On the deck of a warship.

Sean is personally leading a group of naval exercises.

Everyone was sweating like rain, although it was very hard, but the exercise in the past few days also made them feel that their strength was steadily increasing.

The most important thing is that Sean has nothing to hide and teaches them a lot of things that are difficult to access normally.

After all, even in the Navy, there are many things that can only be learned in elite training camps.

Sean was very patient and taught...

In addition, during the time they came to the East China Sea, as soon as they followed Sean to the East China Sea, they destroyed the infamous Black Cat Pirates, as well as the Creek Pirates.

This also made the sailors respect Sean even more.

And in the process, the hidden attribute of loyalty is also soaring.

This can be seen from the way the sailors looked at Sean.

"System, perform today's settlement!"

[Please confirm the settlement items and methods]

The system replied, as always.

Sean, on the other hand, plans to try a new way of settling today.

As for whether it will succeed or not, he doesn't know at the moment.

"System, I want to settle today's loyalty earnings in a quality way."

That's right, because of one's own actions, one can gain the loyalty of others, which is theoretically also a kind of self-benefit.

If you can...

[Confirmed, settlement in progress]

[After settlement, today's random multiple is 35 times]

In my head, the moment the sound of the system comes out.

Sean clenched his fist excitedly.

Sure enough!

It's not a high multiple, but 35 times isn't a low multiplier either.

The next moment, when Sean looked around at the sailors, he could already see...

The way they looked at them had gone from respect to fanaticism.

What this means, Sean knows very well!

Since this method is feasible, there are more and more effective options for building a team that is absolutely loyal to you in the future.

And as long as you make sure that your subordinates are loyalist, then even if you expose some of your hidden methods, you don't have to worry too much.

But speaking of...

If the rewards of loyalty can be obtained in this way, then...

Is it okay for a girl to gain from her own favor?

No, no, no, this level is a bit boring!!

Soon, Sean shook his head and dismissed the thought.

After all, it's a bit shameless ...

And...

It's so boring too!

And just then, the phone bug on Sean's body rang.

Blu Blu Blu...

"I'm Sean!"

"Brigadier General Sean, I'm Kahlan of Luo Lan Freight Company!"

"Huh? Isn't the previous transaction already done, is there a problem? ”

"No, no, Brigadier Sean misunderstood you, there is something else going on with you this time."

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, we recently got news from the Navy Headquarters that Commodore Sean wants to rebuild the Sixteenth Branch, and the entire project has reached the scale of two billion Baileys, I don't know..."

Hearing this, Sean was stunned for a moment.

After all, although Luo Lan's company is very famous in the East China Sea, they are a freight company, so they have nothing to do with this matter, right?

"It's true, but it's none of your business, right?"

"Oh, my Brigadier General Sean, of course it has something to do with us!"

"How?"

"Yes, there are three large construction companies in the East China Sea, and one of them, Tokaf Construction Company and our Luo Lan Shipping Company, belong to the same group."

Good guy, the relationship really has something to do with their Luo Lan shipping company.

After all, it is necessary to carry out large-scale construction in the sixteenth branch, and Sean also knows about the construction company in the East China Sea.

And this Tokav construction company, although also famous, rarely participated in tenders for the East China Sea Navy.

At present, only one of these branches in the East China Sea is undertaken by this company, while the others are divided by the other two.

But in terms of infrastructure strength, Tokav is actually better than the other two, but the same project price is usually 20-30% higher than the other two.

As for why this is so, let's just say...

After all, this part of the East China Sea...

Gee...

Therefore, Sean was originally more inclined to this company in his heart.

After all, he is not short of money, and he doesn't want to make any tofu dregs.

"In this way, I still have two days to arrive at the sixteenth branch, and you can arrange someone over there to negotiate."

"Okay, Brigadier General Sean, I'll tell the general manager over there immediately!"

Kahlan was thrilled.

If this thing is done, then his merit in the group will be...

I'm afraid it's enough for me to be promoted from Luo Lan Shipping Company to work at the group headquarters.

Can this not be exciting?

------

Two days later.

The warship finally returned to the sixteenth branch.

At this moment, the branch has been completely cleaned up after being cleaned by more than 50 sailors stationed here.

If you use it for a while, you can finally feel like you can live in it.

And on this day, the official order of the Navy Headquarters was also officially issued.

Sixteen branches were promoted to second-class branches, and the maximum number of employees was raised to 500.

At the same time, the headquarters will also allocate three medium-sized warships and one large warship to the 16 branches.

Not only that, in addition to warships, there are also a large number of materials on the list, the specifications and quantities of various armaments and training facilities, which can even make any East China Sea branch envious and jealous.

This should be put in normal times, I am afraid that other branches will make a fuss.

In fact, there are indeed several branches in the East China Sea, and they have made trouble on the side of the headquarters.

But this time, no matter who said it, Sengoku just said a word...

People Sean buy it at their own expense, you have to have the same ability as Sean, then you can do it!

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

The relationship is not generous to the headquarters, but Sean himself to fund it?

And it's still 3 billion Bailey!!

But thinking about Sean's current worth, it seems that again...

It's normal!

Slipped!

In less than a day, the protest storm of various branches was over.

Of course, Sean didn't have time to care about that.

At this moment, he is arranging recruitment.

After all, there are 500 people, but the actual number of the sixteen branches at the moment is only 100 people.

In other words, I still have to recruit 400 people.

Although it was not a matter of recruiting 400 sailors, Sean did not intend to follow the usual routine.

Because, some of the soldiers recruited in this way are too ordinary...

Not in line with their own future plans.

-------

"Brigadier General, do you really want to recruit troops according to such conditions?"

After listening to Sean's words, Lu Qi asked suspiciously.

As an adjutant, after knowing that Sean was going to recruit soldiers, he also carefully understood the navy's recruitment system.

Generally speaking, the recruitment threshold for the headquarters is 8 forces.

The recruitment threshold of Sihai will be lower, and generally 7 forces can meet the conditions.

It's even more bizarre on this side of the East China Sea, even if it's 5 or 6 powers.

But just now Sean said that the recruitment of the 16 branches must meet two conditions at the same time.

First of all, the Dao power value, which must reach 12 Dao forces, you know, even if it is a fully trained ordinary naval soldier in the headquarters, it is only 10 Dao forces.

Is the requirement of 12 force values too high?

And that's not all.

In addition to meeting the Dao Power requirements, one must also have a talent.

Physical talents, shooting talents, sword talents, and even some sub-professions, such as ship repair, blacksmithing, or cooking.

In short, in addition to basic strength, you need to have at least one aspect of talent.

This threshold is even higher than that of the headquarters.

"Yes, I'd rather lack than excess, I want the elite, not cannon fodder!"

"Because these people are recruited, and after all the training equipment is in place, I will also ask Pharaoh Ze to ask a few instructors to come over, and train them for half a year in the way of an elite training camp."

"Therefore, if you don't have any outstanding talent, or if your basic strength is not good, it doesn't make much sense to recruit them!"

Nodding, Sean said.

In his heart, this group of sailors was not prepared for the East China Sea.

Otherwise, the hundred sailors he brought over alone would be enough to subdue all the pirates in the East China Sea.

What Sean really wants to do is build a pirate guerrilla force.

As for what to do with the creation of a pirate guerrilla unit?

Naturally, he went to the great shipping route to brush up on military exploits!

You know, Sean set himself the goal of leaving Tokai in two years, and then trying to win a G-series branch, preferably in the New World.

And the head of a G-series branch has at least the rank of lieutenant general.

This meant that Sean would have to earn enough military merit within two years to reach this position.

Just farming monsters in the East China Sea can be regarded as purging the entire East China Sea of pirates...

That's not enough military merit to be promoted to lieutenant general, right?
