Chapter 288 Diary of the Captain of the Prince
I bought rice in advance this time, so the Lushan was able to go directly to Australia. However, this time, due to the route, I walked on the east coast of Australia, which was the previous Lushan north. For the Lushan, which is the powerhouse, the monsoon and windless belts have no effect at all. As long as the route I have been here, I can enter the computer to walk by myself even at night.
When Lushan was about to sail near the equator that morning, Captain Lodge appeared on the deck with a bucket fishing rod and a homemade cigar in his hands. For navigation, the captain of a modern ship had much less tasks. Just give some orders with a walkie-talkie. What's more, most of the sailors and turbines on the Lushan ship were veterans of the Navy. Many times, they could solve the problem without saying anything.
But Captain Luojie, who was fishing and having fun on this day, had a little accident.
The first mate said: "The captain, the radar of the southeast radar shows that there is a ship reaction. A small boat has a speed of about four to six knots, if neither of us changes direction. Contact after 1:5 hours."
Captain Lodge sniffed a cigar: "Then let's get in touch, I think there are no ships in the seventeenth century that can only pose a threat to us."
He replied sharply: "You are right. Keep the course, contact after 1:5 hours, and after 1:05 minutes, military personnel climb the deck and the fort."
After the former warship Lushan dismantled the 400mm main gun and 105mm high-level dual-purpose anti-aircraft gun, only some 20mm machine guns (with a turret) were left to deal with possible pirates - after all, this is a teaching ship, not a warship, and such force is enough to deal with those pirates who are robbed with rifles and speedboats. This amount of force is still for the safety of students and teachers. Ordinary freighters and fishing boats are equipped with a few machine guns to deter pirates.
The Prince, which was discovered at this time, was not a small boat, but a Spanish sailboat with a total of 1,000 tons, which is known for its bulkiness even in Europe. Of course, the Lushan ship with a tonnage of only one-fifty of the tonnage is also a small boat. After all, the Lushan ship was transformed into a teaching ship is not uncommon, not to mention larger oil tankers and freighters. The larger the tonnage on sea freight, the lower the cost. After the tonnage of the ship exceeds 200,000 tons, the shipping cost is almost zero.
At this time, the captain of the Prince Pirloko did not have the comfortable life of Captain Roger's fishing and smoking. After sailing from South America and sailing half of the Pacific Ocean, people endured the torture of rats and cockroaches and lice, more than 200 sailors and soldiers on the Prince, including Captain Pirlo, were exhausted, and even threw some sick crew members into the sea in the middle of the journey. In order to prevent infectious diseases, this is the best way to be considered effective in the Age of Discovery.
Now there are only 196 people left on the Prince. Everyone is looking forward to arriving in Manila so that the crew and soldiers on the Prince can go ashore to rest. Manila has wine and clean water, women (of course, it costs money), no deterioration food, and hard bread that will not break teeth, which is enough.
About 1.5 hours later, everything was staged according to Captain Roger's script.
The crew members on the Prince exclaimed: "Look, the devil ship, no, it is a ghost ship. God, the devil ship appears in the blue sky and the sun. Has God abandoned us?"
Jin Sanduo shouted in the electric horn in German and French, respectively: "This is Lushan. I hope you will stop the ship and accept our inspection."
As for why you have to stop the ship on the high seas for inspection - Dear, it's just that you forgot that your fist is big. The focus now is that the Lushan is unique in the world's oceans, so the Lushan order should be accepted unconditionally. In other words, the Lushan word is the law - although it has nothing to do with justice, when it comes to law, Britain is related to the law that a child steals a piece of bread hundreds of years later and will be hanged. In any country, it seems that the general child theft will not be killed.
Perhaps because of the ship's words they could understand, the sailors on the deck got busy, untied their guns and filled with gunpowder and ammunition.
Captain Roger in the telescope saw this scene and said sadly: "Let's open fire, they are a group of masters who don't cry until they see the coffin."
Based on the principle of saving ammunition, the Lushan was cross-fired with three 20 mm machine guns a thousand meters away.
"God." Looking at the messy corpses and wounded, Captain Pirlo finally believed that they had encountered the devil ship. He saw the Lushan fire with his own eyes just now. There was no white smoke. A bunch of shells hit the deck and the turrets below, killing and injuring the brave soldiers of the Spanish Empire one by one beyond the range. The prince's good naval guns are not that far away, but that they have no accurate head at all when they hit so far. The general standard is that artillery soldiers are allowed to fire within 400 meters. If there are excellent gunners, the hit rate of this distance can be about 5%.
After a round of firepower strikes, Jin Sanduo's voice continued to come out: "Surrender, we treat prisoners with preferential treatment. Otherwise, we can only continue firing."
After turning off the electric speaker, Jin Sanduo turned on the walkie-talkie and asked, "Which side of this ship is from? Are there some of the ones we can kill directly?"
Zhang Leping from the History Group said: "There is only one explanation for the ship's type and course, and the Spanish gold transport ship."
When it sounds like it is Spanish, it doesn't matter. After all, the Spanish colonists and robbers of this era are no different. A few years ago, they massacred tens of thousands of Chinese in Manila, just because they were afraid that these Chinese would collude with the Ming Dynasty to plot against the Philippines - in fact, this is not the case at all.
The next goal of the Australian Republic is to wait until Australia is safe and take down Manila, so the Lushan has not traded to Manila and exposed its strength. Of course, there is no psychological burden for everyone to kill this group of people directly - it can even be said that as long as Spanish ships meet Lushan, there is only one word death. After all, hearing is false and seeing is true. Rumors circulating from other places are not enough to make Manila's Spanish defend against Lushan's future attack.
Many people, like Captain Roger, used their respective telescopes to observe the reaction on the Spanish sailboat at a safe distance. To everyone's surprise, internal strife broke out on the ship. After several people were killed, the remaining people threw the bodies and seriously injured on the ship into the sea. Then they raised white chess and concentrated the weapons and personnel on the deck. Of course, the weapons and personnel were separated.
It is obvious that this is to accept the surrender of the Lushan, but the Lushan did not intend to send them back to Australia. The labor force needed by the Lushan must at least have the virtue of hard work and kindness. It does not require any uncontrollable factors. Throwing to an island on the road can save a lot of food and tonnage. Although the island where the Lushan was preparing to exile was still hunting humans in the 1960s (including the passers-by in the neighboring villages who were left alone by their protein source), maybe the indigenous people on the island in this seventeenth century were very hospitalized.
On this day, Pirlo wrote in the captain's diary: Today, we encountered the legendary devil ship. The huge hull and the fierce firepower on it made the sailors and soldiers lose their resistance. Paul, the missionary of the Prince, still hoped that everyone would resist and win over the sailors of the Prince and several sailors.
However, most people disagree to do this and fight the Devil Ship without any hope. Moreover, the speed of our Prince is far less than that of this huge Devil Ship without sails. I don’t know who started the first move, maybe it was Evans, in short, the missionary Paul and the others died.
The wounded and corpses who had no hope of healing were thrown into the sea, and we raised the white flag to concentrate all the weapons, so as not to cause misunderstandings. The good news is that they may have seen what we were doing and did not open fire at this time. You know, at that time, most people were waiting for judgment on the deck. Yes, we, a group of God's Lambs, can only wait for the judgment of the devil now, just as God did not respond to me when I prayed countless times, and this time God did not respond to me.
This is not the first time I have doubted the existence of the Lord. Well, I admit that I am a sinner. Perhaps because I am a sinner, I can be judged by the devil, and those who are not sinners have been judged by us.
The people of this devil ship were strange. They did not think about getting on the ship to rob the 350,000 pounds of silver and 30,000 pounds of gold on the ship. You should know that this was almost the income of the Spanish Empire in the Americas for a quarter. They just tied the Prince with their devil ship with steel cables. Then they sent some soldiers to watch over the people of the Prince on the back deck of the devil ship. In this way, the Prince continued to sail under the drag of the devil ship.
If I were asked to say that even when encountering strong winds, the Prince Manfan was not so fast - I had never seen a ship that could only run at this speed. If I had to say what was going on, then I must be driven by the power of the devil.
Finally, we only took a few hours to reach our destination under the devil's ship. This was about a tropical island. The island seemed large and the shore looked desolate. They returned the small sampan and personal weapons on the Prince, of course not including firearms. Holding the guy in his hand made everyone feel a little relieved, but why we were the only ones who got off the boat? After we all went to the island, they dragged the Prince away. Is this considered exile? Forget it, this is already very kind than pirates asking everyone to jump on wooden boards to feed the sharks.
The third day on the island.
Everyone agreed that this big island is Devil's Island, and it must be the place where the devil's ship set sail, because the natives here are all devils. Yesterday, Benson, Jason and the nine people who went out to find fresh water and food came back with them, and only one of them was scared. After he came back, he repeatedly shouted "Eat people."
It was not until the large army went out to find the place when they died that everyone understood why he said so. In the place where they died, a group of natives were having a cannibal feast. Oh my god, aren’t those who have opened their heads and drunk their brains? Their bodies were put on fire and barbecued, and both men, women, young and old were enjoying this feast.
This must be hell, this is what everyone thinks.
We picked up the courage to kill the group of man-cannibal devils, but there were also warriors among this group of man-there were three more people killed. Now there are only 126 people left on the island on the Prince. It’s strange that they just killed one person and couldn’t wait to open his head to drink the brain inside. This devil-only practice makes us feel trembling in the depths of our hearts.
I personally killed two cannibal devils, one of whom was only about ten years old - I couldn't help but kill him because he attacked me with a spear tied with sharp stones. When he was overturned by me, I found that I was going to kill him, the ten-year-old child was extremely calm, just like I was going to trim his beard. It was probably because he was the devil's child to do this. Others got the same answer after the war. None of the ogres here begged for mercy or shouted before death. Of course, they were not mute attacking and shouting in language we couldn't understand.
Anyway, we took back Benson, Jason and his body - although they were all incomplete and cooked, their bodies were buried with the three warriors in the battle. We had no more food and water, so we had to think of more ways to get some food back. I just don't know how many devils there are on this island?
The seventh day on the island.
We found water and a small amount of food. But we were wrong, wrong. Because there were all devils on this island except for the 81 people we survived. Lord, I admit that I am guilty, but I don’t have to punish us like this.
These cannibal devils attacked us day and night, either sneak attacks or forcefully, and used their simple weapons to capture several people - or food - every time. We have tried our best to concentrate, and there are people keep watch every day and night, but this attack has never been interrupted.
Sometimes we will take revenge. In a pursuit two days ago, we found a cannibal demon, and the bones here piled up into a hill. One hundred and eight of us rushed into this devil village with more than 100 people and killed them cleanly - our weapons were sharper than them, our hatred was stronger than them, but we also suffered casualties. Afterwards, we counted the Prince's sailors and soldiers, and only 92 were left.
As you can see, I used the word "they" above because some young women cannibals were not killed. They were caught by us, and from South America, the crew members were already thirsty, and after they had enough water and some food, they couldn't wait to vent.
But we were wrong again. The cannibals here are far more tyrannical than the natives in South America, although there is no difference in physical structure after we repeatedly observe. Four young men were hit on their heads with stones by the remaining female devil in the middle of the night. When they discovered it, they were drinking the brains of those young men.
Maybe they were revenge for this cannibal tribe, or maybe they were just hungry. But in this way, we could only kill them. Oh my God, what should we do if we don’t have women? Because when we think of this, we did not kill them very much, but tied them to pillars and sealed their mouths for most of the time to ensure the absolute safety of their young men - one of the four young men who died that day was bitten off his throat.
There is arable land in the village, not much, and there are fishing boats. According to me, it is not as good as the small sampans we left on the shore. Anyway, they cannot get out of the far sea. The demons of this man-eating tribe also raise a small number of pigs and sheep, but for some reason, they still like to eat people.
The fifteenth day of getting ashore.
The burial of Benson and Jason is meaningless. They knew that they should have been buried in water because their bodies were dug out and eaten by these cannibal devils, including those cannibal devils who were killed and buried together by us. They did not even let go of their bodies of their own kind.
The small sampan we left on the shore has been stolen, damn it. We don’t even know who did it. It has been hidden, but it is still gone now.
There are only 68 survivors of the Prince. These days we have a village behind and are still fighting. At night, a group of cannibal devils will rush into the small village from the darkness. I dare say that we have killed more cannibal devils these days, but they don’t seem to know what fear means. We are really afraid at that time, but here, we either kill those cannibal devils or be killed.
Another point is that most of the cannibal devils that were killed by us were snatched back by themselves. Now we know that they are going to eat their companions. As long as they die, they don’t care whether they are brothers or sons, and they will smash their heads with stones as soon as possible.
The thirty day after getting ashore.
This is the last time I took the captain’s notes, because the ink is almost used up, and there is no concept of text here anyway. I don’t know who I am writing for, maybe it’s just me. Maybe it’s really the existence of the Lord, and I wrote for the Lord.
It is worth recording that ten days ago, the remaining 59 people collectively held their last prayer, and then we put the slain devils and our dead brothers who attacked our cannibal tribe last night on the fire to cook. We also used the cannibal devils to knock open their heads with stones to suck the tender brains inside - before that we still felt a little guilty.
Sure enough, the brain smelled the best, and then we had no guilt after that. We shared this feast with the surviving local cannibal women in the village - through this time, they accepted our XX without reservation. Although they were speechless, we formed a new village. Here we will farm, fish, breed and hunt - of course hunting for other villages.
Yes, from that day on we became the cannibal devil.
Chapter completed!
