Two hundred and seventy-three. Return

Once people's homesickness rises, it is too difficult to suppress it, Li Rujin can't wait to get wings under his ribs, and fly back to the Dawen Empire, fly back to the imperial capital, and fly back to his home, but all this is just a beautiful idea of Li Rujin.

Li Rujin, as the commander of the first army at this time, how can he act rashly, even if he has all kinds of love, he can only hold it down, and he can't let others see it, although homesickness is human nature, but to show it to others, how embarrassing, after all, Li Rujin is still young and thin-skinned. But I made up my mind that I must find a reason to go back in the near future.

The reason is really easy to find, now that the troops of the Dawen Empire have plundered so much gold and diamonds in Africa, it is time to transport these things back, and they will not have to deal with the things at hand before returning home.

In the next few days, Li Rujin burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm for work, whether it was accumulated before, or what he had to deal with now, or even the work arrangements for the next few days, he handled it properly.

Although Li Rujin suppressed his homesickness, he still leaked the stuffing at work, these veteran oils, that is not like a monkey, they are almost missing a tail, and the signs have been seen from Li Rujin's every move.

In the past few days, Li Rujin's subordinates have looked at themselves with a strange eye, Mimi smiled, his expression was ambiguous, and he had an expression of "young man, I understand", which made Li Rujin very depressed, more than once, Li Rujin secretly asked himself, is my performance so obvious?

The boss was homesick, and it had become a secret that was not a secret, and Li Rujin simply admitted it, and began to arrange things with his deputy, and at the same time began to make preparations before returning home.

At the same time, he instructed the soldiers to write letters to their families and take advantage of this opportunity to return home and help them bring them back. After all, the postal service of the Dawen Empire did not have offices in Africa.

After careful consideration, Li Rujin did not take the flagship when he returned home, because the fuel consumption of a heavy cruiser with a displacement of 15,000 tons was too great, and it was inferior to a light cruiser in terms of speed, and the fact that the heavy cruiser remained in Africa was in itself a huge deterrent.

All the gold and diamonds were transferred to the light cruisers, and at the same time there were two integrated supply ships and four troop carriers returning to the sea, Li Rujin planned to persuade the top of the empire to send more troops to Africa again after he returned, as for the persuasion method, so much gold and diamonds were enough for the top of the empire to vote in favor.

The preparations were over, and everything that should be explained to the deputy, Li Rujin's return fleet left southern Africa and headed for Somalia amid the laughter of the soldiers of the Dawen Empire.

In three days, the fleet had arrived in Somalia, where it would stay for a day to transport the gold and diamonds to the ships, and at the same time bring the soldiers' letters back to the Dawen Empire.

The army of the Dawen Empire in Somalia still gave Li Rujin a big surprise, more than 40 tons of gold, and nearly 10 kilograms of diamonds.

The more than 40 tons of gold was obtained by the soldiers of the Dawen Empire stationed in the Ava base after nearly a month of hard work, after Li Rujin left the Ava base, Zuo Zhongyuan asked the troops to attack the two tribes near the Ava base, but as a result, Zuo Zhongyuan was very disappointed, and the booty obtained was pitiful.

When Li Rujin was here, tons of gold were transported to the camp, and when Zuo Zhongyuan was in charge of the camp, gold could only be counted by kilograms. This, can Zuo Zhongyuan's heart be balanced?

Later, under the command of Zuo Zhongyuan, the soldiers of the Dawen Empire at the Ava base launched a large-scale military operation against the nearby Black Tantou, which was different from Li Rujin's all-out military operation in southern Africa, Zuo Zhongyuan adopted the strategy of comprehensive reconnaissance and focused attack.

In the space of a month, a total of six tribes of black charcoal were knocked out, two of which were large and the remaining four were medium-sized, and not only obtained more than 40 tons of gold, but also captured a large number of slaves.

More than 40 tons of gold, in fact, is already a very good harvest, but Zuo Zhongyuan is still not convinced, why can Li Rujin get 45 tons of gold by beating one Ava tribe, and he only got more than 40 tons of gold after beating six tribes?

Later, I heard about something from the slave's mouth, and I stopped thinking about it. It turns out that the lake of the Ava tribe is a famous "sacred lake" in Africa, which has a history of thousands of years, and holds large-scale festivals twice a year.

Once for the "living sacrifice", as the name suggests, it is to sacrifice the living people to the gods, and offer blood food to the gods, which is extremely cruel and bloody. The other is the "Golden Offering", which is the offering of gold to the gods and throwing the gold into the lake.

Every year, when these two festivals are held, the nearby tribes will rush over to participate in the sacrifices, and since they participate in the sacrifices, they will naturally not come empty-handed, and each time they come, they will bring a large number of sacrifices. Over time, a large amount of gold has accumulated in this lake. In the end, it was cheaper than the Dawen Empire.

After Zuo Zhongyuan understood the situation, in addition to admiring Li Rujin's good luck, what else could he say, and he also stopped being competitive, and no one could stop him!

After the fleet stayed in Somalia for a day, after Li Rujin arranged the follow-up work, the fleet re-anchored and officially embarked on the return voyage.

In November, it was the summer of the Southern Hemisphere, which was the storm-prone season, and the fleet was close to the coastline along the way, and although the waves were rough, it was fortunate that it did not encounter storms.

Along the way, the fleet can be described as extremely difficult, although there was no storm, but the wind and waves were high, and the displacement of the light cruiser was small, so it was naturally bumpy.

After more than ten days of arduous sailing, the fleet finally passed through the Strait of Malacca and entered the waters of Southeast Asia, which were only separated by a strait, but the situation in Haiwen was very different, the waters of Southeast Asia were calm, and Li Rujin's seasickness situation also improved greatly.

After the fleet entered the South China Sea, the cruiser that Li Rujin sat on separated from the fleet and drove all the way to Sanya Port.

The fleet had both supply ships and troop carriers, so the speed could not be raised at all, so it had to sail slowly and leisurely towards Sanya Port.

Since entering the South China Sea, the radio communication system on the cruiser has been able to contact Sanya, and after learning that the faraway fleet has returned, it is also a cheer, and the faraway wanderer has finally returned, can you not be happy.

The news of the return of the fleet returned to the imperial capital with the radio waves, and the top leaders of the empire, whether it was His Majesty the Emperor or the cabinet ministers, or the bigwigs of the military department, were all overjoyed, and during the days when Li Rujin was away, the top leaders of the imperial capital felt that something was missing.
