Extraordinary Sailing

"Hahaha, okay!

The people who went to 'Newing Port' didn't change much, but they were much richer and richer. This is what you said, so I'm not being polite! "

It is naturally impossible for Milan, who is rich and wealthy at home, to miss a meal or two of delicious food and wine. He is satisfied with Ivan's attitude.

Although I have completed the qualitative change from "Divist" to "Prophet" in the past six months, the level of knights I have been suppressing has also been raised, and both broke through to the second level, and now I am both an official wizard and an official knight.

To achieve this kind of achievement on the road to extraordinary at only twenty years old, even in the circle of rich and powerful children with good conditions, can be called a "genius" comment!

But today's Aiwen is not the same as before.

Although the extraordinary level has not changed much due to the short time, he has already joined the most powerful and popular "Alchemy School" at present, laying a solid foundation for the path of the wizard.

In terms of military career, even after joining the army for just one year, he unexpectedly became a powerful captain, crossing the threshold that many school officers could not cross in their entire lives.

Although major officers who are formal knights are qualified to compete for the post of captain of a warship, but because there are more wolves and less meat, the selection of captains has always been the best of the best. Under the same strength and credit, the older and more experienced school officials usually have the advantage.

The youngest captain before Ivan was already twenty-four years old!

Therefore, the position of Aiwen as captain is hard to come by.

Although it is only a Tier 6 ship for the time being, it already has the most precious autonomy, and it is already a two-level existence compared with ordinary school officers.

It was even rumored that he was appreciated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which means reaching the sky in one step.

Seeing that he is a rising star, not to mention that he already has a good relationship, arranging a good boat is not only his own favor, but also a further investment from the general in the family! Why not do it?

Ai Wen laughed and said that he had no shortage of money for the time being, and after choosing a place randomly, he "dengdengdeng" took the lead to board the sixth-tier warship "Conch".

"On behalf of Third Fleet Command, I announce that Major Irwin Garriott is hereby appointed as the new Captain of the Conch.

I hope that all officers and soldiers will work together to fulfill the glorious mission of the Royal Navy! Contribute your strength to the prosperity and strength of the kingdom! "

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

After convening all the officers and soldiers to line up, Milan, as a representative, read out the official appointment document of the Fleet Command.

Under normal circumstances, when a captain assumes a new post, no matter how simplified the process is, at least one civilian colonel must be sent to participate. But this is just a formality, as long as Ivan himself doesn't care, no one will say anything more.

The kingdom's naval management system is perfect, with Milan, an officer of the logistics department, leading the battle, the handover process is very smooth. Especially under the premise that the previous captain had left his post, there was not even a single noise on the ship at this time.

Let Ai Wen, who is used to watching the movie and TV series of power struggle in his previous life and is still preparing to take office as a new official, seems to have punched in the empty space.

But it's normal to think about it. I have an appointment from the upper echelon of the fleet, extraordinary strength, and the honor of being a "graduate" of the Royal Naval Academy. I'm afraid it's not a stick that dares to jump out at this time.

Even if this kind of person boarded the boat, he would have been "accidentally" pushed into the sea long ago!

All captain officers from the navigator, steering officer, rigging chief, gunnery chief, gunnery chief, first mate, second mate, and third mate warmly welcomed Captain Aiwen's new appointment, and expressed that they would actively cooperate with the new chief. Work.

It's just that the boatswain left with the previous captain and is temporarily vacant.

But it's just as well.

"Warrant Officer Gary, act as the bosun first!"

"Obey! Your Excellency, Captain!"

Following Aiwen to the post, Gary, who did not make a sound along the way, came out to salute, which should be done with awe.

Before Ivan set off for "Newin Port", Gary had already been promoted to a naval warrant officer. After half a year of experience, he has become more stable and reliable, and he has tempered himself into a qualified naval officer with blood and fire.

Of course, it is also an excellent deputy at this time.

After returning to Gabred, Ivan just mentioned it to him in passing, and Gary gave up the possible brighter future on the Geer ship without hesitation. Choose to take office with Aiwen and start from scratch on a new battleship.

Ai Wen naturally reciprocated, and relied heavily on him.

"It's good to break up!"

Wait until the crowd gathered to welcome the new captain dispersed, and bid farewell to Milan who had completed the mission. Aiwen stood alone on the stern building overlooking the entire ship, holding the wooden guardrail with both hands, and let out a soft breath:

"Heh, this is my class."

The "Conch" with a very unpretentious name is a three-masted clipper, although it is the lowest of all six-tier warships. But judging from the actual size, the overall length of the ship is 38 meters (meters), which is not much different from the lower limit of 39 meters for a fifth-tier ship.

It's just that the number of artillery on a single-deck ship is only 20, and there is still a significant difference in firepower compared with a real fifth-tier ship. In addition, the normal capacity is 195 people, but the actual capacity is 120 people, and there are also shortages in terms of personnel.

In fact, at the beginning of the design of the sixth-tier ship, it was positioned as a messenger and escort, so there is no need to expect too much of its direct combat effectiveness.

Besides, Aiwen didn't intend to be tied to this sixth-tier ship for the rest of his life.

After all, after the sequence of the Navy's sixth-tier ships, there are only brigs, sloops, light cruisers, etc., which have less than 20 ship-mounted artillery, and are not popular at all.

However, the level is low and the cost is cheap. About 5,000 Golden Lions can build a brand-new Tier VI ship equipped with artillery.

Obviously, even if Aiwen had the financial resources, he never thought of that.

A new ship with strict craftsmanship takes three to six years from material selection to completion. If you are too impatient, the service life of about 50 years may be flooded in less than five years, and even a serious wave may be destroyed. into the sea.

Not to mention whether this plan is feasible.

At least Aiwen is confident that at that time, it is impossible for him to put a mere Tier 6 ship in his eyes

Put your eyes back on the "Conch".

Of course, this warship cannot be a new ship that has just been launched, but the service period is within ten years, eight and a half years to be precise, and it is in good condition.

As Milan said, he really took care of himself.

Especially when his appointment broke many records in the navy (the youngest captain in the history of the navy at the age of 16, the captain who was promoted just after joining the army for one year, etc.), it is even conceivable that there must be objections from conservative high-level officials. Under the circumstances, it is even more commendable.

Ai Wen felt that if it weren't for the appreciation of Her Royal Highness, even if he made great contributions, even if he didn't care so much about the traditional naval department, it would be impossible for him to directly become the captain of the real power.

Compared with the benefits, Ivan felt more pressure on his body. If you can't make achievements, don't say that Her Royal Highness, who pushed you up, has a dull face, even you can't forgive yourself, right?

Well, as a standard "princeling", Ai Wen said that we can't afford to lose that person!

At this moment, the footsteps of several people were heard on the stairs leading from the poop to the deck. But just listening to the footsteps, Ivan was keenly aware of the hesitation of the footstep owners.

Looking back with great interest, I waited for a while before seeing the four sailors on the ship walking up the poop humbly.

"Your Excellency, Captain!" Discovering that Ai Wen had already looked over, the four of them no longer cared about their worries, and lined up in front of him, standing at attention and saluting.

As the representative of the four, Fleck took a step forward and stammered: "Your Excellency Captain, we"

"Fleck, Barrow, Brown, Baldwin, long time no see!" Facing their fearful and close eyes, Ivan looked as usual, and casually called each of them by name.

With just one sentence, the eye circles of the four people instantly turned red, and crystals were already rolling in the eye sockets.

At the time of recruit training, there were at least hundreds of recruits who learned swordsmanship from Aiwen at the same time. They never thought that Aiwen, a descendant of nobles and a swordsmanship instructor, could not only recognize him, but also call him by his name accurately.

The feeling of being recognized and valued surged in my heart.

Originally, I wanted to explain the origin and relationship, but now I can't say anything, what else can I say?

It's totally worth it to be able to serve under this officer!
