Volume 1: The Arms Dealer¡¯s Feast Chapter 288: Diary of the Captain of the Prince

    This time the rice purchase was advanced, so the Lushan was able to sail directly south to Australia.  It¡¯s just that this time, because of the route, we took the east coast of Australia, which is the route the Lushan cruise ship used to go north. For Hedong¡¯s Lushan cruise ship, monsoons and windless zones have no impact at all, as long as they have been there.  By inputting the route into the computer, the boat can travel by itself even at night.

    That morning, when the Lushan was about to sail near the equator, Captain Roger appeared on the deck carrying a bucket, a fishing rod, and a homemade cigar. For navigation, the captain of a modern ship has much fewer tasks. He only needs to bring  It is enough to give some orders through the walkie-talkie, not to mention that most of the sailors and engineers on board the Lushan are veterans of the Navy. Many times, they can solve problems by themselves without saying anything.

    It¡¯s just that Captain Roger, who was fishing for fun that day, had an accident.

    The first mate reported: "Captain, the radar shows a ship response 25 nautical miles southeast. It is a small ship, about four to six knots, if both of us don't change direction. Contact will be made in one point and five hours."

    Captain Roger took a puff of his cigar: "Then let's make contact. I don't think there were any ships in the seventeenth century that could pose a threat to us."

    He replied sharply: "You are right. Keep the course, contact will be made in one hour and five hours, and military personnel will climb the deck and fort in one hour and ten and five minutes."

    After the former warship Lushan dismantled the 400mm main gun and the 105mm high-level and flat dual-purpose anti-aircraft gun, only some 20mm machine guns (with turrets) were left to deal with possible pirates - after all, this is a teaching ship, not a warship.  This kind of force is enough to deal with pirates who hold rifles and drive speedboats to rob.  This small amount of force is still for the safety of students and teachers. A few machine guns installed on ordinary cargo ships and fishing boats are enough to deter pirates.

    At this time, the Prince, who had been discovered, was not aware of it, but the Prince was not a small ship, but a Spanish galleon with a full thousand tons. Even in Europe, it was known for being heavy and heavy - of course, for the Lushan, the tonnage was  Only one-fiftieth of its size, it is still a small ship no matter how you look at it. After all, in the era when the Lushan was converted into a teaching ship, cruise ships of 100,000 tons were common, not to mention larger oil tankers and cargo ships. The larger the tonnage, the higher the cost of shipping.  Low, the shipping cost is almost zero after the tonnage of the ship exceeds 200,000 tons.

    At this time, Pirlo, the captain of the Prince, did not have the comfortable life of fishing and smoking like Captain Roger. After sailing across half of the Pacific Ocean from South America, people endured the torment of rats, cockroaches, and lice. More than 200 people aboard the Prince  The sailors and soldiers, including Captain Pirlo, were exhausted, and even threw some sick crew members overboard during the voyage - in order to prevent infectious diseases, this was the best method considered effective in the Age of Discovery.

    There are now only 196 people left on the Prince, and everyone is looking forward to reaching Manila as soon as possible so that the crew and soldiers on the Prince can go ashore to have a rest.  Manila has wine, clean water, women (for money, of course), food that doesn't spoil, and hard bread that won't break your teeth. That's enough.

    About 1.5 hours later, everything happened according to Captain Roger's script.

    The crew on the Prince screamed: "Look, the devil ship, no, it's a ghost ship, God, the devil ship appeared in the clear sky in broad daylight. Has God abandoned us?"

    Jin Sanduo shouted on the electric loudspeaker in German and French respectively: "This is the Lushan. I hope you will stop the ship and accept our inspection."

    As for why we have to stop the ship on the high seas for inspection - dear, you forgot that the big fist is the reason.  The key point now is that the Lushan is unique in the world's oceans, so the order of the Lushan should be accepted unconditionally.  In other words, the words of Lushan are the law - although it has nothing to do with justice, but speaking of law, in Britain at this time and a few hundred years later, a child who stole a piece of bread would be hanged. This law has nothing to do with justice.  It has nothing to do with money - in which country is it considered that ordinary child theft is not punishable by death?

    ¡°Probably after understanding what they were saying on the ship, the sailors on the deck got busy, unpacking the gun jackets and loading gunpowder and ammunition.

    Captain Roger in the telescope saw this scene and said sadly: "Open fire, they are a bunch of masters who won't shed tears until they see the coffin."

    In line with the principle of saving ammunition, the Lushan used three 20mm machine gun turrets to cross-fire once at a distance of one thousand meters.

    "Oh God." Looking at the messy corpses and wounded on the boat, Captain Pirlo finally believed that they had encountered a devil's ship.  He had witnessed the Lushan's firing just now. There was no white smoke, and strings of shells hit the deck and the forts below, killing and wounding the heroic soldiers of the Spanish Empire one by one from beyond the range.  The prince's good naval gun can't be so big., but it is impossible to be accurate at shooting such a distance. The general standard is that artillery is only allowed to fire within 400 meters.  If there is an excellent gunner, the hit rate at this distance can reach about 5%.

    After a round of fire strikes, Jin Sanduo's voice continued to come out: "Surrender, we will treat the prisoners preferentially. Otherwise, we can only continue to fire."

    Turning off the electric horn, Jin Sanduo turned on the walkie-talkie and asked: "Which side is this ship from? Let's kill it directly. Is there anyone there?"

    Zhang Leping from the history group said: "Looking at the ship type and course, there is only one explanation: a Spanish gold transport ship."

    Once they heard it was Spanish, everyone didn¡¯t care.  After all, the Spanish colonists in this era were no different from bandits. They massacred tens of thousands of Chinese in Manila a few years ago. They were just afraid that these Chinese would collude with the Ming Dynasty to plot the Philippines - in fact, there was no such thing.

    The next goal of the Republic of Australia is to capture Manila after Australia is secure, so the Lushan has never gone to Manila to trade to expose its strength.  Naturally, there is no psychological burden for directly killing this group of people - it can even be said that as long as a Spanish ship encounters the Lushan, there is only one word of death. After all, hearing is false and seeing is believing, and it has been spread from other places.  The rumors were not enough for the Spanish in Manila to prepare for the Lushan's future attack.

    Like Captain Roger, many people used their own telescopes to observe the reaction on the Spanish galleon from a safe distance.  To everyone's surprise, internal strife broke out on the ship. After several people were killed, the remaining people threw all the corpses and seriously injured people on the ship into the sea.  Then they raise the white pieces to gather the weapons and personnel onto the deck, which are, of course, separate.

    Obviously, this is to accept the Lushan Ship's persuasion to surrender, but the Lushan Ship has no intention of sending them back to Australia - the labor force the Lushan Ship needs must at least have the virtue of hard work and kindness, and does not require any uncontrollable factors.  Going to a certain island can save a lot of food and tonnage - although the island where the Lushan was going to deport people was still carrying out cannibal hunting activities in the 1960s (including villagers from neighboring villages and lone passers-by)  are their sources of protein), but maybe the indigenous people on the island were very hospitable in this era of the seventeenth century.

    On this day, Pirlo wrote in the captain¡¯s diary: Today, we encountered the legendary devil ship.  The huge hull and the ferocious firepower on it made the sailors and soldiers lose the desire to resist. Paul, the missionary of the Prince, still hoped that everyone would resist and won over the boatswain of the Prince and several sailors.

    However, most people disagree that there is no hope of fighting the devil ship in this way, and the speed of our Prince is far inferior to this huge devil ship without sails. I don¡¯t know who made the move first, maybe it was Evans. In short,  Missionary Paul and several others died.

    The wounded and corpses with no hope of recovery were thrown into the sea. We raised the white flag and concentrated all weapons to avoid misunderstanding.  The good news is they probably saw what we were doing and didn't open fire at this time.  You know, at that time most people were on the deck waiting for trial.  Yes, we, a group of Lambs of God, can only wait for the devil's judgment now. Just like God did not answer me when I prayed countless times, God did not answer me this time either.

    This is not the first time that I have doubted the existence of the Lord. Well, I admit that I am a sinner.  Perhaps it is because I am a sinner that I can be judged by the devil. Those who are not sinners have already been judged by us.

    The people on this devil's ship were very strange. They didn't plan to board the ship and rob the 350,000 pounds of silver and 30,000 pounds of gold on board.  You must know that this is 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 some soldiers were sent on the back deck of the Devil Ship to guard the personnel of the Prince on the opposite side. In this way, the Prince continued to sail under the tow of the Devil Ship.

    If I were to say, even when encountering strong winds, the Prince with full sail cannot reach such a fast speed - I have never even seen a ship that can run at this speed.  If I have to tell you what happened, it must be driven by the power of the devil to do such a thing now.

    Finally, it only took us a few hours to reach our destination under the tow of the devil ship - this is probably an island in the tropics. The island seems very big and the shore looks very desolate.  They returned to us the small sampan and personal weapons on the Prince, excluding firearms of course.  Holding the guy in our hands made everyone feel a little more at ease, but why were we the only ones who got off the ship? They dragged the Prince away after we all landed on the island. Is this considered an exile? Forget it, this makes everyone feel better than pirates  Jumping off the plank to feed the sharks is already kind.

    The third day on the island.

      Everyone agreed that this big island was Devil's Island, and it must have been the place where the Devil's ship set sail, because the natives here were all devils.  Yesterday, only one of Benson, Jason and the nine people who went out with them to look for fresh water and food came back. This poor young man was almost crazy with fear.  After he came back, he repeatedly shouted one word: "Eat people."

    After the troops went out and found the place where they were killed, everyone understood why he said that.  A group of natives were having a cannibal feast at the place where they died. Oh my God, weren't those who had their heads opened and drank their brains, Benson and Jason, and the others? Their bodies were grilled on the fire, regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young.  Everyone is enjoying this feast.

    ¡°This must be hell, that¡¯s what everyone thinks.

    We took up the courage to kill this group of cannibal devils, but there were also warriors among these cannibal devils. Three more of us were killed - now there are only 126 people left on the island on the Prince.  It's so strange that as soon as they kill a person, they can't wait to open his head and drink the brains inside.  This only devilish approach makes us feel trembling in the depths of our souls.

    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 I knocked him to the ground and found that I wanted  The ten-year-old child was extremely calm when I killed him, as if I was going to trim his beard.  It's probably because he is a child of the devil that he can do this.  Others got the same answer after the war. None of the cannibal devils here begged for mercy or shouted before they died. Of course, they were not mute when they attacked. They also roared in a language we couldn't understand.

    No matter what, we recaptured the bodies of Benson and Jason - although they were all mutilated and cooked, their bodies were buried with the three warriors in the battle.  We don't have much food and water, so we need to think of more ways to get some food back.  I just wonder how many more devils there are on this island?

    The seventh day on the island.

    We found water and a little food.  But we were wrong, wrong.  Because there are only devils on this island except for the 81 of us who survived.  Lord, I admit that I am guilty, but there is no need to punish us like this.

    "These cannibal devils attack us day and night, either sneak attacks or strong attacks. Using their crude weapons, they capture a few people each time - or rather, food."  We have concentrated as much as possible and have people on guard day and night, but this kind of attack never stops for a day.

    Sometimes we also go for revenge. During a chase two days ago, we found a cannibal demon settlement, where white bones and skulls piled up into hills.  One hundred and eight of us rushed into this devilish village of more than a hundred people and killed them all - our weapons were sharper than theirs, and our hatred was stronger than theirs, but we also suffered casualties. Afterwards, we counted the princes  There were only 92 sailors and soldiers left on the ship.

    As you can see, I used the word "kill them" above because some of the young female cannibals were not killed.  They were captured by us. The crew members were already very hungry and thirsty after arriving here from South America. After getting enough water and some food, they couldn't wait to vent their anger.

    But we were wrong again.  The cannibals here are far more violent than the natives of South America, although there is no difference in body structure after repeated observations.  Four young men were smashed open with stones by the surviving female devil in the middle of the night. When others found out, they were drinking the brains of the young men.

    Maybe they are seeking revenge for this cannibal tribe, or maybe they are just hungry.  But in this case, we can only kill them. God, what will we do without women in the future.  Because of this, we generously did not kill them, but tied them to pillars and sealed their mouths most of the time to ensure the absolute safety of the young men who fucked them - among the four young men who died that day  One had his throat bitten out.

    There is not much cultivated land in the village, and there are also fishing boats. According to me, they are not as good as the small sampans we left on the shore. They can't go out to the open sea anyway.  The devils of this cannibal tribe also raise a small number of pigs and sheep, but for some unknown reason, they still like to eat people.

    The fifteenth day ashore.

    The burial of Benson and Jason was meaningless. They should have been buried in water, because their bodies were dug up and eaten by these cannibal devils, including the cannibals we killed and buried together.  Devils¡ª¡ªgods, they don't even spare the corpses 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 was obviously hidden, but it's still gone now.

    The only survivors of the PrinceThere are 68 people left.  These days we are still fighting after we have a village. I don¡¯t know when at night a group of cannibal devils will rush towards the small village from the darkness.  I dare say we have killed more cannibal devils these days, but they don't seem to know what it means to be afraid.  We were really scared then, but here, we either killed those cannibal devils or were killed.

    Another point is that most of the cannibal devils we killed were snatched back by themselves.  Now we know that they want to eat their companions. As long as they are dead, they don't care whether they are brothers, father or son, and will smash their heads with stones as soon as possible.

    The thirtieth day ashore.

    This is the last time I write a captain¡¯s note, because the ink is about to run out. Anyway, there is no concept of words here. I don¡¯t know who I am writing for, maybe it is just for myself.  Or maybe, there really is a Lord, and I am writing to the Lord.

    It is worth recording that ten days ago the remaining 59 of us collectively prayed for the last time, and then we cooked the slain demons of the cannibal tribe that attacked us last night and our dead brothers on the fire.  We also imitated those cannibal devils and cracked open their heads with stones to suck out the fresh brains inside - before that we still felt a little guilty.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  We shared this feast with the surviving local cannibal women in the village - through this time, they accepted our sex with their bodies without reservation.  Despite the language barrier, we formed a new village.  Here we will farm, fish, breed and hunt - of course hunting other villages.

    Yes, from that day on we became cannibal devils.
