Chapter 41: Constantinople
The Mediterranean Sea, which is the ocean that connects the continents of Europe, Africa and Asia, is surrounded by three continents, and there are no excessively high waves in the Mediterranean, which is very suitable for navigation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
On the bustling commercial waterways, ships flying flags from various countries come and go, and the crews of both sides wave politely when the ships meet. In the morning, two strange ships appeared on the busy shipping lane. A second-class sail battleship, towing a transport ship down the Mediterranean shipping lane.
The nationality of the two ships was announced by the Chinese character flags hoisted on the two ships, and to the surprise of the passing ships, the transport ships towed behind had clearly been attacked by guns, and the masts were broken, and the hull was riddled with holes. The sail battleship in front was even stranger, it looked a bit like a transport ship, and if it weren't for the three shelling decks exposed on both sides, the crew of the passing ship would not have recognized the ship as a sail battleship.
This combination of one after the other was so strange that it had to make passing ships wonder. It is impossible for any national sail battleship to sail alone, and as soon as it leaves the port, it forms a small fleet to advance. Even if cruising offshore, a sail battleship is at least a few frigates, and I have never seen a sail battleship towed as a tug to tow a transport ship forward, which is really too wasteful.
Looking at the course of these two ships, it is obvious that they are going to the Black Sea front. The passing crew also had a faint guess in their hearts, estimating that the front line was tight and everything could happen.
These two odd combinations of ships are the USS Assassin transport and the captured second-class sail battleship.
During the interrogation of the captives after the battle, it was revealed that the Slavic Empire also had a camouflage ship cruising nearby, which could come to the nearby waters at any time.
After receiving this news, everyone was quite frightened and hurried to report to the Supreme Commander Nam Ren.
Nanren, who got the news, was frightened, just now it was the blessing of the Buddha, the manifestation of Allah, the manifestation of Jesus, and the victory, just now if the enemy did not board the ship and shelled from afar, hundreds of people on the Assassin were estimated to have fallen into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the king. There is actually a Slavic ship cruising nearby, and if you meet it again, it will definitely be over.
Don't look at the capture of a second-class windblown battleship, the number of people is far more than the enemy, and theoretically there is no fear of the opponent. But Nanren understands that success or failure is not determined by quantity on the battlefield. The crew of the Assassin itself lacked experience in naval warfare and hung up again. The soldiers of the special reconnaissance battalion are powerful on land, and the naval battles are basically idiots.
It's like a LOL game, where five diamond players play against five bronze players.
If there is no suspense, it is a spike.
Run, run, run.
Nam Ren did not hesitate to give the order to escape.
The Assassin's mast was broken and it was simply unusable. Most of the soldiers boarded the captured 2nd Sail Battleship and towed the Assassin transport.
Nanren prepared for the worst, and the current situation was that a remnant mage was escorted back to the base to replenish his blood by a remnant blood shield of flesh shield. But if the bloody enemy assassin cut in, the remnants of flesh had to tearfully abandon the remnant mage and flee on their own.
If you encounter an enemy, immediately cut the cable that dragged the Assassin and abandon the Assassin transport.
Fortunately, the next voyage went very smoothly, there were no enemies, no strong winds and waves, and the two ships passed through the Strait of Gibraltar one after the other and entered the bustling Mediterranean shipping lane.
At this time, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, there were many ships in the Mediterranean Seaway, and multinational fleets were cruising all year round, and it was impossible for the camouflaged ships of the Slavs to ambush here.
Nanren wiped his cold sweat at this time, calmed down his little heart that had trembled for the past few days, and walked onto the deck to enjoy the charming scenery of the Mediterranean.
The experience during this period of time was so shocking that I became a soldier inexplicably, and I went to the battlefield in a daze, and immediately encountered a bloody battle. When the war started, I didn't feel anything when I rushed forward with my blood. When the battle was over, seeing the corpses all over the ground and the blood-covered deck, Nam Ren felt the fear from the depths of his soul.
After all, a few months ago, he was a temporary worker in a peaceful country, and now he has become a soldier who has killed people on the battlefield, which is too fast for me to accept mentally.
In the future, he will face even more magnificent battles. It wasn't a battle of a few hundred people, but a duel of tens of millions, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
I can't imagine what I would have experienced in that situation.
It's terrible to be a soldier in this era, and when you go back, you have to get out of the army like a way.
It's better to be a communication dog in Storm Company safely.
"Captain South, we have entered the Aegean Sea, and if the speed is stable, we will reach the port of Ottoman Persia in the evening." Gao Zhenguo strode over to Nanren's side and said the latest situation. After waking up the next day, Gao Zhenguo learned about the battle situation, first regretted that he did not participate in the battle, and then immediately thanked Nanren's command with the highest courtesy of a soldier. Especially after learning about Nanren's gold-level kung fu, he, the major, saw that Nanren, the captain, was respectful like a subordinate from then on.
"Into the Aegean Sea?" Nanren came to be interested, the Aegean Sea is a tourist attraction, he has seen related videos, every summer the silver sand of the Aegean Sea is full of hot beauties, let people help rub sunscreen.
"Captain Minami has traveled to the Aegean Sea?" Gao Zhenguo asked.
Nanren shook his head regretfully and said: "I haven't been here, I heard that there are many beautiful women in the Aegean Sea, all of them are hot, and they wear bikinis in the summer!" ā
Gao Zhenguo's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Hehe! Let's show your big ass in a bikini! āć
"You've seen it?" Nanren's eyes were full of yearning.
Gao Zhenguo nodded and said: "The contracting country has a military base on the island of Crete, and every year the contracting country sends troops to garrison there. Next to the beach is the beach, when it comes to summer, it is really full of spring and can't be closed! That body tsk! āć
Nanren hurriedly asked, "Have you been stationed there?" ā
"Of course" Gao Zhenguo recalled with a face: "The year before last, our special reconnaissance battalion was stationed there in rotation, and I stayed happily for three months!" If there is no war this year, we will have to rotate there again. When this battle is over, we're going to go again."
"Really? Is your special reconnaissance battalion still recruiting? Nanren's heart is itchy, it turns out that being a soldier still has this benefit, it seems that being a soldier still has a future.
Gao Zhenguo said: "Is Captain Nan willing to come to our special reconnaissance battalion?" With your abilities, our troops are certainly welcome! I'm afraid that the regiment won't release people, but you are a communications talent, and it is impossible for you to delegate to combat units."
"Holy!" Nanren spat into the sea very uncivilly, expressing his dissatisfaction, and said helplessly: "I'll apply for it when I encounter the wind and heat, and I must participate in this benefit when I go to the special reconnaissance battalion!" āć
"If you can come, I strongly welcome you! Yikes! Look at it, there is Yinsha Island in front, and there are many beauties on the tourist island" Gao Zhenguo also hoped that Nanren could come to his own troops, and was about to pick up the stubble, when he saw the familiar scene and pointed it out to Nanren to see.
The ship was sailing on the edge of an island, and in the distance, the waters of the Aegean Sea were shining a crystal clear color in the sun, with a brilliant golden glow, and in the dazzling gold, a volcanic island appeared in the middle of the sea. Looking at the silver sand from afar, it seems that there are countless people playing on the beach.
Nam in found a telescope, and in the lens was a crowd of people playing, and countless beautiful women in swimsuits could be clearly seen swimming on the silver beach. The healthy complexion of the sun's rays is reflected in the lenses of the telescope.
When the swimsuit beauty jumps away, her swaying figure ripples in the sea breeze.
Sun, sand, bikini.
Youth, youth, this is youth,
Heaven, heaven, this is heaven.
Nanren really wanted to give the order desperately, and the sail battleship immediately turned around and sailed directly to the beach.
It's a pity that Nam in understands that even if he gives the order, the crew will not carry it out, so he has to watch reluctantly, watching the bikini beauty in the lens disappear.
"Captain Nan, you can't see the island, don't look at it, when you get to the Ottoman Persian Empire, there will be more beauties" Gao Zhenguo dragged Nanren, who was holding a telescope and refused to put it down, and patiently persuaded him.
"More Ottoman Persian beauties? Aren't they all Islamic? There's something nice about being wrapped in a veil." Nanren was very surprised, Ottoman Persia was Islamic when he heard it, as if the Islamic beauties on TV were masked and did not wear revealing clothes, so there was nothing to see.
Gao Zhenguo smiled and said mysteriously: "Captain Nan, many territories of the Ottoman Persian Empire are in southern Europe, and there are not Muslims there, and the beauties there are very open!" Gee! Do you get the idea! āć
"Oooh! I understand, of course I understand! Nam Ren rubbed his hands excitedly, and at this moment he was very much looking forward to reaching his destination as soon as possible.
The two ships went quickly and passed through the Aegean channel into the straits leading to the Black Sea in the Mediterranean. Because of the hanging of the Han military flag, it is a sail battleship. Although the cruising Ottoman Persian navy was surprised by the strangeness of the two ships, it only confirmed the identity of the ships and allowed the two ships to enter the territorial waters of Ottoman Persia without too much inspection.
In the evening, when the sky is dark. The ship approached the destination of the trip, the military port of Constantinople.
"The harbor of Constantinople is ahead, so be ready for the ship to come and guide us into the harbor." After the ship approached its destination, Zhang Yiting walked to the operation deck and personally steered the ship to the distant port.
The soldiers all ran to the deck to check, and under the last glimmer of light before darkness fell, the majestic military port in the distance, and the huge city behind the harbor jumped into view. In the haze, you can also see the gilded dome of the Suleymaniye Mosque, the tallest building in Constantinople.
