Chapter XXXVIII
The five-masted ship played "Rule, Senate!" to a chorus of cheers and loudspeakers. left the docks, followed by 8154. "Rule, Senate!" is a direct copy of the lyrics and music of "Rule, Britannia", but all of Britain or Britannia in it was changed to the Senate, given that the original of this song was in 1740, so this group of people who could not create their own music for the time being directly moved this song out, and specially found a group of navy members in the night to specially match the lyrics of this song:
When the Senate was placed on the blue sea by the Creator at the beginning of the world
He has sworn to the gods of this land and sworn to protect this continent forever with the gods
Rule! Senate! Rule this raging ocean!
The Easterners will never be enslaved!
There is no holier nation in the world than ours!
Therefore, the oppressors must be defeated!
Make our country prosperous and free!
Let other countries only look at us with jealousy and fear!
Rule! Senate! Rule this raging ocean!
The Easterners will never be enslaved!
Although the singing voice from the loudspeaker is still quite stiff in some places, it has successfully mustered the pride of all the people present, and many people have followed along to sing the song. As soon as the song stopped, "Singing the Motherland" was played
The five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and the victory song was so loud;
Sing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength.
Sing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength.
Over the mountains, over the plains, across the rushing Yellow River and the Yangtze River;
The vast and beautiful land is our dear homeland,
The heroic people have stood up! We are united and fraternal, strong as steel.
The five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and the victory song was so loud;
Sing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength.
Sing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength.
We are industrious, we are brave, and our 5,000-year history is brilliant;
We have overcome all suffering to achieve today's liberation!
We love peace, we love our homeland, and whoever dares to violate us will perish!
Because until now, the executive committee has not been able to discuss what the flag of the Senate is, so this song has not been changed at all and played directly, which has become the biggest mystery of the Senate in the future: What does the five-star red flag look like? Because after this playing, the Senate flag was quickly established, and this song was the first and last time that the five-star red flag appeared, and the prisoners of war present and the freed wealthy merchants and sailors recalled the song in the future, and they all confirmed that it was the five-star red flag that they heard, and almost all the senators did not admit it.
But after hearing the lyrics of this song, these rich businessmen were much more relieved, this is a port established by a country with a history of 5,000 years, and they will definitely not be like those barbarians who only know how to burn, kill and loot, and after they are rescued, they will also help themselves repair the ship, although they charge some labor fees, but the ship repair here is much cheaper than Wenshan Port, after hearing the lyrics, they have even made up their minds that if they repair the ship next time, they will try to rush to this "Oriental Port".
As soon as the song "Singing the Motherland" ended, the light "March of the Warships" was played, which was specially recommended by the navy members and played, and since it was impossible for anyone among the people to not hate the Japanese Empire, it was only a song that was played at this time. The light music had a strong rhythm, and many of the traversers crowded the seashore and waved at the departing five-masted ship and the 8154 cruiser that followed, even though everyone knew that the destination was only more than ten kilometers to the south.
"It's a nice day!" Gu Qingqian stood on the deck and talked to a shipper named Ruan Qingshan, today she specially wore a professional attire, a white shirt and a small suit on the top, and a pair of well-fitting trousers on the bottom, she felt that this kind of dress was to respect the tradition of business negotiations, but the businessman in front of her obviously did not think so.
Ruan Qingshan's face was flushed and embarrassed, his eyes always wandered away from time to time to look at the seaside, and Gu Qingqian replied without a word, which made her feel very strange. What she didn't know was that the women of this era wore skirts, in order not to let their body shape be seen by men, but she wore women's suits that could show the contours of her body, and the women from the future were almost far superior to their peers in this era in terms of maintenance and figure, so her appearance had caused several sailors on the deck to collide with each other, and a few of them were hit by falling boxes, which was simply a disaster on this deck...... And this Ruan Qingshan is only in his early forties, in the prime of life, the yellow-faced woman at home does not know how to maintain, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, occasionally getting up is to quarrel with him, he is not allowed to find the little one, what he can't stand the most is her fat body like a mountain of meat. The reason why he would rather risk running out all the year round, in addition to making money, this is also an extremely important reason, in the past two years he raised a little wife in the north of Mingzhou City, I heard that it was from a garden in Yangzhou, playing and singing can also chant poems against each other, although twenty-five or six years old is a little older, but the appearance and figure are quite good. However, this feeling was shattered at the first sight of Gu Qingqian, not to mention the yellow-faced woman in the family, even the junior in Mingzhou City became eclipsed in front of Gu Qingqian, the woman in front of him was slender, with a good face, with neat teeth when she smiled, her hair was black and smooth, and she was wearing a ponytail hanging down behind her head. A part of himself was quietly swelling up embarrassingly in him, but fortunately he couldn't see it from his long robe...... What surprised him even more was that this woman seemed to know everything, whether it was some business methods, or some secret tricks of the bookkeeper in money management, or the characteristics of some strange goods, she came out of her mouth, did these American women know everything like her? And what surprised him the most was that this woman's status seemed to be quite high, and the Americans on the same boat, whether they were armed with firearms or not, had to run to her to ask for instructions when they couldn't make a decision on many things, and they had to wait for her to sign her name in the lower right corner of a large piece of paper full of dense fly-headed small characters.
To be honest, at this time, the traverser was completely blind to the trade methods of this time and space, and she didn't understand these things at all, Gu Qingqian also felt quite depressed that she had to chat with these ancients, and she didn't know what these ancients were doing, why they looked like they were so distracted when they saw them one by one, she had only stood on the deck for five minutes, and there were already several sailors who had hit the mast and the tail tower here, and from time to time some sailors came from unrelated places to look at her from a distance. She had to quietly open the small mirror she was carrying with her again and look at her face and hairstyle, there was nothing wrong with it......
The escort 8154 was Bu Zhongfu's No. 1 ship, because only his ship was equipped with a trebuchet and a scorpion crossbow, although the range of these two things was only a pitiful 300 meters, but the strong body mounted on the bow and stern made people feel very oppressive. And the ship's weapons cabinet is equipped with a machine gun, a rocket launcher and more than a dozen Bayi rifles, even if you encounter ten enemies the size of a Galen ship on the sea, as long as you are not besieged, you have the ability to eat each other.
After leaving the port, they thought they would reach the port of Champa in two hours, but they soon began to despair, the speed of the five-masted ship was quite maddening, and now although it was not a full sail, it was too slow in less than three knots...... It was less than four kilometers in an hour, and the speed of walking was almost the same, and Bu Zhongfu paced around the cabin impatiently, reaching into his pocket to touch the cigarette, but he felt empty. Only then did he remember that the cigarettes he had brought had been smoked the day before yesterday, and that there was not enough food in the supplies brought by the Senate at this time, so he should not expect any more cigarettes. He knew Sun Wenbin well, so he asked Sun Wenbin to grow tobacco in a small area in the newly opened farm, but it also took four months for the tobacco to mature. In the past four months, he had to endure nothing but shredding dried leaves and rolling cigarettes himself...... He couldn't help but wave his hand into the air a little frantically, even if the boat was running so slowly, he couldn't even think of smoking a cigarette!
In the midst of his depression, he suddenly seemed to smell a trace of smoke in the air, which was almost imperceptible on weekdays, so he immediately ran out of the cabin to the deck, and the smell actually came from the radar cabin...... Without saying a word, he took two steps and jumped up to the second floor, kicking open the hidden hatch. Gu Fulin and Yuan Zhenli were sitting in front of the radar screen, smoking and chatting.
"Smoke! Hurry up! Get one! Without saying a word, Bu Zhongfu directly reached over and slapped it on a few pockets on Yuan Zhenli's body.
"I didn't!" Yuan Zhenli opened Bu Zhongfu's outstretched hand while dodging, "What about your own?" ”
"Don't mention it! When I came over, I only brought two of them, and when I got here, I found that there was no commissary selling this...... I'll go...... Hurry up, whose smoke? At this time, Bu Zhongfu almost had tears and snot coming out.
"You're not going to, are you? It's all like this? Seeing Bu Zhongfu like this, Gu Fulin hurriedly took out a pack of "white sand" from his pocket, took out one and handed it over, "This Hunan cigarette, I don't know if you are used to it, try it." ”
Bu Zhongfu didn't speak, he directly stuffed the filter into his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it, and took a deep breath...... He turned half of his cigarette into ashes.
Yuan Zhenli and Gu Fulin looked at each other, "You're hungry enough." Before the words fell, Gu Fulin's eyes suddenly glanced at the radar screen, and a few dots appeared at some point.
Gu Fulin hurriedly calculated the distance and direction and shouted, "There is a boat!" To the southeast, five nautical miles! ”
