Extraordinary Sailing

but.

To whom to transfer the contracts of this batch of slaves requires Aiwen to think carefully.

Even if it is limited to the Phalatis Kingdom, there are six royal colonies, two proprietor colonies, and three autonomous colonies, with a total of eleven colonies.

No matter which colony has been developed for less than a hundred years at most, there is a huge labor gap.

Although the 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 that can adapt to various environments, it has always been a tight commodity in the slave market.

If you make good use of it, you may be able to get other benefits for yourself besides the golden lion, even exceeding the value of their lifelong slavery!

As for absorbing some of the Anuma people into their own privateer fleet?

Well, Alvin never had that dangerous thought

Except for these slaves among the spoils.

In Ai Wen's eyes, the second most valuable harvest is not the [Cape Statue Lucky Gold Coin] that has been added to the "Venus", but the batch of two-masted mixed-sail slave ships!

Because with the growth of the pirate group's personnel, the four main warships in the privateer fleet are already full, and every extra day idle is a huge waste.

Just the cost of the fleet and not being able to create value for itself.

But with this batch of small sailing ships, at least the problem of the future main pirate ship in the privateering fleet will be solved.

On the surface, these ships are nothing compared to the cruisers and battleships in their hands.

But in fact, in the current maritime plundering activities, this faster small warship is the real main force!

Without the leadership of a superhuman-level captain, it would not be easy to capture a large merchant ship with the strength of a small fast ship alone, but it is entirely possible to use the wolf pack tactics at sea.

When the bald eagle was just established, the sea route was blocked by John Bull.

In order to break the situation and implement equal breaking engagements, only six heavy cruisers like the "Constitution" were launched in total.

The main force of the privateers was still the small privateer "Brigantine" two-masted mixed sailing ship (more advanced than the same two-masted Jackdaw).

This is the pinnacle of the sailed pirate ship design concept before the steam ironclad ship was launched. Like the heavy cruiser, it also originated from the special design of the Bald Eagle for John Bull.

Brigantine-type two-masted mixed sailing ship, usually with a displacement of 210 tons, equipped with one 24-pounder gun and six 6-pounder guns. Just like these slave ships, they were brigantines with square sails on the foremast and schooners on the mainmast.

Its main feature is the use of a streamlined V-shaped cross-section hull with a deep draft at the stern, which improves longitudinal stability and speed.

Moreover, sailing is easier than ordinary square sailing ships, and the professionalism and number of sailors required are greatly reduced.

These ship design features represented the most advanced ship design ideas at that time, making the Brigantine one of the best fast sailing ships of Blue Star in the 19th century.

And I can use the "activated aura" to pinch the boat again on the basis of the existing ordinary two-masted sailing boat!

It's just a small ship of two to three hundred tons, and I didn't expect them to last long. Even if the ship's structural strength may be damaged after pinching the ship, it is completely acceptable.

"However, it is best to need a group of professional craftsmen to cooperate with me, otherwise it will be too difficult to deal with eight slave ships and one fifth-level ship."

Thinking of this, Aiwen rubbed his chin, already thinking of the next home for the Anuma slave in his hand.

Far sail collar.

Tread Tread

A tall young man wearing a neat general uniform and a cloak with a gold-plated command knife hanging from his waist, was led by the butler of the Aimer family into the majestic family castle.

"Your Excellency, please come in."

The Yuanfan Marquis family still retains their tradition of great nobility.

After initially completing the colony development that year, he rebuilt his own military castle on this foundational land, and it was located in Yuanfan City.

In other words, Yuanfan City was originally built on the basis of this castle.

The main body is a towering five-story fortress-style building built with large blocks of granite.

It has the urn city and tall towers as military facilities, and of course there are also stables, small caves for Tibetan soldiers, and martial arts arenas, etc. Everything that a castle should have.

The Egret River, a river that runs across the city, "just happened" to flow in front of the castle gate, adding another layer of defense to it.

Although it seems that it does not match the style of the prosperous Yuanfan City, it is very necessary in the crisis-ridden New World.

If not limited by financial resources, the early pioneers would like to build every city like this to resist the ubiquitous dangers here.

Normally speaking, a castle that exists as a military fortress is inevitably disappointing in terms of living comfort.

However, this Orange Leaf Castle belonging to the Elmore family is obviously an exception!

Walking in it, Aiwen didn't feel the dampness and darkness in the large military castle building at all, and felt comfortable as if stepping on the breath of spring with every step.

Compared with the subtropical weather outside the castle, the temperature and humidity are like being in two worlds.

And when he completely entered the main building of Orange Leaf Castle, this feeling became even stronger, and even made him, a wizard with keen senses, a little frightened.

This feeling comes from the rune spells that are spread throughout every corner of the castle!

When he realized this, with Aiwen's weather-beaten heart, he couldn't help but stagnate, feeling that he had not entered the castle of a great nobleman, but a wizard tower full of murderous intentions.

‘The House of Marquis Yuanfan must enshrine a powerful wizard! '

The housekeeper of Marquis Yuanfan's house next to him didn't seem to notice Ai Wen's strangeness at all, and continued to guide him ahead.

"Your Excellency, the Marquis is waiting for you in the living room!"

"Uh ok."

If you are a penniless little wizard, you will of course turn around and run away when you come to this kind of place where people use knives and me as fish.

But now his status in the kingdom is not small compared with His Excellency the Marquis, but when he is on the other side's territory, he should be the one who should worry about his safety the most.

So, after a moment of hesitation, Ai Wen walked in calmly.

Although the decoration is not too luxurious, it is very artistic and historical in the hall.

In the reception room belonging to the marquis on the top floor of the castle, he met one of the most powerful figures in the entire kingdom and colony, the Grand Knight of the Far Sail Commander Duke Aymore, the Marquis.

"Good day, Your Excellency the Governor!"

"Welcome to Yuanfanling, General Aiwen, please sit down."

Standing by the window looking at the dock area, the Marquis, who was delivering slaves in the name of the East Lunzhi Company, turned his head and smiled and invited Ivan to sit on the sofa opposite him.

As a great knight with an average life expectancy of 150 years, the Marquis looked very young, wearing simple noble clothes, and he didn't have any pretensions when facing Aiwen, a young man who was about the same age as his daughter.

He even poured him a cup of black tea from the housekeeper himself. Amidst Aiwen's flattered thanks, he said with a smile:

"Your Excellency has done several important things in the 'Golden Sea' during this period. Inspired by your deeds, a large number of young people have joined the ranks of privateers.

I heard that even if an armed merchant ship without a private plunder license robs Sirius' goods at sea, as long as they are willing to pay taxes to the maritime court, they will be declared legal without exception.

A trend has been set off in the entire New World, and those domineering Cyrus people will have a headache in the future. Hehehe"

As the kingdom's bridgehead deep into the Golden Sea, the Marquis was in charge of Yuanfan collar, the closest to the Cyrus people, and of course he was also a lot of angered by those who inevitably had to deal with.

It may also be because of Aiwen's identity that he has been regarded as a person of the same level by the Marquis.

Although they had only passed letters twice before, and this was the first time they met, they were not at all as majestic and dignified as they belonged to the great nobles and colonial governors in front of outsiders.

At this time, there was even a slight schadenfreude, which added a bit of intimacy.

"Your Excellency the Marquis praised it, but it is only because the concept of Cyrus people's supremacy has not changed in a short period of time.

It is also impossible for them to sit back and watch this situation continue to develop without doing anything. The strength of the overlord is still not enough to be underestimated. We still have to be careful to beware of Sirius' backhands.

Maybe it won't take long, and when they react, the three main players, Tulip, Sack, and Atlanta, will definitely bear the brunt. "

"oh?"

The Marquis' expression was a little strange. Standing in this position, he certainly knew a lot more about Ivan, who had risen to fame, than outsiders. He even had a copy of the "Overlord's Disqualification Plan".

At this time, he did not expect that such a young man who had done a lot of great things and should be complacent, would still maintain such a clear mind.

It is obviously not a fluke to be able to go from a descendant of a declining nobleman to the present.

"However, because of your series of actions, the business of our shipyard has improved a lot.

Even if there is no such group of slaves, there is no problem at all in needing excellent craftsmen to assist in transforming privateers as mentioned in the previous letter. If there are not enough docks, we can provide them.

To be honest, most of the orders we have received during this period are small privateers. Our craftsmen have rich experience in what you want to change into. "

In the eleven colonies of Phalatis, the shipbuilding and shipping industries of COSCO Sail and Fortmont are the most developed, and in the colony occupied by Phalatis, that is, the eastern part of the New World, white oak that is very suitable for shipbuilding happens to be widely distributed.

Although it is not as good as the special iron oak in Treasure Tree Bay of the Southern Continent, it can be used to build second-tier and first-tier battleships, and there are even extraordinary materials that can be used to build legendary battleships.

But it is no problem at all to build cruisers or even low-level battleships.

On this point, the Marquis was also very generous, and he didn't even mention the cost of the extra ship materials.

"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 and strong" to join the privateering business, the advancement of privateering tools will inevitably increase the success rate of robbery and the efficiency of the "Blood Loss Project".

Based on the "Overlord Disqualification Plan" on paper alone, he has already obtained the rank of brigadier general and a large number of resources that he can mobilize.

If the plan is rapidly advanced under the leadership of oneself, the follow-up benefits will inevitably flow endlessly.

It is not extravagant to hope that the two nobles of Aimer and Pyne will seal their territories in the New World, but it should be no problem at all to restore the situation of the Garriott family in its heyday.

Even if Anita and herself have made great strides on the path of extraordinaryness, there should be no new members born in a short time, but only when they have their own foundation can they no longer be floating duckweeds.

Blackstone Town, Leopold, Shipwreck Harbor, 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 implementation of the plan, every achievement of the kingdom has its own contribution, and there is no need to completely care about the temporary gains and losses.

Every penny invested today will be rewarded hundreds of times and thousands of times in the future, as long as you are strong enough!

So, putting down the ceramic teacup in his hand, he said to the Marquis, "Are you interested in a faster and stronger new privateer?"

The Marquis, whose fundamental economic pillar is the shipbuilding industry, immediately became interested:

"Oh? You mean the Garriott-type cruiser that the Kingdom has started secretly building?"

Alvin smiled slightly:

"Unfortunately not. But in the privateering business involving the whole people, maybe its significance will be even higher!"
