"Hahaha, okay!

After a trip to New Yingang, the people have not changed much, but they have become a lot richer. This is what you said, so I won't be polite!"

Milan, who has a wealthy family, naturally cannot lack one or two delicious meals and fine wines. What he is satisfied with is Ivan's attitude.

Although he has completed the qualitative transformation from "divineer" to "prophet" in the past six months, the knight level that he has been suppressing has also been upgraded. Both of them have broken through the second level. Now he is both an official wizard and an official knight.

To achieve this kind of achievement on the road to extraordinaryness at the age of only 20 years old can be regarded as a "genius" even in the circle of wealthy and powerful children!

But today's Ivan is no different from what he was before.

Although the extraordinary level has not changed much due to the short time, he has joined the most powerful and popular "Alchemy School", laying a solid foundation for the wizard's path.

In terms of military career, just one year after joining the army, he unexpectedly became the captain of the powerful captain, crossing a threshold that many military officers could not cross in their lifetime.

Although major officers who are official knights are all qualified to compete for the position of warship captain, because there are more wolves and less meat, the selection of captains has always been based on the best of the best. With the same strength and merit, those who are older and more experienced are usually

School officials have the upper hand.

The youngest captain before Ivan was already twenty-four years old!

Therefore, Ivan's position as captain was really hard-won.

Although it is only a sixth-level ship for the time being, it already has the most precious autonomy. Compared with ordinary captains, it is already a two-level existence.

There are even rumors that he has been appreciated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which means he can reach the sky in one step.

Seeing that he is a rising star of tomorrow, not to mention that he already has a good friendship, arranging a good ship is not only a show of goodwill for himself, but also a further investment by the general in his family! Why not?

After Ai Wen laughed and said that he had no money for the time being and chose a place, he took the lead in boarding the sixth-level warship "Conch"

"On behalf of the Third Fleet Command, I would like to announce that Major Alvin Garriott is hereby appointed as the new captain of the USS Conch.

I hope that all officers and soldiers will work together to fulfill the glorious mission of the Kingdom’s navy! Contribute to the prosperity and strength of the Kingdom!”

"Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

After calling all the officers and soldiers to line up, Milan read out the official appointment document of the Fleet Command as a representative.

Under normal circumstances, when a captain assumes a new role, no matter how simplified the process is, it is indispensable to send at least a civilian colonel to participate. However, this is just a formality. As long as Ivan himself doesn't care, no one will say anything.

The kingdom's naval management system is perfect, and with Milan, the logistics officer, taking charge, the handover process is very smooth. Especially since the previous captain has resigned, there is not even a single noise on the ship at this time.

Ivan, who was used to watching power-fighting movies and TV shows in his previous life and was preparing to take on a new official position to make a fire, seemed to have been punched in the air.

But it's normal to think about it. I have been appointed to the upper echelon of the fleet, I have extraordinary strength, and I have the honor of being a "graduate" of the Royal Naval Academy. I am afraid that I am not a stick man who dares to jump out and stab me at this time.

Even if such a person got on the ship, he would probably have been "accidentally" pushed into the sea long ago!

All the captains and officers from the navigator, helmsman, rigging master, gunnery chief, gunnery chief, first mate, second mate, and third mate warmly welcomed Captain Irvine's new appointment and expressed that they would actively cooperate with the new commander.

Work.

It's just that the boatswain has left the post following the previous captain, leaving the position temporarily vacant.

But that's just right.

"Warrant Officer Gary, please act as boatswain for now!"

"Yes! Your Excellency, Captain!"

Following Alvin to the appointment together, Gary, who had been silent all the way, came out to salute, solemnly and respectfully.

Before Ivan set off for "Newport", Gary had already accumulated merit and was promoted to the rank of Navy Warrant Officer. After six months of experience, he has become more calm and reliable, and has used blood and fire to temper himself into a qualified navy officer.

officer.

Of course, he is also an excellent deputy at this time.

After returning to Garbraid, Ivan just mentioned it casually to him, and Gary did not hesitate to give up on the potentially brighter future on the Gal ship. He chose to take up the post with Ivan and start over from scratch on a new battleship.

start.

Ai Wen naturally reciprocated the favor and relied heavily on him.

"Okay, let's disband!"

After the crowd gathered to greet the new captain dispersed and bid farewell to Milan who had completed his mission, Ivan stood alone on the poop overlooking the entire ship, holding the wooden guardrail with both hands, and breathed out gently:

"Oh, this is my team."

The "Conch" with a very unpretentious name is a three-masted fast sailing ship. Although it is the lowest level among all six-level warships, its actual size is 38 meters (meters) long.

, which is not much different from the lower limit of 39 meters for a fifth-level ship.

However, there are only twenty artillery pieces on a single-deck ship, which is a significant difference in firepower compared with a real fifth-level ship. In addition, the normal capacity is 195 people, and the actual number is 100.

There are twenty people, and there are also vacancies in terms of personnel.

In fact, when the sixth-level ship was designed, it was positioned to deliver messages and escort, so there is no need to expect too much from its direct combat effectiveness.

Besides, Ivan was not prepared to be tied to this sixth-level ship for the rest of his life.

After all, after the sixth-class naval ships, there are only brigs, sloops, corvettes, etc., which are small ships with less than 20 guns on board and are not popular at all.

However, the level is low and the cost is cheap. You can build a new level six ship equipped with artillery for about 5,000 gold lions.

Obviously, even if Ivan had the financial resources, he would never have entertained that idea.

A new ship with strict craftsmanship takes three to six years from material selection to completion. If you are too impatient, the service life of about fifty years may not be until it is flooded. A serious wave may cause the ship to be flooded.

rolled into the seabed.

Let’s not mention whether this plan is feasible.

At least Ivan is confident that at that time, it will be impossible for him to take a mere sixth-level ship in his eyes.

Let’s turn our attention back to the “Conch”.

Of course, this warship cannot be a new ship that has just been launched, but its service life is within ten years, eight and a half years to be precise, and it is in good condition.

As Milan said, he really takes good care of himself.

Especially since his appointment has broken many records in the navy (the youngest captain in the history of the navy at the age of 16, the captain who was promoted just one year after joining the army, etc.), it is even conceivable that there must be objections from conservative senior officials.

Under the circumstances, it seems even more valuable.

Ivan felt that if Her Royal Highness had not been appreciated, even if he had made great contributions, and even if he did not care so much about the traditional navy, he would not have been able to directly become the powerful captain.

Compared with the benefits, Ivan felt that the pressure on him was greater. If he couldn't achieve results, not to mention the shame on the face of the princess who pushed him up, it would be impossible for him to forgive himself, right?

Well, as a standard "princeling", Alvin said that we can't afford to lose that person!

Deng Deng Deng

At this moment, the footsteps of several people were heard on the stairs leading from the poop to the deck. But just by hearing the footsteps, Alvin was keenly aware of the hesitation of the owners of the footsteps.

I looked back with interest and waited for a long time before I saw the four sailors on the ship, walking humbly onto the poop.

"Your Excellency, Captain!" They discovered that Ai Wen had already looked over. The four of them could no longer care about the worries in their hearts, and lined up in front of him, standing at attention and saluting.

As the representative of the four people, Fleck took a step forward and stammered: "Your Excellency, Captain, we, we"

"Flake, Barrow, Brown, Birdwin, long time no see!" Facing their fearful and familiar looks, Alvin looked as usual and called each of them by name in an understatement.

Just a word, the four people's eye circles instantly turned red, and crystals were already rolling in their eye sockets.

During the recruit training, there were at least hundreds of new recruits learning swordsmanship from Ivan at the same time. They never thought that Ivan, a descendant of a noble family and a swordsman instructor, would not only recognize them, but also call out his name accurately.

The feeling of being recognized and valued surged in my heart.

Originally, I wanted to explain the origin of the relationship, but now I can't say anything, so what else can I say?
Chapter completed!
