Chapter 1492 Another ghost ship?

Li Chengxi felt that it would not be difficult for Viola to pass through this border fortress. In the long run, it would not be a big deal to take over the three provinces she mentioned.

After all, the Subia Demon Kingdom was now being attacked from both sides, and the soldiers' fear of Avarus had almost reached its peak. Once the battle started, they would lose all their morale and only care about running away. It would be a miracle if they could win.

Moreover, it was said that the Avarus navy, which had been idle in the port, had begun to gather and move towards the coast of the Subia Demon Kingdom.

Even if Li Chengxi did not take action, it should not be difficult for Viola to attack the fortress.

In line with the idea of ​​trying to intervene as little as possible unless it was necessary, Li Chengxi simply watched Viola and would not make any major moves.

As for Yang Yiyi, there should be no problems in the next few months, unless there was an emergency.

Although the scale of the war on Alyssa's side is huge, the Swan can't fight every day. It is currently advancing steadily towards the capital of the Red Maple Republic. When needed, Li Chengxi can go there to help.

In other words, it's time to hang up again, and Li Chengxi basically just watches.

Just when he was thinking of finding a TV series to kill time, his phone rang.

Picked it up and saw that it was a WeChat message from Gan Xiaoyan, asking if Li Chengxi was at home.

It feels like something is coming to the door again.

Li Chengxi's premonition is very accurate. He just replied "I'm at home", Gan Xiaoyan said "I'll come to you right away", and then less than a quarter of an hour later, the doorbell rang.

It must be something that happened when he came so urgently.

Opening the door, Li Chengxi saw that in addition to Gan Xiaoyan, there were two black SUVs parked at the door.

Moreover, Lei Lei was there too.

This made Li Chengxi a little confused.

Although Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan have a good relationship, Lei Lei always reminds Li Chengxi not to agree to everything from Section 9, as they are likely to push their luck.

It is not new for the two of them to work together, but it is rare for Section 9 to have the same mission.

"The superiors have assigned an urgent mission... Brother Li, are you free recently?"

There must be free time, and Li Chengxi saw this and asked the two to come in first.

After giving them juice, Li Chengxi asked:

"What's the matter?"

"It's not complicated. Simply put, a ghost ship was found in the waters of our country."

Another ghost ship again?

"The more troublesome thing is that we know nothing about this ghost ship."

"I remember that all ships should be registered, right?"

"Well, the coast guard has checked it, and it is not in the registration record. It is a ghost ship that floated over from another country."

"Did anyone go up there?"

"No, to be precise, no one was able to go up there. When the coast guard found it, they tried to shout, but no one responded. Then the coast guard decided to send a speedboat to take a look. As a result, as soon as the speedboat was put down, a thick fog rose in the surrounding sea area, and the ghost ship disappeared with the thick fog."

This sounds very ghostly.

"Since then, many ships have encountered ghost ships. This news was eventually reported to the Ninth Department, and the General Administration decided to send someone to take a look."

"It sounds like it's not a big deal."

Although it is a ghost ship that will suddenly disappear, there is no harm for the time being, and it may disappear just because no professional personnel can figure out the reason. The Ninth Department should be able to figure it out if someone goes to take a look.

"The trouble is that the same ship appears in different places around the world."

"What does this mean?"

Gan Xiaoyan took out a photo from her bosom. There was a cruise ship that looked like the coal-burning one from the last century, but the photo was in color and taken this month.

"This photo was taken by a Danish colleague in their waters. Brother Li, look at the detailed time of this photo. If you take into account the time difference, it is exactly the same as the time when the ghost ship appeared in our waters. After we communicated and confirmed, even the time of disappearance is the same."

"You mean, the same ship appears in different places around the world at the same time?"

"Yes."

This is a bit interesting.

"Based on the current intelligence, we have delineated the approximate range of the location where the ghost ship appears. It seems to have a pattern. We know nothing about it now, and it is difficult to guarantee whether it will cause a shipwreck in the future."

This is indeed something that the Ninth Department needs to consider. If this ghost ship only appears or disappears, it is fine. If it appears and disappears globally, the impact range is too large, and it must be figured out.

"How about blowing it up directly? It looks like just an old cruise ship."

"The navy tried, but failed. Physical weapons will go straight through it."

Li Chengxi roughly understood what Gan Xiaoyan wanted to do on this trip. He pondered and said:

"What do you need me to do?"

"I want to ask Brother Li to help hold the line. It's hard to say what will happen in this completely unknown situation. I think with you, Brother Li, at least safety is guaranteed."

The most capable person Gan Xiaoyan has ever seen is Li Chengxi. The General Administration ordered someone to go over and take a look. Gan Xiaoyan's first reaction was to find Li Chengxi as an external aid to hold the line.

"I don't care. I haven't had anything to do recently."

It's true that there was nothing to do, but Li Chengxi turned his head and looked at Lei Lei who had been silent.

"Are you going too?"

Lei Lei shrugged:

"Didn't the Ninth Department help us deal with the Lingbao Tiangong before? I received a letter from my hometown asking me to help the Ninth Department, so I came."

It's a matter of human relations. If you give me a hand and I help you, the matter will be done.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but I have to ask for payment in advance this time."

"What do you want, Brother Li?"

"Get me some weapons and equipment."

Gan Xiaoyan said hesitantly:

"Brother Li, we in the Ninth Division can't make decisions on arms."

"It's not arms, it's just some cold weapons. Long swords and shields are okay, right?"

Li Chengxi originally wanted the Ninth Division to help get a few cannons. It's international aid, so let's find out.

But Qian Sen refused to give in, so the Ninth Division really couldn't make the decision on this matter.

But when I heard it was a long sword and shield, it was not impossible.

With the processing capacity of modern industry, it is easy to make this kind of cold weapon. Get some steel and stamp it into shape at one time. As long as there is a mold, you can have as many as you want.

The most important thing is that this thing does not violate taboos. After all, our country has extremely strict management of firearms, which is different from the nationwide gun war in America.

So when Gan Xiaoyan heard this, she called Qian Sen to report, and immediately nodded and agreed:

"No problem, Brother Li, do you have the drawings? If you do, we will help find someone to make the mold."

"The drawings will be discussed when you get back."

Li Chengxi didn't know the specific drawings, so he would have to ask Viola later.

Li Chengxi wanted these long swords and shields because he saw that many soldiers in Viola's army used old weapons. Viola was not short of supplies now, but weapons and equipment could only be made by blacksmiths hammering one by one, and the supply speed was still relatively slow.

Thousands of long swords were a big burden for Viola, and the quality was just so-so.

But on Earth, such a small amount of things can be made by any factory, and it's not a big deal.
