Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Team's Flaws
French Empire, White Province, Pegg-Harbour.
There was a soft thud, and the two glasses clashed together.
Sojers poured the red wine in the glass into his mouth, this product really didn't know what wine tasting, and he drank the high-end red wine as if it were cheap dark beer, on the other hand, Raymond, who was sitting across the table, just slowly put the wine into his mouth and tasted it carefully.
"Big brother, thank you very much this time, if you hadn't come forward, the navy wouldn't have taken me, a pirate leader, in his eyes. After pouring the red wine in the glass, Sorjes said with a self-deprecating expression.
After the battle, Sorges first returned to the previous island to pick up Achedna, and then followed the fleet led by Raymond to land in the port of Peg, although the trade of the White Province is not very prosperous but it is also a military powerhouse, established in the inland sea of the French Empire, and it is also the province with the highest shipbuilding technology in the country, almost all the shipyards are military industries, if it were not for Raymond's presence, the ship repairers here may not really help the pirates repair ships.
Although the scale is huge, the damage to the four ships of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment is really too serious, especially the materials needed to repair the Xianglong are a little difficult to find, according to the estimates of the person in charge, it will take at least three days to get these ships back into service. So, the group and Raymond found a tavern nearby to drink and chat, and only the elderly Weibull found a room to rest in advance.
Waving his hand, Raymond motioned for Sorges not to mention it again, but the latter just smiled, and Genevia, who was sitting next to him, did not say a word, just obediently poured him a drink, but this time it was just a normal rum.
"Sure enough, it's better to drink rum and drink red wine?hehe, I can't learn that kind of thing that only nobles know how to enjoy, or my family Wei Ya understands me!" "Virtue! who belongs to your family!" While laughing with Genevia, Sorjes drank all the wine in the cup, and felt a little unpleasant, grabbed the bottle on the side and poured it violently, not caring about Genevia's coquettishness.
Listening to his brother's words, Raymond smiled bitterly, and the sentence that had already reached his lips: You should think about the matter of the gold medal pirate...... This sentence was also choked back because of Sojers's seemingly casual words, so he didn't persuade again, and cleverly changed the topic.
"Jack, after this war, you should have discovered some flaws in your team, right?"
When it came to business, the six people sitting at the table all became serious, even Achedna. "This is true, there is still a lack of people in the team who can be competent to attack or meat shields, although I can replace any of them, but there are still shortcomings. ”
Frowning, Sojes came to such a conclusion after thinking about it for a while, and his words also made Raymond rub his brows with a little headache, in fact, what Raymond wanted to say at this time was: You learned how to fight in the academy, right......
However, after saying this, in addition to Will, the other two main forces also agreed, which made Raymond even more speechless, helpless, so he had to tap the table with his fingertips, and said with hatred: "In your eyes, fighting is the most important thing? I'm talking about other professions! Do you have a ship repairer? Do you have a ship doctor?"
Hearing these two professions, Sojes was speechless, and after a while, he muttered: "Ship repairers shouldn't be needed, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, if the ship is broken, just find a port to stop the ship and find someone to repair it, as for the ship doctor, if you are sick, just go to the shore to find a doctor or priest?"
"It's a bullshit idea that's too good to be good!" At this moment, Will really couldn't listen to it, and Raymond didn't know what to say, or Genevia said roundly: "In this case, it's good for you to just say the reason, he usually is like this, and some things are confused." ”
"That's it, I'm stupid!" Sorjes didn't care about Will's taunts, and he really couldn't understand why these two professions were deliberately brought up by Raymond.
Seeing that he actually admitted that he was stupid, Raymond and Will glanced at each other, and also showed a helpless smile, and finally Will opened his mouth to explain the reason.
Speaking of which, if it is like the strength of the Dragon's Tooth Regiment at the beginning, then the ship repairers do seem a little redundant, after all, the strength is weak, and the ships they can loot are limited, and if they encounter the strong, the possibility of even escaping is not high, and if they can't escape, they will naturally die, so the ship repairers are naturally like chicken ribs.
But now it's different, there are five professionals in the team, two of them are fourth-order, two are third-order, and one is first-order, just looking at the strength of the professionals, the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group can already be regarded as a second-rate level, plus the Xianglong that was found later, although it still can't reach the first-class bottom line, it is also the top strength in the second-rate.
On the sea, enemies and friends, like friends, are getting more and more day by day, the number of enemies increases, the frequency of battles in the future will increase, and the previous battle with the War Scorpion Pirate Regiment can be regarded as lucky, none of the four ships sank, but if the luck is a little worse, the result may not be what everyone wants to see.
Therefore, the main role of ship repairers is still reflected in the time of war, their presence can improve the ability of the fleet to continue the war, after all, if the sailors run to repair the ship during the battle, then the number of participants in both firepower and broadside battles will be greatly reduced.
In the same way, the ship doctor is the same, although what Sojes said before is not unreasonable, but if the backbone of the regiment is sick during the voyage, and there is a foreign enemy attacking at this time, even if they can be repelled with the rest of the men, it will take more effort to do it, so the importance of the ship doctor is also reflected at this time.
"With all that said, you should know what to do, right?" Raymond said with a smile as he looked at his brooding brother.
Sojes nodded, and then changed the subject, and the atmosphere became relaxed.
Time passed quickly, and it was inconvenient for Raymond to stay here for a long time as a naval colonel, especially after he had reported the results of the battle to the King of Fran, and the king had also informed him to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, so after dinner, he said goodbye to Sorgers, but when he was leaving, he said something like this:
"If you want to recruit manpower, it is relatively easy in the port of Pegue, although there are more navies here, they have also received my orders, and they will not embarrass you anymore, so if you just want to recruit ship doctors and ship repairers, it is relatively easy. ”
Sojes, who had some scruples about the navy stationed nearby, was also relieved, and the plan he had drawn up in his heart before was also planned to be implemented in advance.
The next morning, everyone sat in a corner of the tavern, and Will and the others looked at Sojes sitting in the main seat as if they were looking at monsters, looking at this scene, it seemed that the head of the group had made some unexpected decision.
"Jack, that, are you sure you're really sober?"
Will grabbed the fork in his left hand, and there was a steak stuck in it, but he never put it in his mouth because of what Sorgers said earlier.
