Chapter 105 [Back to Europe]

Three days passed quickly, and the repair of all large ships had been completed. The huge hole of the Santa Maria was repaired with third-class ship materials. The recruitment of the navy began, but Li Si had no time to care about the recruitment of the navy.

Columbus had returned to Europe three days in advance. Lis had to speed up and transport a batch of artillery and ammunition to the American Republic before the fleet of the Spanish Empire arrived. In three days, he packed all the melted gold and prepared to return to Europe to buy firearms.

"Please all of these on the ship!" Li Si directed the sailors to load boxes of gold onto the ship. In addition to the Aris and Santa Maria, Li Si also drew three large ships for loading, and the five ships happened to form a small fleet.

"Tuttut, come here!" Li Si returned to Europe this time and brought Tuttut with him. After Tuttut was completed in Teotihuacan City, Li Si was ordered to learn about ship driving. Until now, he has basically learned the key points of ship driving that Li Si told him, and he is also aware of some of the sailing things.

"You can take this chart first and study it carefully. After a while, you can drive the Santa Maria!" Lis handed Tutut a hand-painted chart of the eastern coastal areas of North America and the Caribbean. This is a chart hand-painted by Lis based on his navigation chart.

"But, sir, I, I can't do it alone!" Tutut said nervously, and then his voice was filled with excitement: "Sir, sir, are we really going to the continent on the other side of the sea?"

"Of course, you must study and practice this voyage! Don't worry, I have equipped you with a first mate on the Santa Maria." Li Si patted Tutut's shoulder: "I hope you can block your side as soon as possible!"

"Yes! Thank you sir!" Tutut bowed to Li Si with gratitude.

"Moore!" Just then, Justin's voice came from behind Lis.

Li Si turned around, looked at Justin who was walking towards him, and said with a hint of guilt: "We are going to return to Europe soon. I think Professor Hutton must be anxious!"

"Yes, I haven't seen my father for so long..." Justin said a little depressed: "When I go back this time, my father will definitely blame me."

"We're going back soon, we're bringing all the things, right?" Lis asked, looking at Justin with empty hands.

"Hey, here!" Justin pointed in one direction.

"I said, why can't I find their people in a long time!" Li Si looked at Warren, Kaza and Kafi, who were carrying a big box alone, "It turns out that you have been called to move the box! But, you have a little more things!" Li Si looked at Justin teasingly.

"Not many!" Justin pouted, sucked his pretty little nose, and hummed, "These are all gifts given to me by others. I have pushed them a lot, otherwise your boat would not be able to hold my gift!"

"You!" Li Si scraped Justin's perky little nose bridge, "Get on the boat quickly!"

"Hmph!" Justin whined around Lis and walked up to the Aris with his hands behind his back.

"Haha..." Li Si laughed.

"Sir, I will get on the Santa Maria first!" Tutut said to Lis after Justin left.

"Okay, after you get on the boat, you should learn more from the college mate. That first mate is a very experienced first mate!" Li Si explained to Tutute.

"I will! Sir!"

The first mate on the St. Mary was one of the captives of the Columbus fleet. He had more than ten years of experience in sailing near-sea in Europe. He also successfully followed Columbus through the Storm Zone. Under the coercion and temptation of Lis, he joined Lis' fleet.

In addition to this first mate, Li Si also spent a lot of money to instigate a large number of prisoners. Anyone who could surrender in the naval battle was a person who knew the current affairs. Between the butcher knife and gold given by Li Si, smart people knew how to choose.

Of course, there were also a few stubborn people who asked them to be treated as prisoners of war. Li Si was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked someone to drag them down and chop them down.

Among these captives, there is a person that Lis especially wants to conquer, which is Fin Blanco. Unfortunately, Fin Blanco is worthy of being a baron pirate famous for his loyalty and righteousness. He can continue to avenge Escont after Escont's death, which shows his loyalty and righteousness. If he can get his allegiance, then Lis will have an arm that can be relied on.

Unfortunately, until now, Lis has not successfully obtained allegiance from Finn Blanco, but Lis did not give up. He put Blanco under house arrest and ordered the sailors to entertain him well. He would chat with Blanco every day to bring them closer together.

"Apache! Come here!" Li Si greeted Apache.

"Sir, what are your instructions?" Apache came over and saluted.

"I'm going to Europe. I don't have time to train the naval army anymore, so I can only hand it over to you. And these ships, I'll hand it over to you," Li Si pointed to the dense ships on Lake Gatung and said, "I hope that when I come back, you can lead an outstanding naval army to greet me!"

"Please rest assured, Apache will not let down his expectations!" Apache said loudly.

"Haha, OK!" Li Si laughed and patted Apache on the shoulder.

With Apache here, Lis can take a little attention to the navy. As long as he keeps the navy firmly in his hands and the reputation of the American Republic, he can use the American Republic as a base and then kill all sides.

At this moment, Warren walked to Li Si and leaned over to report to Li Si Hui: "Master, the goods have been loaded!"

"Oh!" Li Si's contemplation was interrupted. He looked at the fleet that was ready to set sail. "All of them are installed. After the high priest and the others come to say goodbye, we will set off!"

"Yes! Master!" Warren said, then stood behind Li Si and waited for the arrival of the high priest and the others with Li Si.

After a while, the high priest came from a distance with the elders of the Senate. The elders still needed Li Si to help transport firearms, so they could not do too much. When Li Si was about to voyage back to Europe, they all came to the dock to see him off.

"Sorry, Consul Moore! We're late!" The high priest said sorry when he walked up to Li Si.

"It's okay, High Priest, you are here just in time. I'm about to set sail!" Li Si smiled and said, "This time I'll buy a batch of firearms first. Next, America will welcome a large number of Europeans. Most of them come with hostility, but there are also people with friendship. This requires you to consider more from the High Priest!"

"Well, you have already said this yesterday, and I will consider it!" The high priest nodded: "You should be more careful this time, and the tomorrow of the Republic cannot be separated from you!"

"Don't worry, elders, I brought enough gold this time. After returning to Europe, I can change it to a firearm cannon. At that time, I will recruit several instructors to teach our army to use firearms!" Li Si patted his chest and said to the elders of the Senate aloud: "Then we will set sail now, and the elders need to worry more about domestic affairs!"

"Don't worry, you are here, there will be no problem with the empire!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Consul must go and come back soon!"

The elders said to let Li Si feel at ease in the country and go back early!

"Okay, I'll write down the words of the elders. I'm ready to set off now and say goodbye!" Li Si clasped his fists and said goodbye to the elders, and took Warren onto the Aris.

"Unlock the cable!"

"Rise—Sail!"

"set sail!"

As the sailors heard the sound of trumpets, a fleet of five ships slowly sailed away from Teotihuacan Pier.
