Chapter 339: A Strange Sea Ship

Not long after returning to the principality, Alan issued an order to immediately summon Tony, the head of the Registrar Office, to the palace hall.

Not long after, a guard with a sword at his waist and a spear in his hand quickly walked in, came to the main hall and knelt down and said, "Lord Duke!

"Order him to come in!" Alan said lightly, sitting on top of the main hall.

"Yes!" the guard bowed his head and stepped back quickly.

Outside the main hall, as the head of the household registration department, Tony thought about it head-on, after he got the news that the Duke had urgently summoned him, he immediately cleaned up and hurriedly entered the palace, not having time to think about the reason why the Duke summoned him.

If it is because he has made a lot of merits, the Duke is to reward himself, or if he has some special task to be entrusted to him, so it is good to come to him, but he is afraid that he has made some mistake and does not know it, which will cause the Duke to be angry, and then immediately summon himself to the palace, then he will be miserable.

Thinking of this, Tony's face turned pale.

"Director Tony!

At this moment, the shouts of the guards pulled the distracted Tony back.

"Director Tony, Lord Duke ordered you to go in!" the guard said with a smile when he saw Tony return to normal.

"Hmm—" Tony nodded, didn't think much more, and walked briskly inside.

As soon as Tony entered the main hall, he saw the Duke sitting in the hall, and then found the old man Serxa standing in the hall, but Tony had not seen Serxa, and after taking a look, he withdrew his gaze.

"Lord Duke!" shouted Tony as he walked briskly to the center of the hall and bowed.

"Hmm!" Alan bowed.

"Lord Duke, I wonder what is the important matter of summoning Tony here?" Tony asked tentatively.

"Tony, this is Mr. Serxa!" Alan said with a smile as he looked at Serxa to the side.

Tony said Allen's gaze, and turned his gaze to Serxa on his right, he just glanced at it, and he didn't observe it carefully, but now he found that the old man next to him was missing half of his right leg, and his right arm was holding an inky stick, clinging to his body.

"This Mr. Syxar is a well-known shipmaker, and now he is also a member of my Red Dragon Principality, and he will help the Red Dragon Principality build sea ships in the future!" Alan continued.

When Tony heard this, his heart was relieved, it seemed that the Duke was not looking for him to ask for guilt, and then smiled at Serxa, which was regarded as a greeting.

Then Tony stood there silently, silently waiting for the Duke to speak, after all, the Duke had not yet said why he had been summoned, but he guessed that it was probably related to the Mr. Texesa next to him.

"However, due to the complexity of the process of building a sea vessel, it is impossible for Mr. Syxar to complete it alone, so it requires the cooperation of a large number of carpenters, and then your registry office needs to compile a detailed list of carpenters in the country, and assist Mr. Syxar in completing the recruitment of carpenters!" Alan ordered.

"Yes, Lord Duke!" said Tony.

Looking at Tony who had withdrawn, Alan secretly estimated in his heart that now as long as the carpenters were found, coupled with the experienced shipmaker of Sykesa, the Red Dragon Principality would soon be able to try to make sea ships.

Once the sea ships can be manufactured in batches, it will definitely have a great effect on the sea trade of the Red Dragon Principality, and with its own ability to manufacture sea ships, the Red Dragon Principality does not need to go to the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom to buy sea ships, which is constrained by the Austro-Lunar Kingdom in this regard.

But after a while, Allen's brows suddenly frowned, he ignored a very important thing, if the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom found out that the Red Dragon Principality had built a ship, and it was very similar to the sea ships of the Kuroshio Kingdom, would it have an association, and then he knew that Syxa was taken away by the Red Dragon Principality!

After all, the Red Dragon Principality, a newly established principality, suddenly showed the ability to make sea ships, and the sea ships made were still in the style of the Kuroshio Kingdom, coupled with the disappearance of Sykesa, it was difficult for the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom not to think about it.

After noticing the problem, Allen's face couldn't help but become serious, once this matter is not handled well, it is very likely to attract the hostility of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom, which is very detrimental to the future development of the Red Dragon Principality.

Alan rubbed his head with some distress, at this time, the Red Dragon Principality should not be carried hard with the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom, in terms of army, economy, territory, strong, influence and other aspects, the Red Dragon Principality and the Austro-Zodiac Kingdom are more than a step behind.

After thinking for a long time, until it slowly got dark, Alan hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

The sea ship still needs to be built, but he plans to move the manufacturing site to Heilan Island, which is a bit time-consuming and labor-intensive in terms of materials, but it greatly reduces the probability of being discovered when the sea ship is manufactured.

At the same time, Allen also decided to postpone the commercial application of the construction of sea vessels, and use them for military and ocean exploration first.

A naval school was established on the island of Heilan, and a large number of seagoing ships were built, which could be used to train naval soldiers.

In addition to training the navy, the sea ships manufactured can also be used for ocean exploration and development, just like the Snake Dance Island, with a large number of sea ships, the transportation capacity has increased greatly, and a large number of people can be transported into the Snake Dance Island in a short time, and the development of the Red Dragon Principality on the Snake Dance Island will be greatly accelerated.

Alan remembered that there were four islands he had chosen, and until now he had only explored the Snake Dance Island, so there were still three islands waiting for the Red Dragon Principality.

In the past, when ships were scarce, Alan could only choose to come one by one, but if the number of ships at sea increased significantly, Alan could explore multiple islands at the same time.

......

The sun had completely sunk into the western edge of the sea, and the sky had already darkened, and the purple moonlight was lingering and falling into the wide waves, making the sea even more purple and dark.

At this time, on the surface of the deep sea, which is not many nautical miles away from Heilan Island, a huge black shadow is constantly swaying with the rolling waves.

If you look closely, it is a huge ship about thirty meters long, lined with purple moonlight, you can clearly see the three tall masts on the ship, one of which has been interrupted, and the other two masts have a few sails full of holes, which are weakly agitated under the sea breeze.

The sails seem to be embroidered with patterns, but they are now unrecognizable due to so many breaks.

There were faint lights flickering on the ship, and there was a covered oil lamp hanging from the bow and stern of the ship, and at this time, many figures were standing on the deck of the ship.

Most of these people were naked, tall and low, thin and fat, but their skin was very dark, and under the oil lamp, it was not much whiter than the black and gloomy surface of the sea ship at their feet.
