But the tube of this cannon is too thin, right? Although the clairtelescope in his hand is not clear about the target so far away, he can still see some hollow grooves and large holes on the long tube, if this is used to open fire, then it must not be blown up on the spot? However, with this glimpse alone, Miro can already confirm that this iron clipper must be Chinese. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The speed of this voyage is so high, the bow of the ship pushes the waves, jumping briskly on the sea, and the sailors in uniform on it are running back and forth, some are passing something, some are holding what looks like muskets, and one is holding a slightly thinner iron pipe, all looking in the direction of the combined fleet. On the roof of the two-story cabin of the ship's amidships, a sailor in white uniform, holding two small flags, one red and one white, was waving in the direction of the Combined Fleet. "This is our flag slogan!" The lookout exclaimed, and then began to read the words of the flag, "Please don't be impulsive, we are not here to fight. "Miro naturally understands, this lookout did not recognize the flag language by mistake, he is just very curious, how can these Chinese learn the flag language of Medeno? In fact, this problem is easy to solve, and the sailor who played the flag was drawn directly from the Maidno sailors who were captured and joined the naturalized people of the Senate. Due to the innate advantage of the Medenor people in sailing at sea, they were born and raised on ships, so almost all the ships of the Senate Navy are now active in the Medenor people. These Medeno sailors suffered a lot under the jurisdiction of the Senate, but as they worked longer and longer in the Senate, they found themselves treated with the respect they had never felt before, and they lived like human beings. From the uniform standard of food for officers and men on Navy ships to the sailors' cabins on Victory-class battleships, this was simply unthinkable when working as a sailor in the Meidno Navy. At first, many of the patriarchs questioned this decision, believing that sending the Maidno to the navy's ships would be tantamount to returning to the mountains, and that they might find an opportunity to riot on the surface and control the ships. However, with the cracking of the spy network in Dongfang Port this time, most of the veterans were shocked by the contact roster that was found, and all the low-level sailors except for one or two stubborn ones did not participate in this espionage incident. And what is even more interesting is that as the investigation deepened, six or seven Maidno naturalized citizens were found in the tipbox of three or four naturalized labor captains about possible espionage around them, two of which were from the navy. Sun Budi does not show hatred for the flag soldier named Alfonso Ackerman, although Ackerman is a Medeno sailor, but he is not a Medeno person, he is a traveler in the Yaning Continent. A few years ago, I was drinking in a tavern in a port in Yaning, and I happened to meet Colonel Ston's ship recruiting sailors, as a person who had traveled the entire Yaning continent, he was full of longing for a new world overseas, so he boarded the capital ship of the Overlord as a sailor. In the years that followed, he traveled half the world with the Overlord, during which he not only exchanged fire with the barbarians of the Nicaea Islands, but also participated in the dispatch of troops to Annam and demonstrations off the coast of the Wu Dynasty. While applauding his travels, he and his Overlord were suddenly beaten in a sure-fire battle years ago, and in the end almost all of them were captured, and the Meidenor Navy, which had dominated the world at sea for many years, was completely powerless. This fact made him immediately understand the meaning of the old saying of the Wu Dynasty, "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky", and he was suddenly full of curiosity about this senate that came out of nowhere. Because he had traveled the world for many years, he had some talent for languages, and he knew some of the official dialect of the Wu Dynasty, and he quickly became involved with the senators of the Senate, and was specially absorbed into the naval reserve because of his positive performance in the subsequent criticism meeting. With the two intact Victory-class capital ships returning to service with minor refits, the gap in the number of sailors suddenly became incomparably larger. Overstretched, the Admiralty had to start using these Medeno naval reservists, who were now wearing the white sailor uniforms of the Senate Navy and wearing sailors' caps on their heads, and at this time they were shouldering the task of defending China's maritime frontiers alongside Annan and the naturalized civilian sailors of the Wu Dynasty. "Akko! Beware! Artillery could be fired at any time, so be careful. Tang Xunliang, who was next to the command room, shouted at Ackerman, who was on top of the command room, "If you fire a cannon, don't think about anything, people matter, hide first!" Ackerman's heart warmed, because of his travel experience, he was a famous figure even on the Overlord, but as a captain, he was able to surrender himself to the safety of an ordinary sailor, which had never been done in the Medenor Navy. The only thing he found strange was that almost all of the patriarchs had called him Akeman since they knew his name was Ackerman...... Some people call him a fat man with glasses, but he is not fat, and what are glasses? In the last one, the veteran of the army directly called him Li Wei, and asked him to smoke fake cigarettes, which made him confused. "It's okay! Heads! Ackerman nodded at Tang Xunliang below, "I saw the reply over there, they are asking about our intentions here." Tang Xunliang waved his hand at the other side, "Tell them that we were on routine patrol and stumbled upon their existence, and asked them why there was such a large fleet roaming in the waters of Annam." "If we ask so directly, will we touch their g-spot?" Xiao Can asked a little worriedly, "If there is really a war, we only have one boat!" As he spoke, he looked up at Ackerman, who was waving two small flags. Afraid of what? Tang Xunliang said and took out a wooden cigarette case from his pocket, opened it and stretched it out to Xiao Can, "Why don't you have a shot?" Xiao Can looked at the few Wen Qing cigarettes scattered in the cigarette box, and smiled bitterly, "Don't do it, this kind of cigarette makes your throat hurt if you smoke too much." "Oh," Tang Xunliang laughed, closed the cigarette case again, and put it in his pocket. Xiao Can was strange now, "You take out the cigarette and don't smoke it yourself, why?" "Why?" Tang Xunliang laughed again and patted his pocket, "I'm afraid that I will be in high spirits and give the wrong order to fire at them, and when the time comes, I will sink a few of their ships, but it will be a diplomatic incident." We don't have the Senate's authorization to go to war now, let alone a privateer's license. "You're so confident?" Xiao Can was stunned, pointed to the entire large fleet and asked, "This is enough for thirty or forty ships, and there are hundreds or thousands of cannons in total, and a single firepower projection of cannonballs can sink us." "It's impossible! Chief," Ackerman laughed above, "I've been in the Medno Navy, and their cannons take several minutes to aim, and they use arquebus ignition, which takes about thirty seconds from ignition to launch, and the gunner needs to hold the cannon to aim, otherwise even if it's sharp, even if the Victory class stops there, it won't necessarily hit." "After the hatred of the enemy, the most enemy of the Mo Tai Zhan" chief! Ackerman shouted loudly, startling Tang Xunliang and Xiao Can, who were looking at the Western scenery in a daze, and hurriedly looked up. The dinghy was waving the flag and was going to row over to negotiate with us. "Yes, these smoothbore cannons need to hit a ship of our size at a distance of five hundred meters," Tang Xunliang smiled and patted Xiao Can on the shoulder, and shouted at Ackerman above, "Ake, hasn't there been any news from there?" "Not yet, chief! I'll report you as soon as they hear back! Ackerman stared at the flagship in the distance, and the sailors on it were also constantly running, and although it was not real five hundred meters away, he could see a large number of officers gathered in the bow of the ship and pointed at him, and many of them were holding clairvoyant mirrors to peep in this direction. Further afield, boats were lowering their boats, and soft ladders could be seen hanging on the bulwarkheads, and naval officers in officer uniforms were climbing down the soft ladders, which were clearly intended to send the group of officers to the flagship for a meeting. It is impossible to hold a meeting through the flag, let alone understand their flag language on your own side. Miro was in a dinghy at this time, several oarsmen were paddling rhythmically in front, the sea was no more than a meter high, which could be regarded as calm, but the problem was that the captains and captains of the other warships in the fleet were now rushing to the flagship, and the huge flagship was followed by a large group of small boats, which at first glance looked like an old hen with a large flock of chicks. At this moment, the dinghy was in no order, crowded together in a chaotic manner, and the sailors on several dinghys near the flagship even quarreled over the order. "Captain, what should I do?" The sailor in charge of the dinghy looked at Miro with difficulty, Miro smiled bitterly, now the dinghy in front has been blocked under the soft ladder of the flagship, no one will let anyone, a few grumpy sailors have waved the wooden oars in their hands and hit each other, and the other party naturally did not show weakness, waving the wooden oars to play around the boat, and from time to time there were people who fell into the water. An officer jumped up and had just grabbed the soft ladder that was dangling on the bulwark of the flagship, when he heard a snap, was hit in the back by a wooden oar, and fell into the sea with a scream, and for a time there was a mess below. "Wait," Miro gestured to the sailors, gesturing to the destroyer moored in the distance, the sailors and officers on it all stretched their necks long, a sight never seen before. "Let's go to them." The sailors of the post-Cocordino post couldn't help but shudder, "Captain, there's an enemy over there!" "Enemy fart!" Miro scolded angrily, "If it were the enemy, they would have opened fire at this distance, and with their speed of about twenty knots just now, we would neither be able to catch up nor escape." "So where are we going?" What if they catch us like pirates and demand ransom? The sailor began to stammer, he was a man who fed the whole family and did not go hungry, and if he was used to extort ransom, no one would ransom him, and he would not be used as a slave by pirates. Although there is not much difference between being a sailor and being a slave, there is still some freedom after all. Miro is a small financier, and he is not afraid to extort ransom, but will the captain pay a ransom for himself? As soon as he thought of this, Miro waved his hand in an angry manner, "If I arrest you, I will give you a ransom, draw quickly!" As he spoke, he slapped another sailor carrying the signal flag twice on the shoulder, "Give the flagship a signal, and I'll go see the situation over there." "Sun Buke is not the main master, the enemy is the most secret enemy" chief! Ackerman shouted loudly, startling Tang Xunliang and Xiao Can, who were looking at the Western scenery in a daze, and hurriedly looked up. The dinghy was waving the flag and was going to row over to negotiate with us. Tang Xunliang hurriedly raised the navy telescope to look at the pile of boats, which were fighting at this time, like a pot of boiling water, and he couldn't tell which boats were waving the flag at all. Ackerman hurriedly closed his eyes and thought for a while, determined the direction, then opened his eyes and looked at it, and shouted loudly, "Direction 121, the distance is about four hundred and twenty meters!" At this time, Tang Xunliang quickly found his target, and sure enough, a young man in a fancy costume was standing on the dinghy and shaking his hands at his side, and four or five sailors below were rowing with trembling oars. On the flagship behind him, Medenor's sailors were busy waving flags to this side, Ackerman looked at it while interpreting, "Please note, this is our negotiator, please don't hurt them by mistake, otherwise it will ......" Ackerman said and suddenly stopped, Tang Xunliang asked strangely, "What's wrong with Ake?" Keep translating! "They, they say, if you fire at this boat," Ackerman coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "they would suffer all the wrath of the main fleet of Meedno." "Don't forget to brag at this time," Miro turned his head to see the flag on his flagship, grinned, and immediately urged a few sailors to hurry up and row. Head, they look like they're going to move closer to our ship, are there other plans? Xiao Can couldn't help but remind, Tang Xunliang nodded, "That's right, I don't rule out the possibility that their people came from underwater," as he said that, he gestured to the sailors around him again, and ordered, "Pay attention to the surroundings and strengthen vigilance!" Pay special attention to the underwater conditions, and you can shoot if you find any abnormal movement! Then he gave another order, "Put the speedboat into the water, and we'll go over and see." "There was a small speedboat on board this anti-smuggling boat, which could carry the weight of eight to ten people, and galloped on the surface of the sea at a top speed of thirty knots. Tang Xunliang, who was in the old time and space, had relied on this speedboat many times to force the smuggling ship that could reach take-off speed after modification into the encirclement, but after arriving in the new time and space, because the speedboat used a completely different gasoline engine from the anti-smuggling boat, he didn't use it much after the lack of gasoline, and he specially got some gasoline when he went out to sea for patrol, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.
