Leaving Sofala, my fleet began to move south against the wind, and recently made its third trip to the Cape of Good Hope. Without the storm, everything seemed so peaceful and quiet, but my mood was the opposite, and indescribable feelings lingered in my heart......

There is only one reason - Huamei.

Originally, I thought she had changed her mind, so I accepted the feelings of Kite and Lan from the bottom of my heart. Between appreciation and companionship, I chose companionship.

But now, Hua Mei, who has been absent for a long time, has returned to her side, and has made a powerful explanation of her previous farewell. Judging from her recent performances in all aspects, it should be objectively said that she is exactly the kind of woman I need most - she can go up to the hall, go down to the kitchen, fight pirates, and be a captain. All aspects also have a high evaluation of her, even from the perspective of vulgarity, appearance is justice, she is perfect, isn't she?

But I can't make that simple choice, can I? When I needed it most, it was the kite that accompanied me; When I faced danger, it was the kite that accompanied me; When I was helpless and hesitating, it was the kite that accompanied me; When I was in pain and lonely, it was still the kite that accompanied me.

Especially, when I am facing life and death, the kite uses her life to protect me, how can I do anything to be sorry for her in all aspects?

The evening breeze on the aft deck is very comfortable on the face, looking at the sunset like blood, and the endless sea, the seabirds are chirping softly and flying freely, and the heart is also very comfortable. I don't know if my mood is reflected on my face, but I know that I am quietly facing Hua Mei, not knowing what to say.

"You're still blaming me, are you? Qilan. Hua Mei's voice suddenly came, she tilted her head slightly, and looked at me with a smile, just like the good times when we were in Jingshi.

"Alas......" I let out a long sigh, not knowing what to answer. Admittedly, I am not without a problem with her, but what shall I say? Yes, I'm a small-bellied chicken intestine, I just bite it, I'm just awkward to the end?

"I know, you're sad about kites, and so am I." Hua Mei's expression was very depressed. At the beginning on the desert island, Kite and Hua Mei have formed a friendship, although because of me, it is impossible for them to be close to each other, but people who walk on the sea all the year round, who is not precarious, how can there be so many hurdles that cannot be overcome?

"Well, I mean, the biggest thing I'm worried about right now is getting the kite to wake up as soon as possible. I don't know if you understand how I feel. I whispered.

"Of course, Qilan. The kite is willing to give his life for you! Such a great love, no matter who it is, will be full of admiration. Hua Mei said very sincerely: "I'll accompany you, okay?" I'm not going to leave again, you're not going to chase me away, are you? ”

I was silent for a while, smiled, tilted my head and said, "To be honest, I'm very happy to have you back." But ......"

A hint of distress appeared on my face. Yes, I'm not focused on one person, but I know who's really good for me. So I love kites more and more, more and more! It wasn't until after her accident that I realized that my heart had really been fully possessed by her!

But am I really ruthless to Huamei? Alas, it's hard to put it into words, it's hard to say it! In fact, my heart is really entangled, if Hua Mei doesn't come back, I can certainly concentrate on the kite, and Lan. But whenever I hear from her, my heart always tightens. Knowing that she was in danger, I couldn't help but save her.

The kite was injured and unconscious because of this, and I have been blaming myself for a long time, but if I do it again, can I really not save Hua Mei from death?

No way, I can't do it! Ask myself, I know I'm going to make that choice.

Just as I was thinking hard, Hua Mei had already come over, sat beside me, gently wrapped her arms around my neck, put her head on my shoulder, and said softly, "I'll accompany you!" All right? ”

I was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and when I looked up, it was Arashi.

Lan walked over quickly, and just wanted to speak, but when she saw Hua Mei hugging my neck and leaning against me, her eyes suddenly darkened. When Hua Mei saw someone coming, she slowly let go of her hand and sat beside me upright.

Lan smiled politely at Hua Mei before turning to me and saying, "Sir, there's the Cape of Good Hope ahead." Old Tucker meant that we should not cling to the coast of West Africa and go up another thirty nautical miles or so to the east and then north to St. George's. It should be safer this way. ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Chen Kui and I also mean the same thing." ”

I stood up and whispered, "Good! Let's go to the captain's room to study! Lan nodded, glanced at Hua Mei again, and then took the lead towards the captain's room. Hua Mei also stood up after me, and followed me step by step.

Forget it, let's see, who knows what the future holds? Leave everything to fate!

I sighed inwardly and followed Arashi into the captain's room.

The people involved were there, and I didn't talk much and sat down in the chair in front of me. Chen Kui spoke: "Captain, we have eliminated the Fifth Squadron of the Spanish Invincible Flotilla near here before, but I don't think this is a thing to be complacent. ”

I didn't make a sound, but looked at Chen Kui fixedly, and gestured for him to continue. Chen Kui opened another drawing next to the nautical chart, and the lighting was not good at night, so I approached and looked at it carefully.

When the others saw me come forward, they also came to me in order to keep up with my pace.

Drink! I really didn't see that Chen Kui was really an excellent talent in command and management - what he drew was nothing else, it was a set of histograms!

Of course, it is certainly not as accurate as modern PPT, but it still intuitively illustrates the problems we are currently facing.

Chen Kui's hand slowly slid from top to bottom, and he said in a deep voice: "Captain, this is the overall displacement of the Spanish Armada. ”

I nodded, staring intently. I saw that the Fifth Squadron that we defeated had been painted with a black X, apparently, indicating that it had disappeared, or rather, disbanded. There were a few small words marked on the back, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be three words: "displacement".

I see. Looking up the Fifth Fleet, the displacement of the Fourth Fleet is about half longer than that of the Fifth Fleet! So their displacement should be around fifteen thousand tons!

And continue to look up, the higher you go, the greater the drainage. By the time of the flagship, the displacement was almost fifteen times more than that of the Fifth Fleet!

I'll go! A fleet with a displacement of more than 150,000 tons and almost 200,000 tons?

According to the current displacement of ships and the proportion of ships, the main fleet of the Spanish Armada has at least one hundred and fifty warships!

Suddenly, I felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart. No wonder Chen Kui would say that! Coming from the future, I naturally know that the Spanish Armada is very powerful, but is it so powerful?

My current fleet, combined, is less than eight thousand tons! That's not an order of magnitude at all! How to fight it?

There was silence throughout the captain's room. I frowned and pondered, and suddenly, I remembered a question, so I asked in the eyes of everyone, "Chen Kui, have you mastered the movements of the Spaniard fleet?" ”

When Chen Kui heard me ask this question, he suddenly showed an indescribable smile, he moved his finger back to the nautical chart, slapped the whole slap on the new continent, that is, the Caribbean Sea, and said in a deep voice: "Before I go south, the main force of the Spanish Armada will gather in this area, competing with the British, Dutch, and Portuguese for control of the local area, I estimate that it will be difficult to separate for a while!" ”

A smile appeared on my face and I asked again, "What is the approximate proportion?" ”

Chen Kui said: "Seventy! ”

When I heard this, I burst out laughing. The people around me don't quite understand, the enemy is so strong, why am I laughing?

I looked around, and everyone had a puzzled look on their faces, except for ...... Huamei.

So I crossed my hands, smiled and asked, "Huamei, tell me, why am I laughing?" ”

Hua Mei glanced at me and said with a soft smile: "Qilan, you must have thought of the former overlord on the grassland!" ”

I laughed again, slapped the table hard, and said loudly: "Back then, I didn't really compete with the Jin people for hegemony on the grassland, and the Jin people only had about 100,000 troops, while the Jin people's strength was nearly one million!" ”

As I spoke, I spread my hands, slightly covered the North China region, and continued: "But I didn't really go to fight with the people of the Jin Kingdom!" They are like cutting meat with a knife, cutting 10,000 today and eating 20,000 tomorrow. Over time, the enemy's main forces are exhausted! And we can use this tactic as well! ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes showed a clear meaning, I withdrew my hands again and said lightly: "After all, no matter how many enemies there are, it is impossible for them all to come out at once!" As long as we remain vigilant and join forces with the hostile countries of Spain, we will be able to defeat this seemingly invincible Spanish Armada in a few years! ”

Morale is up again! Sometimes, people don't want any hard evidence to prove what works and what doesn't. Maybe it's just a person's belief, and a firm belief will burn the belief of a group, a team, and even a country!

Following the advice of Chen Kui and Old Tucker, the fleet did not go north directly after leaving the Cape of Good Hope, but first sailed westward even nautical miles, and then sailed straight north. This is also the most effective way to avoid the enemy's first round of retaliation!

I stood on the bow deck and let the cool night breeze blow on my face. Hua Mei's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Qilan, you are really a good leader!" ”

I didn't look back, but smiled and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Hua Mei stood beside me with a smile, leaning on the railing at the front of the deck, and let out a breath of heat, before smiling: "In that case, you can still maintain a strong fighting spirit and lead everyone out of the trough!" That's the most amazing commanding talent! ”

I turned my head to look at Hua Mei and said softly, "Then thank you for giving me the steps!" Otherwise, the effect is not so good! ”

Hua Mei looked at me with burning eyes and said sincerely: "I'm very happy to help you!" Qilan! ”

Looking into her eyes, I didn't know what to say. So he gave her a warm smile, turned his head to look ahead again, and said lightly: "I don't know what the road ahead is like!" ”

Hua Mei also looked ahead and said with a smile: "No matter what, let's go down together!" ”

The moonlight is like water, and the sea water enters the mirror......
