Yu Zhe continued: "Many of these people are experts in shipbuilding, and they are of great help to you, please forgive me, although there are many craftsmen who know how to build under your hands, but some high-level craftsmen, such as lofting workers and material workers, are pitiful!" ”

"Lofting" and "No. material" are the two basic processes of the shipbuilding industry, which can be regarded as the beginning of shipbuilding, "lofting" is like this, as we all know, the drawings must be drawn before shipbuilding, but the actual ship is tens of meters and hundreds of meters long, and it is impossible to draw the drawings to tens of meters and hundreds of meters long, so the drawings must be drawn on reduced paper.

When building a warship according to the drawings, the reduced drawings should be enlarged to the actual size, and this process is "lofting", do not think that this process is very simple, this process is extremely difficult, because many parts of the warship are curves or curved surfaces, and the curvature must be the same when enlarged.

In Lin Fei's time, this process could be "mathematically lofting" through a computer, that is, using mathematical formulas to describe the curvature of a curve and magnifying it, but there were no computers in this era, so we could only rely on the experience of workers to carry out "manual lofting".

After the lofting is completed, the physical size should be put on the actual material, and this process is the "number material", and the material can be processed into various parts after the "number material".

These two crafts need to rely on experienced technicians, Lin Fei got a group of shipbuilding craftsmen in Bazahai City, these craftsmen are all building arrow warships, there are several old craftsmen who can serve as "stakeout workers" and "material workers", but unfortunately the number is too small, these two types of work can not be cultivated in a short time, so that the old craftsmen and apprentices are also far away from quenching their thirst.

Lin Fei thought of this and said to Zhe: "Brother Yu, you are right, I do need a large number of high-level craftsmen who build ships, but the problem now is that it is not easy to capture the Sulu Sultanate, and we have no other way to find your craftsmen?" ”

Yu Zhe frowned and said: "Sultan Yagurul is stubborn and self-serving, and there is no one in his eyes, except for capturing Hele Island, other methods are impossible!" There are also a large number of high-quality teak on Hele Island, teak is fire-resistant and water-resistant, not afraid of insects, it is the king of marine wood, we attack Hele Island, it is really a hundred benefits and no harm! ”

Lin Fei pondered for a while and said, "The Spaniards have been running the Philippines for more than a hundred years, and they have not completely conquered the Sulu Sultanate on Hole Island, can we capture them in a short time?" ”

Yu Zhe smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why the Spaniards couldn't conquer them?" ”

Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Yu Zhe said with a smile: "The reason is very simple, after the Spaniards came to the island, they let Muslims convert to Catholicism, Muslims have believed in Islam for a long time, how can they convert to other religions?" So the Spaniards will never be able to conquer them, but you don't need to convert them to other religions, so they will not oppose you as much as they oppose the Spaniards. ”

Lin Fei nodded, and Yu Zhe continued: "I have lived in the Sulu Sultanate for many years, and I know that the people of the Sulu Sultanate worship the strong the most, and your strength is far greater than that of the Sultan of Yagurul, so why not let them submit?" ”

Lin Fei thought for a while and said, "What you said is very reasonable, let me think about it, you go back and rest first." ”

Yu Zhe got up and said, "If Your Majesty makes up your mind to attack the Sultanate of Sulu, I am willing to be your guide and lead your troops to the island of Holaku." ”

After Yu Zhe finished speaking, he said goodbye and went out, Lin Fei was the only one left in the house, Lin Fei was thinking in his heart, whether to attack the Sulu Sultanate, at this time, the Sultan of Yagurur led his men near Zamboanga, and my scouts found his troops 25 kilometers south of Zamboanga, if I could take this opportunity to deter the Sultan of Yaguru, I would save the trouble of marching into Hole Island.

How do I subdue the Sultan of Yagurul? Yu Zhe said that they worship the strong the most, and I am a well-deserved strong man, so I will find the people of the Sultan of Yagurul, and then use my strength to deter them, and they will give in, and if they don't give in, I will subdue them.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei called an attendant and ordered: "Immediately send scouts to the location where the Sultan of Yagurur is, let the scouts find the Sultan of Yagurul and ask him to send someone to talk to me." ”

The attendant agreed and walked out, Lin Fei picked up the work report sent by Chen Jingui at this time, briefly flipped through it, and found that the internal operation of the Huaxia Empire was normal, the preparation of the shipbuilding factory was also carried out relatively smoothly, the slipway had been completed by 80 percent, various platforms for assembly and welding, and steel pretreatment production lines had also been built, and more than 30,000 rivets for riveting had also been produced.

Lin Fei saw that he was relieved, and then inspected the city and the barracks, writing a plan to improve the steam engine, until he was busy until the evening, when Zhang Chuang rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good!" ”

Lin Fei was stunned for a moment, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Chuang replied, "The three sniper squads we sent to contact the Sultan of Yagurur have not yet returned. ”

Lin Fei was also shocked when he heard this, thinking that at a distance of 25 kilometers, the sniper team members were still riding fast horses, and they should have come back anyway, why haven't they come back yet?

Lin Fei then asked, "Have you sent a follow-up force?" ”

Zhang Chuang replied: "I have already talked to Niu Dalong, and he sent a platoon of troops to the south to search for the missing snipers. ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "You don't have to worry first, maybe they encountered something and delayed." ”

Zhang Chuang said goodbye, and Lin Fei thought to himself, what happened? We're three sniper squads, so what's going to stop them?

Lin Fei was puzzled, so he decided not to think about these things first, but to formulate a plan to transport the cranes from the Claus Steam Engine Factory to the shipyard, Lin Fei decided to transport the two cranes to the shipyard, after all, the Claus Steam Engine Factory still has to produce normally, and all the cranes cannot be transported away.

Lin Fei decided to disassemble the crane at the Klaus Steam Engine Factory first, and then load it onto the transport ship and transport it directly to Samar Island.

At 7 o'clock the next morning, Niu Dalong and Zhang Chuang came to find Lin Fei together, and Zhang Chuang first said: "Your Majesty, our three sniper team members have not come back yet." ”

Niu Dalong said: "The troops we went out to look for have also returned, and no trace of them has been found on the road. ”

Lin Fei frowned and said, "Will they meet the Spaniards?" Did you find any Spaniards in the south? ”

Niu Dalong shook his head and said, "No, there are no Spaniards in the south. ”

Lin Fei was surprised: "That's strange, where will the three sniper team members go?" ”

At this moment, staff officer Li Tianqian suddenly came in and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the three members of the sniper team ......."

Li Tianqian's expression darkened when he said this, and he was silent, Lin Fei asked in shock, "What's wrong with the sniper team members?" ”

Li Tianqian sighed and said, "They are all dead!" ”

Zhang Chuang and the members of the sniper team had a deep relationship, and when they heard this, they jumped in front of Li Tianqian with an arrow, glared and said, "Nonsense! How could they die? ”

Li Tianqian said in a mournful voice: "It's true, the corpse is outside." ”

Zhang Chuang pushed Li Tianqian away and rushed out of the door, Lin Fei and Niu Dalong hurriedly followed out, Zhang Chuang's feet were fast, and he had already broken into the courtyard, Lin Fei and Niu Dalong were still in the courtyard, Lin Fei only heard Zhang Chuang's terrible shout from outside the courtyard, his heart trembled violently, and he hurriedly accelerated his pace and rushed out.

Lin Fei rushed to the outside of the courtyard, only to see three stretchers on the ground, each stretcher was lying on a corpse, the corpse was wearing a green camouflage uniform, obviously a member of the sniper team, Lin Fei looked closely, and found that the corpse's neck was empty, and the head was gone.

Zhang Chuang lay on the corpse and sobbed softly, Niu Dalong also turned his head and bowed his head silently, at this time Li Tianqian walked out of the courtyard, Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" Who sent the body? Who killed them? What about the head? ”

When Lin Fei saw that three of his subordinates were killed and their heads were cut off, he was distressed, confused, surprised, and angry for a while, and directly spit out a large series of questions.

Li Tianqian said: "They were just sent by six Chinese, and I haven't had time to ask about the specifics." ”

Lin Fei's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Call them here, and I'll ask them personally." ”

Li Tianqian waved his hand and called a soldier, and gave a few orders, and the soldiers brought six Chinese in a short time, the six Chinese were all in their forties, with dark faces, obviously ordinary peasants, and the soldiers introduced Lin Fei to the six Chinese, and the six Chinese were about to kneel down when they heard it.

Lin Fei waved his hand and said, "No need, who killed them?" Hurry up and sue me. ”

The Chinese leader said: "Report to Your Majesty, they were all killed by the Sultan of Yagurul!" ”

"What? Yagurul Sultan! When Lin Fei heard this, his eyes almost erupted with fire, and he thought to himself, a Yagurul Sultan, I didn't want to hit you directly, the person you actually killed me was still my most elite sniper team!

The Chinese led by the Chinese trembled and said: "That's right, it's the Sultan of Yagurul, they went to the military camp yesterday to see the Sultan of Yagurul, and told him that the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Lin Fei, wanted to see him and asked him to send an envoy, but the Sultan of Yagurur heard the name of the Chinese Empire, and without saying a word, he ordered someone to kill them. ”

Lin Fei asked, "What about their heads?" ”

The Chinese leader replied, "Sultan Yagurul left their heads behind, and said that the emperor of the Chinese Empire would take them himself." ”
