When Elsa heard this, she immediately asked happily:
"what is the benefit?"
Su Chen smiled and said: "Well, it depends on how successful our navy's food trip can be in the end."
"If we can defeat the Dashi Empire, it will be possible for us to help you restore the country at that time."
"What's worse, we can take you with us when we return home."
Elsa walked up to Su Chen, stared at Su Chen with her beautiful eyes, and said word by word in Chinese:
"Your Excellency, please remember your promise and take your little girl with you before you leave!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his room.
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, turned to Lapu Pasu and said:
"Is her Chinese already at this level?"
Rapupasu:…
The next morning, Hashem put on a brand new robe, wrapped a turban, and dressed up carefully.
He climbed on a tall camel with a gauze tent on the camel's back.
Two Persians dressed as giant cannibals were leading his camels in front.
Liu Rengui and Liu Jingren followed behind them dressed as food warriors.
Walked around the shore,
Su Chen clapped his hands: "It looks good. Let's go when you're ready!"
Hashem wants to pretend to be a master noble, to be precise, a relative of Sutan.
Sutan is generally translated as Sudan in later generations, which is a high-level official position in Dashi, similar to a governor.
It is a special way of ruling the occupied areas by the Dashi Empire.
A place ruled by such a sultan has a certain degree of autonomy and can call itself a sultanate externally.
This kind of sultan is usually sent by domestic nobles from the Dashi Empire.
A bit like the colonial governor in the colonial era.
During the period when the Great Eclipse was strong, there were dozens of such sultanates, spread across the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa.
This time Hashem pretended to be a relative of a Sudanese man from the Horn of Africa.
Go to a small town a hundred miles away to visit a tax collector,
I hope to find out from the tax collector where the nearby cannibal gathering places are.
The reason for visiting is very simple and straightforward,
Sudan wants to re-establish trade routes between the Horn of Africa and the peninsula.
This kind of trade route between the Hams and the Great Cannibals existed before, but it was abandoned due to the wars in recent years.
The Horn of Africa is now ruled by Sudan.
Of course, this profitable trade route must be controlled by the Sultan.
Su Chen sent his nephew here in advance to establish good relations with the officials on the peninsula. This is only human nature!
Hashim was originally the prince of a vassal state of the Great Eater, pretending to be a family member of the Sultan of the Great Eater, which was very casual.
After Hashem and his party left, several groups of marines also sneaked into the peninsula.
Their mission is to wait until Hashem and his party get the exact location before taking action!
Hashim and his party went smoothly and arrived at their destination the next day.
Enter the city, book an inn, send someone to give gifts to the officials, and then wait for an interview.
Liu Jingren walked around the city and returned to the station: "It's far worse than the county town of Datang, but there are a lot of livestock!"
"If we can find more small towns like this, our mission will be accomplished."
Hashem said: "General, it won't work. Don't tell me just to remember the location of such a small city."
"Even if we could find out the locations of other towns, they would probably be too far away from our marching route, so it would be inconvenient!"
Liu Jingren smiled and said: "I just said casually, everything in this operation will be at your discretion!"
"But it's been so long, why hasn't the tax collector made any move? Isn't it because he thinks your gift is too light?"
Hashim smiled and said: "Don't worry, the main activities of cannibalism usually take place after sunset!"
Liu Rengui went over and lifted Liu Jingren away from Hashem.
"Cooperate well with General Guide, and don't talk if you have nothing to do. This is a cannibal town, and you are in danger of being exposed as soon as you open your mouth!"
Put Liu Jingren aside and be honest, Liu Rengui said in his heart:
Fortunately, I came with him, otherwise this young boy would have ruined the commander's plan!
Just now, when no one was watching, this kid slipped out and went shopping!
In the evening, the food official sent someone to invite Hashem.
After Hashim left with his two Persian followers, Liu Rengui immediately closed the doors and windows tightly and said to Liu Jingren:
"You guys, please be honest and leave everything to the Persians,"
"Stay in your room and wait for news from Hashem."
Hashem came back the next morning,
After returning, Liu Ren was happy: "Mission accomplished!"
The accompanying Persian took out a map and handed it to Liu Rengui.
Liu Rengui took it and took a look, it turned out to be the official map of the Great Cannibal.
The Persians also marked the map in Chinese.
Hashim said: "I have also asked about the locations of several cities in the northern provinces. Let's set off in the afternoon!"
Liu Rengui nodded and said to Hashim: "If things go as smoothly in the north as this time, your work will be completed for this mission!"
In the afternoon, Hashem and his party left the small town and headed north.
Halfway through, Liu Jingren and the two team leaders quietly left the team and went to the predetermined location to meet other marines.
"Captain, do you really want to let this small town go?
There are quite a few camels in there.”
Liu Jingren turned his head and glanced at the small town behind him, and sighed: "Forget it, this place is too far away from our marching road,"
"If you start too early, you will alert the other cannibals. If you start too soon, you will be too late."
"Let's go to some tribal gathering points near the road!"
…
Datang Royal Navy Fleet,
After Hashem and his party left, the fleet began to slowly move towards the planned landing site.
At the same time, several gunboats and frigates were dispatched to patrol along the coastline toward the Mandab Strait.
The upper end of the Red Sea is sealed, and Su Chen has already explored it, and there is no strong defensive strength.
The fleet only needs to be prepared if the Great Ogre suddenly sends warships from below and enters the Red Sea.
Four days later, the fleet quickly began to build temporary trestles and docks at the landing site.
The next day, I received news from Liu Jingren that I had identified several gathering places for cannibals and were preparing to take action tonight!
At the same time, Liu Rengui and Hashim also rushed to a desert oasis on the north side of the road before the sun set.
Behind him was a group of heavily armed Marines.
Hashem has discarded his gorgeous robes and put on a suit of alloy armor,
Holding a pair of telescopes in my hand, I couldn’t put it down.
Liu Rengui held a telescope behind the dunes and observed for a while.
"According to the agreement, Liu Jingren and the others will take action tonight,"
"Same for us!"
"Hashim, it's still too late for you to return to the fleet,"
"I won't have time to take care of you when we start taking action later!"
Hashem said firmly: "Commander! Hashem is also a warrior!"
"How can you let the commander take care of you?
It’s impossible to run away from the battlefield!”
