Six Hundred and Thirty Eighth, Gao Jie's Sacrifice
Text 0638 Gao Jie's Sacrifice
Wai Rust is a private land under the name of the Morgan Chamber of Commerce. It has been operating on this island for more than a hundred years. Naturally, Morgan's transformation of this island will not be as simple as the world knows.
Life is precious, and his own life is especially precious, so Morgan spared no effort in the construction of the underground shelter. There are several sets of complete and unknown underground shelters hidden deep in the jungle here, with affiliated tunnels, sea caves, matching small boats and fresh water. There were disappointing performances.
The Deputy Chief of Staff of the French Channel Fleet, His Excellency Vice Admiral Louis de Reylano is now standing in a gloomy sea cave.
This sea cave is very small, less than 10 meters high and no more than 20 meters long and wide.
The decoration of the sea cave is very new. The walls of the cave have been repaired and leveled artificially. There are logs side by side under the feet and stone slabs with moisture-proof paint on the top.
Every other step on the wall there is a vacancy for torches. The torches scorched the air and spit out a bright orange halo, illuminating the people passing by, as well as the delicate boat moored in the bay.
Bermuda's special two-masted Brigantine Clipper New Victory, which is the official model and name of this ship, has a total length of 12 meters, a mainmast height of 8 meters, luxurious decorations, and more importantly, a maximum speed of 18.5 knots.
She is the work of Morgan Shipbuilding with all its might. Among the sea-going ships that have been announced today, the speed and adaptability are second only to some ship types of Drake Marine Group, and the cost per square foot even exceeds that of Valkyrie, which is not equipped with ships. It is a well-deserved golden ship.
Leilano is very knowledgeable. From the moment he saw the boat, he was completely immersed in her incomparable beautiful curves, deeply and hard to extricate himself.
Fortunately, the French gentleman is naturally highly resistant to temptation. Even if he sinks like an idiot, he can still express his dissatisfaction normally.
"Mr. Jin!" He was very dissatisfied, "I don't understand! It's just a group of small pirates, why did the great French navy hide? Why did they abandon the battleship and move all the crew to this dark place like moles Like a rat!"
Alsace showed special humility, no previous arrogance and indifference, only humility.
He bowed his head deeply, unable to see his face: "Your Majesty, the pirates may not dare to fire at the great French navy. But they are desperadoes, and the attack on Wai Rust has proved that they have long lost their minds .”
"But……"
"You are a truly noble gentleman." Alsace may not have heard Raylano's voice, and continued on his own, "For the future of the French Navy, you have to hide your name and risk yourself alone. I understand the feeling in your heart." High desire to save this island, but sir, under the duty and task, you cannot hoist the flag of France, and you have no more and better warships to command."
"But……"
"Even if you are a male lion, you must avoid the hungry jackals in good time when you are alone. Even if you are as noble as you, when you can't have both, you have to make a difference between us humble businessmen and your equally noble colleagues behind you." trade-off."
"But……"
"I understand that doing so will tarnish your honor, and I know that you are suffering at this moment. But please don't forget that Furious was sold for a full 410,000 yuan. This huge sum will become a highlight on your resume , you will single-handedly drag the great French navy out of the quagmire of fiscal deficit!"
"But……"
"Your Excellency Lieutenant General Raylano!" Alsace raised his head, holding back tears and raised his voice, "Think of your colleagues far away across the ocean! The generals there can no longer afford the fine wine of the thirteenth period, and the lieutenants have already Can't afford to have a tryst with a beautiful woman, non-commissioned officers can't afford meat, sailors can't eat bread...Think about that, think about all of that!"
Raylano was dumbfounded.
He thought empathetically of the wines from the sixteenth period on the table, which were obviously good wines, but lacked the precipitation of the year, and the taste was always sour.
He also thought of his subordinates who were dissatisfied with their desires. Those good guys took the initiative to reduce the frequency of attending dances, and how many god-given marriages did they miss?
He also remembered... Those things don't matter, anyway, it hurts him so much!
"Mr. Jin..."
"Your Excellency." Alsace lowered his head again, his voice was earnest and moving, "Although it is the merchant's selfish desire, I sincerely think that you can neither take the blueprints with you at this time to take risks, nor should you leave the blueprints behind. fighting."
"You should stay here, protect the future of the French Navy with your blueprints, and your subordinates. In order for this transaction to continue smoothly after the chaos subsides, you need to sacrifice your honor!"
"Here." Alsace pointed to the ship and the sea cave in front of him, "This shelter is the only one in Morgan's hands that has a secret pier, and its exit is very hidden. Show signs."
"You can rest here and recharge your energy until the night sinks and the sea tide recedes, and then open the water gate that isolates the sea behind you. The New Victory will take you and the fury's chart to evacuate to a truly safe place , when the time comes, I assure you that I will definitely send the buyer and the gold he promised to you.”
"This is the best solution right now!"
Raylano was convinced, thoroughly convinced. Although the honor of a soldier does not allow him to avoid fighting like a coward, the fact that hiding is for a greater cause suddenly becomes noble.
He sighed: "As expected of Mr. Jin, I saw my hesitation at a glance. I was hesitating between mission and justice before I agreed to your plan and abandoned the French warship."
"I thought I would end up regretting my decision, but fortunately, I did the right thing."
The two fell silent, silently watching the sailors who had abandoned the ship carry boxes of blueprints onto the New Victory, carefully stacking them neatly.
Leilano suddenly asked: "Mr. Jin, the island is in chaos right now, where are you and your dozen employees of the chamber of commerce going to hide for a while?"
Arthas froze for a moment.
Although he didn't intend to stay in the refuge in the original plan, he definitely didn't mention this matter to Leilano, and he had no reason to confide in Leilano.
That is to say, at least until the planned change, he is still Leilano's escort, and those employees are the servants who escaped from Pier 30 together.
In order to move the officers' personal belongings from the abandoned ship to the shelter as completely as possible, 6 employees were abandoned due to insufficient evacuation.
In order to find a way for Leilano to avoid the battle, Alsace racked his brains and exhausted his tongue.
In the face of such a group of accompanying guests who have no credit and hard work, no one with a little bit of shame would be so straightforward to cross the river and tear down the bridge, right?
After all, Alsace had just escaped from the Sanctuary with Reilano not long ago, witnessed the blood and corpses along the road together, avoided the flying shells together, and abandoned the dock shrouded in despair together...
With just a dozen more people, the exposure risk of this shelter will not increase.
Could it be that even after experiencing so many things together, Leilano still failed to build up a little bit of trust in the Morgan Chamber of Commerce?
Arthas looked puzzled.
Leilano was frowned by Alsace, and couldn't help snorting coldly: "What, Mr. Jin? I remember you said at the pier that the tenet of the Morgan Chamber of Commerce is to allow customers to come and go through absolute control. Get the experience of being at home, and if you encounter a few twists and turns, your creed will change?"
"Of course not." Alsace quickly adjusted his mood and expression, and re-entered the mode of humility, "I will leave here soon, Your Excellency, the mission entrusted to me by the patriarch was to bring you here safely , and completely hand over this place to you."
"Is that so?" Now it was Leilano's turn to be stunned.
"It's absolutely true, Your Excellency." Alsace stepped back and bowed, without saying anything more, he simply turned around, took a quick step, and walked towards the door.
"Mr. Jin!" Leilano stopped him from behind and asked tentatively, "Mr. Jin, the situation outside is not optimistic. Maybe I can send a team of elite sailors..."
"This is Wyrust, Your Excellency, and this is Morgan's island. No matter how rampant the pirates are, if I act alone, there is always a way to protect myself."
"Are you alone? The employees of your chamber of commerce?"
"Your Excellency, the safety of the shelter is entirely based on secrecy." Alsace did not turn his head, "One more person leaving means more possibility of being captured, and one more prisoner means more risk of being exposed. Morgan Chamber of Commerce There are also employee pensions. Although it is not as complete as the Drake Chamber of Commerce, at least for two or three years, their orphans will not be hungry."
Cold as a knife.
Alsace stood on the stairs, and the orange flames cast long swaying shadows, writhing on the plank road paved with logs, like tentacles of evil beasts rising from the abyss of hell.
Raylano was inexplicably lost.
It was that god-like effort, Alsace disappeared. The tentacles of the evil beast were still swaying in the small space of the secret dock, but the source was unconsciously transferred to Leilano himself.
He felt ashamed, lost his mind for things that should be taken for granted, and was taught by a humble businessman, all of which made him feel ashamed.
He spat bitterly and shouted softly, "Come on!"
"Yes, sir!"
"The refuge has been transferred to full-scale martial law. For the sake of the property of the Kingdom of France, all non-ship crew...killed without pardon."
