Chapter 339 The Unfamiliar Ship

Not long after returning to the principality, Allen issued an order and immediately summoned Tony, the director of the household registration office, to the palace hall.

Not long after, a guard with a sword hanging on his waist and a spear walked in quickly, came to the main hall and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty the Duke! Director Tony of the household registration office has arrived, and he is outside the main hall at this time!

"

"Order him to come in!" Allen said calmly while sitting in the main hall.

"Yes!" The guard bowed his head in response and quickly stepped back.

Outside the main hall, Tony, who was the director of the household registration office, was thinking. After he received the news that the Duke had summoned him urgently, he immediately packed up and hurried into the palace. He had no time to think about the reason why the Duke summoned him.

If it is because he has made great achievements, the Duke wants to reward him, or if he has some special task to entrust to him, it would be okay. I am afraid that he has made some mistakes without knowing it.

This caused the Duke to become angry and immediately want to summon him into the palace. If this was the case, then he would be in misfortune.

Thinking of this, Tony's face turned pale.

"Director Tony! Director Tony!"

At this moment, the guard's shout brought Tony back from his trance.

"Director Tony! The Duke orders you to go in!" The guard said with a smile after seeing Tony return to normal.

"Well..." Tony nodded, no longer thinking about it, and walked in quickly.

As soon as Tony entered the hall, he saw the Duke sitting in the hall, and then he spotted the old man Sekesa standing in the hall. However, Tony had not seen Sekesa. After taking a look, he looked away.

"Your Majesty the Duke!" Tony walked quickly to the center of the hall, bowed and shouted.

"Yeah!" Allen nodded.

"Your Majesty, Duke! I wonder why you have summoned Tony here?" Tony asked tentatively.

"Tony! This is Mr. Sekesa!" Allen looked at Sekesa beside him and said with a smile.

Tony said as Allen's gaze turned to Sekesa on his right. He had just glanced at it, not observing carefully, but now he found that the old man next to him was missing half of his right leg and his right arm.

He was holding a dark-colored walking stick close to his body.

"This Mr. Sekesa is a famous shipbuilder, and now he is also a member of our Red Dragon Principality. In the future, he will help the Red Dragon Principality build sea-going ships!" Allen continued.

After Tony heard this, he felt relieved. It seemed that the Duke was not looking for him to accuse him, and then he smiled at Sekesa as a greeting.

Next, Tony stood there quietly, silently waiting for the Duke to continue. After all, the Duke had not yet said why he had been summoned, but he guessed that it might have something to do with Mr. Sekesar next to him.

"However, because the manufacturing process of sea-going ships is very complex, it is impossible for Mr. Sirkesa to complete it alone, so a large number of carpenters are needed to cooperate. Next, your household registration office needs to compile detailed information on carpenters across the country and assist Sirke

Mr. Sa completes the recruitment of carpenters!" Allen ordered.

"Yes! Your Majesty the Duke!" Tony said loudly after hearing this.

Looking at Tony who exited, Allen secretly estimated that as long as he found enough carpenters and Sekesa, an experienced shipbuilder, the Red Dragon Principality could start trying to build sea-going ships right away.

Once sea-going ships can be manufactured in batches, it will definitely greatly promote the sea trade of the Red Dragon Principality. Moreover, with the ability to manufacture sea-going ships by itself, the Red Dragon Principality does not need to go to the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary to purchase sea-going ships.

In this regard, it was constrained by the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom.

But not long after, Allen suddenly frowned. He ignored a very important thing. If the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary discovered that the Red Dragon Principality had built ships, and they were very similar to the ships of the Kuroshio Kingdom, would there be any consequences?

After thinking about it, I immediately found out that Sirkesa was taken away by the Red Dragon Principality!

After all, the Red Dragon Principality was a newly established principality. Suddenly, it showed the ability to manufacture sea ships, and the sea ships it manufactured were still in the style of the Kuroshio Kingdom. Coupled with the disappearance of Serksa, the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom was very

It’s hard not to think about it this way.

After realizing that there was a problem, Allen's face couldn't help but become serious. If this matter was not handled well, it would most likely attract the hostility of the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary, which would be very detrimental to the future development of the Red Dragon Principality.

Allen rubbed his head in distress. At this time, the Red Dragon Principality should not be forced to compete with the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary. In terms of military, economy, territory, strength, influence, etc., the Red Dragon Principality was compared with the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary.

, are all more than one step behind.

He thought about it for a long time, until it gradually got dark. Allen hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

Sea-going ships still need to be built, but he plans to move the manufacturing site to Helan Island. Although this will be time-consuming and labor-intensive in terms of materials, it will greatly reduce the probability of being discovered when building sea-going ships.

At the same time, Allen also decided to postpone the commercial application of manufacturing sea ships and use them in military and ocean exploration first.

A naval school was established on Black Orchid Island, and a large number of sea-going ships were built, which can be used to train naval warriors.

In addition to training the navy, the manufactured sea-going ships can also be used for ocean exploration and development. Just like the Snake Dance Island, there are a large number of sea-going ships, and the transportation capacity has been greatly increased. A large number of people can be transported to the Shewu Island in a short time.

The Long Kingdom's development of Snake Dance Island will be greatly accelerated.

Allen remembered that there were four islands he had selected before. Until now, he had only explored Snake Dance Island, so there were still three islands waiting for the Red Dragon Principality.

In the past, when there were few ships, Allen could only choose to visit one island at a time. However, if the number of ships increases greatly, Allen can explore multiple islands at the same time.



The sun has completely sunk into the western edge of the sea, and the sky has darkened. The lingering purple moonlight has fallen into the broad waves, making the sea even more purple-black and gloomy.

At this time, on the deep sea surface an unknown number of miles away from Heilan Island, a huge black shadow was constantly swaying with the rolling waves.

If you look closely, you will see that it is a huge ship about thirty meters long. Against the purple moonlight, you can clearly see the three tall masts on the ship. One of them is broken, and the other two masts are hung.

There were a few sails full of holes, fluttering weakly in the sea breeze.

There seem to be patterns embroidered on these sails, but they are now unrecognizable due to too many damages.

There were faint lights flickering on the ship, and a covered oil lamp hung on each bow and stern. At this time, there were many figures standing on the deck of the ship.

Most of these people had their upper bodies exposed, and their bodies ranged from tall to short, thin to fat, but their skin was very dark. Under the oil lamp, it was not much whiter than the dark surface of the ship at their feet.
