Chapter 54: Arrival
It has been more than a day since the departure from Kuching Port, and the soldiers have gradually become boring and bored from the excitement and excitement at the beginning. If there is only one ship www.biquge.info then perhaps in less than a day, Zhao Shichang can sail this ship to Manila.
But there was a sailboat towed behind it, and yes, the captured British sailing ship was now being towed along. It's also a distant-water trawler, otherwise it would have to sail slowly and wait for the sailboat behind. This saves trouble, just drag it and leave.
In fact, Wang Kun didn't think about driving those three 10,000-ton transport ships, but none of the areas he occupied currently had coal mines! Moreover, no one under his command can drive this kind of ship for the time being, so the crew has to be retrained.
The past few days of sailing have been painful for the soldiers on the ship, the space inside the ship is already small, and there are many people crammed into one place, so you can imagine it!
Then there is the fact that the food is very simple, it is completely dry food, because Wang Kun's boat is just a shelter for their team. Therefore, when it was renovated, it only considered comfort, and did not have the ability to provide nearly 300 people with food and drink. Not only is there not such a big pot, there are not so many dishes, but there is also no such a big restaurant.
However, it is no problem to provide drinking water for more than 300 people, so only these people can eat dry food and drink boiled water!
However, the ordinary soldiers did not complain, because they knew that there was no way, and Wang Kun, who was such a considerate soldier, also felt that he was really lucky!
When the sun set again, Wang Kun knew that Manila was not far away, but it still needed nearly five or six hours, but after all, it was already very close.
The sky also slowly darkened, and Wang Kun's mood slowly became excited, this place was originally discovered by the Chinese, and there were records of the arrival of the Chinese a long time ago.
It is a pity that there have also been discussions in major forums in later generations about how China should seize the opportunity of the Age of Discovery. But even if we had another chance, it would be hypothetical. Especially in these small Southeast Asian countries in later generations, they think they have hugged the big thighs of the United States, so they don't know what their last name is, and they really want to educate them well when they beep at us.
Wang Kun couldn't help but get excited when he thought that he was about to turn these assumptions into reality! After all, it is a thing that changes history, and the historical trend of the world will change from tomorrow onwards!
Wang Kun stood by the boat and looked at the dark sky, Wang Kun silently told himself in his heart, I, Wang Kun, will be the master of this sea in the future, and this will only be our Chinese sphere of influence in the future!
Because it is the sea area under your feet, the small country opposite in the future generations beeps every day, today this island and tomorrow that island, now you don't have to fight anymore, you don't even have a chance to build a country!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It was already completely dark, and the soldiers had already eaten dry food and rested, and Wang Kun went back to rest after checking the situation of the soldiers again. If there are no accidents, Wang Kun is sure that he will be able to reach the port of Manila before dawn tomorrow!
It stands to reason that the closer you get to your destination, the more excited you should be, and the more you can't sleep. However, Wang Kun slept peacefully this time, and he also had a very wonderful dream.
In the dream, Wang Kun sat and led a few people to walk in a large garden, and a person next to him was the governor of Manila, who was reporting to him about the situation in Luzon.
Then the Governor of Borneo reported that the gold mines in Borneo had been depleted and that the main industry was now agriculture, in which the production of rubber, peppercorns, spices, rice and coffee had increased again.
Then the Governor of Australia proudly said that Australia's iron ore and coal production had doubled. So the whole country can be supplied by Australia.
Then the Governor of Batavia reported that the military ports of Batavia and Temasek had been completed, so it was impossible for warships of any country to come east of Java without permission.
So the power of the West is completely blocked in the Indian Ocean! To the east of the Indian Ocean is China's inland sea, and it is usually enough to hand it over to the coast guard!
But at this moment, a dignified, noble and elegant woman suddenly walked over, looking at this look, Wang Kun always felt a little familiar, but just when Wang Kun was about to ask who the other party was, he suddenly heard someone shouting.
"Big brother! Eldest brother! Eldest brother! We're here! ”
Wang Kun was woken up for a while, damn, if he didn't call early or late, he had to wait until he was about to talk to his wife to wake him up.
I don't blame Wang Kun for being unhappy, it's just that this dream is too real, Wang Kun believed for a moment that he had become the top leader of the entire Chinese people!
But if you are unhappy, you will not be happy, and the things at present are the most important. Seeing that it was Zhang Lei who woke him up, Wang Kun was instantly a clever man, and immediately got up.
"We're in Manila?" Wang Kun woke up in an instant, no matter how beautiful the dream was, it was just a dream.
"Yes! We are less than ten nautical miles from Manila! Zhang Lei replied affirmatively.
"What time is it?"
"It's almost dawn now, it's dawn time!"
"Haha! So what are you waiting for? Did Xiao Gangzi get up? Wang Kun looked at Zhang Lei and asked.
"Not yet! I only took over the shift with him in the first half of the night, and then he went to sleep, and I was the one to drive the boat, so when I saw that it was almost there, I hurriedly came over to inform you! ”
"Then you quickly call him up, let's go to the weapons room and get ready, and then let's get moving!"
After saying that, Wang Kun went to the weapons room, and Zhang Lei ran to wake up Zhao Shichang.
Wang Kun opened the door of the weapons room, because Wang Kun originally built this ship as a mobile sea base, so there were all kinds of weapons here.
The trio enjoyed a variety of pistols, rifles, and sniper rifles. There are even some bazookas, but there are not many of them, so Wang Kun wants to keep them for use at critical times. Wang Kun was a little glad that he was a mercenary before, otherwise he really wouldn't have so many such good weapons available.
By the time Zhao Shichang and Zhang Lei came to the weapons room, Wang Kun was already playing with AK.
Seeing the two come in, Wang Kun said with a smile: "We haven't fought side by side for a while, and as more and more people join in the future, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for us to fight side by side again." So today may be the last time, so cherish it! ”
After speaking, without waiting for the two to reply, Wang Kun said jokingly again: "I haven't been busy for so long, there is no problem with the two of you, right?" ”
"Who am I, Zhang Lei? It's only been three months, and it's still invincible if you don't touch a gun for three years! Zhang Lei said with a stinky face.
"Huh! I don't have a problem either, besides, with such an opponent, the three of us can be completely crushed! ”
Seeing their relaxed expressions, Wang Kun was also relieved, although this time he was facing the weakest opponent the three had ever faced. However, according to the previous habits of the three of them, no matter what kind of opponent they faced, they would face it seriously!
According to the previous plan, when it was time to act immediately, it was just beginning to dawn, and this was the time for people to relax their vigilance, and besides, Spain had been in Manila for almost two hundred years, and they would not have thought that anyone would dare to attack them at this time!
Therefore, the three of them prepared to adopt the method of sneak attack, first the three of them secretly took the method of special operations to attack in, and then the soldiers behind directly advanced. In this way, the three of them cleared the obstacles in the front, and the large army in the back closed in the back, and with such cooperation, it was simply invincible!
After a while, the three of them skillfully put on camouflage uniforms, painted camouflage on their faces, held the standard rifle M16 of the US army, and put on a silencer, and also wore a pistol, and Zhao Shichang also carried a bazooka.
It seems that Wang Kun has also made a bloody investment in order to ensure the foolproofness of this operation!
Then Zhao Shichang went to open the boat, Zhang Lei went to inform the soldiers of the company in the cabin, and Wang Kun went to inform a company of British soldiers in the cabin who was subdued.
With everything in place, it's time to get started!
