Chapter 25: Reward
"I'm going to apologize to Alfred!" Charlie suddenly felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and said with a red face and shame.
"Come back! Let Blakeney go! Lord Blakeney, please go and bring back our stormtroopers. Hudlam sighed, stopped Charlie, and turned to Little Blakeney.
"What are you looking at, Alfred?" After Blakeney left the captain's room, he immediately saw Xu Mo on the deck of the ship. Xu Mo did not go back to the sailor's cabin, but leaned on the side of the ship on the deck to read a book.
“Cowa

。 (Victory or defeat in one fell swoop.) Blakeney, who had received a good aristocratic education, immediately realized that Xu Mo's famous words were from Julius Caesar's "Gallic Wars", and immediately responded with another famous quote from "Gallic Wars".
Xu Mo's eyes lit up, and he already felt his heart from Blakeney's words, even if Hedram and Gerhardt would not lead the Vestellos to pursue Clifford, I am afraid that the young man in front of him would follow him and fight Clifford to the death.
"The Admiral asks you to go back!" Blakeney said with a smile. In the sunset, the cute little face sparkles and shines with excitement.
……
"Alfred, you did a good job, and any Swedish officer and soldier who flew on such a battleship in the future will remember your name. In the name of the Swedish Rear Admiral, I promote you to Lieutenant Commander and the First Officer of the Vistelos as Stormtroopers. It's up to you to announce the rewards for the other members of the team! Hedram saw Xu Mo re-enter, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Samsara 228, you obtained the original design drawings of the battleship Vasa for Sweden twenty years in advance, and the results of this operation were recognized by Fleet Admiral Hedlam, and the honor value increased by 7 points. There has been no substantial breakthrough in the promotion of officers, and they cannot get honor points. ”
"Hint: Sweden got the original design drawings of the battleship Vasa in advance, and the world exploration increased by 0.23%, this world is a casual mirror world, and you can't get hidden story mission rewards, all of which will be converted into honor rewards, and Samsara 228 will get 10 honor points."
The original design drawings of the battleship Vasa? Compared with the full 17 honor points he got, another prompt made Xu Mo even more surprised. He was a minor military fan in the real world, and although he didn't know much about medieval sail battleships, he knew a lot about Sweden's famous Vasa sail battleship.
The Vasa Sail Battleship was listed as a third-class sail battleship in later generations, and it was not the top sail battleship compared to these super sail battleships of the first and second class. But most of the first and second sail battleships were built in the late 18th century and early 19th century, while the Vasa was built in 1625, a century and a half before them.
At the time, it was one of the largest and most powerful sail battleships in the world. It's just that the most tragic thing is that this battleship, which should have left a name in the history of naval warfare, sank in just over ten minutes because the then Swedish king Gustav II did not understand the construction of warships, and indiscriminately commanded shipbuilders to expand and modify the hull without authorization, causing the center of gravity of the Vasa to move upward, and the structure was unreasonable, and it sank in just over ten minutes of maiden voyage.
Later, the Vasa was salvaged from the water in 1961, and the world-famous "Vaasa" Museum was built in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.
In the real world, Sweden at that time was one of the most powerful powers in Europe after more than ten years of hard work by Gustav II, successively defeated Denmark, Russia, Poland, the Holy Roman Emperor and the army of the Catholic League, occupied the Gulf of Finland and the entire eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, invaded the Prussian region, and turned the Baltic Sea into the inland sea of Sweden.
Historically, Gustav II established a professional and powerful standing army, regarded artillery as an independent branch of the army, and fought in coordination with cavalry and infantry, using flexible line tactics, known as the father of modern European military affairs, and ranked 42nd in the list of 100 emperors in world history. Throughout the emperor's life, his war was driven not so much by his passion for Protestantism as by the adventurous spirit of the ancient Vikings.
Judging from the size of the battleship that Xu Mo and the others saw in the London dockyard, it should not be able to form the standard of the Vasa, at most it is a fourth-class ship, but it already has the rudimentary form of a sail battleship. Reminiscent of the Vasa being blindly enlarged by Gustav II in the later period, it is indeed possible that it will be expanded into a third-class battleship.
It is no wonder that just by letting Sweden get the construction drawings of this ship more than 20 years in advance, Xu Mo got 0.23% of the world exploration. After Xu Mo figured it out, he smiled bitterly, the current Gustav II has just ascended the throne, and Sweden is not the behemoth ~ in 1625, I don't know if there will be a tragedy of the Vasa in this world.
"Blakeney Bruce, in view of your excellence in the Action Plan, you are now promoted to Second Lieutenant, Navigator of the Vestelos, and will receive 5% of the total proceeds of the next privateering." Xu Mo walked up to Blakeney and announced.
"Yes, sir!" Blakeney straightened up, stared ahead, and replied coolly and loudly.
"Frieza, Ahan, Rasius Sykes, in view of your excellent performance in the plan of action, the three of you are now promoted to Naval Alternate Non-Commissioned Officers, Frieza to Deck Alternate Non-Commissioned Officers, Rahew to Helm Alternate Non-commissioned Officers, and Ahan to ...... Sail Cable Alternate Non-commissioned Officer and will receive 5% of the total gain from the next privateer proceeds. Xu Mo announced lightly.
"Yes, yes, yes, sir!" The three of them also replied loudly.
Ahan's eyes lit up with joy, he had received a hint from the soul seal, and he had received a full 8 honor points. Three points are action rewards, two points are promotion rewards, and three points are actually increased rewards for world exploration, which is really a bumper harvest!
Selena is expected to be jealous to death, and there seems to be no suspense in the battle for team leadership. It seems that this arrogant guy does have the capital to go crazy, no wonder the knighthood is higher than ours, according to his crazy personality, as long as he doesn't die in the mission world, it is almost impossible for anyone else to get more than him.
The corner of Xu Mo's eyes looked surprised when he saw Ahan's dazedness, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"All right, gentlemen, now let's go hunting, hunt that North Sea lion!" Hudlam shouted.
"Hooray!"
