555 Go home for dinner!

It's a bit late, please forgive me.

"Where are they now?"

After hearing the news brought by Zheng Zhihu, the first reaction of Pang Yu and others was to ask for the safety of their group. Clipper ships dominate with speed, and are not outstanding in armament and armor. When sailing on the sea

Of course, they are not afraid of any opponents - no other ships in this era can catch up with them, but if they are unlucky enough to be blocked in the port, it will be very troublesome.

Therefore, after owning the clipper ship, they mostly only used it on familiar and safe waterways, such as those along the southeastern coast of China - because in the modern nautical charts recorded by the Qionghai,

There are the most detailed information about the routes in this sea area. Even at the mouth of the river, due to sedimentation, the modern and ancient hydrological data are slightly different, but the offshore part is always the same. At the speed of a clipper ship, this is

It is impossible to drive close to the coastline.

On the other hand, for safety reasons, the clipper ship is not used for naval warfare after all. Even if there is a place reserved for installing rocket launchers, it is usually disassembled and put away - anyway, if you encounter someone with evil intentions at sea

On an unfamiliar ship, the operator of the big flying shear only needs to shake the steering wheel slightly and change the direction slightly, and he can throw the opponent behind in the blink of an eye. Why bother to install a burden that is basically unused? It is just at anchor.

You need to be careful at this time, but along the way there are ports that have been classified as "green" safety level. There have been no accidents for more than a year, so it is inevitable to relax mentally.

What worried Pang Yu even more was that he had overheard Jie Xi talking about it before - Julie felt a little unhappy because the wedding had ended so hastily. So Jie Xi thought about taking advantage of this opportunity to go overseas.

, take her to find a quiet and beautiful island, stay there for a few days and relax, and Gulangyu Island in Xiamen is on his list of options

So an emergency contact message was immediately sent out. Each of their important sailing ships was equipped with radio devices. However, the ship radios produced in large quantities using materials from this space and time were much lighter and more compact than the fixed models used on land, but the power

It is also relatively small and cannot receive and send wireless signals anytime and anywhere. Only when it is within the range of a large base station can it be connected to the network and receive signals from other sites.

A telegram was sent out, but there was no reply...two...three...all without any news. Although it was not yet time to make an appointment for daily contact, the sea situation was complicated and changeable, and the radio was temporarily unavailable.

It is common for children to be unable to contact them. But in the entire Shandong base, as long as they were senior officials with authority, they all became nervous when they heard the news.

While communicating with Xie Xi and the others, Pang Yu of course also sent the news back to Hainan. Hainan Island was also extremely shocked after receiving the report - Xie Xi and the others had not returned to Hainan at this time. Originally, they had pressed "Xue Feng" to wait for three

Due to the speed of the ship, these ten days were enough to return to Hainan Island from Shandong. Just because before departure, Jie Xi had said that there was no need to rush and that he wanted to treat this voyage as a honeymoon trip, so they took a walk on the road.

It's normal to stop and go, and no one knows their schedule - it's even possible that they don't have it at all.

"Starting from the next contact period, including subsequent contact times, all relay stations will be turned on and all communication frequency bands will be used to send signals to the Yukikaze Fleet until contact is made with it."

Not long after the telegram from Shandong was sent, the Hainan Island headquarters issued the above order to all relay stations along the coast of the mainland. So within one day, those Ming Dynasty businessmen who were eager to send telegrams from the mainland to Hainan Island,

The officials and other customers were wronged - the telegraph offices that were originally open to them and could send messages as long as they paid a fee had a "suspended" sign in front of them. Although the current customers of these telegraph offices are not

There are a lot of people, but as long as they know how to use this thing, most of them are in an emergency. But today, no matter how anxious they are, the staff of the telegraph office can only shrug their shoulders and say that they can't help. When asked why, they

They all remained silent and shook their heads to express their ignorance.

…………

At one o'clock sharp at noon, a full hour of daytime contact time ended. In the communication room of the Shandong base, several people stared at the silent telegraph machine in silence.

"Perhaps we just couldn't make contact for a while and left the working range of the nearby relay station... This kind of thing happens all the time. There will be another contact time at night, so we can continue to try..."

Pang Yu still pretended to be calm and tried to comfort everyone, but his livid face revealed his true inner thoughts, but of course no one would laugh at him at this time - because everyone's expressions were similar.

At the same moment, in the telecommunications room at the Baiyantan headquarters on Hainan Island, the atmosphere was similar to that at the Shandong base. However, compared to Shandong, which lacks maritime power and can only act anxiously, Hainan Island can take more measures.

"Can the headquarters still mobilize ships?"

Aunt Song, the chairperson of the committee, tapped the desk gently and asked. This old lady who always behaved calmly rarely made such small gestures. She would only do this when she was upset. So Professor Li, who was most familiar with her character next to her, couldn't help but ask.

Pat the back of your wife's hand from time to time to express comfort.

"Baiju and Feiyan are undergoing maintenance at the port. I have informed them to end all maintenance projects immediately and prepare for sailing."

Next to him, Osayan replied, although this should not be his responsibility in the first place.

"Then let's set off as soon as possible and go to Xiamen first, especially around Gulangyu Island."

The old lady gave the order, and Professor Li next to him added:

"Ask the crew to contact the Zheng family in a timely manner. The Zheng Group may be quite...irritable at the moment. Don't cause misunderstandings."

"Okay, I will remind Huang Xing to pay attention to this."

Osayan quickly left to give the order, while several other people in the telecommunications room further discussed the unexpected situation.

"Should we recall the main fleet in Luzon? Or at least bring back the Qionghai."

Some people suggested, but others objected:

"The Battle of Luzon has come to an end, but the closer it is to the end, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen. Now they need the battle fleet to finish the battle, so why rush to recall the fleet? It would be bad if something unexpected happens."

"The Qionghai ship's fuel is still insufficient. If it is forced to be recalled, it can only lie on the dock. Moreover, there are currently a large number of captured ships in the Manila port waiting for repair and modification. The defense there is far inferior to that of Hainan Island, which is exactly what is needed.

The Qionghai ship is on defense."

"What about the Dutch fleet that is roaming around in this area? Should we just leave it alone?"

"So what if we leave it alone? They have no base here and no stable supply line. Even if they are wandering around and cannot occupy the port or land, what can they do?"

"What can we do? Hum, it's just that it may threaten the safety of several of our brothers and make everyone nervous to death..."

"Don't be so clumsy, okay? I understand that they may just temporarily leave the range of the relay station. This situation is not uncommon. According to the regulations, in non-wartime conditions, contacting them every two or three days is enough."

"I hope so. The Snow Wind's good luck is worthy of its name..."

——Amidst the heated debate among this group of people, the committee finally made a decision: send a telegram to Luzon to inform the main force members there of the situation. It is up to them to decide whether they can transfer the fleet back. As for Hainan

All the remaining ships on the island were dispatched to search carefully along the routes that the Xuefeng fleet might have passed, looking for the whereabouts of Jie Xi and others.

Of course, these ships sent out are all ready for battle. If they encounter the Dutch ships, they will definitely fight - regardless of whether they have encountered the Yukikaze fleet or not.

…………

While everyone is anxiously looking for Jie Xi and his party, what is Lao Jie doing?

——He was fishing leisurely while Julie was swimming and playing in a shallow pool not far away. Behind them, in the lee of a large rock, there was a small temporary tent set up.

In front of it is a small fire pit, with an iron shelf placed on the fire pit, waiting for Lao Jie to put the fresh fish he just caught on it to smoke and grill...

This is exactly the honeymoon life that Jie Xi has dreamed of. As for the specific location, it is an uninhabited island with beautiful scenery in the East China Sea. As long as the vegetation on overseas islands can be maintained these days, most of the environments are very good, and there is no need to look for it.

Those scenic spots of later generations.

So when Xie Xi observed the tranquility and beauty of this unknown island through the telescope, he immediately decided to stay here for a few days. He and Julie lived a beautiful life without any chores or idle people to disturb them. On the island

On the other side of the beach, Jack and Anna occupied another beautiful beach alone. No one disturbed the other, and they lived in their own world.

In this case, of course, the judge would not mess around with the radio, and the location of the island had long been out of the coverage of the relay station. However, for the sake of caution, he let "Shigure" and "

The two ships "Nobuki" took turns patrolling the area, on the one hand to prevent any uninvited guests from suddenly coming to disturb us. On the other hand, every once in a while, a ship would approach the mainland, receive wireless telegrams, and report to the base that everything was safe.

This arrangement worked two days later - when he saw a communication boat breaking his ban of "don't disturb anything" and rushing to the beach, Xie Xi sighed. He knew this beautiful and beautiful thing.

The short vacation is coming to an end.

"What's going on? Are you in such a hurry?"

When Julie returned to the shore after having fun, she saw that Lao Jie had already packed up the tent and sundries and was retreating just waiting for her to come back. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But Jie Xi just shook his head helplessly:
Chapter completed!
