My own war game

Chapter 70 BOSS's Decision

"Dunkirk?"

"Where is this?"

"Never heard of it. Is it a place in Denmark?"

Many passengers expressed doubts when hearing the place name. They did not know this place and most of them heard of it for the first time.

However, He Chi knew that he was very familiar with this place. As a student majoring in world history, he could take more than a dozen exam questions related to this name every year.

In May 1940, German mechanized forces bypassed the Maginot Line through Belgium and launched an overwhelming offensive.

The British and French allied forces were defeated due to their unstable footing. Finally, 40 of them were blocked in this small town in northwestern France, and they could be wiped out at any time.

The anxious British wartime cabinet therefore launched the so-called "Operation Dynamo", which mobilized nearly a thousand ships within a week to help these troops evacuate, and eventually took away 33.8 soldiers. This is known in history as the Dunkirk Evacuation.

"The mission is on! Players please listen to the briefing." The system's voice sounded.

[Mission: Big Generator, Mission Requirements: Transport as many Allied troops as possible to the British Isles before June 6th. Each soldier rescued will be rewarded with 4 copper coins, and each soldier killed in front of the player will be deducted 50 copper coins. Note: This mission is a speed-racing mission. Among all civilian transport ships, the player must be ranked in the top ten in terms of the total number of rescued people to be rewarded.]

"Oh my god, this is quite difficult." He Chi muttered after listening to the briefing.

He remembered that in history, there was only one civilian ship recorded to have rescued 700 people during the Dunkirk evacuation. Since it was in the top ten, even if he couldn't reach that number, he should at least be close. If he calculated 5 people, this small broken ship would have to go back and forth across the English Channel at least times.

You have to know that every time you fly back and forth in the sky, there will be German planes and torpedo boats "taking care" below.

According to statistics, a total of 861 ships of various types participated in the rescue, 243 ships were sunk one after another, and the battle loss rate exceeded 25%. He had to ensure that his ship was not included in this quarter of data.

Of course, this is not a problem to be considered now, because he is currently just an Asian follower of a down-and-out businessman. If he wants to gain the right to speak, he needs to show himself appropriately.

"Anyone here who has combat experience and can use weapons, please step forward. We need volunteers," shouted the leading captain.

The passengers looked at each other, but no one said a word. Before Operation Sea Lion, ordinary people in Britain had basically not received any military training, and not many of them had ever fought in a war.

"I have experience!" An arm stretched out from the crowd and raised high. Everyone looked back and found that a young Asian man raised his hand.

"You?" The captain came over and looked at He Chi with distrust. "Where have you had any war experience?"

"Som..." He Chi opened his mouth to talk about the Somme battlefield, but then found that his age didn't match, so he quickly changed his words and said, "I participated in the war in the East before."

"Tsk, Eastern people's wars, stabbing each other with spears and bows and arrows..." A soldier behind him sneered.

Just as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of him!

Before the soldier could react, he discovered that his belt was empty.

The bayonet at the waist was pulled out by the Oriental man, and the cold blade was placed on the soldier's neck.

"If this was on the battlefield, you would be dead now." He Chi said coldly while holding a bayonet.

"You launched a surprise attack, and it was because I was too careless and didn't pay attention." The soldier shouted unconvincedly when his neck was held. "Are you going to say the same thing to the Germans?" The Oriental man raised his eyebrows.

"You guy!"

"That's enough!" The captain beside him stepped forward to stop them. "My man was rude and didn't give the soldiers the respect they deserved. I apologize on his behalf. Can you let him go?"

He Chi nodded and took away the bayonet in his hand.

The captain took his service pistol and handed it to He Chi. "Do you know how to use it?"

He Chi looked at the weapon in his hand and said softly, "Webley revolver, .45 caliber, 6 rounds of spare ammunition, simple structure and not prone to malfunction, the disadvantage is that the recoil is too large, as for stability..."

He Chi raised his hand and pointed the gun.

clap clap clap! ! !
Three gunshots were heard, and the three flagpoles on the bow used to hold signal flags broke. The whole action was done in one go.

Short Gun Rapid Fire V2 (Disciple)
The soldiers and passengers nearby all widened their eyes, especially Banks. He never thought that the oriental bumpkin he hired for only 100 shillings a month would have such a good trick.

"Shooting on a heaving ship, that's an excellent marksmanship." The captain nodded. "Then now the Royal Navy has authorized you to be the fire control specialist on this ship. You only need to take orders from the captain."

"Fire control specialist? Captain, this is a civilian ship and we don't have any weapons." The captain came up to explain.

"I know, it will be here in a moment." The captain waved his hand, and someone carried two big things onto the boat - two Vickers .50 heavy machine guns with movable brackets.

Looking at the black gun barrels, some people swallowed their saliva, and a passenger stood up and asked carefully, "Excuse me, why are weapons loaded on the ship? Are we going to fight?"

"Our brave soldiers are in trouble in France. We are now requisitioning this ship to rescue them. We may encounter German planes on the way. This is the most basic self-defense weapon." After the captain finished explaining the purpose of the trip to the passengers.

The crowd suddenly panicked. After all, they were all ordinary people, and not everyone had the courage to face the Germans' guns, artillery and bullets.

"Quiet! We are only recruiting crew members and volunteers. Others can leave in the boats!" the captain shouted loudly at the bow.

When they heard that they didn't have to go, the passengers raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to leave. Except for the crew and a few people with patriotic feelings, most of them boarded the boat back home.

To He Chi's surprise, his boss Banks also stayed on the ship as a volunteer.

While the others were jumping onto the boat, He Chi walked up to Banks and asked, "Boss, why are you staying here? It's not too late to regret it now."

"Regret?! No! This is my chance to change my fate, why should I regret it!" Banks said emotionally

"40 people are waiting for our rescue, Kevin. Don't you think this is great? How many people are curious about what happened in the past few days, but they can only rely on word of mouth."

"We are different. We can witness it all with our own eyes and show it to everyone."

Then he took out a hand-cranked camera from his suitcase and said, "I will never find such a suitable script and such a grand opening. I will follow the ship and record everything that happens in the next few days. This will be a story of epic scale."

After saying that, he held He Chi's shoulders
"Kevin, our movie is going to be a big hit all over England!"
