Chapter 83: Lectures

"Dutong, it's over here. The www.biquge.info officer who led the way respectfully introduced.

Following his guidance, the middle-aged general wearing strange armor walked into the room, he had long since lost his original spirit, and now his beard was scumbag, his hair was a little messy, and he looked a little lonely.

The door to the room opened, and it was a six-person naval quarters, and six of the Navy soldiers were kneeling on the ground, their heads buried deep in their knees.

In the center of the room, two white cloths were laid, on which lay the corpses of two soldiers with some blues.

"When did you find out?" the general's voice was calm and didn't fluctuate much.

"Back to the capital, it's in the morning!" a soldier lying on his stomach raised his head slightly, and reported a little nervously: "Yesterday we were in charge of the night watch, and the four of us were in charge of the deck, and the two of them were in charge of the cabin. ”

"Have you checked it all?, is it suicide?" the general asked, anger suppressed in his voice.

"Back to the capital, they have all been checked, there are no traces of fighting, and the strangulation marks are also consistent with the traces of suicide, and the soldiers in the dormitory next to them did not hear any movement last night...... It should be suicide!" explained an officer standing outside the room, his face full of apprehension.

"What a bunch of rubbish!" The middle-aged general gritted his teeth, his tone full of anger: "It's only been less than a year, and all of them have been looking for me to die and live! Last month, three people threw themselves into the sea, and this time two of them hanged themselves, are they still soldiers of the empire? Is this still the glorious navy of the empire? Is there still a little loyalty? Is there still a sense of honor? What a bunch of rubbish! A bunch of ...... of misbreeds"

After venting for a while, the middle-aged general calmed down and issued an order: "Carry them to the deck and prepare for a sea burial!

With that, he strode out of the room.

In just ten minutes, hundreds of naval soldiers and officers gathered on the deck, standing straight in a neat formation in the bumps of the waves. And the two corpses were placed at the front of the crowd.

Then, the middle-aged general also appeared, stood on top of the ship, and looked at the straight and silent military formation below. It's just that for a long time, he didn't make a sound.

There was silence for five minutes before he spoke, his voice serious: "Just yesterday, two more cowards took their lives in shame in the cabin! Yes, they were cowards! Their actions were shameful! They were scumbags! I don't know why they chose to do this, or what they were worried about, what they feared, what they feared. I don't care about any of these things!"

The general's voice was unequivocal: "All I know is that we are soldiers! We are glorious warriors of the Empire! We are loyal courtiers of His Majesty the Emperor! We should be fearless! Yes, we are lost, and that unprecedented storm has caused us to deviate from the course and the guidance of the fleet, to this strange, damned place! We have lost our way home......"

"But so what! Under our feet are the most advanced warships of the Empire! It is the main battleship of the Shanyue-class! It is the first-order battleship of the Empire second only to the Penglai-class and Kunlun-class! We have three hundred Xuanjing guns, and a city-destroying Xuanjing main gun! Even those powerful monsters who can fly can be killed with one shot! And their primitive sailing ships can't catch up with us at all!" The general's voice was full of passion: "On the ocean, we are invincible! No one can defeat us!"

"After all, this is a strange place, it still takes time to find the way home, Liu Zhangzheng has been surveying and mapping the star map in the sky, and the progress is very good, I believe that it should not be long before he can find the direction where we are and find the way home for us! At this time, we need to be more patient!" The middle-aged general said bitterly: "I know that the sea is vast, and everyone has worries and fears, but I am the same! It's just that I have overcome my worries and overcome my fears!" Because I know that I am a courtier of His Majesty the Emperor! My family has been loyal for generations, and I must fulfill the duty entrusted to me by His Majesty! And now, my duty is to do everything possible to bring you back!"

"I'll take everyone back, including them. The middle-aged general waved his hand, and more than a dozen soldiers came out carrying a row of cans: "They sacrificed their lives for the country, died in this unknown land, died at the hands of the flying demon, or died in pain, they died a glorious death, they are the heroes of the empire! Therefore, we will take them back so that they can return to Sangzi and be buried in their hometown." ”

Then, the general pointed to the two corpses below, and his tone became stern again: "But they are not included! They are cowards! They are waste! They are disgraced! The three who threw themselves into the sea last month are forgotten, these two cowards hanged in the house, and I will not take them back! They only deserve to return to the sea and die in the belly of a fish!"

As he spoke, the general clapped his hands and gave the order: "Give them a sea burial!"

Hearing his order, two of his own soldiers stepped forward, lifted one of the corpses, and came to the side of the ship.

A hole was opened in the side of the ship, and a short plank hung down with it, and the body was lifted onto it, and as soon as the two let go, the body slid down with the plank and fell into the sea with a pop. Immediately after, there was a second corpse, and there was another pop, but in just a dozen seconds, the two corpses disappeared completely.

Looking at the rows of soldiers on the deck who were still standing straight, the middle-aged general waved his hand: "Please remember your loyalty! Remember your original oath! Remember the expectations that His Majesty the Emperor gave us to the navy! We are soldiers! We are the glorious naval soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor! Okay, disband!"

The soldiers on the deck dispersed one after another, patrolling and patrolling, cleaning and cleaning, and one by one, they were busy.

Leaving the ship's building, the Admiral descended the stairs to a cabin below deck.

This cabin is very spacious and huge, unlike other small and crowded cabins, because this is the gun bay, where the ship's most powerful weapon, the city-ruined Xuanjing main cannon, is stored!

Stroking the huge iron pillar engraved with countless fine runes, he sighed and came to the side of the round shell-shaped base at the bottom of the iron pillar.

Bah, Bah, Bah

I knocked on the steel base three times, but after a while, a small door opened on the base, and a middle-aged man in simple short clothes walked out.

"Lord Dutong!" The middle-aged man hurriedly reported: "What do you command?"

The general waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just here to ask, how much Xuanjing reserves are there now?"

"Oh, to Lord Totong. The middle-aged man walked out of the base and knelt down on one knee and said: "Now there are still 1,100 small Xuanjing, which is generally enough to use, but there are only seven large artillery Xuanjing left, if there are a few more battles like last time, I am afraid it will be ......."

"Okay, I got it. The Shogun interrupted his report and muttered, "Seven, ah......"
