The storm is coming

"Ride a sailboat and become a pirate?" Zhou Yuan still listened carefully to this advice, but she had some doubts about the content.

In movies and TV shows, pirates roared in on large sailing ships, but that was hundreds of years ago, when technology had regressed, and human weapons were much more advanced than at that time. Before they even got close, they would be shot into pieces by bullets.

"Of course! If we want to travel across the seas, there is no chance of sailing on an oil-burning boat, at least not for now. If any parts are broken, we will die of thirst on the sea. But we are not afraid of sailing boats. As long as there is wind and navigation ability, we can go to all parts of the world.

, no one can stop it.

Don't think that pirates fight face to face with real swords and guns. That's deliberately distorted for the sake of looking good. In fact, we can use the cover of darkness to sneak up on them in a small boat and climb up to beat each one with sap.

The men are captured and used as slaves to farm and produce, and the women are given to you to keep in the harem to have more children. In less than 20 years, we will have a maritime empire, and you will be the first queen! Look at the bones in my body, I can withstand another 20 years

There should be no problem in the year, right?"

If Hong Tao is an experienced local expert in terms of combat, governance, and political struggles, he is a real expert on how to be a pirate. He not only has theory and practice, but can also combine theory with practice and adapt to local conditions.

And compared to other projects, he also prefers this kind of capital-free business. Whatever rifles, bullets, and cannons you have, I can have them. I can prevent thieves for a while, but I can’t prevent thieves forever. As long as I have enough patience.

, no one can escape.

Besides, if mankind cannot fully restore the industrial level to the level of the early 20th century in a short period of time, building modern sea ships will be a dream. By then, the main forces of naval warfare will still be large sailing ships and smoothbore guns. At most, they can get a steam engine, and then

There is essentially no difference between front loading and rear loading.

"Hahaha... If I can, I would like to try the Queen! The radio frequency and password are still the same. I hope that a landlubber like me will not be reduced to the position of king of the sea."

I don’t know whether it was the scene described by Hong Tao that was more beautiful, or the title of the first queen that was more powerful. Zhou Yuan finally laughed out loud, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. Unfortunately, like Jiao Qiao, she had no yearning for the sea, and was instead afraid of it.

More, I really don’t want to choose it if I don’t reach the end of my rope.

It came suddenly and went away quickly. After watching Hong Tao board the boat, Zhou Yuan drove west with a few borrowed infantry fighting vehicles. She wanted to return to Minggang Airport as soon as possible, and first communicated with Jiao Qiao, Lin Na, and He Wanjun.

, Zhang Ke had a chat, and then immediately returned to the capital, preparing to face a storm that was sudden for most people.

The end of May is supposed to be the most pleasant season in Beijing, but the rain came a little early this year. Last night's heavy rain still didn't wash away the sky, but it dropped the temperature by several degrees. Even wearing long clothes and long trousers,

You can feel the cold air coming in.

To the south of Chengxian Street, on the third-story balcony of a tall imitation Chinese-style building, a man was sitting at the coffee table in early autumn, without taking a sip of the coffee in front of him. He looked past the railings and the roof of the hall not far away, staring at the haze in the sky for a long time.

Chengxian Street was the name of the Qing Dynasty. During the Republic of China, it was renamed Guozijian, and later it was called Jiutiao, Hongri North Road. After a full circle, it returned to the starting point. Guozijian was the highest institution of learning in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and was also the highest administrative authority in managing education.

Institutions are also called Taixue and Chinese Studies.

Next to the Neighbor Prison, there is another building complex with the same level as the Forbidden City, called the Confucius Temple, also known as the Temple of the Masters. In addition to being a place where ancient emperors worshiped sages, scholars at that time would also go to the forest of steles here if they were successful.

Leave a name and surname. It is said that in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, a total of more than 50,000 people were recorded.

In one word, this street has a rich cultural atmosphere! In the old world, whenever the high school entrance examination or the college entrance examination came, there would still be students and parents who would bring their children who were about to enter the examination room to pay their respects here and pray to all the masters and masters.

, my senior brother and sister are blessed by the heavenly spirits, and they also held high school exams and so on.

The antique building where Chuqiu is located is also a large and impressive building complex, called the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Now it has not only changed its name, but also its purpose. It is no longer a palace for people to appreciate art, but has become a museum of the East Asia Alliance.

The highest power and legislative body, the seat of the Alliance Council.

You can partially tell a person's personality by choosing an office location. After taking office in early autumn, after repeated selections, I finally chose the office location here. In addition to being able to get a bit of ethereal cultural atmosphere, it may be that I hope that it is not far away.

Yonghe Temple also blew some fairy spirit here.

It’s hard to assess whether he has immortality or not. He said he didn’t. Not long after he took office, he was challenged by Liu Quanyou and Zhou Jinlan. At that time, Chuqiu was a waste in the political arena, except for a former director.

There is nothing more than the name of a eldest wife. The most visited place is the Lama Temple.

In the end, the most vacillating and influential couple, Jiao Qiao and his wife, remained neutral, while Landi, another powerful official, chose to side with them at the last moment. In addition to favors, I am afraid there is also the blessing of the Buddha.

But come on, why didn’t it work this time? It was originally just an ordinary zombie cleanup operation, but I didn’t expect to be surrounded by zombies led by living zombies. I wanted to take this opportunity to show off the achievements of my hard work over the years.

As a result, he also encountered a super-powerful living corpse and almost became an accomplice.

I don’t mind being laughed at privately for a few times in the early autumn. I haven’t suffered it in recent years. Even the elders of the reform faction are probably not interested in their own ability to govern. They just want to use this brand to protect and expand their own affairs.

It’s just the power.

But before anyone could laugh out loud, an explosive news spread to the capital at the speed of light and spread quickly among officials at all levels. The founder of the alliance was not dead. He appeared in the coachman of Ping An Transportation Company and was now talking to Zhang

Ke is surrounded by zombies on the roof of the community!

Hong Tao is not dead!? When Chu Qiu first heard this rumor, he didn't take it seriously at all. The royalists are really getting more and more useless, and making up a rumor is so low-level.

If you want to beat yourself up, the best way is to minimize the shadow of Hong Tao and shake it out when nothing happens. Doesn't this remind the veterans who are still here and let them continue to cherish the old feelings?

But when the council members also heard the news from different channels, Chu Qiu became a little unsure. It was not that Hong Tao was still alive, but that the person who deliberately spread the rumor this time was a bit fishy.

Neither Jiao Qiao nor Lin Na was in the capital. Zhou Yuan also went to the front line and transferred Niu Dafu and a flying squadron of the Air Force stationed near the capital. Even the air service regiment known as the garrison only left one battalion, most of which were

They are also support staff.

Is this a coincidence? If you think about it in another direction, you can't help but get chills on your back. If Jiao Qiao and Lin Na are persuaded by Zhou Yuan to support the royalists, then this cleanup operation fails, it is very likely that they will become

A perfect excuse to launch an offensive against the reformists.

In order to win over young generals in the military, the reformists have always supported the staff led by Pan Wenxiang. They also strongly support their strategy of using force to open the way and appease the subsequent strategy.

As a result, the defeat came before the alliance troops could reach the north bank of the Yangtze River. The main force of the entire regiment was besieged by the zombie army on the outskirts of Xinyang City. The deputy chief of staff was imprisoned, with no hope of breaking out.

If the royalists and centrist forces collude at this time and make a fuss out of this matter, the reformists, who have always believed in unifying the country, expanding the influence of the Chinese nation, and establishing a Greater China Circle, will inevitably be very passive. They can't even handle a mere zombie.

Why talk about going south in a big way and sweeping across China and East Asia...

However, after the subordinates visited the Kindergarten of the Armed Forces Ministry, the idea of ​​Jiao Qiao and Lin Na changing their stance was no longer valid. Their children were staying well in the kindergarten, and the older one was following Lan Yuer.

Who said that this couple with military power, investigative power, and control of most of the alliance's military and police forces would support the royalists? Chu Qiu could believe it, but who said that they would risk their homes and children for their ideals? I'm afraid the entire alliance would not

People will believe it.

In the midst of hesitation, He Wanjun's secret report was sent in time, which completely solved the royalists' worries about taking the opportunity to stir up trouble, but it also put another trouble in front of them: Hong Tao might actually be alive!

Although the real person He Wanjun has not been seen, Zhang Ke's speech has spread to almost everyone in the military and political circles within a few hours along with the secret report from the officers of the 8th Regiment. This is the real source of the rumor that Hong Tao is still alive.
Chapter completed!
