Chapter 463: Captured Witnesses
The two Shengli-class capital ships returning to Hong Kong were greeted by the mezzanine, or about ten nautical miles, two Chunxiao-class patrol boats came to greet them -- these lucky ships naturally did not enter Liu Xiang's eyes, to be honest, she is used to being a pirate leader, what ship has she never seen in front of her? No matter how big the ship is, it is just the battleship of Medno towed in front, and these two lucky ships are nothing at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Info But soon she heard cheers from the deck outside the cabin, and through the broken walls, she could see the large crowd of thieves and sailors running around on the deck, waving their hats at the front of the march, and she was so happy.
At this time, Liu Xiang also heard a strange sound, it was a very rhythmic mechanical sound, she had never heard it, and she felt very curious, but she couldn't see it at all from her position. Soon the sound shifted to the sides of the hull, and gradually reached the rear of the ship, and only then could Liu Xiang follow the sound and see two strange small iron boats through the window of the ship. These boats must be made of steel, and the metal material on the hull could not be more obvious, and if it was strange to her that these steel ships could float on the water, it was even more strange to her that neither boat had an oar, but could only see the water at the stern being pushed under the water as if there was a huge oar, stirring up two waves. The speed of the two self-propelled iron ships was so fast that even a horse could not run on the ground, and she could even feel the waves stirred up by these iron clippers that caused her three-masted warship to sway on the surface of the sea.
If she felt a little unwilling to lose under the hands of the two giant ships before, but after all, it was the stuff of the Medenor people, but how about the wooden giant bird that flew in the sky before? She could clearly see that the giant bird was attacking her fleet in the air, sinking more than one ship, wasn't that thing a fetish made by the Yaning people? At this time, when I saw these two iron clippers, I felt even more shocked, the thief turned out to have something that even the Maidno people did not necessarily have.
Liu Xiang thought all the way, the fleet soon arrived at the periphery of Dongfang Port, she didn't know, but there were thieves outside talking loudly to the inside, "It's almost time to Dongfang Port, you guys are ready, someone will come on board to receive the prisoners." β
"Receiving prisoners?" The sergeant in charge of guarding the prisoners inside muttered, "Could it be from the Intelligence Bureau?" Or is it from the Sheriff's? With a hint of sympathy, he glanced at Liu Xiang and the other pirate leaders.
Liu Xiang didn't know what the two places he muttered were for, but judging from the expression on the man's face, it shouldn't be a good place, and he might even kill himself. She looked out a little nervously, and this look didn't matter, and she was directly stunned. In the distance on the left, there was a huge steel giant ship that people couldn't believe it, she couldn't help but take a step back, and several pirate leaders around her looked over inexplicably, and also saw the steel giant ship, and they were all stunned, "What is this?" Why is it so big? β
The Dongfeng is moored next to the entrance channel of the Oriental Harbor, this location is convenient for the Dongfeng to moorth, and the channel has been specially cleaned several times, and now the Dongfeng often has naturalized naval soldiers on board to scrub the deck and bulwark, this meritorious giant ship that took the veterans to the new time and space at this time has a new look, and is looking down on the fleet returning to the port with a leader's attitude.
"Meow, it's like an interstellar destroyer returning to the Death Star." Lin Chuanqing looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but say to himself, "Now if a birdman makes a "Emperor ** March", it will be the right time." β
In the distance, the artillery on the Dongfeng was loading, not for the attack on the returning fleet, of course, but as a salute to the fleet.
Accompanied by the smoke and dust rushing into the sky, the huge cannon sound echoed in the sky above Dongfang Port, which made Liu Xiang startled, could it be that the thieves and the Maidno people had made a fuss? Are Medenor people not allowed to enter the port now? Before I could finish thinking about it, the fleet on this side also sounded the same resounding cannon sound in the sky. She followed the prestige, and almost her nose was crooked, but she still fired with the guns of the three-masted battleship...... "Meow, I don't know when there will be enough hexagonal guns." Yang Junbo muttered to himself, the spring cannon basically has no sound when firing the cannon, especially when the salvo is fired, there is no momentum at all, this is thanks to the capture of a battleship with a cannon, otherwise the salute cannons can't find the sound of cannons, so they won't have to hit the spring cannon into the sea to hear a sound, right?
Several ships entered the military port of Dongfang Harbor, and only after tying cables did someone come and open the door of the captain's room, several people who were also wearing white military uniforms poured in, and the first one made Liu Xiang hate to find a crack in the ground to get inβit was Zhong Bin.
Zhong Bin was also stunned, "I came here when I heard that Sister Liu Xiang was captured, fortunately!" β
Liu Xiang almost roared, "What's the luck? I'm glad you still have the life to see me in trouble, right? "Where, where?" Zhong Bin hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, fighting against the Senate Navy, it is already a blessing to have a life." β
Liu Xiang was stunned, she thought that Zhong Bin had died at the hands of thieves a few months ago, but now she looked carefully, Zhong Bin was wearing a rather imposing white military uniform, and there were two black epaulettes on the left and right shoulders, both of which were a bar and a star. All the people in white uniforms present were dressed exactly the same, and they also had black epaulettes on their shoulders, some with one bar and one star, and some with two stars. She remembered that the Medeno man she had seen before was dressed like this, with what appeared to be a bar and two stars on his shoulders, and the man who was called the captain had a three-star bar on his shoulders, which seemed to be used to distinguish military ranks.
"Why are you all dressed in white? Could it be that the big guy in the thief is dead? Although Liu Xiang said that he and Zhong Bin were mortal enemies, there was one of them who knew him among so many white-clothed thieves at the moment, so he simply asked him directly.
Zhong Bin was stunned, "Where?" No, no, don't talk nonsense, the Senate Navy uniform is white, don't you see that the sailors and officers of the Navy are wearing white sailor uniforms? β
"Sailors? Officer? Liu Xiang laughed, "Mu Monkey and crown belt, you are just a group of pirates, I don't know where they came from, they dare to build a country and an army, they are really not afraid of laughing off their big teeth." When the imperial court and the heavenly army arrive, won't you all be powdered? β
"Humph!" Zhong Bin snorted coldly, "Liu Xiang, let me tell you, I came to see you today, in fact, I came to thank you, if you hadn't been defeated at sea and had no way to escape but to the south, I was afraid that I wouldn't have been able to meet this Senate, and I would have to survive like a bandit on the sea rat." Since I arrived at this Senate, I have only learned the ideal of life - you don't understand it. In the early years when I was a pirate, all I thought about every day was how to rob more ships, how to attract more ships to join the gang, and every day I only knew how to kill people and sell more goods. Sell the looted goods at a cheap price in exchange for a small profit, but at the risk of killing your head, you just fatten the profiteers who come for profit for no reason. As he spoke, he took a cigarette case out of his pocket, put one in his mouth, leaned over to the lamp in the captain's room, lit it, took a puff, and spit it out. Since arriving at the Senate, I have naturally suffered a little, but this is very beneficial to my Zhong Bin to repent of his unscrupulous behavior before, and now what I think about every day is to keep one side safe, protect one side of the merchants, not to mention that this is facing you as a pirate, even if we encounter the fleet of the Medeno people head-on, we are also not afraid to rush forward. β
"Humph!" Liu Xiang also snorted coldly, "That's a good thing, when you meet the fleet of the Medeno people, aren't you in the fleet of the Medeno people?" Aren't all the white-clad sailors just now all Meedno? You and others are the same as the Medeno people, but it's a pity that I, Liu Xiang, have no eyes, and I received five thousand taels of silver from the Medeno people plus the boat under my feet, so I believed it and thought that the Medeno people would come to attack Dongfang Port together. Unexpectedly, the maidenor and the thief wore a pair of trousers, but beat the old lady's fleet first. β
"What do you say? Did the Medenor people call you to attack the Vostochny Harbor? A person next to Zhong Bin couldn't help but exclaim, "Then this terrorist activity was simply carried out by the black hands of the Maidno people." β
"yes, yes, what the hell are the Medeno people trying to do?" "That is, on the one hand, they do business with us, and on the other hand, they are secretly cheating us." "Let's just ban the Medeno people from coming to the Eastern Port in the future."
"Less garlic!" Liu Xiang sneered, "You have a clear share in this matter, the Maidno people are outside, why don't you ask them to come in and ask?" β
"Them?" Zhong Bin obviously had a sneering look on his face, "They are Maidno people, but they are not Maidno people. As he spoke, he shouted loudly outside, "Ake! Come in! β
A person outside answered "yes" in an unskilled official voice, and one of them ran quickly into the cabin. Liu Xiang looked at it, and it turned out to be a Yaning person, and the red hair on his head couldn't be more obvious, "Ake, introduce yourself!" Zhong Bin smiled and ordered to this Yaning man called Ah Ke, who hurriedly stood upright, "Yes!" Name, Alfonso Ackerman, ancestral home in Central Continental Pixon, age, twenty-three years old, unit, signal flag bearer of the capital ship USS Victory. β
Zhong Bin continued to ask with a little dissatisfaction, "What is your identity now!" Ackerman was stunned, "Signal standard-bearer of the capital ship of the Victory!" At this time, Zhong Bin was angry and was about to kick him, Ackerman hurriedly jumped back, "I am the technical sergeant of the Chinese Navy and the signal standard-bearer of the capital ship of the Victory!" β
"That's pretty much it." Zhong Bin nodded, then turned to Liu Xiang, "Did you hear that?" This person is not a member of the Meidenor Navy for a long time, the people you saw before with the appearance of a Medeno were indeed Medeno before, they were the sailors of the Meideno Navy who came to attack the port of the East, and after being captured, they underwent ideological education, and then joined the naturalized people system of the Chinese Senate, and they have long been naturalized people. As he spoke, he patted Ackerman on the shoulder, "Ake, you go and get busy with you." β
"We are actually all about the same," Zhong Bin shrugged, "Most of us were pirates before, and after meeting the Senate, we lost the battle and were captured, and we originally thought that we would all die, but I didn't expect to be able to join the Chinese Navy and become a naval officer in the end." β
"Even if you become a soldier, you can't change the dog to eat." Liu Xiang naturally didn't have a good face, but she had been greatly touched in her heart, just by the scars on these people's bodies, it seemed that she knew that she must have been a pirate before. She saw a lot of pirates, all of them stood and didn't sit, they sat on the deck and basked in the sun when they were free, and the ship was full of garbage, cables and dirty things all over the ground. But now she looked out through the gap between them, the sailors outside were shouting slogans, lowering the sails that had been broken in battle, the nimble sailors were climbing up and down with rapid movements, and there were people sorting out the cables that had been messed up by the battle, and everything seemed so orderly that it was a world of difference compared to her previous pirate gang. Not to mention the group of former pirate naval officers in front of them, wearing almost spotless naval uniforms and high caps on their heads, they looked extremely heroic, and even Zhong Bin, who used to look obscene, now looks much more pleasing to the eye.
"Report!" A sailor came in, carrying a folder in his hand, walked into the captain's room and saw that there was a large group of naval officers standing inside, and hurriedly saluted, "According to the order of the Executive Committee, several high-ranking pirate prisoners will be escorted to the naval fortress for detention, waiting for interrogation later!" β
"Interrogation?" Liu Xiang immediately remembered the scene she was most reluctant to see before, the ugly man with the upper body carried a leather whip and whipped the naked meat ticket fiercely, and the one-eyed strong man smiled and lifted the red-hot soldering iron in his hand and pressed it fiercely on the body of the interrogator, accompanied by the sound of "snorting" and the screams of the meat tickets - so that she almost screamed.
However, Zhong Bin next to him laughed, "Don't worry about this, the people of the Senate will never beat you during interrogation, and I am not a human being if I move your fingers!" After a slight pause, Zhong Bin said again, "I can only give a suggestion, it's best to tell the truth early, you will definitely not be able to bear it, if I were you, I would say it as soon as I saw the interrogators." The naval officers next to him laughed, but there was a sense of desolation in their laughter - almost all of them had been interrogated like this.
Liu Xiang was quickly taken out of the captain's room with a few high-ranking pirates, the three-masted ship was moored in the military port area, and the two large ships were sandwiching the three-masted ship in the middle at this time, and there were two large ships to the north a little farther away, but they were obviously damaged in battle and had not been repaired. Beside the long pier was a row of boats, all loaded with cannons with strange hollow barrels. On the trestle in the distance, a group of pirates were walking, some carrying stretchers, others staggering with each other's support. With a rattling sound, a strange wooden car stopped beside them, and the Marine who was in charge of escorting them next to them yelled, "Get in the car!" β
