Chapter 315 Famous (Second Update)
On the second day, the weather was clear and cloudless.
The ocean-going fleet is divided into two.
Alwin’s Cape Storm, two Level 5 ships, and fifteen merchant ships will sail all the way south, passing five colonies, and finally Cape Storm will head to the naval base to the south” Dearborn” switched.
The Endeavour, another Level 4 ship, will travel north along the coast with another Level 5 ship and ten merchant ships to the northernmost naval base, Fort George. .
“Goodbye, Captain Robbins, the garrison mission went well!”
“Thank you! Captain Alwin, you can write to me anytime during the half year, although I’m about to Taking a back seat, but the experience of several decades is still useful. hahaha ”
Standing on the dock, the two captains each led a group of officers on board to say goodbye to each other, from the old continent to the new Continent’s two-month voyage, the two sides also have a good friendship.
“Okay, I will. By the way, this is a little thought of mine, please accept it! Thank you Captain Robbins for your care along the way.”
Finally After the salute, Alwin handed Robbins a small wooden box.
There are several bottles of “healing medicine” made by Alwin. Because of the addition of extraordinary materials, it has an immediate magical effect on ordinary trauma and large area bleeding.
In a new continent full of disputes, this is a rare medicine for ordinary soldiers who may be injured at any time. But for Alwin, who can boil low-level potions in one pot, it’s nothing.
even more how, to mix in the system, especially to a place far away from the native place where you are unfamiliar, of course you have to make more friends.
“Hahaha, Captain Alwin is really generous.
It just so happens that I have already used up my quota for this year, and you can come to me anytime you have time, and I will recommend you a few The new continent has a lot of energy.
Don’t look at Old Luo Bins trying nothing and accomplishing nothing, he has not made any great contributions, but I still have confidence in the ability to make friends.
Even if you want to go deep inland, I can help you find friends from the indigenous tribes.”
After finally hearing what he wanted to hear, Alwin smiled and said goodbye to him. .
I have made up my mind that I should visit often to clean up all the information, knowledge, and connections that the old officer had hidden in his mind.
It is not difficult for him to master the advanced productivity (various medicines) in the extraordinary field.
He had a hunch that in the current tense situation, in the new continent, he was impossible, and he was just a passer-by. Know yourself and know your enemy to fight every battle without defeat.
even more how, if you want to go out and explore the vast unknown world in the future, the new continent is just a starting point.
Then the battleship semaphore.
“Sail! Double column behind me!”
With the “Cape Storm” as the lead ship, the fleet started again, the snow-white sails were full, and the bow was split open The waves gradually accelerated.
In fact, the total area of the eleven colonies in the new continent is almost the same as that of Pharretis, and the coastline as the border is certainly not short.
The colonies on the Eastern Sea coast have stable northeast trade winds throughout the year (monsoons vary seasonally), from the northernmost Fordmont to the southernmost far sail collar, if not staying downwind The time is about fifteen days.
If it is not necessary to avoid the huge promontory protruding from the Black Sea to the north of the new continent, and the royal family stipulates that the Imperial Family colony of Thomastown must be docked first, in fact, sailing from north to south is the fastest way s Choice.
Alwin led a majority of eighteen ships along the coastline southward.
Because the most prosperous “yellow golden sea” in the whole new continent is from the far sail leading to the south, and it is also the only way for all merchant ships to return to their home countries from the new continent.
As it should be by rights, this has become the most intense and chaotic place for all influence competition. Therefore, the kingdom has the most naval forces and merchant ships stationed here.
“Captain Alwin! Thank you for your escort, and welcome to the Chamber of Commerce at Elrod Tobacco!”
“Your Excellency Captain! You can come to see me whenever it’s convenient for you I, Donglunzhi company has strong strength and is very sincere in long-term cooperation.”
“”
During the voyage, there are constantly merchant ships calling at the port and leaving the fleet, most of which are merchant ships. The owner or master will leave Alwin with a small gift, a Chamber of Commerce VIP Card and the like.
This is all convention, not worth mentioning compared to the taxes they paid to the kingdom, Alwin one after another was then shared among the officers on board.
The large force did not stop, and the number of merchant ships under Alwin’s escort continued to decrease.
However, there was not a single pirate raid until near the southernmost colony, Far Sail.
In fact, this is quite normal.
Although the number of pirates in the “yellow golden sea” ranks first in the world, it is not strong enough to impact the escort fleet consisting of one battleship and two cruise ships.
Alwin didn’t pay any attention to seeing pirate ships passing by in the distance through his seabird reconnaissance network. Because as long as there are still merchant ships at sea, the pirates will only cut off one crop and grow another crop.
The thing that can fundamentally eliminate the profession of pirates on a large scale may be the change of the times, the technological revolution, such as the steam ironclad that may appear in the future, or the unification of the whole sea.
Impossible alone is because of the naval artillery.
Finally, eight days after the two teams were separated, Alwin sent the last two merchant ships to Far Sail Harbor.
Received parting gifts from two merchant ships.
“Cape Storm” and the two cruise ships did not enter the port together, but turned their bows and sailed towards the sea.
“Fort Dearborn” was an island-based naval base that was not under the jurisdiction of any of the eleven colonies, who were accountable only to the Queen.
The main body is a large octagonal bastion that can accommodate 5,000 garrison troops at the same time.
With an excellent sheltered deep-water port and large tracts of land for cultivation, the resident navy is dominated by a quasi-Legendary battleship “Splendid” and two Level 2 ships.
Although the sub-Level 1 warships are frequently rotated, they also maintain a navy of at least 4,000 people and double the elite army all year round, and even this is only enough to maintain the stability of the colony.
Cooperating with the Far Sail Territory ruled by the Marquis Elmore family, the kingdom has paid a huge price to extend to the “Golden Sea”, which is not just in name only, but also in reality. antenna.
At present, their duty is to ensure the stability of the colony and the smooth passage of air routes, and ultimately ensure that the interests of the kingdom are not violated.
Of course.
Considering the status quo that the “yellow golden sea” pirates are everywhere and even Cyrus can’t be cleared, this can only be a good wish, even if every merchant ship is equipped with a warship, it is impossible. The sharpening knives to stop the pirates
“Finally here!”
The three warships used one day to complete the exchange of defenses.
The base officers, led by Lieutenant General Gustav and the prospective Legendary battleship Captain Rear Adm. Demond Brand, the highest-ranking military commander of this base and even the entire new continent, are the three The officers and soldiers of the battleship held a large-scale reception banquet.
There is no shortage of all kinds of food and wine here, whether it is the local or the new continent. Obviously, in order to maintain the battle strength of this colony’s strongest military force, the logistics is fully guaranteed.
Your Excellency Lieutenant General did not stay much, and after simply expressing his welcome, he let Major General Demon preside over the banquet, leaving space for the youngsters.
“The beef is good! The pork knuckle is good! The cheese and mushroom soup is also good!”
Alwin, whose appetite grows with his physical fitness, is gorge oneself with Gary, didn’t expect a banquet Major General Demon, who has always been the absolute focus in China, took the initiative to find him.
He held his hand with great enthusiasm.
“Captain Alwin! We’ve known you for a long time, and today is the last time we meet. I’m going to serve the soldiers and crew on the new continent, thank you for your invention.
‘Scurvy’ has always been a big problem for us because the disease costs more people than war damage!
Thanks to your medical solutions, now this strange The disease is almost gone! You have saved countless lives!”
Alwin clinks glasses with the young general who looks very young, probably in his early thirties. The influence of his previous unintentional “invention” has gradually emerged.
The number of seafarers who have benefited from this “invention” and have been spared from the disease, and the indirect influence is obviously far more far-reaching than I imagined.
Just like this.
Even though he is new here, he has been highly praised by one of the chief officers of the base, the “quasi-Legendary battleship” captain, Rear Admiral Kingdom! There is even a taste of equal treatment.
This kind of treatment is far beyond the so-called “the youngest captain of the kingdom” and “Navy Rising Star”.
“Kimchi, malt, or adding lemon juice directly to the rum are all great ideas.
The vegetable called “bean sprouts” is a good idea, even in a water-poor environment.
It’s a bit difficult to operate on board, but as long as you get fresh water, you can get fresh veggies in just a few days.
I’m already in love with this veggie! And you didn’t notice that it was at the banquet today.
Are there several dishes made with this vegetable? hahaha ”
Alwin also followed laughed and toasted the Major General:
“The general is too famous, I didn’t even think of it as a part-time Potion The Master’s present at the right time, will finally have such an impact!”
With this good start.
He quickly got along with the officers at the base and became the second only to major general star at the dinner.
And in conversation.
Alwin also learned that Rear Admiral Demond Brand also attended the Imperial Family Naval Academy, and coincidentally, he, like Alwin, graduated first in all subjects among the same students. of!
The relationship between the two people has also risen to a higher level in an instant.
“As long as you are in the new continent, come to me no matter what!”
When the Major General patted his chest and said this sentence, Alwin was slightly uneasy when he first arrived. Feeling, went most of the time immediately.
I have automatically made up the second half of the major general’s sentence: “There is no such thing as my injustice”!
At this point, Alwin also realized the benefits of fame more and more.
No wonder so many heroes can’t escape the prison of the word “fame and fortune”, because it is really fragrant!
