The Cape of Good Hope, the cape of good hope, the name of the red-haired fanfan, as long as you pass here, there is the gold of Mozambique, the coveted India, the porcelain and silk and tea of China, and the spices of Southeast Asia are waiting to make a lot of money.

The location is in the southernmost part of Africa, where the mountains and the water intersect, the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean meet, equal to the two giants fighting, plus the impact of the sea water from the Antarctic also come to join in the fun, the sea tide is uncertain, the wind and rain clouds are unpredictable, the long surge, the big wave is often more than ten meters high, it is a dangerous place where the sky is sunny and the sea is not two days and the sea is peaceful, and it is a violent wind and waves all year round.

Cape of Good Hope, Good Hope, Good Hope!

Voyagers have always regarded the Cape of Good Hope as a "ghost gate", and they are really relieved that they will be safe in the past, and they will "be happy after the three armies!" ”

This is the first time in the history of the Chinese fleet, and even the first time in Chinese to cross the Cape of Good Hope, for the Chinese seafarers, for the Chinese self-built domestic ships is a severe test!

In order to prepare for this time, in accordance with the characteristics of the Southeast Prefecture, the principal officers of each ship specially went to the flagship to hold a meeting, emphasizing discipline and customs clearance matters, and after returning home, each ship conveyed the spirit of the meeting, and must work hard, obey orders, and the three ships can pass the customs safely!

Before passing the customs, a safety team headed by the captain was set up to organize personnel to inspect all parts of the ship, tie up the things that should be tied, close the vents that should be closed, and make emergency preparations.

Of course, there is an important link, worship Mazu Niangniang!

Although everyone was uncertain whether they would get her help from such a long distance from her ruling area, everyone still sincerely prayed for her old man's blessing: the ship passes the customs, and the people are safe!

"Fish, flying fish!" A sailor was amazed when he saw many flying fish coming out of the sea with wings longer than the fish themselves, and called out to everyone to see them.

"Look, there's a big shark!"

"Chang Chung is here too! It looks like a storm is coming. ”

Sailors were on deck talking about these storm signs.

"The seagulls here are so big!"

Everyone was amazed that the seagulls here were indeed large, four times larger than the silver gulls commonly seen on the southeast coast, and their bodies were black, with long, sharp, sickle-shaped wings, circling and flying on the surface of the sea.

On the bridge, the officers gathered to discuss the sea conditions, and Costeit said unceremoniously: "The storm is coming from the other side of the Atlantic, and the striker is almost reaching the Cape of Good Hope, we must speed up the voyage and try to cross the Cape of Good Hope before the storm comes!" ”

"The opinion of the chief of staff is my opinion, and now he is in charge of commanding, and all people must obey his orders!" Hong Guan said.

At this critical moment, Costeit took over the command and commanded the warship's course and sail operations.

The flagship retracted the canopy of the mast sails, and the starboard side faced the wind, receiving the strong winds from the Indian Ocean and rushing to the Atlantic!

Under his command, the flagship is like a wheel on the smooth oil surface of the rapid forward, but everyone is not worried, because the family has an old man, it is a treasure.

There were Officer Hong, two navigators and a helmsman and a non-commissioned officer who listened to orders on the bridge, and it was very crowded.

This was a rare learning opportunity, but the deputy captain sent Officer Hong to the gun deck in case he was taken away.

"Guys, that's the Cape of Good Hope! Look at the hillside over there. Costet reminded.

The officers all held up their binoculars and saw that the undulating slope at the mouth of the Cape of Good Hope was covered with a layer of yellow, orange and orange sand, and there was a building more than ten meters high with a white cross, which was a church.

But it was obviously in vain, the Cape of Good Hope is really the famous Roaring Cape, everyone saw that the sea water there was rolling, spinning, waves flying, whistling, it was indeed a well-deserved wind and waves, the three ships in the southeast were not afraid in the face of the wind and waves, cleaving the waves, and moving forward bravely.

We are approaching the turning point of the course, and there is a turbulent scene ahead, and the sea blossoms like a boiling cauldron!

In the face of the fierce waves, the warship marched forward with its head held high with heroic and heroic spirit, showing the incomparably mighty momentum of the Chinese warship!

The mountain-like waves, "whoosh, whoosh" one after another, slammed into the side of the cruiser, the cruiser shook and tilted sharply, and the mast had already submerged into the water of the crest!

The atmosphere in the bridge was solemn, the soldiers grabbed the handrails, a good red-haired fan, Kostet's two keen and bright eyes, staring intently at the roaring sea, calmly directing the sailboat forward, he took advantage of the gap between the two wave peaks, timely issued a decisive and powerful rudder order, and gradually changed the navigation of the warship.

The waves were rushing and the waves were splashing, covering the glazed windows, and there was a white expanse in front of him, and he didn't know where he was, but Kostet gave one order after another, as if a blind captain were in command, but his voice was so confident that everyone felt very calm.

"Left Rudder Five!"

"The helm is set!" Costit shouted.

Suddenly, the people on the bridge heard a cheer from the open-air deck outside: "Rush over!" ”

"Rushed past the Cape of Good Hope!" People are beaming.

Hong Guan pounced on the right side of the bridge, opened the binoculars and looked, ah, the white cross building I saw just now had fallen behind the right side of the warship!

"Captain, hold on!" Kaustit shouted.

Hong Guan grabbed the handrail and let out a long sigh of relief.

The Cape of Good Hope, although the wind is still roaring and the waves are empty, but compared with before, it has lost a lot of power.

Moving forward again, the wind and waves continued to lighten, and the flagship slowed down, waiting for the other two ships behind.

It seemed that after a long time, Hong Guan's heart gradually lifted, and suddenly he smiled.

The Kaohsiung 78 ship appeared, and then the Yaksha 12 ship also appeared!

Under the control of the Chinese, the three southeast ships strode forward, chopped through the wind and waves, and marched forward bravely, finally leaving the dangerous wind and waves behind, and became the first Chinese fleet to cross the Cape of Good Hope!

The three ships carried out flag communication and reported the situation, and miraculously there were no major dangers, and not a single sailor was lost.

Kaustit exclaimed, "This is the blessing of Mazu, and the glory of the leader shines!" ”

He said to everyone with emotion: "I have crossed the Cape of Good Hope six times before, and each time it happened that either people would die or the ship would not sink, and the best one was the ship was damaged and the mast was broken, and this time it was the easiest!" ”

Everyone thought, "This is easy, we are all scared!" ”

At this time, the Southern Cross, a ----constellation that the southeast Chinese had never seen before, appeared in the sky, and they blinked their eyes and showed smiling faces, as if they were welcoming the arrival of the Chinese heroes! u
