206 Strong Party
About half a month later, the raiding force finally made all preparations and was ready to set off.
Beiwei's original plan was to leave quickly and return quickly. He estimated that only one squad would be needed to bring about ten people to carry out the operation. If he was more cautious, he would prepare a platoon at the back with more than 30 men and guns ambushed in case the front operation failed.
It can be used to cover the retreat of the scouts. In his opinion, this scale is more than enough.
However, this plan was unanimously opposed by everyone when it was discussed by the committee's staff group. Everyone cited various "possibilities"...the ship might encounter headwinds midway, or encounter pirates, or might end up on land.
I was unlucky and encountered a large Ming army during the operation... In a word: it was too risky.
Bei Latitude patiently answered a few questions at the beginning, but soon couldn't stand it anymore and threw away his pen:
"Damn, I'm worried about this and I'm worried about doing a stupid job. I don't care, you guys can make the plan. Just let me know how to take action."
After leaving these words, Beiwei went to sleep on his own, but this did not affect the mood of others, and the enthusiasm in the conference room was still high...
"This is the first time we have sent people to the mainland to perform a mission. It is very different from Hainan Island. It is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. It is easy to mobilize a large number of troops to form a siege, so no matter what, safety comes first
."
First, Professor Li set the tone for the entire plan, requiring that it must be safe and sound. It did not matter whether the action was successful or not. The people sent out must be able to return safely. On this basis, everyone had a heated discussion... and finally came up with the plan.
An absolutely "safe" plan was proposed, and even Professor Li himself was shocked after reading it.
——North Latitude has the final say in sabotage operations at the front, and no one can get involved. However, they did their best to provide support at the rear, sending a full regular company of more than 130 fully armed soldiers.
In addition, there is an artillery platoon, equipped with two 209mm large-caliber mortars modified with oxygen bottles, carrying four base shells... This does not include the newly developed "Thor" rockets, which also carry twenty.
Launched from a metal-welded single-shot simple launcher.
"I'm dizzy. Are you planning to attack Leizhou Mansion?"
When Beiwei saw the plan the next day, he screamed, while Xie Xi, the main proponent of the combat plan, laughed:
"I'm just considering the worst-case scenario: if you fail to evacuate in time, you are surrounded by a large force of the Ming army. As long as you find a stronghold to hide in, with the firepower of this army, you will never be able to defend it for ten and a half months.
Question - this will give us enough time to organize reinforcements."
"Who needs reinforcements then...?"
Beiwei sighed, but after all, everyone had good intentions, so he could only accept it.
As for the candidate to lead this army, Jie Xi originally volunteered to take action in person, but it was quickly pointed out that he was too enthusiastic when formulating the plan before, and then he made such a large-scale plan, which showed that he had bad motives.
Suspicion - If Lao Jie is allowed to lead this army, he may actually go to attack Leizhou Mansion.
Therefore, everyone unanimously ruled out the possibility of letting Xie Xi lead the army. Later, the old professor said that young people should be given more exercise, so they decided to choose one between Hu Kai and Xu Lei.
The two young men really wanted to go. After a fight, they finally decided on the candidate by tossing coins - Hu Kai won. Pang Yu and Zhao Lide also decided on the order in the same way, and Ade guessed correctly.
On the front side of the coin, we were the first to get this opportunity to "open up wasteland".
"Hey, it's like using level 80 equipment to get a level 30 dungeon... a powerful party!"
When bidding farewell on the pier, Pang Yu made a rather sour comment, but Adé, who was in a good mood, certainly would not argue with him and laughed generously:
"Being afraid of death is nothing to be ashamed of. We neither have resurrection skills nor can we turn into souls and run away from corpses. If we don't have strength, we won't feel at ease."
When there were too many people, the ferry arrangement became a problem. Fortunately, it was easy to contact by phone. Huang Xiaodong quickly drove two big fortune boats directly from Lingao Hongpai Port. Each of them can accommodate more than 200 people. In this way, even if one of them is at sea
In the event of a breakdown, the transportation task can be completed solely by relying on another ship.
"These ships are all second-hand goods bought from merchants, and they are very slow. So don't run away when you encounter pirates or the like. You won't be able to escape."
Because Huang Xiaodong had to assist in the refitting of the Qionghai, he could not sail the ship himself, so he took Liu Tiecrocodile from the crew team and repeatedly warned him - the latter was the former pirate leader nicknamed "Old Iron Crocodile"
, by this time he had become very successful in the crew group and could lead a group of people to run the ship.
"Understood, Military Advisor Zhao has already given instructions: If you encounter robbers at sea, let them board the ship, and then try to take advantage of them..."
Huang Xiaodong's mouth twitched. Even though he had followed them for so long, there was no problem with his loyalty and he had brought the whole family over, but it seemed that this guy would never be able to change his pirate habits.
But looking at the group of people around him, Huang Xiaodong felt that the people in his sailor group were the most like good citizens - the young men in the military group all blackened their faces with charcoal strips, and some of them had already turned hairy before they even went to sea.
He put on his auspicious camouflage suit, and at first glance he looked like a nest of tree monsters popping out from the cracks in the rocks. It would definitely scare people when walking on the street.
However, as the company commander, Hu Kai was neatly dressed at this time - the military uniforms equipped by the military team for the soldiers were imitated from the 87-style camouflage training uniforms worn by Tang Jian and others, consisting of a coarse cotton jacket and loose-leg breeches.
, and leggings are also required. This set of clothes is very good in terms of concealment and convenient movement, but the visual effect is not very outstanding. Especially the local people are not very accepting of the camouflage style, and there are a group of children during every training
Chasing after the butt and shouting like a playboy.
For this reason, some people have proposed to issue military uniforms or military uniforms to soldiers. However, considering the cost issue and the public debate on the style of military uniforms, it has not been implemented yet. Soldiers can only wear camouflage in peacetime and wartime.
Most soldiers actually don't mind this. They are very satisfied with having uniforms, not to mention the clothes are wear-resistant and convenient and practical. There are already similar style jackets on the market, but they are all single color without camouflage - short
Mao doesn't allow it.
Hu Kai's military uniforms are also distributed products of the same type. Originally, the uniforms were distributed according to the same size, so they would tend to be a little too big or too small for everyone. But Hu Kai's suit has been carefully modified.
The shoulders, cuffs, trouser waist and other parts have been carefully cut to fit the figure better. The tightened waist makes this young man who is already 1.85 meters tall look more upright, and the whole person looks heroic.
Full of masculinity.
At this time, there was a woman stepping on a small bench, climbing up and down Hu Kai, biting the needle and thread in her mouth, making the final mending for him. Hu Kai stood there like a clothes rack.
He stood still and looked at everyone's eyes triumphantly, with a proud smile on his face.
"Is this his girlfriend? The one who works in the entertainment industry?... Doesn't she look too old?"
This is the first time Ade has met Hu Kai, the rumored local girlfriend. It is said that she is an old madam who helped him incubate. They say that Hu Kai, this little fat cow, was gnawed by a bunch of old weeds. Now it looks like
The two are not that incompatible - except for their height, of course. The average height of local residents is more than 1.5 meters, and this girl just barely reaches the average height.
"It's okay, she's only three years older than him - is a female college student holding a gold nugget? I heard that girl has quit her job now and is waiting at home An Xin for Hu Kai to marry her and live a lifetime with her husband and children.
…”
"That's such a good long-term meal ticket, I must grab it."
Probably because of his previous career, Ade's tone contained a strong sense of contempt, but Pang Yu smiled:
"She has her own mansion, a large box of savings for dowry, a complete set of servants and maids, and a nightclub property - in our place, she is a single rich woman. Most people can't curry favor with her even if they want to.
Well...if this kid Hu Kai hadn't been restrained by military regulations, he would have barged in and lived in someone else's house."
Ade snorted. This group of people has been living in this era for more than two years. They are not Puritans. They will definitely have emotional and physical needs. Modern people are very open-minded about this. As long as both parties are consensual, it doesn't matter.
Restrictions - of course, unless otherwise specified within the military group.
Xie Xi, Huang Xiaodong and others have found girlfriends who are also time travellers, and they can digest it internally, so there is no trouble. There are also some time travelers like Hu Kai who have chosen local girls as their spouses. Generally speaking, after security review,
If the woman is allowed to live in the green zone with her, she will be treated the same as the couple and they will be given a separate dormitory.
However, most women in the Ming Dynasty could not accept living together before marriage. If they wanted to formally get married, the concept of family in the Ming Dynasty was far more than just a couple. They had to include servants and the like. The scope of the green zone was far from enough and safe.
There are no guarantees either.
Some people have previously filed an application report, requesting to leave the Green Zone and purchase property to live on their own, but the committee has always been cautious about this. Tang Jian even strictly ordered soldiers not to live outside the barracks. Poor Hu Kai was restricted by this restriction
Live, temporarily playing the role of a cowherd - in the traditional sense.
Fortunately, there are not many such people now. Most modern men still look down on local girls. This is especially true for girls. I have never heard of any girl from the 21st century willing to fall in love with a man from the Ming Dynasty...
However, as time goes by, the restrictions on concentrated living in green zones will be relaxed sooner or later. Everyone knows this.
"This aspect is also a problem. We need to come up with a policy as soon as possible... Let's discuss it after the situation stabilizes."
Ade hurriedly ended the conversation - the sailing horn sounded, and the action team members boarded the ship one by one. Xie Xi Pang Yu and others stood on the edge of the gangplank, saluting every soldier who set off.
"We must bring them back alive!"
Professor Li Mingyuan repeatedly warned Beiwei and Zhao Lide, and both of them solemnly agreed. Under the eager eyes of everyone, the two big fortune ships slowly left the dock and headed for the Ming Dynasty territory across the strait.
Chapter completed!
