Chapter 396: Secret Base
"So you're going to buy lumber?"
"Why, there is a lot of oak in the Americas, and that kind of wood is better than this. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng Fei shook the reins.
"America?" Brad frowned, "What is that place?"
"You'll know when the time comes. Zheng Fei sold it.
Several men rode their horses and stopped at the edge of the forest.
Seeing these noble horses, and the men in fur coats sitting on them, the lumberjack leader quickly stopped what he was doing, walked up in three steps and two steps, and smiled stiffly.
"Lord Gotel didn't come to inspect this time?" the leader lifted his sleeve and wiped the snot from the tip of his nose.
"I don't know anything Gotel. ”
"So what are you doing here? The leader suddenly changed his expression, with some disdain in his eyes, and turned to leave.
However, his footsteps stopped in the next second.
"I'm here to send you money. As he spoke, Hans pulled out a few gold coins and threw them at his feet.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the yellow gold coins, looked up at the lumberjacks struggling to see the trees in front of him, and when he saw that they didn't look at them, he immediately bent down and picked up the gold coins, put them into his pocket with lightning speed, and swallowed them privately.
Seeing his virtue, several people looked at each other and smiled.
He turned silently, the smile that resembled a smirk on his lips again.
"May I ask how many of you are here?"
"Where are you going to send the wood you saw?"
"Well, of course it's the Navy Port, where the Navy is stationed, and it's also the shipyard. "After receiving the benefits, the leader has something to say.
"Look, I guessed right. Zheng Fei smiled at Brad, in English.
Then he cut back to Latin: "When is the next time you are going to deliver wood?"
"Coincidentally, tonight. ”
"Can you take a few of us in?"
This request made the lumberjack leader stunned for a moment, and quickly became alert.
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, it's just a visit, what can we do with just a few of us?" Zheng Fei shrugged and smiled friendlyly.
"That's right, there are tens of thousands of navies stationed in the naval port, and it's absolutely safe. The leader rolled his eyes and smiled slyly, "So, how much benefit are you willing to give me?"
Zheng Fei took out a small cloth bag: "After the matter is completed, this bag of gold coins is all yours." ”
"Deal!" the leader's eyes lit up, and he saw that there were at least fifty gold coins in the bag, which was his income for two years.
The reason why it was necessary to rely on this way to enter the naval port was because, after an afternoon of inquiry, the naval port was a place where idlers were not allowed to enter, and without a pass issued by the Grand Duke himself, all were turned away, except for the army and the troops who delivered timber.
The main purpose of entering the naval port this time was to find out the details and see how many giant warships there were.
Soon in the evening, in the cold winter of Denmark, the sunset is less envious of the world's posture, but more indescribable withering beauty, hanging quietly on the horizon, distressed that no one admires her.
Large logs were loaded onto trucks, and the team transporting timber slowly marched towards the naval port, which was more than ten kilometers away.
Hans was responsible for bringing the horses back to the city, and the rest of the men dressed as lumberjacks set off with the convoy.
"Alas, I'm so tired. Santiago sat on a piece of wood, his head bowed, and he looked like he had been sinned.
"Then go to sleep. Zheng Fei said half-comfortingly and half-teasingly, unscrewed the lid of the wine jug, shook it, and took a sip.
"Wow, what a fragrant wine. The lumberjack next to him sniffed vigorously, stared at the wine jug greedily for a long time, and didn't wait for Zheng Fei to give him a drink.
"It's not that I'm tired, it's that I'm tired. ”
Santiago's humble appearance made even Brad laugh, and Brad, who has always been indifferent, felt for the first time that this big man who was a little stupid and a little obscene was quite cute.
"Ha, are you still tired?" Zheng Fei smiled.
"Well, it's good not to stay in the city, I run to this cold and snowy place, and I don't even have a roast goose, I'm so tired. Santiago said in all seriousness.
The lumberjacks around him laughed at him.
Only Zheng Fei's smile revealed a little elusive meaning, because he was the person who knew Santiago best.
Santiago was deliberately amused, acting as a pistachio, he didn't want to see a dull atmosphere, hoping to add a little fun to the boring journey.
He's a great man, but he's not good at it.
As the sun set, the team finally arrived at Naval Harbor.
The naval port was located at the other end of the city, as for what the city was called, Zheng Fei didn't know, he didn't have time to measure the latitude and longitude with a sextant in a hurry, he asked others, but they said a name he had never heard before, so he couldn't be sure.
However, in terms of the size of the city, Copenhagen is an extremely important city, if not the capital of Denmark.
The Navy Harbour is surrounded by an iron fence, three or four meters high, and a ditch five meters wide and five meters deep is set behind the fence to prevent anyone from cutting the fence and sneaking in.
It's a secret base, and everything is not open to the public, so it must be kept absolutely secret before the expedition is carried out.
It was for this reason that the King of Denmark transferred all his royal guards to serve as sentinels.
The procession stopped at the gate of the Naval Harbor, facing a closed gate and two columns of sentries waiting for them.
On the high watchtower, several cannons were aimed at their discovery, and as soon as there was any chaos, they immediately set fire!
"Password!" the sentry grimace.
"Great Christian, with the great Kingdom of Denmark to the light. The lumberjack leader reverently said.
Christian, both the name of the battleship and the name of the King of Denmark, and in addition to that, the ship engineer named Christine. Christian and Christine, perhaps, are the same name.
"Is it Gottel's lumberjack?" the sentinel's vigilance relaxed.
"Yes, sir. ”
"Why didn't he bring you himself?"
"I don't know, sir, he didn't go to the lumber yard today. ”
"Damn, I'm going to drink flower wine again. The sentry scoffed and waved his hand, "Go!"
The iron gate slowly opened, and a team of hundreds of lumberjacks drove into this secret base built on the seaside.
Inside the base, you can see soldiers in navy uniforms everywhere, most of them are sitting in the house drinking and chatting, and a few are still practicing, the chimney of the room is spitting smoke, and the chef is preparing the most delicious roast goose for everyone.
This batch of navy was the treasure bump of the Danish dynasty, the most important component of the expeditionary plan, and the living conditions were naturally several notches higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
The convoy stopped at a field full of wood, and the lumberjacks took a short break to finish the food brought by the cook and begin unloading.
By this time, night had fallen.
"Action. Zheng Fei said to a few guys, his face dark. (To be continued.) )
