This is the navy's general's drum. Anyone who hears it must immediately go to the deck to assemble.
In the navy camp, the drum will usually be beaten only when pirates appear.
Since the Maolang Island pirates were wiped out, no pirates have dared to come around the dock for a long time. Now that the drum is ringing again, something big must have happened!
The guard and Lao Zhang didn't care about chatting anymore, turned around and ran towards the deck.
Lao Zhang didn't even take off his apron.
When the two rushed to the deck, Shui Wa pulled Shen Xiuxiu and ran over.
"Shui Wa, Xiu Xiu, you must obey orders on the boat. I have to leave beforehand!"
The guard rushed to Shui Wa and hurriedly explained. Without waiting for Shui Wa's reply, he rushed to the side of the deck, slid down the rope to the speedboat, and ran away.
He is Zheng Chiyuan's personal guard and does not belong to the establishment of this ship. He must rush back to his base camp before the third drum is sounded.
"Brother Shui Wa, what should we do?" Shen Xiuxiu held Shui Wa's hand nervously: "Are we leaving?"
In fact, this was Shui Wa's first time encountering this kind of situation, but Shen Xiuxiu called him Shui Wa brother. If he panicked, wouldn't it show his cowardice?
Thinking of this, Shui Wa calmed down, squeezed Shen Xiuxiu's little hand, and explained: "We are now on the No. 7 battleship, so we have to stay with the No. 7 battleship and cannot leave casually... But you don't either.
Worry, I’ll take care of everything!”
"Uh-huh!"
Shen Xiuxiu nodded obediently, holding Shui Wa's hand tighter, staring at the captain standing in front of the deck with her big eyes, nervous and curious.
The navy has now also reorganized its organization after following the example of the escort division. The captain is a naval battalion commander, who is standing at the front of the deck.
There is also an incense burner next to the captain, which lights special incense.
This kind of incense is different from the incense burned in temples. It burns very quickly. There are three lines drawn in the middle. Every time a line is burned, the drum will be beaten once.
Anyone who has not come to gather after three drum beats will be severely punished!
It was only the second time I knocked, and basically all the navy soldiers on the entire ship had arrived. Those who were training in the water also swam frantically to the side of the ship, and then pulled the ropes to climb to the deck.
After boarding the boat, they had no time to get dressed, so they only wore a pair of shorts and stood in the middle of the queue.
When the drum sounded for the third time, all the soldiers on the ship rushed to the deck.
Everyone looked at the captain with a serious face.
When the drum beat stopped, the captain shouted loudly: "Brothers, we just received news that the patrolling brothers discovered a group of pirates fifty miles away in the north. General Zheng has sent airships and speedboats to chase them. We ordered our Jinchuan
Supply ship for the speedboat!”
Upon hearing this, the navy soldiers turned their heads and looked north.
They had seen two airships taking off from the north before, and they also saw several speedboats heading north on the sea, but they didn't pay attention, thinking it was a routine drill.
Only now do I know that I was chasing pirates.
Airships and speedboats are both fast, but the biggest problem is their insufficient endurance, so other ships must be arranged to deliver supplies.
The battleship Shui Wa was on was one of the two steamships allocated to the Navy by Jin Feng, and was named Jinchuan. The other one was named Guangyuan.

When Tang Xiaobei first heard the name, he still laughed and joked that if the Navy had a new building ship in the future, it would be called the Xihewan, or simply the Jinfeng.
The main task of the Jinchuan is to patrol between Maolang Island and the dock. Because it has a power engine, it is also responsible for rapid response.
If an emergency occurs, the Jinchuan must act quickly and rush to the battlefield as soon as possible to provide supplies for speedboats and airships.
Therefore, a large amount of ammunition and kerosene were always stored on the Jinchuan.
Most of the navy soldiers come from the coast of the East China Sea. In recent years, pirates have been raging, and almost all navy soldiers have a bloody feud with the pirates.
As soon as the captain finished speaking, uniform shouts of death rang out on the deck!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"very good!"
The captain nodded with satisfaction and shouted loudly: "Everyone is on his way, let's set off immediately!"
"Disband!"
The deputy captain clapped his hands, and the navy soldiers immediately dispersed and rushed to their respective posts.
A moment later, the Jinchuan was spewing thick black smoke and turned on its maximum horsepower to accelerate.
Everyone was busy, even the cook Lao Zhang ran to the boiler room to help. Only Shui Wa and Shen Xiuxiu stood on the deck blankly.
One of them has just arrived on the Jinchuan, and the other has only arrived a few days ago. There is not even a squad leader in charge of them, let alone what to do.
Shui Wa scratched his head and was about to find something to do, but found that Shen Xiuxiu let go of his hand and ran towards the captain standing at the edge of the deck.
Shui Wa pulled for a while but didn't stop, so she had no choice but to follow.
Shen Xiuxiu, who had been timid just now, rushed straight to the captain and asked expectantly: "Captain, have you found the pirate who killed my father?"
When the guards sent Shen Xiuxiu to the ship, they specifically explained Shen Xiuxiu's affairs to the captain. In addition, the captain's tasks had already been assigned. Since he was relatively free now, he explained: "Miss Xiuxiu, I just received the notice.
They said they discovered pirates and asked us to arrest them. As for whether they were the group that killed your father, I don’t know."
"Then can we catch them?" Shen Xiuxiu asked.
"Definitely!" The captain nodded without hesitation.
Nowadays, the kelp on Maolang Island is the most important thing for Jin Feng and Zheng Chiyuan. This group of pirates killed Shen Xiuxiu's family, which means that they threaten the transportation route between Maolang Island and the dock. Zheng Chiyuan issued a death order and must eliminate the hidden dangers.
.
It is for this reason that the search and rescue team did not give up the search after finding Shen Xiuxiu.
It's just that the targets of their search this time were pirates.
The pirates who hijacked Shen Xiuxiu's family didn't know that kelp was edible, or they knew it, but the kelp on the boat was all fresh and they didn't have time to dry it, so when they left the Shen family's fishing boat, they didn't take the kelp with them, they just took it away
He bought various tools and daily necessities, including the clothes worn by the Shen family.
These things are not worth much. The pirates traveled all the way to Dakang and could not be satisfied with this small harvest. Therefore, Jin Feng and Zheng Chiyuan speculated that the pirates would not leave Dakang waters so quickly after committing a crime and would definitely continue to commit crimes.
Sure enough, the search and rescue team found traces of a group of pirates not far from the crime scene today.
This group of pirates had more than a dozen ships, but it was only an airship that discovered them. In order to prevent the pirates from disappearing, the airship did not attack immediately, but came back to report the news.
