"Helen Marguerite de Bourbon!" Looking at the empty corridor, Huo Shan secretly said to himself, "Could it be that family?"
"Young Master, these people don't look simple, why don't I let the secret guard investigate the origin of these people?" Looking at the thoughtful expression on the young master's face, Huo Lei, who was standing on the side, asked.
Hearing this, Huo Shan shook his head gently, "No need, I probably already know the details of their details." After a pause, Huo Shan continued, "Just let the dark guards pay attention to their whereabouts!"
"Yes, young master!" Huo Lei Shen replied solemnly, the reason why he wanted to investigate the origin of these people was more to ensure Huo Shan's safety, after all, there was no naval escort of the Huo family army around them now, once something happened on this empty sea, there would be no one to help at that time, and it would be really dangerous at that time.
"Gone, Thunderson. We should go back!" At this time, Huo Shan didn't have the heart to enjoy the sea view anymore, and called Huo Lei and the two internal guards to turn back to the cabin.
After entering the door, Huo Shan sat down on the sofa, lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then said: "Leizi, let Ziqing contact the family and send us the general information of the European Bourbon family with unlimited electricity." ”
Since the establishment of Huo Jiajun's intelligence agency, his eyes have always been on the world. Although the acquisition of intelligence in Europe has always been a difficult point due to the quality of personnel, it has been difficult to obtain information over the years. Whether it is the Military Intelligence Agency or the Security Bureau, as well as the secret guards that are separately subordinate to the Huo family, they have woven a small and basic intelligence network around the world, especially in Europe.
In addition to collecting important military, political, and scientific and technological information, this intelligence network is also one of the elite figures and powerful families who can influence the political situation in European countries. Especially the Bourbons, which have been established for hundreds of years and have ruled many European countries such as Navarre, France, Spain, Naples and Sicily, Luxembourg, etc. The influence spreads all over Europe, and it is not inferior to the super nobles of the current British royal family, and it is the focus of the information collected by various intelligence departments of the Huo Jiajun.
"Yes. Master, I'll do it!" said Horay, who quickly got up and walked out.
After nodding, Huo Shan got up and took out the "Art of War" that he had read more than a dozen times from his luggage and flipped through it. In the past, he couldn't read a book like this almost once, and he lost interest at all. But now, especially after crossing over into this world. Re-read the writings of those famous sages in Chinese history. It made him change his previous contempt, and almost every time he finished reading, he had a new understanding.
Ancient Chinese art of war such as "The Art of War" and "Taigong Liutao", as well as "Twenty-four History", including "Historical Records", are the focus of Huo Shan's reading.
The cabin fell silent with the sound of the pages turning, and when he returned, Horay did not make a sound, but quietly stood aside, faithfully fulfilling his duties as a guard.
Time passed, although the invention of the radio greatly facilitated human contact. In this is more of a subversive technological innovation, but compared to those means of communication in later generations. But it's too bad, whether it's convenient xing, or timeliness xing, it's far from comparable. Therefore, by the time the information that Huo Shan needed was transmitted by slow radio, nearly three hours had passed. And this is still at his request, greatly simplifying the information, otherwise I am afraid that one day is not too enough.
"Hehe, it's exactly what I expected!" Putting down the information in his hand, looking at the delicate cabins around him illuminated by kerosene lamps, Huo Shan smiled secretly in his heart.
"Young Master, it's time for you to eat!" reminded Horay, who was standing on the side.
"Well, I'm really hungry when you say this!" The doubts in his heart were gone, Huo Shan's mood became happy, and now he had determined in his heart that the group of people he met on the deck in the afternoon belonged to the Bourbon family, the top aristocratic family in Europe, and the beautiful and amazing girl Helen was also a member of the French branch of the Bourbon family, and his grandfather was Louis Philippe, the last king of France who was overthrown in the February Revolution in 1848.
However, although the throne is gone, with the foundation accumulated over hundreds of years of ruling France, this branch of the Bourbon family in France still has some extraordinary influence on the military, political, economic and other aspects of France. Moreover, there is still a large number of French conservative nobles around this family, and the Huo family, which now controls the Nanyang Chinese People's Army, is not much weaker.
Half an hour later, Huo Shan put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, picked up the information of the Bourbon family that was put aside with his backhand, and after a quick glance, he shook his head lightly and put it aside. Although, now that he has ascertained the identities of these people, it is more out of curiosity, and he has no clue how to use them.
"Smack!" Just when Huo Shan put this matter aside for a while, picked up the "Art of War" on the table and continued to read, the window that was originally closed was suddenly blown open by a strong wind!
"Master, it's windy outside!" said Horay as he stood aside after one of the guards on duty closed the window.
"Well, I see!" Huo Shan replied, not taking it to heart, it was very common to encounter wind at sea. Moreover, he knew in his previous life that the windy season in the Nanyang region usually starts in May, and now it is only March, and the probability of encountering strong winds or even typhoons is very low, and Huo Shan does not think that his luck will be so unlucky.
However, within ten minutes, he realized that he was afraid that he was really in trouble this time.
"Crunch, sque......ak!" With the hoarse sound that constantly sounded around him, the cabin where Huo Shan was located shook suddenly, and the teacups, tea sets and other furniture piled on the table, as well as the luggage placed next to it, all fell to the ground with the shaking of the hull. If it weren't for the kerosene lamp with a lampshade and fixed to the wall, the cabin would have been dark.
"Young master, I'm afraid we're in trouble this time!" Huo Lei, who had traveled north and south with the Huo family's fleet in his early years, was very familiar with the climate change at sea.
Looking at the expression on Huo Lei's face, Huo Shan took a deep breath with a somewhat ugly face, and tightly held the pillar next to the supporting wall, "Don't panic, Leizi, you immediately let Ziqing and them use wireless telegraphy to send out our current situation and location." Then destroy all the classified documents. After a pause, after hesitating, Huo Shan said fiercely: "In addition, destroy the telegraph!"
Hearing this, Horay was startled, hesitated for a moment and said nothing, turned around and walked out with the cabin. Fortunately, the telegraph machine is next door, not far away, otherwise at this dangerous moment, Huo Lei would definitely not leave Huo Shan's side at this time.
After watching Huo Lei walk out, Huo Shan sighed secretly, although it was a pity to destroy the telegraph, but once the ship was blown apart by the wind, this major scientific and technological invention that could promote the progress of modern society in all aspects would fall into the hands of others, even if this might only be one percent, Huo Shan was not willing to take the risk, because wireless telegraphy was too important for military warfare.
"Zizhong, Zigang, you two remove the wallboard for me!" Huo Shan then said.
"Yes, young master!" As the descendants of the Huo family raised from below, Huo Zigang and Huo Zizhong did not hesitate to carry out Huo Shan's orders, and they kicked down the partition of the cabin with just a few flying kicks.
"Okay, eight pieces are enough, no more!" This time, there were only eight people accompanying Huo Shan, including himself, so after watching the two of them remove eight heavy planks from the wall that were more than two meters long and nearly ten centimeters behind, Huo Shan hurriedly asked them to stop.
"Young Master?" At this time, Huo Shan's cabin and the cabin next door had been completely opened, and Huo Lei saw Huo Shan holding the wooden pillar not far away, and the eight wooden planks on the ground.
"Huo Lei, Ziqing's affairs are done?" Looking at the already messy cabin and the shattered wireless telegraph on the ground, Huo Shan immediately asked.
"Well, young master, it's all over!" replied Horley.
"Okay, everyone, come here, no one has a plank, fix yourself on it with a rope!" Huo Shan commanded.
With the hull shaking sharply, the sound of the wind roaring like a cow outside, and the sound of the hoarse wood breaking around him, Huo Shan knew in his heart that the ship could not hold out for long. Therefore, he must be prepared for how to escape after falling into the water.
Hearing the young master's order, Huo Lei and the other Huo family internal guards did not hesitate at all, and took action one after another, because they knew very well that once they fell into the water, as long as they had this piece of wood, they would not be hit by the big waves to the bottom of the sea and not be able to get up.
Unfortunately, there was no shortage of wood in the cabin, but there was not a single rope that was strong enough.
"Tear off all the curtains, form a rope, one for each person, and if it's not enough, use the clothes on your body. Listening to the young master's orders, everyone took action one after another, but in just a few minutes, a wooden board for each person was firmly fixed on several people.
"Huo Lei, open the door and let's go out!" Huo Shan said quickly with a hint of anxiety on his face.
"Young master, do you want to wait any longer, in case it ......!" Horay persuaded.
"No case, Lei Zi is now, do you still think this ship can survive?" Huo Shan waved his hand to interrupt Huo Lei's words, and said solemnly. )
