It was a sunny day, and it was a rare good weather.

In the blue sky and blue sea, the Gabrad Military Port, the station of the Kingdom's Third Fleet, is also particularly lively.

Merchant ships of all sizes come from far and wide to load and unload cargo, replenish and repair here, and at the same time, the thriving shipping business also provides the port city with endless nutrients, creating countless wealth and opportunities.

Day after day, year after year, this scene does not change because of who leaves, and it does not stagnate because of whose return...

At this time, the warships and merchant ships returning to the port for repairs are taking advantage of the good weather given by this goddess to organize sailors to maintain and maintain the ships. It is guaranteed that after the next time he goes to sea, the only reliance on the sea can still bring himself back safely.

Warship berthing area.

The sailors on a nondescript Tier 6 warship were certainly doing the same thing, but they were noticeably more careful than the routine on other ships.

"Hurry, hurry! We must wipe the deck clean by noon for the arrival of the new captain!"

Fleck, dressed in his cleanest sailor suit, instructed his sailors to carefully clean the deck, with the simple idea of making sure to make a good first impression on the new chief.

Both the warship under his feet and himself.

Of course, Fleck's mission is only the easiest part of the welcoming ceremony. From staffing, material replenishment, to weapon maintenance records, etc., there must be no sloppiness to prepare before the arrival of the new captain!

Don't look at how he looks like a sailor now, in fact, Fleck was originally the son of a fisherman, and he just passed the assessment last year to become an honorary royal navy.

After three months of recruit training, he and several recruits of the same period were assigned to this relatively ordinary sixth-rank ship to become the most ordinary sailor.

Of course, the situation of the recruits in the same period was similar, with the exception of a very few people.

After boarding, because the sixth-level patrol ships generally perform their duties close to the coastline, the days on the ship are relatively calm and safe.

However, this calm is only relative to other ships of higher rank.

Soon, they encounter a small pirate ship that has come from nowhere on a patrol. During the battle, he was surprised to see that the swordsmanship of several of his recruits in the same period was even better than that of many veterans who had served for many years, especially himself.

It's just that in the first battle, he actually killed a pirate's head very cleanly.

As a result, Fleck also showed his "outstanding" swordsmanship, and was then appreciated by the boatswain's sailors, and joined the ship's most oily 6th team with several recruits of the same period. Although it was more dangerous than his original position, he gradually gained a lot of prestige among the sailors while the salary was more.

The young man originally thought that he was slowly working hard to build up meritorious deeds, and maybe he could mix with the rank of warrant officer after the age of thirty. He would have been even more satisfied if he had been able to get into his current position as boatswain before he retired.

It's just that people didn't expect it.

The former captain took the initiative to apply for disembarkation because of his health, withdrew from the front-line battle sequence, and by the way, he also took away the boatswain who was a confidant. This sudden accident suddenly gave Fleck a new variable in his future plans.

The new captain will take up his new post today, and like many people on this warship, Fleck can't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Whether it is a merchant ship or a warship, the captain is the only authority on the sea, holding the power of life and death and the promotion of the crew. The change of captain was a twist of fate for them.

"Fleck, are you alright?" urged Baldwin, a recruit on the other side of the deck.

"It's going to be right away. Fleck checked the sailors' progress and immediately responded.

However, seeing his companion Baldwin instantly reminded him of the rumors of the "rookie king" that had been widely circulated among the navy soldiers before.

After all, the swordsmanship of several of them is exactly what one you have benefited from...

Suddenly, Fleck, who was watching the movement on the shore from time to time, had a new appearance, and three young men in officer uniforms walked straight in their direction through the boardwalk on the pier.

"Ahh

......

"This time you have made a lot of noise in Newinn Harbor, the news has come that the top brass of the Third Fleet is going to be fried! How about it, have you seen our Royal Highness in the academy? Is it as beautiful as rumored?" a short dark blue major officer winked at another young officer walking next to him.

"Why, you want to trick me? We've been gag-agged, and we can't tell anyone all the details of this incident.

If you have the ability, you can peek at General Snyter's internal intelligence, others are not easy to say, with the level of a general, there must be detailed information. ”

Even if I haven't seen him for half a year, this guy Milan still can't change his cynical gossip nature, especially when it comes to girls.

Milan, who is also a son of a wealthy family and has an elder brother above, compared with Anthony, who is the heir to the nobility, while putting the shelf obviously lower, he also lives more relaxed, but he is also more out of tune...

Hearing this, Ai Wen directly went back quietly, daring to talk about the gossip of Her Royal Highness, you are afraid that you will not die fast enough! Hey, by the way, as the guardian knight of the princess, should you give this guy a sword at this time?

"Ahem, it's better to just let him break my legs.

However, when you say this, I am more curious about how you did it at the time. Your appointment can be regarded as breaking the record in the history of the Navy, right? The youngest captain in the kingdom! has just reached adulthood! He has just completed his enlistment... There is more than one record.

After receiving the order from the Fleet Command, the Vice Admiral talked about it every day, and my ears were calloused. ”

"I just did what I had to do and had a little more luck than others.

After you've seen what a peak powerhouse is, you'll know how powerless I was at that time, even if I got the credit, I had to have my life to enjoy it!"

Milan's words reminded Evan of the night's battle, the rampaging of the quasi-legendary battleship, the blazing "mighty" battleship, the brilliant guns fired by the "Steam Fortress", and the maniacal laughter of the evil god that still seemed to echo in his ears.

In this battle, at least half of the soldiers who went to sea never re-landed again, and there was not even a single intact skeleton.

If your life is gone, you will have nothing! Thinking about it, Ai Wen instantly felt that he deserved the credit of this life and death.

The two of them were talking in front, and another tower-like figure silently followed, and the group had already walked to a three-masted galleon moored in the harbor.

"Look, we're here. This is the sixth-level warship 'Conch' that you are going to join.

There are just a few empty ships, and many alternate captains who have been waiting for several years are staring at it. Or the father I went to look for, and I left this sixth-level ship in the best condition to you.

Don't look at the level of the division is sixth, in fact, in addition to the insufficient number of guns, it is not much worse than a fifth-class ship!

"Interesting, please drink at night, you can choose the place, I will pay!" The importance of a good ship to a navy is self-evident, although he has the appointment of the captain of the military department, but when it comes to the specific implementation, there are too many loopholes to exploit.

If you have a good relationship with the high-level of the fleet that is currently in charge, you will be able to behave, so naturally everything will go smoothly, at least you don't have to worry about someone deliberately making it bad. If you don't know how to be a man, just throw you a small broken ship and be the captain, and then throw you a bunch of thorns for you to bring, then the situation is too uncomfortable!

I really should thank Milan for his help, Evan patted his chest and said very generously.
