- The battleship slowly sailed back to the bay. Along the way, the soldiers in the escort were laughing and celebrating this success with great excitement. They had experienced Wu Yiping's skills countless times, and today's weapons test made them even more aware of Wu Yiping's abilities. The magic. They were all happy to have such a powerful president.
However, there was still one person on the battleship who was not happy, and that was Carlos. He was worried now. He felt that he could not understand Wu Yiping more and more. At first, he just thought that he just had a little power and good luck, so he He captured himself; but after staying here for almost two months, as he gradually understood more and everything he saw in his eyes, he felt that Wu Yiping was very extraordinary. If nothing else, the organization of the Federation was Carlos felt Wu Yiping's ambition.
Today, he personally experienced the power of the Dafeng and participated in the weapons test, which made him feel that Wu Yiping was very scary
"Let's go! We've reached the shore, let's go back." Wu Yiping looked at Carlos who was absent-minded and decided to give him some more information, so he asked gently: "By the way, do you know Bunuco?"
"Ah! Who?" Carlos couldn't keep up with Wu Yiping's leaping thinking. It took him a long time to realize: "Oh! You mean Governor Bunuco? Of course I know him."
Having said this, Carlos has woken up from the shock just now and has become energetic. He really wanted to ask Governor Bunuco if he was willing to pay to redeem him, but considering that he was still in Wu Yiping's hands, he finally held back.
"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news" Seeing the excitement and anticipation on Carlos's face, Wu Yiping decided to tease him a little more, and continued with a smile: "Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Which one?" Carlos thought in his heart: "If you, the devil, are willing to let me go back, that would be the best news" However, he did not dare to say it, but hesitated for a long time before saying. : "Let's hear the good news first."
"The good news is" Wu Yiping stopped mid-sentence and said nothing after Carlos's face turned red. "Your Governor Bunuco already knew that you were captured by me. .¡±
After hearing this, Carlos's eyes suddenly lit up. He felt that hope was in front of him. Before he thought about it, no matter how much hatred they had, it was their internal matter, and Bunuco should redeem him first. . Then solve the internal problems.
"Alas!" Wu Yiping sighed softly, as if Carlos was about to leave him. Carlos was elated when he heard this, and then he said calmly: "Seeing how happy you are, I can't bear it. It's a blow to you, but I still want to tell you the bad news; that is, although your Governor Bunuco knew that you were captured by me, he did not mention the matter of ransoming you. Instead, he wrote a letter to you. King, it is full of your foolish and arrogant language that has led to the capture of thousands of Dutch people I think that now this letter has reached the hands of your king, and your power in your country may "
"What?" Carlos, who had shown a happy expression just now, was stunned. His mouth was wide enough to stuff a few eggs. His face turned pale at first, and then suddenly turned red. He shouted angrily: "Impossible. This is not true, this is not true, you are a liar, you are lying to me"
Wu Yiping ignored the sudden madness of Carlos; instead, he quickly walked to the village. After a busy day, Wu Yiping was already hungry. What he missed most now was the food cooked by Lu Chuxue. Looking at the faint firelight in the village, Wu Yiping's lips were filled with smiles, and he thought to himself: "I believe many people will have insomnia tonight"
Not far from Wu Yiping is the residence of Carlos's family, but now Carlos has been in a state of trance and feels very decadent, as if he has aged more than ten years.
His wife Carol looked at Carlos's current state and was shocked, thinking: "What's going on? Could it be that the president gave Carlos another problem? You know, even when he was captured Didn't you see him so absent-minded?" She immediately put down what she was doing, walked behind Carlos, and while massaging Carlos' head, she asked softly:
"Darling! What happened to you today? Did something happen to you? Don't scare us!"
Hearing Carol¡¯s words, Carlos finally had some reaction. He was in a daze for a long time, then turned around and said to Carol:
"Dear! Do you think there is really a God in this world? If there is, then should God always protect us?"
"Oh! Darling, what happened to you today? Haven't you always been a devout believer? How could you say such heretical words today?"
"Haha!" CarloSi smiled bitterly and continued:
"Because I feel like I saw Zoya's Ark today, as well as very magical and powerful weapons, but these are all in the hands of a yellow man! Do you think God has abandoned us?"
"Ah!" Carol covered her mouth. As Carlos's wife, Carol was also a devout believer. She screamed in surprise, and then immediately lowered her voice and said:
"Is there really Ruoya's Ark? Is the yellow man you are talking about the Wu? Are you sure that is Ruoya's Ark?"
Calost closed his eyes and thought for a moment and said:
"I don't know if it is Zoya's Ark. I only know that the warship is made of steel. It is huge and powerful. Even if I search all over the Netherlands, I can't find a more powerful warship than her."
"Ah!" Carol screamed again said in horror: "How is it possible? How could he have such a powerful battleship? And it is still in the hands of that yellow man?"
"Dear" Carlos turned around and stared into her eyes seriously: "Dear, look into my eyes everything I just said is true. I really saw a ship. It¡¯s an extremely powerful battleship, and I stayed on that battleship for half a day.¡±
"Then what should we do?" Carol said in a panic: "Should we find a way to spread the news?"
"Spread the news??" Carlos looked at her in disbelief. "DearI think your IQ has been low recently. Do you think we can get the news out?"
At this point, Carlos said dejectedly: "Just think about it, we are now the prisoners of that man, it would be great if we could survive! And I have another bad news to tell you, that is, Governor Bunuco is ruthlessly killing people behind his back." He stabbed me, and he wrote to our king about the capture of the fleet I led. Think about it Once such news is spread back to the country, our family, which has been deeply suppressed, can continue. Can it be maintained?"
Having said this, Carlos stared at the ceiling aimlessly, and continued for a long time: "We have been abandoned. To be honest, I am very disappointed with the current Netherlands. We used to be sea coachmen, and the sea is ours. Home. No one can compare. But now our country has lost the spirit of bravery and hard work. Most people have been corrupted by the feasting and entertainment. There are more and more people who are useless and villains. We keep going downhill. And going faster and faster.
Let¡¯s take the new Governor Bunuco as an example! He is a complete idiot, a villain who rose to power by relying on connections and frame-up. Among our nobles, he is not the only one, but the majority. You say this is how it goes. Can our empire continue to be strong? "After saying this, Carlos suddenly became energetic, as if he had made a serious decision, and said with a solemn face:
"I decided, I don't care whether his ship is Zoya's Ark or not, I will keep watching him, because I have an intuition that this General Wu is the biggest enemy of our empire, and he is likely to let us The Dutch Empire was in dire straits.
Didn¡¯t he say that our daughter Audreysha was beautiful that day? Then I will let our daughter work with him. With our daughter's proficiency in shorthand, language talent higher than mine, and her beauty, she will be put to good use sooner or later by his side. "
The more Carlos talked, the more he thought it was a good idea, and his eyes became brighter. Then he continued excitedly:
"Although Lisa can't change his decision, she can influence him slowly and subtly. She can change his decision unknowingly and make him treat our Dutch people better in the future. After all, I am older and have already followed Not much longer."
"Are you crazy?" After Carol heard her husband's words, she yelled again and angrily yelled at her husband: "How could you put our daughter next to that man?? What are you doing? Our daughter was pushed into the fire pit!!"
"Keep your voice down" Caloust quickly covered Carol's mouth and whispered:
"I'm not crazy. Think about it. He let me see his giant ship today, and he even let me know that the entire warship is made of steel and uses a new type of steel that we can't even imagine. Method to sail quickly. This is a great secret to everyone, but he let us know it easily. Why do you think this is? You think it is possible for our family to escape his control alive. ?"
"Furthermore, the identity of our current captive, and the fact that Lisa is so beautiful, will bring us huge trouble sooner or later. Rather than letting Lisa be bullied by other ordinary people, it is better to put her next to this person. This way Not only can we avoid a lot of trouble, but it can also make our lives better.¡±
¡°Besides?The current power is not very big, and I am taking the initiative to help him. In the words of the Chinese, it is a timely help. As long as Audreysha can help him sincerely, we will not only be able to escape the status of captives, I believe we can also transcend. The better! . "
Carol looked at Caloust with tears in her eyes and said, "My dear, have you really decided? Do you think Audrey Sha will agree?"
"Don't worry! Lisa is a sensible child. You go call her over and I'll talk to her."
??????????????????????????
Wu Yiping, who was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, didn¡¯t know that a white father was doing a pimp-like job, helping him find women! ! !
Wu Yiping got up with dark circles under his eyes after a night of excitement. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Carlos, who also had dark circles under his eyes, milling around at his door. Before Wu Yiping could say hello to him, Carlos had already said in a hurry:
"My President, I think it is necessary for you to let my daughter Audreysha work with you. I have a daughter who is proficient in shorthand and proficient in multiple languages, and I have been training her in aristocratic etiquette, so that She can bring you a lot of convenience by following you"
"Ah! What?? You want your daughter to work with me. Are you sure you don't have a fever now?"
Wu Yiping thought in his heart: "Aren't you pushing your daughter into the fire pit? Bah! I'm not a fire pit, I'm a good person. Md. Is this old white man suffering from Alzheimer's disease?"
"My Lord Governor, I am sober now, and this is our family's decision. Listen to me, my daughter is fluent in English, Spanish, French, and even Arabic, Inca and Chinese. How is it? Not a real linguistic genius?¡±
Having said this, Kalost smiled triumphantly and continued:
"My Lord Governor, our family sincerely wants to take refuge with you. As long as you agree to let my daughter work with you, I swear that our family will be loyal to you from now on! There will be no second thoughts."
Wu Yiping, who was washing his face with a towel, looked at Kalost, then at Audreysha, and then at Lu Chuxue, who was looking ugly at the side. Finally figured it out.
"I'm afraid that Carlos knows that he will not let him leave him alive, and that he has now been abandoned by his own country. At the same time, he sees that he has a warship like the Dafeng, so he hastened to express his sincerity, so that he can I can live a better life here."
"I used to think that this Calouste was an ignorant and dandy nobleman, but I was wrong. He is a master who is well versed in politics!"
After thinking about it, Wu Yiping calmly finished washing his face. said:
"Now that you have thought it through, let her follow me!"
"Thank you, my President, Lisa, come quickly and say hello to the President!"
"President, good morning!" Audreysha's Chinese is better than his father's, and he speaks very crisply and is very comfortable to listen to.
Just as Wu Yiping was feeling refreshed, Zhang Yunshan, the liaison officer, suddenly ran out, walked to his ear and whispered in his ear: "President."
"Huh?" Wu Yiping looked at Zhang Yunshan, who had a deep expression on his face, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Carlos was very discerning and knew that they must have something important to discuss, so he took his daughter, said hello and left in a hurry.
When they were far away, Zhang Yunshan reported: "I just received the news from Gong Ping. The Dutch in Keelung have made some changes. They are replenishing supplies and elixirs for all sail warships. Gong Ping analyzed the information he received and believed that This time the Dutch will send out fifty warships, divide their forces into three locations, and succeed in one fell swoop. The main targets are Lotus City and Shoufeng City, and we are the secondary targets. According to preliminary judgment, their action time is April 27th. , that is, four days later.¡±
"Fifty sail warships? Secondary target?" Wu Yiping frowned fiercely. He said softly: "Last time, Gong Ping sent news that the new governor is an impatient guy and may soon take action against several forces in the northern part of the island. I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Wu Yiping understood that what he had to face this time was no longer free and loose bandits and pirates. It is the well-prepared regular Dutch army fifty sailing battleships. In addition to sailors and artillerymen, each battleship can also carry more than 500 marines, so that more than 25,000 people can be dispatched at one time. ; Even if it is regarded as a secondary target, with Carlos's lessons learned, there will definitely be about ten warships coming to attack Dafeng Village, and that is more than 5,000 fully armed enemies.
"I asked Changde soldiers to step up production and make a fire appointment" After Carlos arrived, Wu Yiping knew that he would have another fight with the Dutch soon.Numerous battle plans had been made a long time ago, so Wu Yiping calmed down quickly after hearing the news. As he walked towards the conference room of the training base, he asked Zhang Yunshan: "How many reserves do you have now?"
"There are about 200 kilograms of reserves now." Zhang Yunshan followed closely behind him and whispered: "The No. 3 mine is also stepping up production. However, because the cast iron shells cannot overlap well and need to be polished by hand, the output is very low. , there are only thirty in the base now."
"How is the training of the five sailing warships going?"
"Three ships are fully equipped with sailors and can sail normally, but it will take longer to train in order to form a battle formation." Zhang Yunshan, as Wu Yiping's military liaison, has already memorized these situations by heart. , he paused and continued: "Our population is still too small. After the escort marine personnel expanded to 4,000 people, there were no idle people in the entire association, so we only had sailors from three warships. .¡±
Hearing this, Wu Yiping couldn't help but smile bitterly, and grabbed his head with one hand, hard enough to pull out all his hair. I thought silently in my heart:
"The power is still not enough! The current federation is like a newly born lion cub. Although it is working hard to grow up, the wolves, tigers and leopards in the distance have already discovered it. If it cannot stand up in a short time to welcome it Yes, there is only death.
"And I can't escape now. The federation has just been formed and needs confidence. The soldiers of the escort also need actual combat to test their training results. The five battleships captured last time require population and time for training. Therefore, this battle must be fought and must be won.
Wu Yiping came to the back mountain with a lot of worries and entered the training base under the admiring eyes of the guards. After the last show of strength, the new and old soldiers have been completely integrated together, training and polishing desperately.
??????????????????????????????????????????
"This is the situation, there are still four days" Under the influence of Wu Yiping, his men all learned a bad habit, which is smoking. They wrapped the chopped tobacco leaves in paper, held them in their mouths and swallowed them happily. The whole conference room was full of smoke and smoke. Wu Yiping couldn't help but flash his hand before continuing: "Since their governor Buonuco will not go out personally, but will sit in Keelung, I plan to use No. 2 Develop a combat plan to deal with it. Zhang Yunshan, please read the No. 2 combat plan to everyone."
"Yes!" Zhang Yunshan stood up with a snap, opened a folder, and read:
" Regarding a regiment led by Liang Yong and Luo Hu, with a total of 2,800 people defending Dafeng Village. If necessary, Dutch prisoners can be used as hostages to buy time . Chairman Wu Yiping personally led the Dafeng and the directly affiliated Sharp Knife 1st and 2nd Battalions, a total of 1,200 people. They used the speed and large load capacity of the Dafeng battleship to sneak attack on Keelung City and strive to capture Bunuco .at last"
"Do you understand everything?" Wu Yiping waved his hand for Zhang Yunshan to sit down and continued: "Do you have any comments?"
Liang Yong, Luo Hu and others who were sitting below looked at each other and collectively shook their heads.
Seeing that there was no doubt, Wu Yiping stood up and finally said loudly: "Okay! Since there is no objection, let's prepare ourselves. This time we will teach the Dutch a profound lesson. The meeting is over"
