Chapter 168 The Son Changes Commander
"My father-in-law, is there something missing between these two nautical charts? Where is the island where Hong Yu and I were stationed?" Some people were watching the fun, while others were looking at the trick. Luo Meizhou belonged to the latter. He put together a nautical chart of the Golden River Empire and an Atlantic Ocean map, and found that the Luzon Island of the Golden River Empire was almost on the west side of the North American continent. This is obviously wrong. If the two continents were so close to each other, this new continent would have been discovered by the Imperial Navy.
"About this area, around 21 degrees north latitude and 157 degrees west longitude." Hong Tao divided the two charts to the left and right, then picked up the compass to measure the quantity, and drew a small circle on the empty table in the middle. This coordinate is from the Port of Honolulu, and it is 100% accurate. Any captain who has sailed in the North Pacific, regardless of military and civilian use, must know the coordinates of several ports, and Honolulu is one of them.
"So far! It must be three thousand kilometers, right? You are so cruel that you have directly sent me, Hong Yu and my brother-in-law..." Although Weng Ya has a bad temper and spoiled her children, she is not worse than those of men who are compassionate about sailing. She only needs to look at the coordinates and longitudes, and you can immediately calculate the distance between the two. This is the basic skill, and even sailors must know it. The most hateful thing is that she also brought a few useless nonsense, which is a bit of a sensation of Hong Tao's family conflicts.
"You can even flatter you just turn around? It's a joyful congratulation! It turns out that you can speak human words. I thought you have always been a tigress, and you can't do anything except bite people. Come on, tell my uncle, why are you so smooth today? Could it be that you want to please my son-in-law and let him show mercy to your son in the future? You should save money. My daughter, my son-in-law is sent to you, and your son has to go with you. It's natural to follow the master, right?" Someone dared to talk to him, and Hong Tao immediately stopped looking at the chart, his whole body was full of aura, and then sprayed out of his mouth.
"...It's all your fault! No matter how much I don't care, I'll beat you every day if I can't see my son!" Weng Ya was told from the inside out by Hong Tao, and her tongue was so angry that she almost bit off. But she couldn't argue with her uncle, and she couldn't argue. The compassion around her became her breathing pump, with two punches and one kick.
"Hehe... don't pay attention to her, let's continue!" Mercy was beaten by his wife, without any abnormality, and comforted others, as if he was not the one who was beaten. Most of the people around him were not surprised. The couple's deeds have been famous in the empire for many years. Some of the girls in the empire have regarded Weng Ya as an idol, but most people still think Mercy is a coward and have lost all the faces of the man.
"This sea is really big. It is more than 7,000 kilometers from Midway Island to the nearest Japanese island. Is there a trade wind belt on it?" At this time, a black-black arm appeared on the chart. Mai Dahai, he, Dahe, Rat, Er Rat, and Ci Hu were squeezed in the front row, and his five little heads were almost lying on the chart, and they exchanged views from time to time.
"Well, Dahai is a good question! Rat, tell your father what kind of wind direction should be?" Taking advantage of the opportunity to study the charts, Hong Tao planned to take the exam for these children to see how well they knew about Dahai.
"...westerly wind?" The rat was asked by his father's question. He had never been to this sea area at all. How could he know what wind was blowing there? He looked left at his younger brother, but he didn't get the answer. He looked right at Maidahe, and the other party's eyes were also confused. He had no choice but to answer one according to the rules of the Atlantic Ocean.
"Tsk, idiot, it must be the northwest wind! This is the westerly wind zone in the middle latitude of the northern hemisphere, and the ocean currents to the west! To the south of the thirty degrees, it is the northeast wind. When it reaches the south of the equator, the northeast will change to the southeast, the west wind zone or the west wind zone. I don't know this, it's still a waste of the sea. If you hang out with me in the future, I will take you out and make sure it's okay and go wherever you want!" The rat's answer made Hong Tao not very satisfied, but it was not unqualified. Most of the people here should not know the concept of global climate. Just when Hong Tao was planning to inspire his son, a less audible voice came out. Cihu said while gesturing, seeing which posture he was the best in the world, and he didn't even see anyone in his eyes.
"Cihu, shut up and go and play with your mother. She has a big lobster!" Cihu's answer made Cihu nervous, and she coaxed and wanted to send the child away.
"Wait! Cihu, you answered correctly, you are smarter than them. Come and tell grandpa, how did you know these things?" Who is Hong Tao? No one can hear the deep meaning of Cihu's words, and he immediately felt it. So a wolf grandfather appeared in front of Cihu, smiling so kindly, and looking warm.
"My mother teaches..." Cihu was praised and was very proud. She opened her mouth and sold Weng Ya. But halfway through, he suddenly shut up and stared at Hong Tao's smiling face. It seemed that he remembered that he had been beaten twice just now, both of which had something to do with this old man. Why did such a dangerous old man smile so kindly at himself?
"Weng Ya... Get over here!" Sure enough, the kind smile on Hong Tao's face instantly turned into a sneer, and Cihu shrank his neck. He had never seen such a cold smile in his heart, especially his slender eyes. Looking at him, he felt like a poisonous snake.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... It's not that they were both. I asked the child to see it. Didn't I want to teach him more?..." Ciqing was also panicked and quickly stopped in front of Weng Ya and her son, making a pitiful face, trying to influence Hong Tao to show his high hand.
"It's really a pinnacle to the point where you two are used to be a toy. Even the state secrets dare to take them out for them as toys for them, and I told me what's the point of you two? Originally, I didn't plan to let America take Cihu away, but I just wanted him to suffer some hardship. At least I would give it back to you. Now it seems that it's impossible not to take it away. When America told me that he had made a correction, he had to pass my exam before he could come back. Otherwise, you two would have another one, just pretend that there was no such son!" When Hong Tao raised his head, his face no longer had a smile. After seeing her eyes, she looked at Weng Ya with mercy and rubbed her hands constantly.
"We are willing to accept military law, but can we let the child not leave..." Merciful lowered his head and said nothing. Weng Ya was really anxious, and her tears were all over. If she hadn't known that Hong Tao had annoyed others the most, she would immediately kneel down and plead for mercy.
"Military law? If this is in the empire, you two have to go to mine for half your life, and whether you can get out alive is a problem! I think the imperial government is doing very well, so you are not worthy of being the governor! This is not an empire, nor a royal navy, and I have no right to punish you. If you don't want Cihu to go with America, then I can't force you. You two take him back to your territory and go to trouble. The Spring Alliance does not accept the joining of your country. We will each play their own things, so we will all worry." If it can be influenced by tears, Hong Tao will not be Hong Tao. Weng Ya's pleading not only did not receive sympathy, but also angered Hong Tao and directly issued an expulsion order.
"Hey hey... why did you turn your back on your face as you said it? It's merciful, it's not your uncle who is angry, and you can't hurt your child so much. You said that you couple did this, how can others trust you? I can't guarantee that the child will go out with the secrets of the alliance to show off one day. You are harming him. I think, it's better to ask America to help you take care of you for a few years. America is not as inhuman as his father-in-law, let alone Hong Yu, how can they lose your son? Listen to me, go and give His Majesty a soft hand. You two can't fight him, and you're forced to force him to force him. Call your father here, maybe you two won't even see your son."
When he saw Hong Tao was really anxious, Qi Zu quickly came forward and mixed. He probably knew why Hong Tao was anxious. The things that Ci Hu knew were all written by Hong Tao in some booklets. These booklets were only held in the hands of a few people. He and Wen Xiaoqi also had one, but the content was different. It was not about navigation, but a lot of mechanical structures, ship models and metal knowledge. This kind of thing is highly confidential. Except for himself, even the family members could not show it. Even the senior officials of the empire did not know the existence of these things. It is too dangerous to let a child talk about it everywhere.
"We were wrong... I dare not do it again in the future..." When Qi Zu reminded him, Weng Ya was also a little scared. This booklet was handed over to the couple by Cixi. She still remembered what she said at that time. Hong Tao was not scary. He was relatively reasonable, but his father-in-law's cruelty was famous for the entire empire. The result of letting him appear is definitely not better than that of Hong Tao.
"The Americas will not leave for a short time, and your son will still be your son sooner or later. I think you are idle. Now I find something for you. Once you are busy, you will have no time to miss your son. I now appoint you as the first naval commander of the alliance. The task is to build the navy in the shortest time. The current navy is at best a reserve service, which is very unqualified. Weng Ya, you should do some serious things too. If you are the commander of the Alliance Atlantic Fleet, your home port is on Prince Edward Island. Your mission is to build the home port and take the fleet to patrol the east coast of the North Atlantic, and by the way, explore the local hydrological data carefully."
