Chapter 35: Set sail
"How can others believe you when there is no beginning or an end."
Kane hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "The coastal area of Bru in the New World is a desert that no one wants, and the empire and kingdom originally didn't care about it, but with the geographical discovery, three years ago, the kingdom expedition team found a long mountain range in the depths, and the environment was quite good because of the abundant rainfall on the side.
Moreover, the expedition team also located more than one mining site, and the information later revealed that the ownership of the area caused a dispute between the two local nobles of the large fiefdom, because it meant that Blue was fully qualified to become a key port, and even open a new shipping route accordingly.
The two sides applied for assistance from their respective hubs, which eventually led to a small naval battle between the empire and the kingdom at the beginning of the new passage, and whoever could achieve the final victory would be able to continue to support the fiefdom nobles, which would be equivalent to holding the Bru region in their hands. ”
In the room, Mu Yunmo rubbed his chin and said, "Does the captain know the cause of this incident?" ”
Kane sneered, "I should be able to guess it, without sufficient interests, it is impossible for the two sides to go to war, comparing the charts and routes, there are only a few reasons." ”
Mu Yun nodded and didn't ask, this guy's way of showing his identity was very vague.
"I'm starting to expect pay."
"Don't, as long as I can get through these days, I can get several medals."
Kane waved his hand and replied, not only the Loren in front of him, but also the officers on the entire ship, he had almost taken care of it, and there were very few candidates who had entered the fleet in the past three months, and the nobles felt the wind and grass, and they all vigilantly let their own heirs avoid this limelight.
"Of course, I also hope to live until the end of the war."
Mu Yun sent Kane, who had said goodbye and left, out the door, and then lay back on the bed and thought quietly.
The other party took the initiative to hint that his identity was extraordinary, indicating that he was really afraid of death, so most of the candidates for the position were not requested by themselves, and at the same time, the possibility of running away from home was reduced to infinitely low.
Mu Yun looked sideways at the wine bottle on the table.
"Wine, identity, pass.
The second generation, higher than the power of the lieutenant colonel.
Logistics, peace, transactions.
War, interruption.
Fourth-class ship, covert
Natives, non-aristocrats.
The reputation is not obvious, and he is not the eldest son. ”
Kane returned to the room, completely unexpectedly, after just one conversation, the other party was already about to guess his identity and mission, in fact, if his father didn't give him something to save his life, he wouldn't want to get on the boat if he was killed.
……
In the middle of the night, when the wind changed, the sail chief commanded the sailors to lower the sails, and eight strong sailors turned the iron shaft at the stern of the ship in unison, and the anchor slowly rose from the bottom.
The second mate hurriedly made a final check on the guns, ammunition and material reserves, and the whole ship of more than 400 people was immediately busy, and even the captain Mogg was observing astronomy on the top floor of the front building of the ship, and if he wanted to lead a warship, he must master the knowledge of astronomy, geometry, navigation, and so on.
The sailors on board, including most of the officers, did not know that the destination of the trip would be the battlefield in the Bona Sea, but some experienced veteran crew members had noticed that the situation was not right.
"Are we going to be frigates this time?"
At the port, not only No. 412, but also three ships with the same number 4 began to set sail, but the most chilling thing was that the alchemy ironclad ship that had only recently entered service also moved.
No. 1, battle sequence No. 9, and No. 109 are giant warships powered by alchemy cores, and this behemoth is generally a deterrent from a base.
Captain's room, Mog looked out of the open window solemnly, even he was not informed of this matter, a small intensity naval battle was going on in the Bona Sea, and it was not difficult for the Second Fleet to invest such forces towards the front line and win a partial victory, but it would undoubtedly make the intensity of the war skyrocket, which should be a result that neither side wanted to see, and a channel was not worth opening a national war.
"Unless, the military department is sure that the empire will take care of itself for the time being afterwards."
Mu Yun was bowing his head to sort out the documents on the side, and when he saw this, there were only two Navy candidates in the 412th period, and Kane's work was relatively easy, mainly cooperating with the second officer to coordinate the distribution of materials, and as for someone, he was directly called to be a secretary, a part-time herald, a guard, a front-line combatant, and an acting adjutant.
Mog said calmly: "Don't speculate, don't discuss, don't think too much, our mission this time is estimated to be to cooperate with the other three fourth-level ships to escort the [Night Watch] to the battlefield in concealment, if it weren't for the second- and third-level targets, the mission should not be our turn." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange machine began to rumble on the mahogany desk, and after a while, the white paper placed below revealed the text.
The Wizards Association of the Kingdom has made this kind of communication machine according to the characteristics of [Dibit], and the information is transmitted back to the military department, and then sent to the recipient by the military department's liaison room, and the machine called [biposition] is the main communication tool at sea.
[From now on, the No. 412 three-sail cruiser is ordered to escort the flagship to the waters of Bona and be responsible for the security of the east side during the voyage, to expel or annihilate the approaching ships, to take the concealment of the flagship as the primary task, the night watch should be kept intact before arrival, avoid firing, and during the critical period, the escort formation should cover the retreat of the flagship.] ]
Mogg tossed the paperwork to Mu Yun and asked, "What can you discern?" ”
"Human life is not worth as much as shells."
Mog was stunned, and his answer was too essential and not good, and he said helplessly: "We may be subject to various temptations along the way, and the empire must know that there is a problem with this voyage, but as long as we don't let the other party know what the specific problem is, our mission will be completed." ”
Mu Yun thought thoughtfully, "Therefore, the first thing to do is to prevent the news from leaking, [the two-bit] is precious and not easy to carry, so the most vigilant thing is that the crew will pass the news of the 109 launch to the shore and shoot the seabirds." ”
Mogg looked at the young man in front of him seriously for a moment, and sure enough, it made sense that the count was willing to support this nephew.
"Do you know how to play with muskets?"
"I understand a little."
"You keep an eye on it for a while, shoot all the seabirds that take off from 412, and the second officer will secretly search for possible contact instruments while the supplies are counted."
Mogg took an alchemy spear engraved with an ornate pattern from his waist and placed it in front of the window, while taking out a normal bullet from his belt bag, the seabird was not worth using alchemy bullets.
"What if someone on the shore leaks the news."
Mu Yun walked over, picked up the short gun, and was eager to try.
"What does that have to do with me, I'm just the captain of the 412, and this kind of thing should fall to the Coast Defense Office."
The formation consisting of a flagship and four frigates quickly left the coast, when there was a commotion on the deck, and in the captain's room, Mu Yun could see the three seagulls fluttering their wings and taking off with the faint lights, which was the last and only chance to deliver the message.
"There's no need to be too stressful, I can make up for it, and there are still a lot of review stages in this urgent process."
