Chapter 124 History is changing

Not far from the wooden man formation, 60 navy and army trainees are practicing standing in the military posture - watching live ammunition shooting by the way, killing two birds with one stone.Fearing that these new recruits would make a fool of themselves in front of the Dutch, the instructors were extraordinarily fierce today. They walked slowly in the queue one by one, with fierce eyes, and twirling ebony sticks and crocodile leather whips in their hands. The unlucky guy was so frightened that the sculpture just happened, so there is no need to correct his posture now.

"Who are those people standing nearby?" Nuyizi put down the binoculars that he lent him temporarily, after thinking for a while, he was still a little puzzled by the motionless people in the frame, and turned his head to ask Cai Feiming who was standing aside.

"Soldiers, soldiers in training." Cai Feiming explained.

"Wow, what a strange training method." Nuiz shrugged after hearing the explanation.

Cai Feiming glanced at him, smiled and said nothing.

Nuiz would not know that it was because of him and the Sloten that Xia Xianze began to allow the army to recruit students.That is to say, since the "intimidation body" incident, some hidden means of restricting the army have been cancelled, and the army building of the crossing crowd has just begun to get on the right track.

The effect of the exercise is unquestionable. The M2 machine gun without a flash suppressor violently sprayed out fiery red warheads. This time, Nuiz really saw the firing process of the string of brass shells.

The broken wooden man array clearly reproduced the scene that happened at the entrance of the commercial hall that day. The military personnel who could get new toys immediately did not mind asking Cai Feiming to tell the red hairs: Lao Tzu’s effective range is 1800 meters. Hit the oak hull, try it if you don't agree! .
Cai Feiming set up an ambush here, and only told the Dutch that the distance of the "M2 artillery" was 1000 meters. This has dispelled all the thoughts of the Dutch - if the army cannot approach, what's the use of having more fleets?Besides, the Dutch are not stupid. They can clearly see the tracer bullets flying far away to 1000 meters away.

The exercise was a complete success, except for a few cadets who were terrified to dodge after being splashed in the face with sawdust.This time it's not as simple as getting a cane: for those who lose the whole army, you can decide how much you can exchange for this big hat, save it and beat it slowly.

January 1628, 1, New Year's Day.

Today, the gentlemen are still busy with meetings, military training, and production. There is no festive atmosphere. The workers who are not on duty get some benefits: half a day off, and venison dishes in the cafeteria—probably because they are afraid that the workers will suffer from extremely intractable high fever. For blood pressure and diabetes, the masters usually eat red meat such as venison and pork with consideration, and leave seafood porridge, paella, seafood slate and other healthy foods for their subordinates.

Slaves were treated the same way.In fact, except for no work points, the treatment of slaves is exactly the same as that of other people.

Even in the 21st century, loggers with helicopters hoisting logs are still the occupation with the highest death rate.The slaves of the big officials faced a harsh environment far beyond that of later generations, and their task was even more terrifying: to clean up the original surface, including all grass and vines, shrubs, bamboo forests, log forests, ponds, and mud pool, wetland
Many people never survive the incubation period of malaria and die.Being penetrated from the top of the head by a tree branch, being attacked by an unknown poisonous snake, being sucked into the mud, and being avalanched by mountains and rocks. Travelers who have not pioneered in the primitive environment have no idea that there are so many strange ways of death; death from work-related injuries occurred in the early stage of the construction of the kiln area. , ranked first. It was not until the construction speed slowed down in the later stage and the labor protection of slaves was gradually strengthened that the death rate slowly decreased.

The lack of cannon fodder for the pioneers forced the people who traveled through to strengthen their protection and improve their treatment. Like today's holiday, the slaves will take half a day off and eat venison.

The Dutch didn't feel the festive atmosphere either. They were nervously packing their bags, moving the cargo into the cabin, and making preparations before the flight.The Sloten, which Nuiz was on, came to the sea off Dayuan on December 12th, and it has been a week now. The big man was lost, the contract was signed, and the cabin was filled with raw silk porcelain and Songjiang cotton cloth. It's time to return to Batavia, lest the night be long and dreamy.

Two days later, at Dayuan Wharf, the Sloten was slowly setting sail.The bow of the ship was full of Dutch sailors at the moment, they were whistling and waving their arms, and some former captives were loudly cursing the heretics who tortured them to die, in short, it was very lively.

The ones who saw off on the trestle were naturally the Minister of External Relations Cai Feiming and his assistant; the walking group of four will go with Nuyz this trip. They still have important tasks to complete in Batavia and stay in the The liaison officer for the senior staff is a low-level businessman named Mao Zheer.

It is worth mentioning that Pastor Candideus, who was captured from the indigenous village some time ago, is also on board the Sloten today.After he was captured and returned, he has been in charge of educating the slaves in the Japanese village, and the cross-travelers did not deliberately embarrass him.Just before boarding the boat today, while drinking the farewell wine, Cai Feiming went out to find Pastor Gan and invited him to drink a glass of different light wine.

Seeing these hypocritical, shrewd, cunning, and cruel colonists gradually go away, Cai Feiming couldn't help feeling a little melancholy at the moment: Mr. Nuyzi's fate has been completely changed. In the future, he will not be kidnapped by the Japanese, nor will he be detained by his master in shame Even if he goes back to Japan and sits in prison, his son will not die in prison because of dysentery.

History has changed, and the fate of many people has become blurred because of this, and the greatest advantage of the traversing crowd is slowly losing.

Of course, losing the advantage does not mean sitting still. On the contrary, the powerful traversing regime is actively intervening in history, trying to flap the wings of butterflies and seize their own historical initiative.

In terms of the relationship between the Netherlands and Japan, the traversers have made some attempts to change the history according to their own deduction: through the right to trade raw silk to influence the decision-making of the shogunate, the traversers are trying to let the Japanese come forward to completely block the trade between Japan and the Netherlands.

"Is the book sold on time, or is the plan changed, and we roll up our sleeves and do it ourselves? The choice of history is really exciting." Cai Feiming, with his hands behind his back, bowed his head on the quiet trestle, and walked slowly towards the shop .

No matter how history changes, the strength of one's own strength is the best response.The cross-travelers knew this very well, so Hong Mao left, and the long-awaited weapon fell from the sky, and was thrown in the center of the business hall by the chairman's "biu".

At this moment, the colleagues of the Army and Navy no longer have any barriers. They all worked together and chanted to lift the pedestal weighing 1 tons out of the transfer box, and then put it exactly 2.8 meters long, as if it was born to pass through. After the designed gun barrel was pulled out and installed, the 40mm anti-aircraft gun authorized by the Swedish Bofors company and manufactured by the Italian company Otto Melara stood mighty in the middle of the field.

Yes, this is an Italian descendant of the Swedish Bofors anti-aircraft gun, which was popular in World War II and is known as the "Important Anti-aircraft Gun". Both the enemy and the friend are imitated.
