Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Want to Practice in Real Combat_1

With a thunderous boom.

A few seconds later, in the direction of the bow, a massive column of water shot up into the sky from thousands of meters away!

Wang Ye grinned, this feeling of firing cannon, really feels awesome!

Furthermore, ship guns on military vessels, especially the one on this ten-thousand-ton destroyer, have practically no recoil, given their massive weight.

The visual effect of firing might not be as impressive as ground artillery.

But the power is in no way inferior!

One round was not enough, so Wang Ye fired a few more. He didn’t know how many fish and shrimp he had blown up before he finally felt satisfied.

Although this cruiser was not equipped with missiles or the accompanying radar system.

But it was fitted with powerful ship guns, and it came with a complete ammunition depot, automatic ammunition loading system, cooling system, and a fire-control radar specifically for the ship guns!

It was, in short, a complete weapon system, more than sufficient for self-defense.

If he managed to land a few armed helicopters on it in the future and got a few short-range anti-air and anti-ship missile systems from Shao Yigu, then this cruiser would be fully armed!

Of course, the reason why he got himself this big vessel was not with the intention of going to naval battles with other nations...

As long as it was adequate, it was mainly used for "window dressing!"

Add to that, it could also be used as a transport ship - given the size of the ship, it could carry a lot of people and materials at once.

......

Not only was a cruiser delivered this time, but also other accompanying vessels, such as amphibious landing ships and frigates.

So the few hundred people brought by Peterlo were just barely enough to operate these warships.

The other ships were unknown, but this ten-thousand-ton destroyer seemed rather sparse.

The crew were busy with their respective duties.

Nalan Yaqi and Ruan Xiaozhu took a stroll together and due to the large interior space of the ship, the two girls almost got lost...

After their tour, when their excitement faded, they began to consider a practical issue.

"What do you think... What does Wang Ye want to do with such a big warship? Is he going to war?" Nalan Yaqi asked innocently.

Ruan Xiaozhu wasn’t certain about this either.

Logically, no matter how wealthy or powerful Wang Ye was now, he wouldn’t establish a private army and go to war, right?

He’s not a warlord after all...

However, if he’s not going to war, why buy such a large warship?

Could it be used as a private yacht...

She’d never heard of any billionaires who would opt for a ten-thousand-ton destroyer instead of a yacht!

"Perhaps... It’s for their security company to fight pirates?" Ruan Xiaozhu guessed.

Aside from combating pirates, she really couldn’t think of what else the warship could be used for.

"Oh...fight pirates? That should be exciting! Later, I’ll ask Wang Ye when they are going to fight the pirates, and I want to go along and have a look." Nalan Yaqi exclaimed excitedly.

This girl was simple-minded, but Ruan Xiaozhu was much more rational than her.

She shook her head, saying, "I don’t want to go. War is deadly! Although pirates are downright wicked, witnessing it...will also make you feel uncomfortable."

Of course, war is not as "romantic" as depicted in movies and TV series. Real-world warfare is very brutal and bloody!

However, taking a ten-thousand-ton cruiser to fight pirates is indeed a dimension reduction attack. There’s basically no danger; it’s just one-sided crushing.

......

In fact, Nalan Yaqi’s guess was indeed the same as Wang Ye’s plan this time.

Because in the command room, Wang Ye was excitingly asking Peterlo the same question.

"This is no fun firing at the open sea. Is there any potential target for us to practice?"

His intention was clear; he wanted real combat practice!

Of course, this target must be chosen carefully, one that wouldn’t trigger any diplomatic disputes and wouldn’t case troubles if they didn’t fight back...

After all, he just wanted to test the power of the warship in real combat. Wang Ye didn’t want to risk his life.

Without any hesitation, Petrov responded, "It’s simple. Just go out and fight pirates. However, it’s not always possible to encounter pirates. It depends on luck. If you, boss, want to have some fun, I can arrange it for you. But it will take some time."

Wang Ye raised his eyebrows, "Let’s do it! Once it’s arranged, let me know and I’ll fly straight over."

Just like a child who had just gotten a new toy, he felt incomplete without really using and experiencing the toy...

As for whether taking a ten-thousand-ton cruiser to fight pirates is too "cruel", Wang Ye argued if pirates could be considered human beings?

Don’t be deceived by the glorified pirates in movies. The actual pirates deserve to be sentenced to death!

More so, in international waters, even if you blow up pirate ships directly, you don’t have to bear any legal responsibilities...

......

It took nearly a day to sail the fleet from the Black Sea Shipyard to Sevastopol back.

The fleet was moored at the rented port, and everyone took a car back to the security base here.

Wang Ye had been here several times, so he didn’t have much feeling.

But the girls who were here for the first time were once again shocked by the scene at the base.

Not to mention how large the base was, but the groups of soldiers in heavy training, the shrieking armored cars whizzing by, and the rumbling helicopters flying overhead...

All these made them feel, is this...

A real regular army?!

"This... this is a military camp, isn’t it?" Ruan Xiaozhu quietly asked Wang Ye.

"Hehe, this is Wagner Company’s security base. There are three bases like this, located in Moscow, Siberia, and the Crimea Peninsula. Of course, this base is the largest, with the most personnel and equipment." Wang Ye cheerfully explained to her.

This wasn’t a secret, so there was no need to hide it from anyone.

"Goodness...There must be several thousand people here!" Nalan Yaqi exclaimed, her eyes wide open. She never looked back while looking at the groups of soldiers on the training field outside and asked.

Wang Ye thought for a moment, "If you count the people on the warships, there are now probably four or five thousand."

In the past six months or so, since Peterlo came, the expansion of the Wagner Company has been extremely fast!

On the one hand, Peterlo has plenty of channels to recruit elite retired special forces, and on the other hand, Wagner Company has got a big order, which can sustain the company’s operation.

Then Wang Ye no longer restricted the company’s pace of expansion, and instead supported the company to form a large scale as soon as possible and improve its combat effectiveness!
