The sun was shining, the weather was just right, and today was a great day to sail. Igrik, who had just gotten up from the Commodore quarters at Naval Camp Stormhaven, opened the window to look outside, stretched, and then made his bed at great speed, picked up his toiletries, and went into the private bathroom next to him to start washing. Even if the company's military does not pay attention to the hierarchy, and the officials are not allowed to enjoy the luxury of the subordinates, there are still advantages.

After half a year in the military academy, all of Iguk's problems were voluntarily corrected. Now, there is no difference between him and a qualified Chinese sergeant in the 21st century, capable, direct, and disciplined. After two minutes of washing, Igic put on his crisp white brigadier uniform. The naval uniform of the Yanhuang Trading Company, a completely pirated version of the Chinese Navy in the 21st century, was dressed in a clean white suit-style military uniform, several medals, a pair of epaulettes, and a hat.

Born from the heart, it is best reflected in Igcik. He used to be a violent slave trader, and he was not a good man at first glance. It's only been a few years, and he has actually become a handsome soldier. The original bit of violence has also been transformed into the majesty of a soldier. After getting dressed and sorting out the details, ten minutes later, Izuk left the Navy building and walked to the cafeteria. Along the way, there were naval soldiers dressed in crisp white uniforms, some of them newly recruited citizens, and the others were his former subordinates.

One by one, the warriors saluted him, and Igjik's hands were almost sour when he returned the salute. However, he is still willing to be in Africa, which is a kind of respect, and he is now the biggest officer in the navy. When I came to the Navy Canteen, I directly served a breakfast that included steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks and eggs. The food of the army is free, and you can eat as much as you want, but you are not allowed to waste anything. Breakfast is simple, but it is very much in line with the taste of Izuk, three times five divided by two to solve the breakfast, burp, and walk to the Navy Square.

Today is a big day for the Yanhuang Trading Company Navy. The Navy was formally established today, and Xiao Lin will personally come to present the flag, and at the same time, 10 037 submarine hunters and 10 Type 024 missile boats will be officially handed over to the Navy. Together with one battleship, four cruisers and ten frigates, which were being refitted and were ready to be converted into sailing ships, the company's first ocean combat fleet was formed. It is responsible for fighting the enemy's naval power and the most rampant piracy of the era, and maintaining the stability of the company's territorial waters and coastal territories.

As the current leader of the navy, Ijik had to be there early. Unexpectedly, by the time he arrived, there were already many naval soldiers waiting here in the square. At a glance, I knew that they were all eager hairy boys, and they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, so they got up early and came early. Ijik looked and walked straight to his place, where everyone sat in the front row and waited for the flag ceremony to begin. Originally, he could have entered the central control room to see them operate the broadcasting equipment, but today, don't bother people.

It wasn't until ten minutes before the flag presentation ceremony began that Xiao Lin finally took Yu Xiao and Qu Jun into the naval base in the land armored "Owl Beast". The ship had already been sent directly to the base, and Xiao Lin didn't need to follow him. If it weren't for the fact that the matter was too grand, Xiao Lin, who was going crazy, would probably have let Yu Xiao and Qu Jun come. Although the two of them are also very tired, the younger brother just wants to share the worries of the boss. However, in order to show the importance of the Navy, Sholin came on his own.

When Igic saw the three of them, he immediately got up and stepped forward to salute. For these three young people who single-handedly created the behemoth of Yanhuang Trading Company, even if he was much older, Igik couldn't suppress the reverence in his heart. Xiao Lin and the three of them returned the salute and sat down next to him. Sholin said a few words to Igic, comforting Igic, who was starting to get nervous, and waited for the ceremony to begin. There is no need for a curtain, as soon as the time comes, Yu Xiao will first come to the stage and talk about the confirmed naval regulations.

Then, it was time for Shotin to come on.

"Originally, I was very tired today, but when I arrived at the storm base, my tiredness quickly left my body. Do you know why? Because I saw you, a young navyman in the prime of his life. The Yan Huang Trading Company is a very young force, only 7 years have passed since its founding in 1717, but we are already a powerful force with a population of more than 600,000 and a regular army of 45,000 people. ”

"Our army, with great success, has defeated the recalcitrant tribal alliance, defeated the French, and even the British, now they can only tremble under their tiger might. For you, I hope that you can also be like the Army, hone your skills in training, and be invincible in battle, so that everyone knows that the Yanhuang Trading Company, the Army is a tiger, and the Navy is also a fierce dragon on the sea. Tell me, do you have faith?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Very good, full of energy, I have given you the best ship, the most comfortable base. And I hope that in a year's time, I hope that you can give me an extremely stable sea frontier, and I will always pay attention to your growth. Now, I would like to announce the official commencement of the Navy's flag presentation ceremony. Commodore Ijik is invited to come to the stage to accept the naval flag and formalize the naval number. ”

When the passionate "The People's Navy Marches Forward" (the military song of the Chinese Navy in the 21st century) sounded, Izik held back his excitement, stood up, and walked up from the other side of the rostrum in a very standard walking posture. and Xiao Lin saluted each other, and at the climax of the military song, they took over the naval flag in Xiao Lin's hand. The front flags are all azure blue, with two swords pinned behind the shield in the center. It represents the navy, is the company's shield on the sea, and at the same time is the sword that kills the enemy.

Sholin then gave the microphone to Igcik to speak to his men. Fortunately, Igcik was not so excited that he dropped the chain and opened his mouth in time.

"A lot of people here have an understanding of my past. That's right, I used to be a slave trader that everyone hated, dark, bloody, ugly. However, I was fortunate enough to meet our leader, Field Marshal Sholin, and under his influence, I was able to regain my former dream of becoming a navy. I had served in the British Navy. But there, I realized that my dream had not been realized. ”

"All fleets, firmly held in the hands of the nobility. If a commoner does not have outstanding talents, does not defect to a nobleman, he will not have the opportunity to be promoted at all. And even if you have both, you won't become a high-ranking naval officer. To be able to reach the middle level, the price you want to pay is not something that any aspiring navy can imagine. The nobles used ordinary naval soldiers as slaves, and if they didn't want to, they might die on the sea for no apparent reason. ”

"However, this is definitely not the case with our Yanhuang Trading Company. Regardless of our ranks, everyone is equal, and our superiors will no longer rob you of your merits, will no longer beat and scold you at will, and will not threaten your life. Everyone, as long as you work hard, as long as you pay your sweat, you can even reach my current height. The company has given us such excellent conditions, we should work harder. Here, I made a military order, and in a year, we will be the only one left in North America, everyone, would you like to join me?"

"Willing to !!"

The whole flag-giving ceremony ended in a warm atmosphere. The main generals and outstanding navies all took a photo with Xiao Lin. Photographs have become a treasure for everyone's life. Xiao Lin had lunch with the generals, and after a few words of relief, he left in the car. The three of them still have a lot to do, and they have to go back to the office to deal with government affairs. And Ijik immediately took all the officers who graduated from the military academy with him and deeply studied the information of the 037 submarine hunter and the 024 missile boat, and opened a training class.

First learn the theoretical knowledge, then the field learning, and finally the practical test. The navy's training process is a three-step process, and it strives to be activated by two 21st century ironclad ships within half a year. Missiles, which these companies have not been able to manufacture, will not be able to use them for a long time until the moment of crisis, mainly because they are figuring out the use and maintenance of radar, artillery and fire control systems. In this way, the training time is significantly shortened. As long as you first teach the three kinds of churches you want, and then teach the navy soldiers in the boarding practice and later training.

In fact, Ijik is also a second knife for missiles, and then they have to enter the military academy to continue training. Storm base, began the hot training and sailboat modification, and the British also received a lot of things of some value. They don't know about ironclads, but they know about the improvement of sailboats. The news from the spies was that the modified frigate had a headwind speed and was no worse than the downwind speed of their frigates.

The British were really shocked, if they didn't even have the advantage of the last fleet, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't defeat the company. The main thing about the ship is speed, and without speed, it can only be used as a target on the ocean. With speed, coupled with good artillery, it is possible to fly a kite and kill someone without injury. The British wanted to storm the harbor with their fleet and destroy the company's naval base and shipyards. However, they have missed the best of times.

After several months of construction, Storm Harbor already has a number of shore defense artillery bases. The heavy fist three-type developed by Zhao Menghai was activated, expanded to a 250mm caliber, converted into a coastal defense gun, and set up in a reinforced concrete fortress.
