Chapter 141: Merchant Ships
"Boom~~~"
The wind roared on the sea, and in the midst of the monstrous waves, a cruise ship struggled to climb to the top of the waves, blue lightning streaked through the air, and the roar was like a judgment at the end of the day, so that everyone on the cruise ship covered their ears.
A nautical book fell from the slanted table and fell to the floor with a thud.
The orange-yellow light shone on the room, the figure bent down, and then put the book back on the table, it was a woman in her twenties, she had a delicate Western face, her long brown hair was combed into a ponytail, around her shoulders and hung down on her chest, her green eyes were withdrawn from the map, as if something was unwilling, the woman once again set her eyes on the map on the table.
The pen was tossed aside by the woman, she rubbed the corners of her eyes, and then sighed heavily.
The woman's name was 'Elise', she was a businesswoman, and it was obvious that she was a businesswoman.
In this world, the ship mother and the expulsion are the first combat force, each of them is a steel monster-like existence, but after all, the ship mother is not the power that everyone can have, looking at the entire Pacific region, there are only more than 1,000 admirals, and the total number of ship girls is only more than 10,000.
As a businessman, Elise is inspired to make a name for herself, she is twenty-six years old this year, from the age of seventeen to the age of twenty to have her own merchant ship, she has crossed the road of business for nearly ten years, but the development of commerce on the sea is far more difficult than she imagined.
The deep sea, the polluted species, and the sea beasts, all three, without exception, are monsters that Elise cannot fight.
Even if more than a dozen cannons are installed on the ship, and each crew member distributes various hot weapons, when they really encounter the enemy, even if it is just a deep-sea expulsion, they can only flee in the wilderness, because the power of the two is not in the same dimension at all.
In this regard, Elise was also frustrated and dissatisfied, but in the end. Still no more.
Of course, this is not absolute, many powerful businessmen will spend money to hire a few shipwives to escort them. Some of these ship girls are independent ship girls, and some of them come from the town guard mansion of some admirals, which can be regarded as making extra money for their town guard house.
But the question is, how many foreign coins do it cost to hire a ship girl. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?
The stronger the ship's mother, the higher the level of the admiral, the darker the asking price, sometimes, once you run down, the money you earn minus the cost of hiring the ship's mother, and there is only a little left.
But don't say it, no matter how high the price is, you have to pay obediently!
To know. Between a caravan escorted by a shipwn and a caravan without a shipwive's escort, the safety factor is not a dimensional, but, as soon as she thinks of this, Elise feels a burst of regret, that's right, there is no escort ship in her caravan, or rather, this time, she didn't hire an escort ship.
This led to a series of tragedies that followed. and the current situation.
A few days ago, the caravan encountered the deep-sea fleet, and the other merchant ships, including the escort ship, were all safe and sound. And none, such as Elise, can only be resigned to fate, but fortunately, Elise was not sunk, but managed to escape from the chase of the deep sea.
"It's been six days." Since separating from the large army, Elise began to drift aimlessly on the sea, the ship's radar was destroyed, unable to locate the ship's position, and wanted to locate it through the chart, but found that this is the Pacific Ocean, the only sea in the world that has not been explored, obviously, she entered the unknown sea: "If it continues like this, I'm afraid, it really won't be able to hold on." ”
Food has run out, and if there is no more land to replenish it, the merchant ship may be divided.
In the danger of life, even the most trusted people in ordinary times may do a lot of crazy things, not to mention, the current merchant ships are not all Elise's old subordinates, and a large number of crew members are temporarily recruited.
Inside, there are even outlaws......
After all, if there is no reason, who wants to get on a merchant ship without the escort of the ship?
What to do?
For the first time, Elise thought about the consequences of this incident, if they really couldn't find the land yet, what should they do?
As a businessman, Elise has also encountered all kinds of things, and the courage she has experienced from it, especially the experience, even the average admiral is not as rich as her, so she has made up her mind that once this kind of thing happens, she will definitely use thunder means to suppress it, and Elise believes that God will not let her die on the sea like this!
"Land !!"
Suddenly, amid the thunder, the roar of a crew member reached Elise's ears through the door, and she quickly got up, and then walked directly to the deck, despite the wind and rain. The rain was heavy, and the wind accompanied the rough sea, blowing away Elise's ponytail, but she didn't care, because ......
"The wind is getting smaller," Elise raised her hands, and could feel the wind and rain getting smaller: "It's going to be clear, land?" ”
Elise hurriedly took over the binoculars of the crew on the side, although it was very small, but it was indeed land, a waning moon-shaped island with a large forest, although it was only a one-sided glance, but Elise could still immediately judge that this island was very rich in resources.
Saved!
At least, they won't die on the sea......
The morning was full of life, the temperature difference on the island was not large, and the climate was perfect for human survival, but the summer dawn still brought a thick fog, and in the thick fog, the residents of the town guard house left the basic houses and came to the makeshift market.
Although it is a temporary market, the contents of the market, especially the various kinds of fish, may not be as diverse as the 11th ward of the Pacific Governor's Palace, but in terms of rarity, it far exceeds there.
Compared with the Governor's Palace, this seat is much more remote, although the straight-line distance from the deep-sea stronghold has not decreased much, but in terms of length, the seat where the town guard is located at this time is only half a month's voyage from the Indian Ocean front, and maybe as long as it takes another half a month, the island will sail to the Indian Ocean.
In this regard, Aaron also sighed: 'Maybe we haven't attacked the Pacific Ocean yet, we have to fight the Indian Ocean Deep Sea Fleet...... Of course, this is just a joke, Aaron will not go to the Indian Ocean.
The dock of the town guard's house, early in the morning, the loach got up from the bed, and then stood here, as the second-in-command of the original pirate ship, the loach was very important to Aaron, no, Aaron specially handed over the livelihood problems of the town guard house to the hands of the loach, here, the town guard house will summarize the opinions to the loach with the highest prestige, the latter is reporting to Aaron, and then Aaron will solve it.
After all, Aaron is an admiral, and he has a lot of things to do, such as strategic layout, tactical arrangement, training and life problems of the ship's mother, all of which need Aaron to worry about. But fortunately, Aaron has ten years of experience in taking care of the ship's mother in his hands, and he didn't see that Sister Li has been abandoned for ten years, can she still tie with the old fritter of cake sauce?
"I thought that guy had a hot temper, but I didn't expect that he was a very good person to get along with." Loach is talking about Musashi, the ship lady who gave him a dismount as soon as they met, even so, but after really getting along for a few days, Loach found that Musashi is actually not so difficult to get along with, on the contrary, she is very concerned about the 30 D-class ship girls under her command, and she is also very concerned about the security work of the town guard, at least in the eyes of Loach, Musashi is a very serious and responsible Minister of Guard.
Musashi's shortcomings are not absent, but if anything, it may only be the cruelty to the enemy.
Thinking about the beasts that attacked the town guard, as well as the sea beasts and polluted species that appeared on the docks, their fate, and the scene of being crushed into meat sauce, Loach said that he had never seen such a cruel ship girl in his life.
It was for this reason that rumors of Musashi ―――――― exterminationists began to circulate in the town.
Human beings are accustomed to worshipping heroes, and the heroes of this world are undoubtedly those ship girls, Aaron has a lot of powerful ship girls, which seems to create a great sense of confidence and glory for the residents of the town guard, just imagine, their own admiral has such a powerful force, how can they not be proud?
Not to mention Sister King Kong, who they respected and loved the most, the rest, whether it was the Glacier Pill with superb medical skills or Bismarck, who was always full of enthusiasm, left a deep impression on the hearts of the residents of the town guard mansion.
When she went to sea, Bismarck was the escort ship's mother, her strength, her care and concern for the fishermen, fell on everyone's heart, perhaps because she endured too much care from Aaron, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, Bismarck also learned a lot of things, such as how to take care of people, how to coordinate enthusiasm, which brought Bismarck a lot of popularity.
As for the Glacier Pill, it has a quality ability that can be called against the sky, almost everyone has been treated by the Glacier Pill, with a beautiful appearance and a gentle smile, to be honest, the residents of the Town Guard Mansion were able to settle down so quickly, and the Glacier Pill contributed a lot.
Musashi and Dafeng, respectively the minister and deputy minister of the Ministry of Security, often help the residents solve problems, everyone is very familiar with this, in addition, Sister Li has hardly appeared in front of everyone, Beizhai sometimes comes to buy things, but there are not many opportunities to fight, so for these two ship girls, especially Sister Li, many residents just have such a concept, the laser cannon at that time, a terrifying moment.
However, listening to their King Kong sister, Aaron also has a ship girl, a ship girl with very terrible strength......
"Huh?!"
The loach that was strolling suddenly felt something, and the drifting on the sea made his senses get a very terrifying boost, although it can't be compared with the ship girl, but in humans, the loach is tantamount to a superhuman existence, and this is also one of the important reasons why Aaron values him.
The loach immediately squinted his eyes, but unfortunately the fog was too big, so he could only try to listen: "This is, the sound of gunfire?" ”
Sure enough, not long after Loach said this, a huge freighter appeared in Loach's sight, and twenty meters away, a freighter was approaching their town guard's mansion, and at the same time, on the merchant ship, a man with a gloomy face licked his tongue: "This state-level island is mine......"
