Chapter 85 Emergency Meeting
The waves were rolling and lapping against the moving sailboat.
The three stood at the bow of the boat, staring ahead.
Nangong Yu said his guess, although it was a guess, but in the eyes of Massimo and Anna, it had become a fact.
The Vilaneua Pirates have been manipulated by the mysterious forces.
The Venetian fleet led by Alger had already set off, and it was too late to catch up.
Even if it was in time, I am afraid that Alger would not be able to lead the fleet back, so he could only continue to move forward. His expedition was well known throughout the country, and if he returned on the spot, it would probably be an unparalleled blow to the morale of the whole of Venice.
Ordinary soldiers and civilians can no matter what danger you encounter, it will be a great shame for Alger to return home in fear without even seeing the enemy.
Only by continuing to move forward, even if you die on the battlefield, you can't be a deserter.
After about half a day, the sailboat finally arrived at Ragusa.
The ship sailed into the dock of the base and dropped anchor to collect the sails. The marina is now about the size of the marina in Ragusa, and is now ready to moor medium-sized boats, with almost no reefs to worry about.
The towering buildings that originally stood around were retained by Nangong Yu as his own watchtower to monitor the situation around the base. Behind the wharf, there are dense rows of neat bungalows, enough for thousands of people to live, each door has two small trees, swinging in the wind, and there are some daily necessities in front of the door, which looks like an ordinary residential area. It's the purpose of hiding people's eyes and ears.
Further in, there are no more bungalows, but some high-rise buildings under construction. The cellar where the gold coins were found has been preserved, and the buildings on it have not been altered, and they are still ordinary-looking bungalows. According to Jim's request, save as much as he can, and use the gold where it is really needed. In the building where Maxim originally lived, according to Nangong Yu's requirements, a large space was dug underneath. The entrance is behind the main hall, and there are two stone doors at the door, in addition to a space for 100 people to train, at the request of Nangong Yu, several separate rooms have also been built, and here is Nangong Yu's real secret base!
Only those who have excellent training performance in ordinary times can obtain the qualification to train in this secret room, where Nangong Yu will teach them true martial arts. The trained personnel are rotated every month, and each time the personnel are not connected. In the eyes of these soldiers trained by Nangong Yu, it is a rare honor to be able to enter here. Entering the secret room represents Nangong Yu's true recognition of himself! Therefore, in order to enter the secret room every month, every soldier is training himself like crazy, and his overall strength has been greatly improved in half a year.
When the four soldiers guarding the stone gate saw Nangong Yu coming, they all bowed down and saluted, opening the closed stone door, Nangong Yu did not stop, and while walking in with Anna Massimo, he ordered: "Let Marco and Anthony come to the secret room, and in addition, inform all the soldiers who can enter the secret room this month to come to the secret room to gather." ”
Several people agreed, and each went out to inform them.
After a while, many of the people asked by Nangong Yu came to Nangong Yu's secret room.
It is said to be a secret room, but it is actually a large stone cellar, with only a few simple tables and chairs. In front of the surrounding walls, there are huge bookshelves, one space after another separating countless small spaces, and some papers full of words are neatly placed inside. Each space has the name of the country or family written on it.
These are the information that Rosa has collected in Venice and neighboring countries in the past six months, and every once in a while, someone will come to sort it out, organize all the accumulated information in an orderly manner, and add it to the marked spaces. At this point, it is quite like the imperial study in the palace of Nangong Yu in his previous life. All the people who can be qualified to enter here are all Nangong Yu's henchmen, and Nangong Yu's current forces are well-deserved core figures!
Everyone stood with their hands down, and their eyes were full of admiration, admiration, and awe in their eyes when they looked at Nangong Yu! Although Nangong Yu looked amiable and understanding outside, in this secret room, he was indeed a Satan-like figure. Nangong Yu was originally born in Jinyiwei, and in the face of urgent matters at this time, the murderous aura on his body kept rolling, and in front of Nangong Yu, everyone had a feeling of falling into an ice cellar.
Nangong Yu slowly sat down in the first place, and Anna and Massimo stood behind him with cold faces, thinking about everyone with a faint gaze.
Everyone respects Nangong Yu, and they also dare not underestimate these two people, they all know that these two people are the most trusted people by Nangong Yu, and these two people are also the highest status noble heirs in Venice.
Anthony, Marco stood in the first row, and like the other soldiers, stood there quietly, although they usually laughed and played, but in this secret room, no one was allowed to move. Behind them were the ten orphans trained by Nangong Yu himself.
Glancing at everyone lightly, Nangong Yu said indifferently: "Sit down." ”
In response, everyone quietly sat down in their positions. A pair of eyes looked at Nangong Yu, and they all knew that Nangong Yu was afraid that he would have something big to tell him.
Nangong Yu had a calm face, looked at the well-trained people in front of him, and said, "You have been training here for half a year. ”
Everyone nodded.
Nangong Yu said: "Today, we are already facing unprecedented challenges, I don't know if you are ready!"
Everyone responded in unison: "My lord, we are ready." ”
Nangong Yu nodded: "Okay, Massimo, you tell everyone about the general situation of the Villanueva Pirate Regiment." ”
Massimo replied, "Yes!" and stepped forward and recounted the basic situation of Villanueva in a loud voice.
"Villanueva, known as the Adriatic Pirate King. There are four fleets under his command, and the most dangerous of them, the one led by Villanueva himself, is currently in the Black Sea, flying the Venetian flag and carrying out piracy. My brother, Alger Gallo, is currently leading the Venetian National Fleet to the Black Sea to destroy it. ”
"Anna, tell me about the situation in the Ottoman Empire. ”
Anna also stepped forward and said, "Yes"
"The Ottoman Empire, more than 30 years ago, led an army of 80,000 to attack Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, and after 53 days of fierce fighting, conquered Constantinople and established the city as the capital of the country. Now there were about 120,000 troops, more than 40 sailing ships, and they controlled the main trade routes. ”
Nangong Yu nodded, and said, "Anthony, tell me about our basic situation now. ”
Anthony took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "We currently have about two thousand soldiers, four sailing ships, and we have not fought any battles yet. ”
Nangong Yu continued: "Marco, how long will it take for our flagship to be completed?"
Marco said: "Yesterday, Jim had arranged for his merchants to bring in iron, and at the current rate, the flagship could be launched in five days. ”
Nangong Yu shook his head, "Three days, I'll give you three days." Three days later, in the evening, I want to see the flagship sailing at sea, but is there a problem?"
Marco gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, but more manpower is needed." ”
Nangong Yu said: "Okay, Anthony, you can arrange it!"
Anthony nodded and said, "Yes!"
Immediately afterwards, Nangong Yu stood up abruptly and announced loudly: "Now, I order everyone to enter a state of combat readiness, and in three days, we will go to the Black Sea!"
