At the same time that the Chinese children of Batavia entered the Blackwater training camp for training, ten Western galleons departing from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, finally arrived in Batavia after two months of sailing.

Judging from the sails and the paint on the sailboats, it is accurate to tell that the ten ships are brand new.

In order to escort these ten ships to Batavia smoothly, the Dutch East India Company also specially sent a warship to escort the whole process, and the warship did not return to the mainland after the escort mission was completed, but stayed in Batavia and belonged to the Viceroyalty of Batavia.

In order to strengthen the maritime transportation force and cope with the increasingly frequent maritime import and export trade activities, the Ministry of Foreign Trade under the Australian Executive Committee had to order a number of transport ships to supplement the maritime transportation force.

Although there are shipyards in the country, there is still a certain distance from successfully building a long-distance sea ship, and even You Nanzhe does not dare to guarantee when the ship will be built.

Shipbuilding industry is a systematic project, it takes many years of accumulation of technical personnel, in addition to the introduction of talents, ordering ships made by Western navigation powers is also supported by You Nanzhe, although it can not be built, but it can be changed to a steam-powered transport ship is no problem, after the successful transformation of the Mermaid accumulated experience, You Nanzhe has the confidence to transform all the newly purchased ships into steam power.

Originally, according to the plan, the ocean shipping ships ordered from the Netherlands would not be fully delivered until October, but because the commission given by Australia was too high, the shipyards in the Netherlands worked overtime to produce the ships two months ahead of schedule.

In order to receive these Western sailing ships, the Naval Academy has set up a special course for the operation of Western sailing ships, and the teachers are the former captain and crew of the Mermaid.

The traversers, who had already received the news of the telegram relay, also attached great importance to the receipt of the new ship, and theoretically the captain and first mate who were being trained now were still unqualified according to strict standards, after all, the time was too short.

However, time did not allow them to continue their training, and in order to successfully receive the ship, the Executive Committee ordered the Sea Blue to go to Batavia with the receiving personnel, but it was not possible, so they found an iron chain to connect the ships together, and the Sea Blue was the leader to ship the ship back and then remodel.

Of course, this method will only be implemented in the end, after all, more than 100 colleges have gone through nearly half a year of theory and practice, and they will not know anything about safety, if they really don't learn at all, it is estimated that Adams and others will be so angry that they vomit blood.

"Professor Adams, do you think we can really steer a good sailboat?"

A student at the Naval Academy, like Adams, could tell from the look on his face that he was a little unconfident.

"Oh, Wenjun, be confident, you must be able to do it, your theoretical and practical grades in school are the best, why are you not confident." Adams patted the other man on the shoulder like a kind elder father as a sign of encouragement.

"Yes, Mr. Professor, I will definitely do my best," Wen Jun said through gritted teeth, his face excited.

"Well, good, relax, don't be nervous, this is just the first step you take, as a Naval Academy, stepping on a ship and successfully controlling a ship is the first step for all of you, and you may still be able to command a fleet in the future."

Adams's encouragement calmed the young man's mood a lot, and at least the worried forehead on his face soothed.

"Okay, get ready, let's get off the ship, don't make people laugh, you're the trainee captain." Adams took a step forward and smiled at the other party.

With ten Western galleons docked at the docks in Batavia and some other merchant ships, it was impossible for the Sea Blue to enter the harbor, so it had to drop its assault boat in the open sea and send everyone ashore.

At this time, there were already people from the embassy and the governor's palace waiting on the shore.

"Dear Mr. Adams, it's really nice to see you again." At this time, the Dutch governor sent to the docks to receive Eli, who was on Christmas Island.

Under the care of Van Diemen, the governor of Batavia, he had become the sheriff of Batavia. It can be said that Aili at this time is the time when the spring breeze is proud.

"Oh, Second Lieutenant Eli, it's a pleasure to hear that you've been promoted to sheriff. This is a gift for you. Adams smiled and shook Eli's hand, then handed a small wooden box to Eli.

Shao Nan, who was standing on the side, whispered to Wang Tiezhu: "Captain, don't worry Adams, aren't you afraid that he will put any of our design drawings or route maps in it?" ”

"No, although Adams is Dutch, he is a principled man, his immigration application report has been approved, and the executive committee is ready to bring his family to Australia at the same time as introducing European talents in order to reward him for his contribution to the Naval Academy."

So there is no need to be afraid that Adams will defect, as for whether he will secretly send out the information in Australia, presumably the intelligence department should be more aware that Liu Yun, the spy leader, must have screened the gifts he sent.

If this little thing can't be done, there will be no need for the intelligence department to exist.

"Xiao Shao, let your people stop following Adams, I don't know how many catties and taels of those people under you are, this matter is handled by the people from the intelligence department."

"Yes, Captain." Shao Nan didn't expect Wang Tiehammer to know that he sent someone to spy on Adams, but he didn't tell anyone, in fact, how did he know that Adams had found out and sued Wang Tiehammer.

The reception ceremony was very short, and the personnel on both sides only boarded one of the boats to take a look, and then the reception was handed over to Adams and other receiving personnel, while Wang Tiehammer returned to the embassy with the embassy staff to rest.

The reason why Adams became the person in charge is that he has a very familiar knowledge of the ship, and secondly, it is also to test him, and the executive committee must have a good audit of him, if he does a good job in the ship inspection and acceptance, his audit will definitely add a lot of points, and if on the contrary, he sees that there is something bad but deliberately conceals it, it must be considered to have different intentions, then his reuse should also be considered.

"Mr. Adams, please come here," a sailor respectfully took Adams and the others onto another boat for inspection.
