The heavy rain fell steadily. Looking up to the sky, there were dense black spots, and there was no white reflection of water at all. When it hit the water, one after another bubbles appeared and disappeared.
There was a mist of water above the deck. In addition to thunder and lightning, there was also the movement of the rain when it hit the deck, and the thick part of the deck was crackling.
The sails on the ship had already fallen, and I didn't dare to continue to carry it, and the windows were closed one after another. Even so, there was a lot of rain that gathered in the middle and low places as it moved towards the ship.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan put on raincoats and scanned the river with binoculars to see what other boats would do.
The boats on the river came to shore, and then they didn’t know where they took out the drill, nailed it into the soil on the shore, tied the rope to fix the boat, and they set up a shed on the shore. , Hide inside.
"Actually, none of the boats broke, and all the boats have been located." Zhang Xiaobao looked for a while and found that there was no danger on the surface of the river, said.
"People are not stupid. You know it is going to rain, and they know it too, and the locals live here, so how can they put themselves in a dangerous situation? Look, there are two big boats up front, ready to organize rescue. ."
While Wang Juan was talking, the two boats coming upstream were stuck together and made a collision sound. It was clear in the heavy rain, and he quickly arranged the people on the boat to prepare for rescue.
Normally, the current situation cannot be rescued, and everyone protects themselves. Even if they see the ship overturned, they can only stare and hope that people will survive.
That’s because the rescue equipment is different. The boat on your side is a rubber dinghy and an inflatable life jacket. If you fall into the river, you don’t have to worry that you will sink. The people in charge of rescue are all proficient in water, which can save the person who fell into the water to a large extent. life.
Zhang Xiaobao was equally anxious, but once again looked at the situation there, he said: "There is no need to rescue, because they ran into each other deliberately. Look at what their two boats are doing."
Wang Juan shook the water on the binoculars and looked at it again, and he saw that the two boats were colliding in between, and something was placed on the ship's side to reduce the force. He didn't know what was in the sack, the sound was loud, but The two ships were not damaged.
Now they are throwing ropes between each other, you throw them on my boat, and I throw them on your side, and some people use springboards to nail them on the decks on both sides.
"This is... the way the pirates seize the ship. They want to join the two ships together and fight the wind and rain together? Is it to... I know, because the rain will be heavy, the water washed up upstream will become bigger, forcing them to change the direction of the ship, like that? It’s the most dangerous thing. Now that the boat is approaching, he can bear it and he’s smart."
Wang Juan looked at the layout of the boat and praised him. People are forced out. In fact, you can know in advance that it is raining, and then take precautions first, such as finding a stable place to stop and drop anchor.
But people can't determine when the rain will fall. In order to save time, they will force their way forward. When this choice is made, it is estimated that they have already discussed with other ships, and the two ships will be close together instead of colliding together.
Don’t be afraid of being nailed to a few small holes on the deck. You can put glue on it and plug it with something, wait for the wind and rain to pass, remove it, and then move on, saving an hour’s time and sending things to the place an hour earlier, saving two. One hour is two hours. If the wind blows away the clouds, it is even better. It is better than waiting.
"You see, they are not stupid, and your auxiliary tools are not easy to sell. When the fog comes, others will also come up with a solution."
"Who said that? The smarter people are, the more convenient tools they will choose. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet and see if they can buy them?"
Zhang Xiaobao said unconvincedly.
The boats on the river basically stopped, not for fear of rain, but for fear of hitting other boats.
Only the steam engine ship is still moving forward. They don't care if it rains or not. They don't need to pull the tracker when the current is upstream, and they don't raise their sails. They are very confident in the face of this simple rain.
Zhang Xiaobao's team was even more so. The difference was that there were sails on the boat to slow down the speed. It fell down at this time, and then the machine sounded, speeding up past this relatively narrow place.
Seeing that there was nothing on the surface of the river, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan turned back to the cabin and leaned on the recliner to rest. Sleeping is the most comfortable now.
Becky and the others just took a bath, went to bed under the covers, and they were all relaxed, and they could soon fall asleep.
"I don't know if the rain is heavy or not on the battlefield. I can't see how much area the rain cloud covers. It is really uncomfortable without satellite cloud images."
Zhang Xiaobao pulled a blanket over him and shook it back and forth slightly, worrying about the people on the battlefield.
Wang Juan next to him had a calm look. Hearing Zhang Xiaobao’s words, he said: “The more rain it rains, the better. After a few days of continuous rain, we will get a large number of horses. After the muddy ground, the horses will not be able to run. , Our people sniped a few people, and then shouted vigorously to surrender and not kill, they surrendered."
Zhang Xiaobao agreed: "It's true that Arabian horses have always been easy to use. We can't slow down the domestic development speed for the sake of war. Therefore, we have to turn some of the military horses into commercial horses. When the domestic economy develops, we More off-road vehicles can be made instead of horses."
"What kind of off-road vehicle? Is it four-wheel drive?" Wang Juan asked.
"Can't a three-wheeled tractor work? A very combative model. The diesel engine has a strong power, a larger wheel, and a higher chassis. In general, it is easier to use than a horse except for the places where the body cannot go."
Zhang Xiaobao imagined the scene when the tractor army was dispatched. If it were on the plain, the power would be great. It would be more convenient to chase down the enemy if it rained a little bit. As long as it was not too muddy, the tractor could easily rush past.
The two people were talking boredly, and there was a knock on the door outside, and then a person came in and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "The Meteor team has just sent a telegram. They have arrived in our country and are speeding up their march. After a day and a half, I arrived at the injured village and asked if there were any arrangements."
Zhang Xiaobao sat upright, with a happy expression on his face, considered it, and said: "There is no arrangement for them to let them do things cheaply, but they have to send a telegram. Three days later, the Datang official newspaper will report this matter. Don't use them and The real names of their family members mean that things are gone."
When the people came to quit, Zhang Xiaobao exhaled in relief and lay back again, turning his head to look at Wang Juan and saying, "It's fine to come back. Give our women an explanation and let them kill their bullies. Live."
"Don't you worry that after they avenge their revenge, let go of the last thought in their hearts, and then go to die?" Wang Juan followed.
"It's really possible that someone will come and generate electricity and tell them that after seeing the two women in the village, I told them that the court spent a lot of money to help them get people back. Let them cherish it and give it to Datang. Do things, if you die, Datang will not be worthwhile.
If they still want to die, tell them that their lives cannot be sacrificed in vain. Join the army and train to be a field medic, and it will end when they die. "
Zhang Xiaobao yelled at the door and didn't lie down at all. He sat up to make tea and eat melon seeds. This is also a good pastime on rainy days.
Wang Juan followed and drank together.
After a while, he ate the melon seeds that Zhang Xiaobao handed over and said: "It's really hard work. I'm worried that people in the village look down on them, and their men don't want them."
"Dare, why not? When you need a man, where are the men? Those old men in their village should really commit suicide, don't worry, send the heads over, the living ones, and then their men It is estimated that he will still be proud of this. The most important thing is that the governor who was taken away before, he still wanted to press down.
People with this kind of mind control the place, and inevitably hope that the people will be honest and obedient, and will not cause him trouble, so that the people will become weak and weak. "
Zhang Xiaobao analyzed and said that he was most disgusted with the officials like the provincial governor who had been escorted to the capital before. They bullied the people under his control for fear of causing trouble.
Wang Juan also hated him and turned the people into sheep, so how could he do it
She said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Thanks to something that happened to expose him, otherwise it will take a long time. The local people will lose their bloodliness one by one, and they will be useless in the future. Others will learn from him. A nation has lost bloodliness and it is so scary.
It should be democratically elected. The people vote by themselves. Those who are elected will naturally be responsible for the people who voted. The benefits of democracy are reflected, and they should really learn from the United States. "
"What do you learn from others? We have also had democracy. The former emperors, but they became the heads of the big tribe after they were embraced by the people, didn't they change little by little later
Why is America Democracy? Because the United States does not have its own national soul, the spirit needs years to settle. In a country with a history of hundreds of years, it is actually impossible to learn our national spirit.
They were all colonized in various places, and some were sold as slaves in the past. When they get together, can they think undemocratic? "
Zhang Xiaobao likes to destroy other people's prestige and raise his own ambition.
Wang Juan didn't make a sound. For a while, the room was quiet, except for Zhang Xiaobao's tea drinking and the sound of peeling melon seeds for Wang Juan.
The heavy rain was still falling, and it didn't mean that it was getting smaller at all. The ship swayed with the ups and downs of the water, making people sleepy.
When Zhang Xiaobao drank the tea tasteless, Wang Juan finally spoke.
"Xiaobao, what you said just now really makes sense. Compared with countries with many years of history, the United States does have one less national spirit in the soul, but their skills are good, they use force to defend their citizens, and they strive to cultivate It is estimated that my own national spirit will be about the same in a few hundred years."
"Yes, but they are very bad. They don’t see other people have this kind of thing. That’s why he hopes that all countries are as democratic as them, especially small countries. They have been bullied one after another. In the Arab region, they don’t want unity. Yes, so I always use all means to combat it, trying to destroy the spirit of Islam."
Zhang Xiaobao said that I was not angry, but I didn't care.
