Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 374: Recruit troops and buy horses
This early spring, which has made all countries unstable, has quietly passed.
Time has come to April unknowingly, and even the northern colonies of the kingdom have been stained with thick greenery.
East Lents, one of the royal colonies of Falitis, Port Raleigh, is also the capital of the current colony.
In a cafe built of spruce with colonial characteristics, Irwin and a chubby middle-aged gentleman are enjoying a sumptuous afternoon tea together.
The premium coffee produced in the New World, the almond sponge cake made with Faletti’s local practice, and the caramel pudding with pickled berries, seemingly simple and luxurious enough for most colonial residents.
”Thank you to Director Necado for supporting the construction of the Port of Hatrafa. Without you and the East Lundz Company, even if this port is handed over to me, I don’t know how long it will take It works normally.”
Aiwen, wearing a white shirt and slim-fitting army pants and boots, is holding his coffee cup in a leisurely posture, with his ruby cane next to him, and there is a slight sound of gnawing cookies in the shadow.
”It’s just a trivial matter, all for the great cause of the kingdom.
Your Excellency General may have any needs, as long as they are within the scope of my authority, I can give you priority. “
Nekado now has no equal posture when facing Ivan. He has been faintly pleased since he saw his power in Lengshuihewan.
Since then, he has been promoted to brigadier general in just six months.
was then appointed by Lieutenant General Gustav as the deputy commander of Falettis’ garrison in the New World. At a young age, he became Falettis’s top ten presence in the entire New World military commander.
The commander of the garrison is a major general named Martin Christopher. The main body of his command is the army. They are stationed in the colony for a long time. In fact, they mainly play the role of security police.
Although the actual combat effectiveness of this unit is definitely not as good as that of the navy, it is impossible to bypass them in any way if it wants to do something in the New World.
And even if Ivan is not prepared to intervene too much in the affairs of the garrison, but the position is there, he has the power to deploy a small part of the armed forces in the colonial cities without the consent of the governor.
The influence cannot be underestimated.
At this time, even in terms of his status in the kingdom’s bureaucratic system, Nekador, as the trade director of East Runzi, already needs to look up to him.
”By the way, Mr. Director, you know, I need to recruit a group of ‘special’ seamen.
You have been working in New World for a long time, and you know the situation here better than I do. Do you have any good suggestions on this point? “
Regarding Necardo, who was an insider, Ivan didn’t need to hesitate, and straightforwardly sought the help of the old bureaucrat.
Actually, the situation in the New World during this period of time did not seem to settle down at all.
Originally, because Hilius occupies the region with the best resources and the most valuable output, among all the merchant ships that go to and from the mainland, their merchant ships are of course the most valuable.
is also the favorite target of pirates!
But now under the leadership of “Oath Bearer” Bradley, a large number of pirates have begun to looting merchant ships of other countries.
Even if there is a difference in value, a part of the so-called proof of merit can be obtained from the pirate king.
At the same time, he shared his smuggling channels, private ports, extraordinary knowledge, even part of the benefit subsidies, and of course the future nation-building promise.
Even the place where the nation was founded, Bradley drew a blueprint for them.
The southern part of the New World has a vast land called Cabral north of the Deputy King District of La Plata on the east coast.
This area is mixed with dragons and fish, and it is also the most complicated place at present. There are colonists from many Old World countries, escaped slaves, original Atrians, and a huge number of mixed races.
One of the strongest forces is the remnants of Gashna and Azik who were destroyed by Hilius, and there are still a large number of indigenous wizards and totem warriors.
Although it is chaotic, it is regarded by the pirates headed by Bradley as the most ideal place to build a country and build a free pirate country.
Obviously, the pirate king was unsuccessful in preparation and became benevolent, and followed Hilius all the way to the dark.
In this case, after several rounds of negotiations, the countries have reached a common resolution.
Compared with Hilius, the military strength of various countries is of course at a disadvantage. Sending warships to directly confront others is a loss-making business that no one will ever do.
So all adopted the mode of organizing large-scale private plundering operations by the government, admitting that any individual looting the merchant ship of Hilius is a legal act and will not be regarded as a pirate.
Private behavior certainly existed before this, but it never rose to the level of systematization, normalization, and unity of goals. This is the first time that countries have shared the same enemy.
is exactly the same as Ivan’s “Blood Loss Plan”!
If there is no high-level Falitis behind to help, he wouldn’t believe it if he was killed.
So, under this premise.
Aiwen must not be left behind. The captains who accept the permission of privateer from various kingdoms may flock to him, but Aiwen, the semi-official privateer fleet belonging to Falettis, has to start to act and produce results.
The most important thing is that I have never been a pirate, and I am not familiar with it.
Even though there are already a few high-end ships captured from Hilius, most pirates would not even dare to think of high-end ships, but they lack a large number of people who can start them.
“The Endeavour” has left the Port of Hartrafa, and all the wounded who were permanently disabled in the battle, including the first officer Borg, have also been sent to the warship returning to the mainland by Ivan. At this time, the entire island Only 209 crew members of the original “Cape Storm” were left on board.
Now let alone those warships that have been allocated by him to become the main force of the privateer fleet, even the “Cape Storm” itself lacks a lot of manpower.
Hearing what Ivan said, it is true that Necardo, who has served in the New World for many years, pondered for a moment:
”If only for Hilius, I know a group of very suitable people.
Don’t know if you have heard of St. Dominic’s Island and the Arawaks? “
Hearing the familiar words, Ivan suddenly became interested, and put down the coffee cup in his hand:
”St. Dominic Island? You mean the birthplace and base camp of the ‘Voodoo’ in the New World?”
“That’s right! However, St. Dominic Island is its current name. When the aborigines were still living there, it was called Hispaniola Island…”
Originally, a tribe called Arawak among the Atrians lived on the island of Hispaniola.
This island ranks second in the Golden Sea. It covers an area of 27,000 square kilometers and is rich in sugar cane, coffee, and rice.
But about ten years ago, in order to prevent the infiltration of the Saks, the Hilius used the army to carry out a large-scale suppression and blockade of these residents.
Used massacre and famine to drive the natives of the Arawak tribe to the sea.
But the Hilius, who thought they were able, did not expect that the Arawaks who retreated to the sea gathered around Tortuga in the north and became pirates who would never die with Hilius.
and they are not afraid of death and the methods are cruel. In order to avenge the mass murder of Hilius, most of the Hilius captured by them will be sentenced to capital punishment.
is not hostile to the pioneers of the Old World other than the Hilius.
Because Tortuga Island is also in the northern part of the Golden Sea, Donglunzi Company has dealt with them before and helped deal with the spoils, which can be said.
”It’s just that their current living conditions are not very good. Tortuga Island is not enough to support too many people, and maybe enough people can be recruited from them.
ahem, just because the current ratio of men to women in the Arawaks is about 7:3. Male-to-male pairs are prevalent among them, and they even have formal marriage-like relationships.
Do you mind this? “
Aiwen thought for a moment. Although there are some minor problems, it does not affect the looting. And in terms of its own “interest-driven” management approach, race should not be a big problem.
So, Ivan nodded:
“Don’t mind, I respect other people’s customs and mate choice.”
But as soon as the voice fell, I just looked up and saw Milan and a young girl walking by outside the window talking and laughing.
The girl’s long-haired shawl wears a delicate feather headband, and wears a short leather armor, revealing a large wheat-colored delicate skin on her body.
The whole person is like a beautiful and dangerous female leopard, which is completely different from the numb native slaves in the current colony who are submissive.
“Huh, is that…?”
……..
at the same time.
The boundary between the outermost part of the Golden Sea and the Black Sea, near the island of Baptos.
“Hey! It’s the’Iron Bones’ again, let them continue like this, how can we rob?!”
On a pirate ship with black sails, the pirate chief wearing a red headscarf and gold teeth put down the brass telescope in his hand, and spit out bitterly.
Not far from them, a merchant ship full of cargo with not shallow draught moved slowly. It should have been a very suitable prey.
But what is very paradoxical is that a pirate ship with black sails is also escorting it next to it.
Through that recognizable bow gun like a spine, the pirate chief easily recognized who was bad for his good deeds.
“Iron Bone” William, who has risen less than a year from the old continent!
This is a typical “righteous thief”.
Whether it is a legal merchant ship or a smuggled ship, this guy only collects a quarter of the total value of the goods, and will act as an **** gift to send out of the country to prevent further robbery by other peers.
Because of its special geographical location, Barpudos Island is a hunting ground for many pirate ships waiting for their prey. Now suddenly there is a spoiler, which of course makes many people very unhappy.
But I am afraid of the strength of William “Iron Bone”. After a few initial trials, no one dares to single-handedly challenge William’s rules!
~IndoMTL.com~ Let’s go on like this…
”Captain, the Golden Sea is no better than the east coast of the Black Sea.
There are only two pirate kings here, and there are countless great pirates. After a long time, will we be sapped by these peers? “
The first officer holding a beautiful briar pipe spit out a deep puff of white smoke, and said with some worry.
“Yes, Captain! How about we change another place? Or go back to the east coast of the Black Sea!”
The sturdy young man with a bronze-colored upper body also echoed beside him, after being rescued by the navy and escaped from the great pirate Bassem.
has been in the New World for almost a year, and he can clearly feel that his colleagues here are increasingly dissatisfied with these people.
Even if they dock at a private pirate port, the crew members on the ship are afraid to say the name of the ship they are on because they are afraid of being retaliated by their peers.
The vicissitudes of life middle-aged man with two iconic pirate scimitars slung around his waist, with cyan stubble, turned his head and frowned:
”If you **** can stand up a bit, do we still need to look at the faces of others? This is the third place we have changed!
I almost sold myself to that vengeful navy boy for your **** captain. Otherwise, I still shrink in the New World and dare not go back? “
suddenly.
A white seagull flying over their heads suddenly swooped down.
Fluttering–
fell lightly on the stringer of the rear mast.
咚!
spit out a gold coin of Gugashi, and smashed it down at the feet of William Ironbone.
in his face of seeing a ghost, he speaks slowly:
”Good day, Mr. William! I finally found you. You promised me to do three things. I shouldn’t forget it, right?”
