Chapter 67
After talking to Johnny Joseph and the others, Ian already has some ideas in mind about how to get to the Great Voyage.
Ian has a few more things to do before leaving, though.
Two days later, more than 300 Navy soldiers stood in two rows on the playground of the Rogue Town Naval Base, and when Ian appeared, they raised their hands in unison.
Ian walked through these saluting naval soldiers, and sighed in his heart, no wonder there are so many people in this world who want to join the navy, this kind of etiquette, rules, and neat uniforms can indeed make people feel a sense of majesty, even if Ian is just a temporary swordsmanship instructor, he is also courteous to the naval soldiers, in such an atmosphere, he only feels that he is full of force.
Passing through the passage of saluting soldiers, Ian reached the high platform of the playground, and he turned to look at the Navy soldiers below, who were also standing in order, and then looked at Ian.
Ian glanced at everyone and said slowly: "There are two days left, and my term as a swordsmanship instructor is coming to an end, although it is only a short month, but I have also met many of you, and I also get along well with everyone, so here, I would like to thank you for your support for my work." ”
"The instructor is polite!" The Navy soldiers shouted in unison, causing a wave of noise to rise in the playground.
Ian pressed his hand down, and waited until the scene was silent before he spoke again: "Maybe many of you present also know the reason why I am a swordsmanship instructor...... That's right, it's because I don't have the money to compensate for the loss of the execution table! ”
The naval soldiers in the audience couldn't help laughing, and even Dusty couldn't help but laugh, Ian, a swordsmanship instructor, was abducted by Colonel Smoker, which the soldiers at the base knew well, seeing that Ian did not shy away from admitting it, the naval soldiers were a little more cordial to Ian's frankness.
Ian waited for them to finish laughing, and then continued: "Although the agreement with Smoker is only a month, I dare to pat my chest and assure you that I will definitely teach you with a serious attitude!" There is no slightest hiding of selfishness, swordsmanship is actually the most important, is the basic movements, I let you practice every day, it is these basic movements, I took a look, and now everyone has basically mastered it, so even if I leave, as long as everyone can persevere in practice, one day they will become a master of swordsmanship! ”
"Instructor!" A naval soldier raised his hand and asked, "Can you really become a swordsman like you who can kill Creek with one blow?" ”
"Yes!" Ian said with certainty: "It's hard to say in terms of time, but it will definitely be possible!" And not only can you kill pirates, but you may be able to be recruited by the Navy Headquarters and become a real Navy elite! ”
"Yes...... Is it? The naval soldiers in the audience were stimulated by Ian's words, and they couldn't hold back their excitement.
Smoker was at the attic windowsill of the base at this time, biting a cigar and watching the scene on the playground, he heard Ian's words about calling him an old smoking gun, but he didn't mind, but he frowned a little at Ian's words to motivate the sailors.
It's not that he thinks Ian is wrong, but he feels that Ian seems to have something to say.
Sure enough, after irritating the naval soldiers, Ian suddenly spoke again: "Of course, if you want to become an elite soldier in the headquarters, it's not enough to just bury your head in practice, now raise your hand and let me see, how many of you have really gone to sea and captured pirates?" ”
A small half of the soldiers present raised their hands, while those who did not bow their heads in shame.
Although Rogue Town is the largest naval base in the East China Sea, to be honest, most of the naval soldiers here are just maintaining law and order in Rogue Town, and the original colonel in Rogue Town is a hedonist, and it is impossible to take the initiative to lead his soldiers out to sea to suppress pirates.
During the time Ian stayed at the base, he had already learned this from the soldiers, so he asked this question, and now that he looks, it is indeed the case.
And that wasn't the end of it, Ian then asked, "So, those who have really fought the pirates face to face, please raise your hand." ”
This time, even among the soldiers who raised their hands just now, most of them put their hands down and fought face to face? What are you kidding, most of them are low-ranking soldiers, not even a lieutenant, even if these people have captured pirates, they are just bombarded with cannons from afar on the ship, even if they participated in the capture of pirates in the square, it was after Colonel Smoker tied up the pirates with his ability, they went to take over, and the real combat experience was really pitiful......
Seeing that these soldiers all had a look of shame, a smile tugged at the corner of Ian's mouth, very good, these guys really cooperated.
So, he made a sad expression, shook his head, and said, "It seems that the situation is much worse than I expected...... But it's not your fault, maybe you don't have a chance! ”
Hearing Ian give them the stairs, the navy soldier nodded his head, yes, it's not that we don't want to catch pirates, but we don't have a chance.
Ian walked around the stage a few times, pretending to think, and then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's it!" ”
He looked at the naval soldiers in the audience and said: "As a navy, the duty is to protect the territory and the people, and maintain the majesty of the naval flag, I said, although my teaching time is very short, but I am absolutely serious and responsible, since this is the case, then in the last two days, I plan to arrange a real combat exercise for you, in addition to testing the learning results of the past month, but also to provide you with a real combat meeting." ”
"Real...... Combat exercises!? The naval soldiers in the audience were dumbfounded and began to talk about it.
Ian looked at them coldly and said, "What? Don't want to? Ha, it's really funny, with your mentality, you still want to be the elite of the department? ”
In a word, the navy soldiers were stimulated again, and they straightened up one by one, staring at Ian, the meaning is obvious, the actual combat exercise is the actual combat exercise, who is afraid of whom!
"Good!" Ian said with satisfaction: "Now listen to my command and turn back!" Run and go! Target, port terminal, board the ship when you are ready for water and food! ”
The sailors left the playground at Ian's command, leaving only Dusty alone, who came up to Ian and yelled at him, "What do you want to do!?" You want to take a warship to sea!? You can't do this without Colonel Smoker's order! ”
"In that case, wouldn't it be nice to let him agree?" Ian shrugged, then turned his head and said, "Are you right?" Colonel Smoker! ”
Dusty turned his head and found that Smoker had indeed appeared behind him, so he said anxiously: "Colonel Smoker, you hurry up and stop him!" ”
However, what he didn't expect was that Smoker didn't need to pay attention to Dusty, but asked Ian suspiciously: "I don't object to the actual combat exercise, anyway, these guys also need to practice, but what is your idea?" Is it really just a real combat exercise? ”
Ian shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's a real combat exercise, I plan to take them out to sea to see if I can meet some pirates or something, I believe you don't want to raise a group of old soldiers, right?" And I also want to try the taste of commanding naval warships, is that enough? ”
Smoker didn't speak, he snorted his cigar vigorously, filling his head with a burst of smoke, and after thinking for a long time, he finally poked Ian's chest and said, "I can promise you this actual combat exercise, but you must promise me that you will bring my soldiers back intact!" Can it be done? ”
"Don't worry!" Ian said: "If I really encounter a strong enemy, I will take action myself!" ”
With this assurance, Smoker couldn't say anything more, and waved his hand to Dusty: "You take a good look at him!" And then he left.
After receiving Smoker's order, Dusty immediately clenched the sword in his hand and stared at Ian tightly, as if he had begun to carry out Smoker's explanation.
Ian didn't mind at all, turned around and left, and Dusty hurriedly followed.
When they walked slowly to the port, the navy soldiers had already prepared a warship, the warship used by the branch was one size smaller than the warship of the headquarters, but it was enough to carry two or three hundred people, and in the eyes of the navy soldiers, Ian took Dusty to board the ship and said to everyone: "This exercise has been approved by Colonel Smoker, so ...... Let's go! ”
"Untie the ropes! Sail! Sail! ”
With the command of the navigator of the navy, Ian and their warship slowly sailed away from the port, and the people who stayed in the port naturally saw this scene, looking at each other with a smile, not knowing what the navy was going to do.
"Heading, southeast!" Ian shouted from the deck.
"Yes! Heading, Southeast! The Navy soldier at the helm repeated loudly and immediately began to turn on the steering wheel.
Ian stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze, and only felt that this feeling of being a captain was so refreshing, and with a casual shout, the ship could move forward according to his wishes.
At this time, the naval soldiers on the ship thought that Ian was just taking them around the sea and arresting them if they encountered pirates, so they didn't feel anything wrong, so they were faithfully fulfilling their duties.
However, if they could look into Ian's pocket at this time, they might pull out a bounty slip from his pocket.
And if you see this bounty list, it is estimated that all the soldiers present will not be able to help crying.
Because this bounty list in Ian's pocket is the highest bounty list in the East China Sea: Aaron's!
What kind of actual combat exercises are all fake, Ian, this guy is simply fake public and private this time, and he came out with the navy, it's not as simple as going around, he is going to Ah Long......
