Chapter 1012: Hawaiian Pirates
The vast sea, the rippling blue waves at a glance.
On the ship, Rong Hong is popularizing American things to Zeng Jize, Zeng Jihong and others. He tells the American customs and customs not simply dogmatically, but in the form of stories, which are more vivid and easy to record in the mind, so that everyone listens to them with relish, and from time to time there is a burst of laughter.
Li Zhen was lying on a recliner, basking in the winter sun.
He beckoned and asked, "Huang Qiang, where have we been?" ”
Huang Qiang spread out the map and looked at it, then replied: "Based on the place where the water and food were replenished at the last stop, we are now on our way to the Hawaiian Islands. Currently, the king of the Hawaiian Islands is Kamehameha IV, who, according to information found along the way, is still very young, less than thirty years old, and is a hard-working king. However, Hawaii also faced foreign invasion, and France and Britain occupied some parts of the Hawaiian Kingdom. ”
Li Zhen frowned and said: "Since there are British and French troops, let's try to avoid them, find a place to replenish water and food, and then go directly to the United States without delay." ”
"Yes!" Huang Qiang nodded.
Li Zhen squinted his eyes again, thinking that after walking most of the distance, it would not take too long to reach the United States.
"Report!"
A loud shout suddenly sounded in Li Zhen's ears.
Li Zhen opened his eyes and said, "Say!" ”
The soldier replied, "President, I just found two large ships following behind, suspected to be pirate ships. ”
Li Zhenluo stood up, looking excited.
He took the binoculars from the soldier's hand and looked at the back of the ship, and did notice two large ships following him. It's just that these two big ships are obviously not in the same grade as the battleship that Li Zhen is riding. Li Zhen smiled coldly and ordered: "Tell to go down and let the soldiers prepare for battle." This is the first time I've fought a pirate, and it cheers me up! ”
The soldier went to give the order, and Rong Hong also stopped explaining.
He stood beside Li Zhen with Zeng Jize, Zeng Jihong and others, with a touch of worry on his face.
Encounter with pirates, which is really bad news.
Rong Hong thought for a while, and opened his mouth to persuade: "President, if the pirates are killed, we will try not to kill people when we counterattack." A wave or two of pirates is easy to deal with, but once some of the pirates have escaped, they will definitely have to move in the rescuers. The next time we will be attacked not by a group or two of pirates, but by a group of pirates, who will face even greater trouble. So, we try not to clash with pirates, otherwise we will be the ones who will be affected in the end. ”
"Fart!"
Li Zhen glanced at Rong Hong and said, "If the other party dares to deal with me, I will definitely fight back." ”
Rong Hong opened his mouth to speak, trying to persuade Li Zhen to reconcile.
However, when he saw the expression on Li Zhen's face, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. He is just a guide invited by Li Zhen, and he has no right to interfere with how Li Zhen does things.
Gradually, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed.
Li Zhen could already see the specific situation on the other party's ship through the telescope. The lead pirate was a bald man, dressed in shabby clothes, with a scar on his face, a burly figure, a gun at his waist, and standing in the bow of the ship with his hands on his chest, with an arrogant look. At this time, the bald pirate kept waving his hands and pointed in the direction of Li Zhen and opened his mouth to speak.
Although Li Zhen didn't know what the other party was talking about, he must have arranged the ship to attack Li Zhen.
At the moment, on the pirate ship.
The bald pirate in the lead stared at Li Zhen's battleship, his eyes lit up, his face burst out with greedy light, and he muttered: "What a big ship, if Lao Tzu owns this big ship, his strength will definitely double." I can even bring the rest of the surrounding pirates under my command and expand my strength. He stretched out his hand and patted his thigh, and said loudly: "This big ship is a gift from God to Lao Tzu, be careful with me, don't damage the big ship." Rush, rush over to occupy the ship. ”
With this order, the two ships immediately accelerated forward.
Huang Qiang came to Li Zhen's side and asked anxiously: "President, the other party rushed over with full power, did you open fire?" ”
"Don't worry, let's talk about it closer!" Li Zhen shook his head and said.
Rong Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He was afraid that as soon as the cannon fired, the two sides would become enemies completely.
After the pirates approached the big ship, there was room for negotiation.
The speed of the two pirate ships increased, and they were less than 100 meters away from the position of Li Zhen's battleship.
Even, there were already pirates on the pirate ship who began to shout, telling Li Zhen's big ship to stop and surrender immediately, and wait for the pirates to come and receive the battleship. Li Zhen's expression was calm, his mind turned, he already had a plan, and ordered: "Don't fire the cannon for the time being, just wait for the pirates to come up." They come to one, we fight one. I don't believe they will shoot guns, they want to grab things, is it useful to shoot guns? ”
Obviously, Li Zhen understood the pirate's thoughts, and thought about it, if the cannon bombardment was used, the battleship would start to sink after being blown away, and the whirlpool that rolled up would definitely not be able to get close, and everything would sink into the sea. When the time comes, a lot of things will be scrapped. The best thing to do is to capture the ship so that everything on board can be snatched intact.
Similarly, Li Zhen also had other thoughts about pirates in his heart, and did not give the order to open fire.
The pirates took advantage of it, and it was definitely a trump card.
In a short time, the distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters, and even the bald pirate leader had ordered the boat to be lowered and let the pirates under his command come in a small boat. As the distance gradually closed, the boat came into range of bullets. At this time, Li Zhencai gave the order to shoot, and the gunshots rang out, splashing everywhere on the sea.
The soldiers of the 300 Sharp Knife Battalion were all top marksmen, aiming and firing, causing heavy losses to the rushing pirates.
This situation made the bald pirate leader so angry that he stomped his feet again and again.
He ordered his soldiers to move on, sailing closer to Li Zhen's battleship. However, the firepower of both sides is not at all in the same grade, and the quality of the soldiers is not of the same level. Pirates are fierce and wild, but they are only fierce if the merchant is not strong enough to defeat them in one go.
Once you meet someone more ferocious than a pirate, the pirate's rebellious spirit is suppressed, and he loses the courage to fight desperately, and loses the fierce characteristics of a pirate.
Such an engagement is not of a grade.
Li Zhen didn't feel any pressure, and with a smile on his face, he ordered the battleship to approach the two pirate ships. At this time, Huang Qiang hurriedly came to Li Zhen's side, lowered his voice and said: "President, there is a warship flying the French flag sailing over, the target seems to be us, what now?" ”
After Li Zhen heard this, he raised his eyebrows.
The appearance of the French army is not a good thing.
Once Li Zhen's identity is exposed, the French will definitely kill the killer if they know about it. Because Li Zhen's killing will inevitably lead to a deterioration in Sino-US relations and will trigger a series of dangers.
In an instant, Li Zhen figured out what was at stake.
ps: the second shift; Today, I have to continue to do work, forgive me.
