After a day's voyage, the Wanderer has approached the port of Rakich, standing on the bow of the ship can already faintly see the land, in the waters close to the North Oceania, Lawrence asked the first mate to raise a flag given by the Pirate Alliance, and met a few groups of pirates on the way, but they saw the flag of the Wanderer, and did not come to rob, it seems that Lawrence is still very capable in the sphere of influence of the Pirate Alliance, and ordinary merchant ships will be robbed if they can't reach here at all!

Zhang Lin stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the Rakich non-harbor from a distance, the buildings of the harbor can already be seen, and the Wanderer only needs to sail for another thirty minutes to enter the port, and now it has begun to reduce its speed, and it is very depressing to sail on the sea for a long time, although Zhang Lin has been on the warship before, but it has been accompanied by the war, and his attention is not on this at all, and he has not lived on the warship for so long, but at this time Zhang Lin feels a trace of discomfort and depression, and now he finally sees the land, and the trace of depression and discomfort is gone!

Everyone on the Wandering relaxed, Lawrence walked to the bow of the ship and stood side by side with Zhang Lin, "Although I have been on the ship for a long time, but the continuous voyage of these two months is really depressing, I will relax after entering the port for a while, Mr. Zhang Lin, I will take you around the world, familiarize yourself with here, you will be here for a long time in the future, good luck!" ”

Zhang Lin showed a signature smile, "By Captain Lawrence's words, I believe that I will survive here very well, maybe in the near future, we will meet again, when the hand may really be able to help you!" ”

Lawrence believed very much in what Zhang Lin said, and his intuition told him that it might not be long before Zhang Lin would really become the rule-maker of this sea, although it was not clear how hard it was and what price it would take!

The two stood at the bow of the ship like this, no longer talking, watching the Wandering armed merchant ship slowly enter the port, after the ship stopped, the sailors began to be busy anchoring, and Zhang Lin took Avril and Edward's sailors off the ship, they planned to take a good rest today, more than a month of travel fatigue, so that they also felt very tired, what Zhang Lin has to do now is to let them have a good rest, after all, Avril is a girl, such a long time on the boat, makes Avril a little haggard, makes Zhang Lin very distressed!

After Zhang Lin took a group of people to the port, he found that this place was different from other places, other harbors were very busy, but everyone was very polite, but there was a breath of killing on this side, that kind of breath was only found in people who had killed people, these people were in a hurry, most of them boarded the battleship and went to sea, but there were fewer people who came back from the sea, on the dock, more than a dozen people were hung on the flagpole, with ropes around their necks, and it seemed that they were dead, Zhang Lin remembered what Lawrence said about the people who challenged the rules, And so they were executed! It seems that the pirate alliance has a lot of deterrent power, and it can make these pirates with sweet blood on the knife edge keep their own peace!

Zhang Lin left the busy Rakichfei port and entered the city, because this is the main sea traffic route, there are many ships coming and going, although there are many pirates, but the high risk is accompanied by high returns, there will always be businessmen who take risks for money, and there are always people who will be lucky to enter the harbor and make a lot of money, the prosperity of Rakichfei City is no less than that of the Reims Imperial Capital, Zhang Lin looked at most of the shops on the bustling streets are related to arms, various types of guns are placed in the windows, and ammunition is also placed in the display case at will, The guys and the guests were haggling, and it was no different from any other city, the only difference was that the arms were sold here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Lin took Avril and Delin and others to look for hotels on the street, but there were almost no hotels in this city, all of them sold arms, and finally Zhang Lin had to find someone to inquire, only to find a high-end hotel, and then Zhang Lin and others went in and opened fifteen first-class rooms, each room with fifty gold coins a day, which was very expensive, almost all the expenses of civilians in the Reims Empire for three years! But Zhang Lin didn't care about these, he brought twenty-seven people, and the sailors were two people per person in a room, and then Zhang Lin arranged Avril Lavigne, and told her to stay here, "I'm going to go out for a while, Wei'er, you have a good rest, find Delin if you have something, don't go out alone, it's more dangerous here!" ”

"Well, don't worry, I'll take care of myself, I've been a little sleepy lately, rest for a while, and you'll be back." Avril is very well-behaved, at this time she doesn't want Zhang Lin to worry about herself anymore, she understands the situation here very well, she has to learn to protect herself in the future, so that Zhang Lin can do her own thing with peace of mind!

"Okay, I'll be back in a while, don't worry about me!" After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he closed the door of the room, left and found the largest weapon store he had just passed, he wanted to buy some firearms, so that his people could defend themselves here!

In the gun shop, Zhang Lin was checking the attributes and specifications of the firearms on the counter, and at this moment, a very familiar voice called Zhang Lin!

"Mr. Zhang Lin, is that you?" Zhang Lin is very strange, he doesn't know anyone here, and he is very curious about who it is!

"I'm Smith, it's great that you're still alive!" It turned out to be Smith, Zhang Lin was very surprised, but at this time, Zhang Lin was very happy to meet someone who could help him.

"It's Mr. Smith, why are you here?" Zhang Lin was curious about how Smith came to Beiyangzhou.

"It's a long story, this is my branch, I sent a battleship to a big customer, just came here to see, I heard that Mr. Zhang Lin was killed, I was very sad, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhang Lin here, it's really fate! But Mr. Zhang Lin, why did you come here? After saying that, Smith's expression was very sad, Zhang Lin believed that Smith was not lying to himself, but that if he died, Smith would have a big loss! Smith was also curious about how Zhang Lin could have appeared in this chaotic place.

Looking at Zhang Lin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Smith suddenly realized, "Come with me, this is not the place to talk!" Then he invited Zhang Lin to the second floor, and in the study on the second floor, Smith asked Zhang Lin to sit down, poured Zhang Lin a glass of red wine, and motioned for Zhang Lin to go on!

Zhang Lin told Smith what happened to him, which surprised Smith, Zhang Lin could still survive in that situation, and then Zhang Lin told Smith that he was going to establish a force here, and Smith could provide him with some warships!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang Lin, it's not that I won't help you, now I only have one destroyer in my hand and there is no trade, and it will be a few months before the other warships are delivered, but I can introduce a friend to you, and he will have the battleship you want!" Smith is very sorry for not being able to help Zhang Lin!

"It's okay, can you show me the data on this destroyer?" Zhang Lin urgently needs a battleship, and destroyers are also fine, as long as they are newly developed and produced!

"Okay, I'll show you, this is a newly produced warship, rest assured that the quality is the best, and the technical performance is also very advanced and mature!" After Smith finished speaking, he took the data of that destroyer!

Zhang Lin took a closer look: the Destiny-class destroyer, with a length of 115 meters, a width of 12 meters, a draft of 3.6 meters, a standard displacement of 3,320 tons, a maximum displacement of 3,840 tons, a single 127 mm 38 times the caliber ratio of six main guns, an effective firing range of 16 kilometers, a main engine power of 62,000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 38 knots, two five-pack 533 mm caliber torpedo launchers arranged in the central axis of the hull, and six Bofors quadruple 40-mm anti-aircraft guns. Bofors 40 mm twin anti-aircraft guns with a maximum endurance of 5,000 nautical miles and a standard crew of 530 people!

For this destroyer, Zhang Lin was very satisfied, "Mr. Smith, I want this destroyer, can I replace the torpedo with a long-range torpedo of more than fifteen kilometers?" ”

"No problem, I have a lot of this kind of torpedo, this destroyer will be given to Mr. Zhang Lin, the day after tomorrow I will have someone send her over, Mr. Zhang Lin don't shirk it, this destroyer is trivial to me, you can take it with peace of mind!" Smith said on the spot that he would replace the torpedo for the destroyer according to Zhang Lin's request, and gave Zhang Lin a card, saying that with this card, he could maintain and replenish ammunition for free!

"Thank you, Mr. Smith, then!" Zhang Lin did not shirk, with the battleship, his ideas can begin to be realized, after all, he and Smith are partners, if he shirks Smith, he will be unhappy, and then Zhang Lin told Smith the request to buy a gun, Smith happily gave Zhang Lin sixty pistols, and five hundred rounds of ammunition, the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a long time, Zhang Lin suddenly asked: "Mr. Smith, have I verified the battleship I gave you?" ”

Hearing Zhang Lin say this, Smith seemed very happy, "The data of that battleship has been verified, there are no problems, it can be built, it is a very clever design, and the one that Mr. Zhang Lin transformed has been built in full accordance with the drawings, there is no big problem!" Then Smith's voice changed, "It's just that there is a problem with the main gun, because the 460 mm naval gun is still in the experimental stage and cannot be installed, I am in charge of replacing the mature 420 mm naval gun for Mr. Zhang Lin's battleship, and the others are built according to Mr. Zhang Lin's requirements, that is, the displacement is 15,000 tons larger than that of a normal warship of the same class, is there no problem with Mr. Zhang Lin?" ”

"No problem, Mr. Smith is in charge," Zhang Lin thought to himself, it was the research result of dozens of scientists in the United States, would it be difficult? Then chatted with Smith for a while and then left, Smith sent two guys to Zhang Lin to help send the guns and ammunition back, he still has something to do, so he won't send Zhang Lin!

Zhang Lin hurriedly asked Smith to keep himself busy, and the two guys just sent the things over!
