In the sky, as the dark clouds dispersed, a bright moon broke through the thick clouds, appearing like a bright light in the dark blue sky. Under the guardianship of the stars, the bright moon became whiter and brighter.
It illuminates the bright and vast sky, and also illuminates the roaring sea.
Between the water and the sky, there are sparkling scales and bursts of light waves.
The flagship of the ocean-going transport fleet was brightly lit like daylight, and the dazzling and colorful lights gave this giant ship of nearly 200,000 tons a festive decoration.
The colored lights outline the clear outline of the giant ship. It is like a shining steel fortress, flying above the sea in songs full of longing.
A grand banquet was being held on the deck. Long tables covered with white velvet cloth formed a rectangle along the huge deck. The tables were filled with delicacies and rare items.
Amidst the songs full of nostalgia, the crew members were feasting, singing and dancing, or looking up at the bright moon. Endless thoughts were rolling and surging in their hearts...
Although the expressions are different, in the songs full of emotions and in this beautiful scene of the bright moon singing, the crew members' minds without exception drift back to the Dark River Company, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away.
The people attending this banquet were mainly former military personnel of Anhe Company who had surrendered, and their families still remained in Anhe Company.
Soon, the banquet gradually transformed from a joyful carnival into a grand scene of homesickness.
At the corner of the ship's side, Cleaver and his adjutant Chance were holding wine glasses, looking at the crowd that was gradually quieting down, with a sly smile on their faces.
"This trick really works." Clifford said with a sneer.
"The music is specially selected, and the dishes are what we often eat at Dark River Company." Chance said proudly.
"Well done, I will promote you when you return to Dark River Company."
Qian Si smiled evilly and gave a standard military salute.
"In a moment, call the captains of each ship to the conference room to discuss returning to Dark River Company." After finishing speaking, Clifford drank the wine in the glass.
"I believe that most captains will agree, but what should I do if some people don't agree?"
A dark light flashed across Clifford's face, and he held the wine glass tightly with his hand. There was a "click!" and the wine glass shattered in his hand.
A stream of bright red blood flowed from his fingertips. He threw away the crumbs, calmly picked up a tablecloth from the table and wrapped it around his hand.
"How to deal with the 12 destroyers and 9 submarines following us? We are just ordinary transport ships, but they are military ships armed to the teeth." Chance asked worriedly.
Clifford looked back, a trace of gloom flashing across his face. Indeed, even though their tonnage was unmatched, these were ordinary transport ships, and their strongest firepower was only squad laser weapons and the ship's defensive artillery.
Not to mention 12 destroyers and 9 submarines, even if they only have one destroyer or submarine, they will become lambs for the opponent's wanton slaughter.
"Our speed doesn't have an advantage, not to mention they are right behind us, how can we get rid of them?" Chance murmured again.
Clifford's eyes retracted from a distance, his eyes full of confidence: "Then give them a surprise."
"Suddenly?"
"Yes, after the fleet arrived on the west coast of Africa, we took advantage of the opportunity of digging the red soil to seize one or two submarines and return to the Dark River Company without anyone noticing!"
"What will happen if other destroyers and submarines catch up?" Chance asked worriedly.

"Then take them all!"
After Clifford finished speaking, his eyes turned to the dark sea behind him, his eyes filled with evil light.
After the carnival, Cleaver gathered the captains and main crew members of each transport ship in a conference room to discuss the issue of seizing control of the rear guard formation by force in order to return to Dark River Company.
These crew members are all military personnel of the former Dark River Company, accounting for 90% of the entire ocean transportation crew.
Due to the sufficient preparations and the previous carnival, the captains and crew members of each ship have returned to the Dark River Company.
Therefore, once his idea was put forward, he won the support of most captains, especially some low-level crew members, who were very supportive of his idea.
This does not mean how loyal they are to Dark River Company, but because all their family members stayed with Dark River Company.
Returning there means reunion.
But there were still some discordant voices filling the meeting room, with three captains and five first officers raising objections.
They believe that the Crisis Program gave them civilian status, and then integrated them all and allowed them to carry out this extraordinary mission, which is enough to prove their full trust in them.
To openly defect now is against morality, and it also shows others that he is a capricious villain. It is really not worth the gain.
What's more, leaving Dark River Company is an act of abandoning darkness and turning to light. Staying in the new territory of mankind can not only give full play to the expertise and value of a military personnel, but also build a new home together with many compatriots and resist the armed invasion of the Tiberians.
The voice of opposition stuck in Clifford's throat like a poisonous thorn. He forced a smile, and then motioned the three captains and five first officers to wait in the next room, and he would answer their questions for a while.
As soon as the eight people walked out of the conference room, Cleaver winked at Chance.
Two minutes later, a rapid burst of gunfire came from the next room. After the thick smoke, three captains and five first officers fell in a pool of blood.
One night three days later, with low dark clouds and roaring winds, a long steel dragon sailed into the Gulf of Guinea on the west coast of Africa on the windy and turbulent sea.
The ocean transport fleet arrived at the predetermined sea area.
According to previous mission arrangements, the ocean-going fleet will continue sailing, entering the Congo River from the Gulf of Guinea, and continue inland along the Congo River, collecting rich red soil resources along the way.
Under the faint starlight, the ocean-going fleet lined up in a long formation, entering the Congo River from the mouth of the Congo River and heading inland...
In order to confuse the Tiberians, a force consisting of 10 large ocean transport ships, 20 ocean tugboats, 8 engineering ships, 2 excavation ships, 2 life support ships, 1 fuel supply ship and 1 hospital ship The shadow fleet separated from the main fleet.
This shadow fleet was all manned by officers and soldiers of the Crisis Plan. After the main fleet entered the Congo River, they did not continue to move inland, but anchored at the mouth of the Congo River.
Ten minutes later, a warning formation composed of 12 destroyers and 9 conventional submarines entered the Congo River. They always maintained a distance of about 30 nautical miles from the ocean-going fleet.
Thirty minutes later, the task force consisting of three aircraft carrier formations and two submarine formations arrived in the Gulf of Guinea. In front of them was the shadow fleet staying at the mouth of the Congo River.
Soon, the two destroyers in the task force adopted radio silence and turned off all navigation lights, secretly approaching the shadow fleet.
In the darkness, 10 missiles were thrown from two destroyers
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The zip line was tightly hooked to an ocean-going transport ship in the Shadow Fleet, and 10 aerial ropeways were built.
10 cable cars successively transported batches of crew members from the shadow fleet to the destroyer.
A silent evacuation took place on the roaring sea.
After nearly an hour of ship-to-ship transportation, all crew members of the shadow fleet were evacuated to the two destroyers.
As a signal bomb pierced the deep night sky, war eagles took off from the three aircraft carriers. They flew over the empty shadow fleet and dropped powerful aerial bombs.
Continuous explosions exploded in the shadow fleet, and fireballs rising into the sky illuminated the dark sea. In less than 15 minutes, 44 ships of various types in the shadow fleet sank in the violent explosions. to the bottom of the sea.
Just five seconds after the attack, in the command hall of the Supreme Military Executive Committee of the Crisis Planning Agency, on the large communication screen in front of the hall, Li Jianfeng connected with the supreme commander of the Tiberian interstellar colonial fleet.
"We have detected that your pursuit fleet attacked some defected ships," the supreme commander said.
"Yes, Mr. Commander, your news is really fast. I am preparing to report the relevant situation to you." Li Jianfeng said calmly.
There was a sad expression on his face.
After adjusting his mood, he continued: "In order to maintain the strategic mutual trust agreement between us, we have no choice but to take the above-mentioned extreme measures. Despite this, the main force of the ocean-going fleet still refuses to surrender. They have entered from the mouth of the Congo River. Inland areas of Africa, trying to land and escape.”
"Please tell me directly what your next plan is." The commander seemed a little impatient.
What he wanted was not the casualties, which had nothing to do with the Tiberians. What he wanted was the final solution.
"The information we have received is that Fleet Commander Clifford is trying to build defenses by relying on the cover of the jungle. While maintaining a stalemate with us, he is waiting for the arrival of Dark River Company's reinforcements."
"Dark River Company has given up on this part of the rebels." The commander said with a slightly warning tone.
"That's the best! Commander, please rest assured that we will do our best to encircle and suppress these rebels and strive to annihilate them all in the shortest possible time! Please give us a few more days."
"How much longer do you need?"
"5 days!"
"How could it take so long to annihilate this rebel army with only light weapons?" The commander's words were filled with displeasure.
"This rebel army has as many as 150,000 people. They are all well-trained military personnel. Moreover, they rely on the cover of the tropical rainforest and have built a large number of defenses. If they engage in trapped animals, it will be difficult for us. Destroy them in a short time!"
The commander on the big screen disappeared, and Li Jianfeng breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this time, Miyazawa and his party walked up to him with a bottle of water. He took the water and drank it in a big gulp.
"How much red soil resources can be collected in 5 days?" Miyazawa and his party asked.
Li Jianfeng drank half of the bottle of water. He slowly put down the bottle and looked at another monitoring screen. The screen showed the red soil distribution area along the Congo River.
He stared at it, with a hint of gloom on his face: "If Clifford will act according to your ideas, we will return home with a full load, maybe..."
"Maybe there will be unexpected gains!" Miyazawa and his party smiled slyly.
Li Jianfeng turned his head and looked at him in shock. After a moment, he seemed to understand something, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
