MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 93 target kolkata

"Take back your meaningless order, Uncle Friedrich. We don't need these animals to prove our strength." Franz said as he walked to the toolbox and picked up an iron bucket and a shovel. I tied a rope around my waist, and then went straight to the side of the boat. Seeing him eager to try, the bystanders around him felt very strange and puzzled. Dayan Shanyin seemed to have thought of something, but felt that it was too ridiculous and gave up. Just when she was in a daze, he jumped out. In fact, this was Franz's dream in his previous life. Jumping over the side of the boat, he landed just on the back of the whale. Of course, this strange intruder is like an ant to this huge baleen whale. It doesn't mind the visit of this uninvited guest. On the contrary, it deliberately slows down to avoid throwing people out. His behavior caused a lot of exclamation, and the people on the ship desperately shouted to pull him back, but they were sternly refused. Afterwards, Franz's actions made everyone's hearts beat even faster. He picked up the shovel and began to smash the sea monster's forehead. Everyone thought Franz was crazy, he actually wanted to kill such a huge ancient monster with a shovel. However, the attacked whale did not launch a counterattack, or try to shake off the tiny human, but made a strange cry. Franz was actually shoveling barnacles, a common parasite on large baleen whales. The reason why they jumped out of the water frequently and frantically before was to get rid of these burdens. Given how firmly glued the barnacles are, the whales' efforts were doomed to futility. There is only one final outcome of being parasitized by barnacles, and that is death, but before that, they will experience a long period of pain. Barnacle damage is deadly to whales, as it is to ships, but is a delicacy for foodies who will enjoy it. The archduke's weird behavior aroused the great curiosity of the entire fleet members. After seeing it with their own eyes, it was hard for them to believe that there were such "crazy" people in the world. They witnessed his agility as if walking on flat ground, jumping nimbly from the back of one whale to the back of the other, which aroused the exclamation of the onlookers. These gentle sea monsters did not attack this tiny visitor from the beginning to the end, but instead circled around him. Franz also sent barrel after barrel of barnacles to the boat by rope until the cleanup was complete. He put the shovel back into the bucket, sat on the giant whale and slowly moved forward with the waves, feeling much better. The surrounding battleships had already quieted down at this time, and the officers and soldiers were like riding a roller coaster. From the initial panic, to the subsequent amazement, there was only silence left in the end, leaving endless emotions. It turns out that there are really people in this world who are different. At this time, the leading female whale suddenly let out a mournful cry, and then the whole group became restless, and they desperately wanted to drive this "little friend" away. The way to do it is to spray water on him continuously. Although this seems to be a very interesting game in the eyes of others, he can feel the uneasiness of the whole whale group. Franz returned to the boat, Friedrich didn't know how to communicate with his nephew, he could only talk. "Are you a monster?" "Of course not, but we don't have time to discuss this anymore. There seems to be some bad omen ahead." Franz said. "Could it be a sea monster? Don't worry, with our strong ship and sharp guns, even the North Sea monster can do nothing to me?" Friedrich's subjective consciousness told him that a monster was coming, which made this man The passionate commander was a little chattering. To be honest, Franz really didn't know what in the sea could scare these behemoths. After all, theoretically speaking, adult large baleen whales should have no natural enemies. Of course, this is only a judgment based on common sense in later generations. Suddenly a group of whales swam in front of the Venice and tried to steer the giant ship in another direction. "It's unbelievable! What the **** are your beastly friends doing?" asked Friedrich. "I don't know. Is there some natural miracle ahead?" Franz asked rhetorically. "It's Calcutta!" Dayan Shanyin said excitedly while holding the map carefully. At this time, she had completely regarded Franz as a "god" or some kind of supernatural existence. Suddenly, a large number of seabirds flew from the southwest and passed above the fleet. And the surface of the sea was also bustling, with a large number of schools of fish crazily surging towards the east, and they all jumped out of the water to beat the waves. "What's going on here!" Friedrich couldn't help muttering in his heart due to the weird natural phenomenon. But changing direction now means not being able to arrive in Mumbai on time, which will delay the trip. "I think it's safer to follow the guidance of the whale." At this time, Franz's words seemed to have magic power, and the sailors and officers on the ship passed Friedrich, the captain and commander in chief, for the first time action. "Well, it seems that we were kidnapped by this **** group of whales!" Friedrich complained. After all, he felt that his authority had been challenged, and he always wanted to get some face back. "Uncle Friedrich, maybe you will appreciate them later. Even if nothing happens, it doesn't matter, let's take it as a close contact with the ocean and nature." At this time, Calcutta is the United Kingdom The central area that ruled India, serving as both a political and economic center, was the largest port in the eastern part of the vast British South Asian colony at this time and the entire hemp textile industry center. Its urban population was once close to 400,000. Facing the increasing demand, the British started their own ambitious plan. They planned to build a direct railway to Peshawar and a telegraph center connecting the Indian subcontinent here. In addition, this city in the Ganges Delta in eastern India is also the largest opium trade center in Asia and even in the world. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com There are still nearly 400 Chinese living in this city. They are either tea farmers who were deceived or opium merchants who came here for trade. After several hours of sailing, the whales acting as "navigators" led Franz and his party to Calcutta. These clever creatures that completed the task uttered a cry as if saying goodbye to people, and then quickly dived into the sea and disappeared without a trace. "Looks like we're going to be robbed twice by the British, which is really unpleasant." Friedrich laughed at himself, still brooding over the fact that he was going to land in Calcutta. In fact, after leaving Malacca, based on the amount of supplies carried on board, there is no problem at all to sail directly to Mumbai. But if you stay in Kolkata, it is very necessary to replenish enough food, water and fuel. The same is true for Mumbai afterwards, otherwise it would be impossible to support the Port of Mombasa. Mombasa is a port located in eastern Africa. It was an important trading port more than 3,000 years ago; it was also one of the farthest ports visited by Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, there is no coal filling station here, which means that Franz's steam battleship will be at risk of shutting down. But in order to reach the Cape of Good Hope smoothly, enough fuel must be left, so the next voyage from Mumbai to Mombasa must rely on wind power. The prerequisite is that the fleet has enough supplies to avoid capsizing in the vast and endless sea. At this time, the Cape of Good Hope is one of the most dangerous routes in the world. This is not because of the local pirates, but because of the terrible westerly storm. This place is also known as "Storm Point". The most famous natural phenomenon in the area is the "killing wave". The wave height can be close to 20 meters, just like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, it can easily tear large merchant ships into pieces.
