Now, the cement paddle steamer No. 120, which Wang Mumu sent to welcome the European guests, has left the Red Sea and entered the Gulf of Aden. Sail in the vast Indian Ocean. After more than 3,000 kilometers of sea routes, not far in front of you is Socotra Island, which is known as the gathering place of strange creatures on the earth. Everyone knows that there are frankincense, dragon's blood trees, and rare birds and beasts on the island, and they all want to go to the island to have a look, buy some rare and exotic fruits, and also go to the ground and move their muscles and bones.

The ones in charge of this pick-up mission are Mai Ba and Geng Haoshan, look, the round and big round of red sun has sunk and fallen; And in the east, a full moon has also shown a blushing face, hanging in the sky. The vast and mysterious sea, which was like a tired child breathing softly just now, has now changed into a different appearance due to the high tide. The sea, it is like a boundless battlefield anymore. The sea breeze blew its horns, and the waves seemed to be thousands of iron horsemen, fiercely attacking the shore, rumbling and roaring. At this time, the moon, which had just shown a smiling face, trembled in fear and hid in the clouds, and the stars closed their eyes helplessly.

Mai Ba and Geng Haoshan discussed it, and said to everyone, the weather is bad today, let's anchor nearby and rest for a night, early tomorrow morning, if the weather is good, we will go ashore by the boat, move freely for half a day, and then go back to the ship for lunch, and go east.

The next morning, God forbid, the wind was mild and the sun was shining. The wheat lord agreed to the request of these European lords, so the tourists were full of interest, hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and at seven o'clock, they went to the island to purchase frankincense, gentian, dragon's blood, myrrh, aloe vera, civet, ambergris and other precious medicines. For the sake of safety, Maiba asked the people on the island to take the country as a unit, and divided them into fifteen groups, each group was basically about ten people, and each group was equipped with a three-person combat team, that is, a women's army and two grenadiers, to accompany them shopping. Geng Haoshan, who was talkative and talkative, took the trouble to take care of the people on the island repeatedly: "Everyone, for the sake of safety, and in order to catch up with our Queen's Rose wedding, there is only half a day of activity time today. Therefore, if you hear our big ship play the piccolo three times, it means that the time is almost up, and everyone should hurry back to the ship; In addition, if the alarm of our big ship is sounded for a short time, a long time and a short time, we must hurry back to the ship anyway, because there is a critical situation; Also, don't go far, don't be alone, don't show off your wealth, don't be arrogant, don't look for trouble, don't make mistakes......

Under the blue sky and white clouds, among the waves of the sea, there is no pollution, no fighting, no noisy noise, no flower world on Socotra Island. Here, everything is natural and spontaneous. Socotra Island does not have a good natural harbor, and in this era, there are not many passers-by, and it does not form a promotion for the construction of the island. Here, you can't see a single person after an hour or two walk. The inhabitants of the island live leisurely, do not need to work, do not need to farm, do not be tired of life, dig a few bread trees and not go hungry, raise a few sheep or catch a few fish can enjoy it quite a lot, and then collect some medicinal herbs by the way, wait for the rabbit, you can make a small fortune. Today is the day they have been waiting for their fortune.

Tourists who went to the island were lucky today, and as soon as they came ashore, the indigenous people of the island came to talk to them. The indigenous people of Socotra should have been of mixed Arab and African descent, with darker skin, somewhere between the pure black of Africans and the darker nature of West Asians. These sub-blacks had apparently found this big ship of wheat on an unknown hill yesterday, and seeing that although it did not dock, it did not leave, they knew that it was possible to go ashore today to look for treasures and shop, so they wandered on the coast early in the morning.

The inhabitants of Socotra are self-sufficient, so there are no free trade zones, no streets, no commercial centers, and even no free markets or itinerant vendors. Tourists who disembarked from the cement boat were instantly led to their homes by the people of Socotra who were waiting for the rabbit to take them to their homes with samples of goods, and began their own in-house private trade.

Mai Ba and Geng Haoshan knew that their trip was a heavy responsibility, there were dignitaries from Asia, Africa and Europe on this ship, and almost all the countries in Europe and the Mediterranean coast were all attended. Therefore, there must be no mistake, otherwise, the same enemy, Serbia and Rhodes will suffer.

Little Daini's parents, Kaspersky and Lewinsky, also came this time, and they are still representatives of the Eastern Roman Empire. Kaspersky felt that there was no need to go ashore. It's just to shop, and it's okay to go back, but now I'm carrying a big bag, which is inconvenient and unsightly. Therefore, the two of them sat with Maiba and Geng Haoshan, this Geng Haoshan is his daughter's best friend and the daughter of his good friend, and they are familiar with each other, so they chatted in the sea with a wide range of skies.

Suddenly, Geng Haoshan, who still had headphones hanging in one ear, frowned, quickly put the headphones on his ears, and concentrated on the same concentration. Maiba also sensed that something was going to happen from Geng Haoshan's expression, and looked at Geng Haoshan nervously.

Geng Haoshan glanced at Maiba and said, I just heard the alarm telegram of "SOS" with a different frequency, obviously, this is not a telegram sent by a special telegraph, it is an alarm made by an electric spark after our own people encounter some danger.

Wheat Ba asked, are you sure?

Geng Haoshan thought about it for a while, and replied, it's basically certain!

Wheat Ba immediately summoned the captain, ordered the horn to be sounded to warn, and used the original agreement to urgently recall his guests.

The cement ship immediately sounded the alarm of a short one, a long one, and a short one, whining, and the sound shook the sea area for a while, provoking seafowl to fly in all directions.

Hearing the alarm of the big ship, and regardless of whether these distinguished guests were willing or not, the three-person combat team that had been sent with the team immediately drove the guests to the big ship without thinking. These guests are not happy, it's only nine o'clock now, and they said that they would give us five hours, and it's still early at twelve o'clock, what are you urging?! However, these student soldiers are very nervous, and they must return to the ship with these guests, and there is no room for negotiation, and whoever talks too much will turn his face, and he will show a knife that can make people tremble and fall inexplicably.

Whether they wanted to or not, the dignitaries who went ashore to shop returned to the ship one after another, and they were all complaining while boarding the ship.

The Ghaznavid dynasty of Greater Iran was an Islamic dynasty that ruled the Turkic peoples in southeastern Afghanistan and at its peak was a Central Asian empire that occupied most of Iran, Turkmenistan, parts of Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India. The head of the delegation they sent and accompanied the ship was Abul Hassan Iraq, who had been the Empire's Chancellor of the Exchequer and had also served as the personal cashier of the Empire's "Sultan"; The deputy of the delegation was called Tilak, who had been a translator in the government. The people in these places like spices very much, and they wanted to buy more, but they didn't think that the goods were just optimistic, and before the price was negotiated, they were dragged back by the three student soldiers with both soft and hard measures, and promised that they would let you buy a happy one when they returned. In any case, the heart was unhappy, so Iraq and Tirak were full of anger and anger, one was angry and the other was angry and gnashed his teeth; One was displeased, the other was dumbfounded, and reluctantly returned to his cabin.

The Seljuk Empire was an empire founded by the Turkmen who rose to prominence in the early 11th century when the vast Arab Empire was in decline, and at its peak encompassed much of the land from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean to western Xinjiang in China. The head of the delegation they sent with them was Omar Khayyam, a well-known poet and astronomer of great learning. He had no objection to the student soldiers urgently calling them back to the big ship, but he wanted to find out that it was because the people on the big ship knew that there was danger that they used their whistles to beckon us back. Then, how can the people on the big ship know if those of us who go ashore are in danger?

The Fatimids were a hereditary feudal dynasty established by the Shia sect of medieval Islam in North Africa and the Middle East. It was founded in 909 A.D. and perished in 1171 A.D. Because its flag and clothing advocate green, it is also called "green clothes and food". The dynasty was named after Fatima, the daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The head of the delegation they sent and accompanied the ship was named Melek Everdler, the son of the Armenian soldier Badr Jemali. Now the Fatimid dynasty has begun to decline, and power is gradually falling to Baider. Because the "Green Clothes and Big Food" are friendly with the people on the island, and they are familiar with Ye Mi, a concubine in Ye Gucheng, so they know that these student soldiers have magical weapons in their hands, and now, since they call us back, they will go back, probably people also make sense.

The Kingdom of Serbia was a group of Slavs who settled in the mountains south of the middle and lower Sava River by the Danube, were conquered by Bulgaria and are now vassals of the Eastern Roman Empire. In order to improve Serbia's international status, Mikhail received a crown from Pope Gregory VII in 1077 and began to claim the throne. However, he still recognized Eastern Rome as the suzerainty of his son, Bodin, who reigned for six years. The head of the delegation they sent and went with the ship this time was called Stephen Stankovich, he was an athlete and a soldier, and now he saw Kaspersky, the head of the delegation of the suzerain, laughing with these student soldiers, and he also felt that he did not need to express his dissatisfaction with the recall, and that it should be justified that people wanted to recall, even if it was a global recall.

The Principality of Kievan Rus (Russia) has expanded its territory to the mouth of the Volga River in the east, through the Crimean Peninsula to the mouth of the Danube, from Lake Ladoga in the north, along the coast of the Baltic Sea, and bordering the steppe in the south, which has initially established the territorial scale of the Russian Federation. But in recent years, the feudal chaos has divided into eighteen small principalities. The main force of the current Rus is Vsevolod I Yaroslavich, who has been in power for ten years. The head of the delegation they sent with the ship this time was Vyacheslav Vladimirovich, who was more scheming, and he was studying what was going on to make an urgent recall.

At the end of the 10th century, the Frankish kingdom, a large European power, was divided into three parts: west, east and central according to the Treaty of Verdun. The Kingdom of West Francia, that is, France, later evolved into what became France, and now the Kingdom of France; The East Frankish kingdom, known as Germany, later evolved into what became Germany, now the Holy Roman Empire; The Frankish kingdom, Italy, evolved into what became Italy, and what is now the Italian city republic.

Only three or four years after the Holy Roman Empire emerged from war, Emperor Henry IV was excommunicated by Pope Gregory VII in 1076 due to a fierce conflict with the Holy See, and Henry IV had to give in and plead with the Pope in 1077. In 1084, Henry IV managed to depose Gregory VII and crown him emperor by the new Pope Clement III. The head of the delegation they sent and accompanied the ship was Audi Adidas and Sarah Kona, the deputy of the Lady's Delegation. They are not here to see what to expect, but to seek external support and whether they have reliable allies in the East.

The Italian city republic is a retro-Greek Athenian form of government that has just taken shape in Italy in recent years, and the new people and the new year are all-encompassing, and the head of the delegation they sent and accompanied by the ship was Pompeii Boccaccio and his wife Fendi Armani. Their task is to understand the East, look at the world, evaluate themselves, find their position, operate safely, and bravely seek profits. The urgent call just now made them feel quite depressed at the beginning of the interruption of understanding, fruitless search, no business, and no profit, so their faces were gloomy, upset, depressed, and depressed.

In 987 A.D., Hugo Capet, Duke of France, became king and established the Capetian dynasty, and the Kingdom of France was established. The head of the delegation they sent and accompanied the ship was Sophie Uncle Mar of France and his wife, Montejiao Jagisennu, who was in charge of the delegation. The head of the delegation and his wife originally wanted to purchase some fine spices to honor the emperor, but they were so urgent that the plan fell through, and it was inevitable that there would be complaints, muttering and complaining, and the complaints and words were so angry that people were angry......

Maiba looked at the guests who returned one by one, one, two, three, four, one count, ouch, no, there are fewer guests from the Arab Empire.

The Arab Empire was an Islamic feudal military empire established by the Arabs in Western Asia during the Middle Ages. From the perspective of later generations, the top ten empires in history are, first, the Yuan Empire (more than 30 million square kilometers including the four khanates, and more than 20 million square kilometers in the mainland); the second is the Arab Empire (more than 13 million square kilometers at its peak); the third is the Qing Empire (about 13 million square kilometers at its peak); fourth, the Tang Empire (more than 11 million square kilometers at its peak); fifth, the Ming Empire (about 9 million square kilometers); sixth, the Persian Empire (nearly 7 million square kilometers); seventh, Alexander's empire (about 6 million square kilometers); eighth, the Han Empire (about 6 million square kilometers); the ninth was the Roman Empire (more than 5 million square kilometers); Ten was the Ottoman Turkish Empire (less than 5 million square kilometers). So, throughout history, the Arab empire has always been arrogant, they consider themselves unprecedented, so, everywhere, they are arrogant. However, after the 10th century, the Arab Empire was torn apart, and in 1055, the Seljuk Turks captured Baghdad and relieved the caliphate of political power, retaining only the status of religious chieftain. The head of the delegation they sent and accompanied the ship was a woman, Princess Babylon. Her dream was how to use the divine powers, magic, demons, and tricks of the East to inject strength into the revival of Arabia.

Maiba rechecked it again, and confirmed that it was correct, that is, the team of the Arab Empire was missing, and their delegation should have ten people, plus our three student soldiers, a total of thirteen people, although the whistle of the big ship was urging over and over again, and the lookout post high on the mast always said that there was no trace. Maiba asked Geng Haoshan and replied, the telegram signal of "SOS" for help has been coming and going, the signal is very weak, and the signal outside "SOS" is intermittent, unclear, and unrecognizable.
