Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 158: Conch number and its new appointment
The sun was shining, and it was an extremely rare good weather.
In the blue sky and blue sea, Gabrield Naval Port, the resident of the Kingdom's Third Fleet, is also very lively.
Commercial ships, large and small, come from all directions here to load and unload, supply, and repair. At the same time, the luxuriant shipping business also delivers endless nutrients to this port city, creating countless wealth and opportunities.
This kind of scene, day after day, year after year, will not change due to who goes away, and it will not be stagnated because of who returns...
At this time, the warships and merchant ships returning to Hong Kong for repairs are taking advantage of the good weather bestowed by this goddess to organize sailors to maintain and maintain the ships. Make sure that after the next trip to sea, the only reliance on the sea can bring you back safely.
Warship parking area.
The sailors on an unremarkable Tier 6 warship are certainly doing the same thing, but they are obviously more careful than the routines on other warships.
"Quick! Quick! We must wipe the deck thoroughly before noon to welcome the arrival of the new captain!"
Flake wore his cleanest sailor suit, and commanded the sailors under him to carefully clean the deck. The idea was simple. Make sure to give the new chief a good first impression.
Whether it is the warship under his feet or himself.
Of course, Fleck’s task is just the easiest part of the ceremony. From staffing, material supplies to weapon maintenance records, etc., there must be no sloppy preparations before the arrival of the new captain!
Don't look at him as a sailor now. In fact, Flake was originally the son of a fisherman. He just passed the assessment last year and became an honorable kingdom navy.
After three months of recruit training, he and several recruits in the same period were assigned to this relatively common Tier 6 ship to become the most common sailor.
Of course, the fate of recruits during the same period was similar, with very few exceptions.
After boarding the ship, because Tier 6 patrol ships generally perform missions close to the coastline, the days on the ship are relatively calm and safe.
However, this calm is only relative to other higher-level warships.
Soon, they came across a small pirate ship that came from nowhere during a patrol. During the battle, he was surprised to find that the swordsmanship level of several recruits in the same period was even better than many veterans who had served for many years. Among them, he was the best.
Only in the first battle, he captured the head of a pirate very cleanly.
As a result, Fleck also showed his “excellent” swordsmanship, and was appreciated by the ship’s captain, and joined the most lucrative Marine Corps on board with a few recruits in the same period. Although it was more dangerous than the original position, but with more salary, he also gradually gained a lot of prestige among the sailors.
The young man originally thought that he was slowly working on his qualifications to build merits, and maybe he could become a warrant officer after the age of thirty. He would be more satisfied if he could get into his current position as the sailor before retiring.
It's just something that people didn't expect.
Because of his health, the former captain voluntarily applied to land and withdrew from the front-line battle sequence. By the way, he also took away the confidant sailor. This sudden accident caused Fleck to suddenly have new variables in his future plans.
Today the new captain is about to take up his new post. Like many people on this warship, Fleck can't help but feel a little nervous.
Whether it is a merchant ship or a warship, the captain is the only authority on the sea, in charge of the life and death of the crew and the road to promotion. The change of the captain is no less than a turn of fate for them.
"Flake, are you okay?" On the other side of the deck, a recruit, Baldwin, who was with him, urged loudly.
"It will be done soon." Flake checked the progress of the sailors and responded immediately.
But seeing Baldwin, his companion, instantly reminded him of the rumor of the "Rookie King" that had been widely circulated among naval soldiers before.
After all, a few of my own swordsmanship have benefited from that lord...
Suddenly, Flake, who was watching the movement on the shore from time to time, made new discoveries. Three young men in officer uniforms walked through the plank road on the pier and walked straight in their direction.
"Ah! That person is...?!"
......
"The noise you made in'Newin Harbor' this time is not small. The news comes that the third fleet is going to be fried! How about, have you seen our Royal Highness in the academy? Is it as beautiful as the rumored one?" A major officer with dark blue short hair blinked at another young officer who was walking nearby.
"Why, you want to confuse me? We have been given a password, and all the details of this incident cannot be told to anyone.
If you have the ability, go and take a peek at General Snet’s internal intelligence. It’s hard for others to say that there must be detailed intelligence at the level of a general. "
Even if I haven't seen him for half a year, this guy in Milan still can't change his cynical gossip nature, especially when it comes to girls.
Compared with Anthony, who is also the son of a wealthy family, with an older brother on it, Milan, who is the heir to the nobility, has significantly lowered her shelf, and at the same time, he lives more easily, but also more inconspicuous...
Hearing this, Ai Wen went back without a bit of expression, and dared to talk about the gossip of Her Royal Highness. You were afraid that you might not die fast enough! Hey, by the way, as the guardian knight of the queen, shouldn't you give this guy a sword at this time?
"Ahem, it's better to let him break my leg.
However, I am even more curious about how you made the credit when you said that. Your appointment can be regarded as breaking the record in naval history, right? The youngest captain in the kingdom! Just officially grown up! It has just been a year since enlisting in the army! ...More than one record.
After receiving an order from the Navy's headquarters from the Fleet Headquarters, the Lieutenant-Admiral has been talking about this every day, and my ears have become cocooned. "
"I just tried my best to do what I was supposed to do, and then I had a little more luck than others.
After you have seen what a peak powerhouse is, you will know how powerless I was at that time. Even if I get the credit, I have to enjoy it! "
Milan’s words reminded Ivan of the scene of the war that night~IndoMTL.com~The quasi-legendary battleship rampaged, the flaming "powerful" battleship, the brilliant main guns fired by the "Steam Fortress", and the evil **** that seemed to be the same Mad laughter echoed in the ears.
In this battle, at least half of the soldiers who went to sea failed to land again, not even a complete skeleton.
If you lose your life, you will lose everything! Thinking about it this way, Ivan instantly felt that he deserved the credit for his birth and death.
The two were talking in front, another sturdy tower-like figure followed silently behind, and the group had already walked to a three-masted sailboat moored in the harbor.
"Look, we are here. This is the Tier 6 warship "Conch" you are going to serve.
There are not many ships that are just vacant. The alternate captains who have been waiting for a few years are all staring at them. It was the father I went to find, and he rejected all the arguments and left this Tier 6 ship in the best condition to you.
Don't look at the level of division is six, in fact, apart from the insufficient number of artillery, it is not much worse than a five-tier ship! Isn't it interesting brother? "
"Interestingly, I invite you to drink in the evening. The place is up to you. I will pay for it!" The importance of a good ship to a navy is self-evident. When it comes to specific implementation, there are too many loopholes to drill.
If you have a good relationship with the senior management of the fleet and can be a man, everything will go smoothly, at least you don’t have to worry about someone deliberately spoiling it. If you don’t know how to be a human being, just throw you a small broken ship that is also the captain, and then throw you a bunch of spiky heads for you to carry, that situation can be too uncomfortable!
I should really thank Milan for his help, and Ivan patted his chest and agreed very grandiosely.
