"Rise the anchor! Don't learn from me. It's very uncomfortable to suck too much of this thing. Go away!" For the health of these sailors, Hong Tao planned to pause the memories of modernity first. He turned around and poked them, and closed his eyes and was breathing intoxicatedly. The father and son are really inherited. They have to learn the sounds of their own farts, regardless of whether they are good or bad.

When the Jinhehu pulled up two iron anchors, one in front and one behind, slowly raised the sail and turned around, the Parcea Ma Port was covered with thick black smoke and could not see anything. Those wooden houses were the best combustible substances, and heavy oil was the best combustible agent. The bigger the fire, the more sufficient the preheating of the heavy oil, the more vigorous it would be. It is impossible to extinguish it. Without an oxygen mask, unless Sun Wukong reincarnated, no one could stay in such thick smoke for a few minutes and be fine. Not to mention extinguishing the fire, it would be dangerous to get close.

"After my husband burned this city, they could still rebuild it. There were no walls and palaces. After half a year, there would be another port here. Maybe even more man can burn it?" Wen Nan still didn't understand why Hong Tao had to spend this effort to burn a port. In his opinion, it was called a village at most, and the buildings were not worth much. After throwing so many grenades, it could not completely solve the problem. It was obviously a loss.

"Reconstruction? Impossible! It's not suitable for living here for ten years, unless the Javanese people are Xiaoqiang!" Hong Tao answered Wen Nan's question with certainty.

"Don't you believe it? Well, you may not know that heavy oil cannot be burned. After it burns, it will leave a lot of things that will seep into the ground and groundwater for a long time. It will never be removed. There is always a bad smell. Where it has been polluted by heavy oil, there will be no grass growing. Little bugs are unwilling to stay. Now you know why Jinhewan put all these things into cans and put them elsewhere. There will be no need to be so troublesome in the future. They will all be here.

Settling down at some ports is called chemical weapons. Do you understand? Any knowledge in the world has two sides. On the one hand, it can benefit mankind and on the other hand, it depends on how the person who masters it uses it. Now I am here to act as the destroyer. It is not that I am cruel by nature, but that I want to leave a world for future generations without dirtying my hands. We have to do all the bad things. In the future, my son, your son, can be as good as a good person and merciful."

Whether it is a steel mill or a shipyard, there are boilers that use heavy oil as fuel. Hong Tao still knows what the thing is. In fact, just sprinkle heavy oil on the ground, it is enough to pollute the land. Without modernization methods, it will never be cleaned. The reason why he set off another fire was completely Hong Tao's curiosity. He wanted to see what the fire burned the city, but unfortunately the fire was not very vigorous and not spectacular.

With one experience, the subsequent destruction operation became more and more convenient. The four ships started from the Sunda Strait and moved along the north side of Jawa Island to Bali. As long as there were buildings such as harbors and shipyards, they were directly bombarded. Larger towns sent cavalry and marines to land and catch prisoners and splashed heavy oil. Before leaving, they lit a fire. Small villages and towns omitted this step, mainly because the amount of heavy oil brought by the fleet was not enough to be used at will, and they had to be taken care of. For fishing boats, Hong Tao opened the net, as long as it was not a large ship, all small boats several meters long were spared. Killing was not the first choice. Destroying the infrastructure of Jawa Island, especially coastal facilities, made it unable to develop maritime power, and forcing it to move from an offensive state to the defense of the island is the key.

However, for a large island with a height of more than 100,000 square kilometers, Hong Tao's ships were not enough to see. Hundreds of tons of ammunition were like drizzle, and dozens of tons of heavy oil could not see any major effect. After destroying six or seven ports and focusing on polluting three places, not only did the heavy oil disappear, but the fleet's ammunition reserves were also in a hurry, and the entire south side of the Jawa Island had not yet been affected.

"Go back to the Port of Malacca, Swan, tell your tribesmen, don't forget our agreement, captives can be trained to become Mamluk soldiers, but not too many. I just need you to gain a foothold in Port of Malacca and its surrounding areas, and do not want to see that one day it will become a force that threatens me, otherwise these shells and heavy oil will be used on your father and your tribe. You should understand this more than your father. It is always more pleasant to be partners on both sides than to become enemies.

"After destroying a small port in Bali, Hong Tao ordered the end of the extermination operation. Hundreds of slaves were transferred to the merchant ship and taken over by the Mamluks. They will be trained in the port of Malacca for a period of time. A small number of people will become Mamluk soldiers, and most of them will be enslaved to death by the Mamluks. Compared with the slaves in Jinhewan, the Mamluks treated slaves more cruelly and badly, and they were not regarded as humans at all. They were completely human-shaped livestock.

"Then can I stay on the ship and be a navy?" Swan was born to anger his father, the only heir to the tribe leader. He kept the ready-made tribe and did not lead the leader, but thought about joining the army for others all day long. How could his father be happy?

"It's up to you, but I remind you, it's best not to tell your father first, that it's a good thing to keep him in the dark. Maybe one day you change your mind and can still return to him." Hong Tao is still very optimistic about this child who loves the sea. He is tough, smart, and has a good body. These are all necessary qualities for playing with the sea. More importantly, Swan has a heart like the sea, sometimes very ruthless, sometimes very enthusiastic, and a good seedling to be a captain.

Leaving the devastated Jawa Island, three warships escorted the full load of merchant ships back to the Port of Malacca. At this time, Hong Tao set out from Jinhewan for a month. The fleet did not stay in the Port of Malacca. After the supply was completed, it loaded two hundred Javanese slaves who had been enslaved by the Mamluks for more than half a year. They left the Port of Malacca and drove back to the Island of Jawa.

"Husband, why are we back?" A few days later, when Wen Nan saw the lifeless Parcema Port burned to death, he realized that the fleet had turned around and returned to the Sunda Strait, and was very surprised.

"It's not that I'm back, I'll just pass by! This place is called the Sunda Strait. From here, you can travel directly to Madagascar Island and even the Cape of Good Hope. The distance is a bit far, at least tens of thousands of miles. Are you afraid?" Hong Tao was not here to continue to torture the Javanese, he had to take another adventure, taking the Quanzhou and Haibo directly to the Cape of Good Hope from the Sunda Strait, with nearly 10,000 kilometers one-way.

This is his first time driving an ancient sailboat for a long distance. Compared with the previous three or two thousand kilometers, this is the real trans-ocean sailing. Adventure is inevitable. If there is a modern 40-foot sailing ship and a Jinhe River that Hong Tao would not even consider, Hong Tao would choose the 40-foot modern sailing ship. In any case, ancient sailing ships like the Jinhe River are not as good as any modern small sailing ship in terms of navigation performance. The risk of using them for transocean sailing is not very great.

But this risk must be taken. Without going through extremely long-distance sailing, Hong Tao would not know where the limits of these ships were. He would go to America in the future. The journey was farther and he would not understand the detailed data, so how could he feel at ease. Moreover, he could only do this by himself. If other captains take risks, the danger would increase exponentially. Compared with them, he would know more about the world and the ocean.

In fact, starting from the Sunda Strait to Cape of Good Hope or Madagascar is not a benefit at all. This route is very long and there is no supply point to stop in the middle, but it is not necessarily more difficult to take this route, because the route does not have to experience the torture of the equatorial windless belt in the middle. Most of the seas are southeast trade wind belts, with side winds all the way, and the speed will be very high. It is always less time to use than the route to Kabaran Port. It is also very convenient when you come back. You can first go straight east from the Cape of Good Hope, go with the wind on the edge of the west wind belt, and turn north when you are about to arrive at the west coast of Australia, and return to the Sunda Strait with side winds. As long as the navigation is accurate, it will be smooth.

"If Australia had not sunk, would it be possible to reach the voyage of thousands of miles?" Wen Nan remembered the mysterious hometown Hong Tao said again.

"It's sunk... No if! Right rudder 15...Full sail!" Hong Tao's face was very serious, but he was happy in his heart. Fortunately, he made up lies earlier. Otherwise, once Wen Nan and Luo Youde seized the opportunity, they would 100% quarrel to go to Australia to see it. This is called a step ahead! But in the future, he would make up a lies, that is, to change the real Australia to another name, namely Oceania. A lies always require a lot of lies to be filled.

Eight thousand kilometers, this is a straight-line distance. No one can walk so straight on the sea. A little because of ocean currents and wind directions, there will be ten thousand kilometers. There is no wind belt here, and strong winds and waves cannot be avoided. The three ships lost contact twice along the way because of wind and wave problems alone. Fortunately, they finally met at the assembly point. On several occasions, everyone thought they could not survive the next wave, but when they raised their heads from the overwhelming seawater, they found themselves still alive.

There is nothing in the world that makes people feel more happy than escaping death, and nothing can make people mature faster than escaping death. The sailors who originally cried in the windless belt can now add the word "long voyage" in front of their titles. They are different from any sailor in the world and are the first pioneers who have purposefully crossed the ocean. If you take out one, you can become a captain on any ship in the world, and you are more than enough to deal with sailing along the coastline. (To be continued.)
