Extraordinary Sailing

It's in the Third Fleet Naval Base not far from Aiwen and Gary's residence.

Fleet Command.

This is a solemn Gothic marble building. The main tone is pure white that is very suitable for the navy. A tall spire piercing the sky.

In the main conference hall, a debate related to Ivan's immediate interests and even the future has been going on for a long time.

"Although the Kingdom has promised that the 'Navy Nova' will be promoted exceptionally, there is a limit to this kind of promotion. It is better for young people to experience more, and it may ruin a good seedling if it is overthrown!"

"That's right, the sixteen-year-old naval captain is enough to show that the kingdom attaches great importance to this outstanding young man.

If you are directly promoted to the captain of a battleship within three months of serving as captain, not only is there no precedent for the navy, but colleagues from other countries in the alliance will laugh at us Phalatis for having no talents at all! "

Headed by a silver-haired old man wearing a general's uniform, several high-ranking naval officers belonging to the staff room were discussing. All the words are from Aiwen's point of view, and every word and every word is for his sake, for fear that excessive rewards will "affect" the growth of this young officer.

In fact, everyone knows that Aiwen's qualifications as a "Navy Nova" are indisputable, and it is not something that a few senior executives of their third fleet can dictate.

but.

The ownership of the captured battleship "Storm Horn" is the focus of controversy!

Although the national power of Phalatis has been booming in recent years, both economic strength and naval strength have made great progress compared with previous years, but there is still a big gap with the old sea power like Cyrus.

Reflected in naval equipment, the overall displacement of Phalitis naval warships is smaller and the number of artillery is smaller. In particular, the first-class battleships with strong firepower that can establish a victory are pitifully few compared with Sirius, and can only be supplemented with more low-level battleships that are cheaper to build and have weaker firepower.

A very simple example, if the navy is really living a prosperous life and has a sufficient number of battleships, it would not be possible to "exile" the peak knight Geer.

Therefore, in the navies of Phalitis and most of the ocean kingdoms, Tier 4 battleships are enough to enter the "main battle line" of the backbone of the fleet, and become the cog that can determine the final fate of the country in large-scale fleet operations!

Because at least in this era, if the main battle line does not come out, it will be the ultimate gamble that will determine the fate of the country and the maritime hegemony in the next tens or hundreds of years!

Although, even in the entire history of navigation, this kind of battle of national fortune is rare, but the number of warships itself is already the greatest deterrent!

Judging from the cost of a battleship, it can be seen how rare it is.

Take the most cost-effective in a navy, the perfect combination of firepower, speed and cost, and a third-tier battleship equipped with seventy-four artillery pieces as an example. Just for wood, more than 2,000 high-quality oak trees planted a hundred years ago need to be harvested, and it took six years to build.

And these oaks must be high-quality wood specially planted in private manors, riversides, and sidewalks. The spacing should not be too close, and each tree must be free to receive light, heat, rain, and dew, so that it will not just blindly elevate like trees in the mountains and compete for sunlight with brothers and sisters.

Only such an oak tree that has grown calmly for a hundred years and reached a height of more than 20 meters can produce a piece of wood in the trunk that can be used to build the ribs of a battleship.

It is entirely conceivable how much thick wood is needed to build such a battleship fleet, what a long growth cycle is required, and what a staggering purchase price is required!

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the result of a large sea army battle is enough to affect the fate of the country! If the family property is lost, even if they have money, they cannot be replenished quickly!

Of course, if you want to use inferior pine and cypress wood like a cheap merchant ship to build a so-called warship that is not much stronger than a cardboard shell, then just ignore it.

What is commensurate with the worth is naturally the status.

Regardless of the previous military rank, becoming a battleship captain marks a step into the ranks of middle-level officers, meeting the prerequisites for further promotion in the navy, and the treatment and status are completely different.

This is a real benefit!

"One yard for one yard, even if it captured a pirate battleship. But our Major Ivan also lost the excellent battleship "Conch" belonging to the Third Fleet after all.

What's more, the military law stipulates that everything seized in wartime except the part assigned to the crew is actually the public property belonging to the fleet and the kingdom.

It should be reassigned by the Fleet Command. I think he should be placed in the hands of more suitable people to play a greater role! "

At this time, it seems that the atmosphere has almost been enhanced. The silver-haired old man stood up and acted as if he was dedicated to the public, Dayi Lingran concluded. At the same time, he also faintly revealed his own little abacus.

Pooh! The appearance of eating is so ugly that you don't even want your face!

The lowest tier-6 ship in the sequence of a tier-6 battleship can be called an excellent warship by you, so the fuck is just an offshore cruiser! Is it comparable to a battleship?

If someone can go out with a Tier 6 ship and switch back to a battleship, we will collectively recommend him to be the commander of the fleet! Give him all the "fine" warships in the fleet!

Most of the high-level fleet executives around the conference table, representing the interests of all parties, watched his performance blankly, but cursed secretly in their hearts.

However, the benefits of mixing officialdom are here.

Even if your fists are harder and your strength is stronger, but there are layers of system to suppress you, even if you are not convinced, you will not be able to use force to solve the problem, and you will not be able to solve the problem.

Seeing that all the high-level officials didn't speak, they all looked at him with inexplicable eyes. The silver-haired old man who had already entered the battle with his shirt off coughed lightly and continued:

"Of course, Major Aiwen is a rare naval talent after all, he has made a lot of achievements and won honors for the kingdom and the fleet.

According to the combat power distribution system, we can convert the battleship into a golden lion and distribute it to Captain Ivan and the crew of the "Conch" according to the highest standard.

Moreover, I propose that since our 'Navy Nova' temporarily has no warships available, the fleet can make an exception and assign him a fifth-tier ship. I heard that the fleet just launched two brand new Tier 5 ships last month? "

‘Bah, smelly shameless! '

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Snart, who was also present here, just wanted to punch this shameless old man in the face. The ownership of the two fifth-tier ships had already been determined before they were launched, and it was after a game of various forces. the result of.

Moreover, there are half-paid captains on the shore who are more than half the number of active captains, waiting for a vacancy. They want to go to sea to make a fortune, and they are loyal to the Queen!

As soon as this proposal came out, wasn't it obvious that he wanted the person in charge of the logistics department to forcibly offend a large number of people?

It is really a good idea to want to benefit yourself and to be generous to the fleet! And who in the fleet doesn't know that Aiwen is one of his own, who are you looking down on here leading your own group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to show their teeth and claws? !

However, it was not suitable for me to fight directly with this old guy in the staff room, so I winked at a major general next to him who also belonged to the logistics department.

The major general understood immediately, stood up and directly pierced the silver-haired old man's disguise of "private use of public tools" in the name of "public heart", and said sarcastically:

"Your Excellency Manison, the Third Fleet has not had a battleship commander for more than two years. This time the 'Storm Horn' returns, you don't want to assign this battleship to your 'outstanding' grandson, do you?" ?”

The silver-haired old man was still an acquaintance of Aiwen, to be precise, his housekeeper had a relationship with Aiwen once. It was the Manison family who almost cut off the extraordinary characteristics of the "Blue Flag Demon Shark" that Geer had obtained in the logistics department.

Although the Major General didn't show it in his words, he felt in his heart that the old general was probably too old and Shi Lezhi.

Although the higher-ups in the nearby fleet did not speak out of the principle that they had nothing to do with themselves, they all had the same thoughts in their hearts as this major general.

Anyone with a discerning eye doesn't know that although Major Aiwen is young, his extraordinary level is not too high. But judging from the captain's appointment letter sent by the military department, it is clear that this man has already fallen into the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, it's only a matter of time before he becomes successful.

Hearing the major general officer's merciless questioning, the silver-haired old man's face was slightly stiff, but he couldn't say anything negative.

In fact, as an old bureaucrat, how could Manison not see the situation clearly?

However, he had already severely offended the two uncles and nephews in the matter of extraordinary characteristics before. Although he failed to succeed, the hatred had already been forged. Use yourself to judge others, if you suffered a loss when you were weak, you must find a way to retaliate severely after you get up!

Since it was already doomed not to be friends, even if he couldn't make any big moves, how could he let go now that he had the opportunity to suppress and delay his progress?

Moreover, he didn't use external tactics, and relied entirely on the fleet's military regulations, and no one could find fault with him officially.

What's more, my only grandson who served in the army is over thirty years old. He didn't pass the entrance test of the Naval Academy, and he couldn't meet the minimum qualifications for the short training class. So far, he is just an ordinary fifth-class ship. captain.

When I retire in two years, who can the family rely on to support it?

It is well known that Manison lacks a sense of security!
