With a crisp sneeze, Hong Jie hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped off the long snot, he missed Dongfang Port's handpaper very much, and it was very convenient to wipe one casually, and now he used a handkerchief, and he had to wash it after wiping it, and he had to dry it after washing. "This hell weather, it's cold everywhere, and you can't do it for a month, right?" Standing on the side of the ship's command platform, he looked around, and a familiar voice came from the side, "Of course we can't do it, but we are starting to go north, this is far beyond the Tropic of Cancer, I heard that it is snowing in Guangzhou, if you really wash your clothes and hang them up, you will wait for spring." ”

Hong Jie didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Zhan Jie, the names of these two people are two words, and the latter word is the word Jie, so people give him the nickname "Shuangjie of the Senate". One of the two is from Hubei and the other is from Shaanxi, in fact, if it weren't for the collective participation in the crossing, there would be no intersection at all. After arriving in the New World, one had been working in the medical department for a long time, the other had been in the ordinary labor department and then in the artillery, and now he had become a company commander in the artillery unit, and the two of them could not have spoken more than a hundred times together, and at least ninety-eight of those hundred sentences were still spoken on this transport ship.

Zhu Youxiao's order to summon the Senate army to the north to suppress the bandits was only sent to Dongfang Port a few days ago, and in order to prevent the edict from passing through the cabinet and being stopped by the group of officials who knew how to quarrel and let go of their mouths after passing through the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao's holy decree was issued bypassing the cabinet, and the cabinet elders did not even know that there was such a thing. As long as this expedition is completed and the bandits are solved, then the Oriental Port will be truly justified, so that the Senate can develop with peace of mind, and the factory will break out.

Although it is said that Dongfang Port has been living a life of self-reliance and self-improvement until now, not only assisting Annan to resist the invasion of the Nanban, but also resisting many attacks by Medeno alone, but also facing the attack of more than 100,000 Annan troops under the command of the Medeno people. Although the current total population of the Wu Dynasty is only tens of millions of people, which is not comparable to the scale of more than one billion people in the old world, if there is a real fight, the tens of thousands of people in Dongfang Port are still far from enough. Although the relationship between Dongfang Port and Beihai is not bad now, but the relationship between the two countries is not something that can be decided by a single province after all, if Zhu Youxiao smeared the lard of those Donglin Party and summoned a large army to attack, the scale of the battle would not be comparable with the general South Coast Army of those "peasant army" in Annam, and even if Dongfang Port could win the battle at that time, it would be a disastrous victory. Without people, the port of the Vostochny would have completely lost hope of development, not to mention the fact that there is still a large group of Medenor people entrenched in the sea next to it, waiting like vultures for the port of the Vostochny to fall so that they can share the feast of revelry. For this reason, the Senate attaches great importance to this military operation to quell the rebellion in the north, as long as this battle is fought well, it can not only quell the civil strife in the north of the Wu Dynasty, but also bring back a large amount of manpower to assist in the expansion of the Senate - the most important point is to show the force of the Senate next to the Jingshi, so as not to have some blind brains who always want to be able to force the Senate to make concessions by fighting.

In fact, the expedition set out several days earlier, and they had already begun to board the ship after preparing supplies and gathering troops, but after boarding the ship, they did not get permission from the emperor, and after waiting for several days, the joint staff still could not hold their breath. After all, it is now an army of thousands of people, and if they float at sea for a long time without going into battle, these foreign legions are not Maidnor people, and they cannot live at sea all year round, and they may cause all kinds of diseases and discomforts, and lose their combat effectiveness early. From the port of the East to Qingdao, there are thousands of kilometers of sea transportation along the way, and now an extra day at sea will increase the danger. Therefore, in order to prevent the situation of premature loss of combat effectiveness, the Joint Staff Committee decided to set off in advance without further ado, anyway, the Wu Dynasty must need this army to quell the rebellion, go north first, and then build it after seizing the port of Qingdao in Shandong. It is better to wait until then to get the emperor's "holy decree" and then go to Shanxi than to wait now to get permission to send troops in Dongfang Port before setting off. At least at that time, the construction of the material transfer base in Shandong has also begun, and the material yard should basically be completed, and the transport fleet can return to the Oriental Port to start transporting the supplies needed for the next operation, and there is no need to stay in the Oriental Port to occupy tonnage.

Hong Jie wiped his nose, which was already a little red, and asked, "I said Zhan Jie, what are you doing here this time?" Our early personnel used to build a base to prepare to receive supplies, and your medical department sent a few ordinary doctors to treat a cold, so why let you, an old man, come over? ”

"What is this?" Zhan Jie looked at the sea around him and said, "It's really boring to death in the Oriental Port, every day is to receive some patients who don't have any new tricks, it's better to go to a new place to open up a new situation and have fun." Besides, if you go to a new place, you can also add some qualifications to me......" He looked at Hong Jie's face, and said with his right index finger, "Don't look at me like that, you have the ability to say that you don't think so!" ”

"Not really!" Hong Jie smiled and shook his head, "I didn't think about this at all, this time I went to Shanxi, I just wanted to experience what a war is, I am an artilleryman!" Really, artillerymen! They are all kings of war who are thousands of miles away! ”

"Pull it down! And win thousands of miles away! Zhan Jie mercilessly struck at Hong Jie's divergent thinking, and pointed to a transport ship behind, "Look! What's on it! It's an airplane! Airplanes are the ones who win thousands of miles away! Your mountain cannon is about three or four kilometers away, and you will become a hero. ”

After the enemy is independent, Chamo is alone

"I'll go! Airplanes need fuel! A take-off can only carry so much weight, and after the fight, you have to come back to load the bomb and go out, and the engine can be heard a few kilometers away from the noise, our artillery is much better," Hong Jie danced for a while, not to mention how happy he was, "The cannon quietly lurked in the firing position, waiting for the order, and when the order came, it slammed out according to the parameters, and blew the enemy to the ground." Napoleon said it well that the secret to victory between two armies is to see who can use artillery most effectively. ”

"Isn't it? I remember saying that whoever has the artillery in the front will be the most able to take the initiative on the battlefield! Before Zhan Jie could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hong Jie, "Wrong, your sentence was said by Rommel." ”

"Woo-" With the sound of the whistle, the eardrums of both of them swelled, and they couldn't help but cover their ears at the same time and didn't dare to speak again. They were now on one of the newly launched steam carriers, the "Port of the East", the first transport ship to carry a steam engine on board this time, and a large amount of heavy equipment was being transported at the moment, including thirty rhinoceros transporters. In order to prevent the blades of the propellers from damaging the bottom of the ship, the Industrial Committee brought a batch of obsolete wood waste from the lumber mill to make the brackets, and the propellers were raised to prevent the blades from coming into direct contact with the bottom of the ship and scratching the bottom of the ship.

"What's the matter? And a whistle! Hong Jie yelled a little annoyed, and someone in the cockpit stuck out his head and explained, "Chief! There was a ship behind us, and we were beckoning them to follow. ”

Zhan Jie hurriedly pulled Hong Jie over, and directly picked up the bakelite-shelled telescope hanging on his chest and looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a transport ship behind the long fleet that was slowly turning.

"Sister! It's easy not to keep up with our ship, but it's still impossible to really fall behind, right? Hong Jie said and plucked out his ears, it seemed that the whistle just now did cause some uncomfortable feeling in his ears, and he pointed to the chimney again, "Look at the black smoke coming out of the chimney, you can see it clearly from ten kilometers away!" ”

Due to the use of a steam engine, the Vostochny Harbor burned coal directly, and the black smoke produced by the incomplete combustion of the combustion chamber was directly discharged into the air through a chimney up to a height of 15 meters, and it could keep a distance of one or two miles without being blown away even in the sea breeze.

"It's time to turn on the pump again!" Someone shouted loudly, and there was a rush in the wheelhouse, and soon there was a roar from the semi-open transport compartment, and the drainage hole on the right side of the hull immediately began to spit out white water dragons, which fell into the sea with a rattling sound.

Sun Xian, the Yang Xue of the Hou Ke Di Qiu Ku Knot Technique

"We have so much water in our boat?" Zhan Jie couldn't help but say with some surprise, and a man's voice came from behind him, "This is normal, this is a new ship, and this situation will continue for a while." ”

Zhan Jie and Hong Jie turned their heads to look, and they were greeted by a foreign face, and it was none other than Carnesto, the former captain of the capital ship of the Bohn, who took the initiative to ask to work in the civilian fleet, and he didn't even need to be a captain, even if it was just a sailor. At his request, he was eventually assigned to serve as a navigator on the transport ship Port Vostok. At this moment, he was holding a sextant in his hand and said while measuring the sun, "Water leakage will occur after the new ship is launched, because the wood used for shipbuilding is dry wood, and after entering the water, especially in the position of the bilge, it will be deformed by the huge water pressure, especially during the voyage, resulting in faster water intake." In the past, when my Born was launched, the pumps had to drain the water all day and all day to make sure that the ship would not sink due to flooding. ”

As he spoke, the sound of the high-power pumping machine below suddenly stopped, and the water in the drainage hole began to shrink. Carnesto smiled and shook his head, "Of course, the power of our current pumping machine is not comparable to that of mechanical pumping machine, at that time, it was a human pumping machine, not to mention low efficiency, and people had to keep changing shifts, otherwise it would not be able to turn, in the past, several ships in the Maidno Navy were damaged during naval battles, and the drainage was not timely and sank, if there was such a mechanical pumping machine, that kind of situation would not have happened at all." Now with this pump," Carnesto said, shrugging, "I don't think it would sink without the bottom of the boat, haha." He burst out laughing. Of course, Zhan Jie and Hong Jie couldn't understand his naval jokes, and they couldn't express it, so they had to laugh a few times in front of him and then go down to the cabin.

The Oriental Port is completely different from ordinary cargo ships in this time and space, not only is her hull long and wide, but the draft is also much deeper than that of ordinary cargo ships, and now the ship is full of all kinds of heavy machinery and weapons and equipment, and the waterline is almost flat on the water, so the hull is very little affected by the waves, Zhan Jie and Hong Jie walked side by side on the aisle of the personnel living cabin while walking and chatting.

"Anyway, it looks like a girl came to see you off on the day you left!" Zhan Jie said and looked at Hong Jie and said, "That girl looks very good, wearing a long skirt that shows off her figure......"

Hong Jie's face immediately turned red, "Who said they were here to send me?" She's Li Fen, you've seen it, ...... on the bridge that day."

"Ahh It turned out to be her! Zhan Jie suddenly realized, "She was the one who made you crash into the river!" ”

"What did I crash into the river? It was she who jumped into the river, okay! Later, in order to save her...... Hong Jie's words were only halfway before Zhan Jie interrupted, "Don't be ashamed!" and went to save her, obviously someone rescued you! If it weren't for the fact that other girls could swim, you would be the first veteran in the world to be drowned! ”

"Hey! Speak well! Don't talk nonsense! Hong Jie hurriedly interrupted Zhan Jie's continued play, "Aren't I also eager to save people's hearts......"

"Hmmm! That's right! Everyone is a hero who saves a beauty, and you a beauty saves a hero. Zhan Jie smiled, "But on the day of departure, seeing her come to see you off with red eyes, she must have liked you!" ”

"What do you mean by liking me? Li Fen is here to see off the army, and she also sings! Hong Jie said, closed his eyes, and said while reminiscing, "That singing is so good!" Anyway, why is that guy Pan Dai so powerful? It's like a Bole, just listening to Li Fen's scream as she fell off the bridge, you can unearth such a soprano! How are these odds calculated? ”

"It's the same chance as walking down the road and calling a 30,000-year-old meteorite from the Zenith star to hit your head." Zhan Jie said and stopped, and was about to pull Hong Jie, but before he could pull it, he heard a "bang", and Hong Jie's head hit a wooden door that had just opened.

"Who!" Hong Jie was knocked into the limelight, and shouted loudly while rubbing the position he had just hit, and the naturalized people in front of him hurriedly bowed and pleaded guiltily with a panicked face, "I'm sorry chief!" I didn't pay attention when I opened the door just now! It's all my fault! Please, Chief, punish you! ”

Zhan Jie waved his hand, "You go, it's okay, but this aisle is relatively narrow, so be careful not to open it completely when you open the door." Seeing the naturalized man leave briskly with relief, he turned to Hong Jie and said, "No, I remember that the hatches on the ship should be opened inward, right?" Why are the doors on this boat all open outwards? ”
