The 5 pieces of god core are definitely an unexpected harvest for Zhao Jian.

Ethiopia is also an independent country, and like many small and medium-sized countries, the Divine Core is "state-owned property". As a feudal emperor, Selassie I has all the divine cores and giant gods from the legal level, and it is estimated that he may have 600~800 divine cores in his hands, ranking first in African countries.

During Ethiopia's "Golden Five" years, Selassie I wanted to use these cores, but his country's weak industrial capacity was in front of him, and he had to order hulls from foreign shipyards.

At that time, Selassie I had the intention of moving closer to the white European society, so in the choice of shipyards, he signed a contract with the British Portsmouth shipyard and ordered 40 2,500-ton freighters, a 7,000-ton cruiser and four 3,500-ton destroyers in one go.

Originally, the first batch of these ships was supposed to be delivered at the beginning of 35 years, but the British seized the hulls in the name of a "military embargo", and the Portsmouth shipyard took the opportunity to repay the debts and refused to return the deposit from the Egyptian side. This treacherous act made Selassie I angry, but he did not take the other side at all.

Since the Divine Core himself couldn't use it for a while, Selassie I simply sent 5 small pieces to Zhao Jian, and at the same time he also gave Zhao Jian 100 kilograms of gold as activity funds. He is not afraid that the other party will abscond with the money, anyway, this war will inevitably have a "heavy hemorrhage", and it is definitely better to let Zhao Jian cheat it than to let the Italians snatch it.

"I'm waiting for your good news, Mr. Zhuge ."

With 5 divine cores and the pile of gold, Zhao Jian led people back to Addis Ababa, preparing to rush back to China overnight. At this time, the Pingbo had just completed repairs, and the maintenance personnel were in a hurry, and they didn't care about any beauty, so they used steel plates to fill the holes. Pingbo expressed great dissatisfaction with this, and jumped on the maintenance worker's head and stepped on it all the time, which made Qin Heng, who stayed behind, a headache for this little guy.

After Zhao Jian returned, everyone stayed until the moon was dark in the second half of the night, and then quietly rose into the air in the darkness. In order to increase concealment, Zhao Jian specially asked someone to use crushed cinders to mix black paint and evenly apply it to the hull. This did work out, but Aimei's little Pingbo was clearly unhappy with the hull being painted in the "most dazzling African style".

"Alright! Don't be angry, you'll wash it off when you get to the Philippines. ”

"Humph!"

"Do you want to eat a snack to cool off?"

"Ahh

“……”

Looking at Ping Bo, who hung on his fingers like a fish biting a hook, Zhao Jian suddenly felt that he was actually quite similar to this little thing. It's just that he uses cream cakes to fish Pingbo, while others use real money to fish for themselves.

The perilous course of Ethiopia's business was well known, but when Selassie I laid out the piles of gold, he felt that he dared to take any risk. Wealth and danger are sought! Zhao Jian, who is convinced of this, actually has a deep gambler mentality.

After liftoff, the Pingbo quickly gained altitude, and it was the rainy season, and God had the virtue of "urine" at any time, and it had to break through to the clouds before it rained. And on the way up, they also had to be extra careful, because there were many Italian warships patrolling nearby.

But it's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes! Although Zhao Jian believes that the "law of conservation of character" is the great truth of objective existence, he did not expect that he had only gone to the "Great Luck" for less than 1 day, and the "debt chaser" came to the door to urge his life!

As soon as the Pinnathan broke through the clouds, it met a detachment of Italian destroyers. One of the two sides was ready to go up and the other was ready to go down, and such a big sky was stunned to crash head-on at the top of the clouds.

At the moment when the Pingbo drilled out of the clouds, the distance between the bows of the two ships was not even 50 meters! Fortunately, the three fat men of the helmsman reacted quickly enough, and an emergency evasion could pass through the opponent's zigzag formation. Zhao Jian could even see the bunch of stunned faces on the opposite bridge.

Italy's destroyer detachment consisted of three Whirlwind-class ships, and was preparing to sneak down to carry out a night attack while it was dark, but they never expected to collide with a black thing on the way. The Turbine and the Pingbo passed by, and the hull friction produced a cacophony of noise and a lot of sparks, and many of the sailors on that side were almost instantly deaf.

"! What was it that just passed!? ”

"Okay, it looks like a battleship......

“……”

There was a dead silence in the bridge, but it only lasted less than 3 seconds before it exploded!

"Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate! It's too late for Nima to stop running! ”

"Young master, they turned around and chased after you!"

The three Italian destroyers, after their initial shock, quickly recovered. Although the Whirlwind class is a destroyer with a tonnage of less than 2,000, it is very fast in victory, and it is absolutely impossible to get rid of them by fighting the speed of Pingbo alone, so Zhao Jian decisively took advantage of his advantage in the upper wind and released billowing smoke backwards.

In order to enhance the ability to escape, at the beginning of the construction of the Pingbo, a lot of "sockets" were reserved according to the requirements of the Zhao ship, and after they officially took over, these sockets were pressed with many devices that normal freighters would not have. With billowing smoke, the Pinami jumped up and down in the air in an S-shaped route. The Italian destroyers, who recognized them as Ethiopian ships, also abandoned their ground missions and pursued them relentlessly.

The Italian fleet's first priority at the moment was to blockade Ethiopia, so from the moment they encountered the Pinnacle, the priority had automatically shifted to "shoot it down".

Soon the three destroyers that caught up began to bombard, the 120mm naval guns can be said to be specially designed to hit merchant ships, but the poor visibility and smoke at night affected their shooting accuracy, coupled with the Pingbo's coquettish evasive maneuver, even a single shot could not be hit, but the anti-aircraft machine guns suffered a lot.

"Young master, those guys are biting too hard, they can't get rid of it!"

"Keep in the air and fly into space as soon as possible."

At this critical moment, the baby-faced Du Qixi, who usually doesn't like to be silent much, suddenly shouted uncharacteristically. And after he finished shouting, Zhao Jian also cast a surprised look at him.

In this situation, it doesn't really make much sense to fly that way, as long as those destroyers behind them catch up, it won't take them three minutes to blast them into a pile of splinters. And Du Qixi let them fly into space at such a time, Zhao Jian couldn't help but wonder if he knew something he didn't know.

There was no time to hesitate, and Zhao Jian, who had no choice, agreed to Du Qixi's construction and ordered the whole ship to fly towards outer space at full speed at the maximum elevation angle. Pingbo, who was speeding up with all his strength, and even the gravity imperial system in the cabin was somewhat overwhelmed, and everyone suddenly had a sense of instability that flickered around.

It only took 17 minutes for Pingbo to break through the atmosphere and enter space, the first time they had crossed beyond low-Earth orbit, the great shadow of the Earth was behind them, but as the Earth's autobiography and their continued progress, the sun's rays were spilling over the horizon little by little.

If it weren't for the Italian destroyers behind him still frantically pouring cannonballs at them, Zhao Jian would definitely have a good look at this beautiful scenery that he had never seen in his previous life.

"Lao Du, we're in outer space, what should we do next?"

"Wait, wait a minute......"

"Wait for your brother-in-law!?"

finally rushed up, Du Qixi, who was pinned on by Zhao Jian and everyone, actually showed off at such a time, and Zhao Jian, who was not good-looking, couldn't help but take out his pistol. If the Italians rushed up and started to gather fire, he would definitely have to give this baby-faced cannon a shot before it was destroyed!

Just when everyone thought that everything was over, several black dots suddenly appeared on the horizon. These black dots quickly flew towards them, and Zhao Jian looked at them with a telescope, and could vaguely judge that the other party was a warship, but for a while, he couldn't distinguish the type of ship.

The one led by just looking at the size knows that it must be a large battle ship of the heavy patrol level or above, and it is also a high-speed type! The other party approached and waved a light to this side, and Zhao Jian found that the other party was actually warning the Italian destroyers, saying that they were attacking their own evacuation ships, and if they did not stop shooting immediately, they would also launch an attack.

"Yes, my own people?"

There were also several other old sailors who saw the lantern language, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and finally their eyes converged on Du Qixi, who might know, hoping that he would give an answer, but this thing turned his head very poorly and pretended to look around at the scenery. Everyone had the intention of taking him "full martial arts" once, but in the end they endured it and waited for those friendly warships to approach.
