Chapter 318: Recruiting_1
That was because Wang haiting had drone surveillance on all the important people in Linghai Academy. He had people following them 24 hours a day. Because of the drone’s tracking, even if these people were not weak, they could not find the stalker. Therefore, the hummingbird drone was Tang Wen’s trump card and he would never take it out. “I didn’t expect Wei yang to be the spy of Linghai Academy in the military office.” Wen Jinyuan said as he looked at the video. “This plan of theirs is too sinister. Once it succeeds, we will all be buried on this White Crane Island.” Chu Zhao said. “Hehehe, I think this White Crane Island is not bad. It’s so big, it’ll be the sixth Island of my Tang family after some tidying up.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “According to our investigation, White Crane Island has a large amount of saltpeter that can be used to make gunpowder. This subordinate just led some men to patrol the island and found some simple tools for making gunpowder. They were probably left behind by the Pirates. ” Wang haiting said. “That’s great. Our gunpowder factory will be here. ” Tang Wen said. “However, the mechanical equipment is placed on heavenly Rock Island.” Wen Jinyuan said. “Ship it over. Arrange for it immediately. Tell Zhan dongwen to bring the cargo ship over.” Tang Wen said. “There is no electricity on White Crane Island, so even if we transport it here, we can’t carry it out.” Wen Jin Yuan said. “Just bring a few generators here first. I’ll go to the West to get some more wind turbines later.” Tang Wen said. “We’ll have to wait until the Imperial court grants you White Crane Island. Otherwise, we’ll have worked for nothing if they don’t hand it over. ” Wen Jin Yuan said. “I believe that the Linghai Academy will get what they want. Let’s just wait and see. In at least five days, at most half a month, this Island will be mine.” Tang Wen sneered. “We have to quickly build the fortifications to prevent the sun nation from retaliating.” Wen Jin Yuan said. “Of course, we have to do it immediately. However, don’t worry, I brought back a large number of black – robed cannons from the West. It would not be easy for them to attack the island if they spread them out. Besides, we’ve killed thousands of the sun nation’s men at once, and they’ve suffered heavy losses as well. It won’t be too fast to organize a counterattack all of a sudden. If we really can’t hold on, we’ll break out. I believe it won’t be easy for them to stop our ship from breaking out. In addition, transfer three thousand men from somi. Once a war broke out, this group of people would be stationed on White Crane Island for a long time. In addition, load the three cargo ships he just bought with the black cannons. If the battle gets intense, these two ships will have to join in. ” Tang Wen said. “Master, others say that White Crane Island is a deserted island, but I don’t think so.” Wang haiting said. “Did you find something?” Tang Wen asked. “There are many traces of people living here, and there are also some broken houses. There was even cultivated land with vegetables. However, the strange thing is, where did these people go? could they have all been killed by the sun nation?” Wang haiting said. “Do a thorough search.” Tang Wen gave the order, and Wang haiting immediately organized a search on the island. White Crane Island was about the same size as Black Rock Island. It was about three thousand hectares and was not small. There were canyons, rivers, tall mountains, and deep creeks on the island. It would not be easy to search the entire Island. Of course, Wang haiting was now mainly organizing people to launch ten drones to search the entire Island. On Tang Wen’s side, he also organized people to build forts, each with a mobile plank house. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were complete inside, but the soldiers all had to sleep on the shared bed, making it convenient for the Tang Army to live. As for the stones used to build the battery, of course, they used local materials. The cement was transported from the Black Rock Island. The rumbling sound of the stone explosion rang out. The next step was to use tools to simply repair the large gravel. The sun nation’s cannons could only reach five to six miles, while their own could reach ten miles. Therefore, as long as they discovered an enemy ship, they could start to kill it when it was out of the range of their black – clad cannons. The black – clad cannon equipped with an infrared sight was much more advanced than the sun nation ‘s, and its accuracy was also several times higher. It could aim and hit anything even at night. As such, it would be difficult for the sun nation’s warships to get close. Even if a few ships managed to break through the blockade of cannonballs, they had the advantage of the main island and could easily take care of them. In the afternoon, the freighter delivered cement, generators, barbed wire, a batch of mobile planks, diamond repair tools, food, and other things. A few thousand tons of supplies had arrived, and the three thousand newly transferred troops had also arrived. More than three hundred cannons surrounded White Crane Island, and Tang Wen’s confidence was greatly boosted. With 8,000 men transferred away, the four islands of sumei became nervous. Naturally, the defense was much weaker. It would be troublesome if the sun nation’s enemies attacked. Therefore, even the women and young men took the place of the temporary logistics team. The next morning, good news came from Wang haiting. The old man jumped into Tang Wen’s mobile temporary house. “Master, we found them.” “Who is it?” Tang Wen asked. “A lot of people, so many people. There are probably more than 10000 people.” Wang haiting handed over the video recorded by the drone. Mei niansu quickly turned on the computer and inserted the USB. Soon, the video was out. It was an extremely remote corner of the island. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and a few figures appeared in a primitive forest. Not long after, the drone followed these figures and discovered a hole under the cover of the towering ancient trees. The drone flew into the hole. It was a big hole. There were a few thousand people inside, and the drone flew elsewhere. At the same time, it found many caves with one to two thousand people inside. There were chairs and tables in the largest cave. A middle – aged man with a round face and tight black armor was sitting on the chair. He was wearing a purple cloak. “Everyone, please calm down and listen to Island Lord he’s speech.” At this time, The Thin Man standing next to the big round – faced man clapped his hands. Suddenly, thousands of people settled down and sat on the ground to look at the two of them. “Everyone! Even though we’re from all over the world. However, we’ve been living on White Crane Island for more than ten years. Everyone, believe me, he Tian. We’ve chased away a few groups of Pirates before. However, it was different this time. It was a large – scale attack by the sun nation’s thieves. Although we can deal with a small group of Pirates, we’re powerless against them. Houses can be rebuilt if they’re gone, cultivated land can be rebuilt if it’s destroyed, we have to survive first. Therefore, he must not go out. Once they find us, we’ll die without a burial place. ” Island Lord he said. “Therefore, the island master didn’t even send out spies this time. I’m just afraid that the enemy will find us and track us down. We’ll be finished then. ” The thin – faced man said. “Private advisor Zhou, are we absolutely safe here?” Someone asked. “I can’t say for sure, but Island master he and I found this place to be quite hidden. They are not familiar with the situation of White Crane Island, so it is quite difficult to find this place. Therefore, he was not allowed to leave the cave. We’ve only arranged a few hidden sentries outside the cave. Just now, the hidden Sentry on the mountain peak had sent news that the Imperial court seemed to have sent reinforcements over and they were fighting the sun nation’s enemies. The battle situation was quite intense, and he wondered what was going on. It seems that some of the Imperial court’s men have been surrounded by the sun nation on the island. ” Private advisor Zhou said. “The Imperial court isn’t a good person either. If we’re discovered by them now, we’ll definitely be captured and become soldiers. At that time, we’ll be the scapegoats. ” A tall man stood up and said. “You’re right, Luo kun. So, no matter who they are, we have to ignore them. None of them are good people. If the sun nation were to discover this, they would definitely be killed. But on the other hand, if we are discovered by the soldiers sent back by the Imperial court, we will definitely be captured to become soldiers or odd – Job workers. At that time, all the food we’ve been hiding will be taken away by them. If the sun nation attacks the island, we’ll definitely be at the forefront. That’ll be suicide. ” Private advisor Zhou nodded. “So, if you want to live, you have to follow the rules and absolutely can not go out! Whoever dares to step out of this hole will be killed on the spot!” He Tian slapped the handle of his chair and stood up. With a murderous look on his face, he surveyed the crowd. “What if they keep surrounding us? The food we brought won’t last more than two days. ” Someone asked. “From now on, we’ll give each person a punch of food a day. If he really wasn’t full, he would mix it with white mud and water to eat. This way, he would be able to fill his stomach. I’ve already sent people to dig up a lot of white mud and cut some tender grass. You can also mix it with the grain and move it into the cave later. ” He Tian said. “It’s over. My family’s cattle and sheep will definitely be caught and eaten by them.” “Yes, I ran away in a hurry. I still have a few bags of food at home.” “Every family has some food left behind, but we have no choice. They came in a hurry, and we can’t take all of it away in a short time. We can only let them have it.” Master Zhou said. …… “That’s a good thing. ” After watching the video, Tang Wen smiled. “Old master wants to recruit them into the Army as a team training? We’re short of people now, so it’s just right. ” Wen Jinyuan said. “I can either recruit or buy.” Tang Wen said. “I’m just afraid that they won’t agree. At that time, it’ll be troublesome to fight against us with more than ten thousand people. ” Ximen taigao said. “If you don’t agree, then kill him for disobeying the Imperial court’s orders! I don’t believe that they’re not afraid of death. Of course, I’ll go over and chat with them before that. ” Tang Wen said coldly. “They also have some fire Gu in their hands, master should be careful.” Mei niansu said. “Don’t worry, I’ll let them understand the stakes. However, don’t go for the time being. Let them starve for a few more days and hold back for a few more days. At that time, they will collapse, and we will be their saviors if we go over. ” Tang Wen waved his hand. “Chu Cong, where have you been all this time? you must be drunk again. For a woman, you get drunk every day. Is it worth it? Are you still my son?” In ocean Saint City, in the mansion of the ocean Saint Duke, Chu Cong had just entered and was immediately scolded by his father, the ocean Saint Duke Chu Guang. The highest official in ocean Saint City was the ocean Saint King, but below him was one of the eight Dukes. The Duke had always held an extraordinary importance in the Imperial court. He was above the Marquis and slightly inferior to the king. In fact, some Dukes who held real power even had more power than an ordinary Commandery Prince. The stability of the country had a lot to do with these Dukes, and the royal family was their own. However, the Dukes were the pillars of the country, so the Kings valued them very much. “Father, I’m going to the South.” “Yes,” Chu Guang replied,”I have some things to tell you.” “Kid ... You seem to still be awake.” Chu Guang stretched out his hand and blew in front of Chu Cong, looking at him in surprise. “It’s true!” Chu Cong said with a serious face. “Then ... Let’s talk in the study room.” Chu Guang took another look at his son and went upstairs. Of course, Chu Cong followed behind him carefully. This was because her father had always been strict. Ever since he was young, Chu Cong had been beaten up a lot.
