Chapter 405: Blowout Rewards, Some People Are Happy and Some Are Worried!
For Governor Pierre Bled, since he became Governor of the Caribbean twenty years ago, the small island of Martinique is his whole world. Don't get me wrong, our governor was not narrow-minded, in fact, he went to Paris to report to the then king.
The ships that came and went came and went, as there have been many changes of power at the top of the French government over the past twenty years, from the king to the National Assembly, to the Directory and now the consuls.
No matter how the political situation in mainland France changes, it has nothing to do with our (shēn) Governor Pierre Braid, who in the Caribbean Sea will not care about their little broken island, no matter who rules the French. The Caribbean, for those politicians living on the continent, is just a barren land on the edge of the world!
The rulers of France never cared about the sea, they simply extracted the wealth of the Caribbean and piled it up in Versailles, Fontainebleau, and every corner of mainland France. They don't understand life in the Caribbean, just as they can't appreciate the beauty of Porto Saint-Pierre bathed in golden twilight (rì), like a city of gold.
In the eyes of Governor Pierre Brad, this is where his ancestors have lived and operated, and his grandfather, who led the fleet here, founded the city that bears his name. This is his hometown, and this is the place where his parents and grandparents fought all their lives!
There has never been a city of gold in this world, the real city of gold, far away in the sky, close in front of you. Gold, just in this merchant ship docked in the port, the real wealth lies in trade, in the weaving of merchant ships, in the establishment of a relatively safe and calm trade environment, so that goods can circulate, so that wealth will slowly pile up.
The British understood this, so they became the hegemon of the sea, while the rulers of France were as stubborn and obsessed with the European hegemony as ever, and the colonies located on the sea became "outcasts" who left themselves to fend for themselves. The British colonized in order to establish a maritime empire, but the French colonized just to follow the crowd and not be willing to be left behind!
Governor Pierre Brad often thought, "How nice it would be if I were the Governor of the Caribbean in England!" At the very least, I don't have to worry about pirates! The British have a sizable detachment in the Caribbean, which is more than enough to take care of those pirates! ”
Unbeknownst to him, the Ranger on which his savior was riding had now sailed into the port of Martinique in the afterglow of the setting (rì).
Han Xing recruited some sailors again in Martinique's tavern, Martinique is worthy of being the capital of France's colonies in the Caribbean, and Han Xing recruited more than 500 people at a time (xìng), so the Vostok can finally set sail again!
According to the Toulon shipwright's report, in about 5 days, the other four cruisers will be launched, which means that in five days, Han Xing will have a medium-sized fleet, with 5 cruisers and the flagship of the Vostok, a powerful fleet of 6 warships!
The next day, Han Xing went to the governor's residence and met with the governor Pierre Braid.
The splendid Doge's Residence, with its ornate two-opening black wooden doors, leads to an ornate hall typical of late 18th-century decorations, much like the Tuileries Palace. The floor is covered with a wood-colored cedar floor, and on the walls is a gold wallpaper with calendula on a blue background.
The walls are adorned with paintings, mostly with Caribbean-inspired subjects, such as sailboats sailing in the churning storm of the angry sea; Or depict a calm, prosperous harbor in which large, ornate warships are moored, and busy crowds pass through them, loading and unloading goods; There are also cities illuminated by the afterglow (rì), as well as portraits of some people dressed as captains; Including an oil painting that looks very much like a portrait of Louis XVI himself~
Han Xing could clearly see that Louis XVI, who had volunteered to be Han Xing's staff officer, had a stiff face when he saw this oil painting, and even his footsteps were stagnant.
"I say, Louie, you wouldn't be worried about being recognized, would you?" Han Xing poked Louis XVI.
"That, I suddenly remembered that the governor of the Caribbean seems to have been appointed by me personally, and he may know me~ I thought that twenty years had passed, and he should have stepped down, but I didn't expect it to be him······" Louis XVI sputtered.
"That portrait was given to him by me as a parting gift······· Louis XVI looked ashamed, looked at the portrait, and whispered.
"Anyway, if you don't say it, I don't even recognize it's you! Oh my God, it's so flashy, it's so generous, it's all silk and satin~ To be honest, did you let the painter use the (chūn) autumn brushwork for artistic decoration? Han Xing looked at the exaggerated portrait and opened his mouth.
"Well, I was still very young at the time~" Louis XVI said with a blushing face.
"Don't worry, I have also taken two photos that make me regret and ashamed for most of my life, every time I think of my narcissistic face, I can't wait to find a crack to drill down, and I won't come out in this life~" Han Xing comforted him.
"Thank God, the photo can be deleted~" Han Xing's next words can be called a "divine mending knife". Louis XVI heard that his face was really "heart-piercing", the photo can be deleted, but Nima's oil painting can't be deleted~ Shame, shame, I can't wash it away in this life~
"Well, the point is that in this life, people will always be impulsive and do one or two stupid things, the important thing is not to live in the shadow of the past (yīn), the wood is already in the boat, and to do our best to remedy it, to clean up the mess; Instead of living in the past and escaping from the future! Han Xing instantaneously turned (shēn) into a life coach.
"(rì) Ann, two gentlemen! I am the Governor of the French Caribbean colonies - Pierre Braid! What do you mean? Just as Han Xing and Louis XVI were chatting, they saw the governor of Pierre hurrying up to greet him and asked with a pleasant face.
"(rì) Ann, Your Excellency the Governor! I'm Captain Hanschel Segaard, and I'm also a major general in France! Han Xing took off his hat and saluted back, and at the same time took out the [Certificate of Appointment of Major General of France] and unfolded it to Governor Pierre.
"It turns out that you are a major general personally appointed by His Excellency Bonaparte! Forgive me for being disrespectful~ Your Excellency, what brought you to Martinique, this barren and remote Caribbean island? Governor Pierre Braider read the contents of the letter of appointment and hurriedly bowed (shēn).
"You've joined the forces of the drama (qíng): France. Your mission 1, Join the faction has been completed. You get 200 points! ”
"You used the merit item: [Appointment of Major General France], your military rank is at least general!"
"Since you are currently the highest rank holder of the French army in the Caribbean, you automatically take command of the French fleet in the Caribbean! (including ships and fleets belonging to other reincarnations that have joined the French power)"
"Your mission 2, Captain Ambition accomplished. You get 300 points, 100 prestige! ”
"You accept the second mission in the Captain's Ambition series: Three Masts. Mission objective, have a three-masted battleship with the rank of Major. Reward: 1000 points, 500 reputation. ”
"The three-masted cruiser you owned, the Ranger, has been detected to meet the mission criteria, and you have completed the second mission in the Captain's Ambition series, and you have earned 1000 points and 500 reputation!"
"You accept the third mission in the Captain's Ambition series, the battleship. Mission objective, have a battleship (battleship definition: the total number of guns on both sides must exceed 100, and the speed must not be less than 20 knots), and the force rank must reach the rank of rear admiral. Complete 5000 bonus points and 2500 reputation! ”
"Detected that the three-masted merchant ship you own converted to battleship - Vostok meets the mission criteria. You complete the third mission in the Captain's Ambition series, Battleship. You get 5000 points, 2500 prestige! ”
"Your current reputation is 3100! Your mission 3, Rise to Fame has been completed! You are rewarded with 500 points! ”
"You've got the second mission in the Prestige series, and it's familiar. Mission Objective to increase your reputation to the familiar (5000). Completion rewards 2500 points. ”
"You gain a prestige title and rise to fame (available in this world only): Effect, +5 Character Opinion for Drama (qíng)."
"You have completed the Captain's Ambition series of missions! You get a new mission, the Fleet Ambition series of missions. Mission objective, with a fleet of 5 warships (at least three masts). 5000 bonus points and 1000 reputation for completion."
"You've gone from 13th in the standings to 1st in the standings! Your total points are 7,800 points! ”
This wave of rewards blindfolded Han Xing, and within two minutes, the prompt sound of the space did not stop, it kept ringing, Han Xing still looked at the news record, and then he sorted out the clue.
First of all, now Han Xing is back to the top with 7800 points and is in first place in the standings. The second place is currently 1400 points, with a difference of 6400 points from Han Xing. Han Xing's reputation is currently 3100 points, reaching fame (1000), and he is 1900 points away from the next level (5000).
And the reason why there is such a blowout reward is thanks to the Ranger and the Orient that Han Xing already has in the [Mummy] world, as well as the orange merit item [Appointment of Major General France]. This time, the infinite space adopts the method of an open-ended game and a series of chain quests to gradually become fascinating, and the captain's ambition series of quests is automatically accepted, and Han Xing happens to meet its requirements, so there is a blowout reward like a swipe.
It's like playing a game, practicing a 100-level number, but never taking over a novice task, as a result, as soon as I took the novice task, I put a reward at level 10, and a reward at level 20, and I got level 100 all the time, so I can naturally get a soft hand~
"I'm starting to get a little bit of the same guy (shēn) as the second place!" Han Xing watched himself rise to the top of the standings in just two minutes. 不 (jìn) started with the brother who was the first in the original standings and had a "high score" of 1400!
In the distance of Port Royal, the bewitching blonde young man looked at the changes in the standings, and the "difference between you and the first place is 6400 points" like a "piercing magic sound", the anger trembled, the eyes were cracked, and even pulled his hair regardless of the image, and then roared hysterically like a madman:
"How is that possible? What's going on? How can anyone surpass my highest score? This can't be, this is absolutely impossible! Our team worked hard to earn 1400 points, how could anyone earn 7400 points? It's shady, it's going to be shady! He must have cheated! I'm not convinced, I'm going to report him for cheating! ”
"The report is invalid! After verification, the reincarnation (anonymous) points of the first place in the standings are all legally obtained! The sound of the space sounded coldly in his ears, making him feel like he was falling into an ice cave.
"Because of your false report, your free master team has been deducted 200 points as punishment!"
"Your Freedom and Democracy squad has slipped to third place in the standings, and the difference between you and the previous MotoGP is 100 points."
"What? I was overtaken by a bunch of punk savages? ”。
"Grass ~~~~"
I'm afraid he wants to break his head, and he can't imagine what kind of method Han Xing relied on to get a high score of 7800 points! Even Han Xing himself felt like a dream, what else could he say? (shēn) is the lord of the realm, that is, 牛 (bī)!
