Chapter 412: It's Back
In his office, Huang Shi was anxiously waiting for the "Hope", he circled around the wide boss's table, if he never smoked, otherwise he would have been thrown full of cigarette butts under his feet now, he kept reassuring himself that Hu Guang was on the ship, it should be fine, but the nervous mood still couldn't stop for a moment.
As a person who is almost at the age of confusion, he should be at a stable age, and it has been more than half a year since he came to this world, and he has experienced a lot of things, so he should not have behaved like this. That is, when it comes to danger, when he attacked Jiangjiazhuang that time, he was considered to have risked the arrows himself, and he had never been so nervous and unsure.
Maybe it's just because there are too many people on this ship, not only Hu Guang and a few soldiers, but also those boatmen who have been trained, and more importantly, there are more than 50 children on board, among which there are Ning Zhiyuan and Mu Ziyuan, who are favored by him, and Wang Xiaoya, who was regarded as her daughter in the first place.
The "Hope" set off early in the morning the day before yesterday to pick up the people who were supposed to be waiting on Langqi Island, so under normal circumstances, they rested on the island for the night before yesterday, and set off for the return voyage the morning before yesterday, and should have returned to Dongluo Island in the evening, but there has been no news about this ship until now.
Through the radio station, Huang Shi also contacted Wen Desi and them at the Fuzhou Prefecture Intelligence Station, who replied that everything was normal, that Hu Guang and their mission a few days ago was going well, and that the two target people, one had been investigated by the Yamen and died of a drunken illness, while the other was abducted by thieves outside the city.
Huang Shi wondered if there was something delayed on Langqi Island, so yesterday he asked Wen Deji to send someone to the island to ask, and send a telegram back when there was news. However, Fuzhou City is also nearly a day's water journey from Langqi Island, and it will take at least two days to go back and forth.
The lack of a positive telegram and the failure of the "Hope" to return to Hong Kong made Huangshi's anxious mood worse day by day.
To this day, he even has a kind of unfortunate "premonition", this sea disaster is many, and there are many pirates, he can't think about if the "Hope" can't come back, then how he should deal with it, this is the biggest crisis in the past six months, not only will have a great impact on the morale of the island, but also cast a shadow of defeat on his soul.
"Alas, in the first place, Liang Hao should have been asked to make a few more radio transmitters, not only on the island and at the intelligence station, but also on the base of Langqi Island, which serves as a transfer station, and on the sailing ship of the 'Hope'."
Huang Shi regretted it very much, because he wanted to test it to see if there was anything that needed to be improved, so he only let the rich second-generation good trench who loved cats make two, and from now on, there is no problem with the function, and it can be mass-produced.
Although Liang Erdai has never been able to contact each other since he finished making these two radio stations, the circuit diagrams he drew with CAD are still there, as long as Huangshi has someone remake the plate one day.
On the side of Huangshi, he was secretly anxious, praying to the gods and Buddhas in his heart, and on the other hand, he made up his mind that if he passed this level, he would produce this kind of radio station at full capacity and match it to every mission force, so that no matter what happened, he could know the result, and it was better than this anxious and depressed waiting.
……
Suddenly, Huang Shi heard the sound of a walkie-talkie outside his office, but because Hong'er was talking quietly outside in the past two days, he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he wanted to open the door immediately to see, but he still held back, he was afraid that he would hear bad news.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Huang Shi was about to say "come in", but after opening his mouth, he didn't make a sound, he quickly walked back to his desk, sat down in his chair, took a few deep breaths to calm down, he didn't want his subordinates to see his anxious mood.
He rubbed his face with both hands, then picked up a random document from the table, pretended to be looking at it, coughed lightly, and then said, "Come in!"
Hong'er pushed open the door and walked in, she said with a smile, "Chief, the 'Hope' is back!" ”
The "Hope" has been gone for several days, but there is no news, and like all those who know the inside story, Hong'er also has some doubts, but she is not as nervous as Huang Shi, because she knows that there is a Hu chief like Huang on the ship that returns to the ship, although his mana is not as powerful as Huang Yuan, but after all, he is an immortal in the upper realm, and there should be no danger in the slightest wind and waves on the sea.
"Huh?" After losing his mind for a while, Huang Shi suddenly realized that he asked, "Is it true?" ”
Hong'er nodded heavily, "Yes, chief, the soldier on duty on the mountain informed me that the watchtower has seen the 'Hope' sign. ”
"Great, great!" The stone in Huang Shi's heart fell suddenly, and his anxious and depressed mood suddenly became ecstatic, and he stood up with a "Huo" sound, and shook the table in front of him with a "click".
Hong'er had seen that Huang Shi was in a bad mood before, except for staying on the top of the mountain for a long time yesterday morning, and then she almost locked herself in the house, she was naturally cautious, she didn't dare to make a loud noise, and she didn't dare to enter the house to disturb him.
According to the chief, it was to let him stay quietly for a while, she knew that the chief was waiting for news from the "Hope", but she couldn't understand why he was so nervous. However, when she suddenly heard the good news today, she naturally remembered to report to the chief immediately.
Hong'er was so happy to see the chief, and even her somewhat gloomy mood in the past two days suddenly became sunny, and the smile on her face became even bigger.
Huang Shi put the document in his hand on the table, and then he realized that when he took it just now, he didn't know that the document was reversed, and he pretended to look at it for a long time, and he didn't know if Hong'er had found it.
So he smiled and asked, "Hahaha, that's really good news, thank you, Hong'er." By the way, is the ship in port now? ”
"Not yet, chief." Hong'er thought for a moment and replied, "But the 'Hope' is not far from our island, and the flag on our ship has already been seen through the telescope on the watchtower just now." ”
"Okay, that's supposed to be our ship." Huang Shi nodded, although the ships of this era generally had flags, but they were all pennants, or hanging flags, which were completely different from the modern flag style.
There are many flags in the ancient army, these flags have different colors, sizes and shapes, not only patterns, decorations, but also certain significance. For example, if there is an identity, the emperor's flag is called "Chang", and the sun and moon are painted on it, indicating the dawn of heaven. The commander is in the center of the army, with the yellow tooth flag, which is the head of the four flags of green, red, white and black.
There are also directions, such as the green flag for the east, the red flag for the south, the white flag for the west, the black flag for the north, and the yellow flag for the center.
Those who have commanded formations and formations should raise green flags to set up straight formations, white flags to cloth phalanxes, red flags to set up sharp formations, black and black cloth to form curved formations, and yellow flags to set up ring formations.
There are also flags used for command and opening the way, such as a yak tail on the head of the flagpole, multicolored folded feathers underneath, and so on.
However, these flags are generally either written with people's names or surnames, or some dragons, snakes and beasts are painted on them, in short, they are very concrete, which is completely different from the flags of modern society that are mainly symbols and colors.
On the mast of the "Hope" hangs the modern Chinese naval flag, because Huangshi has always been a take-it-or-leave-it, he even copied the national flag, the renminbi, as well as the hammer and sickle flag, and a series of military flags of this army will naturally not let go.
China's naval flag was designed only after the formation of the People's Navy in 1949, and the "August 1" military flag was finally determined by the ******** as the naval flag. The flag is rectangular and red, with a golden five-pointed star in the upper left corner, the word "Bayi" of the same color under the star, and a blue and white stripe representing the ocean in the lower part of the flag.
It is said that other flag styles such as the captain's flag were also designed in the flag plan submitted by the navy to the central government for approval at that time, but they were not approved, and their schema is unknown.
The first naval flag of China's modern navy appeared in 1862. It is made of yellow feather yarn, which is a triangle in shape, and the flag is painted with a "flying dragon playing with pearls" pattern. The dragon is cyan, with five claws, and its head is up, and the beads are red. The yellow color in the middle represents the Manchus, and the flying dragon symbolizes China. But this flag was not identified as an official naval flag.
After the initial construction of the Beiyang Fleet, the Navy once again designed to determine the naval flag. In 1888, the Beiyang Navy Regulations made it clear that the naval flag was rectangular, yellow, and feathered dragon flag. The pattern on the flag is according to the old system, but the dragon pattern is changed to a blue feather moule. This flag is also the bow flag of the Navy.
After the Xinhai Revolution, the government of the Republic of China began to design the naval flag of the Republic of China. Its flag is the blue sky and white sun flag, the flag is red, the upper left corner is inlaid with the blue sky and white sun pattern, and there are 12 mangjiao around the white sun emblem, which is the number of dry branches, which is used instead of 12 hours.
Therefore, as soon as Huangshi heard that the soldiers on the lookout saw the naval flag, he knew that it must be his "Hope" back.
"Let's go to the port together!" Huang Shi was in a good mood, and before Hong'er could react, he had already picked up the coat and hat hanging on the hanger, and then pushed open the door and walked out.
