Four days later, in the afternoon, Nicole's fleet appeared in the waters east of Fuxing City, five battleships lined up in front, followed by a main battleship of the Third Legion and three theaters, two fast sails, and eight merchant ships, and the last one was the second battleship, all of which were flying the flag of the Second Legion Navy!

The revival fleet, with a total of nine warships, was in the east sea, plus Aberto's nine in the west sea, enclosing the twelve warships of the Third Army and the Third War Zone in the middle.

The decks of the twelve ships began to panic when they saw that they were surrounded, and three of them, although flying the flag of the Second Legion fleet, were clearly the same convoy that had just escorted them with supplies. Seeing this, the twelve warships set sail and anchored one after another, and quickly fled the sea area of Fuxing City with a tailwind to the south!

In the evening, Higg took all the important officials of Fuxing City to welcome the revival fleet in the harbor, and the flagship of the nine warships of the Third Army entered the harbor with the revival fleet.

The salute sounded, and everyone was watching the scarred flagship, and Nicole, dressed in battle armor and a red cloak on her shoulders, stood on the deck to receive the cheers of the people, looking dazzling and gorgeous in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Captain Aberto, another flagship, came ashore and came to the Interior Hall surrounded by everyone.

Everyone listened attentively to Nicole's description, how the battleships were received, how the fleet was established, how they attacked more than 5,000 kilometers, and then how they attacked the port of Truto, how they sank four ships and severely damaged two warships, how they broke through and returned home, and how they captured the other side's escort fleet and merchant ships, which made people listen to it as if they were in a scene after scene.

"Bring it in!" Nicole's loud screams wake everyone in the immersion!

I saw that three officers wearing captain's robes were tied in the internal affairs hall and thrown in front of everyone!

"General Nicole, this is ——?" Higg stood up and asked curiously.

Nicole smiled coldly: "These are the captains of the third, fourth, and fifth ships, who disobeyed the military order and returned without permission during the battle of the sneak attack on Port Truto. According to the order of the naval army, it should be beheaded! It's just that the captain's rank is too high, and I need to ask the lord for instructions! ”

Higg sat down slowly, but with an oh and no words, his eyes turned to everyone.

"Lord of the city, although they disobeyed the military order, they successfully rescued the flagship and the second ship, and they performed heroically in the naval battle, and the merit is huge, please forgive the city lord!"

"Yes, yes!" Many people then chimed in, "It's unlucky to kill a general after a big victory!" ”

……

The crowd was visibly dissatisfied with Nicole's decision to kill the captain, and began to discuss, with most of them interceding for the three captains.

I saw Rogson stand up and say: "Merit is merit, military order is military order, how can it be confused?" ”

Higg looked at the messy argument below, stood up again, and said, "General Rogson is right, merit is merit, and military orders are military orders. The three captains fought meritoriously and were promoted to two ranks, but they disobeyed the military order and were immediately beheaded, and all the rewards were sent to their homes! Higg said as he stepped on Aberto, who was on his right hand.

Aberto immediately understood, stood up, and said, "Well, everyone, I'm not from Fuxing City, I want to say a few words!" Disobeying military orders, this will be killed, especially in battle, it is even more unforgivable! But there are still rules in the navy, no matter what the situation, if the flagship is in danger, if he does not save and leaves the battlefield, he will also be killed. At that time, the situation was that these three generals disobeyed the military order to save the flagship, and if they did not save the flagship, they also disobeyed the military regulations to die. Captain Nicole, when you gave the order, you had already sentenced the three of them to death, and they made that choice when they were certain to die, this situation is quite special, as for how to deal with it, please ask General Higg to decide for himself! ”

Rogson said, "No matter how special it is, it is disobeying military orders, and this one is enough to kill the head!" ”

Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "After all, today is a day to celebrate victory, the three captains have resisted the military order, but their behavior is a model of military regulations, this can at least be offset a little, right?" Besides, can their heroic subordinates, after making such a great contribution, understand that their captain was killed? Of course, it is important to maintain military regulations and military orders, but it is also very important to maintain the stability of the military's morale! Lord of the city, I think this crime of disobeying the military order can be written down first, and the reward will not be given, let them make meritorious service for their crimes, and notify the whole army, not as an example! ”

Without waiting for others to interject, Higg said loudly to the three captains below: "For the sake of so many people interceding, you are allowed to make meritorious deeds, the reward will be confiscated, and another fifty lashes will be given." Today is the day to celebrate the great victory, and the whipping will be carried out tomorrow, since it is Lan Xian'er who proposed to let you make meritorious contributions, tomorrow Lan Xian'er, you will personally supervise! Let's bet on it first! ”

"Thank you, Lord City, thank you, generals!" The three captains hurriedly bowed and retreated.

When it finally calmed down, Alberto said, "General Higg, congratulations! Today is the day you celebrate the big victory, I now understand the basics, and I have to return to the flagship, so I won't bother, goodbye! ”

Higra took Aberto's hand and said, "General Aberto, today's victory is not only ours, but also your credit. I know that the flagship is inseparable from you, but today's big victory is extraordinary, the battle losses of the third army in the third theater have reached one-third, and he will not dare to come to this sea area in the future, hahaha. ”

Higg pressed Aberto back into his seat as he spoke, and continued, "General, this time thanks to the General's help, without the General, without me, there would be no victory. But our army won a big victory, and the general returned empty-handed, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain if I go back, right? We captured three warships, it is better to give the main battleship to the general's seat trophy, and four merchant ships are also given to the general, or the last time Yaning Island, the main credit is still the general's, it is the general who planned all the military action plans, and heavily damaged the port of Truto, sank six battleships, damaged two, and captured one, how about it? ”

Aberto said embarrassedly: "General Higg, last time I accepted your love, not only was I not held accountable for losing the battleship, but I was also promoted to a higher level, and this time I can't say anything anymore from the general's favor!" ”

Higg smiled: "The general is wrong, my credit is the general's credit, as long as the general mixes well in the Second Army Navy, we cooperate sincerely, and I am worried that we can no longer make great contributions!" So, the higher the status of the general, the happier we are. If it weren't for the fear of the cold, the hearts of the soldiers would be difficult to explain, what if I gave all the captured warships to the generals, but after all, they were captured by the soldiers' hard work, and I left a few ships, so I can explain to the soldiers! ”

Alberto smiled: "Since the general said so, if I don't appreciate it, it will be too outward!" Well, as long as I'm still in the Second Legion Naval Fleet, if General Higg needs help, I definitely don't have a second word! According to the rules of the Navy, the captain of the flagship of the battleship on the expedition is not allowed to leave the ship, so I will not disturb you, there will be no official business another day, and we will drink and chat again! ”

"General Aberto!" Higg still didn't let him get up according to Aberto, "I just got some jewels from the Alchemy Country, and gave them to the general a box, and the general can use these jewels to carry out activities, one is to mix up a good popularity in the Second Legion Navy, and the other is to take these credits seriously!" ”

"The jewels of the Alchemy Country?" Aberto was shocked, "You're going to give me a box?" I can't take this! ”

"General, I didn't say that it was for your own use, but I asked you to give it a gift for me!"

……

After Aberto left, Nicole stood up and said angrily: "Higg, how can you give away my jewels, and the boat, which I captured, and you gave it away so generously without asking?" And it was the main battleship that was sent, oh my! ”

Higg said embarrassedly: "Uh, Nicole, in fact, Aberto also has credit for this battle, no one can contain these dozen warships, no one will provide information, can you win?" It's also appropriate to give someone a part of the loot.,I didn't have a chance to tell you in advance.,Besides.,Didn't I also consider your feelings.,Didn't you give it all? Our warships are so good, do you still look at those rags? ”

Nicole said angrily: "You are not the captain, of course you can't look down on it, no matter what warship, I am as much as possible!" ”

Higg smiled: "I'm also thinking about you as a captain, the greater Aberto's contribution in the Second Legion Navy, the greater the chance of promotion, and the safer your fleet will be!" Do you think I sent you to Yanin Island armed battleships just to guard against the ships of the Third Army? Hmph, isn't the Second Legion red-eyed? ”

Nicole asked, "What about the jewelry, and he also has credit for the jewelry?" ”

Higg laughed, "What's wrong with the jewelry?" I bought the jewelry, what does it have to do with you! ”

Nicole said angrily: "Why not, didn't you say that the profit is three or seven points?" You gave it away, where can I share the profits? ”

"Isn't it just a box of jewelry?"

"Hehe, you're generous, some time ago you said you were poor, how much did you find a box of jewelry? Three million gold coins is only enough to buy thirty boxes, and it is the lowest duty-free price that my father has procured for the government. Do you know the price of a box of jewelry in Alasia? I've inquired, and I can sell 250,000 to 300,000 gold coins! ”

"So much?" Higg was also surprised, turned his face and said helplessly, "Didn't you say it earlier, I sent it all, can you still have the face to come back?" ”

"How did I say it earlier? Did you ask me? Nicole said angrily: "I don't care, this time the jewelry is divided fifty-fifty, what kind of freight are you talking about, taxes, whatever, it's not my profit to eat, you sell things yourself, do you still have to collect your own taxes?" ”

Higg said with a sad face: "I knew that there was no good in doing business with people with long hair and short knowledge! ”

Lin Xian'er also said angrily, "Who are you talking about? ”

Blue Fairy said as she grabbed and kicked Nicole at Higg.

"Wait!" Higg quickly took a few steps back, shouting as he retreated, "Daniel, save me......"

"What? Daniel? He's coming to Fuxing City? Where is it? ”
