Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Seeing that the two sides of the conflict were at a stalemate and were about to cause a bloody case, in the corner of the tavern, a man suddenly stood up and said:

"That's it! All right! People who drink a lot go out to blow the wind and sober up. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) Your Excellency Captain, how many sailors do you need? ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao moved his gaze to the dimly lit corner of the bar, this benevolent brother who took the initiative to talk to him had a strange style that resembled the shape of an old-world mohican, and his darker complexion than ordinary people seemed to imply that he had some kind of alien blood.

Looking at this stranger up and down, Luo Zhengdao's face softened, and he said:

"I'm going to recruit one hundred and fifty sailors, and more is better."

The rise of the Goblin Empire in the main 6 was too short, just like a stone thrown into a pond, the ripples caused by it had not yet fully spread to the entire surface of the water, and the impact of this great event was in the ascendant. Realizing that the danger of the rise of the former old enemy goblins is extremely great, the Yaling Empire and the Elven Federation have increased their vigilance at the same time, and the two have tacitly agreed to implement a series of trade embargo measures against the newly changed lord 6, and the goblin empire is not to be outdone, and in turn has also implemented a trade blockade on the two old enemies, prohibiting the outflow of strategic materials.

People who are really capable do not need to rely on relationships to eat, no matter when and where, excellent sailors will never worry about finding a job, the Yaling Empire has always boasted of the superiority of pureblood, and the Royal Navy fleet is also full of Yaling soldiers, and does not accept foreign sailors to board the ship at all.

In the Elven Federation, where the social atmosphere is relatively relaxed and active, the requirements of the Federal Military are not so dogmatic and rigid, even those half-elven sailors with human blood, or even pure-blooded human sailors, as long as they meet the enlistment selection standards of the Federal Navy, they can do well in the Elven Fleet, at least in the soldier class, they will not encounter any transparent ceiling restrictions. Therefore, the recent wave of unemployment that has swept the sea of stars, and all the sailors who are better in Su zhì have gone to the Elven Federation to eat military salaries, and the remaining sailors are not as easy to recruit as Luo Zhengdao expected.

This dark-skinned middle-aged man with Moxi's dry head and smooth and vigorous muscles all over his body, giving people the feeling of a resting cheetah, got up and came to Luo Zhengdao, he smiled confidently, and said:

"Hehe, Your Excellency Captain, you need too many sailors, it's hard to find them in Ambon Port!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao smiled slightly, waved his hand disappreciatively and said:

"I can't find it here, I'll go to the next port to continue recruiting, there will always be people willing to get on board."

Seeing that Luo Zhengdao was so confident, and looking at the clothes on his body seemed to prove that his background was not low, this mixed-race man with the head of Moxigan bowed to Luo Zhengdao and said:

"Your Excellency, my name is Zola Hegel, the first mate of the former privateer Golden Deer, the ship I once served unfortunately sank on the reef in the Sea of Light for three months, and now neither I nor my men are working."

Luo Zhengdao was not idle on the voyage from Tahuna Island to Selan Island, he had to make up lessons with the half-elf tutor every day, learning culture on the one hand, and making up for social common sense on the other, his knowledge of the new world was much better than when he had just crossed it, so that he would not understand what the other party meant.

The so-called privateers in the New World are actually pirates, but the neutral word privateer sounds relatively pleasant, and armed privateers are also a useful supplement to the navies of major countries, and they are the foundation for many small countries to maintain regional sea power. The privateers of the New World were placed in the military system, and their status and role were not much different from those of the Coast Guard, Coast Guard, Fishery Administration, and other paramilitary organizations in the Old World, specializing in handling trivial matters that were inconvenient for the regular army or disdained to meddle in management. I can't say it, Zola's introduction is deeply rooted in the essence of the old world Confucian sage Kong Yiji's set of words of "stealing books is not stealing", and he easily washed his past with one mouth.

The so-called what kind of mountain to sing and what song to sing, Luo Zhengdao is not the kind of moral gentleman who has a strict habit of cleanliness, and he has long passed the age of an angry young man who is filled with righteous indignation at every turn when he encounters something unfair.

At this time, a meaningful smile appeared on Luo Zhengdao's still somewhat childish face, and he nodded at Zola Hegel and said:

"Nice to meet you, First Mate, how many of you are there?"

It is normal for the unemployed to look forward to returning to work, and Zola Hegel spares no effort to promote himself, and he does not seem to be worried that Luo Zhengdao will suspect whether he has other plans for taking a ticket of soldiers on board, and says bluntly:

"Plus I have sixty-three men in all, all of them seasoned sailors, and as long as it is a job on the ship, there is nothing they can't do."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded with satisfaction, and now his identity is an exiled nobleman, the captain of the Xinke privateer. Even if he has never experienced similar incidents in person, he has seen a lot of film and television novels and other related information in the old world in the past, and Luo Zhengdao has no shortage of operational experience in this area that can be used for reference. Attracting a handful of people who have become a self-contained system into their own system is a double-edged sword, if used well, it is a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, and if it is not done well, it is an out-and-out suicide weapon. The benefit of containing these former pirates is to help them quickly form combat effectiveness, and it is probably not a problem in terms of tacit cooperation between personnel, but it is worth worrying that they will come together to confront their captain, or even find an opportunity to start an armed rebellion.

Many times, life choices are always in a dilemma, maybe one step forward is foggy, but one step back is definitely happiness? No, that's probably the abyss. The bad shape forces you to choose one of the two bad prospects that is relatively not so bad, and this is life!

A few days ago, Luo Zhengdao was still trembling under the goblin's butcher's knife, fighting bloodily in order to survive, he was not forgetful to the point of Alzheimer's, so quickly he left behind the cruel methods of the goblin pursuit of the fleet, the tragic naval battle, the terrifying scene of stumps and broken arms on the deck and organs flying all over the sky often appeared in his dreams.

Needless to say, a human exile with an aristocratic background like Will Needham is the top danger that the Second Goblin Empire will want to get rid of as soon as possible, comparable to Uncle Lamp who has been hunted down by bald eagles in the old world for ten years. Luo Zhengdao unfortunately fell into the hands of those green skins who were no better than those cannibals, and it was the ancestors who were not dismantled on the spot and chopped into meat sauce to chop eight pieces into meat sauce, and it was wishful thinking to want to live. Since the goblin pursuit fleet can go on an expedition to capture Tahuna Island, a colony far away from the main 6, the probability of them continuing to pursue and kill is not low, and Luo Zhengdao needs to find a relatively safe way out in the contradiction of choosing the lesser of two evils.

Luo Zhengdao's eyes gradually became firm after a short hesitation, and he secretly made up his mind and said:

"Okay, Zola, I want you and your people."

Hearing this, the newcomer Zola Hegel did not meet Luo Zhengdao at all, and he said very bluntly:

"Your Excellency Captain, let's talk about the dividend ratio!"

The traverser can only be regarded as half-aware of the situation in the new world, Luo Zhengdao glanced at Vina with confusion, and saw that the other party shook his head, he understood what this meant, and it seemed that he could only decide how to solve this difficult problem by himself. Regardless of the question, it can be known that a leader who can't make his own decisions in case of trouble will be regarded as incompetent by his subordinates, incompetence is definitely one of the biggest shame labels, Luo Zhengdao can't stand the strange eyes of being treated as a waste snack and a puppet, in a word, this is called love of face and death!

"Dividends? What do you say? ”

"According to the ancient pirate rule, all the spoils of war were divided equally, and the captain was allowed to take five shares, as did the quartermaster, and the first mate took three shares. The boatswain, gunner, and navigator each received two copies, the doctor and the carpenter took one and a half portions, and the rest of the sailors received one each, as usual. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao laughed angrily at this, he shook his head again and again, and retorted:

"It's not reasonable to pay dividends like this, since the ship is mine, don't you think I should get more dividends?"

As soon as he heard this, Zora seemed to hear a big joke, and he raised his hand to the brig Yong, which was being towed to the dockyard by a barge, in the direction of the dock, and said:

"Your Excellency, you shouldn't be talking about the broken ship!"

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao took a deep breath and exchanged glances with Vina Dubov, he reluctantly suppressed his anger, and said indifferently:

"Of course not, I bought a second-hand Yaling battleship, which is being refurbished at the shipyard and will soon be ready for service."

Pirates were more interested in the usefulness of their ships than in regular fleets, which had to take into account the dignity of the country and the dignity of the royal family, and most of them chose light ships that were quick to move, which was not only conducive to the pursuit of fleeing prey, but also easier to escape from the enemy in case of trouble.

Luo Zhengdao's Yong was despised by Zola Hegel, not because of its small tonnage, but in fact, the Yong's hull was strong and durable, and it was considered a good ship, but its disadvantage was that it was not fast enough, and its steering ability was not flexible enough compared to a warship of the same tonnage. Naturally, there is no problem with using it as a merchant ship or a passenger ship, and it is not competent to sail and chase a merchant fleet in the endless Aether Sea, or to wrestle with enemy ships.

The Yaling Empire is the second largest maritime overlord in the new world, and the elven Federation, which has relied on its strong economic strength to maintain the world's second largest navy, has to bow to the Yaling Royal Navy.

Needless to say, the level of shipbuilding craftsmanship that combines high enchantment techniques with other secret manufacturing methods is self-evident, and although a Tier 6 battleship is the lowest-grade battleship class, it is more than enough for the pirate profession with fast sailing and powerful firepower. If you have to compare the clumsy brig Yong with the unnamed Yaling Class 6 battleship, that is, the difference between a Chery QQ and a Lamborghini Gallardo in the old world. Frankly speaking, there is no comparison other than that they are all four wheels with car license plates.
