The next day, the weather was clear and cloudless.

The ocean-going fleet was split in two.

Aven's Cape Storm, two Tier 5 ships, and fifteen merchant ships will sail south, passing through five colonies, before finally heading south to the naval base Fort Dilborn to change guards.

The Progressor, another fourth-class ship, will sail north along the coastline with another fifth-class ship and 10 merchant ships, eventually heading to Fort George, the northernmost naval base.

"Captain Robbins, goodbye, the garrison mission went well!"

"Thank you, Captain Aven, you can write to me at any time in the past six months, although I am about to take a back seat, but decades of experience are still somewhat useful. Hahaha..."

Standing on the dock, the two captains each led a group of officers on the ship to say goodbye to each other, and after a two-month voyage from the Old World to the New World, the two sides also had a good friendship.

"Okay, I will. By the way, this is a little bit of my heart, please accept it! Thank you, Captain Robbins, for your care along the way. ”

After a final salute, Evan handed Robbins a small wooden box.

Inside are several bottles of "healing potions" made by Ai Wen, because of the addition of extraordinary materials, it has an immediate and magical effect on ordinary trauma and large-scale bleeding.

In the New World, which is full of disputes, it is a rare medicine for ordinary soldiers who may be injured at any time. But for Aven, who can boil low-grade potions in a pot, it is nothing.

What's more, if you mix in the system, especially in a place far away from the local people and are not familiar with the place, of course, you have to make more friends.

"Hahaha, Captain Evan is really generous.

It just so happens that I have already used up my quota this year, and you can come to me at any time when you have time in the future, and I will introduce you to a few friends who have a lot of energy in the New World.

Don't look at the old Robbins for his inaction, he hasn't made any great contributions, but I still have confidence in my ability to make friends.

Even if you want to venture inland, I can help you find friends from the indigenous tribes. ”

When he finally heard what he wanted to hear, Evan smiled and said goodbye to him.

I have already made up my mind that I will often go to the door to clean up all the information, knowledge, and connections that this old officer has hidden in his mind.

It is not difficult for him, who has mastered the advanced productive forces (various medicines) in the extraordinary field.

He had a hunch that in the current tense situation, he could not be just a passer-by in the New World, and only by knowing himself and his opponent could he survive a hundred battles.

What's more, if you want to go out and explore the vast unknown world in the future, the New World is just a starting point.

Then the battleship waved the flag.

"Set sail!

With the "Cape Storm" as the lead ship, the fleet started again, the snow-white sails were full, and the bow split the waves and gradually accelerated.

In fact, the total area of these eleven colonies in the New World is about the same as that of Phaletis proper, and the coastline as a border is certainly not short.

The colonies on the east coast have a steady northeast trade wind (the monsoon changes seasonally) throughout the year, from the northernmost Fort Mon to the southernmost farsail collar, which lasts about fifteen days without stopping.

If it weren't for the need to avoid the Cape of Giant Cape, which jutts out of the Black Sea to the north of the New World, and the royal family's requirement to call at the royal colony of Tomstown, the fastest way to sail from north to south would have been the quickest option.

Evan led the majority of eighteen ships along the coastline all the way south.

Because from the southernmost Yuanfanling and then south is the most prosperous "Golden Sea" in the entire New World, and it is also the only way for all merchant ships to return to their home country from the New World.

Of course, this is the place where the competition between the various forces is fierce and the most chaotic. As a result, the kingdom also has the largest number of naval forces and merchant ships stationed here.

"Captain Aven, thank you for escorting you, and welcome to the Elod Tobacco Chamber of Commerce!"

"Your Excellency Captain, you can come to me at any time when it is convenient, Donglun Branch Company is strong and very sincere in long-term cooperation. ”

“......”

Along the way, merchant ships constantly docked at the port and left the fleet, and most merchant ship owners or directors would leave some small gifts, chamber of commerce VIP cards and other things for Aiwen.

It was all customary and nothing compared to the taxes they paid to the kingdom, and Evan smiled and then distributed it among the officers on board.

The large army did not stay any longer, and the merchant ships under Aiwen's escort continued to decrease.

However, until the colony near the southernmost point, the Far Sail Collar did not encounter a single pirate raid.

Actually, this is quite normal.

Although the "Golden Sea" has the largest number of pirates in the world, it is not the first to attack the convoy consisting of one battleship and two cruisers.

Even though Evan saw a pirate ship passing by in the distance through his seabird scouting network, he didn't pay any attention to it. Because as long as there are merchant ships on the sea, pirates will only cut off and grow again.

Something that could fundamentally wipe out the profession of piracy on a massive scale could be a change in the times, a technological revolution, such as the possible future of steam ironclads, or... The unity of the whole sea.

It can't be because of the naval artillery alone.

Finally, after eight days of separation between the two teams, Evan sent the last two merchant ships to Yuanfan Harbor.

Received a parting gift from two merchant ships.

The "Cape Storm" and the two cruisers did not enter the harbor with them, but turned their bows and headed out to sea.

......

Fort Dilborn was a naval base built on an island, not under the jurisdiction of any of the eleven colonies, who were accountable only to the Queen.

The main body is a large octagonal fortress that can accommodate five thousand garrisons at the same time.

With an excellent sheltered deep-water port and large tracts of land to cultivate, the permanent navy is dominated by a quasi-legendary battleship, the Brilliant and two second-class ships.

Although the second-tier warships rotate frequently, they maintain a navy of at least 4,000 men and a double elite army all year round, which is only enough to maintain the stability of the colony.

With the Far Sail Collar ruled by the Marquis of Amor family, it is the tentacles that the kingdom has paid a great price to extend to the veritable "Golden Sea" of the Golden Sea.

Their current duty is to ensure the stability of the colony and the smooth navigation routes, and ultimately to ensure that the interests of the kingdom are not violated.

Of course.

Considering the fact that the "Golden Sea" is full of pirates, and even Syrius can't be eliminated, this can only be a good wish, even if every merchant ship is equipped with a warship, it is impossible to stop the pirates from sharpening their knives...

"It's finally here!"

The three warships took one day to complete the handover of the guard.

The officers of the base, led by Vice Admiral Gustav, the highest-ranking military commander of the base and the entire New World, and Rear Admiral Demont Brand, the captain of the quasi-legendary battleship, held a large-scale reception banquet for the officers and men of the three warships.

There is no shortage of food and wine from both the mainland and the New World, and it is clear that in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the colony's strongest military force, logistics are fully guaranteed.

His Excellency did not stay long, and after a brief welcome, he let Major General Demont preside over the banquet, leaving space for the young people.

"Good beef, good pork knuckle, good cheese and mushroom soup..."

Aven, whose appetite grew with his physical fitness, was feasting with Gary, but he didn't expect Major General Demont, who had always been the absolute focus of the banquet, to take the initiative to find him.

He shook his hand very warmly.

"Captain Aven, we've known you for a long time, and today we're finally meeting you. On behalf of the soldiers and crews stationed in the New World, I would like to thank you for your invention.

'Scurvy' has always been a big problem for us, because the cost of human life caused by this disease is higher than the damage of war!

Thanks to your medical solutions, this strange disease is now almost gone! You have saved countless lives!"

Evan clinked glasses with the young-looking, probably mid-thirties young general. The influence attached to his previous unintentional "invention" has gradually emerged.

The number of seafarers who have benefited from this "invention" and the indirect impact of the disease are obviously much more far-reaching than they imagined.

Just like at this time.

Even if he is a newcomer, he has already been highly respected by Rear Admiral Wang Guo, the captain of one of the main officers of the base, the "Quasi-Legendary Battleship"!

This kind of treatment is far beyond the so-called "youngest captain in the kingdom" and "new star of the navy".

"Kimchi, malt or lemon juice directly in rum are all great ideas.

The vegetable called "bean sprouts" is difficult to operate on a ship that lacks fresh water, but it only takes a few days to get fresh vegetables as long as it is replenished with fresh water.

I've fallen in love with this vegetable! And didn't you notice that there were several dishes made with this vegetable at today's banquet? ha..."

Ai Wen also smiled and gave a toast to the major general:

"The general is too prestigious, and I didn't expect that the opportunity to be a part-time pharmacist would have such an impact in the end!"

With this good start.

He quickly mingled with the officers at the base, and became the star of the dinner after the major general.

And in conversation.

Evan also learned that this Rear Admiral Demont Brand also studied at the Royal Naval College, and coincidentally, he, like Evan graduated first in all subjects among the students of the same period!

Between sympathy and sympathy, the relationship between the two people has also risen to a new level in an instant.

"As long as you are in the New World, whatever happens, come to me!"

When he heard the major general patting his chest and saying this, Ai Wen felt slightly apprehensive when he first arrived, and immediately went to most of it.

has automatically made up the second half of the major general's sentence: "There is nothing I can't do with it"!

At this point, Ai Wen also realized more and more the benefits of fame.

No wonder so many heroes and heroes can't escape the prison of the word "fame and fortune", because it's really fragrant!
