Chapter 320: Whereabouts are erratic
Danbiel disagreed, took the glass from William's hand, got up and poured a glass of whiskey: "You've been out of prison for so long, why haven't you taken the time to have a drink." ”
"This is not a question that a wise man like you should ask," William poured himself a glass of wine, "and you said that I had just gone to the slums to maintain order and prevent riots, and when I came into close contact with the civilians, did I have a sloppy and unkempt countenance, or was I well dressed and drunk?"
Danpier was unimpressed by William's ridicule, raised his glass to him, and sincerely admired: "You are always so cautious. ”
"The people down there can be careless, we can't," William didn't drink the wine directly this time, took a sip, and savored it, "So, what's going on in the windless belt there? Is there anything unusual?"
Danbiel said confidently: "Don't worry, the traps have been arranged, just waiting for the prey to be delivered to the door by itself." ”
……
That night, William and the others sailed away, taking with them the garrison who had defected with them, as well as the captured navy.
William kept looking at the harbor in the distance, and Ah Jin asked calmly beside him, "Where are we going next, first hide back in the windless belt to avoid the limelight?"
William withdrew his gaze from the port, looked at Ah Jin, and then looked at the sea in the distance, and did not answer directly, but laughed and said, "I guess Karp must be rushing back in a hurry, so why rush back to the windless zone in a panic?"
William and Akin were talking on the boat, and in Kalmar City, because the people who usually maintained order in the city had left, and there were many civilians gathered in the port, the city was very insecure at this time, and when everyone was almost not paying attention, a group of men with weapons took the opportunity to sneak into the noble quarter, and the local nobles who had escaped by luck had not recovered from the day's slaughter before they encountered another group of thugs.
When Karp finally returned to the city from the bridge kingdom "Takira Wolff" with several lieutenant generals Stoloberry and Dauberman, the originally prosperous aristocratic district was already shaped like a ghost domain, and they were facing a disorderly city where the old and new rulers had disappeared.
Several lieutenant generals could hardly contain their anger, even Karp, who had been the most nervous.
It's not just because of the situation they're facing.
After Karp and the others arrived at the kingdom of "Tequira Wolf" on the bridge, they were all ready to fight, but here, except for the arrest of those third-rate pirates who were coaxed by Danbier and stupidly threw themselves into the net, they did not encounter even any important cadres of the Morgan group.
They had been patrolling the waters near the bridge for a long time, waiting for the impossible Morgan Pirates, but what they were waiting for was the news of the chaos in Kalmar City.
And on the way, they also learned the news of the live broadcast, Smoker and Dalmesia, a lieutenant general, a lieutenant colonel, were all severely injured by William, and all this happened in front of the eyes of the people of the East China Sea, the face of the navy was lost.
"So, Lieutenant Colonel T. Penn died, Lieutenant Colonel Smoker and Lieutenant General Dalmesia were taken prisoner, and Major Arkin defected?
Before William left, he searched for the navy soldiers, and deliberately left some fish that slipped through the net to pass on information to Karp and others.
The Navy soldier probably rarely saw Karp really angry, and lowered his head in some fear, and whispered.
Lieutenant General Stoloberg squinted his eyes and asked in a condensed voice, "How did they come to Kalmar City so quickly? ”
The steamship is William's top secret, and although this matter will be made public sooner or later with the promotion of the steamship, William hopes that this "secret weapon" can play a surprise role before the world knows about it, so he even before the arrival of the navy, he removed the Momiji Village and the staff involved in the construction of the steamship, and even before the arrival of the navy, the Four Seas Trading Company and the Five Business Information Department had begun to spread rumors and false information around the East China Sea.
Not to mention that after Karp and the others came to the East China Sea, because the operation went smoothly at the beginning and they directly arrested William, they were a little careless and did not do too much investigation, even if they could have presciently investigated the matter of the steamship from the beginning, and it would take some time to understand the truth, Stoloberg's question is very normal.
"They were in a kind of black ship, with no sails on deck, only high chimneys. The Navy soldier gestured.
The early steamships were often painted black, because the steam engines at that time were relatively primitive, and the black smoke and dust constantly emitted from the chimney would look very dirty once they fell on the hull, and the anticorrosive paints such as asphalt on the hull were also black, so the choice to paint the ship black was not only trouble-free, but also very deterrent.
William's current steamship is also in a similar situation, and a take-it-it activist like William, the methods and means are easy to use, must choose to follow suit, the hull is blackened, whether it has a deterrent effect is another matter, but it is very conspicuous is certain, so almost all the navy, as long as they have been to the port, have seen the ships that William and his group were riding at that time, they are very impressed.
"Steamship!?"
The three lieutenant generals, Karp, Stoloberg, and Dauberman, shouted almost in unison.
The scientific and technological level of the navy and the world government can be said to be leading the world, and the steamship has actually been in the naval laboratory for a long time, but for various reasons, it has not been mass-produced, and many naval soldiers have not even heard of this kind of ship, but with the status of the three vice admirals in the field, they naturally know something.
"We really underestimated him, we didn't expect the steamship to let him get out, the kingdom of Navia was not known for its technology in the first place. Karp said to Stoloberry and Dauberman.
There was still some confusion on Stoloberg's face: "But it still doesn't explain some of the questions, such as how Morgan William's men were assembled and where they ran away during the previous time." ”
Dauberman said coldly: "What I'm most worried about now is that after they rescue Morgan William, they will continue to hide, like a turtle with a shrunken head, and my worry is likely to come true, looking at their previous series of movements, like a group of rats, they will only make some small moves, they know very well that they are not our opponents, maybe they are ready to escape from the East China Sea now, we had better block the Upside Down Mountain as soon as possible." ”
As soon as Dauberman's voice fell, a telephone rang suddenly, and Stoloberg hurriedly answered, and heard the telephone bug imitate a somewhat anxious voice: "This is 'Tchira Wolf', Lieutenant General, no, Morgan William has brought someone here." ”
