But.
To whom the contract of this batch of slaves should be transferred, but I need to think carefully about it.
Even if it is only limited to the Kingdom of Falitis, there are six royal colonies, two owner colonies, three autonomous colonies, and a total of eleven colonies.
No matter which colony has been developed for less than a century, there is a huge labor shortage.
Although Anuma slaves have a lazy nature in their bones, the slave owners have already learned how to manage them.
With a strong physique and tenacious vitality to adapt to various environments, it has always been a hot commodity in the slave market.
If you make good use of it, you may be able to exchange other benefits for yourself besides the golden lion, even exceeding their value as a lifelong slave!
As for the absorption of part of the Anuma people into your private fleet?
唔, Irvine has never had that dangerous idea...
Except these slaves in the spoils.
The second most valuable thing in Aiwen’s eyes is not the [Head Image·Lucky Gold Coin] that has been installed on the Venus, but the batch of brig mixed sailing slave ships!
Because the four main battleships in the privateer fleet have been full as the pirate crew grows, every additional day of idle personnel is a huge waste.
is just the cost of the fleet and cannot create value for itself.
But with this batch of small sailboats, at least the problem of the future main pirate ship in the private fleet has been solved.
On the surface, these ships are nothing compared to the cruise ships and battleships in their hands.
But actually in the current maritime plundering activities, this kind of faster small warship is the real main force!
Without the leadership of an extraordinary-level captain, it is indeed not easy to capture a large merchant ship with the power of a small fast ship, but sea wolf pack tactics can be used.
When the bald eagle had just established the country, it was blocked by John Bull.
In order to break the situation, the reciprocal battle was carried out. At first, only six heavy cruisers like the "Constitution" were launched.
is the main privateer, or the small privateer "Brigentin" brig mixed sailing vessel (more advanced than the Jackdaw, which is also a brig).
This is the pinnacle representative of the design concept of the sail pirate ship before the launch of the steam ironclad ship. Like the heavy cruiser, it is also derived from the bald eagle's special design for John Bull.
Brigentin-type brig mixed sailboat, usually displacement 210 tons, equipped with a 24-pounder and six 6-pounder. It happens to be a brig just like these slave ships, with horizontal sails on the front mast and schooner sails on the mainmast.
Its main feature is the use of a streamlined V-shaped cross-section hull with a deep draft at the tail, which improves longitudinal stability and speed.
Moreover, sailing is easier than ordinary horizontal sailing boats, and the professionalism and number of sailors required are greatly reduced.
These ship design features represented the most advanced ship design ideas at the time, making the Brigentin sailboat one of the best fast sailing ships of the Blue Star in the 19th century.
And I can completely re-squeeze the boat on the basis of the existing ordinary brig, using the "activated aura"!
is just a small ship of two to three hundred tons. I didn't expect them to last long. Even if the ship's structural strength might be broken after pinching, it is completely acceptable.
"However, it is better to need a group of professional craftsmen to cooperate with me, otherwise it would be too difficult to deal with eight slave ships and one Tier 5 ship."
Thinking of this, Ivan rubbed his chin and thought of the next home for the Anuma slave in his hand.
...
Far sail collar.
step on.. step on.. step on..
A tall young man in a straight general uniform and a gilt-gold commanding knife hanging from the waist, walked into the towering family castle under the personal guidance of the housekeeper of the Emore family.
"Your Excellency General, please come in."
The Marquis of Yuanfan family still retains the tradition of its own great aristocracy.
After completing the initial colonial development that year, he rebuilt his own military castle on this ground, and it is located in Yuanfan City.
or Yuanfan City was originally built on the basis of this castle.
The main body of is a towering five-story fortress built with large blocks of granite.
It has the Wengcheng as a military facility and tall towers. Of course, there is also everything that a castle should have, such as stables, small Tibetan soldiers' caves, and exercise grounds.
The Egret River, a river that traverses the entire city, "coincidentally" flows through the front of the castle, adding another defensive force to it.
Although it looks a little different from the prosperous Yuanfan City, it is very necessary in the crisis-ridden New World.
If it were not limited by financial resources, the early pioneers would be eager to build every city like this to resist the ubiquitous dangers here.
Normally speaking, the castle that exists as a military fortress is disappointing in terms of living comfort.
However, this orange leaf castle belonging to the Emore family is obviously an exception!
Aiwen walked in it, and did not feel the dampness and darkness in the large military castle building. The body feels comfortable, as if every step is stepping on the breath of spring.
Compared with the subtropical weather outside the castle, the temperature and humidity are like two worlds.
And when he completely entered the main building of Orange Leaf Castle, this feeling was even more intense, and even his sensitive wizard was a little frightened.
This kind of feeling comes from the rune style that spreads all over the entire castle!
When I noticed this, with Irvine's time-tested temperament, he couldn't help but stagnate, feeling that he was not entering the castle of a great nobleman, but a wizard tower that killed secret cloth.
‘The house of the Marquis of Yuanfan must enshrine a powerful wizard! ’
The housekeeper of the Marquis Yuanfan's house next to him, as if he hadn't noticed Irvine at all, continued to lead him in the front.
"Your Excellency, the Marquis is waiting for you in the hall!"
"Uh... OK."
If you are a little wizard who is not well-known, when you get to such a place where people use a knife to make me a fish, of course you just turn your head and run away.
But now, although his status in the kingdom is not small compared to that of the Marquis, he is the one who should worry about his safety the most when he comes to the other side's territory.
So, after a moment of hesitation, Ivan has walked in calmly.
Through the lobby, although not too luxuriously decorated, it is very artistic and historical.
In the reception room belonging to the Marquis on the top of the castle, I saw one of the most powerful figures in the entire kingdom colony, the Great Knight Duke Emore, the Governor of Far Sail.
"Your Excellency, good day!"
"Welcome to Yuanfanling, General Irwin, please sit down."
Standing by the window and looking at the dock area, the Marquis, who was carrying out slave delivery under the name of the East Lundz Company, turned his head and smiled and invited Ivan to sit on the sofa opposite him.
As a great knight with an average life span of 150 years, the Marquis looks very young, wearing a simple aristocratic costume, and facing Irving, a young man who is about the same age as his daughter, he has no pretensions.
even poured him a cup of black tea from the housekeeper, and said with a smile while Ivan was flattered to thank you:
" During this time, your Excellency has done several important things in the'Golden Sea'. Encouraged by your deeds, a large number of young people have joined the ranks of privateers.
I heard that even if an armed merchant ship with no permission to privately looted Hilius' cargo at sea, as long as it is willing to pay taxes to the maritime court, it will be sentenced to law without exception.
A wave has been set off in the entire New World, and those overbearing Hilius will have headaches in the future. Ha ha ha..."
Managed as the bridgehead for the kingdom to go deep into the Golden Sea, and the Far Sailing Neck, who was the closest to the Hilius, of course, the Marquis was also angry with those who inevitably had to deal with.
It may also be because of the identity of Aiwen that the Marquis has been regarded as a figure of the same level.
Although I only passed two letters before, it is the first time I have met, but there is no majesty that belongs to the great nobles and colonial governors in front of outsiders.
At this time, even a hint of schadenfreude was revealed, which also added a sense of closeness.
"Your Excellency Marquis was absurdly praised, but it was only because the Hilius did not change their ideas in a short time.
It is also impossible for them to sit back and watch this situation continue to develop and remain indifferent. The strength of the overlord is still not enough to underestimate it. We still have to be careful to guard against Hilius' back players.
It may not take long. When they react, the three main forces of Tulip, Sack, and Atlan will inevitably bear the brunt. "
"Oh?"
The Marquis's expression is a bit strange. Standing in this position, he certainly knows the famous Irwin better than outsiders, and he even has a copy of "Overlord Disqualification Plan" here.
At this time, he did not think that such a young man who should have done so many important things, who should have been so complacent, still kept such a clear head.
It is obviously not a fluke to be able to walk from a declining noble child to the present.
"However, because of your series of actions, the shipyard business has improved a lot.
Even without this batch of slaves, the need for excellent craftsmen to help transform the privateer as mentioned in the previous letter is not a problem at all. If the dock is not enough, we can provide it.
To be honest, most of the orders we received during this period were small privateers. We still have a lot of experience in craftsmen for what you want to change. "
In the eleven colonies of Falettis, COSCO Sailing and Fordmont shipbuilding and shipping are the most developed, and in the colony occupied by Falettis, which is the eastern part of the New World, white oak that is very suitable for shipbuilding is widely distributed.
Although it is not as good as the iron oak, which is a specialty of Baoshu Bay in the Southern Continent, can be used to build second and first battleships, and there are even extraordinary materials to build legendary battleships.
But there is no problem in building cruise ships or even low-level battleships.
At this point, the Marquis was also very generous, and did not even mention the cost of the extra boat material.
"Is that so?"
Hearing the Marquis introduce the current status of the colonial shipbuilding industry, Ivan suddenly had an idea.
Just like the previous call for a large number of "aspiring young people" to join the privateer business, the advancement of privateer tools will inevitably increase the success rate of the raid and the efficiency of the "blood loss plan".
Only by the "Overlord Disqualification Plan" on paper, he has already obtained the brigadier general warship and a large number of resources that he can mobilize.
If the plan is to advance rapidly under its own leadership, UU reading www. uukahnshu. The follow-up benefits of com will inevitably be endless.
I don’t expect to be confined to the New World like the two nobles of Emore and Pine, but it should be no problem to restore to the heyday of the Galliot family.
Even if Anita and herself are already striding forward on the path of transcendence, there should be no new members born within a short time, but only if they have their own foundation can they no longer be a drifting duckweed.
Blackrock Town, Leopold, Shipwreck Port, although these places are of great significance to my siblings, they are not "home" after all...
A privateer design is nothing compared to it.
During the execution of the plan, every point of the Kingdom’s achievements has its own contribution, and there is no need to worry about temporary gains and losses.
For every cent invested today, there will be a hundredfold and thousandfold return in the future, as long as... you are strong enough!
So, putting in his ceramic teacup, he said to the Marquis: "Are you interested in a new, faster and stronger privateer?"
The Marquis, who takes the shipbuilding industry as the fundamental economic pillar, immediately became interested:
"Oh? Are you saying that the kingdom has begun secretly building the Garriott cruiser?"
Aiwen smiled slightly:
"Unfortunately, it is not. But in the privateing of the whole people, it may be more meaningful."
