These discussions and complaints from young people will naturally reach Gu Jin's ears, so he decisively convened this discussion meeting.

Captain Gu is very concerned about the emotions of the crew, probably this is his professional habit, a group of people have been floating alone on the sea for a long time, as a leader, he usually attaches great importance to group emotions.

Now, karma has taken advantage of the meeting, and he is back to such a leader, and a strong sense of responsibility requires him to adjust everyone's emotions in time and guide everyone's attention to where they should be concerned.

And Gu Jin also knew that as a captain, he had absolute authority on this ship, and he could completely veto everyone's landing proposal with a word of disagreement, but he didn't want to do things so simplistically, until the critical moment of survival, simple and crude solutions always had many side effects, and if the problem was not solved ideologically, this team would become more and more difficult to lead.

At this time, in the restaurant, hearing the discussions of the young people, it had begun to be crooked, and Gu Jin felt that it was time to come forward to speak.

So he slowly stood up from the chair in the corner of the dining room, and he quickly looked around the room.

Sure enough, the captain was the captain, and before Gu Jin could speak, the venue immediately became a lot quieter.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he sat back in his chair and spoke in a very sincere tone:

"You're all right about the next landing site, but the problem is, our main mission on this voyage is to Sulu, everyone! Now that we have been at sea for ten days, don't forget, we expect a month-long trip of seven or eight thousand kilometers, and now we have only walked less than one-tenth of it.

So, I'm afraid I'm a little nervous about this time. And anyway, what Dr. Duan told you just now is the truth, of course, the main factor is still in me, I am more worried about everyone's safety, and I am worried that the time will drag on and delay things.

And I want to advise you, don't be too superstitious about the AK47 in your hand, don't forget, when we beat away the natives in Weipa, our sharp firearms are only one of the reasons, in fact, the main reason is that we were lucky enough to scare the red and blue tribes! Let's think about it, everyone, if the hearts of the people are crossed, and there is a wave of hundreds of people, it is very likely that a few of them in the north will be confessed in Weipa!

So now I'm a little scared when I think about this, and tell everyone that according to historical records, the indigenous population of Papua is many times larger than that of Australia, and most of them are more fierce cannibals, so I don't approve of the landing proposal......"

Everyone saw that the captain had talked about this, and sure enough, no one said anything about landing.

Gu Jin does have absolute authority on the ship, but he rarely uses this authority, in most cases, Gu Jin always plays the role of a host, allowing everyone to fully express their opinions, in fact, this is one of the reasons why Captain Gu has a high prestige in the eyes of everyone.

Therefore, Captain Gu seems to have such a "leader charm" by nature, so he usually doesn't say it, but once he comes up with an idea, everyone consciously obeys, and they agree and follow it convincingly.

Indeed, since the Weipa landing operation, Gu Jin really didn't want to engage in a similar operation again. He now knew very well that it was dangerous to land in the primeval jungle and indigenous places in this era, especially in the South Sea Islands, which were full of wild and dangerous animals and cannibals.

He felt that now he was taking a group of children to go to sea for an ocean expedition was already a very rebellious thing, and doing too much on the landing expedition or something was undoubtedly death, how can there be a saying? That's right, it's called "Temptation on the edge of danger." ”

Yes, the current act of landing in the Savage Lands is the best commentary on this sentence.

In a word, land is more dangerous than the sea, and where there are people is more dangerous than where there are people, although there are storms at sea, it is really nothing compared to the danger on land, so it is safer to stay on the ship.

However, at this time, Xu Zhi raised his hand to ask the captain for instructions, and took out a map in his hand, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Gu Jin had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Captain Gu, I think there is a place where you can land and have a look......"

Xu Zhi spread out the map in his hand and spread it on the dining table, pointed to a place, and saw everyone gathered around, Xu Zhi further explained:

"Before we set off, a few brothers from the Huotang Club, including Ren Kewei @ Hong, found me, Beiguo and Lawyer Li to chat together......"

Xu Zhi raised his head and explained to Gu Jin when he said this:

"Because some of them can't go to sea, they talked to us about the landing expedition of this voyage, and we think that in addition to landing in Weipa, there is another place that should be visited on this voyage, and that is ...... here."

Xu Zhi said and pointed his finger at a point on the map.

As far as everyone's eyes could see, they saw that the place Xu Zhi was pointing to was a twin island hundreds of kilometers west of Papua Island, and then Xu Zhi pointed to this twin island and said:

"This is it, the Cay Islands in the south of the Moluccas."

"It doesn't seem to be far from our scheduled route......"

At this time, someone in the crowd of onlookers said.

"This is the only way to go north from Australia to the South Seas, but it seems to be going into the territory of the Dutch......"

"This ...... It's part of the Spice Islands! The landing here on the territory strictly controlled by the Dutch seems to be in conflict with our initial development strategy, right? ”

"Yes, doesn't it mean that we should try to avoid conflicts of interest with various forces in the South Seas in the early stage of development?"

At this time, many people in the crowd questioned.

"Yes, but it is precisely because of this that the Huotang Club did not propose this landing plan at the plenary meeting, but they emphasized that the landing exploration is still necessary, which is the result of repeated discussions and deductions in their Huotang Club.

Of course, Beiguo and I just listened and didn't express our position, as if Ren Ke didn't ask our opinions, but just put forward his discussion with the Huotang Club. ”

At this time, Ren Ke continued Xu Zhi's words and said:

"Let me explain that we are talking about this archipelago because we think it means a lot to us, even more so than Wepa, so please listen to me and comment on it when I am done......

As Ren Ke spoke, he raised his head and glanced around at everyone before continuing:

"You are right, this is indeed part of the Spice Islands, however, this archipelago is a corner that the Dutch have never paid attention to, the main reason is that there are no natives here, it is an uninhabited desert island, in the eyes of the Dutch who have always been based on commercial trade, since this place cannot find labor to help them grow cloves and nutmeg, there are no patches of wild nutmeg and cloves, and there is no town with consumption power and purchasing power, then this place is meaningless to the Dutch, originally, To do business, you have to go to a populated place, right? Therefore, the Dutch do not pay attention to this at all. ”

"There are no natives, and there don't seem to be any natural resources......"

"I think so, at least there's wood."

"It seems that the only role of this archipelago is to resupply it halfway."

Someone in the crowd looked at the map and couldn't help but point out a few points.

"Actually, that's not all, guys, Uncle Wang once told us that he plans to find a place to grow all kinds of spices, and that place is suitable for growing more than nutmeg and cloves."

It was Wei Dongli who spoke at this time.

"yes, and tobacco and hemp......"

Li Dewei also added on the side.

"What's hemp?"

"Do you know?"

"I don't know ......"
