Chapter 134

Lu Yuanzheng’s face became even more grave, and Xu Man even heard him swear

Xu Man asked him in a low voice, “Are they running to Rainbow Island to commit suicide?”

Lu Yuanzheng grunted, “Have you ever seen anyone who wants to run to someone’s doorstep and hang themselves really want to commit suicide? Besides, that’s the equivalent of hitting a wall and wearing a helmet”

He also wondered what the front of the battleship nailed so thick protective armor, this is not the North Pole no ice can break, and this thing is not like anti-ice, bulletproof are a bit of a waste

It turned out to be to prevent fierce collision

Xu asked if he understood, “To bump into the porcelain?”

“What’s the meaning of collision?”

“It means that if you’re driving a boat, the other party will suddenly go under your boat, and then slander you for hitting him, and ask you for compensation”

Lu Yuanzheng nodded: “This word is very graphic, I guess this is what they call touching porcelain”

Soon the Rainbow arrived at the pier as well

Several companies of officers and soldiers surrounded the front of the ship, heavily armed, with both sides facing each other at gunpoint

Lu Yuanzheng asked Xu, “Take your brother and sister-in-law back first It’s not suitable for you to stay here”

This time, Xu asked, “Be careful” He didn’t want to follow Then he took his sisters-in-law and dispersed, returning to their respective homes

It was not until they were on the island that Sang Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief

“Alas! I forgot to read the yellow calendar before I left home” Sang Xiaoqing stroked her chest, not forgetting to assist Xu Wen, whose legs were so weak that he could hardly walk

Not scared, he is seasick

Exercising at a constant speed can make you seasick, let alone accelerating, and halfway through the journey, Lu Yuanzheng made a sharp turn

If Lu Yuanzheng’s skills were not as good, the Rainbow would have tumbled into the sea

Xu Wen and his family were all a bit sick to their stomachs, and Xu Wen wished that Lu Yuanzheng had crashed into the ship, so that he could feel a bit of pain

Xu Wen brought the two of them to the family area

Yesterday, Lu Yuanzheng deliberately went to open a one-room wooden house for them to live temporarily

Xu Man and Dongsheng spent half a day cleaning and arranging it

They also put ice pots and fruits in the room, which is very comfortable when you enter the room

Just today, this incident, I’m afraid Xu Wen and his family will not be in the mood to stroll around Rainbow Island again

In addition, Xu Wen was already seasick, and now he just wants to sleep

Xu Wen only helped to bring the food over, and asked them to rest well and went back to his home

Her back is also covered in cold sweat

In her two lives, she has faced death twice

In her last life, she crashed a plane and waited for death to come, unable to do anything

This time, she had a chance to survive, but she wanted to stay with Lu Yuanzheng and choose death on her own accord

But just because she wanted to be with Lu Yuanzheng, she chose to die of her own accord

She is just afraid that Lu Yuanzheng will be distracted and doesn’t dare to show it

Dongsheng saw the rainbow ship back, from the outside jogging home, not yet breathe well, pounced up and hugged Xu asked: “Ma Ma! Ma Ma! You can come back! You scared me to death I heard that there were bad people here I was afraid you’d be taken away by the bad guys”

Xu Wen bent down and hugged Dongsheng, his face pressed against his little face, “It was almost taken But in the end, your father sacrificed something very important to protect us”

Dongsheng seemed to understand, only grasping a key point, “Where’s my dad?”

“He’s negotiating with those bad guys I don’t think he’ll be back until later”

Lu Yuanzheng came back in the early morning

Xu Man was in shock and slept poorly She woke up as soon as Lu Yuanzheng went to bed

Normally, she wouldn’t have woken up

Lu Yuanzheng put his arm around her, patting her on the back as if he was coaxing a child, and asked softly, “Scared?”

Xu Wen nodded, “A little bit” After a pause, she asked him, “Lu Yuanzheng, are you particularly sad right now?”

Lu Yuanzheng fell silent and smiled bitterly, “I really can’t hide anything from you”

He let out a long sigh, “This is my tenth year in the military I have experienced one hundred and seventy-three battles, large and small Indeed, it is the only time I became a deserter”

At the last second

He changed direction

This would never have been possible before

“This is not considered desertion” Xu asked, “You did it to protect the people, including me”

Sister-in-laws or not, Xu Wen and his wife No matter how heroic they were, they were only innocent people

If there were only officials and soldiers on the Rainbow

Then all the officers and soldiers would jump into the sea at Lu Yuanzheng’s command, and their chances of escaping would be at least 70% to 80%

And Lu Yuanzheng would have crashed into that warship without hesitation, just like he planned

But like the sisters-in-law said, the ship was exercising under extreme speed, even the life jackets couldn’t save them

The officers and soldiers who went into the water with them would have sacrificed themselves for a one percent chance of survival

The chances of survival were slightly higher than crashing directly into the ship So they chose not to jump

Regardless of what happened to them, these officers and soldiers shouldn’t have died because they were exhausted from saving them

They should be heroes of the battlefield even if they died

In that case, they might as well crash into the warship together

And so the pressure came back to Lu Yuanzheng’s side

Blocking the enemy ship was certainly important, but on the Rainbow, the military wives plus Xu Wen and his wife, nearly twenty people were just unarmed civilians

They were the ones they had to protect with their blood and sweat

We can’t ignore their lives just because they are willing to sacrifice

At the last moment, Lu Yuanzheng still couldn’t do it, so the rudder in his hand deviated by one centimeter

Just like the steering wheel of a car, in the state of a car exercising at high speed, the steering wheel is skewed by one centimeter, and the body will tend to arc greatly

Rather, he didn’t expect the other party to end up being skewed as well

Lu Yuanzheng reluctantly smiled, sort of accepting Xu Man’s consolation

Xu Man was curious, “What exactly is that ship here for?”

Lu Yuanzheng hesitated

As an afterthought, Xu Man remembered that this was a military secret, and busily said, “It’s late, get some sleep! With them around, it’s estimated that you won’t be able to rest well for about the next while”

Thinking on his toes, he also knew that there was absolutely no way that battleship was coming to crash and leave

Lu Yuanzheng pinched his brow and said, “I should be able to tell you Because they’re from country f ,” he let out a long sigh, “we need a professional translator”

Xu Man froze, “You don’t have an interpreter?”

“These past few years have been a special period, with only a handful of labor dispatches studying abroad So there aren’t too many people who know foreign languages Moreover, this Country F’s native language isn’t English It’s ” He wrinkled his brow, a bit unable to recall the complicated and awkward name

“I know what their native language is I happen to know a little bit of it” Xu asked, then raised his eyebrows, “They require you to communicate in your native language?”

In his last life, as an international student and a person who liked to travel, Xu Man’s best skill was English, but he also dabbled slightly in knowing a little bit of other countries’ languages

For fear of not knowing how much he should divulge about knowing a foreign language, he had purposely asked the Magic Mirror about studying abroad before

The Magic Mirror’s answer was that in the past six years, we had sent out a total of about fifteen hundred foreign students to as many as fifty-seven countries

That is equivalent to only two hundred people a year Each country has even fewer than that

The sending out of foreign students requires official dispatch, and individuals are not allowed to go abroad to study

Therefore, the number of people who were proficient in foreign languages during this period of time was really not that many

And country f was a small country

Xu Wen had been there before

It was a somewhat interesting country, not too big, with quite a few languages

There were so many languages in this country that different regions relied on English for communication instead

It was as if in our country, for example, if people from Sichuan communicated with people from Guangdong, if they didn’t speak Mandarin, it would be about a chicken talking to a duck, and no one would understand anyone

The vast majority of people in F speak English, which is not their native language but is more versatile than it

“Right” Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “We tossed and turned all night trying to communicate with them Two interpreters were also picked up from the command by fast ship However, the other party said that they don’t know English and only speak their mother tongue Their native language is the one with the four names

Our brigade has ordered that we are looking for someone who knows the native language of the F country I also came back to ask if you know it”

This wasn’t buying groceries in a foreign country and manipulating a half-familiar foreign language to get by with even a guess

What was involved today was the military of the two countries, and a bad translation was going to start a war

So everyone was very cautious

Xu Man also thought for a while before saying, ”Then I’ll try tomorrow! You tell me about our side’s demands first”

“Tell them to roll! Immediately right away” Lu Yuanzheng answered particularly painfully

Xu Man: “”

Xu Man sighed softly, “That’s the thing But, they wouldn’t have crashed into our island if they were planning to roll”

Lu Yuanzheng didn’t know that

It was just that such a ship licking its chops and coming over was like watching a fly flying around in front of your eyes and not being able to kill it with a fly swatter in your hand It’s really too unbearable

If only the Rainbow could have crashed into it yesterday

It would have been better if the Rainbow had crashed into it yesterday

This way they can counter blackmail f country

After all, the Rainbow itself is a decommissioned ship, and if you look closely, you can still see that it is a military ship

Unfortunately, there were no ifs

Halfway through the morning Lu Yuanzheng sighed, “You should ask them about their purpose first!”

In the morning, after breakfast, the heavily armed Lu Yuanzheng accompanied Xu Man to the f-nation warship stranded

The warship was surrounded tightly from the island to the sea

The f country people also do not force to break out, said to communicate with them out of communication, also heavily armed, but obviously do not want to take the initiative to cause trouble

As if the ship suddenly broke down and crashed into them

They looked at Xu Wen strangely, seemingly wondering why a petite woman appeared in a bunch of soldiers

This woman obviously wasn’t a soldier, she didn’t have the aura of a soldier on her, nor was she wearing a uniform

Xu Wen used the native language of country F to follow up and ask them why they were crashing into Rainbow Island

The other party obviously didn’t expect Xu Wen to speak in their native language the moment he opened his mouth

Their country’s native language was actually a small language, and if there were a hundred people in the country, at most ten of them spoke it

This was still the case in their own country, and even fewer people from other countries could speak it

The leading few froze and asked Xu asked, “Who are you?”

“An ordinary citizen of this island you hit”

“You’re beautiful!”

“Thanks for the compliment, but please answer my question”

“Our warship had some malfunctions and we need to wait for our country’s experts to repair it We can only leave after it’s repaired”

Xu Wen truthfully translated the other party’s words

Lu Yuanzheng Shi Lei’s and their faces immediately turned ugly

Xu Man noticed, but, this wasn’t the time to ask why

“What else to ask?” Xu Wen said to Lu Yuanzheng

“Ask them when their experts will come?”

Xu Man translated the words over

The leader replied, “It’s hard to say But they should come recently Please rest assured that we will definitely not take the initiative to provoke trouble”

Shi Lei snorted coldly after hearing this, “How can we cause trouble when the ship has blocked our doorstep?”

Lu Yuanzheng was a bit calmer and asked Xu to ask them, “Do you need help? We can help you send the ship back to your country”

But they declined, saying that it was a military secret and not allowed to be touched by people from other countries

While Lu Yuanzheng arranged for people to change their guards, he had people bring in stones and started building a wall directly on this side where the warship was, leaving only a firing hole

Xu Man wondered, “What’s all this trouble for?”

Shi Lei grunted coldly, “They don’t want to leave at all This is to spend a long time with us”

Since this was the case they had to establish a defense belt to repair the trenches in case of emergency

Lu Yuanzheng led Xu Man back

“They’ve crashed into our island, can’t we force them away?” Xu Man turned back frequently, his heart very much stifled

“Not really As you can see, the so-called malfunction is definitely fake It’s obvious that they’re here to touch us A forced expulsion would risk causing a war between the two countries, and would cause some trouble internationally” Lu Yuanzheng said, and after a moment of silence reluctantly added, “This battleship is too advanced, and I suspect that it is equipped with weapons that can destroy the entire Rainbow Island If we really have to fight, we can definitely kill them if we fight to the death But we’re afraid that our island will be lost”

Xu Man thought for a moment and understood Lu Yuanzheng’s concern

Rainbow Island had taken them nearly two years to build into its current state, and it would be a shame if it was directly destroyed

Of course, there was nothing to lose in the face of war

But if Rainbow Island is gone, it means that our country is destroyed

If we don’t have the means to get another Rainbow Island right away, that area of the sea will no longer be our domain

That’s the fatal problem and the one thing we won’t allow to happen

So to blast this uninvited guest away, we also have to ensure the territorial integrity of our country

“Actually ,” Lu Yuanzheng bit his back teeth and sneered, “this sea area has a complicated terrain There are various reefs all around, both bright and dark The vast majority of it has been our territory since ancient times Because these islands and reefs are too fragmented, this one and that one, we haven’t had any troops to defend them, and these neighboring countries have been playing rogue and occupying one from time to time

This not only invaded our territory, but also took the opportunity to plunder our maritime resources”

Some islands are rich in ores

Some reefs have large stocks of marine fish near them for fishermen to catch

There are many other resources to be exploited, such as oil

Now that we have begun to station troops on the islands, the neighboring countries that have seized our islands and reefs are panicking

They’re afraid we’ll take back their territory little by little

So they started to poke their heads in the sand

After sending Xu Qi home, Lu Yuanzheng took people from the back of the island to the center island

He had to report upwards on what Xu asked

As Lu Yuanzheng was busy, Xu Man had to take care of his brother and sister-in-law by himself

Although the warship that crashed into the island had caused a lot of trouble for Lu Yuanzheng and his men, it didn’t affect life on the island for the time being

Xu Man took his brother and sister-in-law for a stroll around Rainbow Island

However, his brother and sister-in-law, who had been frightened, were obviously not in the mood to stroll around

Xu Man knew that no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it wouldn’t be able to remove his brother and sister-in-law’s psychological shadow over the past two days

“Second brother, sister-in-law I beg you for something”

Xu Wen nodded, “Go ahead”

“Don’t tell your parents about this time” Xu asked, “I don’t want them to worry”

Sang Xiaoqing and Xu Wen exchanged glances

Xu Wen looked away

Sang Xiaoqing sighed softly and pulled Xu Wen’s hand, her face full of worry, “We can keep it quiet But, it’s just too dangerous here Look at how big a ship is now carrying so many enemies outside the island This is said to be fighting Ask, we really don’t feel comfortable with you staying here either Why don’t you go back home?”

Xu Wen added, “If you really don’t want to go back home, follow us to Pengcheng After a while, you can come back after the enemy has left”

Xu Wen shook his head, “I don’t want to! Don’t worry, you won’t be able to fight for a while”

Xu Wen was a bit anxious: “Why are you so stubborn? That ship is right under your noses Do you still have time to run? Look at this island! Surrounded by sea, where can you run if you are really surrounded?”

Xu Man couldn’t help but laugh, “Brother, it’s not bad that we’re an isolated island, but they’re even more of an isolated ship”

“Do you know how many soldiers they have on board? Do you know how many weapons they have? Besides, if you women and children stay on the island and really fight, won’t you cause trouble for Lu Yuanzheng and the others? They’ll have to send someone to protect you”

It wasn’t that Xu Wen hadn’t thought about this, she just thought that in the grand scheme of things, there wouldn’t be a fight
