Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

Zhang Da also asked: "Do you know the strength of the Big Mom Pirates?"

Big Bear said: "According to the Navy's assessment of the Big Mom Pirates, including some of her forces, there are approximately 40,000 to 50,000 troops.

There may be some hidden forces, but they must be much inferior to the navy in terms of quantity. "

Ginny added: "The information I collected is similar, but recently because some people are unwilling to respond to the call for war, Big Mom has purged many people. The number should decrease, right?"

"No, BIG·MOM's ability is very special. Even if all its forces are wiped out, the number of troops will not necessarily decrease. There may be a temporary increase before the war."

Daxiong said, "Of course, a person's ability should have its limits, so her military strength will not be particularly exaggerated."

Zhang Da also nodded, saying that it was possible for Big Mom to explode the troops, but she could not explode the troops unlimitedly. : "Hey, by the way, since the navy has already set off today, why did Hawkeye just leave? Can he catch up?"

Daxiong shook his head: "I don't know about this either. The navy only requires us to rush to the battlefield during the official decisive battle. There is no requirement that we must act together with them."

Zhang Da was also a little disappointed. It seemed that Big Bear didn't know if Hawkeye had any special traveling skills.

At this time, Rui Mengmeng ran over and handed Zhang Daye a newspaper: "Boss, Uncle Long said he wanted to show you this."

"What?" Zhang Da also took the newspaper and asked in surprise, "Kaido and Red Hair are fighting?"

The news didn't say the reason, it just said that the two pirate groups were at war. However, the red-haired pirates only had one big ship, while Kaido dispatched ten pirate ships. The situation seemed unfavorable to the red-haired pirates.

Ginny put her hands on the table and stood up: "Huh? Why at this time?"

Zhang Da also remembered that there seemed to be similar things happening in the war on the top of the mountain, and he could only say, "Maybe the red-haired man has never been a fighter, so he had to resolve the fight?"

The same goes for Teacher Kai. Why do you want to get involved in everything? Does he like fighting with the navy that much?

…

Zhang Da also thought that the war had not yet begun. In fact, the struggle between the two sides had already begun from the day the navy decided to start the war.

It goes without saying that each of them must gather their forces to prepare for war. The most intense battlefield is the intelligence war.

Needless to say, the Navy's intelligence system is also good at intelligence. The Big Mom Pirates are also good at intelligence, and they can even pinpoint Zhang Tatsuya's weaknesses.

It's just that the intelligence analysis may have been a bit poor. They didn't accurately calculate Zhang Daye's character and work style, otherwise the situation would not have reached the level it is today.

Of course, just one thing is not enough to deny the intelligence capabilities of the Big Mom Pirates. At least every move of the dozen or so reconnaissance ships sent by the navy is under their noses.

As the eldest son, after Perospero received information about the scout ships, his first reaction was to sink them.

But Katakuri had different opinions. He thought that it would be enough to sink ten ships as a show, leaving three or five ships for them to continue reconnaissance.

You can even give them some information for free, and send a few more ships to wander within their field of vision when you have time, pretending to mobilize troops for defense.

"As expected of Brother Katakuri!" Charlotte Nusteldi, the Minister of Transport, said, "Leave this matter to me. I will mobilize a few transport ships and cooperate with some egg tart ships. You can definitely fool them.”

Katakuri was not surprised, because he had already foreseen that Nusteldi would step forward to take over this task:

"This is just a smoke bomb randomly placed. Don't expect it to be able to hide it from the navy, so the priority is below other transportation tasks. Don't make a mistake."

"Yes, Brother Katakuri."

"Then let's do it, Perospero~" Perospero rolled his long tongue, "Bascardi and Dos Marche will also go to help, and be careful to guard against naval sneak attacks."

"Yes, Brother Pero."

Nusteldi, Bascardi and Dos Marche are triplets. Compared with other brothers and sisters, the three brothers are closer and cooperate better.

Big Mom has many children, but only a dozen can participate in discussions on such important matters.

Among them are the Four Dessert Generals, as well as Mondor and Bree, whose bounties have soared recently.

There are many other people who are too young and immature to participate, so it would be better not to come at all.

There are also many who like fighting more than meetings. Anyway, they just need to obey the orders of their brothers and sisters and hit whomever they tell them to.

Katakuri asked: "Sister Compert, how is the intelligence from the Navy?"

Fruit Minister Charlotte Compert, the eldest daughter of the Charlotte family, is one year older than Katakuri and is very similar to her mother in stature:

"Relying on phone bugs alone can only reveal the navy's strength in general, but not detailed combat plans."

"That's of course. Even we can get white phone bugs. There's no reason why the Navy shouldn't equip them when conveying important information."

Smoothie said, "Maybe the most important part won't be conveyed by a phone bug at all."

"That's true. Then for reconnaissance, we have to rely on Homitz who can fly, Peleli~" Perospero looked at a pair of half-mermaid sisters, "Plaline and Prim should also try. Scouting from under the sea.”

"Leave the underwater matters to us."

Praline is a hammerhead shark and half mermaid, and Prim is an octopus and half mermaid. Although they are twins, they are not similar at all. This is in line with the genetic rules of the mermaid family.

The two of them are not fighting alone. There are still some fishmen in the Big Mom Pirates. After all, they are all nations.

Katakuri warned: "Pay attention to safety and don't attack at will."

"Yes, Brother Katakuri." Both sisters were warmed by Katakuri's concern and happily went to arrange the scouts.

…

"Reporting to the marshal, ten of our reconnaissance ships have been sunk. Here is the information sent back by the remaining reconnaissance ships."

Warring States took the information and browsed it quickly before handing it to Lieutenant General He: "The transport ship traffic records are a mess, and the battleships are also completely disorganized."

Lieutenant General He also saw the problem: "I'm afraid they deliberately left the remaining few reconnaissance ships behind, and then drove various ships back and forth to distract us."

"I think so too." Warring States said to the messenger, "Order the reconnaissance ships to conduct reconnaissance as usual. If they encounter enemy ships, they are allowed to retreat as soon as possible."

"yes!"

General He Zhong closed the document and started reading it again. He kept sketching on it with a pen and handed it to Warring States after a few minutes:

“This information about terrain and sea conditions is quite useful, and the models of transport ships and warships can also be used as a reference to estimate the opponent’s firepower.

The numbers on the battleships don't look like they were newly written. The highest number in this photo is 49. It can be determined that they have at least 50 battleships. Just pretend that you haven't seen the other information. "

"It helped a lot." Warring States was very lucky to have He on his side to assist, otherwise he would not be able to understand the information that was delivered to his desk every day.
