[Titanic + Comprehensive] Annie

Just when Murdoch began to waver whether it would be better to drive the Titanic onto the iceberg, Captain Smith's weary voice came from the door.

In fact, he should have come back 10 minutes ago, but when he went out, the vase on the cabinet suddenly fell, and the water spilled all over him, so he simply went to take a shower, and felt the presence of the Titanic when he was getting dressed. There was a shock, and then a crew member with a panicked look came to inform him that something had happened.

"It's useless. I can't turn around and drive up the iceberg at this time." The old captain hurried over from the room in his coat and nodded to Anne, and said kindly: "The little girl's idea is very good, but it is suitable for the ship's boat. Doing so now before being damaged will only damage the ship even more."

Edward sighed, Murdoch made the wrong reaction, now they can't turn back, they can only pray to God that the damage to the Titanic is not serious.

Everyone in the command room fell silent, and Murdoch himself was in a cold sweat: Was he wrong?Should it really be driving straight up just now?

The white-haired old captain rubbed his brows, his worried expression made him look several years old. After thinking about it in his heart, he persuaded Annie and the others first: "Go back to the cabin first, I have to see See how badly the ship is damaged, and then contact the engineer to see if it can be repaired, the command room will be chaotic for a while, and it is not suitable for you to stay."

Anne wanted to tell Captain Smith that there was no need to waste time to check, and more people could be saved by launching the lifeboat now.

At this time, the chief designer Andrews also staggered in with a pile of design drawings. He was stunned when he saw Annie and his party, but he didn't avoid them. He said to Edward with a choked voice: " Old man, the Titanic is dead, let the passengers get ready to board the lifeboats!"

He was inspecting the forward cabin of the bow when the iceberg collided.

During this period of time, he listened to the opinions of many passengers, and personally observed every corner of this big ship that carried a lot of his painstaking efforts. He planned to modify this magnificent century-old ship to be more perfect after returning.

The collision happened at the bow of the ship. At that time, he couldn't even stand firmly, so he hurriedly supported the surrounding railings. I know the ship I designed best. The Titanic can be said to be a moving castle on the sea. Her sailing should be very smooth. Yes, he thought of the iceberg warning that Edward had been talking about for the past few days. Before he came to the command room, he went to the sluice to see that there was a hole in the ship's wall. In less than 10 minutes, the sea water Influx of more than ten feet, let him come to the conclusion that the Titanic, the overlord of the sea, must sink in the Atlantic Ocean.

Andrews' words shocked everyone in the command room, including Edward.

Originally, the old captain was quite optimistic, thinking that even if there was any damage, it would be fine to find someone to repair it, because the Titanic had made the best preparations in the design to prevent the ship from sinking, which is why everyone was full of confidence and believed that she would never The reason for the sinking.

At this moment, the old captain felt like a cock that had been strangled by the throat. His entire throat was so dry that he couldn't speak. He managed to speak, but his voice was surprisingly hoarse: "Why...how could it be? Isn't there five waterproof Cabin?"

"Yes, there are five waterproof compartments." Andrews is no better than Edward, his voice is hoarse, and even has a nasal tone. The Titanic is like his child, and now he has to watch it helplessly. Andrews was almost overwhelmed by the heavy guilt and burden of seeing the child perish but being unable to save her, and even costing the lives of thousands of people!

"Before I came over, the waterproof cabin had already started to flood in. I measured the speed, and they couldn't stop the seawater from pouring in. Soon, all five cabins would be flooded by seawater. The Titanic...is destined to stop here .”

Andrews looked at Edward, his old friend for many years, with a dismal expression and flushed eyes: "So, old man, let the passengers get ready to get on the lifeboat."

"A lifeboat can hold 75 people. Please order the captain to stipulate that each boat must be filled with at least 70 people before it can be launched, and there must be at least [-] men in it."

After Andrews finished speaking, Anne interrupted abruptly. Everyone was used to the little girl who kept interrupting after the disaster.

"That won't work! Ladies and children should be prioritized. How can we reserve seats for men?" Murdoch took the lead in refuting Anne's proposal, and at the same time looked suspiciously at Carl and Antonio standing beside her like two patron saints. It seemed that Annie was suspicious that Annie made such a request for her own selfish desires.

Annie was about to cry out of anger from the first mate, "A lifeboat is full of women, who will help row the oars? Women's strength is not as strong as that of men! I said 20 people is a conservative estimate, and it is best to have [-] people. In order to take the lifeboat away from the whirlpool as quickly as possible, the relay will be carried out in batches."

Everyone present did not understand why the vortex appeared. When the vortex appeared, it was also the moment when this beautiful ship that hit the iceberg on its maiden voyage left its last figure in this world.

"Captain Smith, please order this to be done. Otherwise, I am afraid that many lifeboats will be launched into the sea before reaching the limit of their ability to rescue. Please think about how many people will lose the chance of being saved."

"It still doesn't work. If there are too many people on board, the lifeboat will be more likely to capsize. At that time, no one will be able to survive. At most, only half of the people will be on board."

Annie almost wanted to rush up and grab First Officer Murdoch by the neck, telling him that this idea was wrong.

But this is a common concept in this era. Everyone thinks that if the lifeboat carries too many people, it will easily capsize at sea. This is one of the reasons why she gave so many lifeboats to the White Star Company.

The girl was gasping for breath, her face was flushed, she had been so angry since the Titanic hit the iceberg, and finally decided to overwhelm others: "Those are lifeboats donated by my family, I think I have the right to decide them How many people should it carry!"

"Do as she says, think about the consequences of not listening to your advice just now!" Mr. Capitalist stood up to support his little lover at the right time.

Captain Smith was not silent for a long time, and after only a dozen seconds, he picked up the walkie-talkie and gave orders to the crew.

"Old man, I'm afraid I have to trouble you with something." After putting down the walkie-talkie, Edward said to Andrews who was standing beside him in a trance with a miserable expression: "Calculate how much time we have left to deal with it!"

Andrews understood what Edward meant to estimate how long the Titanic could last at sea. He didn't talk nonsense, and went aside to evaluate with the blueprint in his arms.

"Little girl, I remember that all the lifeboats on this ship were donated by your family and Mr. Hockley's family," Edward twitched at Annie, trying to make a smiling expression but was unsuccessful at all. "Don't worry, there will definitely be your seats up there."

Annie lazily explained to him that she was not talking so much for the seat, um, no, she wanted the seat, but she was really thinking about other people.

"There are also third-class passengers. I remember that after nine o'clock in the evening, the passages of the third-class cabins are all locked? Please remember to send someone to open the door, Captain."

"I know, thank you little girl for reminding me."

Reports of disasters, damage, and flooding were continuously reported to the command room through the radio. Edward waved to them and said, "Okay, everyone, hurry up and board the ship. I'm afraid I won't be able to guarantee your safety if it's too late." seat."

She did everything she could do, and there was nothing she could do to help in the command room. Annie took Carl's hand and called to Antonio to walk quickly towards the cabin. They had to go back and put on life jackets and take out Ready package.

Had I known that Captain Smith would guarantee their seats in the lifeboat, Davidson and the others should have been gathered together.

"Carl, Davidson..."

"Shh, honey, I know, wait a minute. If we have time, we can find them, or pay the crew to find them for us."

Antonio looked at the man and woman who held hands in front of them and looked very intimate, feeling a little sour, although he already knew that they were a couple...God forgive him, this is the first time he has such a good impression of a woman...

It wasn’t long before the ship hit the iceberg. Most of the people were either still drunk in the lobby, or they didn’t want to pay attention to the crew members who knocked on the door in their sleep. Exercises will be held in the middle of the night to scare them.

Therefore, the three of Anne ran back to the cabin without hindrance. When the door was opened, they saw three servants including Davidson waiting for them in the room.

"Davidson!" Anne exclaimed. She couldn't believe that the old butler didn't take the other two people and escaped as soon as possible. The old butler must have known about the Titanic crashing into the iceberg.

This 50-year-old man with many white hairs smiled at them, then bowed to Carl and said, "Master, I received the news from the Frankfurt at 11:30, and they will arrive in about an hour."

The implication is: Master, it's not that old Davidson doesn't obey orders, but that he has received news and is waiting to report to you!

Carl: I should have guessed that the old butler's heart would not run away alone.

"Okay, I get it, get ready, we're going to take the lifeboat now."

After several people put on the life jackets, Anne asked Antonio: "Is there anyone you want to bring?"

"There is only one servant, and he will come to me himself."

Hearing this, Annie nodded, she had an impression of Neil, and then a group of people rushed to the location of the lifeboat that Edward told them.

At this time, there were not many people on both sides of the ship's side. It can be said that only the crew members were busy, and the only passengers who were ready to escape were those on the lifeboat.

Les Stoller was instructing people to untie the ropes tied to the lifeboat. When he saw Anne and his group, he said without nonsense, "I have been notified by Captain Smith that this lifeboat is currently carrying 45 people. It's almost the same with you guys."

Annie wanted to refute, how could it be almost the same?There are nearly twenty positions left!

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

why don't you let me talk?

Anne looked at Carl suspiciously.

Karl noticed the little lover's actions earlier, and he covered her mouth, not wanting the little lover to refute the crew and be hostile by the crew and those who had already boarded the ship.The crew has taken a step back and loaded some more people. Although the number of people is far from the little girl's expectation, but looking at the dissatisfied faces of those on the lifeboat, it is clear that the load is more than half of the number of people that the lifeboat can take. People have made these people very unhappy, and everyone thinks that the risk factor will be very high.

"Honey, get on the boat first, and I'll tell you when I get on the boat."

These people who boarded the lifeboats at the first time were obviously one of the few people on the Titanic with status and intelligence, and they were not easy to offend.

Therefore, when explaining the reason to his little lover, Karl bit the tip of Anne's ear, and explained to her in a low voice next to her ear.

This scene fell in the eyes of other people who felt that their lives were guaranteed and thus relaxed, and they started joking: "Hey! Is it a little lover in love? You never forget to show your intimacy at such moments!"

They ignored this untimely topic, and Annie greeted Antonio who was not on the lifeboat in a low mood: "Anthony, come down quickly!"

Antonio turned his head to look at the brightly lit and fragrant banquet hall, and at the lifeboat already filled with some people, and smiled slightly at the little girl he had a crush on, "Annie...someone needs to inform the other People come to board the boat."

There must be something wrong with the "Hope Diamond". Neil hasn't come back for so long. He has to go back and have a look. After the "Hope Diamond" is solved, maybe everyone on the ship will be fine.

Following here, I just want to see the little girl get on the boat safely with my own eyes.
