236. The first officer, the second officer, the third officer

Many of the people gathered here were familiar faces from last night's banquet, and there were people in the distance who cleared the venue to prevent ordinary people from approaching.

It seems that they want to block the news and prevent ordinary people from hearing Nie Yuan's conversation, so that they are more worried about the current situation in Havana Port City.

Therefore, even the shape of the Son of the Wind is indeed among the sailing ships, with its unique exquisiteness, beauty and sense of speed, which has attracted the attention of many passers-by.

But ordinary people don't have the opportunity to appreciate it up close.

"Mr. Nie Yuan, you are here, we have been waiting for a long time."

"It's a privilege to be here to witness the Sons of the Wind and welcome his new captain, haha."

"To solve the problem of Havana Port City, a Son of the Wind, may not be enough, right? If you need to deploy a fleet, you can just ask, and we'll cooperate. ”

Seeing Nie Yuan and their arrival, the magnates greeted them one after another, saying flattering words.

But it can be seen that there are still people who really want to solve the problem of Havana Port City.

After all, the trade volume of the port city is limited, and many of them have also suffered huge losses, and few people would want this situation to continue, except for those who have made a fortune as refugees.

So their compliments to Nie Yuan, in addition to really caring about his current identity, are also because he is the only person who has hope of solving the problem now.

After Nie Yuan responded slightly, his gaze fell on the three people who walked down from the Children of the Wind.

Collain was the first to introduce: "These three are the first and second and third officers of the Sons of the Wind, and they are all very experienced old navigators, and they are also the second-level personnel within our United Church. ”

As he spoke, Collane was in Nie Yuan's ear again, and in a voice that only he could hear, he turned his head sideways and said, "If you don't like any of them after contact, you can tell me to replace them." ”

When sailing overseas, the relationship between the crew is very important, which is the consensus of almost all sailors.

Because in the open sea far away from rules and systems, many times when encountering unexpected situations, it is people's hearts that are tested.

In the event of a rebellion, the first mate coerced a group of sailors, tied up the captain and threw him into the sea to feed the sharks, it would be difficult for outsiders to know the true situation, let alone control it.

After all, sailing in the open sea is an extremely risky thing, and the mortality rate is always not low.

When the time came, the "surviving" sailors, in unison, collectively told a made-up story that the captain and part of the crew had been attacked by a sea monster, and even died of a heart attack, and the inquisitors in the interior would have a hard time convicting them.

As for the corpses?

We were afraid that after the corpse decomposed, the whole ship would suffer from the plague, so we buried it at sea.

What do you use to distinguish the real from the fake?

Of course, with Nie Yuan's strength, they would not encounter this situation at all.

But it should not be ignored that what they are performing this time is an extremely difficult abstract source task.

If at a critical moment, a crew member neglects some instructions because he is not getting along with the captain, then it is likely to cause the mission to fail.

And once the relationship between each other creates a strong gap, it is also likely to be blinded by the abstract source, or something, and then infinitely magnified, and eventually lead to evil results.

That's why Collane will give such a statement, so that he must not be embarrassed, feel inappropriate, and immediately propose a replacement.

After hearing Colrain's introduction, the three crew members also nodded to Nie Yuan.

"Hello Mr. Nie Yuan, I'm the first mate of the Son of the Wind, Dewen."

"I'm second officer, Nelson, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"I'm the third mate, Qian Ning, and I'm honored to cooperate with you."

Nie Yuan responded one by one with a smile, and then said, "Just the three of you?" What about the rest of the crew? ”

Multi-masted sailing ships need to be coordinated and cooperated by many people to be able to operate effectively, and Nie Yuan still has this common sense.

And the Wind Child does not seem to have a small displacement, and it can accommodate dozens of people to live and work on it.

Normally, if you only rely on three people to operate, it is still a bit reluctant.

As for Nie Yuan, they have no knowledge of navigation, so they must not be of much help in driving ships.

Even if Miranda and others have accumulated a lot of knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve over the years, they are destined to lack practicality.

Because they have been plagued by curses all year round, where can they have leisure and live in peace, hiding everywhere, but there is not so much safe space for practical knowledge.

Moreover, when they have not yet awakened, the sea is equivalent to a synonym for danger, even if they run to other dangerous forbidden areas on land, it is impossible to go to the sea.

If the unlucky attribute is triggered and the ship sinks into the sea, then there is really no chance to escape.

Buck, who is frantically absorbing knowledge, can provide them with some operational help when they go to sea.

But Nancy, Miranda, and Gustav, their personalities are doomed, and they must belong to laymen when it comes to ships and seas.

Hearing Nie Yuan's words, the first mate Dewen was not surprised, and replied: "The three of us just guarantee that even without the assistance of others at all, we can barely get the Wind Child up and running perfectly, and provide you with any help or advice you need when you go to sea."

As for the sailors, you can choose for yourself, both officially and within our United Church, there are a number of outstanding young men.

Of course, if you wish, I can also help you directly pick some old sailors to get on board. ”

Nie Yuan nodded clearly, and pretended to look at Dewen solemnly, and said, "First mate, can I trust you?" ”

Dewen almost didn't hesitate, and immediately took out the professionalism of the church staff, stood up straight, and saluted Nie Yuan, and said in a straight voice: "Wholeheartedly assist you in your journey, captain!" ”

"Okay."

Nie Yuan spoke, then patted Dewen's shoulder and said, "Then it's up to you to choose a few sailors for me, the number is not too much, it's all up to you to decide." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Dewen replied, then put down his saluting hand, and said, "Captain, when am I going?" Also, do you need me to pick one or two of the opposite sex on board? ”

Nie Yuan was stunned, and then thought that long-distance sailing usually does be boring, so many ships will invite a few people of the opposite sex to board before departure, which is a normal thing.

But at this moment, it is a little weird.

They're out to sea on a serious mission!

It's still dangerous!

Nie Yuan looked Dewen up and down and asked, "I don't know if this opposite sex you are talking about, is she serious or not?" ”

Dewen was about to answer, but he noticed the strange eyes of the people around him, so he leaned closer to Nie Yuan's ear before whispering: "There are both serious and improper, as long as the captain needs it, the public will fully reimburse it." ”

"Ha ......"

Nie Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said, "Now I start to think that you are a little improper. ”

But having said that, he understands Dewen very well, and does not feel that his professionalism is low because of this.

After all, there is something to consider.

That is, Dewen and they, as second-level personnel, actually did not have the slightest resistance when they encountered the Haiyan or other dangers.

It also means that they don't know if they will be able to live tomorrow after going to sea today.

But even so, these people did not complain at all, and chose to keep the vow they took when they joined the church, and gave their lives for the faith and all sentient beings.

Then there is no need to criticize them too much, do you want people to be respectful to their superiors and various teachings before they die, dare not go beyond the slightest, dare not express their character and thoughts, and maintain the demeanor of their grandson who resolutely abides by all morals, etiquette, righteousness and shame until death, and is inferior to his superiors, so that he can be regarded as a good comrade?

Nie Yuan didn't think so.

So he appreciated the text that was serious on the face, but made himself look at it from time to time.

Based on his own experience, such a person will often stand up more unsparingly, and be more pure and true when he encounters something.
