In the morning, Yang Fan did not accompany his wives to have breakfast. He came to the large banquet hall on the ship.
Today, the captains of the twelve cruisers were ordered to have breakfast with the master. They knew that the master must have something to tell him. They just didn't want to make it too formal. At the same time, they wanted to get closer to their subordinates and cultivate feelings.
They arrived early in the morning by boat, the Royal Clipper. They had never seen such a big ship, and it was a cruise ship. They didn't know what a cruise ship was. In short, the ship you took was definitely the best.
These traffic boats carrying some young captains all raised the navy captain's flag, indicating that there was a captain on board. Originally, the captain of the cruiser, Yang Fan, was going to have the rank of major.
However, the army has just been formed and has no achievements, so it can only be used as a captain first.
From now on, whoever can make meritorious service will be promoted to a colonel first. A colonel is a mid-level officer. Although there is only one gap between him and a captain, there is a world of difference. There is a big difference in terms of future and salary.
.
As they approached the big ship, they couldn't get enough of it.
Their cruiser is designed as a three-masted, fully equipped fast sailing ship with a length of 85 meters, a width of 11 meters, a standard displacement of more than 1,500 tons, a maximum sail area of 2,630 square meters, a maximum sail speed of about 18 knots, and a limit speed of more than 21 knots.
There are 250 officers and soldiers on the ship, including 35 ship-operating officers and soldiers. There is a squadron of Marines with about a hundred people. There are about a hundred gunners. The remaining people are the captain, first mate, meteorological officer, navigation observation and chart team, and damage control team.
Radio station team. Carpenters, blacksmiths, medical teams, chef classes, animal keepers, etc.
After they received the new ship, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep well for a few days. They felt that the new ship was too big. But now, when they came under this giant ship with a standard row of 5,000 tons, they realized that they were a frog in the well.
The ladder was lowered from the side, and officers escorted the captains onto the ship. Captain Lin Yuan personally welcomed them on the deck. Lin Yuan was the squad leader of their first naval captain class.
So I became the captain of my master's ship. There is no point in envying me for this. Who can let others take the first place in all subjects?
"The master is waiting for you in the grand banquet hall. Come with me."
"Boss Lin, do you have a mission for us?" Zhou Shan couldn't help but ask. This time, he showed his face for a while.
The master observed the artillery drill. He was sitting on his Huashan ship. Moreover, their ship achieved the best results in this artillery drill.
"Well, yes, but I can't say that the master will personally assign you tasks later. You must be mentally prepared. This task is not easy." Lin Yuan said.
"As a soldier, who is afraid that the task will be difficult? I am afraid that there will be no task for us. I am still waiting to add leverage." Zhou Shan said with a playful smile.
"Let's see what you can do. You'll cry later." Lin Yuan, as the eldest brother of their generation, can be regarded as getting along with them. They are both brothers who came from the same dormitory.
As soon as they got on the boat, their eyes couldn't get enough of it. Especially the girls wearing miniskirts and navy uniforms, stockings and high heels, which were not available in this era. The eyes of these animals were opened up.
Han Pingyuan, the captain of the Qinling ship, drooled and said: "Brother, it's your ship that enjoys the blessings. Why don't I, the captain, stop being the captain? I can come to you and be the first mate."
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked. Lin Yuan cursed: "Shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will go wash the deck for Lin Bei."
"Please pay attention to me and don't keep looking at the girl's thighs. These people are serving the master. They are the waiters of the yacht's warehouse. They are not under my control. Let their boss see it and be careful to repair you."
"Ah, it's nothing. I brought the other captains here. Captain Xu, these are captains of various cruisers, and a brother of mine who came from the dormitory. Let me introduce them to you." Lin Yuan said quickly.
This Xu Xiu didn't know where he came from. He didn't graduate from the Jeju Island Naval Academy. He knew everyone in the school.
Xu Xiu's level of sailing business far surpassed his, and he knew it well. Several difficult problems encountered during the trial voyages were solved by Xu Xiu. The girl's origins were mysterious.
Lin Yuan naturally has no way of knowing that Xu Xiu is the second biochemical warrior after Ali. And Su Tongtong, the confidential secretary in charge of Yang Fan's study in Xincheng, is the third biochemical warrior.
Biochemical people are very expensive and require a lot of gold. But they are worth the money. These people are absolutely loyal and Yang Fan is very confident when using them in key places.
When he heard that this woman was actually the deputy captain and also had the rank of captain, he immediately shrank his neck, hoping that she had not heard what he just said.
Xu Xiu and the others got to know each other for a while, and they didn't talk too much. With a cold look, he said to them: "Come with me. This is the master's residence. There are many women, so don't look around."
A group of people entered the stairwell from the deck. Along the way, the decoration was very luxurious, and it was difficult to see these young guys. But the security was also very tight. There were female soldiers with guns at every intersection to indicate the route.
They walked through the splendid three-story high-ceiling hall and arrived at the grand banquet hall.
Xu Xiu knocked on the door and shouted: "Report, the cruiser captains have arrived."
"Come in, let's serve the food." Yang Fan's voice came from inside.
A group of people entered the door, and inside was a long white Western-style table. Yang Fan sat at the end of the innermost room, on a chair with a very high back. This chair was carved with complicated patterns and was gilded. It was better than the others.
The chair has an extra base and is one foot taller, making it look very luxurious.
Xu Xiu gave Yang Fan a military salute, then left and closed the door.
Lin Yuan immediately put his legs together and lined up all the members of the captain's class. He saluted Yang Fan and shouted loudly: "All the students of the first cruiser captain's class of Jeju Island Naval School, report to the master,
Please give me instructions."
Yang Fan looked at these high-spirited young men aged eighteen or nineteen with satisfaction. All of them were tall and handsome, with bright and clear eyes. They were all good prospects.
"After the ceremony, please take a seat."
"Here! Thank you sir for the seat."
At this time, the female soldiers on duty filed in, carrying breakfast. Everyone was served a breakfast. The navy generally followed Western etiquette, and each person had a meal. Yang Fan ate the same as everyone else.
Today's breakfast is a dozen freshly baked small pieces of toast, two sunny-side-up fried eggs with candied sugar, one beetroot soup, one vegetable salad, one freshly grilled sausage, and a cup of hot corn juice with honey.
A foot cup. There is also a small four-compartment plate with a small portion of pickles.
Desserts are milkshakes and egg tarts.
After the female soldiers served the food, they asked one by one if they wanted a glass of boiled water. Yang Fan had the habit of drinking boiled water in the morning. Hot water was also provided at the meals on the ship.
"I came to you today for a task. If you are interested, you can sign up." Yang Fan looked at them and said.
"Resolutely complete the task, please give me your instructions." With a crash, everyone stood up again.
Yang Fan waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down and not be nervous.
"You all learned when you were in school that the world we live in is a sphere. Ming Dynasty is just a small piece of land. I am going to send you to explore this world and go on a voyage."
