"I'm here, Lord Baron!" Artillery Chief Ori, the Englishman who drove the steel howitzer in the hotel, because he was loyal to the fat man, so he consciously followed the fat man with the surname Chen, which means that he is the descendant of the Chen family.

"Is there a problem with you going to be the first mate of the beautiful Lady Caterina?" The fat man thinks that Ori can be the first mate because he has enough sailing and everything.

It's just that after taking these two ships, the fat man is not satisfied with his timidity, guess why?

It turned out that the fat man found that there were only four three-pounder guns on these two warships, and they were only iron cannons, that is, the sailors had a bit more weapons, and he couldn't help blushing for his timidity, because the guns on his ship were better than these ones, and he didn't know how much, and if he really started an artillery battle, he could directly use long-range artillery to abuse his opponent, unless the other party also had six-pounder steel cannons.

But at this time, he also knew, it turned out that at this time, the artillery battle or anything had not been recognized by the world, they always wanted to leave the other party's ship, even if it was a pirate, you had to leave the other party's ship to grab things in your hands!

And now the artillery has no ruler or anything, the accuracy depends on the experience of the gunner, maybe people rush over, but your shell does not hit someone, then when people jump over, everything has to look at the bow and arrow and sword.

"Now we're going to have a post-war meeting, and all the captains will hand over the work to the first mate, and then come to the Yinglong for a meeting." The fat man said solemnly.

Several captains walked into this small conference room one after another, and the warship had this benefit, having a small conference room.

After the fat man saw them arrive one after another, he said solemnly: "Maybe everyone is very strange why I want to hold this meeting, so I will say it bluntly, I hold this meeting just to ask you, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, you must first use your powerful artillery to hit each other, instead of jumping gangs, this time, we met pirates who are sick and don't have much combat power, but what about next time?"

This time, even I didn't think of the steel six-pounder howitzer, the steel cannon is not for everyone, and we just stepped on the shit that day, so we were lucky to get the steel cannon, then we should use this steel cannon, instead of jumping to the gang at every turn, in the future, the sea will be the world of giant ships and cannons.

In fact, if we had remembered the range of this cannon earlier, we wouldn't have had to run for almost two months, resulting in ourselves not knowing where we are now!

We could have tortured them with this steel cannon with a long range, what do you see they were all on board? Iron mortar, oh my! Scared the hell out of me! I doubt very much that they will hide far away when they fire the guns, lest they be injured in the explosion. ”

Several captains laughed, but O'Neill asked, "Lord Baron, if cannons were used in naval battles, wouldn't the ship and its contents be broken?" ”

The fat man roared angrily: "What is the ship and the things on board? Talent is the most important, as long as the other party is sunk, ensuring their own safety is the most important, we can build ships without us, and we can also transport goods to trade, but people can't, sailors can't go back to sea with you for that little gold coin, can you imagine what kind of life his family will live in the future? ”

"Like my first mate, Wufflin, if he doesn't have it, what about Nina?"

"That's why I said that when we have a huge advantage in one aspect, we don't use it, but use our own shortcomings to attack, that's an act of looking for death, I don't want such a fool, so I want to announce the decision that in the future, when my fleet encounters pirates, what can be solved with artillery will be solved with artillery, and I will never jump to the gang until the last moment!"

This is a short guard, no one will think that the fat man is cowardly, and several captains here enjoy the care that His Excellency the Baron cares about them, because they always have to rush across the ship in the first place when they jump into the gang, and the captain is also a human being, and he will die, so he can live well without dying, and the fool is not happy!

And the fat man, who doesn't care about the ships and goods that capture the other party, but wants to ensure the safety of his subordinates first, makes them feel very comfortable.

However, Caterina asked a question: "Your Excellency, our gunner, even my first mate Ori. Chen, his accuracy is not good, the accuracy of the target is very poor, and when he is close, others rush up after a shot, which is the same as not fighting! ”

"If you are on the right head, you will go to practice, there are so many reefs on the sea, when our ship passes by, let them shoot cannonballs at the reef, and if they hit the vegetables, if they don't hit it, they will stop in the middle!" The fat man decided to adjust the tone with a wave of his hand.

But Caterina hesitated: "But the consumption of gunpowder and shells will be great!" ”

The fat man smiled: "Didn't we see a lot of them when we captured these two ships?" Let's take it all out and practice! Do you want us to be like that Figo, who can't beat others and then becomes someone else's stuff after being captured by someone else? ”

"Nope! I'm just a pity, in fact, I'm just worried about money! You know, it's all bought with gold! Caterina said pityingly.

"It's not a big deal, we can earn gold coins, but we can't earn human lives back, so don't be afraid to spend money, practice!" The fat man is really not afraid of spending money, anyway, he has figured it out now, if he wants money, he can make a lot of money by bringing something to sell in reality, why bother with human life for that money! That's not his style.

The content of the small meeting was conveyed from the captains to the first mates, and then from the first mates, the sailors were told that in order to give everyone more chances to survive in battle, the baron should be good at using artillery to fight the enemy during the battle, and he did not hesitate to waste a large number of gunpowder shells, so that everyone could practice their artillery shooting skills.

As soon as these words got out, the fat man, who had already had a high prestige among the sailors, now had a large place in their hearts, and now even if someone took out gold coins to tempt them to leave, they would not leave.

It is difficult to find such a good nobleman in Europe, like the fleet that went to sea for two months now, or after a two-month escape, and finally fought a battle, it is a miracle that no one dies!

They all knew how the baron they followed led everyone around the reefs in the sea, and they knew that they had used the reefs again and again to hinder the threat of the warships that followed them, and even succeeded in killing a ship in the shadows, which was a miracle within a miracle!

Gold coins can be earned anywhere, but in the era when a few people were embarrassed to say that their ship had gone to sea, survival was the most important thing, even if other captains could make a very high price, but if they didn't come back, there was nothing.

Therefore, a captain who can lead everyone to life is the captain who everyone is the first to follow.

The fat man now did not know that his position among the sailors was on the verge of being piled up, and he was now reading the diary, not the notes given by the Duke of Auston, but the diary written by Figo.

He saw that Figo was able to find him at the beginning because of the garbage thrown in the sea on his ship, and he felt that he had learned something, and his seafaring skills had actually improved by one level.

But the point is not here, but Figo wrote that the captain who has been following him and never leaving him is sent by the Duke to follow him, and the purpose of this trip is to get the chart to the east, and immediately hand it to the captain when he gets the chart, and the captain will give him a talent fruit, and he will be a person with natural skills in the future.

The fruit of talent? That captain has a talent fruit there, but that captain has already hacked O'Neill to death with a knife, and the body has been fed to the sharks, will it be on the ship!

The fat man rushed out and shouted at the sailor with the flag on the bucket: "Send the flag, tell the Qiulong to come over, take the ropeway, I want to cross the Qiulong." ”

The ropeway was set up in no time! O'Neill stood on the deck waiting for the fat man, and as soon as the fat man came, he hurriedly ran to the captain's room of the Qiulong, and asked O'Neill as he ran: "Has the captain's room been tidied up, have you found any boxes or boxes, there should be a talent fruit there!" ”

"Talent Fruit!" O'Neill gasped: "Is there really a gifted fruit? The ship has just been received, and the captain's room has not had time to take care of it, so let's go now. ”

So the two of them quickly rushed into the captain's room and rummaged through the cabinets, and finally saw the strawberry-like fruit that emitted a faint red light in a small box, yes! It's the fruit of talent!

The two stared at this beautiful fruit, and it took a long time for the fat man to breathe a sigh of relief, put away the box containing the fruit, and threw down dozens of snakeskin pockets: "Happy today, everyone add food!" Hahahaha! ”

"Good! But Lord Baron, is there enough wine at night? O'Neill also woke up from his distraction and asked with a grin.

The fat man pretended to glare at him: "It's enough, that wine is now used as fresh water to survive, not for you to come to drink, back to the port, I'll let you drink enough!" ”

"Good! Then it's back to the port! Hahaha! "Although O'Neill lost his mind, he already had a natural skill, he was not like a fat man, he could eat indefinitely, until all the talents were eaten, he could only eat once, so he lost his mind about the talent fruit, went out to announce the news of the meal, and asked people to come to the captain's room to take away these snakeskin bags.

The cook looked at the meat in the snakeskin pocket and asked, "Your Excellency, what kind of meat is this?" ”

The fat man smiled and said: "These are python meat, I suddenly remembered that there is this kind of meat today, so I took these out for everyone to add vegetables, let everyone have a good meal, after eating, we hurry up and go east, we must return to the coastline in a short time, it is not a matter to always float on the sea, not to mention anything else, everyone wants to die in the harbor in their hearts!" ”

"You're thinking about it!" Caterina walked in.

said in front of a beautiful woman that he was going to prostitute, and the fat man was a little embarrassed: "Why are you here?" ”

Caterina gave him a blank look: "I found a small island in front of me, the island is full of large sea turtles, and there are a lot of trees, we can go up to see if there is fresh water, and then catch those big sea turtles and release them on the boat to improve the food at any time, when I used to follow my father to the sea, he told me that if you can meet a small island with thousands of turtles when sailing, then, you must have stepped on dog shit, or have a leg with Lady Luck, you must cherish this opportunity." ”
