Lin Fenghan saw the morale restored and the confident people smiled happily, and continued: "The light warships form our first front, and the second front is the battlefield equipped with our trebuchets. These warships escort our large In front of the battleship, we can prevent large battleships from being hit by enemy warships, and occasionally we can use large battleships to block artillery shells. The third front is our main battleship."
"We will discuss matters regarding naval operations here. Now, please mobilize our navy quickly."
Lin Fenghan said quickly: "Bonos, you quickly summon the navy captain, gunner, generals, and officers to learn new tactics and captain's responsibilities."
"Bonodong, please quickly take people to arrange the light warships for our assault, recruit the sailors of these light warships, check the various equipment of the warships, and prepare departure materials."
"Dean Ali, please quickly lead people to transport the artillery shells and help our main battleship install the 300mm No. 2 bronze cannon."
"Consul Motel, please quickly gather people and arrange burning materials, etc."
¡¡
"yes!"
"Um!"
"OK!"
Everyone quickly left with their respective tasks to prepare.
At about seven o¡¯clock in the morning on March 22, Weibus, the expedition general of Yuliwan City, quickly knocked on Viscount Yulari¡¯s door and walked in.
"General Weibus! Why do you want to see me so early?" Viscount Julari sighed and said tiredly as he took the water glass handed by the maid.
"Lord Viscount, the entire city of Cape Watch is now preparing for war mobilization. Especially the naval fleet in the nearby seaport. The entire navy has been mobilized. We can't waste time here and remain indifferent!" Weibus was unwilling to do anything. Looking at Viscount Julali, he said.
Julali's fat body paused, and he looked at Weibus with some anger and grievance, and said in a low voice: "But the royal family and the Northern Noble Council united to push us out. They did not allow us to join the naval battle. I can any idea?"
¡°Why can¡¯t we join?¡±
Weibus threw down his hat angrily, pointed at Viscount Julali's nose and said: "Your Excellency, Viscount, you have forgotten that our city was attacked by the Elantra army a few weeks ago. The super powerful bronze cannon of their navy is How to destroy our lighthouses. Break down our walls, have you forgotten how much of our property was destroyed by bronze cannons?"
"No!"
¡°I have never forgotten my previous shame!¡±
Viscount Julali angrily opened Weibus's arm, looked at Weibus with a red face and shouted: "That's why I invited my relatives and friends and recruited my vassals to come to the Southern Continent for revenge."
Weibus looked directly into Julali's eyes and said seriously: "But your Excellency, Viscount, do you think we can really take revenge with the strength of others? Suppose that after we defeat Yiliu Yun's troops this time, His Majesty the King or Bran The Duke and other lords are very interested in our property and land. They come with powerful bronze cannons. With these siege weapons, do you think we can defend our territory and city? Can we protect ours? Family and property? Can we keep our wealth and reputation?"
"cannot!"
"cannot!"
Weibus threw his arms loudly. Looking at Julali angrily, he said: "My distant cousin, you should sober up. Our troops came here to wash away the shame is only a small part of the reason. The more important purpose is to have this powerful weapon, which can Better guard our territory and property and attack all enemies who come."
"Now if we rely solely on land operations, it is impossible to obtain bronze cannons, a weapon with ancient technological power. Even if we continue to fight and gain more land, as long as the royal family and other lords with bronze cannons treat us a little bit, If we have bad intentions, our wealth and status will be in jeopardy. Such things often appear in novels and stories circulated in ancient times, and we must be vigilant."
Weibus clasped his fists and approached Viscount Julali and said seriously: "So we must participate in naval battles, we must mobilize the navy, we must defeat the captured Elant naval battleships, we must obtain bronze cannons, and we must research the ancient technology of bronze cannons. Secret, this is our ultimate purpose in coming to the Southern Continent."
Julali stood there in shock and thought, slowly calmed down, frowned and said: "Weibs, you are right, but the royal family and the northern nobles have clearly stated that they do not allow us to participate in naval battles. What should we do? ?We need them to help us get revenge, they have great righteousnessFame suppresses us and it is difficult for us to oppose their will. "
"Yeah?"
Weibus smiled mysteriously, laughed and said, "As you said, they made it clear that we are not allowed to participate in naval battles, but they did not allow our warships to escort us!"
"We are using escort as an excuse to mobilize more than 50 of our warships in Cape Watch City to go north to escort and transport supplies. Then when their fleet sets off, we will bring more than 20 transport merchant ships to quickly follow the departing fleet. , follow them closely, and after the naval battle is over, it will be easy to get a bronze cannon."
"ah!"
¡°What a great idea!¡±
Viscount Julali¡¯s eyes lit up, and he asked hesitantly: ¡°So after the fleet sets off, what should we do if they see our ships following them and ask us to turn around? We seem unable to resist their orders.¡±
"Ignore it!"
Weibus waved his hand ambitiously and said: "Your Excellency, Viscount, just as you need them to avenge us, and they also need us to help them transport logistics and fight together, you must know that we have dispatched more than 40,000 people of various types! Throughout the whole Nearly 40% of the troops in the army are our troops, and they need us more, so they will never fall out with us, nor will they exclude warships from destroying our warships, as long as we clearly tell them that they only need a bronze cannon as payment When we can help them, they have no choice but to let us follow us in the face of our complete fleet that has already gone to sea."
"good!"
"very good!"
¡°For the sake of my family, friends and our future, I will be a tough guy and resist them once.¡± Viscount Julari mustered up his courage. He patted Weibus on the shoulder with confidence and said.
"Ha ha!"
"good!"
Weibus held Viscount Julali's right hand tightly. Looking at each other, laughing.
It was around 7 in the morning in Hailan City, Elantra Islands. The captain of the ship, who had been discussing and studying for four or five hours with dark circles under his eyes, returned to the barracks of each unit tiredly, initiating and arranging various things, including matters about the Kamikaze Express. Spread in military camps and cities.
"No! Captain, I don't want to be a crew member of the Kamikaze Express. I'm still too young. I'm the only child in the family, and I have a mother who needs me to support me. I can't die!" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old with dark skin= The young black man, who was in his thirties or forties, waved quickly.
"Feili, you won't die." The captain in his thirties, who was dark-skinned and wearing a sailing hat, explained softly: "You only need to drive the ship close to the enemy, and then dive into the water while the fire is on. Our kamikaze will kill you." The fleet has been equipped with round life-saving planks. As long as you stay on the planks and swim towards our ship, you will live and you will definitely not die."
"No!"
"No!"
The young sailor Feili quickly shook his head and said: "Captain, please don't fool me. In a calm ocean, I might swim up to our battleship. But once we fall into the water in a violent storm, we sailors will almost certainly die. What's more, on the battlefield, On board, the warships of the king and those northern sailors may shoot arrows and throw spears at us who fall into the water. No matter how you calculate it, if you join this death squad, there is a nearly half chance of death. I am only 17 years old, and I really don¡¯t want to die!¡±
"This is an order issued by the Baron. Each ship must find at least one person to persist until it finally gets close to the enemy warship. There is nothing I can do. You are the most junior on our Kamikaze 4 Clipper, and the others are already married. Old man, I can¡¯t even open my mouth even if I¡¯m young!¡±
"ah!"
"I don't want to go. Anyway, I don't want to be a member of the death squad."
"you!"
The middle-aged captain glanced at the young man angrily, threw down his hat, pointed angrily at the young man's nose and said, "Feili, whether you go or not is not up to you."
"you!"
"You gang up on me, I'll tell my grandpa to go!"
The young sailor Philly had a sore nose and ran out of the navy camp in anger and pain. At the same time, among the many people who received the news, most of the sailors were very sad. Many people asked for leave or went directly to their families to explain their funeral arrangements. Among these people, there were also a very few brave sailors who stood up and shouldered their own responsibilities. Responsibility.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
"Come in!"
With red eyes, Lin Fenghan put down the naval formation diagram he was drawing in his hand and rubbed his eyes tiredly.
Vera said eagerly to Lin Fenghan: "The Baron is not good. Outside the city hall, many women and elderly people gathered together, clamoring to see you. We really can't stop you.Living. "
"Um?"
"what happened?"
Lin Fenghan put on his coat strangely and walked out, asking in confusion.
Vera lowered her head sadly and said: "They are all the family members of those who were selected or forcibly assigned to death squad tasks. Most of them want to come over and ask for an explanation. What should we do?"
"What?"
Lin Fenghan frowned and walked forward quickly.
Crunch!
The gate of the city hall castle slowly opened, and the two to three hundred people outside the city hall suddenly raised their hands and shouted.
"The Baron is here!"
"It's General Yiliuyun!"
"Baron, you have to help my child! He was bullied by his comrades, and you have to help him get justice!"
"Baron, my son is still young, and my grandson is just one year old. If you want him to be a member of the death squad, this family is broken. Please let him go and let him do other tasks!"
"Baron!"
¡¡
"Stop arguing! You guys say it one by one, you come first." Vera looked at the excited crowd, shouted quickly, pointed at a woman in her forties in front and said.
"I!"
The middle-aged woman looked sadly at Lin Fenghan, Vera and others five meters away, and cried out: "Baron, this is the case. My child Charlie is a sailor on the Kamikaze Express No. 7. He was a sailor on the Kamikaze Express No. 7 this morning. Assigned as a member of the death squad.¡±
"Wow! He is only nineteen years old! My grandson is only one year old! His father was seriously injured and died in the Battle of Waterdeep City. His brother was shot by a javelin in the Battle of Shenwood City and his arm was amputated. Now our family There is only one young labor force left in China. If I lose this young son, this family will really be finished."
"Woo!"
Everyone around him felt sad after hearing this and looked at the middle-aged woman with sympathy. Lin Fenghan felt sad in his heart, and a tear slowly appeared in the corner of his eyes. He took a few steps forward and supported the middle-aged woman. Lin Fenghan was moved and said: "Auntie, I will mobilize your child Charlie to leave the Kamikaze Express suicide squad member mission, and his job will be handed over to other suitable candidates. If your family encounters various troubles in the future, or If you need help, you can write directly to the local city hall, and we will generally agree to your request and try our best to help you."
Lin Fenghan raised his head and turned to look at the crowd with anxious and sad eyes. He raised his hand softly and explained: "The Kamikaze Express kamikaze death squad plan I made does not require the crew and cargo ship to be buried with them. With the blessing of the wind, our Clipper Fighting Ship , 200 meters close to the enemy. 100 meters, as long as the channel is accurate, you can jump into the water. Use the assistance of the round wooden lifebuoy to meet our ship, or wait for the rescue of the warship on the sea surface."
"And not all Kamikaze Express crew members need to join the kamikaze mission. Only one of them needs to be able to control the direction of the ship and light the flames to stay behind the ship. The others can jump into the water and leave after arriving at the battlefield and the ship is started. These Although the missions of the suicide squad members are far apart, the survival rate is more than 60%, and they will not really be completely sacrificed. On the contrary, the casualty rate and number of people staying on the battleship will exceed those of the suicide squad members who dive."
"Cough! Cough"
An old man with short hair and half white hair in his mid-fifties walked out of the crowd, looked at Lin Fenghan and said: "Sir Baron, actually you don't need to comfort us. We also know that our request makes you embarrassed, but the situation is indeed dangerous to participate in these activities." The soldiers on the mission are too young, and they bear too many responsibilities and expectations to be wasted in the sea. Even if there is danger, they are not suitable to participate in such a simple and difficult mission."
"As for the old man, although I am fifty-six years old this year, my body is still healthy. I can still drive the ship and control the wind direction, so please give me this dangerous task! Let my twenty-three-year-old son Go and do more meaningful things, he is still young, he still has development prospects, and he still needs to be responsible for the family, but I am already old, now let me make my final contribution to the family and the new society!"
"Baron, leave it to us!"
A short-haired old man in his sixties with a white beard raised his fist and shouted: "I am willing to replace my seventeen-year-old grandson as a member of the death squad and burn those aristocratic scum in the north to death!"
"Baron, I can also fire-maneuver a ship, let me take my son's place!" A strong woman in her fifties raised her fist loudly and shouted.
"Aunt Mary, how can you, a woman, go to sea to fight? Leave such matters to me! Your son is still young, and I am no longer useful in my sixties, so let me do it."
"I??! "
"I come!"
"Leave it to us old men!"
¡¡
Many very old men clenched their fists and shouted at Lin Fenghan.
Standing in front of more and more people, Lin Fenghan shed tears, wiped his eyes moved and said: "I understand everyone's feelings. In fact, I feel uncomfortable giving such a combat mission, but for our future, I must Do this, otherwise the number of people who will die will be far more than just these two hundred people."
"I am very touched by everyone who participated in the war. I allow sailors among you who can swim and are familiar with sailing operations to join the battle, and every member of the death squad will receive a cash reward of 100 silver coins regardless of victory or defeat. The Elantra government will not It would be a disservice to those brave people.¡±
"good!"
"Very good!"
"My grandson is saved."
"My son doesn't have to die."
"How nice of the Baron to fight on your behalf and pay so much money!"
"Long live General Yiliuyun!"
¡¡
"From now on, everyone who decides to join the kamikaze team must sign up at the door of the city hall!" Vera yelled Lin Fenghan's order with red eyes. Many older captains and sailors raised their flags to Vera. The flag and records table ran.
"Grandpa, don't join the death squad! We all want you to live a few more years!"
"Bastard boy, your cousin is also a member of the death squads. If I don't sign up to join, he will really die. What's more, I have a huge sum of 100 silver coins to join the death squads. With this money, even if I die Now, you little bastards can build a house and marry a good wife with this money. I will risk my life for you."
"Grandpa, we really don't want you to die! Not to mention 100 silver coins, even 1 million silver coins are not as valuable to us as you." A five or six-year-old bald child pulled a thin, sixty-year-old boy The old man didn't let go and cried with tears.
The eyes of the sixty-year-old man turned red, and he bent down to look directly at the child with joy and said: "Pari, you are really my good grandson. I have loved you in vain in the past. Let me tell you the truth! You = Grandpa, I am six months old today." Twelve years old, I have been drifting on the ocean for more than 40 years. I have spent most of my life on the ocean. I have encountered all kinds of typhoons, storms, and difficulties on the ocean. This time I joined the assault ship suicide squad, and I also experienced From the upper reaches of the ocean to the ships and islands, even if I unfortunately enter the range of the enemy's bows and crossbows, I, a bad old man in his sixties who fell into the water, pose no threat to them at all, and they will not release precious crossbows to shoot me. , so you can wait for my return with peace of mind. When you come back from the naval battle tomorrow, I will buy you a big rag doll, a big basket of fruits, and a big bag of lollipops, so you can eat them all."
"Really? That's great, grandpa, I'll wait for you."
"Little Pali turned from crying into laughing, holding the old man's nose with his little hand and said.
"hehe!"
¡¡
Lin Fenghan, Vera, Ross, Pulet and others who came with them watched with red eyes, after all, they were so moved that they couldn't speak to themselves.
