Chapter 387: Can only attract some firepower
"But we're also in danger. If Old Sheep's side is exposed, we'll have to bear the pressure. If that side isn't exposed, we have to at least lead the fleet past Colusa. By the time they realize something's wrong and turn around to chase them, it will be too late."
Yang Yang's plan is to take away the supplies of 23 cargo ships at one time, which amount to millions of tons of goods, which is directly two-thirds of the food supplies of the two forces. As for the slaves, oil and other mineral resources in the cargo ships, they are more important to China than the basic need for food.
Millions of tons of supplies can feed 10,000 Chinese people for half a year, and if they are frugal, they can still feed them for a year. It can be said that this vote can solve China's current life and death issues.
Of course, they don't have the ability to take all the supplies away now. You know, Yang Yang has pinched the opponent's sore spot and left a part of the supplies for the opponent. If all the supplies were taken away, it is estimated that the two forces would have to chase them to the ends of the earth to recover these supplies. But now there are only about 20 cargo ships of supplies left, and they have to keep these supplies safe, so they are inevitably restricted.
Fa Ge looked at his watch and said, "We're almost in Colusa, so cheer up!"
Everyone was quite nervous. After all, this battle meant whether their first mission in the United States could be successful. Lingling kept wiping the sniper rifle and adjusting the night vision goggles. Ah Huang sat on the ground anxiously. Monkey carefully maintained his weapon, and Tank did push-ups.
Only Jingshu was squatting in the corner practicing Rubik's Cube with a very inconspicuous look. She had only been in the United States for more than ten days, and her space was about to be full. She had to upgrade quickly and get more supplies. After all, in the future, even in the United States, a country with a lot of resources, countless people would starve to death every day.
The captain maneuvered the cargo ship to slowly distance itself from the ship in front. Due to the limited width of the canal, only one cargo ship could pass through at a time, so it only needed to follow the cargo ship in front.
Arrived in Colusa!
Everyone stood up and looked nervously at the cargo ships in front of them. The cargo ships moved forward slowly. The cargo ship in front was getting farther and farther away, and finally sailed out of the fork canal mouth, while the captain continued to drive the ship forward!
Jingshu's heart was pounding. From here on, the fleet behind them would go to Austin to seek refuge, while Yang Yang led 23 ships successfully towards Williams. As long as they were not discovered during this period of time, someone would pick them up when they arrived there!
"Great, we've succeeded in the first step." Fa Ge took a deep breath. "These foreigners are always driving automatic to avoid being lazy, and they just follow the previous cargo ship to finish. If nothing unexpected happens, no one will notice us reaching Austin."
Of course, this is based on the assumption that nothing unexpected happens.
Cargo ships No. 1-23 successfully sailed to Williams, and cargo ship No. 24 also successfully led the following cargo ships to continue to sail to the original planned destination. The nobles were still very busy at this moment. As the boss of the slave kingdom, he also summoned more than 200 nobles to prepare for a party. The purpose was to plan and arrange the next trip to Austin, and more importantly, the distribution of supplies.
However, two nobles died tragically in the aristocratic district, causing chaos. Whether it was a deliberate murder or fratricide remains to be investigated. Of course, the property of these two people has caused a series of disputes. Paige's brother George said that she would inherit all of her sister's property, but the noble groups in the underground black market have long been fixed, and the property of any one person will be divided up by the noble groups.
But before they could even come to a conclusion, they discovered that all of Page's valuables had been taken, leaving only some wine and some broken jewelry. Even the diamond, known as the 'energy stone', was gone. Everyone's focus was now on the murderer, and the two bodyguards at the door were inexplicably dragged into this vortex...
As the cargo ship slowly moved along, Jingshu's heart slowly relaxed. Who else but them would do such a daring and stealthy act? Neither the captain nor the crew could have imagined that, with no pirates shouting and everything peaceful, someone would directly split a fleet of cargo ships in half.
Everyone's thinking is very simple, and it is also the common practice in this industry. Just follow the ship in front. The ship in front will not go the wrong way. The ship in front must know the way. Even if it goes the wrong way, it is the responsibility of the ship in front.
In one marathon, the first runner ran the wrong way, which caused all the others who followed him to
Everyone ran the wrong way and only realized it when they reached the finish line...but only one person ran the right way and won first place...
Therefore, the herd mentality is not only found in China. In the general environment, people tend to ignore many things.
However, just when everyone was slowly breathing a sigh of relief.
"Number 23 calling number 24, number 24 calling number 24, why can't I see your ship?"
At this time, the voice of No. 23 came from the ship's intercom. The biggest disadvantage of these ships is the Internet intercom, so probably no one would have thought that they were no longer on the same route.
After Xiao Hei quietly translated it, everyone looked at Fa Ge. Whether he would be exposed or discovered or conceal the truth depended on how Fa Ge performed.
Fa Ge cleared his throat and said, "Oh damn, I didn't expect to be discovered. Okay, I admit that I am responsible for this. The slaves on Ship 24, ****, someone has damaged the bottom of the ship. I have to slow down for a while, curb these damn slaves, and repair the ship."
"Haha, brother, you're going to be charged. Good luck. We're leaving first."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and in order to make this excuse, Jingshu and her companions actually had to make their fake play real and secretly executed all the dozen or so crew members on the cargo ship.
"Number 23 calling number 24, haven't you guys caught up yet? Why are we getting further and further away? Oh my god, I feel like the road today isn't right. Who turned on the navigation?"
"Oh my God, this is not the way to Austin, damn, what's going on?" Before he could finish his words, the intercom went silent. The other captains seemed to react and started to check what was going on.
"It's going to be exposed." Fa Ge smoked a cigarette and blew out smoke rings.
Tank frowned, "So what? What do we do?"
"We can only use you to buy them time and draw some firepower." Fa Ge pulled the red alarm. In an instant, the shrill alarm sounded throughout the canal. "Oh damn, ship 24 has been hijacked! Help! Pirates have boarded and hijacked ship 24!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fa Ge directed and acted out the action and started the ship at the fastest speed. The cargo ship was like a racing car in his hands. After a buzzing sound, the cargo ship ran away.
I almost said: Come on, direct all your firepower at me.
