Chapter 1476 It’s really not a small place!
A naval battle had just ended, and there were a lot of things that needed Bai Tu to deal with. He was still very busy and had no time to take care of Charlie for the time being.
After he finished all the tasks at hand, Bai Tu had no time to rest. The next step was to interrogate the prisoners of war and obtain intelligence information about the Patton Empire as quickly as possible.
Obviously, Bai Tu had no intention of obtaining intelligence only from Charlie from the beginning.
Things like intelligence still need to be compared.
However, this time more than 370 prisoners of war were captured, and it was obviously unrealistic for him to interrogate them one by one.
To this end, Bai Tu directly ordered the officers to be brought out for interrogation, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers were arranged in batches for his subordinates to interrogate.
Just confirm the questions you want to ask first, and then compare the information when the time comes.
There were not many officers, which greatly reduced Bai Tu's work pressure.
When the last officer was interrogated by him and walked out of the tent, Charlie was brought over by his personal guards.
The two sides passed each other, and Charlie naturally recognized the other party. Then he quickly realized that the other party was probably interrogating his subordinates, and his heart sank.
[Fuck! After being captured, I was kept in solitary confinement. I don’t know how much this guy knows now. What if the answer I give doesn’t match others? Doesn’t that directly prove that I’m lying?! ]
Needless to say, Bai Tu deliberately let Charlie see this scene.
Otherwise, he could have waited until he had interrogated the man and sent him back before asking his personal guards to bring Charlie over.
Although he is busy, there is no need to be so strict about his schedule.
Just as Charlie was thinking this, Bai Tu, who was sitting at the desk, raised his head.
"Mr. Blaze, please take a seat."
Hearing Bai Tu's voice, Charlie, who had originally lowered his head slightly and his attention still on the subordinate who had just walked out, subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from.
As a result, he just happened to see Bai Tu rolling up a piece of parchment that looked slightly familiar.
Charlie's eyelids twitched wildly when he saw this scene.
Just as he was about to take another look to confirm, Bai Tu had already put the parchment into the book tube beside him, and the voice sounded again...
"I wonder how the sea map is going, Master Blazer?"
Hearing this, and thinking of the parchment that Bai Tu had just put in, Charlie immediately broke out in a cold sweat! [Sea chart?! Why does it look so familiar? Is that the sea chart on the ship?!]
There was no time to think about it. Charlie subconsciously let out two dry laughs, buying himself some time to react.
"The drawing of the nautical chart now depends entirely on my memory. It won't be that fast. It will take some time."
In response, Bai Tu did not urge him, but just nodded.
This made Charlie even more uneasy.
[This guy has already got the sea chart! He still asked me to draw it, just testing me! He wants to see if I will behave! ]
Charlie, realizing this, felt even more psychologically stressed and subconsciously became extremely alert, fearing that he might make a mistake and get hurt.
After that, Bai Tu really started the same "small talk" as before.
The entire topic revolves around various intelligence about the Patton Empire.
For example, what is the size of the Patton Empire? How is its development? In addition, of course, there is more important information, that is, how many warships the Patton Empire has!
This is undoubtedly very important for them who are at sea.
Even though the previous battle was won easily, the power of the three-bow crossbow and the matchlock gun was greater than the opponent's crossbow and individual crossbow.
But in fact, compared with the advantage in equipment, there was a more important point at that time.
That is, the number of their warships is almost twice that of the enemy! And with the help of the biological bomber, the Pterosaur Rider! This is the biggest reason why they can beat the enemy without any chance of fighting back! But once the forces of both sides are evenly matched, it is hard to say.
They have the advantage of equipment, while the opponents have the advantage of experienced experience. It is really hard to easily conclude who will win or lose in the end.
Of course, Charlie also knew the importance of this information.
As the son of the Imperial Navy Marshal and a lieutenant commander himself, it would be unreasonable for him to say that he didn't know.
Before, he would have definitely exaggerated this issue as much as possible.
After all, the larger the size of their imperial navy, the stronger its deterrent power, and the less likely this guy in front of him would dare to touch him.
But the problem now is that he doesn’t know what those guys said before!
Whenever he thought of this, Charlie became so annoyed that he wanted to roar to the sky to vent his increasingly violent emotions.
[What should I do? What should I do? ! ! ]
At this moment, facing Bai Tu's questioning, Charlie was anxious and sweating, and kept asking himself in his heart.
[Even if those guys can't tell me the exact number of warships in the Imperial Navy, they must have a rough idea. If my answer is too far off, wouldn't it be a rip-off?]
At this moment, his life is in Bai Tu's hands, and Charlie really doesn't dare to gamble his life on this.
"The Imperial Navy has many fleets. I serve in the North Sea Fleet in the North Sea of the Empire. I am not particularly clear about the size of the fleets in other seas."
Charlie has found a reason for himself.
Bai Tu listened and didn't think much about it.
"Then may I ask how many warships your country's North Sea Fleet has?"
"Three large warships, thirty fast ships, and the number of assault ships has not been confirmed, but there should be about three hundred."
"Let me confirm, does this number include your ships?"
Faced with this question, Charlie's heart skipped a beat, but he finally nodded.
Bai Tu was very calm after getting this answer. After all, he had basically confirmed this answer during the previous interrogation.
There is no need to consider the assault ships for the time being, let’s just talk about the large warships and speedboats. After removing one large ship and four speedboats, the North Sea Fleet still has 28 warships in total!
He had to admit that this number was a little beyond his initial expectations.
According to the intelligence Charlie had provided earlier, the Patton Empire consisted of seven relatively concentrated islands.
If Zhou Xu were here, he would realize that the so-called Patton Empire should be an archipelago country.
So compared to the army, they vigorously develop the navy, which also makes their naval fleet astonishingly large.
If the North Sea Fleet is of this size, the sizes of the three fleets distributed in the other three sea areas will definitely not be too different.
According to conservative estimates, the Patton Empire has at least ten large warships, and as for speedboats, there are probably hundreds of them.
[Damn it, this is not a small place! ]
