Rawls saw some scrawled writing on the paper and shook his head. After three days of sailing, the armored fleet of the USS Pulitzer had resisted the Port of Damier. It repaired at the port for six hours, replenished water and food and set off again.
.
According to the pre-planned plan, this fleet will move along the route of Damir Port - Tiana Port - Bayam. Although it will pass through Tiana Port in the middle, the purpose this time is to conduct long-distance training.
Therefore, it will not stop at Tiana Port, but will continue to travel nearly 5,000 nautical miles before resisting Bayam.
This can not only achieve the purpose of long-distance training, but also allow the fleet to maintain its due combat capabilities during the journey and prevent pirates from taking advantage of it.
But since the fleet sailed out of Damir Port, it has encountered four pirates along the way. As the ace of the Loen Navy, the Pritzker Armored Fleet will naturally not choose to give up this good training opportunity.
The only pity is that Rawls could not go up to the deck to watch the spectacular scene of shelling the pirates.
However, according to the captain of the Glorious, Colonel Delin Harker, the Pritzker did not take the initiative to attack during these shellings. Instead, the two battleships, the Glorious and the Ravage, were attacked and sank one ship.
There were two pirate ships with a total bounty of more than 2,000 pounds, two were severely damaged, and one escaped.
In these four naval battles, Rawls could sense that the extraordinary ones on the warships did not take action, but simply carried out shelling. After all, for these pirates who did not reach the level of pirate generals, ghost ships were extremely rare, and they
Their own abilities and courage are not enough for them to engage in a boarding battle.
This is not a merchant fleet, but a combined fleet of ten ships from the Kingdom of Loen with an average displacement of more than 7,000 tons, including an armored fleet. Even the pirate generals will avoid it, and the four pirate kings will consider themselves.
Choose to give up.
"Boom~boom~boom"
There were a few more sporadic shellings, and Rawls knew that this naval battle was over. He looked at his records on the paper again, sorted them out, got up and came to the bed, moved the pillow away to reveal a gray puff.
He grabbed the money bag, took a deep breath, quickly opened the money bag and threw a few pieces of paper in.
His face instantly turned pale, and his body staggered and almost fell on the bed. Rolls kept moving his left hand down on his chest to suppress the feeling of vomiting.
If he wasn't worried that taking out the collar button alone might be discovered by Delin Harker, the "judge", or the demigod on the Pulitzer, he wouldn't have to feel so uncomfortable every time.
.
However, Rawls, who had been on the Glorious for six days, no longer had to pretend to be seasick. He had to stay in this room and could not go out.
Putting the pillow back, Rawls sat back at the small table and began to summarize the contents on the paper. On the day he boarded the ship, he conducted this week's Tarot session. Last week, he entrusted it to Alger "The Hanged Man"
·Wilson's mission was to collect relevant intelligence, but Alger was preparing to participate in the pirate conference, and only half of the relevant information was collected.
Rawls, who was on the ship, couldn't carry out the gifting ceremony, so he had to ask Alger to dictate part of it first. The rest and the information he had not collected could not be continued until he arrived in Bayam, and the part he dictated was exactly what he was dictating.
It is related content about Bayam.
What Rawls dictated from Algiers and some of what Philip told him complemented what he already knew, and he probably had a certain understanding of Byam:
"City of Generosity" Bayam is the capital of the Rhosid Islands and the fulcrum of the Loen Kingdom's colonial rule in the Zhongsonia Sea. It is one of the largest cities in this region and has many powerful official Beyonders.
Officially, there are three forces, the Church of Storms, the Navy and the local governors, and of course there are also official forces such as the Parliament and the Court, which have almost no extraordinary people.
The leader of the Church of Storms here is the Cardinal, the Archbishop of the Rossed Sea, and the Senior Deacon of the Punisher - "Sea King" Yan Cotman; the Navy is the Supreme Commander of the Navy in the Central Sonia Sea Region - Admiral Amiri
S. Levitt; the local governor is a member of the Negan family - George Negan.
These three parties constitute the official Extraordinary force in the Rhoside Sea area. The former two are responsible for combating pirates and local resistance forces near the Rhoside Islands. The latter mainly maintains the prosperity and prosperity of the Rhoside Islands. The underground forces are more or less connected to the Governor's Mansion.
Among the underground forces, "Gold Coin Casino", "Red Theater", "Swordfish Bar" and "Fragrant Leaf Bar" are all places where extraordinary people are more active. Among them, the owner of "Gold Coin Casino" has the closest connection with the Governor's Mansion, and most of them
Most pirates know this and it is their first choice to get rid of their stolen goods and buy what they need.
Needless to say, the "Red Theater" is every man's paradise. Countless pirates come here because of its reputation. Even if one or two of their peers are arrested there every once in a while, it does not prevent them from continuing. Similarly, extraordinary materials and
Underground transactions related to occultism are also quite frequent here, and there are many circles.
Unlike Backlund, in the Church of the Seven Gods of the Sea, mainly the Church of Storms, they tend to turn a blind eye to extraordinary people. As long as they are not on the bounty list, they will basically not take the initiative to attack wild illegals. After all,
These people can also take care of places that the church and the military cannot.
While the "Swordfish Bar" is recognized as a gathering place for adventurers, the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" is more active with pirates, informants and some adventurers. Not only are missions issued there, but guns and ammunition can be purchased, as well as all kinds of intelligence.
There will be gatherings of extraordinary people, but there is a possibility of being hacked.
Rawls did not plan to leave the Glorious Ship when he arrived at Oravi, but chose to disembark at Bayam. In addition to Roy King, Darkwill's teacher, who would be waiting for him at Bayam, he also had another
One level of consideration.
Compared to the Rhoad Islands, Olavi is not very big. Auston Leavitt is the local governor, and the Leavitt family acquired a large number of properties and manors during his tenure. Once you enter Olavi, it is equivalent to entering the other side.
Lair.
Rawls might as well use the identity arranged by Philip to sell arms in Bayam, look for merchants or pirates with Fusac background, and follow the lead to Oravi. With Roy King, the "destiny" path
With the help of extraordinary people, he believed that his luck would not be too bad.
As for the source of the arms, he guessed that it had a lot to do with Governor George Negan of Byam. Philip had not inherited the family yet, so the only thing he could use was the family's power. Behind the smuggling team on the frigate should be Negan.
Root family.
Therefore, if Rawls wants to sell arms in Bayam, he has few targets to choose from. The "Gold Coin Casino", which is closely related to the Governor's Palace, is naturally not suitable. A place like the "Red Theater" is not suitable, so he can only
It's places like "Swordfish Bar" and "Fragrance Leaf Bar". There must be buyers with Fusac background among those pirates.
If you don't have it or can't find it, you can only risk going to the "Gold Coin Casino".
…
"Dong dong dong"
"Enter."
Delin Harker, wearing a dark blue navy uniform and carrying a colonel's epaulettes on his shoulders, opened the door and came in with a serious look on his face, without any joy of victory.
Rawls knew why when he saw the expression on his face. This must have been the third time. The pirate ship that had just been bombarded must have been severely damaged. If he pursued it for a while, he could sink it and obtain the above
property.
For the navy of this era, piracy not only means credit, but also wealth. But for a fleet like the USS Pritzker, which is performing a mission, it must obey the orders of the flagship, the USS Pritzker.
No pursuit is allowed.
This made the commanders and soldiers of the "Glorious" and another battleship "Ravage" very dissatisfied. They consumed ammunition and suffered damage, but only gained the wealth of a pirate ship.
"Has Rear Admiral Wilson ordered the pursuit to stop again?" After a few days, Rawls also had a certain understanding of the captain of the USS Pulitzer.
Delin Harker's face turned gloomy again. He believed that as the commander of a fleet, Major General Wilson's command and style did not satisfy and obey him. Although he had the mission of voyage training, he must also consider
There is a morale problem. After five artillery battles in three days, but only some property was obtained, this will have a great impact on the soldiers on the "Glorious".
As the commander, Rear Admiral Wilson should at least let the three battleships in the rear come up and let the "Glory" and "Ravage", which have been serving as the "vanguard", rest for a while. Otherwise, the soldiers have not arrived at Bayam yet.
The energy dissipated.
"Our major general may have his own ideas!" Colonel Delin did not want to mention this matter anymore and began to change the subject, "Looking at your face, you have adapted to life at sea."
"If I still can't adapt to six days of life on board, plus these five gun battles, I will apply to Philip to return to Backlund."
Rawls saw Delin Harker's nostrils dilated a bit, and knew that his words had irritated him, so he stopped continuing. Appropriateness is the best.
"Backlund, the last time I went back was already half a year ago."
"Half a year ago?" Rawls was a little surprised, "Plitz Harbor is not very far from Backlund."
Delin Harker took a deep breath, his tone was not very good:
"The 'Glory' and the 'Ravage' were both temporarily incorporated into this fleet. We received the order on the way back to Backlund from Conant, and we only stayed for three days after resisting Pulitzer Harbor before we started this
It’s a mission.”
No wonder you are so dissatisfied with Major General Wilson. You were temporarily recruited and assigned as a vanguard officer. If it were a war, you would be cannon fodder...
"How could it be temporary recruitment? Shouldn't it be that for an ironclad ship like the Pritzker, certain warships have already been arranged for recruitment?" Rawls stood up from behind the table, his body shaking a little while holding on to the table.
"Perhaps those generals have their own ideas." Delin Haq crossed his arms across his chest and looked at the swaying Rawls with a smile. "When you arrive in Bayam, you will probably be able to follow the ships.
Shake and adjust your posture."
Just like Wilson did, is this adjustment to attack the Negan family? If it weren't for the purpose of not being suspected by you, I could do it now... Rawls looked at Delin Harker and shook his head, showing a wry smile.
:
"I'm afraid it's not possible yet. Maybe we can do it when we return."
"Then I'm afraid I won't be able to see it. The return journey is from Tuscat Island to the port of Tiana. There will be no stops in the middle and only one sea supply."
"This is really long-distance training!"
The sailing distance from Tuscat Island to Tiana Port is close to eight thousand nautical miles. Although there are sea supplies in the middle, it can almost consume a huge amount of strength for the soldiers on this fleet... If a certain sea king is raising
If we ambush this fleet outside the Port of Anna, the possibility of defeating them is very high!
Facing Rawls, Delin Harker did not seem to have any intention of keeping secrets. In his opinion, someone who could help Philip, the heir to the Negan family, to deal with some matters must be a close confidant of the Negan family. And this information,
There is no need for him, the captain, to reveal it, and it will all be sent to the Negan family.
After all, Duke Negan is still an admiral, but he no longer takes the initiative to intervene in the internal struggles of the Navy. However, this does not mean that the influence of the Negan family in the Navy has declined. As the most influential family in the Navy after the royal family, almost every branch of the Navy has influence.
Both the fleet and the port have the shadow of the Negan family.
As Philip's classmate and good friend, Colonel Delin has always tried to maintain a good relationship with him. According to his previous expectations, Philip will become an admiral like his father Paras Negan. That Delin Harker at least
He will also become a general.
But Philip was suddenly transferred back to Backlund and served as the Chief of Hillstown Police, which shattered Delin Hacker's dream of being a general. Even this time, he was temporarily incorporated into the royal faction under the command of Major General Wilson. There may not be any internal struggles.
Shadow. That’s why he agreed to help Phillip.
"But won't this cause trouble? Philip told me that the pirates seem to be holding a party recently, and the pirate generals and even the pirate king will attend."
As the owner of the "Black Emperor" and an intelligence officer of "King of the Five Seas" Nast, Rawls naturally wanted to find out some information. After all, he also wanted to use the power of the "Black Emperor" in Bayam. Moreover, he
Remember that the Pritz fleet seems to be in conflict with Nast in the future.
Colonel Delin was a little surprised, but thinking that Rawls was sent out by Philip at this time, he would naturally be informed of certain information.
"Those pirates don't dare to plunder near the port, and they don't know that we are conducting long-distance training this time. Information spreads very slowly on the sea. By the time they react, we will have already entered the port."
His words are indeed correct. Even though Rawls now knows that this fleet will consume a lot of power before arriving at Tiana Port, he does not know the specific time. At sea, even warships cannot resist the huge force.
Wind and waves, damage or even sinking are possible.
"Dong dong dong"
Rawls and Delin Hack both looked out the door. The latter came to the door in a few steps, opened the door and whispered a few words to the captain at the door, then turned to look at Rawls and said:
