(It's already 1000 chapters. Shouldn't there be a speech? Yi Zui just wants to say that writing books is very tiring, and pirated books are disgusting. This was especially true for a niche genre like mecha battles. There were already very few people who read them to begin with, and even more people who read pirated versions of them. This was really hurtful to the authors. Don't ever think that the results of Infinite Mecha Battles were very good. Its income and distribution were really much worse than the others. When the authors were discussing issues like distribution in the authors' group chat, Yi Zui really didn't dare to say anything.
Soon the convoy arrived at the port. Xiao Ran stepped out of the car and looked at the real giant cargo ship parked at the port. He nodded slightly.
This was a real giant cargo ship, an extremely huge bulk carrier. Compared with other types of cargo ships, bulk carriers had a very large internal cabin, which was very suitable for Xiao Ran's use. It was just like the cargo ship that carried the Ultralisk, but this one was obviously bigger.
The length alone was about 300 meters, and the width was more than 60 meters. The height in the cargo cabin completely met all the requirements for carrying the AS. The whole ship didn't seem to be too special from the outside. Some parts even looked a little rusty, but after the main island of the Lin Quan family and the subsequent major families joined in to improve it, the interior was actually completely different from ordinary cargo ships.
From what Xiao Ran saw in the progress report, he knew that the interior of the cabin had actually been changed into several parts. The main building above the hull and the rooms below the main building were used to accommodate all the crew members. The changes in these places were actually the smallest.
The biggest change was the huge cargo cabin. A row of six hatch covers above the hull were actually all transformed into six elevators to support the transportation of the AS, transport helicopters and other things. Inside the cabin, there was a large Gnacou. At this time, Xiao Ran's shapeshifting fighter, Langba's wolf-type Fang, three transport helicopters, and six AS, including the Demon King Machine, were parked there.
This Gnacou was about the same size as the Gnacou. All the items were neatly arranged on both sides, occupying more than half of the space in the middle. The rest of the space was filled with daily necessities, weapons, ammunition, and other items needed for maintenance.
The bottom floor was also the real cargo hold of this cargo ship. It was also used to store the equipment obtained during the plundering operation. But because there was no cargo to be transported, it was empty.
Xiao Ran's room was arranged in the largest room in the main building of the ship. Although it was the largest room, in fact, it was less than 20 square meters. It was probably because it was for Xiao Ran's use during the renovation. Everything in the room was more luxurious. There was a TV, a dining table, a sofa, and even a separate bathroom for him to use.
At the same time, he also prepared some entertainment items when he was bored during the journey, such as the country's specialty game console.
Compared to other situations where several people were squeezed into one room, this was indeed the best room.
Lin Quan Dunxin's room was next to Xiao Ran's. The twin sisters Yulan, Yufang, Langba, and CL each lived in a much smaller room on the same floor. Although the room was not big, at least it was clean and tidy. It was almost like a standard suite in a hotel, at least it had everything.
When Xiao Ran entered his room, the attendant behind him put a box of clothes and daily necessities in the room and left. The cargo ship also pulled a loud whistle and slowly moved out of the port, beginning to slowly move towards the north.
Not long after, Lin Quan Dunxin came into the room and saw Xiao Ran standing by the bed and looking into the distance. He coughed lightly to indicate his arrival and said, "Mr. Xiao Ran, now that we have set sail, it will take about 10 days to reach the northern battlefront. After 10 days, the situation may change again. Our goal this time is to plunder the necessary equipment, materials, and personnel. Why not choose a more efficient tool instead of a cargo ship?"
Xiao Ran slowly turned around and looked at Lin Quan Dunxin. When the cargo ship was being renovated, Lin Quan Dunxin had asked for Xiao Ran's opinion. With his wisdom, it was not difficult to guess the reason why Xiao Ran needed this cargo ship. He was puzzled as to why Lin Quan Dunxin did not choose a faster and more efficient tool like a plane. Instead, he chose such a dangerous cargo ship that was wandering in the sea.
Most importantly, using such a large ship would not be able to reach the important targets in the inland. It would not even be able to enter some ports. Even if they robbed something, they would not be able to quickly transport it to the ship. Compared to that, of course, it would be more convenient and reliable to fly.
However, he didn't understand Xiao Ran's real thoughts, because the goal of Xiao Ran's operation this time wasn't just to plunder, but to attack some military facilities that could help him achieve mission completion. If he wanted to use aircraft as a transportation tool, it would be very troublesome, and it wouldn't be effective.
Sometimes, Xiao Ran even needed to wait for the guild to enter. For example, when dealing with Mithril, Xiao Ran had to wait at a close enough distance from the target in order to reach the target location in the shortest time possible to carry out the operation.
Therefore, what Xiao Ran needed was a mobile logistics base that could move freely as an intermediary. If he had the Son of Dan Slave or a battleship, Xiao Ran wouldn't have chosen a freighter that had no mobility at all as a base. After all, if he chose a battleship or an aircraft carrier, it would be too conspicuous and wouldn't have the ability to hide himself. Xiao Ran's only choice was to use the Son of Dan Slave.
Xiao Ran had no choice but to choose such a cargo ship. But after Tessa made a decision, this cargo ship could be put aside.
Xiao Ran wasn't stupid enough to transport all the loot onto the ship. Instead, he would choose a suitable transportation vehicle to transport all the loot away. There was no shortage of large transport aircraft in each base. Even if there wasn't one, they could always use a transport helicopter to replace it.
This was also the reason why Xiao Ran asked Lin Quandun to gather so many people for this operation. Since they could rob the goods they needed, they could also rob the aircraft used to transport the goods. Each batch would require at least two or three people to fly the aircraft back. In fact, there were very few things that needed to be transported back through this ship. If it was convenient, they would take it with them. If it was not convenient, they would directly rob the aircraft to transport it back. This was something that Xiao Ran had already thought about.
So in such an operation, a ship that could move and transport them to the nearest place and start the operation was of course very important. A ship with repair and supply capabilities was of course very important. Therefore, the real duty of this ship was to serve as a base, not a transportation tool.
Since Lin Quandun asked this question, Xiao Ran also explained his thoughts to him. "In fact, I don't really regard this ship as a transportation tool, but more as a mobile logistics base on the sea that can be abandoned at any time. It's just a middle point between us and the country."
"And the transport helicopter on the ship has actually served as a time-sensitive tool. It can transport our AS to where we need to go. Compared to setting off from Japan, of course, we can reach our target faster from this ship. The shorter the journey, the safer it is."
"As for the things we get, in fact, we don't really need to transport them to this ship. Since we can rob the equipment, we can also use the enemy's tools to send them back. In other words, this ship is more like an aircraft carrier for overseas combat. It's just not as conspicuous as an aircraft carrier."
Lin Quandun fully understood after Xiao Ran finished speaking, and he also completely understood Xiao Ran's idea.
This ship was a frontline base, a frontline base that could allow them to flexibly grasp the rhythm of the operation. If it was just a base, then this ship could fulfill this role. After all, although an aircraft carrier was good, it couldn't be used. Once a country's aircraft carrier was deployed, it would once again provoke the nerves of other countries.
But if it was a cargo ship, then it was different. At least in the beginning, under the situation where they were not exposed, a cargo ship had a greater camouflage than an aircraft carrier. It was also more convenient for them to approach the location of the operation and then launch the most sudden attack on the target.
Lin Quandun lightly tapped his palm with his folding fan, then asked, "Then, Mr. Xiao Ran, what is your first target?"
"First target …" Xiao Ran touched his chin, then turned to look out of the window, and slowly said, "Now, both the UA and the Soviet Union are completely enraged. Who knows what the consequences of the nuclear bomb explosion in their territory are. For the time being, it's not good to provoke these two countries."
"Besides, the operation against these two countries is just a matter of convenience. Our main target should be Amalgam and Mithril. As for Mithril, we need to wait for an opportunity. However, there is an important Amalgam base on Sakhalin Island, although it shouldn't be a very important location."
"But there seems to be another executive force there. Maybe there is something worth us taking. Let's set our target there first."
The executive force was the real military force of the Amalgam. This executive force was actually divided into several different teams, led by different senior officers of the Amalgam. They were both the Amalgam's military force and the private army of these senior officers.
The execution team led by Gates was, in fact, only a small part of the team. They were the death squad that focused on eliminating traitors and only listened to the orders of the entire Amalgam team. The real executive force was much, much bigger than Gates's executive force.
