"Chief, we have arrived near Orchid Island! It's on our right! With the loud voice of the lookout hand in the microphone, Yang Feng walked quickly to the window and looked to the right in the direction of the boat, and there was indeed a green island looming on the ocean in the distance. Okay, got it, I'm going to check it out now. After Yang Feng finished speaking, he approached the microphone and switched to the microphone for communication in the cabin.

The large ships used in the Old World were mainly in-cabin communication devices, such as inter-post wired telephones, in-cabin cable broadcasting, and ship-wide limited broadcasting systems. At the beginning of the design of the Oriental Port, it was true that these communication systems inside and outside Tibet were designed on the drawings, but during the construction, the builders began to find that the electronic equipment manufactured by the existing technology was not only easily damaged, but also the laid lines were repeatedly gnawed and cut off by the rats who climbed up at some point. Such a loss made the shipyard and the design department completely cut off their thoughts, simply dismantled all the lines of the communication and broadcasting system, and then took a large number of thin steel pipes with a diameter of about four centimeters from the steel pipe factory and laid them in the cabin, and at the same time commissioned the hardware factory to produce a large number of trumpet-shaped interfaces, which were installed at the tail end of the steel pipe.

The advantage of this type of microphone communication is that it does not require much maintenance, and it is basically a complete worry after the installation is completed, and this kind of communication equipment is common on naval ships in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the old world. Because of the material of the thin steel pipe, which is four centimeters in diameter, even if there are mice on the ship, they will not bite this steel pipe, and even if it is, it is impossible to bite it. Its laying is simple, the use is even simpler, as long as you speak loudly to the speaker interface, the sound wave oscillates back and forth in the wall of the thin steel pipe, and finally spreads out from the other end, which can spread a considerable distance, the only defect is that because the sound is transmitted back and forth, sometimes the echo will be heard, and it is basically difficult to complete the listening and speaking task at one time, and sometimes it is necessary to repeat two or three times to complete the command transmission. This kind of problem is not impossible to solve, that is, to add equipment to counteract the echo at the location where the sound wave generates echoes, but such construction must rely on mathematics and physics, and the current education level of the indigenous naturalized people in this time and space is incomprehensible, so it will be put on hold for the time being, pinching the nose and using it.

After a while, the crane of the Oriental Port began to operate, under the steel cable hook, a pilot ship was slowly placed on the surface of the sea, a rope net was thrown from the bulwark on the side of the pilot ship, spread on the bulwark, two sailors wearing blue and white sea soul shirts and six special reconnaissance team members wearing evergreen combat uniforms began to slowly climb towards the sea along the rope net.

Although the hull of the Oriental Port is not small, but the space inside is only so large, the news that the front is about to arrive on land to go ashore to rest and recuperate spread throughout the ship at the first time, many Foreign Legion soldiers wearing red shirts and blue trousers have poured onto the deck, there are many seasick people who vomited so dark that they were about to get up, as soon as they heard that they were about to be able to go ashore, they didn't know where they had their strength, and all the hula ran onto the deck, and for a time the deck was full of people, They all cheered and cheered towards the island looming in the waves on the sea not far away.

Even Guo Hao, who was almost only in and out of bed before, miraculously stood up at this moment, and at this moment he was pestering several elders in the command room with a dead face, Yang Feng glanced at the veteran whose face had recovered some blood and said, "Don't tell me about this, I am not a veteran of the military department, and the matter of the special investigation team's landing on the island to reconnoiter is not in my charge." ”

Zhan Jie next to him hurriedly agreed, "Yes, we are not from the military department, so it's useless to tell us." ”

Guo Hao has been vomiting on the ship for several days, and he really didn't even have the strength to stand up before, but now he heard that he was about to dock, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so that he was able to come to the command room and ask to land on the island together. "Okay, you're not from the military department, I won't tell you," he said as he quickly turned to Hong Jie, who was wearing a blue artillery uniform next to him, "Come on!" Let me go up with you! ”

"What are you going to do?" Hong Jie looked confused, "I went ashore to reconnoiter the terrain and choose a landing site, what do you say you are doing with the first batch of people from the Ministry of Commerce and Trade?" Isn't that a big fun? ”

After the far away, the distant place after the hatred by the moon and the land by the most

"How can you join in the fun? Isn't this a new place that can be used as a temporary port of call......" Guo Hao couldn't help blushing, but immediately defended himself, "I heard that this green island is very big, there should be a water source on it, and there will definitely be many fishermen coming here to get water." ”

"What Green Island?" Yang Feng next to him interjected coldly, "The one you see now is Orchid Island, and Green Island is another island, about thirty nautical miles north of Orchid Island." Saying that, Yang Feng raised his hand and looked at his own navigation watch brought from the old world, "It's ten o'clock in the morning, we can still have lunch on the ship, if Lanyu is not suitable for landing, our fleet will head north to Green Island, and land there." ”

"Why? Is there anything else in this orchid that is not suitable for landing? This time it was Guo Hao's turn to be confused. Yang Feng nodded, "Yes, that's right, although Orchid Island is a volcanic island like Green Island, Orchid Island has been eroded by wind and waves for a long time, and there may be a lot of reefs near the island, and it is likely to be dangerous for us to approach such a deep boat." ”

"That's what I said," Hong Jie next to him interrupted Yang Feng's words a little embarrassedly, "I said that we must be too careful now, right?" As he spoke, he pointed to Lanyu in the distance, which looked like it was on the horizon, and said, "It's five kilometers away from Lanyu here, to say the least, right?" It's too far to drive at this distance with a manpower boat, and before it gets close to the shore, the manpower will already be almost consumed, and it will take a few hours to go ashore for reconnaissance and measurement, at least, it will take a few hours, right? It's ten o'clock in the morning, and I don't know if there are natives on the island, if there are, it's the time when people are more energetic, and then until four o'clock in the afternoon, our people on the island may be attacked by the natives on the island, I suggest that either let the capital ship tow the manpower boat forward, and at the same time raise the hot air balloon to reconnoiter in the case of aerial reconnaissance, or land at night to avoid possible attacks by the natives. ”

Yang Feng shook his head, "This order was not given by me, it was given by Yang Junbo of the Iron Fist, I am not from the military department, so there is no way to make a decision, unless you go and tell him." ”

The current sea is not calm, the wave height is about one meter or so, the manpower boat has not completely approached the water, it is still hanging in the air, several special investigators and sailors climbing on the rope net are carefully hooking the manpower boat with the hook on their bodies, it should be hooked over and then climb up.

Yang Junbo soon saw the flag signal sent from the Oriental Port, to be honest, he also agreed with Hong Jie's opinion, but Carnesto felt that if such a large fleet suddenly approached the island, it was likely to cause panic among the aborigines on the island, and they fled into the mountains and could not communicate. Now that the fleet is not close to the island, first send a small boat ashore first, and you can use some small things to buy the natives first, so that the natives will not move the idea of attacking the members of the fleet.

The weapons and equipment of the Senate army are no less than the U.S. military's fully armed invasion of Afghanistan in the old time and space compared to the Pacific natives of this time and space, but the Senate has advertised itself as a righteous and advanced force representing the people from the very beginning, and it has always done so, so it is still not easy to directly land on a large scale and then sweep the island. Therefore, Yang Junbo could only adopt Carnesto's opinion, but who to let go became a big problem, and after repeated discussions, the special investigation team took the initiative to ask for help, and landed in the first batch, striving to get in touch with the natives first, so that everyone could coexist peacefully.

Soon the human-powered ship was hooked by the hook, and the two sailors hurriedly reached out and pulled the cable, their positions were on the edge of the Oriental Port and the human-powered ship, this was to prevent the waves from suddenly hitting and being caught between the hulls and causing casualties. The special investigators quickly jumped onto the man-powered boat, and then helped to climb the rope net to secure the position of the human-powered boat, and then the two sailors let go of the rope net and jumped onto the boat. The special reconnaissance team member in charge of the operation commanded the crane in the direction of the crane boom, and then the crane slowly released the steel cable downward, and the boat completely fell into the water and began to shake with the waves, and the hull of the ship collided with the hull of the Vostochny Harbor from time to time and made a clanging sound.

"It's time to go!" The special investigator in charge of the command saw someone on the aft tower of the Oriental Port signaling to them, and shouted to several people in the ship, and at the same time sat down, and began to step on the foot pedals with both feet. White waves soon broke out underneath the human-powered boat, and two sets of propellers rotated rapidly, swirling the sea water and pushing the hull forward quickly.

It has been several years since the development of the human-powered ship, and in the past few years, its propulsion has evolved through several generations, from the initial propeller, then to a single propeller with tail rudder, and then to the current twin propeller. The human-powered boat has even done away with the tail rudder, and her steering is achieved entirely by the different thrust forces between the two thrusters, although it is not as intuitive as the tail rudder, but it can still maintain enough propulsion while steering, and can even be adjusted by the gearbox to make one forward and one reverse rotation, so as to achieve a U-turn in place or in a very small area.

This human-powered ship uses an eight-seat manpower output, capable of reaching about two to three horsepower, and the speed of the ship is four to five knots per hour, although it is not enough to see in front of the Vostochny Port, but in the case of no tailwind, it is enough to defy the sailing speed of all Medenor people, and can leave them far behind, and the human-powered ship is smokeless and silent, and the speed in the sea is medium, and more importantly, the hull is low, not affected by the wind, especially suitable for special operations, so it is used as a special operation vessel.

The human-powered boats on the surface rowed through the waves, jolting through the waves, and the special investigators on board were not equipped with carbines and rifles, but with experimental weapons equipped with the Foreign Legion. Since boarding the ship, these special investigators have been trained in many different ways to withstand wind and waves, so that many of the Foreign Legion soldiers are able to move around freely while they are sick in bed. During their activities, they naturally discovered that the Foreign Legion soldiers on the ship, who were supposed to be armed with Senate rifles and 1628 rifles, were surrounded by weapons they had never seen before. Unlike the carbines and 1629 rifles they were using, these rifles were all-metal cartridges, and each rifle had a magazine that could be filled with about ten rounds, so you could see from the outside that it was a good weapon. Not to mention that the Foreign Legion also has a bizarre gun that looks more like a "light machine gun" that has not yet been officially finalized, with a magazine of thirty rounds inserted into the side or underneath. After questioning, the special investigators learned that this new weapon, known as the "submachine gun", was entirely a hand-held light machine gun, which could empty the magazine in an extremely fast time.

At the beginning of their formation, the members of the special reconnaissance team have been fighting on the front line of battle, either taking the head of the enemy among the ten thousand troops, or running long distances to attack the bandits' lair, in other words, the special investigation team leads the attack route, and is a well-deserved pride in the army, so the weapons they are equipped with deserve to be the best. But in front of the Foreign Legion, they suddenly discovered this incredible situation, and the best weapons they were equipped with were so far behind in front of the Foreign Legion, which was not even a naturalized citizen, which inevitably caused a huge gap in their hearts, and someone had to report to the General Headquarters of the Special Investigation Team at that time. Of course, these people were naturally stopped by the accompanying observers of the Military Industry Commission, and this matter could not be directly stabbed to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Executive Committee under any circumstances, otherwise this would be a well-deserved act of contempt for the Senate. As compensation, all the members of the special investigation team who accompanied them temporarily replaced with new weapons that were used as spare parts, but not everyone trusted these weapons that seemed to be very powerful, so each special reconnaissance team member who carried a new submachine gun and rifle basically carried an old weapon, either a pistol or a carbine, at least these weapons were tested in battle, and they could guarantee that they would be fine.
