Chapter 463: Outstanding Officer
"What a bastard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Hans couldn't help laughing, but behind the seemingly sneering, there was a hint of emotion, he raised his eyebrows, and gestured calmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely go back, and keep these ten hours." ”
"Even if you can't hold it, you have to come back. Zheng Fei stared at his eyes seriously and said.
"Okay. Hans silently took out the flask and took a small sip.
After a short repair, Zheng Fei beckoned everyone to get ready to board the ship and leave, leaving the people who were stationed in the position to wave goodbye to the Spartan army, although they understood that the cold-blooded and ruthless Spartan warriors did not care whether they lived or died.
To be on the safe side, Zheng Fei didn't immediately let go of the captured convoy soldiers, otherwise they would have run to report to the reinforcements, which would have been too bad.
He decided to set off with the group of soldiers first, and then release them when he was about to cross the strait.
Surprisingly, the soldiers and officers of the convoy were all restless after hearing his thoughts.
On deck.
"Sir, can I ask you for one thing?" the officer furrowed his brow worriedly, his face heavy.
"Tell me about it. Zheng Fei replied, watching the sailors raise their huge gongs and raise their big white sails in the midst of a shout.
"Please don't let us go. ”
"Why? Do you want to be sailors?"
"No," the officer let out a long breath: "Deserters in Denmark are to be executed, and we people not only became deserters, but also helped the enemy build positions, and the king and General Arna would never let us go, so... I would like to ask you to take us away. ”
Listening to his earnest statement, Zheng Fei frowned slightly, and his gaze swept over the soldiers' faces full of anticipation.
It's not impossible to take them away, although this group of soldiers is only a transport soldier, they are still somewhat proficient in artillery technology and can play a big role.
"You can go, but what about your family?
"Oh, don't worry about that, you just need to let the fleet dock a little as it passes by Skagen, we're all Skagen. ”
Skagen, located at the northernmost tip of Jutland on the Danish mainland, was a historic fishing center, and the fleet was out of danger when it arrived, because it was only necessary to bypass Skagen and enter the vast North Sea into the Atlantic, and the Danish fleet could no longer find a trace.
"Yes, I promise you. Zheng Fei replied, and after a pause, he added another sentence before the joyful officers and soldiers opened their mouths to thank them.
"However, I can only take you to England and let you go, and I can't take you on. ”
Hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other.
"Why?" the officer asked urgently.
"Because I am your Danish enemy. Zheng Fei smiled helplessly.
"You don't believe us?"
"I'm sorry, to be honest, I need gunners like you very much, but I have to be responsible for my own safety and the safety of the fleet, I can't keep the enemy with me all the time, then sooner or later something will happen. ”
After a few moments of stagnation, the officer silently gnawed his fingers and brewed in his heart.
After that, he burst out with a famous sentence that surprised Zheng Fei extremely much.
"There are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. ”
Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at him sideways, and waited for him to continue.
After a pause, the officer shrugged: "Just now you said that you are an enemy of Denmark, this sentence is wrong, you are only an enemy of the Danish royal family, not an enemy of Denmark as a whole." ”
"Is there a difference?" Before destroying the naval port, Zheng Fei was mentally prepared to be the enemy of Denmark, after all, it condensed its eight years of hard work, and the expectations and longings of countless Danes were shattered in the palm of his hand.
"Of course there is a difference. The officer smiled bitterly: "Denmark has been preparing for the expedition for eight years, but did you know that while the military strength is increasing rapidly, the people's morale is falling at a faster rate. Countless adult men were forced to respond to the conscription to join the army, and their original lives were not rich enough to eat and drink, but they had to leave their livelihoods and families behind, and only send a meager military salary to their families every year. ”
After a pause, the officer shook his head and sighed: "The ruler drew a large pie for the commoners, telling them that as long as the expedition plan is implemented, the Danish dynasty will be able to go to the light and conquer the European continent and obtain endless wealth." But what does that wealth have to do with us civilians? They also said the same thing when they went to the north to war, but after the war, did a copper fall into the pockets of our civilians? The so-called expeditions, in the final analysis, were only to satisfy the ambitions of the rulers, and no civilian with a stable life would be enthusiastic about war. ”
"We have long been disappointed in the ruler and the expedition, and we only hope that the expeditionary force can set off early, end the war early, and give us a stable life. ”
With that, the officer took a long, deep breath and stared at the empty deck, his pupils filled with deep regret.
"But following my fleet doesn't mean being stable. Zheng Fei said frankly, for some reason, he began to admire the person in front of him a little.
"I understand, but it's better to follow you than to stay in Denmark, and the King would have been mad at rebuilding the Navy if he knew that the Navy Harbour had been destroyed by you, but he would soon find that without Lord Christine, everything was empty talk. However, as far as I know about him, the ambition that has been brewing for eight whole years is about to succeed but suddenly dies, and he will definitely not give up easily, he will recruit more soldiers, loot more wealth to expand the army, and make up for the lack of a navy with a stronger army, and by that time, it is estimated that many Danes will want to escape. The officer smiled wryly and rubbed his eyebrows.
His words made Zheng Fei frown in confusion and surprise.
Zheng Fei felt that the person in front of him didn't seem to be a small officer...... His judgment and analytical skills are outstanding.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"People call me Sauron. ”
"Can you tell me what you did before you joined the army?"
"I'm sorry, I can't say that. Sauron pursed his lips and smiled: "Anyway, I want you to take me and my soldiers, I can see that this fleet is very harmonious under your command, which shows that you are a wise man, unlike our Danish king." ”
Zheng Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and was about to respond, but he heard a slightly flustered voice not far away.
"My God...... Mr. Solon, why are you here? Am I dazzled?"
Duke Tuckerman, who had just stepped onto the deck, rubbed his eyes incredulously. (To be continued.) )
