Evan is very clear about his plans for the future.

At least in the short term, it is mainly based on the advancement of its own extraordinary strength, supplemented by rank promotion and warship upgrades in the navy.

In terms of his own strength, it has only been less than a year since he completed his extraordinary transformation, and Aivan's current knight path and wizard path are in a period of rapid growth.

With the steady progress of the physical ferocity of the "Whale Elixir", after choosing the alchemy school, although the new meditation method has not been converted in time because the time is too short, the annotation notes of various predecessors have also greatly improved Aiwen's meditation efficiency.

It's just that Ai Wen always feels that there is still a gap between the "alchemy school" that focuses on the direction of academic research and his expectations. Even his own spiritual premonition has been faintly transmitting a voice to him, and so on, and so on.

For example, the "prophecy school" itself makes predictions based on the interaction between his own spirituality and the information of the world, and although Evan does not have this prophetic ability, he also attaches great importance to the spiritual premonition that it is impossible to deceive himself.

That feeling is like encountering a grain grass, and it tastes good to eat, but it's still not that much from the fairy grass.

Although the "Alchemy School" is good, it is not necessarily his best choice.

It is precisely because of this faint resistance of his own spirituality that Ai Wen decided to postpone the transformation meditation method, anyway, he can change schools at any time before becoming a formal wizard, and his spirit is only 0.55 A little far from that threshold, Ai Wen is not in a hurry.

Besides.

The question of rank and status in the navy was something that Aven was eager to solve, and although he was already the youngest captain of a warship in the kingdom, he was still not satisfied.

Near the sea, near the sea, open sea, far sea... Although there was never a clear geographical division, sailors knew that the deeper they went into the sea, the harsher and more dangerous the natural conditions became.

Correspondingly, the more dangerous the area, the higher the requirements for ships and personnel!

Especially for the Royal Navy, if you want to go to the open sea to perform missions independently, most of the time the fourth-class ships are the entry threshold. Even if it is a second-best escort formation, it will require at least a fifth-level ship to join.

Otherwise, low-level warships entering the open sea will not only not be able to help, but will also become a burden to the ocean-going fleet, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Although he is no longer worried about Anita's safety for the time being, Evan still wants to visit the New World as soon as possible. This also exposes a lack of freedom in the mixed official system, and it is difficult for a captain to freely arrange long journeys.

And the step-by-step promotion, although he has a lot of merits and the background is hard enough, it is simply unrealistic to want to continuously leapfrog the ranks of battleship captains in a short period of time.

And this "Navy Rising Star Program" just gave me a chance to be promoted quickly. What's more, there is also an unexpected "golden compass" in it.

All of the above, for the Navy Nova and even the top spot among the six Navy Nova stars, Ai Wen is bound to win!

However, there is still an urgent problem to be solved.

"Dear Major Milan, do me another favor!" Evan looked at Milan opposite, and his eyes lit up.

"Huh?!"

......

I wanted to do this slowly for a long time in the future, but the plan couldn't keep up with the rapid changes, so I had to use a little special means.

After going to sea, away from land, various risk indices and uncontrollable factors skyrocket, and you need to face the most vicious pirates, and it is bound to be impossible for you to stay.

Not only the popular knight ability, but also all kinds of witchcraft methods and sea treasures should be used when they should be used.

At this time, the reliability of the crew on the ship is particularly important, and after a cruise mission to identify and sort out, the crew on the sixth-level ship "Conch" undoubtedly made Evan not very satisfied.

Loyalty aside, competence is already a big issue!

Except for a very limited part of the crew that he sees as potential for improvement and may be able to keep up with his own footsteps, most of the others are already unproductive.

Military port wharf, sixth-class ship "Conch".

Smack-

Evan snapped his fingers.

An ability is okay, and the gunners who were preliminarily judged to be qualified to stay by Evan opened their eyes in a daze.

"Alright soldier, my assessment of you is over. Get out and call the next one in!"

"Ah, yes, Your Excellency!" the gunner came to his senses in an instant, saluted, and walked out of the cabin.

Combined with the inhalation of the "sleeping potion" and mental induction methods, the "torture" skills that Ai Wen has honed in the "Bloody Hand Gang" have been perfected.

Using a little means to make the crew members who are qualified to stay face their hearts and tell the truth is simply a trivial matter, and other crew members who are already on the removal list with too poor ability are not even qualified to let His Excellency the captain bother.

And because of the captain's status, he openly asked them to conduct a one-on-one ability assessment, and the crew was not suspicious, but all of them were very happy.

Well... While it was a bit out of place to use witchcraft on his home, Evan didn't touch their privacy either. And whether in the past life or in this life, who honestly has been locked by the rules, can get ahead? Those who know how to make good use of the rules live the most nourishing life.

Extraordinary times and extraordinary means, Ai Wen has never been a person who will be constrained, and he knows how to be flexible while being principled.

Of course, even if they didn't pass Aiwen's review in the end, everyone got Aivan's very pertinent advice, which can be regarded as a small compensation.

Half a day later.

Whew-

"It's finally over!"

With a long sigh of relief, Evan stretched widely.

From the chief navigator, the chief steward, the chief sail cable, the chief gunner, the chief gunner, the chief gunner, the first mate, the second officer, and the third officer, the more than 100 crew members were determined by Ai Wen to be able to stay, and only about 20 were left.

It can be called the backbone.

These people are all up to standard in various positions, their mouths are strict enough, and most importantly, they have a certain degree of loyalty to themselves. Although the contact time is still short, this loyalty is still a little cheap, but as long as you can ensure a certain foundation in the early stage, you can slowly cultivate it in the future.

Even if it is to reach the point where I only know that there is a captain and I don't know that there is a woman... Ahem... It's not impossible. For a wizard who can use psychic powers and a "good" captain, this is not a fantasy.

As for how to fill the shortfall, Evan has long been inspired by the four recruits on the "Conch", Fleck, Barrow, Brown, and Berdwin.

The hundreds of contemporaneous recruits who used to get along day and night in the boot camp were his best source of soldiers. What's more, when he was a swordsmanship teacher, Ai Wen had already established a fine database for them by using the "Data Vision".

Well, get to the bottom of it.

Moreover, it is difficult to draw experienced and capable forces from various warships, but it is very simple to start with recruits who have served on most of the sixth-class ships and have been on board for less than a year.

Even the fleet headquarters does not need to be alarmed, and only needs to issue an order from the logistics department, which also manages the troops, to solve the problem perfectly.

With the relationship between Evan and Milan and even Lieutenant General Snaite, it's drizzling...

Aven's plan is going well.

In the next few days, while the warships that had been ordered to return were still in port, one by one the orders issued by the logistics department were issued to the sixth-class ships. Many of the recruits, who had been in the ranks for less than a year, came to the "Conch", which also belongs to the sixth class ship, to report in some confusion.

Here, they unexpectedly meet Major Evan Garjott, a former recruit of the same period, a swordsmanship instructor, and a legendary figure who has long since soared, and is also their current captain!

What surprised and touched them even more was that Major Aven, who was the captain of the ship, clearly remembered the appearance and name of each of them, and even the family situation, hobbies and specialties.

Although most of these recruits come from the bottom of society, they are more pragmatic. However, the commander of the high-ranking captain paid so much attention to it, and immediately felt a sense of belonging and identification with the new warship and the commander.

Like Fleck, Barrow, Brown, and Baldwin, Evan then easily subdued them with just a few tricks.

It's just that what they don't know is that, beyond the superficial information, Evan knows them much better than they do.

They were all the most potential people who had been recorded by Aven when he first served as a swordsmanship instructor in the collection database, and they came here after being selected by Evan.

It can be said that the essence of hundreds of recruits at the same time as Evan has been exhausted by him.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Ai Wen simply completed the theoretical crew of the sixth-level ship with 195 people in one step.

In just a few days, a major blood change was completed before others realized it, and the face and spirit of the ship were completely renewed.

With veteran officers and excellent crew members as the backbone, and with excellent potential and energetic recruits as the body, the "Conch" has completed a rebirth in the hands of Aven!

Just wait... The test of war!
