"You don't know that when you accepted the order to return to Asia with us, your list had been sent to the Sino-German Foundation headquarters in Hamburg. We know each of your names and even your hometowns and relatives. clear……"
"From the moment you boarded the ship and left Prussia, you were actually protected by double benefits. Prime Minister Bismarck and Prime Minister Xiao Letian both promised to provide you with the most generous treatment..."
"There is nothing terrible about death. You have to know that as long as the identity of your martyrs is clear, your parents and relatives will be supported by the Sino-German Foundation throughout their lives, and your family can freely choose to settle in Prussia and China. Your family Will have dual citizenship..."
"Hahaha... What's so scary about death? I'm just afraid that death is worthless. Sacrificing one's life for the country has always been a reproach for us soldiers. Now that someone has taken care of our worries, what else is there to be afraid of..."
The Prussian sailors, who were originally full of despair, now have their eyes lit up. "Are you telling the truth? Can we enjoy the same pension treatment as you after we die in battle?"
The soldiers who received the clear answer all laughed, and at that moment the fear of death completely disappeared.
Every family was happy and every family was sad. Molière's noses were crooked when he looked at the popular people above his head who could still laugh even before they died. There were three gunshots, and the bullet almost missed the tip of Sun Chujian's nose.
"Are you really not afraid of death...are you all lunatics..." Just at this moment, there was another loud noise near the poop of the Holy Ship, and the towering water column splashed tons of seawater on the deck, dousing Molière and the others. A heart-breaking feeling.
"Damn bastards... come here! Take these madmen back to the cell in the bottom cabin. Madmen, they are all a group of madmen..."
In the end, he was still reluctant to kill these prisoners, because his wishful thinking was very shrewd. If he wanted to convince the stubborn bureaucrats in Paris, it was not enough to rely on some photos and sketches. There must also be a group of witnesses. These prisoners were The best witness.
Time passed minute by second, with the Holy Ship escaping in front and the Zhiyuan chasing behind. The distance between the two ships was getting smaller and smaller. Seeing that the accuracy of the Zhiyuan's main gun was gradually improving, despair began to rise in the Holy Spirit. The number is filled.
In the end, it was night that saved the Holy Ship. When the sea was shrouded in darkness, the Zhiyuan's aim without night vision equipment was greatly lowered. The Holy Ship also extinguished all its lights. People could only see a blurry black shadow on the sea heading southeast. Flee quickly in the direction.
Xiang Ying in the command room quickly determined the destination of the Holy Ship on the chart, which was Dakar, the most prominent port in West Africa.
"Yes, Molière's destination is Dakar, one of the most important ports in French West Africa and an important transshipment port for trade in South America and Africa... Damn it, once we show up here, our secret will be revealed In the world, this Molière is determined and we dare not reveal his identity!"
Later Chinese people have a very weak impression of Dakar. It seems that only one Dakar Rally is famous in the world. But for Europe now, Dakar is the intersection of several golden waterways, and its strategic location is extremely important.
For France, this is not only an important military base for controlling Africa, but also a continuous gold mine of tax revenue. Every year, it can earn a lot of money from the taxes and maintenance fees of navigation and trade ships.
Because of the importance of Dakar, there are two thousand French regiments stationed here, including three thousand black servants. Not only that, Dakar also has a large number of coastal defense batteries. Although they are all old smoothbore guns, they are superior in number. This is also a serious threat to the Zhiyuan.
However, for Xiang Ying and others, the biggest threat is not military. What the Zhiyuan fears most now is showing up in these busy ports. Once Britain and France clearly see the existence of the Zhiyuan, they will definitely not fight for their lives. Done.
Even if the Zhiyuan can escape in a bloody battle, after the secret is exposed, the technological gap of the Zhiyuan will be quickly made up by the strong industrial strength of Britain and France. I am afraid that even the advantage of two or three years will not be maintained by then, let alone Xiao Rakuten hopes for a ten-year advantage.
what to do? This is a big test for these young children, and everyone is as anxious as if a straw has been lit in their hearts.
Xiang Ying, who had never smoked before, walked out of the command cabin. He took out a cigar from nowhere and lit it against the sea breeze. He took a deep breath, "Cough, cough, cough... It's really choking! I really don't understand why Kevin likes to smoke this?" "
At this time, Lin Zhen's voice suddenly sounded next to him, "If you can't get used to it, give it to me. Although this stuff tastes very strong, it can make people concentrate better, so mental workers like this stuff... Huh? What are you from?" Where did Kevin steal it?”
The two unbuttoned their military uniforms and sat on the deck outside the high command cabin facing the sea breeze. They looked at the direction of the escape of the Holy Ship in the distance. Lin Zhen looked at his pocket watch and said regretfully, "It is now nine o'clock in the evening. According to the Calculating the position on the chart and our current speed, we will be able to see the Dakar lighthouse at midnight... You only have three hours to make a decision, there is no time to hesitate!"
Xiang Ying lamented in pain, "What can I do? The night gives the enemy the best protection. I am sure that Molière must be advancing in a zigzag pattern now. He will not let our main guns catch him!"
"I never thought that making a decision would be so painful. Do you know how heavy the burden is on my shoulders? I really want to give this burden to you... How about you become the captain?"
Lin Zhen and Xiang Ying trained, studied, and served as soldiers together... They were familiar with each other as if they were brothers. He knew that Xiang Ying was not joking, nor was he deliberately testing whether he had ambitions to seize power. Xiang Ying was really riding a tiger now. .
"Bah! Don't you fart... Who dares to disobey the Prime Minister's orders, who dares to carry out them at a discount? If you say you are the captain, you are the captain! Don't forget that you are the prime minister's close disciples, we are not... "
At this point, Lin Zhen glared at Xiang Ying with extreme jealousy. He was right. Xiang Ying's high status made all international students extremely jealous, because he was Xiao Letian's closed disciple, and it was Long Ye who was Xiao Letian's disciple. It’s a condition for working hard.
Nowadays, many people in Xiao Letian's force have listened to Xiao Letian's small lessons, but there are not many people who can be called disciples. Luo Huo is one of them, because his musket tactics were taught by Xiao Letian himself.
Sima Yun, Wang Huaiyuan, and Xiao Hexin can also be regarded as Xiao Letian's close disciples, because they have followed Xiao Letian since Taibaiding and were brought up by the Prime Minister. This book was first published from, be the first to see the genuine content!
