Chapter 8: The Shortcomings of Black Sails

The war has broken out, Gangzi must often go in and out of Donglai and Lingxiao Town, and at the same time, a battleship needs to act together with the Third Fleet. As a result, Luzer did not have spare battleships to place.

But...... It doesn't seem to be without a boat.

Aren't there just three ships parked in the harbor? Although the ownership belongs to the White Shark Legion, didn't my brother say that the trade would be done after the war, and the manufacturer still had to carefully inspect the goods before delivery...... It is like measuring the seafaring ability, measuring the strength of the ship, and measuring the actual combat performance...... In short, we must test the quality of the products produced by our factory in the harshest environment, build a good brand, and never let a fake and shoddy product enter the market.

The more Gangzi thinks about it, the more he feels that he is majestic, upright, and honest, and those system shipyards probably don't have this pre-delivery inspection procedure, and my brother is the first to make sure that every ship produced from the Black Sail Pirate Shipyard meets international standards.

After finding a bunch of reasons, Gangzi very simply requisitioned the three brigs ordered by the White Shark Legion, and the Luze ship was named Seahorse, and dragged into the dock for weapons, armor, and material equipment.

There were still two ships left, but there was no captain at hand.

Gangzi beckoned Liang Hong: "I just saw that there are two captain's skill books in the exchange, one is a primary artillery skill and the other is a junior leadership skill, do our sailors have these two skills to become a captain?" It would be better to make up two for me. ”

Liang Hong looked at the black "Flying Henan" that was being overhauled in the port, and said sourly: "The regiment commander, this ship is really good, it actually has a ship spirit, if I can command this ...... in my lifetime."

Gangzi kicked over: "Liang Hong, you ruffian, scoundrel, give me enough time, I'm not afraid that you will lose your loyalty!" ”

Liang Hong dodged Gangzi's kick, it seems that the captain of the three-masted battleship has fulfilled his wish and made his temperament much more cheerful, seeing that Gangzi moved the real fire, Liang Hong didn't dare to think more, he smiled and groveled: "The head of the regiment is angry, the commander is angry, I'll go to find it, isn't it easy for thousands of people in our Black Sail Pirate Regiment to make up two captains?" ”

didn't ask Gangzi to wait for a long time, Liang Hong soon brought two people, one named Wan San and the other Ma Quan.

Wansan has primary navigation skills and primary territorial skills, and is Liang Hong's first mate. Ma Quan has primary gunnery and navigational skills, and is the helmsman of the "Flying Henan People". The two of them want to become captains, and they just lack the two captain skills in the exchange.

Liang Hong said to Gangzi: "These two people are the head of the group you are looking for, and the two of them are also raising money to buy these two skills in the exchange, but they are a little tight on hand......

Wan San, Ma Quan, Gangzi are very familiar with them, after all, one is Liang Hong's first mate and the other is his helmsman, these two people are still on the boat, but they go to the tavern as soon as they get off the boat, and it is really strange to be able to save money.

So Gangzi didn't bother to ask how many gold coins these two people could come up with, the price of the captain's three skills exchange was 500 gold, and Gangzi gave each of them 500 gold coins: "Hurry up and buy the skills to learn, I now have two ships that are just short of captains, but don't take the money and run to the casino, I'll wait for you to come back at the port, and when I see which of you is not the captain, I will directly throw it into the sea to feed the sharks." ”

Becoming a captain is the dream of every sailor, where will the two of them think about anything else after receiving the gold coins, and they don't have time to say words of thanks, so they run to the exchange quickly, for fear that the skill book will be sold by others.

While waiting for the two, Gangzi learned from Liang Hong that the sailors' skills had been obtained. There are three main types of skills that sailors acquire, the first is innate, that is, when they are recruited, they already have their own skills, and this kind of skill is completely random; The second is to carry out a certain kind of work for a long time to self-realize, it is easy to comprehend artillery skills when there are more shells, it is easy to comprehend navigation skills for sailors and helmsmen, it is easy for boatswain and first mate to comprehend leadership skills, and it is easy for jumping helpers to comprehend hand-to-hand combat skills; The third is to use the skill book, which can be given by others, just like when Gangzi used his leadership skills on Zhou Geng to become a captain, or it can be purchased from the exchange for self-improvement.

Most of the time, the outcome of a naval battle is determined by the heritage of the two warring parties, after all, no one can guarantee that they will not sink their ships during the war, and after the war has been fought for a long time, at this time it will be faster than whose new ships are built, whose reserves are complete, and whose material reserves are more.

Gangzi has its own complete port city, and theoretically it can spit out ships at a speed of three ships in two days, and the speed limit is, of course, gold coins and shipbuilding drawings. Gangzi's relationship with the Sky Legion can ensure that the Black Sail Pirate Fleet can easily obtain all kinds of supplies. Running merchants, arms sales, building ships and other inputs ensure that Gangzi has a stable capital income. What Gangzi's fleet lacked was the hoarding of shipbuilding drawings and the reserve of reserve personnel.

Legions and guilds are composed of a large number of players, and the huge population base can guarantee the probability of shipbuilding drawings, and they can even organize a group of elite players to specifically look for tasks that can obtain shipbuilding drawings to receive and complete, which Gangzi can't do, he only has one person, plus Tang Yao is only two. However, Gangzi has a good relationship with the Qian Duoduo Business Alliance, and the monopoly of fine iron artillery makes him have certain privileges in the Jin Duoduo Business Alliance, and it is still possible to ask Qian Duoduo to help hoard some shipbuilding drawings, at least for a short time, the relationship between the two is still stable.

Gangzi's biggest headache is the reserve of reserve personnel. His people are all NPCs, unlike players who can be resurrected, if one dies, one less will be missing. Ordinary sailors are just fine, and the pirate camp can be recruited every day, although it is not much, but it has accumulated a lot over time. What Gangzi lacked was a skilled sailor.

The difference between ordinary sailors and skilled sailors can be seen from the weekly salary, one weekly salary of one gold, and one weekly salary of ten gold. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the two is also one in the sky and one underground. Ordinary sailors have their own miscellaneous skills, and their practicality is very low; Skilled sailors have realized that their work skills have increased the combat effectiveness of the ship to a certain extent.

Skilled sailors need to be trained by long-term sailing, and now with Zhao Zhi, sailors can be trained, called Black Sail Pirates, and the reserve of qualified sailors has been accelerated a lot.

In addition to skilled sailors, Gangzi is also in dire need of captains, and every warship needs a captain if it wants to show its combat effectiveness, and it seems that the captain reserve of the Black Sail Pirate Regiment is zero at the moment.

Sensing his shortcomings, Gangzi immediately found Qian Duoduo: "Is there a boat map?" ”

Qian Duoduo replied quickly, and said in a pitiful tone: "Brother Gang! Just total! Uncle Gang! You're trying to kill me, the blueprint of the brig you gave you is my last private collection, it's really gone......!!! ”

Gangzi: "I don't want a brig drawing this time, is there a sloop?" ”

Qian Duoduo's tone recovered quickly: "This is there, with the improvement of the player's level strength, the number of dhow drawings is considerable, I now have ten on hand, 3000 gold each, I will give you a nine-percent discount." ”

Gangzi: "It's all for it, pack it and send it over." ”

Qian Duoduo said happily: "Commander Gang, your Lingxiao Third Fleet is going to exert force!" ”

Gangzi: "You don't have a blueprint for a brig, so I have to use a dhow to make up the numbers, and if there are blueprints for a brig in the future, you can leave me a few, and money is not a problem." ”

Qian Duoduo said: "There is no problem with money, I have no problem, just Commander can rest assured, with our friendship, as long as there are drawings of the brig, I will definitely keep it for you." By the way, when will that batch of artillery arrive, I have already released the news, the big war has begun, many bigwigs are interested, and people abroad have contacted me. ”

Gangzi: "Hahaha, what I earn is the money of the big guys." Feel relieved! The first batch of goods will be sent out immediately, let them taste the sweetness first, hang their appetite, and when they know the difference between the iron artillery and our fine iron artillery, Boss Qian will make a fortune......"

Qian Duoduo: "Then I'll wait for news from Brother Gang." ”

Closing the conversation with Qian Duoduo, Gangzi saw his mailbox flashing, and the ten sloop drawings were more than half discounted.

It just so happened that the shipyard was idle, and all ten drawings were thrown inside. Ten dloops are enough to build an offshore defense fleet based on the defense of Black Sail Island, which will be used not only for defense but also to train sailors.

Then Gangzi said to Liang Hong: "The skill books in the exchange can't be put on display, which brother do you think has training value, ask them to go to the exchange to learn the corresponding skills, I have all the expenses required, these people are given priority to the 'Flying Henan People' and 'Taishan', these two ships are our fortress on the sea, we must be the strongest." ”

Liang Hong thanked him: "I'll thank the regiment commander in advance, and what's the matter with the group of guys who claim to be elves who came with the flying Henan battleship?" Zhou Geng, Zhao Zheng, and Gao Lu led people up to find faults, siege and heads-up are not opponents of others, where did the head of the regiment find such a powerful guy. ”

"Zhou Geng, Zhao Zheng, and Gao Lu dare to provoke them, I really don't know how to write dead characters...... "Hearing that Zhou Geng and them were deflated in the hands of Baknar, Gangzi smiled: "They are looking for trouble with the elves, and you must have something to do with it." ”

When Gangzi was away, Liang Hong was the leader of the Black Sail Pirates, and the captains below were also extremely convinced of him, especially Zhou Geng and Liang Hong's old subordinates, if Liang Hong didn't approve of this matter, Gangzi wouldn't believe it if he was killed, Liang Hong smiled: "I'll make a little suggestion." ”

Gangzi said: "After a while, you take the three of them to bring gifts to apologize to them, everyone is a colleague, don't stiffen the relationship." ”

Liang Hong twisted his neck: "What are you sorry for, Zhou Geng and they were beaten, it's good not to trouble them, we are pirates, drinking and fighting are hobbies; I think they are also very good at land means, and the sea gang warfare is still somewhat useful, and in the serious naval battle, as far as they are rookies, give me a small sailboat to sink their brigs. ”
