Extraordinary Sailing

The next day, the weather was clear and cloudless.

The ocean-going fleet is split in two.

Aiwen's "Storm Horn", two fifth-tier ships and 15 merchant ships will sail all the way south, passing through five colonies, and finally "Storm Horn" will go to the southern naval base "Fort Dearben" to change defense.

The other fourth-tier ship "Endeavour" will go north along the coastline with another fifth-tier ship and ten merchant ships, and finally head to the northernmost naval base "Fort George".

"Captain Robbins, goodbye, the garrison mission went well!"

"Thank you! Captain Aiwen, you can write to me at any time in the past six months. Although I am about to retire to the second line, decades of experience are still useful. Hahaha"

Standing on the pier, the two captains each led a group of officers on board to bid farewell to each other. After the two-month voyage from the old continent to the new continent, the two sides have developed a good friendship.

"Okay, I will. By the way, this is my heart, please accept it! Thank you Captain Robbins for your care all the way."

After saluting each other at last, Ivan handed Robbins a small wooden box.

Inside are several bottles of "healing potion" made by Aiwen. Because of the addition of extraordinary materials, it has an immediate and magical effect on common trauma and large-scale bleeding.

In the New World full of disputes, this is a rare medicine for ordinary soldiers who may be injured at any time. But for Aiwen, who can cook low-level potions in pots, it's nothing.

What's more, if you are mixed in the system, especially if you are far away from the local people and unfamiliar places, of course you need to make more friends.

"Hahaha, Captain Aiwen is really generous.

It just so happens that I have already used up my quota for this year, so you can come to me whenever you have time, and I will introduce you to a few friends with a lot of energy in the New World.

Although the old Robbins is mediocre and has not made any great contributions, I still have confidence in his ability to make friends.

Even if you want to go deep into the interior, I can help you find friends in the indigenous tribes. "

After finally hearing what he wanted to hear, Ai Wen smiled and said goodbye to him.

He had already made up his mind that he would visit frequently to clean up all the information, knowledge, and contacts that the old officer had hidden in his mind.

It is not difficult for him who has mastered the advanced productive forces (various potions) in the extraordinary field to do this.

He had a premonition that under the current tense situation, it was impossible for him to be just a passer-by in the New World. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy could we win all battles.

What's more, if you want to go out and explore the vast unknown world in the future, the New World is just a starting point.

Then the battleship raised its semaphore.

"Set sail! Tandem behind me!"

With the "Storm Horn" as the leading ship, the fleet started again, the snow-white sails were full, and the bow of the ship split the waves and gradually accelerated.

In fact, the total area of ​​these eleven colonies in the New World is almost the same as that of Phalatis, and the coastline as the border is certainly not short.

In the colonies on the east coast, there is a year-round stable northeast trade wind (the monsoon changes seasonally). From the northernmost Fortmont to the southernmost Farail Collar, the time to go downwind with the wind is about 15 days if you don’t stop.

If it weren't for the need to avoid the huge horns that protrude toward the Black Sea in the north of the New World, and the royal family's regulations that the royal colony of Tomstown must first dock at the port, in fact, sailing all the way from north to south is the fastest choice.

Aiwen led the majority of eighteen ships, all the way south along the coastline.

Because from the southernmost Yuanfan collar to the south is the most prosperous "Golden Sea" in the entire New World, and it is also the only way for all merchant ships to return to their motherland from the New World.

Naturally, this place has become the most intense and chaotic place where the various forces compete for each other. Therefore, the kingdom has the largest number of naval forces and merchant ships stationed here.

"Captain Aiwen! Thank you for your escort, and welcome to the Elaude Tobacco Chamber of Commerce!"

"Your Excellency, Captain! You can come to me at any time at your convenience. The Donglun branch company has strong strength and is very sincere and long-term cooperation."

""

During the voyage, merchant ships kept berthing at the port and left the fleet. Most of the merchant ship owners or principals would leave some small gifts, chamber of commerce VIP cards and other things for Aiwen.

This is all customary, and it is nothing compared to the taxes they pay to the kingdom. Aiwen laughed and distributed them to the officers on the ship.

The large troops did not stay any longer, and the number of merchant ships under Aiwen's escort was also decreasing.

However, until the Far Sail Collar, a colony near the southernmost tip, did not encounter a single pirate raid.

In fact, this is also very normal.

Although the number of pirates in the "Golden Sea" is the largest in the world, they are not strong enough to attack the escort fleet consisting of a battleship and two cruisers.

Even if Aiwen saw a pirate ship passing by in the distance through his seabird detection network, he didn't pay any attention to it. Because as long as there are merchant ships navigating at sea, things like pirates will only cut off one stubble and grow another.

Things that can fundamentally eliminate the profession of pirates on a large scale may be changes in the times, technological revolutions, such as steam ironclad ships that may appear in the future, or the unification of the entire sea.

It can't be because of the naval artillery alone.

Finally, eight days after the two teams were separated, Aiwen sent the last two merchant ships to Yuanfan Port.

Received parting gifts from two merchant ships.

The "Cape of the Storm" and the two cruise ships did not enter the port together, but turned around and headed towards the sea.

"Fort Dilburn" is a naval base built on an island, not under the jurisdiction of any of the eleven colonies, who are only responsible 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 a large area of ​​land available for planting, the resident navy is dominated by a quasi-legendary battleship "Brilliant" and two second-class ships.

Although the next-level warships are often rotated, they maintain a navy of at least 4,000 people and double the elite army all year round. Even so, it is only enough to maintain the stability of the colony.

Cooperating with the Yuanfan collar ruled by the Marquis of Aymore family, it is the tentacles extended by the Kingdom to the Golden Sea, which is worthy of the name "Golden Sea", at a huge price.

At present, their duty is to ensure the stability of the colony and smooth shipping routes, and ultimately ensure that the interests belonging to the kingdom are not violated.

certainly.

Considering the fact that pirates are everywhere in the "Golden Sea" and even Cyrus can't get rid of them, this can only be a good wish. Even if every merchant ship is equipped with a warship, it is impossible to stop the pirates from sharpening their knives.

"finally reached!"

After the three warships completed the transfer of defense in one day.

The officers of the base headed by Lieutenant General Gustav and the quasi-legendary battleship captain Demond Brand, the highest military officer in this base and even the entire New World, held a grand ceremony for the officers and soldiers of the three warships. It's a large reception banquet.

There is no shortage of all kinds of food and wine here, whether it is the local or the New World. Obviously, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the strongest military force in the colony, the logistics are fully guaranteed.

His Excellency the Lieutenant General didn't stay any longer, and after a brief welcome, he asked Major General De Meng to host the banquet, leaving room for the young people.

“The beef is good! The pork knuckle is good! The cheese and mushroom soup is also good!”

Ivan, whose appetite grew along with his physical fitness, was having a feast with Gary. Unexpectedly, Major General De Meng, who had always been the absolute focus of the banquet, took the initiative to find him.

She took his hand very warmly.

"Captain Aiwen! We have been famous for you for a long time, and today I finally saw you. I would like to thank you for your invention on behalf of the soldiers and crew stationed in the New World.

'Scurvy' has always been a big problem for us, because the human loss caused by this disease is higher than the battle damage!

Thanks to your medical solutions, this strange disease has almost disappeared now! You saved countless lives! "

Ai Wen lightly clinked glasses with this young general who looked very young, probably only in his early thirties. The influence of my previous unintentional "invention" has gradually emerged.

The number of sailors who benefited from this "invention" and were protected from the disease, as well as the indirect influence, are obviously far more far-reaching than I imagined.

Just like this time.

Even though he is a newcomer, he has already been highly praised by Rear Admiral Wang Guo, the captain of one of the chief officers of the base, the "quasi-legendary battleship"! There is even a taste of equal treatment.

This kind of treatment far surpasses the so-called "youngest captain of the kingdom" and "nova of the navy".

"Pickles, malt or simply adding lemon juice to rum are all great ideas.

Although the vegetable called "bean sprouts" is difficult to operate on a ship that lacks fresh water, as long as it is supplied with fresh water, it only takes a few days to get fresh vegetable supplements.

I have fallen in love with this vegetable! And haven't you noticed that there are several delicacies made with this vegetable at today's banquet? Hahaha"

Ai Wen also smiled and toasted the major general:

"The general's reputation is too high, and I never thought that being a part-time pharmacist at the right time would have such an impact in the end!"

Get off to a good start.

He quickly mingled with the base officers and became the second most popular star at the dinner party after the major general.

And in conversation.

Ivan also learned that this Rear Admiral Demond Brand also studied at the Royal Naval Academy. What's more, he, like Ivan, graduated first in all subjects among the students of the same period!

Between sympathy and sympathy, the relationship between the two people has also risen to a higher level in an instant.

"As long as you are in the New World, come to me no matter what you need!"

When the major general patted his chest and said these words, Aiwen's slight uneasy feeling when he first arrived immediately disappeared for the most part.

I have automatically filled in the second half of the major general's sentence: "There is nothing wrong with me"!

So far, Aiwen has 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!
