Steel, Guns, and the Industrial Party that Traveled to Another World

On a high ground nearby, "Loach" Garden stood there with a smug look at the fishing village with flames rising to the sky.

At this time, a small leader ran over from the village and reported to him:

"Chief, we have almost robbed everything."

Garden nodded and said, "Gather everyone, let's retreat, it will be bad if we attract the nosy blue dog."

"Yes!" The small leader responded and ran back to the village.

...

The establishment of the navy caused great headaches for the pirates, especially the pirates in the waters near Alda, making them feel nervous when they went ashore.

After Alda Lord Paul Graman killed his father's murderer Shark, other pirates thought that the lord would stop and continue to abide by the treaty signed between the Northwest Territories and the pirates, turning a blind eye to their behavior of going ashore from time to time.

Who would have thought that Shark, this bastard, would stir up a hornet's nest. The young and energetic lord seemed to hate all the pirates together. Since the public trial that day, a message has slowly spread throughout the sea area: Earl Graman wants to eliminate all the pirates in the Northwest Bay.

This is not bragging. Earl Graman has specially set up a navy to deal with them.

At first, due to insufficient strength, the navy did not take the initiative to encircle and suppress them, but the pirates still felt the pressure.

Their actions along the coast of Arda began to hit a snag. In the past, the pirates would rest for two days in the place where they plundered after landing, but now it is not possible. They must run away immediately, otherwise the Arda navy will hear the news and hit them hard.

The pirates did not want to come over to fight head-on, but the other side was equipped with powerful weapons. Often, before they could get close to the other side, they would hear a strange crackling sound, and a large number of them would fall down.

After that, they must have dispersed in a hurry. The pirates finally understood how Shark was finished.

They had to change their strategy and no longer stayed in the looting area to rest, but instead just robbed and left.

But gradually this method did not work, and the Alda Navy sent commissioners to station in coastal villages and towns to reorganize, train and command local militia.

The militias spontaneously organized by the villagers were just in form and were no match for the pirates, but after being trained by the navy, they gradually gained the courage and ability to deal with the pirates.

In view of the long coastline and the fact that the navy could not disperse its forces too much, Austin presided over the construction of a series of coastal defense projects at the beginning of his tenure.

He convened representatives of coastal villages and towns in Fulan Port and put forward his own plan:

Each village and town must build a simple fortress that can accommodate all local residents. Small villages can directly surround themselves with wooden walls. They do not need to be too strong, but the defense facilities on them must be able to last at least one day and one night.

Each village and town must also build a beacon tower on its coast, station local militia on it, and organize patrols on the shore.

Once a suspicious ship is approaching, the beacon fire will be lit. After receiving the beacon fire alarm, the villagers will hide in the fortress and the militia will prepare for defense.

Then wait for the main force of the navy to rush to the rescue. No matter how the other party tempts, don't go out to fight.

After entering September, the coastal defense projects of coastal villages and towns were gradually completed and played a great role.

Although some property that was not taken away in time will still be robbed after the pirates attack, the number of people being robbed has been greatly reduced.

The navy immediately dispatched every time after seeing the beacon fire alarm, blocking many pirate gangs that had not yet retreated, and fought several annihilation battles fiercely.

As the training level of the militia gradually improved, they also learned how to judge the enemy's combat power and were able to deal with some small pirate gangs at the right time.

The Arda Territory gradually became a landing restricted area for pirates in the Northwest Bay, and the pirate gangs shifted their targets to rob other territories.

However, fishing boats and merchant ships are still threatened by pirates. After the threat on land was basically lifted, Austin began to turn his attention to the sea.

Six paddle boats that had completed the drill began to patrol the sea and provide escort for civilian ships. Although the sailors were basically inexperienced, they were still irresistible to the pirates due to the presence of muskets and grenades. These small shrimps left behind by Edward only had the ability to board and fight. Due to the lack of long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, they were completely suppressed by firearms.

So far, the Alda Navy has finally become a presence that pirates are afraid of. Their reputation has gradually spread, and their range of activities has become larger and larger. Sometimes they will "cross the line" to teach pirates who plunder neighboring territories a lesson.

However, there is a relatively exception to the pirate gang, that is the "loach" Garden Gang that gives Austin a headache.

…

The "blue striped dog" in Garden's mouth refers to the Alda Navy. The nickname comes from their white and blue sailor uniforms, which have become the symbol of the Alda Navy.

The four pirate gangs that were originally ranked ahead of the Loach Gang, the Shark Gang and the Quik Gang, were killed by Graman himself because they were looking for death. The other two gangs were also hit by the Alda Navy when they landed and were severely injured.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Only the Loach Gang relied on its caution and cunningness, and gradually grew stronger after suffering a few small losses.

Unlike his mad dog counterparts who only knew how to "rob, rob, rob", Garden had stationed many spies on land. These spies were either small vendors walking in various villages and towns, or local residents who were coerced and induced. From time to time, they passed on some very useful information to him through some special channels, such as the defense strength of a certain place, the quality and number of militias, whether there were naval activities nearby, etc.

With the help of this information, the Loach Gang boldly did a few "deals" that made the Arda Navy a little embarrassed.

Intimidated by the reputation of the navy, the Loach Gang only robbed things in these operations and did not kill the lives of the people. There was a saying among the pirates that the lord of Arda would show leniency to those pirates who had no lives on their hands. Whether it was true or not, they should not make the feud too big. But for the villages and towns in other territories, they were not so polite and burned and killed as before.

The reason why Jarden dared to do this after Alda became a pirate landing restricted area was to declare to other pirates: there is still a pirate group in the Northwest Bay that can make Graman helpless, so as to build his prestige in the hearts of the pirates.

Because he gradually had a dream that he had never had before, or an ambition - to unify the pirate forces in the Northwest Bay and become the second Edward.

At first, this was just an idea. When it flashed through his mind, he would laugh at himself and think it was just a daydream.

But as his strength increased, he could not suppress this idea, and it eventually turned into an ambition.

And the contact with a mysterious person not long ago made him more persistent in his ambition.
