As the closest port to Rome, the Port of Antium undertakes Rome's transportation tasks. As the capital and largest city of Italy, the city of Rome consumes a lot of money every day, and most of the supplies pass through Antium.
Port transportation, after all, sea transportation is more convenient and cheaper than land transportation.
So in the Port of Antium, we can see all kinds of transport ships, whether they are the most modern steam hidden wheel cargo ships or sailing ships from the Age of Discovery, you can see them here. Unload from these ships
The various items below continuously nourished Rome.
But today, at the military dock in Antium Port, the docking of a ship was enough to attract attention.
A large number of Guards officers and soldiers surrounded the port, and everyone else was driven out. At the same time, hundreds of carriages were parked together on the pier, which was so eye-catching.
Yes, this is Cosenz and his group. Their actions in South Asia turned India upside down.
After they left, believers who came to worship during the day discovered the tragedy in the temple, which immediately spread in the local area. As one of the famous temples in India, the Padmanabhaswamy Temple is also very famous. In this way
When such a tragedy occurred in a very famous temple, the British, as the rulers, naturally would not sit idly by and began to investigate immediately.
At this time, the convoy of Cosentz and his entourage would appear extremely conspicuous. As the captain, McClung made a prompt decision to disperse the huge convoy and set off through various roads towards the scheduled port of Umkita.
McClung's choice was very correct. The British had determined that the people who attacked the temple were leaving with a large convoy. They immediately notified the states and asked them to inspect the large convoy, and the treasures were transported into more than a dozen small convoys.
The convoy finally arrived safely at Umkita Port.
Although during this period, some people were a little shaken by the astonishing wealth, they still chose rationally in the end. Of course, McClun's arrangement also played a big role in promoting this. Basically everyone was dispersed, and everyone was in the team.
There are no more than 3 acquaintances among them, which ensures that each team has a restraint and allows them to think hard while their minds are busy.
In the following days, the convoys arrived at the port of Umkita one after another, which relieved McClung, who had decided to disperse. The treasures were then loaded onto the Bonhomme Richard, which had been waiting here, and then continued around Africa.
After one lap, we returned to Italy safely.
Their achievements cannot be overestimated, because this wealth is very important to Italy or Carlo.
When they approached the port of Antium, the officers and soldiers of the Guards were responsible for coming to meet them, so the officers and soldiers of the Guards cleared the area.
As soon as the Bonhomme Richard docked, the officers and soldiers of the Guards immediately boarded the ship, and behind them were the captain of the guard, Baron Filmicchi, and the steward of the palace, His Excellency Alejandr.
"Everyone, you have successfully completed this task. On behalf of the king and Italy, I thank you for your efforts."
The captain of the guard, Felicis Mickey, wanted to express his gratitude to these warriors who had returned from India. Of course, he also knew that just thanking you verbally would not satisfy these people, so he continued, "In order to cleanse you from the wind and dust, I have specially thanked you.
We have prepared a welcome banquet, with enough champagne and gourmet food for everyone to enjoy. Of course, I know that these are not enough to reflect your achievements. In addition, each person will receive a reward of five thousand lire, as well as a knighthood issued by His Majesty. I believe this is enough.
Let everyone make this trip worthwhile.”
Feli Mickey's words immediately made everyone who participated in the operation cheer. Give them money, honor, and respect. Nothing makes them feel more satisfied than this.
Of course, this is nothing compared to the wealth they brought back to the country, but they were all specially selected. Who participated in this operation just for the sake of wealth?
After sending these people off the ship, Filmic and Alejard stood in front of Macron and Cosentz. "You did a great job. You lived up to my expectations. This mission was completed very beautifully, Your Majesty."
Kudos to you for this.”
Felicity patted McClun on the shoulder and praised him.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. This is what we should do."
The captain of the guard nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Cosentz beside him. "You did a good job, Lieutenant Cosentz."
"This is what I should do."
After the same thanks, the palace steward Alejard stood in front of them. "Young men, I am very proud of your behavior. In order to commend you two, His Majesty plans to invite you two to have lunch."
Alejard's words immediately made the two of them look happy. Neither of them are fools. Compared with the previous rewards, this is the real big prize. This means that the king remembers you. As long as you don't commit suicide,
Then the great future will no longer be far away for them.
"Your Majesty, Baron, please take them to see His Majesty. I will stay here and be responsible for transporting the things to Rome."
"Your Excellency, Manager, as you wish."
So the captain of the guard rushed to Rome with the two lucky men.
In the carriage, neither of them had ever had lunch with a king, so they asked carefully and used those etiquettes.
"No, your Majesty is very easy-going and doesn't care about etiquette. Of course, I personally suggest that in order to avoid the boring lunch, you can choose some exciting stories about your experiences in India to talk about during lunch."
The two people who received the advice from the captain of the guard thanked them again and immediately discussed what needed to be said and what was not suitable to be said in front of the king. First of all, the bloodbath of the temple must not be mentioned.
So while the two were discussing, the carriage rushed back to Rome and arrived at the palace.
"Okay, you two, His Majesty is still waiting for us."
Taking the two rookies with him, the captain of the guard walked through the passage and came to Carlo's office.
After signaling to the two of them to wait a moment, the baron knocked on the door.
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, two commanders who have returned from India are already waiting outside the door."
"Let them in."
Then the captain of the guard appeared in front of Carlo with two people.
Then Macron and Cosentz saw King Carlo. Although he looked like a young man, they did not neglect at all and bowed to Carlo in a decent manner.
"I have met His Majesty."
"Okay, you two, no need to be polite. This time I took the liberty of recruiting you two to Rome in a hurry without having time to rest. In addition to celebrating you two, it is also to satisfy my little curiosity."
"We are deeply honored to be favored by His Majesty."
Carlo's unpretentious attitude immediately won the favor of these two people.
Then the two of them had lunch together at Carlo's invitation. Contrary to what they imagined, the king's lunch was no different from that of other wealthy families. Carlo looked at the somewhat restrained two people and said first, "Can you two talk about it?"
I'm a little curious about your experience in India."
"No problem, Your Majesty."
After being prepared, the two people immediately told Carlo about their experiences in India. As they explained, Carlo asked questions from time to time, making this lunch much longer than before.
After finishing lunch, the two of them said goodbye very knowingly, and Carlo graciously asked the captain of the guard to take them away.
Although they didn't talk about anything except eating this time, the two of them were very satisfied, and Carlo was also very satisfied. At least he remembered these two capable people.
