Chapter 030: Building a New Base
After defeating the black whirlwind in one fell swoop, Zhuo Shijie hadn't had time to celebrate, and that familiar voice sounded in his head. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Congratulations to my master, for your head-to-shoulder battle with my Anne, and your final victory, you are being rewarded with 1 point of intimacy! Your intimacy level is currently 1.11%"
Zhuo Shijie almost cried with joy.
Just a few shots with Anne (uh, why does that sound so evil?). It was a surprise that the intimacy level had risen by a full 1 point.
The intimacy level increased too slowly before, and he thought that it would never be full in his life, but he didn't know that two people fighting together could increase so much intimacy.
It seems that we will have to find more opportunities to go on more expeditions with Anne in the future.
When the intimacy increases to a certain level, he can build larger tonnage warships, and he will no longer be able to shrink back from fighting like he is today.
After taking Black Wind Island, Zhuo Shijie was really busy for several days.
Although the battle was fought without danger, four or five men were slightly wounded, two of them from stray bullets during landing, and the other three from those wounded while capturing the remnants of the enemy on the island.
The wound medicine made by Anne had a very good effect, and several wounded soldiers did not leave any sequelae.
There are almost fifty or sixty of the Black Whirlwind's subordinates who are lucky not to die, and once the Black Whirlwind dies, they can only surrender.
Zhuo Shijie purged these captives several times, singled out those who were more loyal to the Black Whirlwind, those with poor physique, and those with bad quality, and then gave them a small blessing boat, so that they could fall in love with wherever they wanted.
In the end, only thirty of the old Black Whirlwind troops remained, and Zhuo Shijie combined them with his subordinates to form a marine corps.
The captain of the Marine Corps was Hong Zhi, and the deputy captain was Liu Laoliu, and when it came to the war, these soldiers were under the command of the two of them. The two of them complement each other, which is just right for leading the team.
Although the number of land battles is relatively small at present, it will definitely be expanded in the future, so Zhuo Shijie divided them into three squads.
The captain of the first squad is Sun Tiezhu, the captain of the second squad is Heizi, and the captain of the third squad is a tall young man named Wu Tianming.
As soon as the team was formed, Jack began to train them.
At present, they have two patrol gunboats, and Zhuo Shijie also named them respectively, one is called the Flying Bird and the other is called the Flying Fish.
Later, with the advent of large warships, the two gunboats were only responsible for patrolling and delivering orders.
Although the Marines mainly engaged in landing warfare and land warfare, Zhuo Shijie continued to arrange for them to learn gunboat driving and artillery operation skills.
In the future, if there is a shortage of manpower, he can also choose some of these marines with better skills to operate the gunboats.
After finishing these chores, Zhuo Shijie and Anne discussed how to build Black Wind Island.
The area of Black Wind Island is much larger than Half Moon Island, and Zhuo Shijie's previous stronghold was mainly based on the northern part of Black Wind Island, where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But now, Zhuo Shijie wants to put the center of gravity of the base on the southern end of Black Wind Island.
There is a large flat area at the southern end of Blackwind Island, and if it can be transformed, whether it is training or living, it will be much better than the current base.
"In any case, the turret is a must!"
Whenever Zhuo Shijie thinks about the fort, he has an urge to beat people.
The range and power of the fort on Half Moon Island were much more powerful than his two gunboats, and he was reluctant to leave it on Half Moon Island like this.
Transporting a ten-ton fort to Black Wind Island is as difficult as a sky for Zhuo Shijie, but for Anne, it is as easy as a hand.
"After transporting the fort back, put it on the top of the highest mountain in the center of the island, so that its attack range will cover almost all the offshore sea around Black Wind Island."
Anne nodded: "You have a good idea, Commander, then, I will deal with the matter of the fort immediately." ”
"Wait, there's a lot going on, you wait for me to finish first."
Zhuo Shijie told Anne about the idea of rebuilding the base.
"At present, our strength is still very weak, so we can only develop in Black Wind Island for a period of time, and when we become strong in the future, the new base here can also become a small stronghold for us......
Of course, Anne would not have an opinion, and the two of them began to plan......
This morning, Jack, as usual, was lecturing with all the commanders and fighters of the 1st Marine Brigade of the Heavenly Army.
"The Mayan Empire, where Princess Anne and I originally belonged, has extremely advanced military technology, in addition to our empire has huge steel warships, there are also submarines made of steel that can dive to a depth of several hundred meters under the sea, and steel warplanes that can fly into the sky......"
"Do you know how far the farthest shell is? You would never have imagined that our longest-range shells could hit tens of thousands of miles......"
"In the future, you may all see our new weapons and even operate them yourself! However, if you are so confused that you only know how to use brute force, you will be eliminated......"
The former pirates were all stunned.
A steel battleship that can dive into the water? The steel battleship floating on the surface of the water is already incredible, and there are actually steel battleships diving into the water? O Iron Battleship! Dive, will it still float up?
What else? And steel fighters that can take to the skies? What is a fighter? How can it fly into the sky with steel?
"I know you don't believe it, just as you don't believe that our rifles can fight hundreds of meters, just as you don't believe that our batteries can fight fifty miles, but it won't be long before you see these amazing weapons and equipment that I am talking about......"
The soldiers, who were listening to Jack's lecture like a book from heaven, suddenly someone whispered, "Look! At the top of the mountain, it looks like a fort! ”
Although the distance is nearly two kilometers, on a clear day, the line of sight is very good, and everyone can clearly see that there is something more on the top of the mountain in the distance.
"Really! It's a battery! ”
"Great! With the battery, there is no longer any fear of the Dutch and the Spaniards! ”
After all, it had only been a few days since they had changed their identities, and these former pirates had an instinctive fear of the giant warships of the Dutch and Spaniards.
Although the guns of the two gunboats are very strong, they are too small after all, and the difference in tonnage with the warships of these two world powers is too large.
But if there is a terrifying range of turrets on the island, then there is no need to worry at all.
Those who originally belonged to the Black Whirlwind were also very interested in this fort. It is said that it was such a fort that destroyed their two main Guangdong ships in an instant.
"Is this fort really that powerful? I'll have to go up and have a look when I have time. ”
At this time, Jack spoke again: "In the near future, no one is allowed to go up the mountain, no one is allowed to run around, and if anyone disobeys the order, he will bear the consequences!" ”
At this time, Anne was working hard to build a new base, and these people must not be allowed to see her construction process until it is completed.
