Extraordinary Sailing

This early spring, which made all countries uneasy, has quietly passed.

The time has come to April unknowingly, and even the northern colonies of the kingdom have been dyed with thick greenery.

Port Raleigh, one of Phalatis' royal colonies in East Lunchi, is also the current capital of the colony.

In a very colonial cafe built with spruce wood, Ivan and a chubby middle-aged gentleman are enjoying a sumptuous afternoon tea together.

The high-quality coffee from the New World, the almond sponge cake with the local method of Faletis, and the creme brulee with pickled berries, seem simple enough to be luxurious enough for most colonial residents.

"Thank you, Director Necardo, for your support for the construction of Hartrafa Port. Without you and the East Lunchi Company, even if the port is handed over to me, I don't know how long it will take to make it operate normally. get up."

Ivan, who was wearing a white shirt, slim-fit military pants and boots, was holding his coffee cup in a leisurely posture, with his ruby ​​cane next to him, and there was a slight sound of gnawing biscuits in the shadow.

"It's just a small matter, and it's all for the great cause of the kingdom.

General, if you need anything, just ask, as long as it is within my scope of authority, I can give you priority. "

When Necardo faced Aiwen now, he no longer had the equal attitude he had when he first met him, and he had been faintly flattering him since he saw his power in Lengshuihe Bend.

Since then, he has been promoted to brigadier general in just half a year.

Then he was appointed by Lieutenant General Gustav as the deputy chief of Phalitis's garrison in the New World. At a young age, he became the top ten existence of Phalitis among the military chiefs in the entire New World.

The chief of the garrison is a major general and knight named Martin Christopher. The main body under his command is the army unit, which has been stationed in the colony for a long time. In fact, it mainly plays the role of the security police.

Although the actual combat effectiveness of this army is definitely not as good as that of the navy, it is impossible to bypass them no matter what they want to do in the New World.

And even if Aiwen is not going to intervene too much in the affairs of the garrison, but the position is there, he already has the power to deploy a small number of armed forces in the colonial cities without the governor's consent.

The influence cannot be underestimated.

At this time, even in terms of his status in the kingdom's bureaucratic system, Nekado, as the trade director of the East Lunzhi, already needs to look up to him.

"By the way, Mr. Director, you know that I need to recruit a group of 'special' seamen.

You have worked in the New World for a long time, and you know the situation here far better than I do. Do you have any good suggestions on this point? "

For Necardo, who is an insider, Ivan doesn't need to be scruples, and directly seeks the help of this old bureaucrat.

In fact, during this period of time, the situation in the New World did not mean to settle down at all.

Originally, because Cyrus occupied the best area with various resources and the most valuable output, among all the merchant ships traveling between the continents, their merchant ships were of course the most valuable.

Also a favorite target of pirates!

But now under the leadership of "Oathbreaker" Bradley, a large number of pirates have begun to rob merchant ships of other countries.

Even if there is a difference in value, part of the so-called proof of merit can be obtained from the Pirate King.

At the same time, he shared his smuggling channels, smuggling, extraordinary knowledge, and even some benefits and subsidies, and of course the promise of nation building in the future.

Bradley even drew a blueprint for them on the location of the founding of the country.

In the south of the New World, there is a vast land called Cabral, north of the Viceroyalty of La Plata on the east coast.

This area is mixed with fish and dragons, and it is also the place where the race is the most complicated. There are colonists from many Old Continent countries, escaped slaves, original Atrian natives, and a large number of mixed races.

Among them, the strongest force is the remnants of Kashna and Azik, who were once shattered by Sirius, and there are still a large number of indigenous wizards and totem warriors.

Although chaotic, the pirates headed by Bradley regard it as the most ideal place to build a country and build a free pirate country.

Obviously, the Pirate King was prepared to fail or fail, and followed Sirius all the way to the dark.

In this case, after several rounds of consultations, the countries have reached a common resolution.

Compared with Sirius, the military power of various countries is of course weak. Sending warships to directly confront others is a loss-making business that no one will do.

Therefore, they all adopted the model of organizing large-scale private plundering operations by the officials, acknowledging that it is legal for any individual to rob Sirius' merchant ships and will not be regarded as a pirate.

Of course, privateering existed before this, but it never rose to the level of systematization, normalization, and unified goals. This is the first time that all countries have the same hatred.

It is exactly the same as Ivan's "Blood Loss Project"!

Among them, if Phalitis's high-level executives were not behind the scenes to fuel the flames, he would not believe it if he was killed.

So, under this premise.

Aiwen can't lag behind others. Captains who accept the privateering licenses of various kingdoms may flock to them, but Aiwen, the semi-official privateer fleet belonging to Phalatis, will also start to take action and produce results.

The most important point is that I have never been a pirate before, and I am not familiar with the way.

Even if they already have a few high-end ships captured from Sirius, most pirates don't even dare to think of high-end ships, but they lack a large number of people who can start them.

The "Endeavour" has left the port of Hartrafa, and all the wounded who were permanently disabled in the battle, including the first mate Borg, have also been sent by Ivan to the warship returning to the homeland. At this time, only The next 209 crew members of the original "Stormhorn".

Not to mention the few warships that he has allocated to become the main force of the privateer fleet, even the "Storm Horn" itself lacks a lot of manpower.

Hearing Aiwen's words, as expected, Nekado, who has worked in the New World for many years, pondered for a moment:

"If it's just for Cyrus, I know a group of very suitable people.

Wonder if you've heard of Santo Dominque and the Arawaks? "

Hearing the familiar words, Ivan suddenly became interested, and put down the coffee cup in his hand:

"Saint Dominque Island? You mean the birthplace and base camp of the 'voodoo cult' in the New World?"

"That's right! But Santo Dominque is its current name, when the natives lived there it was called Hispaniola"

Originally, a tribe called Arawak among the Atrian natives lived on the island of Hispaniola.

This island ranks second in the Golden Sea, with an area of ​​27,000 square kilometers, and is rich in sugar cane, coffee, and rice.

But about ten years ago, in order to prevent the infiltration of the Sarks (wanting to reproduce an alliance similar to the Iroquois on this island), the Cyrus used the army to carry out a large-scale raid on these residents and block.

The natives of the Arawak tribe were driven to the sea by massacre and famine.

However, the Silius people who thought they had a plan did not expect that the Arawaks who had retreated to the sea gathered around the northern island of Tortuga and became pirates who would never die with Sirius.

Moreover, they are fearless and cruel. In order to avenge the massacre of Sirius at the beginning, most of the Sirius captured by them will be sentenced to death.

There is no hostility towards the pioneers of the Old World other than the Cyrus.

Because Tortuga Island is also in the northern part of the Golden Sea, the East Lunzhi Company has dealt with them before and helped them deal with the spoils, so it can be said that it can be said.

"It's just that their current living conditions are not very good. Tortuga Island is not enough to support too many people. Perhaps enough people can be recruited from them.

Ahem, it’s just because the ratio of male to female in the Arawak is about 7:3, male-to-male pairings are prevalent among them, and they even have formal marriage-like relationships.

Do you mind that? "

Aiwen thought about it, although there were some minor problems, it did not affect the looting. And in terms of his own "interest-driven" management method, race should not be a big problem.

So, Ivan nodded:

"I don't mind, I respect other people's customs and views on mate selection."

However, as soon as the words were finished, I looked up and saw Milan and a girl walking by talking and laughing outside the window.

The girl with long hair wears a delicate feather headband and wears a short leather armor, revealing a large area of ​​wheat-colored delicate skin on her body.

The whole person is like a beautiful and dangerous female leopard, which is completely different from the numb native slaves who are submissive in the current colony.

"Huh, that's it?"

at the same time.

The boundary between the outermost part of the heavily trafficked Golden Sea and the Black Sea, near Baptos Island.

"Hey! It's the 'Iron Bone' again, let them go on like this, how can we rob?!"

On a pirate ship with black sails, the first mate of the pirate wearing a red turban and gold teeth put down the brass binoculars in his hand, spit and cursed bitterly.

Not far from them, a merchant ship loaded with cargo and not shallow draft was slowly moving, which should have been a very suitable prey.

But what is very paradoxical is that there is actually a pirate ship with black sails escorting it beside it.

Through the very recognizable bow gun as the spine, the pirate first officer easily identified who was doing bad things to himself.

"Iron Bones" William, his counterpart from the Old Continent, who has risen for less than a year!

This is a typical "righteous thief".

Whether it is a legal merchant ship or a smuggling ship, this guy only charges a quarter of the total value of the goods, and will act as a guard and send them out of the country to prevent them from being robbed by other colleagues.

Because of its special geographical location, Baptos Island is a hunting ground for many pirate ships waiting for their prey. Now a troublemaker suddenly appeared, which of course made many people very unhappy.

However, due to the strength of the "iron-framed" William, after the initial trials, no one dared to single out the rules set by William!

But let's go on like this

"Captain, the Golden Sea is no better than the eastern shore of the Black Sea.

There are only two pirate kings here, and there are countless big pirates. Will we be beaten by these colleagues after a long time? "

The first mate, who was holding a beautiful briar pipe, exhaled a deep puff of white smoke, and said with some concern.

"That's right, Captain! How about we change places? Or go back to the east coast of the Black Sea!"

The burly young man with a bronzed upper body also echoed, after being rescued by the navy and escaping from the great pirate Bassam.

It has been almost a year since he came to the New World, and he can clearly feel the growing dissatisfaction of his colleagues here with people like himself.

Even if they docked at a pirate's private port, the crew members on the ship did not dare to say the name of the ship they were on, because they were afraid of being retaliated by their colleagues who had ruined a good thing.

The vicissitudes of the middle-aged man with blue stubble, with two iconic pirate scimitars on his waist, turned his head when he heard the words, and frowned:

"If you bastards can live up to it, do we still need to look at other people's faces? This is already the third place we have changed!

Back then, I almost sold myself to that vengeful navy boy because of you bastard captain, otherwise, would I still be shrunk in the New World and dare not go back? "

Never thought about it, the voice just fell.

Then a white seagull flying over their heads suddenly swooped down.

Fluttering——

Lightly landed on the mizzen yard.

Boom!

Spit out an ancient Gashna gold coin, and smashed it to Iron Bone William's feet.

With an expression of seeing a ghost, he slowly opened his mouth:

"Good day, Mr. William! I finally found you. You promised me to do three things for me. You shouldn't forget it, right?"
