Volume 1 The End of the World Chapter 033(1/2)

The three classes, plus Lao Ye, took three speedboats and one rigid inflatable boat, sailing at a speed of twenty knots. Twenty minutes later, they saw the Gulf of Ushuaia and a small warship.

“I can’t imagine that the original Ushuaia looked like this?”

The speedboat slowed down, and Lao Ye looked around the bay and sighed, "In my impression, here and there, the area of ​​more than ten kilometers is covered with soil ridges and just a few small trees. It's not like the vast red forests now? No wonder Magellan named Tierra del Fuego.

The colonists did evil!"

Looking down from the sky and looking down from the ground, the landscape you see is completely different. The camp site is located in the northwest of the bay. There is no beach. It is a miniature camp about 100 meters at its widest point, 70 to 80 meters at its narrowest point, and about 200 meters long.

Peninsula. Further inside, there are fiery red beech groves, one in the east and one in the west, connecting the vast sea of ​​​​red forests on the main island that look like the Flame Mountain.

"Oh, Uncle Ye, you have finally disembarked, otherwise you will get that thing sooner or later, oh, cabin fever!"

Lin Yaohui pulled Lao Ye onto the small warship, and started to rub salt into Lao Ye's wounds. In full view of everyone, Ye Te wanted to kick him into the sea. The others behaved well, voluntarily lining up on the deck and saluting Lao Ye, as if they were being received by a leader. In this

In the group, Lao Ye received the highest respect. Putting aside the title of "Second Uncle to the Chief Executive", Lao Ye was a high-end person that everyone admired. His existence, to be exaggerated, was like a dazzling needle.

The world's richest people are here, so who am I?

This kind of self-comfort comparison plays a huge role in stabilizing people's hearts after mutation.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye...ah, Uncle Ye, hello!"

Huang Yafa was the most excited. He shook hands with Lao Ye and his tongue curled up as he spoke.

Surveying the hydrology and looking for the camp site was led by Lin Yaohui and Huang Yafa, assisted by Xiao Yue and four other sailors with piloting experience. At noon, I heard that the results were obtained, and Qi Guoqiang and Zhang Xiaobo, who were responsible for maintaining the fleet, also arrived with a tugboat.

Exploring the road. Yate's plan was to land and establish a camp, and then the fleet would anchor in the Gulf of Ushuaia as much as possible. Therefore, he found a peninsula that was convenient for docking barges and determined it as the camp site without hesitation.

"Despite the dilapidated appearance of the barge, it is actually a four-year-old ship. The power configuration exceeds the standard. Two man b&w 6s60l diesel engines are as good as container ships. The rated horsepower exceeds 20,000 horsepower and the usage time is up to 3,000 hours. It is fully loaded with 12 knots and cruises at 3 knots.

It is very easy to run at 17 or 8 knots with a light load. The disadvantage is that the fuel and water tank is too small and the endurance is poor. However, it can be used as an ocean-going ship if it sails with the fleet and avoids waters with high sea conditions. These two are the most impressive

The ship we were worried about was fine, and we took a quick look at the other ships. Generally speaking, the ship was in excellent condition. The biggest problem now is the personnel. Uncle Qi and I did the calculations, and with the newcomers, there were more than 200 men, less than 200 men.

It's a little less. From now on, training will take as long as half a year or as little as two or three months. At that time, it will be enough to activate the entire fleet."

Xiaopao Zhang Xiaobo kept talking about the topic, and it was easy to hear that he was eager to leave. Wasn't Ye Te the same? Being eager is useless. He nodded perfunctorily, turned to look at Huang Ya and asked: "What I care about is that with so many types of ships, you guys

Will it drive? First of all, can it be safely driven to the bay and anchored?"

"Woo..."

The wailing sound came from dozens of mouths, and everyone in the three classes was booing. Lin Yaohui also joined in, seeming to be insulted. The most exaggerated one was the cook Tu Wei, who beat his chest and feet as if he was about to be dragged away and shot. Old Ye was amused and showed a smile he had not seen for a long time.

Huang Ya felt swollen and said with a red face: "Sir, if you can't do such a thing, I will be the first to climb up the crane and hang myself."

Ye Te nodded again, and asked Lin Yaohui, "I'll leave the power saw to you to assemble, is that okay?"

"Brother, why do you keep asking questions like this? Why don't you look at the people on our boat?" Lin Yaohui yelled.

Ye Te then patted his head as if he had an epiphany, turned around and left. Old Ye didn't need him to pull him and followed the speedboat by himself. Zhang Xiaobo asked without knowing what was going on: "Where are they going?"

"What do you think?" Lin Yaohui saw that he was unhappy and asked angrily.

Qi Guoqiang patted the holster on Zhang Xiaobo's waist and said, "How many days have you not touched this gun? You didn't participate in the live-fire training yesterday, so what will you say today?"

"Oh, I'll go too!" Zhang Xiaobo obediently ran onto the deck and jumped on Liu Xicai's speedboat.

Tierra del Fuego does not have the scenery of blooming flowers in spring, only the spectacle of seals being infested in spring. Position yourself on the shore, aim carefully, and shoot at those silly seals. Victory is a small matter, but the training effect is compromised, which is a big deal. A few nights

, before Ye Te went to bed, he always thought about how to quickly improve his combat effectiveness. He encouraged the felling of trees and felled trees, which was mostly a prank. Today's live-fire training method was something he came up with through hard work.

"The squad leader gives the command, stand at attention! Count... two, four, six, eight, turn back and sit down!"

"One, three, five, seven, draw your gun! Load the magazine...Load the gun...Hold it straight, aim...Fire!"

"One, three, five, seven, put the gun away and sit down. Two, four, six, eight, stand up... draw the gun... load the magazine... load the gun..."

The three speedboats were anchored fifty meters apart. They followed Ye Te's instructions and fired in unison. Hundreds of seals in the water watched with interest. Each person on board fired five bullets before escaping from the range. The advantages of seafarers were revealed. Compared with ordinary people,

People, they are more stable standing on the boat. At a distance of 30 meters, out of ten bullets, only three or four were hit, and most were six or seven. The ones with the highest hit rate were Lao Ye and Cannon Liu Xicai who had sneaked into the team, and almost all of them hit the target.

No false hair.

"Sail the boat and change places. Liu Xicai, pay attention to Zhang Xiaobo. His shooting hand is bent and the muzzle of the gun is shaking. He puts the gun back and throws it back, and his body makes unnecessary movements."

Such painstaking efforts are really necessary. Expelling Carl and the foreign sailors only buys time. It is a bit like two parties in a duel, each retreating a certain distance, and then turning around to shoot at the other side. Although our own side has the advantage in weapons, the other side is hiding in the dark. The huge fleet is scattered.

Placed in a narrow strait, it is difficult to move. The initiative in the battle is not in your hands. The opponent can fight how and when they want. We can only passively respond to the fight and have no other choice.

Yete was annoyed at the gift of guns and ammunition. At that time, he couldn't turn his head around. He didn't understand what his second uncle said about "power...there is no bargaining", so he funded the enemy in a daze. The opponent had less guns and ammunition, which was enough for a sneak attack. Of course.

, this is something that the four people who knew about it will never decrypt, Lao Ye emphasized in particular. Lao Ye kept Shunzi by his side mostly for the sake of keeping it secret.

After changing two places, more than a hundred seals were lying dead in the water and on the shore. The improvement was significant, and five people caught up with Lao Ye and the cannon's hit rate. The shore was boiling like a market, seals were on the run, and penguins and sea lions were not harmed.

They were also running away, and their dense and piercing screams were very discordant.

Yate said with satisfaction: "The next training subject is shooting while marching, the squad leader drives the boat, and the speed is five knots."

In a dynamic environment, when shooting dynamic seals, the accurate head will fly down. With ten rounds of bullets, half of them will miss one shot, and half of them will be lucky enough to hit one or two. After three rounds, there is no improvement, and Lao Ye is also floating around with two or three bullets.

.Yate felt that this was it, and was preparing to finish the last round, but almost had an accident.

"I am Cao! Put away the gun, idiot, stop the boat and put away the gun!"

Zhang Xiaobo fired the last shot and let go of the pistol. He was afraid of falling into the water, so he raised his legs to catch it. The pistol was left on the boat, and he fell out of the boat. This guy was a halfway monk, and his balance was far inferior to others. It didn't matter, the boat was too small.

, the gun he released hit someone, frightening the whole ship. Several guys were in a hurry and even raised their guns at each other. Fortunately, they had run out of bullets and it did not cause a big disaster. Ye Te was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and cursed Liu Xicai.

"I told you that Zhang Xiaobo made unnecessary moves, you were blind and deaf! Humph, good friends save face, right? I'm warning you, if you do this again, you will definitely kill him and yourself!"

Liu Xicai was so sprayed that he lowered his eyebrows and drooped his eyes, so he took Zhang Xiaobo aboard, not daring to say anything back.

"How many times do I have to repeat it? Live-fire training is actual combat!" Ye Te, still angry, turned around and sneered at everyone, "Seals can't fight back. The people next to you have guns! Don't think they are comrades, Zhang Xiaobo is so small

Unexpectedly, my comrades immediately turned into enemies. Standardize, cooperate, focus, talk about it every day, talk about it all the time, and turn a deaf ear to it, but you are still trying to kill yourself? Ah! The more narrow the space..."

Every time he led the team to train, Ye Te would go crazy about this and that. Today's training method is very dangerous. Many people are crowded on a moving boat and shooting, and it is easy to accidentally get hurt. It is a typical example of trying to encourage others and being too eager for quick success.

The plan for sailor military training was simple at first. All the sailors learned to use pistols, and some outstanding ones also learned long guns or heavy weapons. By this standard, the goal was basically achieved. With the emergence of new people, the plan was adjusted. It was hoped that the fifty-seven sailors would set an example and serve as enlightenment instructors.

When new people joined, they were integrated quickly. The standards were improved, and it was no wonder that the sailors performed surprisingly well. In addition to veterans, 90% of them graduated from college and had received military training and handled guns. They often went abroad, and most of them had experience with live ammunition. In the end,

It's rare that everyone is brave enough and has a strong psychological quality. After just a few days of training, the overall quality is no worse than that of new recruits in the army.

In the final analysis, Yate's mentality has changed drastically. At that time, he compromised with Karl, but it was a hasty delaying strategy, and he did not expect to occupy the "maritime supermarket". Integrating the sailors and absorbing new people was easy to do, and his ambition was quietly growing. He may not be the master of the matter.

Awakening, but the reasons and motivations for preserving the fleet emerged. If he gave in to compromise, he would no longer be Yate.

"The guns will be randomly inspected tomorrow morning. If one person maintains carelessly or does not maintain it at all, the whole class will be punished. There is no need to get on the boat for the next training. Let's go into the water and fight the seals fairly. I hope you like it. That's the end of today, let's return!"

After a week of military training, the novelty of guns gradually faded away. No one liked formation and physical training, and the effect of full-day military training was not necessarily good. I shortened half a day today to make time for future sailor training.

"Haha, danger is everywhere."

On the way back, Lao Ye took the place of the sulky Ye Te and sailed the boat, chatting with the people on the boat and making a fool of himself. "Although the training is dangerous, I think the effect is good, what do you think?"

"I feel good too, I'm much better than yesterday."

"Yes, if I practice for a few more days and return to the shore, I might be able to hit the target with perfect accuracy."

"If I practice for a few more days, I can hit at least two out of three shots, even on the boat."

"How many more days do you want to practice? Haven't you seen the newcomers participating in morning exercises? There are so many people, and each bullet will be more expensive than gold in the future."

"It doesn't matter if a newcomer is here. We already have officers, or even worse, they are still instructors. Haha..."

"Yes, let Xiao Pao teach them how to shoot and dive."

"I agree! Haha..."

A group of people were thick-skinned and did not worry about being scolded. They were laughing and joking in the blink of an eye. Ye Te's temper came and went quickly. When he returned to the small warship docking area, the rain had passed and the sky cleared. He jumped on the shore and immediately yelled, not at all.

Like the highest officer.

"Wow wow wow! You are deforestation indiscriminately!"

Lin Yaohui and others not only assembled the power saw, but also went ashore to cut down hundreds of beech trees. Every row was like a mountain, and Ye Te looked down on the sailors again. People have been dealing with machinery for many years, and playing with a power saw is like playing with a child's toy.

"It's not difficult at all. It's much easier than playing with a gun!" Lin Yaohui sawed down a tree with a diameter of 30 centimeters at breast height in a few minutes.

Ye Te was very hurt. Anyway, he was learning to use a power saw, but he didn't master the key for a long time. He questioned: "You dare to say that it is your first time to use a power saw, and I dare to eat this tree."

"Haha... I often cut trees in Rio." Lin Yaohui said with a smile.

"Sir, is it really useful to cut down trees?" Xiao Yue came to join in the fun, "Has that lumberjack been cutting trees for many years? How many trees do we have to cut down?" This guy can disassemble and assemble a pistol as fast as Lin Yaohui, but he can shoot and lose it.

Even the face of the veteran. I never hit a seal twenty meters away, not even a seal carcass.

"It's time for you to leave. Let's discuss it when you come back." Yete waved his hand like he was shooing away flies.

Xiao Yue left unwillingly. The seals produced by the live ammunition shooting were recovered by the small warship. They were slaughtered by the cook, assisted by half a shift, and then sent back to the Panamanian ship for storage.

"Keep your distance, pay attention to safety, and trees must fall to remind each other."

There are ready-made masters, each squad leader assigns apprentices, and the felling begins vigorously. Yate uses a loudspeaker to shout for supervision. The story of the lumberjack is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The root cause is that someone shot an agent in the head, and everyone is a witness. There are shortcuts to master.

With such awesome skills, who wouldn’t be eager to be the first?

"I don't need to teach you what this is, I have one at home!"

Zhang Xiaobo arrived late and arrogantly snatched a power saw. He changed into a set of dry clothes, which he probably left on the small warship after being kicked into the sea last time. Ye Te had tolerated him for a long time today and felt the need to say something harsh.
