Chapter 490 The big man has not recovered, why should he be a family?
The main firepower system of the battleship is the two cannons at the bow and the stern. The base structure of the cannons is very delicate. Unlike Da Zhou's fixed naval guns, both of their cannons can be rotated!
Although the revolving cannon has greatly improved the combat effectiveness, but because the base is not fixed, the caliber of the cannon is relatively small and its power is relatively weak.
Most of their warships are in the shape of animals, some are like horses, some are like crocodiles, some are like elephants, some are like dragons, and some are like ducks...
There is a statue of a strange big bird standing on the bow of some warships. I don't know what the meaning of the bird is?
Wu Hanming introduced that the name of this kind of big bird is Jialouluo. It is a kind of divine bird in Myanmar myths and legends. It is a bit similar to our Chinese phoenix or roc. This kind of bird can catch dragons in the water as food.
To put it bluntly, it is to use the power of Garuda to deter the dragons and snakes in the sea, so that they will not dare to stir up storms and waves in the sea...
There are also statues of human faces on the bow, which looks fierce, but I don't know which side is sacred?
Wu Hanming said that this is really a god, the god of thunder in Burma, called Saka, no wonder his image is exactly like Monkey King, because as we all know, the most prominent facial feature of Monkey King is the face of Thunder God...
Xiao Chen patrolled around on the deck, and suddenly heard a sharp mooing sound from the cabin, he couldn't help being startled, what, it doesn't sound like a cow either?
I never thought it was an elephant...
I know that you have elephant soldiers in Myanmar, but what do you mean by bringing them on board? Can you still ride an elephant to charge at sea?
In fact, carrying elephants in naval battles is an ancient tradition of the Myanmar Navy, because elephants are very powerful and a symbol of strength and invincibility.
There is a word called the power of dragon and elephant, which means that the strength of an elephant is enough to compete with a dragon.
In addition, the elephant is very heavy, and it can be used as a ballast when placed on the bottom of the cabin, and it can maintain a certain stability in the wind and waves.
There are also elephants who are good swimmers. A well-trained elephant can swim in the sea for several hours, and the speed is quite fast.
It really happened before that there was a sea battle riding an elephant. After a battleship carrying an elephant was sunk, a few brave sailors found a drifting elephant on the sea, and rode straight to it. The enemy's warship rushed away. It is said that the enemy was quite shocked when they saw this scene...
Just as shocked as Xiao Chen.
But since it is a tradition of others, he is naturally not good at interfering, and of course he will not point at these elephant sea battles, and it would be quite novel to bring them back as gifts.
The thousands of soldiers on the battleship are also hardcover men selected by Wu Hanming himself. Most of these people are Chinese descendants, some have fled here a few years ago, and some have lived in Myanmar for several generations.
They all followed Wu Hanming voluntarily. First, they were under his command, and second, they were all willing to fight for Huaxia.
The ten freighters were all loaded with food and various military supplies, including materials used for ship repairs, canvas, bamboo poles, wood, ropes, asphalt, lime, a mixture of sesame oil and fish oil, and a lot of silk and hemp.
There are even more than one hundred skilled shipwrights, blacksmiths, carpenters, carpenters, drillers, caulkers, cleaners...
The Burmese king is still very interesting, Xiao Chen has received a big favor from him this time, because the Burmese king almost gave him a fleet that is completely his own!
The warship has already been agreed to be given away for nothing, but these soldiers, Xiao Chen, do not intend to return it...it is impossible to return it.
In the future, it will be enough to give King Myanmar a little more compensation.
This is really a big surprise, even if the negotiations with the pirates fail, the trip is worthwhile.
Everything is ready to go now!
Standing on the bow of his flagship, Xiao Chen looked back at the sunset like blood, feeling boundless in his heart, isn't it?
Because his dream is to have the most powerful navy in the world, and now the dream has begun...
"Master Xiao, are you sure you want to cooperate with those pirates?" Wu Hanming on the side still couldn't believe that Xiao Chen wanted to do this.
"Don't call me Mr. Xiao, call me boss." Xiao Chen patted Wu Hanming's shoulder affectionately, "We will be brothers from now on, so don't restrain yourself, Hanming."
"Yes, boss." Wu Hanming said, "But those pirates..."
"Han Ming, pirates are not important, what is important is you, you can follow me from now on, okay?" Xiao Chen interrupted him.
"Xiao... Boss, have you forgotten that I am a soldier of the Great Han? I would rather die than surrender to the Great Zhou. This time I will fight with the boss in the name of the Huaxia people, but it has nothing to do with the Great Zhou." Wu Hamming said.
"But Hamming, have you ever thought about it? If we capture Shunfeng Harbor in this battle, what will happen if the Ross people make a comeback in the future? What if the Dongying people who are eyeing tigers take advantage of it? Don't you just ignore it? ? You are a soldier of the Han Dynasty, but you are also a Chinese, a native of Yanyun County, shouldn't you protect your hometown with all your strength?"
"I think you are a smart man. The reason why the king of Burma asked you to come with me is obviously because he has doubts about you. After all, you will not have a bright future if you stay in Burma... Besides, you are working hard for the Burmese people. How about killing us Chinese people? Even if you die in battle, your bones will still be buried in the land of China."
Wu Hanming was silent.
"General Wu, I think what Xiao Chen said makes sense. As a businessman, you have to make money for your country, and as a soldier, you have to fight for your country, right?" Wilson interjected, he was very smart, In just a few months, I have learned a little simple Chinese dialect, but the accent is very weird.
But the interesting thing is that Wu Hanming can also speak English, because Maro Port is an international port, and the Bay of Bengal is also a very busy waterway, with cargo ships from the West passing by every day. As a naval officer, he is not allowed to learn English. Although the words are not very good, but simple communication is still no problem.
"Han Ming, even if you are not thinking about yourself, you should also think about your children. Do you want them to live in Myanmar for generations and never return to our hometown of China?" Xiao Chen continued to persuade.
"I haven't married yet, where did I get my children?" Wu Hanming asked.
"How old are you and haven't married yet?" Xiao Chen was very surprised.
"The big man has not recovered, so what is the family?" Wu Hanming said.
"Boss, I think Hanming is very stubborn, it's hard to convince him to follow us, or else..." Fu Yan looked at Wu Hanming with malicious intent.
Wu Hanming was startled, why are you going to kill me just because I refuse to join Da Zhou?
No way, I am going to help you fight the war!
It's not yet the time when the rabbit is dead and the dog is dead, okay?
"Just kill him?" Tie Kunlun said with a smile.
"No, the boss likes him very much, so he must be reluctant to kill him." Fu Yan shook his head.
"Then what should we do?" Tie Kunlun asked.
"Then just rebel." Fu Yan sighed, "Who made me like Han Ming very much?"
