"Samsara 228, you have joined the Swedish Navy, completed the main quest one, and obtained the mission reward: 3000 credits, 2 skill points. Trigger Main Quest 2: Raid (C+ level). The Swedish navy asks you to harass the Spanish Habsburgs for support of the Holy Roman Empire along the coast of Western Europe and in the Mediterranean, sink merchant ships and warships of the Catholic nations, and bring back rich booty for Sweden.

Mission Achievement: Sink at least 1,000 Catholic ships of more than 1,000 tonnage and bring back more than £30,000 worth of loot. Mission rewards: Depending on the completion of the mission, the more ships you sink, the higher the value of the loot you bring back, and the more merit points you can get from the Intersection of Time and Space battlefield. ”

Merit Points: A unique currency of the Intersection of Time and Space battlefield, which can be used to exchange various resource points, purchase items in the space menu, and can also be used to exchange for treasures unique to the world.

"Additional Side Mission One: Escort (B-Class). England were not willing to lose their supremacy in the North Sea, and their warships would often pretend to be pirates to rob Swedish whaling ships in the North Sea, sinking English warships that attacked whaling ships in the North Sea. Reward: For each English battleship sunk, merit points will be awarded depending on the battleship's armament. ”

"Additional side quest two: Privateer (Tier C). Gustav II needs more money for the war, and you gain privateer rights in the North Sea and the Mediterranean. You can plunder England, as well as any Catholic nation and merchant ships, and sacrifice them to Sweden as trophies. Since your ships are funded by the Swedish royal family, two-thirds of the privateer's proceeds must be handed over to the state treasury, and the remaining one-third belongs to you and your crew.

Tip: When looting merchant ships from other countries, you need to fly the pirate flag on the ship, otherwise Sweden will be forced to declare you and your crew pirates, and you will no longer be granted port access and judicial asylum. ”

"Alfred, I trust your abilities, but you must be careful, the climate in the Mediterranean is ten times better than that of the North Sea, but your enemies are a hundred times more than the North Sea. England, the Ottomans, France, none of the naval admirals of these countries were vegetarians. Hedram put away his smile and said solemnly.

"Thank you, Admiral!" Xu Mo sincerely thanked him, and from Hedlam's tone, he could feel the old boss's earnest concern, so he blinked his eyes and smiled shyly, "Since you are so worried about me, why don't you do me a few small favors?" ”

"What do you want me to help you?" Hedram asked suspiciously.

"Your Excellency Gerhardt is also an Admiral now, so he can't help me. That one...... Charlie and Manuel, how about giving me a first mate? Xu Mo said sneeringly.

Although his replica had spent half a year studying seamanship at the Royal Swedish Naval Academy, it was only a book after all. Don't look at the Swedish royal family gave Xu Mo a warship, and when he got on the ship, he was no different from a child with a ***.

For some merchant ships, Xu Mo may not have much effort, if it is against the admirals of other countries. Not to mention Hedlam, at Clifford's level, even a more experienced admiral can beat him to the north.

Think about the battle for hegemony in the North Sea back then, Hudram and Clifford pursued, counter-pursued, seduced, and counter-seduced. Although several reincarnators also played a big role in the broadside battle, it was the sea tactics of the two admirals that really decided the victory. If Xu Mo was allowed to face such an opponent now, he would have an empty stomach and bad water, and he would not have the slightest confidence to defeat one of them.

Charlie and Manuel may not be as good as these two, but at least they are much better than him. If there is such a first mate, he can still deal with the other admirals a little. If he didn't, he would have to wait in Amsterdam and let Blakeney fill the void.

"Haha, even if you are still a little self-aware, don't think that after studying at the Naval Academy for half a year, you can be a good admiral of the Navy." Hedram laughed, and even Gerhardt next to him showed a smile, "However, you really can't pry into this corner, Charlie and Manuel are both captains now, I'm afraid there is no way to demote you to be the first mate!" ”

"That's it! Looks like I'll have to recruit another one myself! Xu Mo smiled bitterly, and suddenly an idea moved, and a person appeared in his mind, "Oh, by the way, that old boy from Frieza is not dead yet!" ”

"Frieza......" Hudram and Gerhardt looked at each other, their faces a little difficult to look at, "Alfred, you've been in Uppsala, I'm afraid you don't know about Frieza yet!" ”

"Is the old boy dead?" Xu Mo asked a little bitterly.

“…… Do you remember Lasius Sykes? Hedram said heavily.

"I ...... Of course I do! Kolasius is already dead, what does that have to do with him? Xu Mo slowly frowned.

"Rasius has a younger sister who asked Frieza to take care of her when you left, and Frieza never forgot your trust." Gerhardt sighed, "Rasiu's sister is watching because she lives alone and has a large amount of naval pension by her side. During a strife, Frieza accidentally killed several thugs. One of these men was the only son of a fallen noble viscount...... Frieza was thrown into prison by His Majesty the Emperor......"

"It's just a gentleman!" When Xu Mo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I believe that we should be able to fish him out!" ”

"Alfred, Gerhardt hasn't finished yet...... "Hedram said with a bitter face, "His Majesty the Emperor would not have embarrassed a meritorious man for such a trivial matter, and his intention was only to punish Frieza, and he did not intend to let him stay in prison for long. But...... Frieza was originally born as a pirate, but when he was in prison, a group of powerful pirates rescued him directly, and now he can't find anyone at all......"

"Huh?!" Xu Mo slapped his head and was speechless for a while. Frieza wasn't dead, and of course he was glad that one of his first mates had chosen to fly with wings.

"Hehe, Alfred, let's go and see the battleship that His Majesty Gustav has built for you! We'll talk about other things at the bar in the evening! Hedram said with a smile.

"Hedram, I'm sure Alfred would be a good admiral, but he really doesn't have much talent for sailing......" Gerhardt stood on the steps outside the palace, looked at Xu Mo's distant back, and turned back to his companion with a wry smile.

"I know! That kid was naturally ruthless, and even the stormtroopers he led would be affected. If there is a separator battle, the two of us tied together will not be enough for him to cut with one hand. However, since the appearance of battleships on the ocean, the excellent admirals of many countries have gradually given up broadside warfare, and long-range artillery warfare has become the main tone of naval warfare, which requires superb ship control technology and navigation knowledge. ”

Hedram sighed faintly, "I'm going to let Tie Lile Tenney be his first mate!" ”

"The Italian?" Gerhardt nodded silently, "Tie Lilie has traveled the world with his merchant father since he was a child, and he has excellent seafaring knowledge and ship skills, and he has a certain study of astronomy and geography. And he was a captain himself, and although he was robbed of the ship by pirates, he was indeed an excellent navigator! ”

"Hehe, but, you can't just be so cheap that kid, since you gave him an iron courtesy, it's better to stuff that trouble into him too!" Hedram winked slyly.

"Trouble?" Gerhardt rolled his eyes suddenly, "You don't mean that person, do you?" ”

"Yes, that's the man!" Hudlam couldn't help but laugh, "The first time I met that man, he reminded me of Alfred. I wondered what would happen if Alfred had run into this man. ”

"Your Excellency, I have to say that your bad taste is still as tasteless as before!" Gerhardt said with a straight face, and halfway through speaking, he couldn't help but smile expectantly.

……

"Is this our battleship?" When the dock steward led Xu Mo and the others to the dock, looking at the behemoth, everyone's eyes lit up and they let out a **-like whimper.

Sweden Vasa battleship: a three-masted sail battleship, 72.00 meters long, 12.10 meters wide, 5.10 meters draft, displacement of 1530 tons, sail area of more than 1300 square meters. The ship is equipped with 100 sailors, 30 helmsmen, and more than 400 armed deck sailors, a total of more than 500 people. There were three gun decks, the lower deck was armed with 22 32-pounder guns, the middle deck was 26 24-pounder guns, and the upper gun deck was 26 12-pounder guns. A total of 74 guns.

This battleship, named after Gustav Vasa, the founding emperor of the Vasa Dynasty of Sweden, is currently the most powerful battleship in Sweden, and is even larger than the captured English battleship "Hell God" in the Battle for Supremacy in the North Sea. However, looking at the world's oceans, this warship is one of the most powerful war monsters.

Looking at the thick sail cables on the Vasa, as well as the dense cannon doors, Xu Mo clenched his fists tightly with excitement, and his heart swelled with incomparable confidence, this powerful warship would be their greatest reliance on defeating the Temple of the Gods.

In fact, in Xu Mo's Earth World, Sweden also has a battleship of the same name, the Vasa. In terms of its size, it was also one of the few battleships in the world at that time. However, due to Sweden's lack of shipbuilding skills for building battleships and Gustav II's blind modification, the Vasa was not properly constructed, and when it was launched, it sank into the mouth of Stockholm.

However, the Vasa in the era of sea power was different, and because of Xu Mo's relationship, Sweden obtained the battleship blueprints of England. The Vasa was built according to the drawings, but with an enlarged scale.

"Hehe, welcome, Lord Alfred!" While Xu Mo and his party were admiring their battleship, a bearded man came down from the battleship.

"Are you...... Captain Bright? Xu Mo looked at the bearded middle-aged man in amazement.
