Chapter 1288 A good show begins!
When 99.9% of the survivors in the New World were still enjoying themselves on small sampans, a fully-organized armed fleet was indeed a bit exaggerated.
Even though the flags of the Red Flower Gang were waving to identify themselves, the survivors on the river were still involuntarily holding the boat back as the central command ship gradually approached.
This comes from the fear of giants rooted in human genes.
However, when the fleet approached quickly and the cargo ship in the center appeared in everyone's field of vision, the fear that had just appeared was immediately suppressed by the excitement that quickly rose.
The Red Flower Gang territory is very poor.
Although there are many mineral resources in the surrounding area, there is even a small gold mine that is almost equivalent to an open pit.
But as we all know, before there is sufficient mining capacity and sales channels, the purchasing power of this thing is actually no different from that of stones that can be seen everywhere.
Sitting on a pile of useless stones and unwilling to leave directly led to not only the poorness of the territory, but also the poverty of the residents of the territory.
Most people's clothes are still in tatters, and there are patches of grass fiber stuck to the holes all over their bodies.
Compared with the affluence of Tianyuan Territory, this place may not even qualify as a slum.
But in the eyes of Song Chunrui, Wang Bi, and Pang Pangyuan, it was a different story.
Back when the deep sea survivors left for the New World in large numbers, many people felt that as long as a territory was established, all kinds of necessary supplies would be produced sooner or later.
However, after actually arriving here, the cruel reality wakes up anyone who is still dreaming.
Yes, everyone knows that to make a piece of clothing, you only need to cut the fabric into a suitable pattern and sew it.
Some people also know that cloth can be woven from raw yarn through warping, sizing, and drawing.
Even fewer people know that raw yarn can be manufactured from cotton through various processes.
But in reality, without those modern automatic machines, how many people can turn cotton into cloth?
The answer is cruel!
Mature industrial capabilities can turn an originally complex matter into countless simple processes that are superimposed back and forth.
But without this ability, enforcing these simple processes is no less than reinventing new laws.
"It is indeed a territory of more than 200,000 people. It is developing so fast here. There are so many boats."
"There are no naked people. What a luxury. They You don’t need to take off your clothes to work?”
“Brother Liu really didn’t lie. The development of the Honghua Gang can at least be ranked in front of 70% of small territories!”
“Haha, yes! With the supplies that Brother Liu traveled thousands of miles to buy, this 70% will probably become 99%.”
"Look at this group of people, they are all shouting Brother Liu's name. It seems that Brother Liu has a lot of prestige in the territory!"
The three of them unabashedly praised Liu Zhi like a tide, He couldn't help but feel a sense of ecstasy in his heart. Looking around again, cheering crowds gathered on both sides of the river, their voices rising and falling, as if they were lifting him up into the clouds.
Is this what it feels like to return rich and rich to your hometown?
Liu Zhi thought to himself, his chest involuntarily rising up, forming a right angle with the sky.
The other accompanying crew members also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Stay in Tianyuan and return to the Honghua Gang.
They chose the latter amid all the entanglements, and now the facts have proved that their previous reckless decision was very wise.
The Tianyuan Territory, which has developed into the era of heavy industry, does not care about a few extra unimportant ordinary people in the territory.
If they choose to stay, they will only gradually die in a long and ordinary life.
But the Honghua Gang, this small territory is so barren that it is shocking.
They returned like a bright light in the dark night, enough to light the way forward for 200,000 people.
Caught between the cheering crowds on both sides, the fleet slowed down and began to move forward slowly.
The ripples on the river surface are rippling gently, as if they are also dancing for this grand scene.
After confirming the identity of this fleet, some bold survivors plucked up the courage to get closer.
Although after being discovered by the sailors, they immediately stopped this dangerous behavior with a loudspeaker, but it can be seen that the name of the human God Su carries an exaggerated weight no matter where it is.
Even though the survivors in the wasteland know that blind trust may have fatal consequences, many people have paid a heavy price for trusting others.
But in front of the human God Su, these dogmas that have been realized through life seem to be temporarily forgotten.
They involuntarily put down their guard and chose to trust the human being they had never met.
“With the reputation of a lord, we can reduce 99% of our troubles wherever we go!”
“With this advantage, other forces simply cannot catch up.”
Standing in the command room and watching the scenes relayed on the screen, Cui Lu was not surprised.
Back then, he was also a survivor brought back by Somo from the origin camp, and he knew the feeling of hope suddenly approaching.
Although Sumo has not come in person, this huge fleet can still restore 90% of the effect.
Cui Lu secretly guessed.
Now if he waved his arms and encouraged a few times, these people would probably immediately rebel against the Honghua Gang and join Tianyuan.
"Enjoying the benefits of fame will inevitably lead to being trapped by fame."
Su Deben still remained calm, especially after he started to teach students, he never wanted to pass on his way of thinking.
“If I were those dwarves, I would definitely not miss such a good opportunity now. Look at these ordinary people surrounding our ship, how happy they are
If at this time Being able to launch a surprise attack while the fleet is docking, even if it doesn't cause too much damage, will make these ordinary civilians subconsciously blame the Tianyuan fleet for the casualties."
"I will even take the initiative. The target of the attack will be these ordinary people, and I won't shout any stupid slogan that if you want to cooperate with Tianyuan, you have to pay a price
I will give these ordinary people the illusion that I regard them as people from the Tianyuan Territory. This will have a better effect. They will directly think that it is the Tianyuan Territory that harms them, rather than them cooperating with Tianyuan.
Whenever a good reputation has negative attributes, there will be too many concerns if you want to use it next time."
As Su Deben said, he couldn't help but put himself into the perspective of the dwarf.
The viciousness of the plan immediately stunned everyone in the command room, especially the second officer in charge of the fleet's armament and the third officer in charge of the fleet's navigation route. The two of them suddenly showed a look of shock. .
However, this impromptu plan was not completely completed when a rapid beeping sound suddenly sounded in the cabin
Yes. The bioradar detector is in!
“Detection.. A large number of unknown creatures are detected approaching at a very fast speed!”
The radar soldier sitting in front of the screen suddenly screamed strangely, The atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became tense.
Everyone glanced at the red dots reflected back from the radar map in unison. The originally sparse point signals now showed dense red dots, like a fire burning in the darkness.
But the strange thing is that these threats do not come from far away, but from underwater!
Hundreds of thousands of red dots appeared quietly like ghosts. They quickly gathered together to form a huge funnel-shaped encirclement. The fleet was in the center of this encirclement, as if it was a carefully planned hunt.
Really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
"Teacher, this" Cui Lu's mind still echoed with the vicious plan Su Deben just described, and his face instantly turned pale.
As the captain, his first reaction was to immediately organize the fleet into an alert state to prepare for the enemy's attack.
However, before the order was issued, he was interrupted by Sudeben's hearty laughter.
“The three key points I told you before were just theoretical discussions, just armchair talk.”
“Including the plan I just mentioned casually, they are all full of flaws. Think carefully. You can deduce the response method. "
"And now, the opponent's carefully prepared killing move is coming, this is the first lesson you face!"
The huge fleet is still there! Head towards the temporary dock of Honghua Gang.
After the red dots hunted underwater quickly approached, they did not rush to the surface to take advantage of the opportunity to fight, but waited and lingered at a depth of about ten meters.
This discovery could not help but make the atmosphere in the command room relax a little, and everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little.
But even as he breathed a sigh of relief, he became increasingly confused about the thoughts of these enemies.
However, Su Deben seemed unusually calm at this time. After briefly explaining some precautions, he simply handed over the command and became the hands-off shopkeeper.
According to his original words.
The task assigned to him by Sumo was not to assist the Polaris Fleet in completing its first voyage, nor to ensure that the fleet could successfully conduct caravan trade. These trivial matters should be handled by Captain Cui Lu.
What's more, the enemy's plan has been guessed in advance, and there is such an important information gap to assist.
If this battle cannot be won, then there is no need for the Polaris Fleet to exist.
"Pass my order!" Cui Lu's voice echoed in the command room, firm and powerful. He decisively issued the order: "The sailors inside the cabin immediately changed their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy. The sailors outside the cabin are not required for the time being. Notice, so as not to alert the enemy! "
Excessive pressure did not make the still new captain cautious, but instead brought a surging fighting spirit.
And this is precisely the reason why he failed to make the list of the top 100 people in the wasteland in Future Relics, but was able to obtain the recognized title of 'Breaking the Army's Raging Waves'.
Having said that, the reason why Su Deben was so relieved was probably because the enemy's methods were too low-level, and he had already predicted in advance any possible attack that these enemies might launch after they gathered together.
And Cui Lu knew that he was still far behind in this regard.
Especially when it comes to predicting the enemy's plans in advance. After all, most of the wars he has access to come from old-fashioned recorded cases, as well as those film and television works that can be called divine dramas. Compared with the real battlefield Far from it.
Of course, if the fleet now pours out its firepower, it can shoot these idiots underwater into a sieve, but that will lose the meaning of growth. Any commander with a normal mind can do it. .
Therefore, he chose a more cautious and secure strategy.
Being prepared means taking the bait.
"Captain, an explosive reaction has been detected at the temporary dock ahead, and the intensity is expected to be low."
"Captain, a large number of biological reactions have been detected ahead, distributed behind the dock. , the number is about three thousand."
"Captain, a small number of creatures are detected approaching Xianjiang, come closer."
One piece after another, important information is passed through the monitoring device to the command room in an orderly manner.
Among them are Foundation-standard devices brought by the Red Spider Caravan, as well as new devices developed in the opposite territory.
From a technical perspective alone, it can easily beat the earth's technological level by several blocks.
And considering that the other party does not have any shielding means, this is basically a strategic game played through perspective.
“Interesting, it seems that the plan they implemented is not to directly attack and shift the blame.”
Such thoughts flashed through Cui Lu's mind.
In the screen.
There are already several larger sampans approaching on the water ahead, with colorful flowers hanging on them, which is very festive.
The Tianyuan Territory and the three super territories will be contacted at specific times through the code words of the World Channel.
These territories that have passed the micro stage will naturally not ignore this important means of communication.
Liu Zhi must have contacted the territory through a similar method before setting off.
So now the fleet has just arrived, and groups of welcoming ships have already been sent out at the dock.
"Brother Liu has indeed made arrangements well. He has made arrangements in advance before he returns home."
"Wherever, mainly Tianyuan's fleet is coming, and it has to be reconciled with the territory no matter what." Take a breath in advance, otherwise it will be bad if you bump into the distinguished guests."
Liu Zhi's face was calm, but his heart was so excited that he was about to fly.
Before the fleet actually set off for the territory, he had been suppressing his excitement and did not dare to send a message.
After all, it would be embarrassing if we informed the territory in advance that the cooperation was successful, but failed to bring the goods back in the end.
And it was not until yesterday morning that the fleet set off.
He then simply stated the success of the cooperation and the arrival time of the fleet in code words on the World Channel.
Time was really short. I didn’t expect Ji Wuming to be so capable and prepare the welcome ceremony in just one day.
Although it is not as luxurious as Tianyuan Territory, looking at the opening ceremony, it is definitely considered grand for a small territory!
The flower boat approached, and there was another burst of enthusiastic cheers from the surroundings.
Waiting until the temporary wharf, which was ten times larger than before departure, appeared, Liu Zhi finally couldn’t help laughing and said:
“Everyone, I’m afraid I have to go get ready, so I’ll go down and coordinate first. ”
“Brother Liu, please!”
"As expected of the Red Flower Gang, this magnanimity is truly extraordinary. Brother Liu, please!"
"Don't worry about us, today is your home court."
There are envious looks in the eyes of the three of them. Flashing forward, the figure staring closely at Liu Zhi disappeared around the corner of the gangway below the deck.
If nothing else, the size of this temporary wharf is almost one third of the Tianyuan Wharf.
Compared with their territory, the Red Flower Gang not only has a huge advantage in distance, but is also much faster in preparation.
If this doesn't develop anymore, then...
Boom!
At this moment, dazzling flames suddenly flashed behind everyone.
Immediately afterwards, an explosion loud enough to shake the sky exploded in my ears, deafening, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart.
In just a moment, a huge wave of air swept over like a violent wind, causing the three of them to lose their balance instantly, and their bodies flew heavily towards the side rails on the deck.
Fortunately, the direction of the explosion was not towards the water, but towards the land, otherwise it would have been fatal or disabled.
