Chapter 1179: Mount the island

"Then you can start," the captain said.

Then the machine gun on the airship fired frantically at the woods. In the end, the captain thought that there was no important goal, and finally gave up. In fact, among these woods. Avoiding some Qiangs, after they endured the blind blast of machine guns, they escaped by chance. For them they are lucky.

In the south, the luck of Korean warships is not bad.

"The weather is still so bad, it doesn't rain, but we can't keep wandering in the sea like this." The captain looked at the sky and said.

"The weather has not rained heavily, is this not a good thing?" the first officer said worriedly.

And the captain just looked at the sky. Say nothing.

"How long have we been sailing?" the captain asked.

"It's been more than three days," the first officer replied.

"We probably passed by." The captain said to himself in a low voice. The first officer did not hear anything from the captain.

The captain knew in his heart that now they had to make a choice. According to the nautical map provided by the person above them, they can discover the island in three days at most, and the island is very large. They will soon discover the long coastline. However, the problem now is that they sailed eastward at sea for about three days and they didn't find any long coastline and no land was found. They only found some small islands. These small islands simply cannot meet their mooring requirements, and even if they remain moored, they will not be able to receive effective supplies.

The captain just marked the islands. Then there is no following. he knows. They may have missed where they were looking for that island. And there is the fastest situation. They will drift in the sea for a long time and get nothing.

The captain himself didn't know whether to move on. Still turn around and return to the coast. It would be very dangerous to proceed like this.

"Huh." Thinking of this, the captain couldn't make an accurate judgment.

"Take the nautical chart." The captain said at this time.

"Yes, Captain." A sailor took the chart. At this time, the captain took the compass to conduct a careful study, but there was an unknown sea in front of him.

In fact, the island they were looking for was the island of Taiwan today. The Korean businessman accidentally discovered the island, but the voyage records were not very detailed, and the voyage log records went through various harsh environments. The reference that can be provided is also very limited. It's the same everywhere in the vast sea. There is no clear reference standard. Under such circumstances, being able to find that very huge island is like finding a needle in a haystack. But the South Koreans are looking forward to the outside world with hope. Their search is very adventurous.

The sea is no better than land. There are also transportation lines to find on land. After all, things like mountains and rivers can be found. The sea does not have such a very obvious reference.

"We sailed east for three days and three nights." The captain looked at the navigation map. These places are for him. Just unknown. Everything is unknown.

In fact, they sailed east prematurely. They should sail along the coast for quite some time, and then go east again. It is very likely that they will be able to discover the island of Taiwan they want to discover. However, shortly after they went to sea, they quickly turned to the east. As a result, they turned east prematurely, causing them to miss what they were looking for.

At the same time, in order to avoid bad weather when they sailed east. It is impossible to sail south. At this time, the typhoon center happened to be near the island they were looking for. It happened to be bad weather there. They can't boldly move in that direction. They are trying their best to avoid the bad weather. Based on his own experience, the captain misjudged them and allowed them to continue sailing east for a long time.

"We found nothing. Bad. Too bad." The captain said while looking at the nautical map. The places sailing ahead were all unknown areas, and the captain realized that the situation was not good at this time.

"There seems to be an island ahead." Just when the captain realized it was not good. When planning to take some measures. Good news came from the lookout post.

"There seems to be an island ahead, and that island seems to be very big." A sailor on the lookout shouted loudly.

"What?" The captain was stunned. He was simply unimaginable.

"There are islands," the captain cried out in surprise.

"It's an island. It's an island. A big island." The sailor shouted. then. Describe everything he sees in words he can use.

"Thank God." This time. The captain thanked God for his pity. A stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"I'll take a look." The captain picked up his telescope anxiously at this time, and Fei also climbed up to the lookout post.

"The island is in that direction." The captain asked anxiously.

"Ahead. Just ahead. Look. In that direction." At this time, the sailor instructed the captain to see.

"Let me see." The captain said as he picked up his binoculars to check the situation in the distance.

An island appeared in his telescope. He saw everything he saw in his binoculars. The side of the island is out of sight. Where the sea disappeared, the coastlines of some islands were exposed.

"Is this the island in question?" The captain asked suspiciously at this time.

The captain didn't know how to describe his feelings at this time.

"Captain, shall we land?" This time. The sailor asked.

"Captain. Captain." At this time, the sailor slightly moved the captain who was lost in thought.

"Oh. What?" the captain asked at this time.

"Are we landing?" the sailor asked.

"Landing. We must land." The captain said at this time.

"Let the people below prepare. We are ready to land." The captain issued an order at this time. The captain then picked up the binoculars and looked at the island. The ship is slowly approaching. And that island has become more and more clear. The captain was also able to see the true view of the island in the telescope.

"Land. Land." a sailor shouted loudly. And this time. The sailors on the ship got busy nervously.

The ship was quickly approaching the island, and the captain calmed his mind at this time. Then accept this fact steadily.

"I will put the warship as close to the coastline as possible to provide you with fire support. You take twenty people up there. See what's going on. Then. We will send more people to take a look." The captain said at this time. .

"Your task is very clear, that is, to check the local situation, whether there are people, and to establish a solid line of defense. We need to stop here today. After the weather is good, we need to measure the specific location here, and then according to This position is written into our logbook." The captain told the chief mate as much as possible of everything that happened, and the chief mate will lead his own people to quickly board the island.

"Okay. I see. Captain." The first officer agreed as much as possible. And his men are preparing nervously. The muzzle was pushed out one after another. All the muzzles are aligned in the direction of the coastline. The island on the lush greenery. It shows the vitality he deserves, but behind that vitality, what is hidden? No one knows. They are very clear. There are unknowns in front of them.

"We will meet more people who resist. They will take their blow arrows and other weapons, and they will kill us." A young sailor said with some fear and concern.

"We have guns in our hands, don't worry." An old sailor said at this time.

Talking. The old sailor leaned the gun in his hand.

Seeing this kind of sailor. At this time, he also subconsciously leaned against the flintlock in his hand. Now only weapons can make these sailors who are close to the unknown island have some guts.

"Hurry up and draw. We are about to go ashore." The chief officer shouted at this time looking at the approaching island. His cry was full of excitement. At the same time, it is full of unknowns. At this time, everyone was approaching in a tense atmosphere.

"Rush, let's rush." ​​This time. The first officer is holding a flintlock rifle. Shouted loudly. Then jump off the boat, after jumping into the sea. Quickly climbed onto the coast.

"Wow!" At the back, the rest of the sailors jumped into the water one after another, and then took their weapons onto the coast.

"Pay attention to the surrounding situation." The first officer shouted nervously. He quickly landed on the coast. There is nothing on the coast. In the depths of the coast, there are woods. Dense shrubs. And other things. These things are unknown to him.

"Look around, there is nothing there, right?" The first officer looked at the surroundings nervously at this moment.

"Nothing." The sailor behind shouted loudly.

"There is no situation here either." The sailors nervously took the flintlocks in their hands and looked at the surroundings and said.

In the battleship, the captain was nervously holding a telescope to check the situation.

"Huh." When I heard everything said that there was no one. The first officer was greatly relieved. The other sailors also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. They relaxed in the tense atmosphere just now.

"Someone." Just when everyone relaxes. A sailor shouted loudly.

"Wow." Everyone nervously picked up the flintlock again.

"Don't shoot." The first mate who saw the situation first saw the bushes walking out of the bushes and they were very low. And the thin, dark-skinned people come. That person is mostly naked. There are only a few branches or coverings made of other animal skins.

"It's a Yueren." The first officer watched the man approaching nervously at this time.
