The next afternoon, Yang Rui took the students on the boat together, the whole team of forty-nine people, in addition to Yang Rui and forty-three students, there is also a family of cooks, the gang of traffickers still did things very neatly under the heavy money, and soon found the right person - the family of Master Liu, who escaped debts, originally Lao Liu was killed and could not go abroad, his hometown Guangdong, there have been many rumors of foreigners selling piglets, but I heard that this is going abroad with the Chinese, and he is the master's subordinate cook, not to do coolies, And you can go back after a few years, the most important thing is that the salary is more, there are more than 100 oceans a year, and you can buy a pair of belongings and open a restaurant when you come back after a few years, maybe you can still be a master. In this way, with the dream of being a master, Lao Liu made the most important decision in his life.

The ship that went to sea was the British Blue Chimney Company, called what Martin. Hughes, the boat is very large, there are many people on the boat, they are on the Bund dock, Yang Rui They bought a second-class warehouse ticket, the ticket price is not expensive, including room and board is only 80 yuan. Because it is an Indian route, it has to pass through Hong Kong, Saigon, Singapore, Chennai, Djibouti and other ports, and finally to Zanzibar, the whole trip takes about 20 days, which is seven or eight days slower than the last time Leo took the ship, and he crossed the Indian Ocean directly to South Africa. The telegram informing Wren had gone to Lorenzo Marques, that Wren had been gone for twelve days, and that he should have been there when he arrived in Hong Kong. During the conservative period, he still had to keep sending telegrams along the way, so as not to let him not receive the telegrams, the communication in this era was too unreliable, and Yang Rui was very worried that no one would pick him up when he arrived in Zanzibar. Yang Rui is not worried that Leo will run away with the money, he still trusts Leo very much, but he is afraid that he will not receive the telegram.

Yang Rui seemed to be very happy today, with a smile on his face and a song in his mouth, but he actually knew that he was warm and cold in his heart. I used to be a person who was wandering around the country, and I was very apprehensive when I suddenly went so far to do revolution, but in the face of students, I had to look like a gentleman. When the mail ship sailed, Yang Rui and the students stayed in the cabin, Yang Rui was teaching them to sing, love songs can't be taught, and the complicated Yang Rui can't either, fortunately, the patriotic education of later generations is solid, and my motherland can still sing. It is worthy of being a revolutionary old song, this song will attract everyone's love as soon as it is sung, it is much more sensational than the school song of the police and police of Nanyang College before, this song is easy to catch, and soon Martin. A loud singing voice sounded in the second class cabin of the Hughes, which made the foreigners next to him also have fun, and they couldn't just hum tunes in Chinese.

In addition to singing, Yang Rui began to teach German to students, Lorenço Marques Military Academy are all Germans, don't understand that German is so difficult to learn, although there is Yang Rui this translator, but it is still not very convenient, so forty-three people each have a German dictionary, Yang Rui according to the previous experience of learning German to teach, and try to use German in ordinary conversations to communicate, in order to create a zào context they can learn faster.

The journey is very boring, but in such intense study, the students don't feel anything, and the daily word recitation already makes them scratch their heads. But this group of students is really worthy of the pride of our time, and all of them are very fast learners, and by the time they arrive in Zanzibar in twenty days, they will be able to communicate in simple German words.

Approaching Zanzibar Island, Yang Rui is very worried about whether Leo has received the telegram, if he does not receive it, then he will have to wait on the island, fortunately, this island is a free port, and he will not check any documents, as long as he has a ferry ticket, he can prove his identity. I just don't know if there is a hotel on the island that can accommodate so many people, according to Leo, the population of this island is not large, only a dozen or two hundred thousand, it should only be a small county estimate.

Martin. Hughes docked at the port of Zanzibar in Yang Rui's worries, and when he looked from the ship, he saw a long sandy beach, and the seaside was covered with coconut palms, much like the feeling of Sanya, Hainan, except that there were no high-rise buildings on the dock, only a small city, except for the lighthouse next to the port, the buildings were as low as the usual in this era. It was almost noon, although this place was close to the equator, but now it was the cool season, Yang Rui still felt hot and humid, and the students were all dressed to the minimum according to Yang Rui's instructions, carrying their luggage and some things they carried, still sweating profusely.

Yang Rui looked around on the stairs of the disembarkation, only to see that there were some people who picked up customers in the house on the dock, and he couldn't see who it was in the shadows, so he had to take everyone down the suspension ladder first, and after leaving the station, he looked up and saw Ren and another foreigner standing in front with a smile, I didn't expect this dull guy to play surprises, Yang Rui stepped forward and hugged him. said: "Thank God, I thought you didn't receive my telegram."

When it comes to telegrams, Leo has a big head, and Yang Rui went to a port to send him a telegram, and he was already annoyed, making his friends think that his magical friend Yang in the Far East was a nagging woman. Yang Rui didn't know that his reputation had been almost ruined by himself, and he still mentioned those damn telegrams very calmly. Leo smiled bitterly and said, "Why didn't I see you so verbose before, I have received several telegrams." You're in too much of a hurry, Yang. After saying that, he introduced the person next to him and said, "This is Captain Adenauer, his ship is now at the dock, and we can leave here at night." ”

Yang Rui didn't know the details of this captain, so he smiled and nodded not very enthusiastically, but this person didn't speak German, it seemed to be Dutch. Under the leadership of the captain, everyone put their luggage on the sailboat at the dock, compared with the comfortable second-class cabin of the ocean mail ship before, this old wooden sailing ship is quite simple. There was a smell of sea in the cabin, and there were no hard beds, only the kind of canvas hammocks described in the movie, but fortunately they didn't stay on this ship for long, only a week's estimate.

Put away the luggage, Yang Rui called everyone in the cabin for a simple meeting, because he was about to enter the city, he was very worried that the students would run around, and he didn't know how the security of this place was, Yang Rui told everyone about today's arrangements, and the precautions were repeatedly emphasized, the chef Lao Liu Xian didn't care whether he was seasick or not, he was going to work immediately on the sailboat, Yang Rui asked him to go to the kitchen first to see what else to buy, and then went out of the cabin to eat in the city together.

Leo has long been optimistic about the place to eat, and took everyone into the city, the city is not big, the building is very tasteful, and China uses wood, the houses here are made of stone, it may be that there is no wood on the island and can only use stones. The lunch was still very rich, eating roasted bananas and roasted cassava, and the others were the same barbecued seafood as in ordinary coastal cities. Although these people finished their share under Yang Rui's repeated admonitions, they were all pale and seemed to be holding on.

Seeing them like that, Yang Rui felt that the chef was incomparably correct. In this kind of East Africa, where you don't know what rice is at all and know how to gnaw cassava every day, there is a Cantonese chef who is known to be a treasure who dares to eat anything. Because there were outsiders, Yang Rui couldn't inquire about the preparations of the military academy, so he had to arrange for some people to go back to the sailboat first after the meal, and others went to buy vegetables with the chef Lao Liu. In fact, in such a small place, there is nothing to buy, Lao Liu turned around and bought a few baskets of seafood and went back, and finally had Cantonese food to eat in the evening, thinking of this Yang Rui's index finger moved.

In a corner of the cabin on the ship, Yang Rui and Leo finally found a chance to talk alone.

"I didn't expect you to come so soon, the military school is still preparing, the school building has been ready, but the rifle bullets and shells have not yet arrived, you know, smuggling rifle bullets is relatively simple, but artillery shells are more difficult, we only have the guns left over from the last war, but there is basically no ammunition, if you go by the way, it will take a month before there are shells. The lesson plan has not yet been decided, of course, this was a few days ago, and it should be good when we go back. There are enough teachers, my friends have joined in, they are happy to accept such a job, and some friends in Germany will be coming over next month. I can assure you that the level of this military school is top-notch in Germany, with the exception of the library. It's just, Yang, are you really going to fight so soon? The officers thus trained were completely inadequate to meet the demands of war. It's a crime at all. "As a career officer, Leo thinks that such a quick training officer is a complete waste of human life.

"The war will start in the first half of next year," Yang Rui knew it was a complete mistake to do so, "we simply don't have time, we have to rush back to China as much as possible." Besides, they don't have to fight a hard battle in the plan, and after they go back, if they can, the military academy can also send people back to China to continue teaching them. "The main thing that the revival army has to do is to occupy territory, and I am afraid that more of it will have to face bandits and the like, which is also a matter of no way, and the army will not be able to survive and grow without territory.

Leo was a little surprised that time was so tight, but his expertise still allowed him to see the form clearly. He said, "Yes, if the Japanese want to do it, the sooner the better." Otherwise, the Russians' railways will soon be built. Of course, as a soldier, no matter what the war is, he is willing to do it, "When you go back next year, I will go back with you." ”

Looking at the fanatical light in Leo's eyes, Yang Rui was a little speechless, what a war maniac. Because he has not yet understood the horror of war, Yang Rui expects war like watching a movie and an action movie, but Leo does seem to be a person born for war, which Yang Rui cannot understand. Suddenly thinking of something, Yang Rui asked, "Leo, do you speak Russian?" ”

Leo woke up from the expectation of war and said strangely: "I don't know Russian, why do you ask me if I understand Russian, Yang, are you going to be on the side of the Russians?" ”

"Maybe," Yang Rui himself was not quite sure of this idea, "The Russians will definitely lose this war, if I am strong, then I will definitely stand on the side of the winner, so that I will definitely be able to share some of the spoils after the war, but now that our strength is so weak, it is best for us to stand on whoever needs us the most, so as to obtain greater benefits." Besides, the Japanese are more stingy than the Russians, and they don't get much benefit from him. What's more, more than ten years later, the Russian Empire collapsed, Yang Rui still thought about how to take this opportunity to dig a few pieces of meat out of her, among the great powers, Russia ceded the most land, if he didn't take back the previous book, Yang Rui felt that this time it was in vain, but these words can't be said to Leo, let alone tell him about the tragedy of Germany in World War I and World War, Yang Rui has always been worried that history has made heavy changes, if World War I didn't survive, then many of his plans would be in vain.

"Then you will be blamed by those patriots in your country," Leo had no feeling about whether he was helping Japan or Russia, and had no opinion on Yang Rui's choice, Russia was not an ally of Germany at this time, even if the German Kaiser and the Russian Emperor were related. Because of his ignorance of the two countries, he still felt that Russia would have a better chance of winning, after all, Russia's prestige in Europe was still there.

When I mention the patriot Yang Rui, I want to laugh, he used to be one of them, but when he slowly matures and thinks about those things, he will feel that most of these so-called patriotism are the products of political needs and conspiracies, not to mention the rest, just look at history. "Tohoku is in a war zone, and we may not even hear the voices of patriots, and besides, after a year of protest, they should change their position, and when Japan gains the rights and interests of Russia, they should protest against Japan again. Patriots without sanity are stupid. Leo was very ashamed to say this, Yang Rui saw that he was uncomfortable, and said again: "I didn't say you......"

The sailboat went for five days and finally arrived at the destination before Yang Rui and they were all hung up, it was nine o'clock in the evening when they went ashore, Yang Rui tried to keep himself standing straight in order to try to maintain the majesty of Mr., but fortunately no one could see his trembling legs in the dark night, there were some carriages and some white tents waiting on the shore - Leo arranged for someone to pick them up when he went to Zanzibar, these were the servants of the manor, they quickly packed up those tents, Yang Rui and these people sat in those carriages, Staggered towards the manor.
