"Tell me, how many men do you need?" Now that he had made up his mind, Hedram no longer hesitated.

"I don't need a lot of men, five or six are enough, but I want two kinds of men, one is a deck sailor with great strength and great strength, and the other is a man who is agile and agile in his movements. In addition, there are two people who I would like to be able to act with me. Xu Mo paced a few steps around the room, thinking and saying.

"Gerhardt, the sailors on the ship have not been disbanded, you go find some suitable people to come here and let Alfred choose." Hedram said immediately.

Gerhardt was the first mate, and most of the sailors on the Vestelos were recruited by him, so he was most familiar with the abilities and characteristics of each sailor, so it was only fitting for him to find someone.

After seeing Gerhardt go out, Hedram turned around again and said to Xu Mo: "Who are the other two people you specially designated, when you finish picking the rest of the people, I will go and call them over." ”

"It's Blakeney and Latheus, I hope they'll join me!" Xu Mo said with a smile.

"Blakeney? No, he's injured, and he's just a kid, so you can change someone! Hudram frowned and refused.

"Only Blakeney is irreplaceable." Xu Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Admiral, I won't let Blakeney take risks." ”

"No, I'd rather fight the British Navy than let Blakeney take the risk!" Hedram's face froze, and he retorted with determination.

"Alright! Then I don't have anything else to ask for. Xu Mo said helplessly.

"Take this, you'll use it." Hudram said apologetically, and at the same time took out his money bag from his arms and handed it to Xu Mo, "Your plan may need money, this is the pound I saved, don't use our gold kronor." ”

Xu Mo tossed the heavy money bag with his hand, and there was a loud gold coin crash sound in the money bag, and he stuffed the money bag into the inner pocket of his coat, and the two sat speechless, waiting for Gerhardt to lead a suitable candidate to come.

Soon, Gerhardt entered the captain's room with ten sailors and asked them to stand side by side in front of Hedram and Xu Mo. After seeing these sailors coming in, the corners of Xu Mo's mouth curled slightly, and Ahan and Selena were indeed among them. Although he did not specifically specify that he wanted these two people to participate, the request he made to Gerhardt actually included these two people.

The plot characters in this world are actually not very strong in personal strength, even if they are fleet commanders like Hedram and Gerhardt, when it comes to combat ability, they are only in the middle of reincarnations like Xu Mo. Other ordinary sailors are even more incomparable to Xu Mo and others, but this world also has its special feature, that is, it requires strong seafaring professional knowledge and professional skills.

Reincarnators like Xu Mo, if they were in the broadside battle, they could still perform a lot, but if they were shipwrecked last time, they would be useless heroes. If you don't know how to pretend to understand, then you will be like Ahan, a thankless helper. However, now the plan made by Xu Mo does not require nautical knowledge, as long as the physical fitness meets the requirements, then these two reincarnators with strong physical fitness will inevitably be brought by Gerhardt.

Xu Mo didn't designate the two of them, because he didn't want these two people to have doubts, and in this regard, he did it very successfully. As soon as Gerhardt said that there was a mission, their eyes lit up and they came in a hurry. If Gerhardt had specifically explained that Xu Mo had designated them, then it was very likely that they would have directly refused to participate in the operation.

"Gentlemen, you are all elite personnel on the Vestelos, and now I have a task for you. Before I reveal the contents of the mission to you, I must first state that this mission could be life-threatening. Of course, the rewards of the mission are also very rich, and after successfully completing the mission, everyone will be able to get 5% of the proceeds of the next privateering, and will directly become a non-commissioned officer, and will be able to enter the Royal Swedish Naval Academy for a year of officer training. Those who don't want to participate now can exit this cabin immediately! Hedram spoke solemnly.

As soon as Hedram's words fell, the eyes of the ten sailors who were looking at him immediately emitted a faint green light, and even Xu Mo was taken aback without mental preparation. What is the concept of 5% of the proceeds of a privateer, for example, the last time they plundered the armed merchant ships of the Hanseatic League, they got a three-masted galleon, and a large amount of cargo.

On the market today, a good three-masted schooner is about 20,000 pounds, and with a cargo worth about 10,000 pounds, a 5% gain is almost 1,500 pounds. This money was already a huge amount of money in those days, and a sailor could buy a relatively new small fishing boat, or two acres of land and a cow.

How could sailors who were adventuring at sea be afraid of danger, it can be said that in every naval battle, they pin their heads to their belts and beg for a living. If this kind of income is not a demanding sailor, I am afraid that after returning to Stockholm this time, they will buy some small assets to support themselves, and they will not have to go to sea to risk again.

As for Selena and Ahan, of course, they will not be tempted by these gains, they want the position of alternate non-commissioned officer. In the last naval battle, Xu Mo narrowly escaped death and made great contributions, getting 8 honor points, of which 5 points were obtained as the second stormtroop captain, and the other three points were the benefits of being promoted to officer.

Although Xu Mo didn't know how many honor points Selena and Ahan had gotten, one of them was a deck sailor and the other was a sailor, even if they performed very well, the income should not be higher than the 5 honor points of Xu Mo's second stormtrooper leader, and it was very likely that they would each get two or three honor points.

And Dinah, who was not in danger in the rear, actually got 5 honor points, 3 points for her part-time ship doctor to treat sailors, and 2 points for her to pray for the sea burial of dead sailors as a chaplain, which shows how important the position of rank on the battleship is.

It can be said that Hedram made a bloody investment in order to implement Xu Mo's plan this time, and none of the ten sailors, including Selena and Ahan, chose to leave.

Seeing all this, Hedram nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Xu Mo. Xu Mo knew that this was Hedram who had already helped him do enough pre~ plays, and it was time for him to start picking people.

Walking in front of this group of sailors, Xu Mo paced from left to right, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and the sailors he watched held their heads high with serious expressions, just like soldiers who were being reviewed by the general. Even Ahan, the reincarnation, involuntarily raised his chin, but Selena had a trace of doubt and worry in her eyes.

Xu Mo raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger and quickly tapped twice on the first two sailors in the row, then paused, re-observed the rest of the people, and after scanning it, Xu Mo already knew it in his heart, so he said slowly: "You two have been eliminated, go out now." ”

The two sailors, who were in ecstasy, fell from a high place to the bottom as if they had just been on a roller coaster, and had to leave the captain's room with a depressed face. At this time, Xu Mo re-named the two sailors, and just when these two people thought that they had also been eliminated, they were told by Xu Mo that they had been selected.

Looking at Xu Mo's choice like child's play, Hedram and Gerhardt showed appreciative expressions, and even Selena had a sudden look on her face. Hedram and Gerhardt are both graduates of the Naval Academy and have served as admirals of the fleet, and Selena is also in a high position in the real world, and all three have mature insights into personnel management.

Xu Mo's plan is very dangerous, and it requires people with excellent physical and psychological qualities, and the ten people selected by Gerhardt for him among hundreds of sailors will definitely not have problems in terms of physical fitness, so what Xu Mo has to do is to select people with excellent psychological quality.

The person Xu Mo eliminated just now was not the point, the focus was on his observation after the first choice. In the competition of ten people, it is obvious that some people will not be selected. Then in the case that two people have already been selected, there will naturally not be many remaining places, and at this time, the remaining people will naturally have different performances.

Some people will be anxious, some people will be depressed, and some people will still be calm, and at this time, there will really be good candidates for the task, so the two sailors selected by Xu Mo behind are the task candidates who really have good psychological quality. Of course, if the previous two people who were supposed to be eliminated also had good psychological quality, then Xu Mo would also keep him, but unfortunately those two sailors did not pass the test.

Two of the ten people were unsuccessful, two were selected, and the remaining six people were nervous again. Looking at them, Xu Mo suddenly had a feeling of being on top of the ladder and killing each other. Smash your mouth, it's really good to think about it carefully, no wonder so many people will do anything for power, Xu Mo sighed secretly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Mo didn't play any more tricks, stretched out his fingers, and recruited Yahan into the team. However, when he saw Selena staring at him, there was a rare trace of eagerness, and he couldn't help but have a hint of joking. The fake finger slid in front of the sailors, stayed on Selena's face for an extra second, and saw Selena's surprise look, so he took his finger back and teased the strong woman.

Of course, Selena knew that Xu Mo was deliberately teasing herself, although her face was silent, her heart was already furious. If this is in the real world, it is estimated that Xu Mo will have to be pulled into a small black room, what kind of reverse push, dog collar, leather whip, candle and the like, each of them will be enjoyed.

"Admiral, I've already chosen, just the three of them!" Xu Mo turned around and said to Hudlam.

"Well, the three of you stay, and the others go out!" Hudram commanded.

After the others went out, Hudlam called the planned Rahew to the captain's room, and Laxiu couldn't help but glance at Xu Mo gratefully when he learned that Xu Mo had designated him to join this high-risk and high-reward mission, and Gerhardt also relayed the content of the task to the four people.

Among the four, Ahan's eyes flashed, and he had already informed Selena of the content of the mission through the soul seal, asking her to consult whether it was possible that it was Xu Mo's trap.

Selena, who was in the sailor's cabin, thought for a long time, and finally said to Ahan: "Ahan, quit this mission!" ”
