After finalizing the purchase contract for the New Dawn, Li Mochen brought his men to another pier in Savannah to inspect the other eight armed merchant ships under his command.
Five of the ships were from Alexandra Kandra. Two of them were 16,000 tons, and three were 14,000 tons. The other three ships were armed merchant ships that Li Mochen had spent a lot of money to purchase. They had a displacement of around 15,000 tons. They were all less than 10 years old, and their equipment and weapon systems were in good condition.
In fact, during the handover, Li Mochen had been here to see the condition of these ships. This time, he had come to see the many crew members he had hired, as well as the preparations of the eight armed merchant ships before they set sail.
He had stayed in Savannah for an entire day, and then returned satisfied.
As the eight ships had just been taken over, and all the crew members had just been recruited, the condition of the ships wasn't too good. He could feel the unfamiliarity in all aspects.
However, the senior captains and retired officers that Li Mochen had hired with a high salary were still very capable.
All the preparations that should be done on each ship had already been perfected under their control. The situation now was that all the ships could start sailing, and they could basically adapt to the harsh conditions of the Sea of Calamity. The crew members were also quite adept at the operation of the ship's weapon systems. In special situations, they could ensure that they would fire normally.
This result had far exceeded Li Mochen's expectations. His previous minimum requirement was to be able to sail the ships. Then, he would rely on Lind's Legendary spells and Magic Tower to ensure their safety in the outer seas of the Antorian continent. And now, he could slightly look forward to the combat power of these eight armed merchant ships.
After this, Li Mochen inspected his private pier, which was located at the end of the Savannah River, the Fecke Bay Pier. This property of the former Godfather of Blood Hand, Edwin Antonio, had finally fallen into his hands.
At this time, most of the goods prepared by Li Mochen and the Targaryen Family were piled up here. When their ships set sail, their goods would also set sail from here. Transported by small barges from the open sea.
Therefore, Li Mochen had stationed a large number of soldiers here. Since a month and a half ago, the Collingson brothers, as well as their five extra-legal combat squads and twenty combat squads, had been stationed here to ensure that the various firearms worth hundreds of millions of gold duns were safe.
Not long ago, Li Mochen had also used the seven sets of 'Devil Refinement' armor and two sets of 'War Devil' armor that Li Mochen had obtained from Anthony.
The private forces that Li Chunchu had left him were undoubtedly the most reliable and trustworthy force under his command. Their only shortcoming was that most of the combatants were young and weak.
However, the two exoskeleton armors produced by the Light and Magic Industry can perfectly make up for this deficiency.
The strength of the 'Devil Refinement' armor was that it could allow any magical professional above level-seven to have the strength of a level-fifteen extra-legal practitioner. This was more comprehensive and powerful than Li Mochen's external elixir.
The requirements for the 'War Devil' armor were even higher. The threshold for wearing this exoskeleton armor was level-nine, but it could give the wearer the strength of level-seventeen.
This could comprehensively strengthen the strength of the core force in Li Mochen's hands, allowing the private forces cultivated by Li Chunchu to become his real assistants.
What was more exciting was that these armors could be perfectly adapted to the environment of sea battles with some special external components, and become terrifying underwater weapons.
Unfortunately, Anthony still had eight sets of 'Devil Refinement' armor and four sets of 'War Devil' armor. It would still take two months to complete the delivery, and they would not be able to make it in time for this trip to Anatolia. Otherwise, the underwater combat force in his hands that he could rely on could be doubled.
Li Mochen stayed here for half a day. After that, he still did not return to Atlanta. Instead, he drove to a spacious country villa in the suburbs of Atlanta.
When he arrived, the place was already full of guests. The guests were all the ship owners of the Wings of the Alliance, and their bodyguards. There were about eighty of them. Franks of the Teutonic Crusades, the representative of the Targaryen family, and Louise Linden were also among them.
These people had different appearances. Some were dressed in suits, looking like elites in the workplace. Some were wearing leather jackets and had their hair combed in a Mohawk. They looked like street thugs, arrogant and unruly. Some were dressed in traditional Chinese clothes, looking graceful and modest.
As soon as Li Mochen, Alyssa, and the rest walked in, they saw the representative of the Targaryen family, as well as Franks. They were all giving him meaningful looks. Louise Linden, who attended the meeting, also had a cold expression.
Li Mochen was slightly stunned. He then swept his gaze across the people present. When he discovered a few figures in the room that should not be there, as well as those provocative gazes, he knew what was going on. He smiled coldly, then leisurely walked to a sofa and sat down.
"I'll give you one minute. Those who did not receive my invitation, please get out. Dainian! "
'Nature's Punisher' Dainian Stussy immediately smiled and unsheathed her sword. The radiance of the Sacred Sword Emos instantly enveloped the entire room.
Beside Li Mochen, 'Eye of the Sky' Howard Eisenhower, 'Magic Spear of the Desert' Carmella Natasha, and Thompson Adams all drew their guns and pointed at the three men at the conference table.
The meeting room was also filled with a series of 'kacha kacha' sounds. Almost everyone had taken out their weapons or guns and were pointing them at each other with vigilance.
At this moment, a man in the prime of his life, whose forehead was pointed at by Howard with a semi-automatic rifle, couldn't help but turn pale. "André. What's the meaning of this? Are you going to shoot at the members of the ship group? "
"You're wrong. We're going to shoot at you."
Li Mochen was also pointed at by a few guns, but his expression was calm and he spoke with a smile.
"I didn't acknowledge you as members of the Wings of the Alliance."
"Whether or not we're members of the Wings of the Alliance is not up to you to decide."
This was another middle-aged man with typical Latin features. He had deep-set eyes and bronze skin. His gloomy, vulture-like eyes were looking at Li Mochen with slight contempt. "This is the right of the five-man management committee of the Wings of the Alliance. It is also the tradition of the Wings of the Alliance. Little fellow, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're the captain chosen by everyone. Speaking of this matter, you didn't get permission from the committee. You brought in the Targaryen family, the Linden family, and this hooligan. You're simply disregarding the rules of our ship group. As a member of the management committee, I absolutely won't agree with your actions. "
When this person spoke, in the living room of the country villa. Most of them nodded in agreement.
Franks couldn't help but laugh. "Wow, I'm being treated as a hooligan."
Li Mochen also shook his head slightly and smiled. Then he leaned back. "You're really righteous, but I'm not interested in reasoning with you. Howard, you know what to do, right? "
"I know!"
Howard Eisenhower grinned. He knew that he was going to be involved in a murder case. But he didn't hesitate at all and opened fire. With a 'peng' sound of a gunshot. The Latin man's head instantly burst like a watermelon. Blood splattered everywhere.
