The latest website: www. Although the British ordered the Captain Mexican captain almost scolded on the spot.
But facing the black muzzle of the "Vengeance".
What choice can he make?
The Revenge sent another signal.
"Apollo, stop the ship immediately for inspection. This is the final warning! Please stop the ship immediately for inspection."
"Stop the ship!"
The Mexican captain decisively gave the order to stop the ship.
Although there is some dissatisfaction, when an unarmed merchant ship faces the muzzle of a gun, compromise is necessary. After all, no one is willing to seek death.
While the Mexican captain and sailors on the ship were cursing the British, the "Revenge" had already put down a motorboat and then sailed towards them.
"Damn British guys, they actually want to board the ship for inspection. What are they inspecting?"
Complaining, the sailors on the ship lowered the gangways on both sides under the captain's order, waiting for these pesky British officers to board the ship for inspection. But when these Royal Navy officers and soldiers boarded the deck of the cargo ship, the sailors on the ship
Just realize that things may not be as simple as they think.
The British sailors who boarded the ship were all fully armed, and their Lee Enfield rifles were equipped with bayonets. The blades of the bayonets shone with a chilling light in the sun.
Faced with such a formation, the captain of the cargo ship also realized that the situation was not normal. A normal inspection should not be like this formation!
However, what we need to do now is to fully cooperate with these British guys to complete this inspection as soon as possible and let these guys leave their ship as soon as possible.
"Hello sir, I am Arturo Santos, the captain of the Apollo."
"Captain, I am Captain Hal Alfred of the Royal Navy."
As the young British naval officer saluted, Captain Santos took out the cargo manifest and introduced it.
"This is our shipping list, please check it."
Although he was cursing in his heart, the captain had a bright smile on his face. Now he just wanted to send these guys away quickly.
"Dear Mr. Navy Captain, I swear to you that I only have the declared supplies on the list on my ship, and there are absolutely no other prohibited items."
The British captain, who was checking the shipping list, nodded and said.
"It seems that your procedures are very complete, my captain, but we know that the goods you transport are not that simple!"
"Please order the entire crew of the Apollo to assemble on the deck immediately."
Alfred ordered.
"Captain, may I venture to ask why this is?"
Captain Santos asked doubtfully.
"Please give the order, Captain Santos."
"Is that all?"
While the crew of the "Apollo" were gathering on the deck, Captain Condes in the "Revenge" city couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.
"Okay, gentlemen, now we have completed our mission."
Condes even proudly picked up a cigar. This was a fine Cuban cigar. Since Cuba was occupied, the UK stopped importing Cuban cigars. These cigars are only smoked one less.
They would load some of the cargo carried by the Apollo onto the Revenge. What kind of cargo would make them mobilize forces like this?
In fact, the materials shipped on the Apollo seemed to have a lot of hardware accessories, but those accessories actually included engines, transmissions, tracks, road wheels and other accessories.
That's right, it's tank accessories.
Some of these accessories will be sent to Cuba by the Apollo, and then some will be transported from Mexico to the West Coast, and then transported to the northern theater by Mexican or Tang Dynasty merchant ships to supply the front line.
What are conditionally prohibited goods?
What is it that can be used both for military and civilian purposes?
This is just an excuse. Even if you need to prove that the destination is not an enemy country, what's the big deal? It's just a piece of paper to prove that the parts were shipped to Mexico. There is nothing easier than that.
?
Of course, this also gave the British an opportunity. When the British obtained the "Apollo" cargo manifest, they immediately saw the opportunity. After obtaining those accessories, they were even able to "cobble together" some tanks.
Ever since, this trip of the "Revenge" has begun, and Lieutenant Colonel Candes is the commander of this mission.
"Sir, please allow me to congratulate you."
Facing the compliments from his subordinates, Captain Condes accepted them unceremoniously. After all, he felt that this was definitely something worthy of congratulations.
Just as he was triumphantly accepting congratulations, the watchman suddenly shouted loudly.
"Starboard direction 170 degrees, ship shadow spotted!"
"Ship shadow? Where did it come from?"
Before Candes could figure out what was going on, within a short while, the black silhouettes of two battleships appeared on the horizon.
As the ships approached rapidly, the black silhouettes of the ships revealed their true colors in the sunlight.
These are two armored cruisers. They have smooth hull lines and tall pagoda-style masts, reminding people that these are the most elite Shinde-class armored cruisers in the empire.
It is said to be an armored cruiser, but it has as many as eight 12-inch naval guns!
The battleship's sharp bow easily cut through the waves, stirring up waves of snow-white spray. The red Imperial Navy's Suzaku flag fluttered in the wind on the mast.
"It's the Xinde class, it's the Xinde class, the battleship of the Ming Empire, my God, they are coming. They... they found us..."
Another lookout shouted loudly into the phone, and in an instant, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of all the officers on the bridge.
They all ran to the platform beside the bridge and looked towards the side of the ship.
They clearly know what it means to encounter a new German class here.
What is a "complex number"?
It's an auxiliary cruiser!
What is an auxiliary cruiser?
Even a cruise ship equipped with several 6-inch naval guns is still a cruise ship in the final analysis. If such a cruise ship is hit by a 12-inch cannon shell, it will definitely die!
"Oh my God, we, we are dead!"
This thought came to almost everyone's mind. The British sailors who had originally pointed their cannons at the "Apollo" looked at the two huge battleships in fear.
Watching them approaching majestically and quickly, watching their 12-inch naval guns flashing with a terrifying cold light in the sun.
Of course, we also saw them pointing their guns at the "Revenge". At the same time, they sent out a signal,
"Please indicate your identity."
Is this identity still used to express?
The Royal Navy flag is still flying there...
Looking at the black muzzle, the words from Hamlet suddenly appeared in Captain Condes' mind.
"To be or not to be?"
The old group has died and a new book club group has been established: 739209015. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
