"Anchor! Don't learn from me, this thing sucks too much and it's very uncomfortable, go away! For the sake of the health of these sailors, Hong Tao planned to pause for a moment to recall the modern sense, and turned around and poked the compassion that was also intoxicated and breathing in the smoke with his eyes closed. Their father and son are really genetic, and they have to learn the sound when they fart, and they don't care if it's good or bad.

By the time the Golden River pulled up its two iron anchors, one in front and one behind, slowly raised its sails and turned around, the port of Pasaima was so black that it could not see anything. Those wooden houses are the best combustibles, and heavy oil is the best accelerant, the bigger the fire, the more fully the heavy oil is preheated, and the more vigorous it will burn. It's impossible to extinguish it anymore, in the absence of an oxygen mask, unless Sun Wukong is reincarnated, no one can stay in such a thick smoke for a few minutes and be fine, let alone extinguish the fire, it's dangerous to get close.

"Sir burned the city, they can rebuild it. There were no walls or palaces, and after half a year, it was a port again. Maybe it's even bigger, is it done sir? Wen Nan still didn't understand why Hong Tao bothered to burn a port, in his opinion, this place was called a village at most, and the buildings were not valuable. Throwing so many grenades has not completely solved the problem, it is obviously a loss.

"Reconstruction? No way! In ten years, this place will not be suitable for people, unless the Javanese people are all Xiaoqiang! Hong Tao answered Wen Nan's question with certainty.

"You don't believe it? Well, you may not know that heavy oil cannot be burned, and after it burns, it will leave a lot of things behind, and after seeping into the ground, groundwater, it cannot be removed for a long, long time. There is always a bad smell. Places that have been polluted with heavy oil. There will be no grass. The little bugs don't want to stay, and now you know why Jinhewan put all these things in jars and pulled them somewhere else. In the future, there will be no such trouble, they will all settle in these ports, this is called chemical weapons, understand? There are two sides to any discipline in the world. On the one hand, it can benefit mankind, and on the other hand, it can destroy mankind, depending on how those who master it use it. Now I'm here to be the destroyer. It's not that I'm cruel by nature, it's that I want to leave a world for future generations where you don't have to get your hands dirty. Let us do all the bad things, and in the future, my son and your son will only need to be good people and be merciful. ”

Whether it is a steel mill or a shipyard, there are boilers that use heavy oil as fuel, and Hong Tao still knows a little bit about the characteristics of that thing. In fact, as long as the heavy oil is sprinkled on the ground, it is enough to pollute the land, and without modern means, it will never be clean. The reason why he set another fire was completely Hong Tao's curiosity. He wanted to see what the burning city looked like, but unfortunately the fire was not too vigorous and not spectacular.

Had an experience. The sabotage operations that followed were getting more and more comfortable. The four ships started from the Sunda Strait and followed the northern side of Jawa Island to Bali, and as long as they found harbors, shipyards and other buildings along the way, they approached the artillery bombardment, and the larger towns sent cavalry and marines to land and capture the prisoners, splashing heavy oil on them, and lighting a fire before leaving. Small villages and towns omit this step, mainly because the amount of heavy fuel carried by the fleet is not enough to be used at will, and they have to be taken care of. For fishing boats, the net is open, and as long as it is not a large boat, small boats several meters long are all spared. Killing people is not the first choice, but destroying Jawa's infrastructure, especially coastal facilities, so that it can no longer develop its maritime power, and forcing it to move from an offensive state to the defense of the island.

However, for a large island of more than 100,000 square kilometers, Hongtao's ships are not enough to see at all, 100 tons of ammunition are like a drizzle, and dozens of tons of heavy oil will not see any great effect. After destroying six or seven ports and polluting three places, not only was the heavy oil gone, but the fleet's ammunition reserves were also depleted, and the entire southern side of Jawa Island had not yet been affected.

"Return to the port of Malacca, Swan, and tell your people that don't forget our agreement that the captives can be trained as Mamluk soldiers, but not too many. I just need you to stand in the port of Malacca and the surrounding area, and I don't want to see one day become a force that threatens me, otherwise these shells and heavy oil will be used on the heads of your father and your people. You should know this better than your father, and it is much happier for us to be partners than enemies. After destroying a small port on the island of Bali, Hong Tao ordered the extermination operation to be ended. Hundreds of slaves were transferred to the merchant ship and taken over by the Mamluks, who were to be trained in the port of Malacca for a period of time, a few of them would become Mamluk soldiers, and most would be enslaved to death by the Mamluks. Compared with the slaves in Jinhewan, the Mamluks treated their slaves in a much more cruel and vicious way, and they were not regarded as human beings at all, and they were completely humanoid livestock.

"Can I stay on board and be in the navy?" Swan was born to be angry with his father, the only heir to the tribal leader, and let the ready-made clan not lead, but thinking about serving as a soldier for others all day long, how happy can his father be?

"Whatever you want, but I warn you, it's best not to tell your father yet, for it's sometimes good to keep him in the dark. Maybe one day you'll change your mind and come back to him. Hong Tao is still very optimistic about this child who loves the sea, tenacity, intelligence, and a good body, which are all necessary qualities to play with the sea. What's more, Swan also has a heart like the sea, sometimes ruthless, sometimes very enthusiastic, a good seedling to be a captain.

Leaving the devastated island of Jawa, three warships escorted the laden merchant ship back to the port of Malacca, exactly a month after Hong Tao's departure from Jinhe Bay. The fleet did not stay in the port of Malacca for long, and after the replenishment was completed, it loaded 200 Javanese slaves who had been enslaved by the Mamluks for more than half a year, left the port of Malacca, and sailed again to the island of Java.

"Sir, why are we back again?" A few days later, when Bunnan saw the blackened and lifeless port of Pasaima, he was surprised to learn that the fleet had turned around and returned to the Sunda Strait.

"It's not coming back, it's just passing by! This is called the Sunda Strait, from here you can sail directly to the island of Madagascar and even the Cape of Good Hope, but the distance is a little far, at least tens of thousands of miles, are you afraid? "Hong Tao is not here to continue torturing the Javanese, he is going on another adventure, taking the Quanzhou and Haibo from the Sunda Strait to the Cape of Good Hope, a one-way journey of nearly 10,000 kilometers.

This was the first time he had sailed a long distance on an ancient sailing ship, and compared to the previous three or two thousand kilometers, this was a real transoceanic voyage. Adventure is inevitable, if there is a modern 40-foot sailing ship and a Jinhe for Hong Tao to choose, Hong Tao will not even think about it, he will choose the 40-foot modern sailing boat. In any respect, the ancient sailing ship Jinhe is not as good as any modern sailing ship in terms of sailing performance, and the risk of using them for transoceanic navigation is not ordinarily large.

But this risk must be taken, without experiencing ultra-long-distance sailing, Hong Tao does not know where the limit of these ships is, and he will go to the Americas in the future, the journey is even farther, how can he rest assured if he does not make the detailed data clear. And this matter can only be done by him himself, and if other captains are allowed to take risks, the danger will increase exponentially. Compared to them, I know more about the world and the ocean.

In fact, it is not without benefit to go from the Sunda Strait to the Cape of Good Hope or the island of Madagascar. This route is very long, and there are no supply points to stop at on the way, but it is not necessarily more difficult to take this route, because there is no need to experience the torment of the equatorial windless belt in the middle of this route, most of the sea area is the southeast trade wind belt, all the way to the crosswind, the speed will be very high, and the total time is much less than the route of Cabalan Port. It is also very convenient to come back, you can go straight east from the Cape of Good Hope, go down the wind from the westerly belt, and then turn around and head north when you are about to reach the west coast of Australia, and return to the Sunda Strait with a crosswind. As long as the navigation is accurate, it is smooth to come and go.

"If Australia hadn't sunk, would it have been possible to reach it in a 10,000-mile voyage?" Wen Nan remembered the mysterious hometown in Hong Tao's mouth again.

"It sank...... No ifs! Right hand rudder 15...... Full sails! Hong Tao's face was very serious, but his heart was happy, fortunately he made up his nonsense earlier, otherwise once Wen Nan and Luo Youde seized the opportunity, the two of them would 100% quarrel to go to Australia to have a look, which is called taking a step ahead! But in the future, I will make up a nonsense, that is, to change the name of the real Australia, let's call it Oceania, a nonsense always needs a lot of nonsense to round.

8,000 kilometers, this is a straight-line distance, no one can go so straight on the sea, a little because of the change of ocean currents and wind direction, there are 10,000 kilometers. There is no windless belt here, but the wind and waves cannot be avoided, and the three ships lost contact twice on the way because of the wind and waves, but fortunately, they finally converged at the assembly point. There were times when everyone thought they wouldn't survive the next wave, but when they looked up from the overwhelming water, they found that they were still alive.

There is nothing in the world that makes people feel happier than escaping death, and there is nothing that makes people mature faster than escaping death. The sailors who wept and wiped their tears in the windless zone can now add the word voyage in front of their titles, and they are different from any sailors in the world at present, and they are the first group of pioneers to purposefully cross the ocean. Take any one of them, and you can become a captain on any ship in the world, which is more than enough to sail along the coastline. (To be continued.) )
