Liu Yongfu and the surrounding generals were very sensitive. They immediately put down their chopsticks and wine glasses, stood up suddenly, and looked in the direction of the gunfire.
"It was someone on a foreign warship who fired the gun. There was a fishing boat nearby. Someone on the fishing boat was injured. He should have been injured by the gunshot just now!"
Wu Dong's ears and eyes were sharp, and the sea was calm and the sun was shining at that time, and he had a good field of vision. He could see what was happening several miles away at a glance.
On the plywood of the warship with the Union Jack flag flying, a group of foreign officers and soldiers were cheering loudly and pointing in the direction of the fishing boat, their faces full of pride and complacency.
On the fishing boat less than a hundred meters away, a fisherman fell in a pool of blood.
I was speechless and didn't have much sympathy.
It's not that he is cold-blooded, but he feels that the fishermen who suffered gunshot wounds are just impulsive people blinded by profit, and they deserve the consequences of failure in taking risks.
It can be said that this plot in the Once Upon a Time movie is quite nonsense and unreasonable.
Although it is indeed uncomfortable for people to have foreign warships showing off their power in front of their own homes, there is nothing they can do about it in reality.
However, the injured fisherman said that he did not recognize the English flag and the American flag, which seemed to be a bit of nonsense.
Where is this?
Guangzhou Bay, the fishermen who fish here actually say that they don’t recognize the English flag, which is just a joke.
It is nonsense to say that the flags of the United States and England are confused.
It makes sense to say that the English flag and the Australian flag are difficult to distinguish. They are so different from the American flag. How could a fisherman who fishes in Guangzhou Bay all year round not be able to tell the difference?
A Union Jack flag and a Stars and Stripes flag, the difference is obvious, okay?
The injured fisherman in the movie probably lied because he was trying to cover it up.
After all, he wanted to provide vegetables to the British warships...
Among them, considerable benefits are involved for fishermen.
There is a militia group that runs the Foshan wharf and has the experience of monopolizing the supply of vegetables at the wharf. How could it not be understood?
The purchase of vegetables by the foreign warships cost a lot of money.
If it were at the Guangzhou Bay Wharf, the wharf gang would naturally be responsible for providing it, and there would be no chance for individual fishermen to intervene.
The fish and shrimp harvested by the fishermen are purchased by the dock gangs at very low prices. The price difference is a huge sum for the fishermen.
But if the fishermen took the risk to hook up with the British warship and provide their own vegetables on their own, it would be a considerable income.
The most important thing is that as long as we connect with the British warships, we will be able to continuously provide vegetables and vegetables in the future, and maybe we can make a fortune through this.
To put it bluntly, the injured fishermen most likely suffered this disaster because of their own greed. Even if it is not hateful, it does not deserve sympathy.
Don't talk about what you have and what you don't have. If this injured fisherman really gets rich through this, will he easily give up this stable source of income?
Maybe, another wharf gang will be established. When buying fish and shrimps from other fishermen, will they buy them at a fair price?
In the movie, the government did not come forward, nor did other forces come forward. Only Huang Feihong came forward. This is adding glory to the pig's feet.
It's a pity that the English, who are currently at their peak, don't give him any face at all.
On the contrary, the admiral, who had always regarded the vigilante groups as a thorn in his flesh, took this opportunity to attack Huang Feihong and caused a big trouble.
Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts in his mind.
Beside him, Huang Feihong had already called out to the sailors on the ship with righteous indignation, put down the boat and went to save people, as enthusiastic as ever.
Liu Yongfu and the generals of the Black Flag Army were gnashing their teeth at the British warships that were sailing away in high spirits.
As for the injured fisherman, although he sympathized with him, he didn't care too much.
They have seen so many lives and deaths that they can't even feel the slightest emotion in their hearts.
The atmosphere on the deck was a little dull for a while.
When the fisherman was rescued, Huang Feihong gave him emergency treatment and finally saved his life. After a period of recovery, he was fine.
Next, it is naturally time to ask about the specific situation...
Wu Dong was keenly aware that, except for Huang Feihong, who was filled with anger and rage, Liu Yongfu and the Black Flag Army generals had expressionless faces.
Obviously, these guys should also understand the key, otherwise their attitude would not be so cold.
Apart from echoing a few angry words from Huang Feihong, they continued to do what they had to do, and it did not affect their mood.
However, when talking about the powerful guns of foreign ships, the atmosphere will inevitably reach freezing point again.
"We all have one head and two arms. Why is the gap in combat power between us and the foreigners getting bigger and bigger?"
"Yes, they used to be wooden sail warships, but now they have been transformed into ironclad warships!"
"Didn't those guys in Beiyang purchase foreign ordnance on a large scale and equip them with a lot of troops? Why is the imperial court still so weak?"
"Who knows what's going on, anyway, I think foreigners are nothing more than that. If we really fight, our Black Flag Army is not bad at all!"
"Yes, a few years ago we fought against the French in Annan, and the fighting power of these guys is just that!"
"Okay, stop talking. These matters are naturally considered by the court. Is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"
Liu Yongfu shouted softly, ending the complaints of the generals of the Black Flag Army.
Huang Feihong was a little embarrassed, sitting aside at a loss and not knowing whether to answer the call or not.
Wu Dong's expression was calm and his mood was not disturbed at all.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and dull, he chuckled and said, "During this time in Foshan, I learned about the situation in some foreign countries!"
"To be honest, I don't think the gap between us and them is that big, at least at this moment!"
"Foreign warships are indeed powerful, but they cannot fight ashore. If the Black Flag Army encounters foreign troops on land, at least they will not be afraid, right?"
"Besides, as long as we are willing to study hard, with the size and wealth of the entire China, it will not be too difficult to catch up!"
"Of course, there are some things that we are not qualified to intervene in. There is no point in talking too much. We should just do our job well!"
Liu Yongfu nodded in agreement: "A Dong is right, we should do our job well and don't pay too much attention to other things!"
When the banquet is over, this farewell will be over.
There was no lion dance or scenes of Huang Feihong's performance, everything was very peaceful.
When they landed, the group had already arrived at the boundary of Foshan, and the injured fisherman was also brought over. Obviously Huang Feihong wanted to be a good person to the end. As for whether he would have a strong sense of justice and go to seek compensation from foreigners, Wu Dong didn't know
