Chapter 779: Deterrence

"Why don't you speak?" Rose asked me with a smile.

"I don't know what to say!" I smiled wryly and spoke my heart.

I don't think I need to lie to Rose, because she can surely guess what I'm thinking, and if I hide it, I'll be hypocritical.

Rose laughed: "Don't you feel embarrassed? ”

Without waiting for me to speak, Rose continued, "Don't you think it's not a good thing to have more women around?" I think you should lose a few women! ”

At the end, Rose laughed again.

I thought to myself, is it possible to lose a few? No matter who I lose, I can't bear it.

I said to Rose, "Rose, I still have something to do here, so I won't talk to you, if you have anything, we'll talk about it later." ”

It's not that I don't want to talk to Ross anymore, it's that I don't know how to talk to her.

Instead of that, hang up.

Rose sighed and said, "I'm joking with you, you don't have to!" ”

Although Rose was joking with me, her words touched my heart. I really can't talk to her anymore.

Rose, hearing that I didn't speak, sighed and said, "Since that's the case, let's hang up!" ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, I got it." ”

Hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but sigh again, to be honest, I really don't want to hang up, I haven't spoken to Rose for so long, I especially want to talk to her.

It's just that Ross is so embarrassed that I don't know how to answer.

It's like a person talking to me, I say east, but he always talks to me west, I say south but he says north, how can we talk about this kind of thing.

I guess Ross was also depressed at the moment, and we were chatting amicably, but hung up because of a few topics that shouldn't be discussed.

Neither I nor Ross can be blamed for this.

We can only say that we said a few things that we shouldn't have said during a time period when we shouldn't have spoken.

Lin Xuan walked up to me and laughed: "Brother Nan, we finally have a weapon." I didn't think that we would one day have such a weapon. ”

I said, "There's a lot you don't know, so go and set up those weapons!" ”

Lin Xuan nodded, turned around and left.

I stood alone on the island, looking around the island, wondering in my mind when the island would be able to function properly and become an island of both defense and attack.

At that point, everything here will be ours. It belongs to us now, but once someone fights for it, everything here will be gone from us.

So I hope to build this place in the shortest possible time, and also to put this place on the right track in the shortest possible time, and then we will rely on this place to further expand outward, and use this sea area to become a self-sufficient, offensive and defensive island.

At dinner in the evening, Lin Xuan and the others told me all about today's weapons arrangement.

They said that after we had these big guys, we would no longer be afraid of mercenaries organizing them.

I think so too.

As long as we have these weapons, we have the power to defend the island.

Two days later, I was lying in bed reading a book when my phone rang suddenly.

I picked it up and looked at it, and said that Lin Xuan called: "Brother Nan, come and go." I saw a ship coming towards us. ”

This ship was neither Kim Meier's ship nor Rose's.

I nodded and said, "Okay, you wait a minute." ”

Hanging up the phone, I got up and left the room.

After coming to the highest point of the island, I took the telescope in Lin Xuan's hand, and followed the direction that Lin Xuan pointed, and I looked southwest.

I saw a steamer speeding toward our island with a flag I didn't recognize.

I asked Lin Xuan, "Have you communicated with them?" ”

Lin Xuan nodded: "We asked them with electronic devices, and they didn't say anything, and kept driving towards us." ”

I wondered, "Could they not have received our signal?" ”

Lin Xuan shook his head: "Brother Nan, we are using a short-wave signal, it is impossible for them not to receive our signal." This fifty-mile radius of ships can pick up our signals. I don't believe their communications equipment is broken. ”

Hearing Lin Xuan say this, I nodded: "Communicate with them again, and if they don't speak, shoot them with rockets." ”

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll communicate with them again." ”

With that, Lin Xuan turned around and left.

I also followed Lin Xuan to the communication equipment room, Lin Xuan picked up the communication equipment, and shouted loudly inside: "The ship ahead, the ship ahead, listen, your current location has entered the protective range of our archipelago, I ask you to stop immediately, otherwise we will be rude to you." ”

Although Lin Xuan said this, our radar showed that the other party listened to us at all and still drove towards us quickly.

I turned to the translator and said, "You say it in English." ”

The interpreter nodded and shouted something in English.

The other party still did not react.

I turned to the other two interpreters and said, "Say all the languages you know." ”

The other two interpreters shouted in French, Spanish, and Korean, but there was still no response.

It seems that the other party deliberately did not talk to us.

I think it's highly likely that they're from the mercenary organization.

Lin Xuan said to me, "Brother Nan, what should we do?" ”

I sneered, "Call me." ”

Hearing me say this, Lin Xuan nodded, picked up the phone and called the little brother who was guarding the rocket launcher.

With a "buzz", the rocket launcher was launched and exploded on the opponent's ship.

At first, I thought that the rocket launchers would not necessarily hit the opponent's ship, but only on the surface of the sea nine times out of ten.

What I didn't expect was that the first shot actually hit the opponent's ship.

I asked curiously, "Lin Xuan, have they been trained before?" ”

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "No." Brother Nan, you don't know, the weapons now are very advanced, generally controlled by computers, fool-like operation, locked the opponent through computer calculations, and only need to press the button to hit the target. ”

It's the first time I've heard of anything like this, and it's hard to imagine.

It seems that I should learn these common senses, but I don't even know these things.

Lin Xuan then asked me, "Brother Nan, do you want to sink them?" ”

I asked curiously, "Can it be sunk?" ”

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "No problem, we have thirty rockets, which is enough to sink one of their ships." ”

I furrowed my brows and asked Lin Xuan, "Under normal circumstances, how many rockets do you need to sink a ship?" ”

"Twenty-eight or so."

"No, you can't fight, if you sink them, we'll have one or two rockets left, what should we do next time?"

Actually, I'd love to sink them, but I can't.

If I do that, the next time we encounter a similar situation, we can't use rockets. It also loses its deterrent power, which is equivalent to nuclear weapons, which are strategic weapons, not tactical weapons.

Having it is not really going to war, but putting it over there to scare people, letting others know that we have nuclear weapons here, and you better not mess with me.

It's the same with our rockets now, which are put here to deter others, not to really hit others.

Hearing me say this, Lin Xuan nodded and said to me, "Brother Nan, I didn't expect you to go so far. ”

I smiled and didn't speak.

Lin Xuan pointed to the screen on the radar and said, "Brother Nan, look at these guys, after we hit a rocket, they were so frightened that they immediately turned the bow of the boat and ran. ”

I thought about it and said to Lin Xuan, "Tell the brothers, give them another one." ”

Lin Xuan didn't understand why I was doing this, because I had just said it clearly, I wouldn't let him fire any more rockets, and now I asked him to hit one more, and one hit would be one less.

I laughed and said, "Give him another one to make him think that we are chasing them, so that they will not dare to come next time." If we only hit one, we might come back when they run away. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Lin Xuan suddenly realized when he heard this: "I understand, Brother Nan, I'll just give the order." ”

Lin Xuan picked up the phone and called his younger brother again.

After receiving the order, the younger brother who fired the cannon fired another rocket at the steamer.

With a "boom", a mushroom cloud rose from the ship. The skyrocketing flames consumed everything on the deck.

Lin Xuan laughed: "I hit it again." ”

I nodded and said nothing.

More than ten minutes later, the other party's ship left our sight and disappeared into the vast sea.

I stood in the equipment room and said to Lin Xuan, "After these guys run away, they will definitely not dare to come back." We've had a good day in the last few days, and we've been able to have a good time. ”

Lin Xuan nodded: "Brother Nan, in that case, let's kill a few pigs at night to celebrate!" ”

There is nothing to eat on this island, all of them are brought in from the outside, and everyone eats very simple, especially meat, which is available in limited quantities.

Unlike in every country and at home, as long as you have money, you can eat as much as you want.

It's not the same here, you can't buy it with money. Fortunately, we raised hundreds of pigs, and when they grew up, we killed and ate them.

Now that Lin Xuan has brought it up, I can't refute his face: "Okay, you can go and kill a few pigs today, so that everyone can satisfy their hunger." ”

Hearing me say this, Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Nan." ”

At dinner in the evening, I put a plate of fragrant braised pork on my table, and when I smell the meat, I think of domestic braised pork, which tastes exactly the same as domestic braised pork.

Whether it is smelling or looking, it can arouse people's appetite.
