What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 114 The first drop of blood
Nearly ten ships of various sizes were floating on the cloudless sea.

Most of them were small boats weighing less than one or two hundred tons, and only two were over five hundred tons.

On the Goose Fishing Boat a few miles across from them, Chen Yonggui squinted his eyes and chewed betel nut slowly.

He looked down at the latitude and longitude on the satellite navigation, then confirmed his position on the nautical chart and began to curse:
"Isn't this our sea area? Why are there so many monkeys?"

He is now located between Luzon and Formosa, near the Balintang Strait. There are islands on three sides, and the only direction he is coming from is the ocean.

The three boats arrived yesterday afternoon and carried out an operation at night. As a result, they encountered a Luzon fishing boat that was fishing beyond the boundary shortly after dawn.

When the 100-ton boat saw the three huge monsters, it quickly ran away.

From its perspective, these three ships are highly suspected to be warships, but from their paint and numbers they are confirmed to be fishing boats.

There were three thousand-ton ships blocking the way, so the small fishing boat hurried back to get help.

Yes, the party that fished beyond the boundary called for help.

Because the South China Sea is so vast, domestic maritime power is weak, and the sea boundaries are closer to large islands such as Luzon and Medan, there are almost no fishermen in these places who do not fish across the border, and some even regard it as their own waters.

Three large fishing boats approaching at once was seen by them as a naked provocation!

After hearing the report from the fishing boat, two large Luzon patrol boats also hurried over, bringing with them a large number of other fishing boats with bared teeth.

When they found that the three fishing boats still had not left, they immediately shouted loudly on the radio and slowly approached, trying to use their numerical advantage to force back the fishing boat fleet from Echeng.

Chen Yonggui and Huang Dongshun both cursed rudely on the radio, but they took the initiative to steer the boat and change direction, making the Luzon fishing boat on the opposite side think that they were admitting defeat, and their attitude became even more arrogant.

The Luzon fishing boats that followed the patrol ship in a show of force became increasingly powerful and immediately rushed over at a faster speed, trying to drive these "uninvited guests" out of their "own waters."

At this moment, they discovered that the largest of the three fishing boats had stayed in place and did not move back, so they immediately shifted their target and approached it.

Facing the only remaining large ship, they were not frightened by the size difference at all. Some even stood on the bow and turned around and shouted:
“%@…&啾#瓜啦*!”

Halsey scratched his ears, silently waiting for the approaching fishing boats to gradually form a straight line, then issued an order with full energy:
"Target - Enemy Ship 1, Course 245, Forward Three!"

"Raise the Z flag and start engine boost!"

The crew members in the simulation mode on the battleship immediately took action and transmitted the orders to each cabin through the voice telephone on the bridge. Alarms immediately sounded in the cabins of the entire ship.

After stacking the SM speed flag and the Captain's speed bonus, the Civilization's base maximum speed is 43.3 knots, but as a destroyer, it also has the ability to temporarily increase engine power through boiler boost, which can increase speed by 8% for a short period of time, lasting about 30 minutes.

After three consecutive gains, the fastest speed of the Civilization has reached 46.7 knots, equivalent to 84 kilometers per hour.

The fishing boat closest to the Civilization was only seventy or eighty tons. When it could almost see the bridge of the big ship with the naked eye, it saw thick billowing smoke suddenly billowing out of the chimney.

The stationary Civilization reached a speed of over 10 knots in just 40 seconds, zooming rapidly in front of the eyes in almost the blink of an eye.

Before it could react, a massive black shadow loomed in front of it. The Civilization's unrealistic acceleration caught everyone off guard, and the fishing boat only managed to steer just before impact, but it still crashed hard under the bow on the left side.

The triangular bow of the ship threw the fishing boat aside like a shovel. Even if it was just a scratch, the kinetic energy of two thousand tons of steel at a speed of more than 80 kilometers could not be so simple.
A high-speed train weighs only a few hundred tons, and the impact of a large ship is much more powerful than that of a train.

The small fishing boat weighing seventy or eighty tons almost turned in a circle on the spot, and the entire front hull was twisted beyond recognition. In the blink of an eye, it became a pile of floating scrap metal.

All the crew members inside were bumping around in the cabin because they were not fixed in it, so fractures were inevitable, and some unlucky ones might even fall out.

But this was just the beginning. The remaining three fishing boats began to slow down and turn the rudders in panic, but it was of no use at all.

The Civilization easily caught up with them one by one in just over ten minutes, and then flexibly turned the rudder to overturn them one by one. Even with only a side ramming, one of the ships was almost turned over and capsized on the spot.

In the distance, two patrol boats that originally thought they had accomplished their mission were ready to leave. After all, Luzon did not have any proper navy, and a few patrol boats were considered the backbone among the warships, and the cost of operating them was not cheap.

In the blink of an eye, the Civilization rammed four fishing boats in a row, and then rushed towards them with unstoppable force.

The speed of forty-seven knots was simply insane. It was totally unreasonable for a two thousand ton ship to have such a speed, and the crew members on the patrol ship almost popped their eyes out.

The four collisions only caused the Civilization to lose 1/6 of its health, and Halsey had no intention of letting the remaining two big guys go.

Faced with a mad sea dog rushing towards them at more than 40 knots, the two patrol ships had no intention of resisting. They immediately shouted frantically on the radio and turned the rudder to try to avoid it.

However, this was of no avail. No matter how they dodged, the speed of more than 20 knots was as slow as a snail and had no effect. The Civilization easily aimed its bow straight at the bow of the first patrol ship like a hot knife cutting tofu.

By this time, the patrol boat had a clear visual range of the Civilization, and was frantically calling out to its companions on the radio:

"It's a ram. This ship has a ram. It's a disguised warship!"

That’s right, the bow of the Civilization is not a traditional clipper bow, but it bends inward at an obtuse angle at the draft position and then extends outward. It can only be seen when it is traveling at high speed and cutting through the waves.

All the mass of dismantled weapons was used to strengthen the hull, increasing the impact capability to the extreme.

But for the monkeys on the patrol boat, it was simply despair.

Ramming tactics were very primitive and were quickly eliminated after the advent of steam technology and the ironclad era, because ramming had very strict requirements on speed and distance, and such close-range combat was no longer possible under modern fire control.

However, for low-intensity friction, impact becomes very effective.

The moment they saw the collision, everyone knew the outcome and just desperately grabbed onto things around them, hoping not to be thrown into the sea.

Just a few seconds later, the bow of the Civilization kissed the patrol ship with the sound of metal breaking.

The structure of the patrol ship was no different from that of a civilian ship. Its originally sharp traditional structure was easily deformed like origami, and a large hole several meters long appeared in an instant. The entire bow was almost completely destroyed, and seawater rushed in frantically from below.

【The enemy ship is sinking! 】

　Chapter 111 is wrong, it should be 1.19 million yuan, I missed a decimal point, haha
