Section 343 Tiger Leap Battle--The Battle of the Sea II
In front of Cheng is a lifting console, two sailors operate two large steering wheels in parallel, and on the side of them are joysticks that control the speed of left and right slurry rotation. Under the crystal plate of the intermediate platform of the steering wheel are the speedometer, compass and clock, as well as charts that can be rolled outside. Behind him are two Flying Crossbows and Grenade Launchers hidden in the turrets. Such a bridge has two pairs, one in the bow and one in the stern. The adjustment of the sails could all be done below deck, and even the retraction of the anchors was mechanical, so that there were not a few people visible on the top deck of the ship, except for the lookout posts on the mast. Of course, this is the morning, and the routine necessary cleaning is still necessary.
He held a telescope in one hand and a cable in the other, which was on his flagship frigate "Eagle". His telescope pointed in the direction of Shenzhou City, it had been two months since they had been patrolling the sea this time, and they were a little homesick, and the crew on the ship were also homesick. As long as they return to the base established on Pingzhang Island to replenish their supplies this time, and then go to Yanping to garrison, the brothers will also rest in batches for a few days.
According to the newly promulgated maritime law of Shenzhou City, all merchant ships appearing in the waters of China must unload their cargo at designated ports, otherwise it is an act of smuggling. However, this is not Zheng Zhaoji's liking, and it was not until the second half of the month that he suppressed more than a dozen pirate and Japanese ships and exchanged fire a little, that Zheng Zhaoji was satisfied. Fight naval battles with gale level, in a word, in a word-cool!
Of course, those guys were sent to Wenzhou to take care of them early. The most unpleasant task is to protect the fishery, not only to intercept merchant ships and crack down on bandits, but now as long as there are non-Chinese fishing boats nearby, they are not allowed to fish in the China Sea.
He was too satisfied with a ship like the Fury Tide-class frigate, of course, he heard that the larger destroyer in the shipyard was about to be built, and it was time for his flagship to be moved.
Zheng Zhaoji was satisfied with the oncoming sea breeze, he didn't like to drive the boat in the wheelhouse, although the wind couldn't blow there, the waves couldn't hit, but he always felt breathless. So as long as it's not raining and the wind and waves aren't strong, the helm station always rises above the deck, so it's more comfortable.
The voice of the person behind the "big brother" is quite rough, needless to say, it is naturally Huang Kehui. Speaking of which he was also a famous pirate at sea back then, he was later subdued by the Zheng family, and this time Zheng Zhaoji took the opportunity to set up a fleet to dig out of his father's team and serve as the captain of his own flagship.
"I don't sleep much, I was on duty all night last night!"
"Hey! Little brother is so sleepy, serious, our first mate, I have some worries in the past two days! ”
"Well, you mean Sun Mingyang?" In Zheng Zhaoji's eyes, this famous grandson of the Sun family in Shenzhou City, a smart and capable young man, although the family has money, but there has never been that kind of predator's face among the crew, what can he do?
"No, it's that kid, who is the first mate, doesn't pay attention to the impact. Last night, when I was on duty, I took the lead in drinking, which made me take a good look! ”
Zheng Zhaoji blinked, and shoved the telescope in his hand into Huang Kehui's hand, "Kehui, you are staring here, I'll go down and take a look." ”
Sun Mingyang was a little upset, because the last time he was in Wenzhou, he received a letter from home, which mentioned that his father had ordered a family affair for him. If he wants to talk about this, he really can't cry or laugh, the woman's family is a so-called big family in Fuzhou, and the family is very rich. But as far as I know, that family has continuously applied for naturalization in Shenzhou City and has been rejected, so why don't you want to "save the family" again, no matter how you say that you are also the first mate of this flagship, you really want others to know and not laugh off your big teeth. This is not for this matter, secretly drank last night, let the captain on duty at night catch it right, and give the training wilted brain.
The place on the ship is small, and every inch is so expensive. Therefore, except for the chief and deputy captain and the first officer, there is a separate cabin, and the rest of the crew are sleeping in bunks. There was only one bed and a small table with a cupboard in his cabin, which was very cramped, but it was good enough to have such a place.
I feel upset when I think of these things, and the best solution at this time is to secretly "click" on it. Reaching out from the pocket on the side of his leg, he took out a flat wine jug that almost all the crew members had in their hands, and "sipped" a sip of the good wine of Shenzhou City, smacking his lips, and his heart seemed to be more comfortable.
"Huh! Haven't you heard this sentence to drown your sorrow with wine? ”
Sun Mingyang shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, he only trained last night, and it seems that he can't run anymore today. He bowed his head as if in resignation.
"Hey, brother, didn't I say you, what a big deal you can't get by, is there a lack of money?" Zheng Zhaoji sat next to Sun Mingyang.
Sun Mingyang shook his head, he had never heard that the sailors on the battleship in Shenzhou City were short of money, not to mention their salaries, every time they came back from a patrol at sea, the bonus of the light hair was a large amount.
"Don't shake your head, I know I'm not right, but I just want to talk to you." Zheng Zhaoji said and took the wine jug from Sun Mingyang's hand and took a sip of it himself. After breathing a deep sigh of relief, he turned his head and said, "Brother, there is one thing you have to remember, who are we?" We are the Shenzhou Navy, we are soldiers! It's as ...... as wine. The Diandian wine jug in his hand seemed to weigh it, and then stuffed it back into Sun Mingyang's hand, and then continued: "Just like this drinking, how many seafarers don't drink?" As long as you don't drink it when you're on duty, as long as you drink it and clear the taste in your mouth, who can say that you have drunk? But there is one thing, you can't make a mistake! This is fundamental, and it is the responsibility of our soldiers. ”
Sun Mingyang nodded: "I understand!" As he spoke, he tucked the flask into the bag next to his lap.
"If you have something on your mind, sometimes it's good to talk to someone. It's not the way to do it! ”
Sun Mingyang sighed deeply, "Alas! You don't know, the last time we were in Wenzhou, we were ...... to feed."
Zheng Zhaoji patiently listened to Sun Mingyang's words, and then he remembered what Yue Xiaofei had said in class at that time, "You have to love your subordinates, not treat them as soldiers, they are your brothers, and they are people you can trust on the battlefield!" ”
At this moment, the "woo" siren sounded throughout the captain. The two of them were startled, jumped up at the same time, and quickly ran towards their posts.
