My Italian

"Huchihuchi... squeak."

The train arrived at the terminal in Genoa, and the passengers got up and prepared to get off.

In the last carriage, Liu Buchan rubbed his swollen waist, stood up and said to a guard beside him. "Jiang Liu, let everyone get up, we're here."

Then Jiang Liu, who was also confused, woke up everyone in the carriage one by one.

"Jiang Liu, why are you kicking me?"

"Hey, you turned the sky upside down."

With a loud noise, everyone in the carriage got up. It is also pitiful to say that they are different from the passengers in other carriages. In order to avoid being discovered by the French, they not only stayed in the carriage the whole time, but also changed several locomotive hooks in a row, and even hung up a freight car for poultry. It was hard enough along the way.

After everyone got up, Liu Buchan looked at the officers and soldiers who were about to accept the calming second ship with him. "Okay, let's all be safe. Now that I'm not familiar with Italian people, they're all waiting in the carriage."

Liu Buchan's words made the inside of the car quiet. Except for the voice of individuals packing their luggage, no one dared to speak. The purpose of this time was mentioned in the car. The imperial court purchased two large warships of the Italian country. Learn from the Italian Navy officers and soldiers on the warship, and strive to be able to operate it proficiently as soon as possible.

They didn't wait long, and after the other passengers had left, a man in an Italian navy uniform walked out of the carriage. "Everyone, you... now... please follow me... out with me."

This sentence was spoken in Chinese. Although it was stumbling, the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy in the carriage could understand it.

The Beiyang officers and soldiers in the carriage followed the Italian naval officer through a guarded door and saw nearly ten carriages.

"Everyone, we need to take the carriage next. I personally advise everyone not to open the curtains to avoid being discovered."

This time, it was English. Fortunately, most of the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy knew English. After some exchanges, everyone boarded the carriage.

After they all went up, the carriage slowly started, taking them to one direction while taking advantage of the sunset.

As the leader, Liu Buchan naturally stayed in a carriage with the Italian naval officer.

"This captain, do you know your name?"

Having stayed in the UK for a long time, Liu Buchan's English proficiency is not low.

"Hello, my name is Gomes, Raddy Luce Gomes."

"Hello, Captain Gomes. Where are we going next?"

Now that Liu Buchan knew the name, the next thing he was most concerned about was naturally.

"We went directly to the naval base in Genoa. Because of the tight schedule, we couldn't give you time to rest."

"It doesn't matter, this is exactly what we want."

By the time Liu Buchan and his party arrived at the naval base, the sky was already dark, and the gas lamps in the city were illuminating all over the place, and it looked like a starry sky.

After the carriage was stable, the whole group got out of the carriage. The military port at night was heavily guarded, and patrolling soldiers were everywhere. Led by Captain Gomes, Liu Buchan and his party came to a dormitory building.

"The second floor here is where you rest. The bedding is ready. I'll have someone bring food over later. I'm sorry I can only let you eat here."

"You're welcome, Captain Gomes, we are all soldiers and don't care about comfort."

After sending the Italian officer away, Liu Buchan gave an order. "In groups of four, each group chooses a room."

He had seen it before. This is a quadruple room, and the bedding was replaced with new ones.

Later, a pile of bread and a pot of thick soup were delivered, and a group of people sat beside the bed, sipping soup and eating bread. After I had eaten and drank enough, I felt a little sleepy, and I fell asleep under the blanket.

The next day, with the wake up call in the base, the whole group was woken up.

And this time the Captain Gomes came again.

"Everyone, we are going to board the ship next, everyone as soon as possible."

As soon as they heard that they were going to board the ship, the group immediately became full of energy. This is a large warship of 7,000 tons. Who doesn't want to see it.

While they were busy, there was also a group of people pointing at the two warships in the naval base.

"One last look at these two warships, they will no longer belong to our navy."

Admiral Goreck looked at the Venice and Brescia docked in front of him, and said with emotion.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that although these two warships are no longer part of the navy, we will not lose their prestige. In the future, we will make the French in the Far East feel scared when they hear these two warships."

"Hahaha, very ambitious."

Hearing Captain Leifer's generous speech beside him, the Admiralty recalled his youth.

"I won't say anything extra. This time you all know that although the Qing Navy is in command in name, you are actually in charge. I just ask that no matter what happens, you must return to Italy safely. You I carefully selected them from the navy, and I will never allow you to be buried in the Far East."

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, the shells that can hit me have not yet been manufactured."

Golek patted the captain on the shoulder~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and continued to ask. "How about those Qing naval officers and men who have arrived?"

"It's no different, but a little reticent, Gomes is in charge of receiving them."

After the Admiralty nodded, he said with a serious expression. "If that's the case, then you will leave early tomorrow morning."

"Didn't you say three days later?"

"It was originally like this, but I heard that the French seem to have heard some wind. For the sake of safety, you need to leave early."

"Okay, I'll let the crew prepare in advance."

"In addition, after you cross the Suez Canal, the ship names of the Venice and Brescia will no longer be available. The Qing has named them Zhiyuan and Jingyuan. You will be the first captain of the Zhiyuan."

Admiral Golek left after looking at the two battleships for a while. After all, these two cruise ships belonged to the Qing Kingdom, and Italy still needs to continue to build them.

After Admiral Golek left, Lefer immediately found Gomes and informed him that the battleship needed to leave early. Then the next arrangement for Beiyang officers and soldiers to familiarize themselves with the warships was cancelled. All officers and soldiers of the two warships, regardless of nationality, immediately began to transport supplies and burn coal to the warships.

After a long day of work, the officers and soldiers of the two countries who were exhausted looked at each other as dirty as themselves, and laughed out loud, which immediately brought the relationship between the two sides closer.

Seeing this opportunity, Lefer and Gomes brought wine and sausages in the evening. A group of big men grilled sausages and drank wine. The relationship between the two became more harmonious. Even Liu Buchan put his arms around the two captains. Let's talk in English together.

The next day, there were no flowers to see them off. The two Venice-class cruise ships went out to sea again in the name of zippers, but this time the two ships should not come back.
