Chapter 231: Appointment
By this time, McNison knew it was no longer time for her to speak. A pair of old eyes looked at his old partner, Admiral Aldrich, the commander of the fleet, whose words were his last hope.
After all, this matter actually did not affect the interests of the fleet at all, except for the poor Major Aven who would definitely be unhappy, the fat and lean meat were still in the pot of the Third Fleet's own house.
Admiral Aldridge knew he couldn't stay silent any longer, arguing like this over the ownership of a battleship.
"There was no such agenda item for today's meeting, but since General McNison brought it up, then..."
Boom.. Boom.. Boom...
The Admiral was about to say his decision when there was a sudden knock on the door of the closed conference room.
The knock on the door instantly attracted everyone's attention, and no one in the upper echelons of the audience thought that someone did not understand the rules, and there could be no such daredevils in this headquarters.
So, there is only one possibility – some kind of emergency has happened.
"Come in!"
An adjutant hurried in with a letterhead marked "Urgent" in his hand and trotted all the way to Admiral Aldrich. This is an urgent order from the Navy Headquarters, and according to the regulations, the letterhead must be delivered to the fleet commander as soon as it is received.
After the salute, the adjutant respectfully delivered the urgent letterhead that the tern had just delivered to Admiral Aldrich.
Without the time to pay attention to the unfinished meeting, Admiral Aldrich quickly tore open the letterhead and unfolded the letterhead, his eyes sweeping over the paper.
As he watched, his brows were already slightly furrowed.
So, after reading it once, he read it again from the beginning.
It wasn't until all the top echelons of the fleet couldn't help but shift their eyes one after another, that the admiral said with a slight complication:
"Military Order!
As an outstanding representative of the new generation of the Kingdom's Navy, the Kingdom's first 'Naval Rising Star' Major Evan Garlot and his crew members reported to the 'Port of Newinn' as soon as they received this order, and the files were handed over to the Military Department!
From today onwards, Major Aven and the battleships under his command will be under the direct jurisdiction of the military department, and above!"
Although the deadline is still two days away, all the navies involved in the hunt have all returned to the sea, and there is no need to wait until the end to announce the conclusions.
In the Third Fleet of the Naval Force of the Kingdom of Falletis, the "Conch" led by Rear Admiral Galliot is, of course, now the "Cape Storm" as a well-deserved "Naval Nova", and tops the list with a total of 15,300 gold lions killed!
Of course, except for the six "Navy Novas", the other top-ranked participants have their own rewards, and it is not in vain that these three months of hard work have been done.
However, what His Excellency did not say to the senior management of the fleet was that the order was indeed issued by the Admiralty War, but it was jointly issued by the War, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Royal Naval College.
This movement is not like something that can be explained by a simple "new star of the navy"! Is there something that even the commander of the fleet himself cannot know?
Glancing around the silent conference room, Admiral Aldrich, who had already made a decision, continued to speak, and continued the topic that had been interrupted earlier: "So... The fourth-tier battleship 'Tomb of Dry Bones' captured by Major Aven was officially renamed 'Cape Storm' and continues to be commanded by Major Aven, no, Lieutenant Commander Aven, so be it!"
After saying that, His Excellency the Fleet Commander directly announced the end of the meeting, and no one knew what the decision in his mind was before receiving this sudden letterhead.
At this point, the dust has settled, and a storm that is enough to affect his future has completely subsided before Ai Wen, the person concerned, knows it.
At the end of the meeting, the top brass of the fleet left the venue one after another, leaving only the silver-haired old man who had suddenly become a lot stiffer for a long, long time...
.......
The New World on the other side of the Black Sea.
In the "Coconut Tree Harbor", a pirate private harbor near Golden Bay, a three-masted pirate ship with a golden horn deer as the bow image slowly docked on the pier.
The "Golden Sea" is the center of maritime trade in the New World, and it is also the base of the early exploration of the New World, and it is the island of Arcana located in the chain of golden islands that explorers from Hirius first arrived a hundred years ago.
Because it is a semi-inland sea, the sea conditions are relatively safe, and there are tens of thousands of islands of all sizes scattered in between. In the following hundred years, it soon became an important commercial distribution center for the two sides of the Black Sea, among which the triangular trade connecting the old (source) continent, the southern continent and the new continent was the most profitable.
"Guns, cloth" - "Anuma people" - "gold and silver, tobacco, spices", etc., formed a sea trade route flowing with gold.
However, although the Golden Sea is home to many permanent bases of the Syrius Kingdom, most of the area is actually controlled by the Syrius Kingdom. However, because of the relative weakness of the navy far from the mainland, the Golden Sea has countless merchant ships coming and going, and it has also created a paradise for pirates.
Nestled between a series of small islands with complex hydrological conditions, this "coconut tree harbor" is hidden and difficult to defend, and two tall watchtowers have been built on the headland by the sea, and the defense force is arranged in a good way.
At this time, the wharf was mixed with black and white sails, and at least seven or eight large and small sea ships were docked, which were pirates and smugglers responsible for selling stolen goods, and it was they who together formed the black industrial chain on this sea.
Bang –
The ship's planks were lowered, and a group of pirates of different shapes poured down from the ship, led by a tall female captain in leather armor and carrying an exaggerated greatsword.
In addition to the exaggerated giant sword, it is also very rare for a female captain to have long hair that is as big waves as the blue sea. At least among the major races of the Old and New Worlds, there is no such magnificent and rare hair color.
There is no need for Anita, who is the captain of the ship, to take care of those trivial matters, and there is naturally someone on board to negotiate with the captain's meeting who is responsible for managing this private port.
Private ports are different from the regular ports opened by various countries, and the power of management, the rules of the port, the attitude towards pirates, etc., are very different, and it is also a science for a captain to distinguish what kind of private port can enter and what cannot enter.
The "Coconut Tree Harbor" is a joint management of the captains' meeting composed of several pirate captains, which is one of the many private ports in the Golden Sea with good scale and relatively good management.
The group strode towards a sizable tavern on the island.
The "Gin Tavern" opened by foreign smugglers is the premier high-end entertainment venue in this private port, and it can make several times or even more than ten times the profits of the outside world in the private port full of pirates.
The smugglers who can do this kind of business are all ruthless characters with strong backers behind them, and "Juniper Berries" will certainly be no exception.
As soon as they entered the door, the crew of the "Golden Horn Deer" couldn't help but shout:
"Old Sam, bring me good wine! ”
"Put juniper berries, Bacarano, Paiston... I'm going to have to drink enough today!"
"Yes, yes, I've been in 'Shipwreck Bay' for so long, I really miss the good wine of 'Juniper'!"
Seeing them enter, especially the tall female swordsman with a huge sword on his back, the pirates who were originally talking about wine in the tavern suddenly lowered their voices, and only dared to vaguely glance at them in awe, and quickly moved away after a light glance.
The crew members of the golden-horned deer who looked at this kind of deer had already felt too much recently, after all, their own captain was now one of the few third-order powerhouses in the "Shipwreck Bay" except for a few pirate kings!
Even if it is placed in the navies of various countries, the third-order grand knight is at least a commodore to start, and a rear admiral can't run if he has the corresponding navigation skills.
Looking at the entire pirate city and even the entire discovered sea area, the captain is already considered a top powerhouse, even if he challenges the pirate king who rules a sea area one day and is crowned as the new king.... Quite possibly!
And under the witness of many pirates in the "Shipwreck Bay", the new captain of the "Golden Horn Deer" bathed in dragon blood and successfully broke through the deeds of the great knight in a legendary attitude. It has completely spread among the pirates of the New World, and after more than four months of fermentation, it has long become a new legend of the "Misty Sea".
Therefore, when the tide rises, the crew of the "Golden Horn Deer" also raises their eyebrows, even in the face of the power of a certain pirate king, they can still raise their heads and look at the past.
"Aha! Listening to the birdsong in the morning, Old Sam knew that it was a good day, and it turned out to be Captain Anita of the Goldhorn Deer. Today's drink, Old Sam, I wish you to be crowned the new pirate king of this sea!"
Old Sam, the bartender in a white shirt behind the bar, is naturally a well-informed person, and he is not small, and immediately offers his own little heart to the crew of the "Golden Horn Deer", which is no longer what it used to be.
"Oh, thank you Mr. Sam!"
After thanking the enthusiastic bartender, let the crew go and relax on their own. Anita sat near the bar with her giant sword on her back, her fingers subconsciously curling her long hair that had unexpectedly turned into a different color after bathing in dragon blood and breaking through the Great Knight, browsing the various messages posted on the information wall.
The self-discipline she cultivated since she was a child makes Anita not interested in alcohol at all, because it affects her senses, slows her reactions, and slows down the speed at which she swings her sword.
Even on a pirate ship full of drunkards who could drink rum as water, Anita never drank a bite. Genius coupled with almost harsh self-discipline is probably the internal reason why she can break through the Great Knight at the age of less than twenty.
Even now, as a great knight, she has a strong physique comparable to that of a monster and is completely immune to the negative effects of alcohol, a habit that Anita has well preserved.
