down was transported back to the warehouse for storage, which would be useful in the future. He also explained some details of the construction and then let him go.

  After dinner, while bathing with Hu Yunyuan and Xiaoni in the newly built large bathtub, Guo Yu told them that he would be leaving for a while, and if anyone else asked, they should tell them that he had something to do with Wu Dazhu.

  At night, the three of them often slept together under a big quilt. Lately, Guo Yu had been fond of having them wear all sorts of clothes and stockings to play games together, it seemed like they were getting spoiled.

  He had been in 1915 for half a month, back to the modern in his own room in Liberia, called Chuckry and hoped to contact Chuckry's boss, he had big business to discuss with the other party and hoped to have a face-to-face talk.

  At the same time, I also searched for some knowledge about warships online. The warships currently in use, even if they are eliminated, were produced in the 70s and 80s, which is absolutely beyond that era. However, it's just unknown whether they can be bought or not. Moreover, Guo Yu is worried about exposure. Buying a few guns doesn't draw attention, but once you buy and sell large-scale weapons, it's too eye-catching. It seems like I still need to think of a way.

  Call parents at home and ask about the recent situation. Everything is fine at home, and parents are absolutely healthy because Guo Yu often uses merit points to massage them when they have nothing to do.

  Huang Wenjing received a call from Guo Yu and missed him very much, but after knowing that Guo Yu would not be back for several days, she felt disappointed. She told Guo Yu that she would punish him when he returned, and Guo Yu happily agreed. When a woman is coquettish with you, it means she's thinking of you in her heart; shouldn't you feel happy about that?
