C1877 Gales Journey (2/2)
”Any ship is precious. We must guarantee the supply of more than 40 of your warships within three days... What can I do! ”
A group of people were scolding in Chinese. One person was able to tell the difference between the two in English. The entire scene was like a squabble between a chicken and a duck.
Zai Chun was also stunned, seeing that both sides had reasons, what should he do? You can't say that the other party made mistakes in their supplies, and even if you scratched your head, Zai Chun still wouldn't be able to say anything.
Only Xiao Letian smiled as he looked at the scene in front of him. A group of cooks from Great Qing only went around the ocean for a bit, looked at the local customs and practices in dozens of small countries, and then they dared to challenge the British! ”
”Remember how frightened the citizens were when they saw the foreigners. Even the officials were scared and didn't know what to do. Where did the foreigners come from? They became super citizens and even officials have to be careful …”
”But now, a bunch of cooks are actually brave enough to stand up for a British captain and even dare to curse a bastard! ”What kind of difference is this …”
”Why is this happening? ”It was all because of that shot yesterday. It was because all the Chinese saw it with their own eyes. That shot which tore apart the enemy's painting had nailed a nail into the Chinese side. That's why they have the confidence!”
Thinking about that, Xiao Letian smiled as he walked forward to rescue them, ”Alright, don't make it difficult for the British side, they have already given their all for our supplies. Everyone come aboard with me, the Adventurer King will bring us to the shore of the Jia Le Castle!”
”Thank you, Führer! ”Thank you, Head of State …” The noisy chefs immediately smiled brightly. The captain was relieved and immediately saluted Xiao Letian with gratitude.
A three-day break was extremely rare, and everyone knew that the next resting place after the voyage would be somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea.
There were an uncountable number of people who tried to pull some strings with Jin Sanshun these past few days. After all, Jin Sanshun was the Internal Affairs Elder, and he had to sign all the vacation forms to have an effect.
The soldiers who got the vacation were all waiting for the ferry to arrive with smiles on their faces. They didn't need to be sad that they didn't get a vacation. At least, it was not bad to have three times the military pay for the three days on duty.
When the Adventurer King brought everyone onto the Sri Lanka, the first batch of soldiers on leave had already started to come ashore.
The blue sky, green sea, reef, and beach, as well as several tens of meters high cliffs. The stone lighthouse built by the Portuguese five hundred years ago was still in use, and the sturdy stone fortress was on a high ground. The shore defense artillery was vigilantly aimed at the sea.
The sea birds circled in the sky. The air was filled with the sweet smell of fruits and the unique smell of the Sri Lanka's special cedar oil.
Zai Chun and Shang Tai's eyes were wide open as they looked at what was happening in front of them. The two muscular guards behind Shang Tai especially helped him to carry the camera and tripod, and went up to crack anything he saw.
Just as they were strolling along the streets of Jia Le City, the nearby pier suddenly erupted into a wave of cheers and cries. When they focused their eyes, they saw thousands of local citizens crazily attacking the Chinese Army that had just come ashore.
”This is bad!” Master, look! Our brothers are being attacked by the local people! ”What should I do …” Zai Chun shouted loudly.
