Chapter 42: A Trip to New Zealand
But Squadron Leader Davidming immediately thought that his worries were unnecessary.
The sailors were self-picked, and there was absolutely no doubt about their loyalty.
The guy who was sent out to be his deputy was also selected by himself, and it was impossible for him to defect together anyway!
Besides, no one knows how to go north on that route.
The deputy sent by Squadron Leader Dai Weiming was called Zong Xiong, who turned out to be a northern Han man who had returned to the south, and had previously taken the initiative to go to Liuqiu Island to beg for a living.
Later, he was unwilling to live a hard life, so he played the role of ventilating the drug dealers.
Then it was simple, and during the drug sweep, a patrolman on horseback easily caught him running all the way and was sent to Australia with the others.
When Squadron Leader Davimin was disciplining them, he found that this guy often took the initiative to get close to him, and after being tested, he felt that he was indeed reliable.
Squadron Leader Dai Weiming envied Guo Shoujing, the assistant to the Governor of Gnawing Dogs, who was capable and serious------Zhang Hongfan, don't embarrass me."
To be honest, he really underestimated Zhang Hongfan's ability.
If history is not changed by Zhang Dao and them, Squadron Leader Dai Weiming may be an ant-like existence in the eyes of Zhang Hongfan.
But history has changed, Zhang Hongfan has been inadvertently suppressed------- other little people may also inadvertently dominate.
Did the characters make history, or did history create the characters? It's really a question worth considering.
Zhang Hongfan took two sea boats, and the journey was really smooth, and in ten days, it was easy to find the so-called New Zealand Island.
He didn't know how to use a sextant, and he didn't want to figure out why it was called New Zealand------ so he just had to do the job.
He used the most simple words to motivate his teammates: "Brothers, if we don't grab some labor, all the manual work in Baisi City will be done by me!" ”
The deputy captain Zong Xiong cooperated well at the time, and said: "That's it, catch others to work, and we can still earn money, where is there such a good thing in the world?!" ”
Everyone burst into laughter, all agreeing with the remarks of the two captains.
Everyone's background is not high, so they like to listen to the truth.
The natives who accompanied the ship were also carefully selected to be strong and intelligent, and they could communicate with each other through simple words and gestures.
With the passage of time, the aborigines of Western Australia have changed a lot, and in the process of being civilized, they have changed from fear, hatred, and resignation to peace, and even slowly adapted to and then developed into liking.
The reason here is simple, they find that although they are a little tired, they get more and better supplies!
What's more, they feel safe, never worry about being attacked by other tribes at night, and never worry about finding food.
The Governor of the Dog Gnawing could not understand why the indigenous women were so fond of colorful coarse silk clothes or turbans------ they did not wear blouses in the first place.
The indigenous elders are almost about to bow down to the matches------ the more primitive tribes worship the fire.
Indigenous children, both boys and girls, begged for candy bars when they saw the soldiers------ they were still some way from understanding the use of money.
Captain Zhang Hongfan once took two indigenous team members out to run errands, but as a result, these two guys casually grabbed things from other people's shops to eat------ Captain Zhang Hongfan did not scold them, but paid for them.
Later, I didn't take the two of them out again, no matter how much they begged Captain Zhang Hongfan------ your Captain Zhang didn't earn much money."
However, those two guys were particularly close to Captain Zhang.
They sailed together on a sea boat, and the people were not harmonious, but they were all right.
On this day, Captain Zhang Hongfan heard the lookout sailors on the mast shouting: "New Zealand Island is here!" ”
Captain Zhang Hongfan and Deputy Captain Zong Xiong looked forward on the side of the boat, but they couldn't see anything.
Deputy Captain Zong Xiong said: "Captain Zhang, if you go to the island, why don't I take someone up there first to reconnoitre------
Captain Zhang Hongfan disagreed, he said: "It's not appropriate! According to the plan, the natives will go to give gifts first, and after showing some goodwill, I will wait until I make a claim. ”
Deputy Captain Zong Xiong said: "I will gallop like the wind, I can travel 300 miles in a day and 200 miles in a night!" ”
Captain Zhang Hongfan was speechless, this guy ran faster than ordinary people------ three hundred miles, he couldn't even run thirty miles in one go!
During the training camp in Best City, they carried out the march together with backpacks.
Captain Zhang Hongfan patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Old Sect, I heard that the island is densely wooded and the roads are rugged, and you can't use the method of speeding like ------ wind. Squadron Leader Dai has explained, and we must put safety first.
Let's let the indigenous team members go first------ they are the same kind and the same language after all. ”
At this time, they really saw a piece of land------ if it was an island, it must be a big island again!
Two seagoing boats approached a sandy beach with no end in sight and began to anchor and stop their ships.
Captain Zhang Hongfan asked the indigenous team members to go down to the swordfish assault boat first with gifts, and rushed directly without resting
Tan to find the big tribe here.
The gifts brought by the indigenous team members were three pieces of cotton cloth, three pieces of coarse silk, three pieces of linen, three strings of glass beads, three jars of 20-degree coconut wine, and a number of bread and sausages.
Deputy Captain Zong Xiong shouted, too much, too much, what if they were given to them for nothing!
Captain Zhang Hongfan shook his head at that time, this person was too petty, and he must have been born in poverty.
If you can complete the task, even if you spend thousands of eight hundred dollars?!
Considering that he was sent by Squadron Leader Dai, he said kindly: "The first time is very important for the two parties to communicate, and we must let the other party understand that there are many benefits to doing things with us------
The indigenous team members made it safely to the beach, and they slowly disappeared into the jungle on the coast with their gifts.
Captain Zhang Hongfan waited for a while, and then sent thirty more clever team members to follow the traces of the natives.
He instructed that if you encounter a large force of men, do not compete with them, and must retreat first, and give priority to returning to report the news.
Deputy Captain Zong Xiong shouted again that he wanted to go ashore and camp, he was fed up with drifting at sea.
Captain Zhang Hongfan thought about it and agreed, after all, they don't have much experience at sea, and many team members don't have a good rest on the boat, so let's get used to it slowly.
They left the sailors to look after the ship, and the rest of the crew went ashore.
Captain Zhang Hongfan quickly found a suitable place to camp, smoothly arranged the defensive formation------ everyone began to raise the fire to cook, it had been a long time since they had eaten a steaming meal, and the whole camp was full of joy.
Captain Zhang Hongfan sat on a few wooden boxes, smoking a cigarette, and he looked up at a high mountain peak in a daze.
This is the end of the world, right? I, Zhang Hongfan, have lived this life in vain-------
Vice Captain Zong Xiong came back gasping for breath at this time.
He had just performed the method of galloping like the wind when no one was around, and according to him, he had galloped around this place for a hundred and ten miles, but he had found nothing!
Captain Zhang Hongfan smiled and said, "This is very natural, Captain Dai said that those natives do not have the ability to conquer the sea, so they generally will never live by the sea. ”
After he finished speaking, he pointed to the inland peak, and said, "I can't say that they are at the foot of that peak!" ”
Deputy Captain Zong Xiong nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will use the method of galloping like the wind to find out!" ”
