"It's a problem." Wang Luobin touched his chin. Li Haiping volunteered in Changhua and the news of a happy life from the left-behind staff on the radio made him ignore it for a while.
Chen Haiyang also said, "It's really hard to say what kind of fortresses will become if ordinary time-traversing troops are to be stationed there for a long time. Professional soldiers rely on faith-" He didn't finish his words. Professional soldiers are to protect themselves.
Jiaweiguo, what are these otakus doing?
For the sake of three wives and four concubines, they guarded the thousands of miles of sea territory that crossed the regime!
Fighting on the industrial front to raise lolita!
We must liberate lolita all over the world!
Hold high the great banner of Loli!
This chaotic scene made Wang Luobin feel seriously uncomfortable, and he quickly shook his head. It seems that national justice, democracy and freedom cannot be thrown away. It is not an option for the Chuanchuan Group to always advocate the supremacy of interests. It is lacking at the critical moment.
The name of righteousness has been established. It is still very important to make people shed blood and sacrifice.
"This matter is indeed difficult to handle." Wang Luobin sat down. Places like Yulin Fort and Changhua Fort were different from Guangzhou Station. It was a big city after all. He collected information and did business every day, and lived a fulfilling life.
Moreover, the intelligence station has a group of indigenous personnel with them as the core, which means that every time traveler is acting like a big boss. Although the enjoyment of life is 17th century style, it is much better than the life of Lingaozhong.
Let a few people and a group of indigenous subordinates be stationed alone on the deserted coast for a long time, eating dry food from the grassland series, drinking water processed by water purification tablets, and even defecating in the original ecological world where the sky is high and the clouds are clear.
――Even the most powerful travel enthusiast cannot last a few days with this kind of enjoyment.
"Based on your professional experience, how long do you think people can last in such an environment? How often do you need to rotate personnel?"
“How many modern amenities are available?”
"It should be said that there is nothing except a radio station." Wang Luobin said, "If you have nothing to do, you can crank a generator and light a light bulb and use an African poverty alleviation notebook. Of course, food, medicine, books and other things can still be used.
Fully guaranteed.”
"About a month. If the local public security is not good, there are pirates every day, and we often have to defend our homeland, I'm afraid I won't be able to last even half a month."
Jiang Qiuyan said: "There is one more thing that I think you may not have thought about. We also have several enemies now. The enemies without exception all have strong maritime power. If we know that we have set up some weapons in these places,
Trading strongholds, it would be easy for them to capture Yulin Fort or Changhua Fort with their capabilities. Whether the crossing troops are killed or captured, it will be a huge blow to the entire group."
"you mean?"
"Just keep the natives here, and it's best not to have too much military overtones." Jiang Qiuyan said, "It's just a village, a warehouse."
Chen Haiyang frowned: "Only send the navy to guard?"
Jiang Qiuyan smiled: "There is no need for sailors. Just settle down with seven or eight families." He pointed to the surrounding area, "There are mountains and water here. Although we can't grow rice, we can cultivate a few acres of slope land to grow some vegetables and sweet potatoes, and we can basically support ourselves at the head office.
Right? We will provide them with food on time. Let Lin Quan'an take care of the government procedures. It's not necessarily wrong to use money to open a road. Then give the villagers some arms and organize a militia that can deal with sporadic pirates and bandits.
The task of the villagers is to collect the resources designated by us every day, and then our ships will transport them regularly. Depending on the amount paid, we can also give some rewards or something - "
Chen Haiyang patted him on the shoulder: "I didn't expect that a doctor like you is also a civil affairs talent!"
"However, such an immigrant village lacks force protection. Once a large group of pirates attack, they will definitely be doomed." Wang Tao expressed concern about this.
"So what, isn't it just seven or eight families of indigenous people who will be killed? Now the Central Plains is full of refugees, how many people we want is not a question of how many people we are willing to accept. If one village is destroyed, then another village will be moved over. At worst, the original seven or eight families will be replaced.
, now there are twenty households immigrated.”
"You are so cruel."
"Be cruel, sister, no one of us can pretend to be a gentleman. We are so good to the indigenous people. Why do we have such stupid humanistic care? Aren't we just asking the indigenous people to work for their lives?" He sighed, "We are so kind to the indigenous people who are about to starve to death on the streets.
For the ordinary people who were sent to this land of blue sea and silver sand, they had a roof over their head, a place for their feet, they could not freeze to death, and they could still eat a few full meals in peace, even if they were really killed by pirates.
It’s worth it.”
"But you have to know that once people's hearts wander, immigrants are unreliable." Wang Tao said, "Pirates rarely come and you don't talk about them. What if pirates come often? Fighting every day will cause casualties. The people who travel through it can't bear it, and so can the immigrants.
No, if we move somewhere else, who should we look for?"
"I don't think people in this era are so fragile. As long as they believe this is their home, they will bleed and die for it."
Wang Luobin said: "This sounds quite reasonable, but I am not familiar with the civil affairs side. Let's go back and see what Wu De and Lao Wen have to say. For now, let's build this fortress first."
The construction of Yulin Fort took a little more work, but with all the tools they brought, it was completed quickly. During this period, all the people in the fleet, as long as they were not building houses, were mobilized to pick coconuts. The wild coconuts here
There are so many forests, and there are coconuts to pick everywhere. Many mature coconuts even simply fall under the trees and no one cares about them.
"Treasure land, really a treasure land!" Bai Guoshi was very excited. Coconuts, a large number of coconuts, were just thrown on the ground without anyone paying attention. Lingaozhong was thinking hard every day to get these useful fruits. Coconut dried merchants in Qiongshan County
, you are really a bunch of profiteers wasting resources. He cursed secretly in his heart.
Before he could vent his emotions, someone was already peeling coconuts with knives and making holes to drink coconut water. Under the southern sea breeze, there was a beach on one side, blue and completely pollution-free sea water, plus this
Many people are already intoxicated by the sweet coconut juice.
"Why is there no water in this coconut?" Wang Tao chopped several of them but didn't get any coconut juice.
"Nonsense, everything that falls on the ground is ripe. If you want to drink coconut juice, you have to pick the ones that are tender."
"There are a lot of coconuts, how do you pick them?" Wang Tao looked up at the tall coconut trees and was intimidated. "Don't ask me to climb up, I'm afraid of heights -"
"How about taking off the throwing rope on the boat, throwing it up and climbing up again?"
"I think it's better to get a ladder -"
Bai Guoshi had a better idea and asked everyone to cut long bamboo poles and then tie a hook knife to the top of the bamboo pole.
He demonstrated the technique of harvesting coconuts with bamboo poles, and then solemnly stated: "Attention, be sure to wear a safety helmet or--"
Before he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound, and someone screamed. Everyone looked around and saw that someone had been hit in the head by a coconut, which was "heroic" on the spot.
Needless to say, everyone dispersed in a hurry and rushed back to the boat to find their rattan helmets. The "martyr" was carried back to the boat and was diagnosed with a mild concussion and a big bag. Fortunately, the result was still there.
Xiao, this person wore a straw hat to cushion the blow a little, so his skull was not smashed.
Everyone was a little clumsy in using the bamboo pole hook knife, but fortunately there were more people, more strength, and there was a steady stream of coconut juice to drink. Wang Luobin found a sailor who was good at breaking coconuts to break coconuts nearby to provide refreshing supplies at any time.
Drinks. After a busy afternoon, I collected no less than 3,000 coconuts and piled them next to the temporary trestle.
In the evening, everyone stopped working, and most people camped on the shore. Only a few people were left on the boat. Because of a tiring day, almost everyone fell into a sweet sleep except for the evening watch who was ordered to rest during the day.
Under the splendid starry sky, the sea was vast and vast, and the fires of the warning posts on the shore and the duty lights on the ships were shining together, making it look very peaceful. Someone couldn't bear the loneliness and sang a song about the night of the military port with a broken gong voice.
"The night at the military port is so quiet -"
"Shut up, you country bumpkin!" As the person who was woken up yelled, the voice of the 21st century singer fell silent, leaving only the sound of snoring accompanying the waves.
A dark figure quietly appeared from the stern of the Hangzhou. He quietly glanced at the sentry on the deck - there should be another one on the top of the mast, but he couldn't see it. He waited quietly for a while, quietly.
He climbed down from the bow of the ship along the anchor rope into the sea. His movements were agile, making almost no splash or sound.
After a while, a black shadow emerged from the waves at the stern of the Zhenhai and quietly approached the stern. He looked at the coast and the perspective of the sentry on the ship to make sure that he was in a blind spot and took off something from his body.
, and threw it up.
There was a slight muffled sound on the hull of the ship. The black shadow quickly retracted itself into the shadow of the ship, and waited quietly for a moment to make sure that no one noticed the sound, and then resurfaced, clinging to something.
He jumped up lightly and climbed up quickly.
The shadow climbed on the wall of the ship, seeming to be fiddling with something. It took him a lot of time, but he finally succeeded. A gap appeared on the wall of the ship, and the shadow quickly got in.
The inside of the hull was pitch black. The cold moonlight shone in through the portholes, illuminating the inside a little. This wet black figure was wearing a fish skin suit, which was very close-fitting, from the protruding chest and obvious waist-to-hip ratio.
It was obvious at a glance that this sneaky black figure was a woman—the only woman in the fleet. Li Chun pretended to be Li Huamei.
She took a breath and quickly closed the porthole. These Australian guys have an extraordinary eye for details, and there was no guarantee that anyone would notice that the porthole was open - she knew that according to their extremely complicated rules and regulations, this porthole had to be lowered.
The strangely large windmill leaves must be closed at all times.
Li Huamei has been observing the entire sailing process for a long time, and she has figured out one thing: the reason why the ship can move by itself without sails or oars is that the short hair will sink a pair of iron windmill leaves into the sea when needed.
, then the ship will vibrate regularly, and the ship will be able to move on its own. What exactly is this windmill leaf and what strange mechanism is it connected to? This is what Li Huamei is eager to know - if possible, she also wants to get this
Secret. Being able to sail without relying on wind power contained huge profits. As a captain, she was fully aware of it.
Australian cannons, navigational instruments and this windmill leaf. With these three things, wouldn't I and my lady be the overlords across the world? Not to mention, with the windmill leaf, we can choose the angle of bombardment at will. This vast
Who else is their opponent on the sea? This group of strange people, with such good things, are willing to build houses and build roads in a remote place like Lingao! Li Huamei felt incredible again.
Although they had exchanged a lot of things with each other during the past few days of sailing, she had never been allowed to enter this secret cabin just below the poop deck. At any time, the door to the cabin was locked, and there were even guards at the door.
The room was very tightly guarded by Shorthair. Even at night, there were people guarding it 24 hours a day. She didn't even dare to make one more attempt to get close.
Tonight is a good opportunity. Most people have landed, and there are very few people left on each ship. Li Huamei excused herself to go back to her own ship for a visit, and stayed on the Hangzhou that night to further reduce the vigilance of the shorthairs, so she sneaked in in the middle of the night.
.
She calmed down, took out a bamboo tube from the waterproof leather bag at her waist, and pulled it out. The dark cabin suddenly became bright, and a fire stick ignited. She quickly took out a small oil lamp with a sharp beak from the leather bag.
When it is lit, although the entire cabin is indistinct, the contents inside can generally be seen.
I saw two black steel objects in the cabin that spanned the entire deck. Each was the size of a small box, square, but the corners were a little uneven. If I looked closer, I could see that there were various kinds of metal objects with different shapes on them.
The small iron parts also had an iron wheel with a belt wrapped around it. It gave off a strong smell. Li Huamei touched it lightly with her fingers, and her fingers were covered with black grease. She quickly wiped them on the bulkhead.
The two black iron lumps were firmly fixed on the base, and a lot of black oil dripped from them. It was everywhere on the cabin deck and looked very dirty.
These two iron mechanisms should be the mechanisms that make the ship move by itself. But she was slightly disappointed because she really couldn't see how these iron mechanisms drove the ship forward. When she got closer and took a closer look, she found two iron couplings.
In fact, it is not black. The cover-like area on the top is red, but it has been blackened by the oil smoke. If you look closely, you can see two characters "Chang Chai" in the shadow.
Chang Chai? She wondered for a long time what these two words meant. Chai was often used, and firewood was used? But she didn’t see the shorthairs piling firewood on the boat.
There is also a round lid on the red top cover. Li Huamei tried to pull it, but it didn't move. He twisted it again, but it came loose. When he unscrewed it, he saw that the dark inside seemed to be filled with stuff.
What kind of water? But the smell was overwhelming. She took out a piece of paper media and dipped some into it. When she took it out, it felt like oil.
