"You don't know that when you were ordered to return to Asia with us, your list had already been sent to the headquarters of the Sino-German Foundation in Hamburg, and we knew the names of each and every one of you, even your hometowns and relatives......"

"From the moment you got on board and left Prussia, you were actually protected by a double welfare, and both the Prime Minister Bismarck and the Prime Minister Xiao Lotian promised to provide you with the best possible treatment......

"What is so terrible about death, you must know that as long as your identity as a martyr is clear, your parents and relatives will be supported by the Sino-German Foundation for the rest of their lives, and your family members can freely choose to settle in Prussia and China, and your family will have dual citizenship......"

"Hahaha...... What is so terrible about death? We are afraid that death is worthless, and sacrificing our lives for the country is originally an accusation of our soldiers, and now there are still people who have solved our worries, so what is there to be afraid of......

The eyes of the Prussian sailors, who had been full of despair, now lit up: "What you said is true?

The soldiers who received a clear answer all laughed, and the fear of death at that moment completely vanished.

A happy family has a sad family, Molière looked at the nose of those who could still laugh out loud on the top of his head. There were three gunshots, and the bullets almost grazed the tip of Sun Chujian's nose.

"Are you really not afraid of death...... Are they all madmen......" At that moment there was another loud bang near the stern of the Holy Ship, and the jets of water that rushed to the sky splashed tons of seawater on the deck, and poured Molière and them on the deck.

"Damn bastards...... Bring these lunatics back to the bilge cell, madmen, they're all madmen......"

In the end, he was reluctant to kill the captives, because his wishful thinking was shrewd, and if he wanted to convince the recalcitrant bureaucrats in Paris, it was not enough to rely on photographs and sketches, but also to have a group of witnesses, and these captives were the best witnesses.

Time passed minute by minute, the Holy fled in front, the Zhiyuan chased behind, the distance between the two ships became smaller and smaller, seeing that the accuracy of Zhiyuan's main guns was gradually improving, despair began to permeate the Holy One.

In the end, it was night that saved the Holiness, and when the sea was shrouded in darkness, the Zhiyuan's head, which had no night vision equipment, was greatly reduced, and the Holiness extinguished all the lights, and people could only see a vague black shadow on the sea, fleeing in a southeasterly direction.

Xiang Ying in the command room quickly determined the destination of the Holy on the nautical chart, which was the most prominent port in West Africa, Dakar.

"That's right, Molière's destination is Dakar, one of the most important ports in West Africa, France, and an important transshipment port for trade in South America and Africa...... Damn, once we show up here, our secrets will be revealed, this Molière is determined that we don't dare to reveal our identities!"

Later generations of Chinese have a very weak impression of Dakar, as if only one Dakar Rally is very famous in the world. But for Europe today, Dakar is the meeting point of several golden shipping lanes, and its strategic location is extremely important.

For France, it is not only an important military base for controlling Africa, but also a constant source of tax gold, which can make a lot of money every year from the taxes and maintenance costs of seafaring trade ships.

Because of the importance of Dakar, two thousand French legions were stationed here, of which three thousand were black servants. Not only that, Dakar also has a large number of shore defense batteries, although they are all old smoothbore guns, but they are numerous, which is also a serious threat to the Zhiyuan.

However, for Xiang Ying and them, the biggest threat is not military, what Zhiyuan is most afraid of now is to show up outside these busy ports, once Britain and France clearly see the existence of Zhiyuan, it will definitely not be over if they don't play with their lives.

Even if the Zhiyuan can escape in a bloody battle, but after the secret is exposed, the technical generation gap of the Zhiyuan will be quickly made up by the strong industrial strength of Britain and France, I am afraid that at that time, even the advantage of two or three years will not be maintained, let alone the ten-year advantage that Xiao Letian hopes.

This is a big test for these young children, and everyone is as anxious as if a straw has been lit in their hearts.

Walking out of the command cabin, Xiang Ying, who has never smoked, didn't know where to find a cigar and lit it against the sea breeze, and took a deep breath...... I can't figure out why Kevin likes to smoke this?"

At this time, Lin Zhen's voice suddenly sounded beside him, "If you can't get used to it, give it to me, although this thing tastes very strong, but it can improve people's attention, so mental workers like this thing...... Huh, where did you steal this from Kevin?"

The two unbuttoned their military uniforms and sat on the deck outside the high command cabin facing the sea breeze, looking at the direction of the escape of the Holy in the distance, Lin Zhen looked at his pocket watch and said regretfully, "It's nine o'clock in the evening, according to the position on the chart and our current speed, we can see the lighthouse of Dakar at midnight...... You only have three hours to make a decision, so there's no time to hesitate!"

Xiang Ying sighed bitterly, "What can I do, the night gives the enemy the best protection, I'm sure that now Molière must be zigzag forward, he won't let our main artillery catch him!"

"I didn't expect the decision to be so painful, do you know how heavy the burden is on my shoulders? I really want to give you this burden...... Why don't you be the captain of this ship?"

Lin Zhen and Xiang Ying trained, studied, and served as soldiers together...... The two sides are as familiar as brothers, he knows that Xiang Ying is not joking, nor is he deliberately testing whether he has the ambition to seize power, Xiang Ying is really a bit difficult to ride a tiger now.

"Phew, you don't fart much...... Who dares to disobey the Prime Minister's orders, and who dares to carry them out at a discount? Say that you are the captain of the ship, you are the captain! Don't forget that you are the prime minister's closed disciple, and we are not ......."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhen glared at Xiang Ying with extreme jealousy, what he said was not wrong, Xiang Ying's high status made all international students extremely jealous, because he was Xiao Letian's closed disciple, and that was still a condition for Master Long to work hard for Xiao Letian.

Nowadays, among Xiao Letian's forces, many people have heard Xiao Letian's lessons, but there are not many people who can be called disciples, Luo Huo is counted as one, because his musket tactics are passed on by Xiao Letian himself.

Sima Yun, Wang Huaiyuan, and Xiao Hexin are also Xiao Letian's close disciples, because they have followed Xiao Letian since Taibaiding, and they were brought up by the prime minister.
