"Nonsense. Why are you here? You're just trying to save your life. Tie up these brats and send them back to Shuri Castle."
"Stop. Captain Chu, don't you want the latest military information? Don't you want to know the French's plan? Don't you want victory. I tell you clearly. Just keep fighting like this. It will be a disastrous defeat."
Xiang Ying's roar calmed Chu Zhao. These young children jumped into the trenches as soon as they saw an opportunity. Before Chu Zhao could curse out loudly. A high-precision Ryukyu map was opened.
"Now the enemy's strategy and tactics are very obvious. Among the ten warships, two of the most flexible and fastest ships were sent to detour from the east Pacific. Their attack target was Kunigami Village, and their main fleet used the most powerful Crazy artillery bombardment of Naha. The purpose of the first update is to hold back our main force."
"This is a very obvious tactic of seducing the east and attacking the west. And they have only one purpose. They want to capture our majesty alive. King Shangtai."
Xiang Ying said a few words. In exchange for this, people around him screamed in surprise. These ordinary soldiers and ordinary people. Of course I knew the French were here to fight. They also knew that they wanted to take revenge on Prime Minister Xiao. But what exactly is the cause of the whole thing? What kind of revenge will it be? Everyone present was confused about these things.
Xiang Ying nodded to Cai Bixia. He took out the kettle and took a drink of water. Cai Bixia said with a reddish face, "Everyone knows what it means to do nothing early without profit. In fact, international relations and war are the same as doing business. The first thing to pay attention to when updating is that no profit comes early."
"Wars cost money. And they cost huge amounts of gold and silver. We can't imagine it. Although France has money, it will not do loss-making business. They used the excuse of revenge. But in the end the war ended Okay. They also have to settle accounts."
"We are poor people in Ryukyu. Even if we squeeze out all the wealth, we can still get a little money. If the French only rely on war reparations, it will never quench their thirst. So I analyze that the French came here for the treaty this time."
When it comes to treaties. Ordinary soldiers and civilians couldn't understand it even more. Now only Chu Zhao and Luo Houhou can understand it to a certain extent. They won't fight anyone this time. He leaned over and listened carefully.
Cai Bixia was a little shy. This was her first time speaking in front of countless adults. The first update. She coughed twice and calmed her mind. "We can put ourselves in someone else's shoes and think about it. If I were a Frenchman, what kind of benefits would I want? It would be easy to think about it this way."
"The right to station troops and the right to free trade and tax exemption. As long as we can have these two privileges, even if we don't ask for a war reparation, France will take advantage."
"The French have long coveted the interests of East Asia. But their naval power is not as big as the United Kingdom. In addition, even if they provoke a war, they have to have an excuse. And this time they use the excuse of revenge against the prime minister. Then they can justifiably send a fleet Attack Ryukyu. Without worrying about British diplomatic protests.”
"As long as they control King Shangtai. Please come to more and faster chapters. There are also a lot of civil and military forces. He can support the puppet emperor. Then change our Naha into a French military port. By then, North Korea can control Japan and North Korea. There is northern China. To the south, we can control Taiwan Island and Fujian. To the east, we can threaten the U.S. fleet. Don’t you think this deal is worth it?”
"Be good. There are all these twists and turns here." Countless soldiers and civilians were dumbfounded. Even Chu Zhao had never thought about it so deeply.
"I understand. The reason why the French did not land directly at Naha Port but chose Kunigami here is because they wanted the navy to block all ports. Then they sent the army to capture His Majesty alive. He was afraid that Your Majesty would escape."
Cai Bixia nodded, "Yes. You may not know it. When the French crossed the Miyako Strait, they had already opened fire on civilian ships. Please come to more and faster chapters. Their purpose is definitely not as simple as a demonstration." They just want to destroy all our ships and tightly control His Majesty on this island."
Chu Zhao and Luo Houhou were now completely convinced. Let them think about these plans and I'm afraid the war is over. They couldn't understand either. But in front of a big study who has received an education in international relations courses. Even if they are just students who have studied for more than a year. It can also be analyzed to the nearest ten.
This is the power of knowledge. Without knowledge you can only be a leader. It would be a big deal to become a platoon leader. And once these college students enter the new army. At the very least, you have to start with the company commander or senior staff officer.
Not to mention that Xiao Letai had such a plan. These kids have 'physical education' classes almost every day in college. Please come to more and faster chapters. And the scores in the 'physical education class' are still the top priority. Yes. You have only seen physical education classes that teach people military posture, formation, musket shooting and even artillery repair. You will know how important this course is.
"Then what should we do now." Luo Houhou stuffed the bandage that fell off again. His eyes are full of longing for intellectuals.
At this time, the fat man Jin Sanshun had finally calmed down. "What to do? It's already past noon after fighting with them. The enemy has made it clear that they want to build a line of defense and not fight us. At this time, we have nothing to do except take the initiative to attack." What other solution is there?”
A bit of cruelty and intolerance suddenly appeared on the little fat man's face. He looked at the soldiers and fishermen around him and said, "I need a few dead soldiers. I will update a few dead soldiers who are so good at water as soon as possible. I want to entrust him with a near-death mission."
At this point, Lin Zhen and Jin Sanshun took off their backpacks. He took out a lot of messy tools from inside. There was oilcloth, oil paper, and lots of candle rope.
"What is this for?" Many people asked in confusion. Lin Zhen explained as he took out his tools, "It really feels like we are studying in college for nothing. What we study is the best chemistry and physics in the West. This is the core secret of Westerners conquering nature. Give us gunpowder. We can make things for you." A package that exploded at the bottom of the ocean.”
There was a bang. The people around were all in a panic. Their looks of admiration just now turned into pity. Updated as soon as possible. In their eyes, these children are just stupid in reading.
"It can explode in water. How do you light a fire? You have a fever and are confused. Go back quickly. This is not a place for you to stay. Come on, kid."
Jin Sanshun was told a big blush. He grabbed a small precision part from the ground and came out, "What is this? This is the flintlock device. All grenades in the future will be equipped with this kind of thing. A small rope drags the grinding wheel to rotate. The sparks are generated Can’t it be lit?”
Lin Zhen said angrily, "What's so scary about water? We can make a wax seal. Fold oil paper into a bowl shape. Put the flint device inside. Then put the traction rope outside. What do you think? There is enough air in the space to light the fuse, and there is wax sealing it outside. Please come to more chapters faster. Why are you afraid of water?"
Advanced physics knowledge was taught to the students in vernacular. All the people around him stopped talking. They looked around and seemed to think that this plan was somewhat feasible.
The guy who just made the most jokes. He scratched his scalp and said, "Oh, I didn't understand it, but it sounds pretty awesome. If you can really do it, I can't guarantee it. No one in Kunigami Village can hold my breath underwater better than me."
Just do it. A group of college students stuck their butts out and started working. The wooden box containing the bullets became the package carrier. There were layers and layers of tarpaulin filled with alcohol. Everyone checked carefully for fear of any cracks.
The flintlock and fuse are connected together. It was first updated and fixed with wooden strips and then sealed with tarpaulin. And make sure there is a certain amount of air inside. The long pull rope emerges from the wax seal like a long tail.
"I need four dead men with the best water skills. I am the grandson of Jin Changsen. My name is Jin Sanshun. I swear on the honor of my grandfather today. Even if you die in the battle, I, the Jin family, will guarantee the wealth of the next three generations of you."
"Go away. This is a national war. There is no need for your favors from the Jin family. The Prime Minister has never been stingy with rewards. I think your Jin family still can't break away from the old thinking of the past." Xiang Ying scolded Fatty Jin in two words. Scratching his scalp in embarrassment, "I'm just talking. Just talking."
Chu Zhao secretly nodded to Xiang Ying. This is indeed Mr. Long’s nephew. He is worthy of being an inner disciple who has taken a small class with Mr. Xiao. This kind of cleverness is really unmatched by ordinary people.
"Pass my order. Recruit four fishermen with the best water skills and tell them clearly. This mission has a narrow escape from death. But the Prime Minister will never be stingy with rewards. No matter you live or die, our new army will support your family. Is there anyone?"
At this time, a probing voice came from the crowd, "I'm not afraid of death. Anyway, these foreign devils bombed my home and killed my brother. I want revenge, but I have a condition. Can you go back and let my son do this too?" Where’s the university?”
Xiang Ying took over Chu Zhao's words as soon as he heard it, "No problem. I'll take care of your children's college education. The foundation is not enough for the two of us to start a small business for him alone. I guarantee him a bright future."
"Done. As long as my son can jump onto the dragon gate in the future, I will give up my life. Count me in."
The Ryukyu Kingdom never lacks fishermen with good water skills. They almost fought over the spots for the four dead soldiers. In the end, some of the eldest old men spoke out. I personally named four fishermen with the best water skills. This ended the quarrel.
It doesn't take a while. In the reef jungle where Beishan plunges into the sea. Four fishermen, stripped only of their loincloths, quietly stepped into the waves. Two people were carrying a wooden box. One of them was holding a hammer and nails. Under the cover of the shadow of the reef, the four of them slowly dived into the blue water.
At this time, there was a tense atmosphere in the trench. Chu Zhao kept looking at the time. The chain of the pocket watch was almost broken. They had just calculated it. It would take at least twenty minutes to swim close to the battleship. The water purity in Ryukyu waters is very high. The closer a dead soldier is to a battleship, the easier it is to spot him.
At this time, you can see the disadvantages of not having pollution. When the dead man was halfway through his swim. A fierce counterattack must be fought on land. You must attract the enemy's full attention. Even a fearless sacrifice. As long as it can cover the actions of comrades. Then everything is worth it.
Time passed minute by minute. When ten minutes passed, it seemed like a century. Chu Zhao suddenly took out his pistol and fired three shots at the French army.
"Brothers, charge with me." Hundreds of figures suddenly jumped out of the trench. He rushed towards the French without hesitation. From, watch genuine content for the first time!
