"Reduce sails and slow down!"

"Prepare for anchoring, cable preparation, boat board preparation!"

"The offshore distance is 800, the direction is south, the water waves are gentle, and the final course is adjusted!"

"The left rudder is fifth...third... forward, return to the rudder!"

"Receive pilot signals, translate, Golden Deer, welcome home!"

"Enter the port! Mooring anchor!"

The anchor chain wrapped in oil was sinking into the water with a crisp sound, and a colorful oil flower appeared, spreading and disappearing with the waves.

The thick cable was thrown down from the towering bow, put on the fixed piles of the dock, and tied them tightly. The swaying of the hull could be seen weakly as the naked eye, and the wide slabs poked out from the side side, leaning to support the dock, counterweight, and stable.

The Jinlu finally completed the entry regulations. The towering hull was docked close to the pier at Luxi Fishing Port. Against the backdrop of the scarred Rainfrog, it showed its size, wideness, radiance, and radiance.

Caribbean scorer President Chuck and Transport Fleet Admiral Coterence were disembarked first.

They are the talkers of the branch, the head of external contacts, and the absolute leader of the branch outsiders and Caribbean local snakes. The branch has performed outstandingly since its establishment.

In just less than two months, the branch had 98 contracted employees and four Skuna-type Clippers, opening up trade routes for all British and Portuguese colonies, and built ten trade offices and fifteen warehouses, successfully achieving monthly income and expenditure balance.

A series of achievements made Chuck tell the truth in the branch, and Cotterance also showed above-level shrewdness and ability in small-scale short-term trade.

More importantly, as the controller of equity, Lorraine truly did not say a word during the branch establishment stage, or even evaporated from the world.

Chuck couldn't help but feel sorry for Lorraine's generosity and trust.

He and Cottruns stood shoulder to shoulder on the clean wooden walkway of the dock, looking up at the Golden Deer, which looked inconspicuous and even a little shabby, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Cotterance leaned closer and asked softly: "President, is this the ship the chairman asked us?"

"Yes, the full ship is equipped with Brigentina. The equipment price in England is about 9,500 to 10,500 pounds. The full stern arc and sharp bow are standard Baltimore design style, but the main mast does not tilt backwards, and the waterline does not show the obvious rise of the bow. It is estimated that it is a 75 or 76 design. The actual launch time will not exceed 4 years. It is a real new high-speed ship."

Cotterance's eyes shone: "You said she is a high-speed ship built by the Baltimore dock?"

Chuck nodded slightly: "Baltimore shipmakers are restless and specialize in the design of high-speed ships, so the ships they built have different characteristics at different times and are significantly different from other places."

He pointed to the Rainfrog, which was floating with the waves, and explained little by little: "At the earliest, in order to increase the ship's ability to break waves, they moved the center of gravity of the ship back and designed a hollow bow. The waterline of this type of ship had a significant rise."

"But upward ships are not conducive to naval combat, so they quickly gave up this type of design and were reluctant to let the mast inclination generated by the upward ship. About 10 years ago, Baltimore began to appear with mainmasts with backward tilts, especially cross sails. The backward tilt sailing equipment can greatly improve the wind-receiving efficiency of multiple masts on the windward surface, and with wing sails, it can greatly increase the speed of the ship."

"After 75 years, the country bumpkins began to resist, the noble English ship craftsmen were forced to evacuate from the New World, and Baltimore also began to undertake military business. In terms of the military's needs, the backward sail was obviously not suitable for close-range sea fighting, so they had to be abandoned again. The new design gradually took shape during the construction process, taking into account speed, agility, and assault, giving up the wind-facing acceleration that Baltimore once proud of is the sword-shaped bow and shield-shaped stern in front of you."

Cotterance was fascinated by the sound of his ears and couldn't help but exclaim: "President, although you don't go out to sea often, you are more familiar with the affairs of the sea than most sailors."

"It's just a script..." Chuck shook his head, "This ship will become the first ship of the Ocean Fleet and needs a thorough overhaul. Damn, Miss McCarthy's letter clearly stated that the chairman snatched the ship from a group of pirates during the expedition and had not experienced naval battles. How could he break like this?"

"Born pirates, human-shaped beasts..." Cotterance didn't understand what the Rainfrog had experienced to become the honor now, but he cared more about Chuck's other words, "President, you said we are going to start building the Ocean Fleet, the admiral of the fleet..."

"I have discussed with the vice president. You will be the admiral of the Ocean Fleet. He will select the right chief mate and helmsman for you, and the remaining seafarers will ask you to dig by yourself, preferably from the army. You know, they will become the backbone of the fleet."

Cotterance's eyes were lit up with excitement: "Thank you for the trust of the two presidents! I happen to have several old friends with outstanding skills and character. They did not live well in the Navy..."

"Then try hard, my admiral."

...

While Chuck and Corterance were chatting, Leonard and Almert also got off the boat one after another, and swayed lazily in front of Dylan, who was guiding him.

"That girl is the first ship the captain found for the branch?" Olmert raised his eyebrows and glanced at the Tree Frog.

Dylan shrugged his shoulder indifferently: "I heard from the cannon leader that in order to make the ship good weather, the captain sacrificed more than thirty pirates alive in Lake Pontchartrene."

"Beheading on the boat? Or jumping on the deck to feed the fish?"

"Hanged, the mast is full of pirates, like the ears of wheat in autumn."

"What a big deal."

"Yes..." Dylan put away the two-color flag and stretched his waist. "It's Brigentina again, which reminds people of the days on the Butterfly Flower. What a good girl, especially the shot of the Golden Deer skirt. At that time, I never thought that the Golden Deer could become our woman."

The three old brothers sighed with their heads.

According to Lorraine's business philosophy, outstanding crew members who have been assessed and trained will eventually become the backbone and core of local chambers of commerce, and 40 years old is their threshold.

Over 40 years old, in principle, the work on the ship will no longer be arranged, so among the three, only Olmert has a short time left.

The old guys knew that this was Lorraine's kindness, but they were used to chasing the wind and making waves. In a short period of time, they could not adapt to the solid land under their feet and the life of the ancient well in front of them.

I want to bet on my life, take risks, and get hurt...

All kinds of thoughts bite them when they dreamed back at midnight, and decadence and emptiness became the biggest enemies of new life.

Perhaps... I really need to fill this emptiness with a trivial family life?

Leonard thought so, raised his hand and patted Dylan and Olmert on the shoulders.

"The letter from Southampton has arrived. The first trade ship is full of Scandinavian swords, at the latest in April. Because this time, I chose the most mature low-latitude route, so you will definitely be able to eat the breakfast made by your wife in the beginning of May."

In an instant, Dylan was shocked: "w...w...whatttttt!"
