Although all supplies had been loaded on the ship during the day, it was still unexpectedly time-consuming to board the ship, which took nearly two hours before it was ready.
Until the skyline to the east began to turn fish belly white, and a bright morning glow gradually dyed the sky red.
Only then did all the telescopic side panels begin to be retracted and retracted into the belly of the cabin.
There were many people watching on the shore, all bidding farewell to the fleet on its first official trip.
Liehu glanced back and forth until he saw Somo standing behind the crowd, then waved with satisfaction.
"Let's go, let's sail the boat!"
I still remember that the last time I went out to fight as a subordinate was twenty-four years ago.
Unexpectedly, more than twenty years later, he would miraculously return to his previous life.
What a twist of fate!
Unable to tell whether the emotion in his heart was excitement or anxiety, Liehu simply turned his gaze away from the shore.
The pilot ship issued the command, and the entire fleet began to slowly start, moving forward steadily and forcefully in the direction of the countercurrent.
call...
The propeller placed under the water begins to rotate, generating thrust forward.
I have to say that the formation of nearly a hundred large ships is indeed spectacular.
Under the reflection of the rising sun, it looks like a giant dragon connected in series meandering forward on the water.
Layers of water were lifted up, and the river water rolled on both sides of the ship, like white ribbons dancing on the river surface.
For those flat beach veterans who had never seen such a scene, it was undoubtedly a visual feast. Everyone stood beside the deck railing curiously, watching the scenery on the shore recede intently.
It wasn't until the fleet had been sailing forward for nearly two hours that the crowd began to disperse reluctantly.
no way.
Qinggang City is originally located in the tropics, and many people have never experienced sub-zero temperatures in their lives.
Now that the boat is sailing, the wind blowing behind the river is bit biting.
Even the strong hunting tiger could only shrink back into the cabin after carrying it for a while, and his already ginger skin turned white from the cold, let alone other Pingtan soldiers who had never experienced such a scene.
"Damn it, why is the weather getting colder and colder? It shouldn't be."
As the nominal supreme commander of the Purple Star Expedition Fleet.
Drinking the hot tea brought by the sailor on the ship, Yehu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled while sitting in the cockpit.
The temperature had obviously been rising a few days ago, but now it has dropped suddenly and strangely.
If the temperature continues to drop, it will undoubtedly bring a severe test to the subsequent war.
"Master Yehu, according to our experience, the temperature should still drop."
The captain "Ji Guohai" who was calibrating the course turned around and reminded with a smile.
Limited by the cognitive barriers set up in the game, Earth players cannot disclose detailed disaster information to the Blue Star people.
However, some related weather changes are not subject to restrictions, as long as they are not made too obvious.
"Is it still falling? How much does it have to drop?"
"I don't know, but based on our experience, it's probably going to be at least 20 degrees below zero."
"So low?" Liehu's brows twitched, and he felt a little strange why Ji Guohai knew so clearly.
But when I looked back, I realized that they were outsiders after all and didn't know the situation in this wasteland.
And these people on earth have been living for a long time, so they should be aware of climate changes.
"Yeah, but don't worry, the fleet has prepared the corresponding cold protection materials."
"And this low temperature won't last too long. It should pass in a few days."
"That's it..."
Upon hearing that it had been a few days, Yehu was relieved.
In an expedition that is often measured in months or even years, the impact of a few days is not significant.
In addition, after he goes there, he still needs to investigate intelligence and implement the plan to persuade surrender and instigate rebellion, which will give him some free time.
"By the way, bring me the compiled intelligence information. I'll review it carefully now that I have some free time."
"Well, okay, Lao Song, go get the information for Master Yehu."
Ji Guohai didn't even look back. He only called the second deputy Song Lu to get the information, but he continued to stare ahead.
Even though Yehu and Sumo were very familiar with each other, they often joked and fought.
When it comes to normal earth players dealing with Hunter Tiger, the two sides can't help but be separated by a layer of separation.
There are Blue Star people on one side and Earth people on the other.
Slight differences in culture and language result in communication that always lacks meaning.
In addition, Liehu was the airborne commander. Although the Earth players in the entire Ziwei Star Fleet did not say they had violated Sumo's orders, they were still a little dissatisfied in their hearts.
Modern warfare is not like ancient times, where two armies have to fight each other first after arranging their formations.
He is just the manager of the Gopher Sanctuary. Even if it is true as stated in the public information, Yehu's personal combat effectiveness is extremely superior, but it is still unknown how powerful he will be on the battlefield.
This dissatisfaction did not appear too abrupt to Third Officer Ouyang Fangyuan and Second Officer Song Lu. Although they had some reservations about Hunter Tiger's arrival, their overall attitudes were quite enthusiastic.
After all, the reputation of hunting tigers has long been known. As the manager of Pingtan Sanctuary, his public records and talents have made people curious about him.
However, when it came to Captain Ji Guohai, this emotion became particularly strong and obvious.
Yehu's arrival was equivalent to a superior being parachuted in. He didn't doubt Yehu's ability, but felt a little unwilling to be suddenly placed in the position of a subordinate.
As an experienced manager who has experienced more than ten years of ups and downs and has unique insights and superb skills in military training and combat, Yehu naturally discovered this.
But he didn't care, he just smiled and put all his thoughts back.
The art of leadership lies in guiding rather than suppressing, and in inspiring rather than commanding.
Only stupid commanders will compete with their subordinates to fight for the rights that belong to them.
This doesn't make sense.
The correct way should be to use your own abilities and lead the team to win every battle.
At that time, all doubts and disharmony will naturally disappear with continuous victory.
Hunter Tiger is all too familiar with this.
The reason why he was able to continuously climb up from the bottom, from an unpopular mutant to the manager of Pingtan Shelter.
He asked himself whether he had gotten to this point just by relying on words.
Looking through the detailed information recorded in his hand, Yehu quickly immersed himself in it.
At the same time, an invisible storm was rapidly unfolding in the territory of the Honghua Gang.
...
Although the late spring cold has had a serious impact on the Southern Fire Territory, causing continuous chaos and trouble, in the central region, because most of the territory has planted crops with strong cold resistance, the situation is relatively stable.
It's just that there are unpredictable weather conditions. It has been sunny for most of the month since the beginning of spring. But when the disaster is about to come, thick dark clouds come from the sky, covering the sky at noon as if it were in the evening, and it looks like there will be a heavy downpour.
fall.
If it had been normal, it would have rained this time, just enough to moisturize the dry land.
But the disaster is approaching, and no one can guarantee whether it will happen continuously.
In order to prevent a large amount of rainwater from accumulating in the ground and causing waterlogging, almost everyone was driven to the ground and dug drainage channels with tools.
Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like ants moving, which is spectacular.
Field ridge near the pier.
Su Deben, Ni Yan, and Qu Changfeng walked in front, while Liu Zhi, Song Chunrui, Wang Bi, and Pang Pangyuan followed behind them, talking to each other and observing the changes around them.
"Brother Liu, look at the Honghua Gang now. Compared with the past few days, it is really different!"
Looking at the busy scene in the lush green fields, Pang Pang Yuan couldn't help sighing.
What was the scene like here when they first came here?
Everyone was wearing ragged and patched clothes, carrying chipped farm tools, and all looked disheveled.
It has only been three days, and after receiving material support from Tianyuan, earth-shaking changes have taken place here.
Not only is there material wealth, everyone is neatly dressed and energetic, and the farm tools in their hands are also brand new.
It is also a qualitative change in spirit, and the rush for a better life is almost overflowing!
"That's right, with so many free materials distributed, it will be difficult to change any territory." Liu Zhi's eyes narrowed with a smile, and his cheerful steps were a little empty.
Before receiving the mission to Tianyuan, he was just an unknown person in the territory of the Honghua Gang.
Later, because of the mission, Ji Wuming gave him the status of deputy lord for diplomatic purposes.
However, in the past two days, his reputation in the territory has obviously surpassed that of the lord Ji Wuming.
Even though Ji Wuming showed up and spoke every time he distributed supplies, ordinary people still chanted his name, Liu Zhi.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhi quickly quickened his pace and walked to the position side by side with Su Deben.
"Uncle Ben, I'm really grateful to you these past two days. If it weren't for you, who would know who I, Liu Zhi, am?"
Su Deben glanced at him sideways and said cheerfully: "You little naughty boy, you have a sweet mouth. But then again, if it weren't for the huge potential and development prospects of the Honghua Gang's territory, you would be nothing but a fool."
If you pay me, I won't bother to endorse you."
Liu Zhi quickly nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. Uncle Ben, you are willing to help me open a factory here, which is also a blessing for the more than 200,000 people here. If this disaster passes, I will definitely not
I will live up to your expectations, open the factory as soon as possible, and ensure that it is run well so that everyone can live a good life."
Liu Zhi was shameless and called him "Uncle Ben" in a friendly manner, which made the three people behind him get goosebumps.
But at the same time, despite being embarrassed, the three of them couldn't help but feel jealous of Liu Zhi's methods.
In the past few days since the fleet arrived at the dock, Liu Zhi has not been immersed in the joy of improving his status in the territory, but has continued to actively engage in wooing Su Deben.
From initially caring about the trivial matters of daily life such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, to later doing everything himself, his meticulous care makes people amazed by his determination and perseverance.
The three of them even had a feeling that if this old uncle agreed to Liu Zhi's request a little later, Liu Zhi would really do whatever it took, even if he recognized him as his godfather, to achieve his goal.
This kind of persistence is really surprising and admirable.
But then again.
Who would have thought that Liu Zhi was so lucky. Not only did he receive investment and loan support from Tianyuan Territory, but he also had a senior engineer who was willing to provide early technical assistance.
How the hell is this taking off? This is obviously pie in the sky!?
In the future, as long as the factory is opened to a large scale and supports the entire territory, who the hell will know who the lord Ji Wuming is?
Moreover, with the big and thick legs of the Tianyuan Alliance, Ji Wuming had to consider the consequences even if he wanted to kill Liu Zhi.
In a sense, it can be said that Liu Zhi has truly become the deputy lord of the Honghua Gang.
Given time, it would be possible to replace Ji Wuming and become the real lord.
Of course, Ji Wuming himself must have noticed this.
A few people glanced around aimlessly, and sure enough they saw the lord on the other side of the field.
Although the weather was not too hot at this time, the lord brought a lot of wooden barrels filled with wild vegetable soup with his people.
The area is divided according to the raised ridges of the fields. Everyone can go and get a bowl to quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger after the bucket-carrying team comes over.
"I didn't expect that this guy is still putting on a show and trying to find a way to lick Tianyuan. I'm afraid it's too late."
"I even suspect that Tianyuan just wanted to replace Ji Wuming, so he endorsed Liu Zhi."
"Maybe, who asked him to commit suicide?"
The three people walked behind, deliberately keeping a distance from the four people in front, and whispered.
At the banquet on the first night, all three of them attended.
But no one expected that this Lord Ji was just like a fool, and he dared to play off his own lordship status with Cui Lu.
Cui Lu believed that someone from the Honghua Gang had leaked the news and asked Ji Wuming to investigate immediately.
Ji Wuming, however, kept saying haha and was unwilling to explain the situation clearly. He only vaguely said that he was already investigating.
This kind of excuse made even the three of them feel a little uncomfortable, let alone the captain Cui Lu.
Immediately, the two quarreled about the alien raid that broke out in the afternoon.
It lasted until late at night, and Cui Lu left angrily, so much so that he did not get off the ship again these days.
"I think he deserves it. He thinks that as a lord, he is the one who deserves the favor of the public. In fact, it is revealed at the first glance. He doesn't even know what ordinary people want!"
"I think Brother Liu will treat us better after he becomes the lord of the Honghua Gang. If he comes to the Honghua Gang to discuss cooperation in the future, he will not be afraid of being humble and being looked down upon by others. And if you think about it, our status is also temporary..."
"I, Cao, don't you also have the idea of letting Tianyuan support you to become the lord?"
"Then who can say for sure, if our lord is stupid..."
As the three of them talked, they felt some unwarranted expectations in their hearts.
Although these words sound a bit rebellious and subvert their own territory.
But who wouldn’t look forward to continuing to climb up?
