Chapter 183 It’S Really Lazy
Under the gaze of Gao Qiang.
The ironclad ship in the distance seems to be just a wooden hull wrapped in thick iron sheets.
At the same time, the design of the sailing mast was completely abandoned and replaced by a human-powered water wheel.
However, there is no wood added to the ramming part, but it is made of pure iron. It looks like it should be easy to tear through ordinary wooden ships.
"Huh."
Jiuluo suddenly made a surprised sound.
"That ironclad ship seems to be approaching us?"
At this moment, the ironclad ship turned all its guns in the opposite direction, sending a friendly signal.
"interesting."
Gao Qiang looked at the movements of the armored ship on the opposite side and touched his chin thoughtfully.
When he was waiting for Long Xianyao earlier, he took Ye Na to play with Qiufeng on the waterway.
In Gao Qiang's opinion, this armored ship might be coming for him.
"It stands to reason that I haven't snatched a few ships. Has my reputation already spread here?"
"That is, your notoriety is known to everyone from the plankton on the bottom of the sea to the other side of the ocean."
Satan's flattering voice came from behind Gao Qiang.
Gao Qiang rolled his eyes and said, "Don't praise me by praising yourself, as if you're talking about how evil I am."
However, if it is really related to the several merchant ships he robbed.
Could it be that the other party is here to ask you to pay taxes?
Thinking about the words "paying taxes".
Gao Qiang narrowed his eyes dangerously.
At the moment when he was hesitating whether to directly call people to sink the opponent, the armored ship was already close to the distance where the sound could be transmitted.
I heard a sailor on the armored ship opposite shouting with all his strength.
"Dignified guest from the foggy city, our governor invites you to come over and have a chat!"
"Fog City? Are they talking about us?" Gao Qiang looked at Jiuluo in confusion.
Since entering the Age of Discovery, he seems to have not seen any fog.
Jiuluo nodded, took out the navigation chart, and pointed to the area marked with the bone burial ground.
"This area of our sea seems to be called the foggy sea area by outsiders."
"It's just a different name, so you don't have to worry about it."
After understanding the situation, Gao Qiang nodded.
Then Long Xianyao and the others were summoned together.
Anyway, we have to go to the island for supplies.
Since the governor of Yushan Island is so discerning, it saves a lot of trouble.
Following the armored ship sailing all the way, Gao Qiang finally saw the huge trading port that Joad mentioned.
Looking around, several huge four-masted sailing ships were docked there, and there were countless other sailing ships of various sizes.
There are also countless sailors wearing rough work clothes, sweating profusely, loading and unloading cargo, like hard-working ants.
This is the largest port dock that Gao Qiang has ever seen, except for the boneyard dock.
But the ironclad didn't stop here.
Instead, he led Gao Qiang towards the other direction of the port.
This time, the number of merchant ships Gao Qiang saw along the way was gradually decreasing. On the contrary, there were more warships.
These warships are floating on the ocean to guard against the approach of merchant ships.
During this period, Gao Qiang also saw traces of another ironclad ship.
To have two armored ships, Yushan Island is quite capable.
Until the moment the ironclad ship stopped, there was no trace of merchant ships around.
This port area seemed to have been completely cleared.
There was a guard of honor waiting on the shore. The ground was swept spotlessly, and there was even a clean red carpet spread on it.
It was in sharp contrast to the scene where Gao Qiang had just seen the sailors having sex in full swing.
I couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of the ruling class.
After docking the cruiser at the port, leaving the sailors and fishermen to guard the ship, Gao Qiang and his party walked off.
Zhaka squinted at Gao Qiang and others who were stepping off the armored ship.
He was not an idiot, so he naturally saw the difference between the other's armored ship and his own.
Although the difference in tonnage does not seem to be large, the opponent's ironclad ships do not seem to use human power at all.
Company ship? !
An idea suddenly appeared in Zhaka's mind.
Only the Pan-Ocean Free Trade Company, with its monopoly on technology, can build such ships that are far superior to their governors.
A trace of fear arose in my heart.
But Xhaka has no intention of changing his original plan.
With a wave of his hand, the surrounding honor guards played exciting music.
Zhaka, on the other hand, put a kind smile on his face, puffed out his belly, and crossed the line of bureaucrats to greet Gao Qiang.
"You must be the fleet from Fog City, right?"
"This is the governor of Yushan Island, Zaka."
"I couldn't predict your grand prize in advance, so I can only come to you in a hurry to pick you up. If there is any neglect, I hope you will forgive me. Haha."
Listening to the honorifics that come out of Xhaka's mouth, anyone will have a good impression of him in the first impression.
But right now.
Shasha glanced around and saw that there was no food at all. She couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It's really lazy."
...
The air froze for a few seconds.
Long Xianyao looked at Shasha in astonishment.
So when faced with the other party’s polite words, should we respond to such words?
Visible to the naked eye, Xhaka almost failed to maintain his smile.
Facing the unknown fog, people come.
When there is a possibility that he is his enemy, his first reaction is to praise him first. The higher the praise, the more miserable the opponent will fall.
The current honor guard is already the highest level of entertainment on Yushan Island.
He thought about what the other party would say to his grand welcome.
Like being flattered or something.
But no matter what, I never expected that the other party would actually say something, which was really disrespectful.
"Ahem."
Barely maintaining a smile, Zhaka asked Gao Qiang in a low voice: "You look at the dampness of the sea breeze on the shore, why don't you go and talk to me at my official residence?"
"Is he born in the year of the tortoise and can he be so tolerant?" Shasha subconsciously spoke out her thoughts.
Listening to Shasha's unbridled words, the atmosphere on the court was obviously awkward.
Gao Qiang gave Zhaka an apologetic look.
Shasha is a perfect diplomat, but unfortunately she is only good at insulting diplomacy.
Judging from the clenched fists in Xhaka's hands, he should not be calm at the moment.
The fat on his face has become prominent, but he still has to maintain a kind smile.
It's hard for Gao Qiang to imagine how the other party could keep his composure.
"Ahem, sorry, sorry."
Just when the atmosphere was really deadlocked, Long Xianyao suddenly stood up and started laughing.
Pushing Sasha and hiding behind Dakai.
Long Xianyao walked up to Zaka openly.
"You must be Governor Zaka of Yushan Island. I have long admired your name."
Although he just learned the other party's name a few minutes ago, this did not prevent Long Xianyao from being polite.
Finally a normal person.
Zhaka also breathed a sigh of relief.
If Shasha had said a few more words, the conversation would have been impossible.
