As a captive, Miss Anna didn't really have much choice, whether she really believed that this side was indeed treating her favorably, or just a false promise, she could only agree to the accommodation arrangement here.

This helplessness was even more thoroughly apparent when arranging her entourage, and Anna herself was treated preferentially, but her entourage was not, even if it was only for safety reasons, it was impossible to put more than thirty foreigners in the main base at once, even if most of them were women.

So despite Captain Andrew's best efforts, he was told that all but Miss Princess and himself were allowed to stay in the camp. If they don't feel safe staying alone, they can go to the POW camp together, but there is no third option.

The resolute attitude and embarrassing reality made the master and servant very helpless, and in the end, it was Hu Wen Julie and others who came out to intercede, so they reluctantly agreed to increase the number of personal maids to the other party, and the nobles always have to be a little noble.

However, the girls soon found that their kindness was a bit of a cocoon, and they had to solve the problem of the maid's accommodation.

Originally, Hu Wen had specially vacated a vacant room for the other party, which was not easy, the scale of the building was not large, the front part belonged to the hospital, and the dormitory in the back was so large that there were more than ten rooms, and when no newcomers came in, it was already a room for two people. According to her thoughts, of course, the maid lived in a room with her master, and only used a screen curtain to separate a small bed.

Unexpectedly, the noble princess resolutely refused to live in the same room with the servant, but her idea was also very natural, this house was very large, in the corridor, under the stairs, or simply in this living room, find a random place. Where can I not sleep alone? In the Middle Ages, knights and servants slept in pigsties. At this time, they have no concept of human rights at all.

But the modern girls here resolutely refused to agree, and when they went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, they had to be careful not to step on people? They can't stand it. But it was not easy to explain to a seventeenth-century aristocratic lady that public places could not be occupied at will, and Julie spoke good Italian, but after a long time of speech, she still could not get rid of the bewildered look in the big eyes of the beautiful woman opposite.

It's just a trivial matter, and the men are very tacitly silent, but they are all watching with a joke mentality to see how the girl team will solve this problem. Anyway, the dormitory is their territory, and they have the final say.

But they still couldn't see the end after all, when Pang Yu Xie Xi and the others finally couldn't stay tired and found a place to sleep, with Hu Wen, Julie, Su Duxue, Wang Jiaojiao, and Zhu Yueyue as one side, and Miss Anastasia sat alone on the sofa chair opposite the glass coffee table as the other party, and the two sides were still negotiating seriously, neither to talk about ransom, nor to talk about politics, but about where the maid slept at night, until the next morning, when Pang Yu yawned and walked out of the temporary borrowed shed, I heard that last night a result was finally reached, and Miss Anna agreed to accept a roommate. But not your own servant. In the end, Julie was arranged to live with Her Royal Highness the princess, and the maid was in the same room with Hu Wen.

"Dizzy...... These girls can really toss......"

Pang Yu Lao Xie and the others could only smile bitterly, if they still came to talk about where there was such trouble, they would directly agree to keep it and disagree to get out, and it would be over, not to do so much shit.

As for Captain Andrew, he was quite easy to deal with, and just arranged for him to squeeze into a room with old Jack. Both sides were quite satisfied with the arrangement, and Old Jack was glad to meet a fellow Westerner, and as for the captain, he was obviously very interested in how a white European could mix with the Chinese. Trying to get news from Jack.

Unlike his versatile hostess, Captain Andrew doesn't speak English. But Jack himself knows a little bit of Latin and Western medicine people must read the original Latin works, just like studying Chinese medicine must go to the thread to bind books, so the two sides can barely communicate.

Before the battle, the staff had drawn up a number of plans and considered what they would do if the battle was won. What took advantage of the weakness to send troops to capture Qiongzhou Mansion; Or go west, go to Changhua County to grab Shilu iron ore...... And so on, all considered. Therefore, Lao Xie urged Pang Yu to come up with a specific action plan.

However, the first thing the traversers had to worry about after the war was the salvage of the wreck, which no one had thought of beforehand. To be more specific: salvage items from sunken ships.

The two Dutchman flue sailboats. One was rammed and sunk in the bay of Port Redpai, and the other was burned and sunk not too far from the coast. The hull itself has been completely destroyed and cannot be used, but the materials on it are still very valuable for salvageWood, cables, canvas and metal parts, etc., these things can be completely reused, and they must be salvaged while they have not been soaked in water for a long time.

So in the next few days, the main work of the engineering team, the military team, and those Western prisoners was to salvage the sunken ship. In the port of the red card, it is simpler: with small sampans and large wooden barrels, the crew repeatedly dives underwater, ties the ropes attached to the wooden barrels, and drags them ashore in batches.

As for the one outside, it can't be salvaged by the technology of this era alone. After discussion, everyone decided to let the last batch of diesel fuel left on the Qionghai use its residual heat for this purpose. There is a set of diving equipment on the ship, and the bottom of the ship is repaired; With the help of the ship's electric motor and oxygen pump and other facilities, it should be able to do the salvage work.

Captain Andrew was fortunate enough to board the Qionghai to assist, because the crossing requires some skilled sailors to act as divers to carry out underwater operations, and the underwater operation is very demanding, and in addition, the operation inside the collapsed Flue ship, if you don't understand the structure of this kind of ship, it is very easy to get into trouble, and the danger is very great, so I want to use Western sailors.

The attraction of this big iron ship to those seventeenth-century sailors cannot be overstatedOld Jack's side had just shown a little bit of a mouth, and the Western captives were in turmoil, including Captain Andrew, and all the crew members of the Princess Anna were very happy to board the Qionghai to do small work, even if they were the lowest-ranking slave sailors, and they were willing to brush the deck under the sun every day.

However, for safety reasons, the military team gave them only 10 places on board. As a result, Andrew naturally took the first place, and the other nine were all senior seamen on the Princess, so that almost no one was in charge of the salvage affairs within the port. In the end, the person in charge of the dispatch of Di Ade had to threaten: If the salvage in the port is not done well, none of you foreigners will want to get on the ship!

So Captain Andrew forced his first mate and third mate to take turns in charge of the internal salvage of the harbor (unfortunately the second mate was killed), but he himself insisted on staying in the helper team. On the day of departure, the Western captain slowly climbed the metal gangway of the Qionghai almost with trembling legs......

The first thing to do when you get on board is to meet the captain, which seems to be a very important etiquette on a Western ship. However, when Andrew, who was in his forties, saw that the captain of the Qionghai was actually only the hairy young man who was not more than twenty years old, his outstretched hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

Fortunately, modern people are very familiar with handshake etiquette, Xiao Huang shook hands with this Western senior a little shyly, no matter what aspect it is, this is indeed a senior. On the contrary, Andrew looked a little reluctant, he probably felt that the other party was playing tricks on him, and deliberately found a trainee sailor to accept his respect He knew Huang Xiaodong and had picked him up in a dinghy before. But he couldn't believe that the steel giant ship that had wrecked Princess Anna could be commanded by such a young fellow.

It's just that after the ship starts, he has to believe it, because Huang Xiaodong is personally at the helm, and the trainee sailor will never have the opportunity to touch the steering wheel. Even if this young man is not a captain, his status is definitely not low.

When the Qionghai sounded its long whistle and began what might have been its last voyage, the sailors of the West ran and shouted excitedly at the bow and stern. The big guys did not stop these outrageous actions, and the excitement and surprise of these Western seafarers are still relatively understandable to modern people.

"It's better to be lenient with them now, and we'll learn how to operate a sailboat from them in the future."

This is the common opinion of all the members of the staff group, although the Qionghai is advanced, but it seems that there is no fuel, and their future development at sea is likely to be pinned on this group of foreigners.

Andrew stayed in the wheelhouse, he observed all Huang Xiaodong's movements very carefully, trying to find out the secret of this steel ship that could move quickly without relying on sails or pulp. He had thought that he would be able to understand a qiē by coming to the ship and watching it in person, but now, his doubts were getting more and more numerous.
