In the morning, Yang Fan did not accompany his wives to have breakfast. He came to the ship's grand ballroom.
Today, the captains of the twelve cruisers were ordered to have breakfast with the master. They knew that the master must have something to tell him. I just don’t want to make it too formal. At the same time, it is also about getting closer to subordinates and cultivating feelings.
They came by transport boat Royal Clipper early in the morning. They had never seen such a big ship, and it was a cruise ship. They also don’t know what a cruise ship is. In short, the master's ship must be the best.
These traffic boats carrying some young captains all raised the navy captain's flag, indicating that a captain and captain were on board. Originally, the captain of the cruiser, Yang Fan, was planning to have the rank of major.
However, the army has just been formed and they have no achievements, so they can only use captains first.
From now on, whoever can make meritorious deeds will be promoted to school officer first. A colonel is a mid-level officer. Although there is only one difference between him and the captain, this difference is huge. There is a big difference in terms of prospects and treatment.
As they approached the big ship, they couldn't get enough of it.
Their cruiser is designed as a three-masted, fully equipped fast sailing ship with a length of 85 meters, a width of 11 meters, a standard displacement of more than 1,500 tons, a maximum sail area of 2,630 square meters, a maximum sail speed of about 18 knots, and a limit speed of more than 21 knots.
There are 250 officers and soldiers on board. Among them, there are 35 ship-operating officers and soldiers. A squadron of Marines, about a hundred people. There are about a hundred gunners. The remainder were the captain, first mate, meteorological officer, navigation observation and chart team. Damage control team, radio station team. Carpenters, blacksmiths, medical teams, chef classes, animal keepers, etc.
After they received the new ship, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep well for a few days. They felt that the new ship was too big. But now, when I came under this giant ship with a standard row of five thousand tons, I realized that I was a frog in the well.
A ladder was lowered from the side, and officers escorted the captains onto the ship. Captain Lin Yuan personally welcomed them on the deck. Lin Yuan is the squad leader of their first naval captain class.
So I became the captain of my master's ship. At this point, there is no use in envy. Who can let someone take the first place in all subjects?
"The master is waiting for you in the grand banquet hall. Come with me."
"Boss Lin, do you have a mission for us?" Zhou Shan couldn't help but ask. This time, he showed his face for a while.
Master observes the artillery drill. Sitting on his Huashan ship. Moreover, their ship achieved the best results in this artillery exercise.
"Well, yes, but I can't say that the master will personally assign you tasks later. You must be mentally prepared. This task is not easy." Lin Yuan said.
"As a soldier, who is afraid that the task will be difficult? I am afraid that there will be no task for us. I am still waiting to add leverage." Zhou Shan said with a playful smile.
"Let's see what you can do. You'll cry later." Lin Yuan, as the big brother of their generation, was able to get along well with them. We are all brothers who came from the same dormitory.
Once on board they couldn't get enough of it. Especially the girls wearing miniskirts and navy uniforms. Stockings and high heels were not available in this era. The eyes of these animals were all wide-eyed.
Han Pingyuan, the captain of the Qinling ship, drooled and said: "Brother, it's your ship that enjoys the blessings. Why don't I, the captain, stop being the captain? I can just come here and be the first mate."
Before he finished speaking, he was kicked. Lin Yuan cursed: "Shut up, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will go wash the deck for Lin Bei."
"Please pay attention to me, don't keep looking at other girls' thighs. These people are serving the master. They are the waiters of the yacht's warehouse. They are not under my control. Let their leader see it, and be careful to repair you." "
"Who are you fixing, Captain Lin?" Xu Xiu arrived without knowing when.
"Ah, it's nothing. I brought the other captains here. Captain Xu, these are the captains of various cruisers, and my brothers who came from the same dormitory. Let me introduce them to you." Lin Yuan said quickly.
This Xu Xiu didn't know where he came from. He didn't graduate from the Jeju Island Naval Academy. He knew everyone in this school.
Xu Xiu's level of navigation business far surpassed his, and he knew it well. Several difficult problems encountered during the trial voyage were solved by Xu Xiu. This girl has a mysterious origin.
Lin Yuan naturally had no way of knowing that Xu Xiu was the second biochemical warrior after Ali. There is also Su Tongtong, the confidential secretary in charge of Yang Fan's study in Xincheng. She is the third cyborg.
Cyborgs are very expensive and require a lot of gold. But it's worth the money, these people are absolutely loyal, and Yang Fan is very confident when using them in key places.
When he heard that this woman was actually the deputy captain and also had the rank of captain, he immediately shrank his neck, hoping that she had not heard what he just said.
Xu Xiu and the others got to know each other, and there was not much nonsense. With a cold look, he said to them: "Come with me. This is the master's residence. There are many women, so don't look around."
A group of people entered the stairwell from the deck. Along the way, the decoration was so luxurious that these young guys couldn't get enough of it. But the security is also very tight. There are female soldiers with guns at every intersection to indicate the route.
They passed through the splendid three-story high hall. Come to the grand banquet hall.
Xu Xiu knocked on the door and shouted: "Report, the cruiser captains are here."
"Come in, let's serve the food." Yang Fan's voice came from inside.
A group of people entered the door, and inside was a long white Western-style table. Yang Fan sat at the very end, on a seat with a very high back. The chair was intricately carved and gilded. It has an extra base and is one foot taller than other chairs, making it look very luxurious.
Xu Xiu gave Yang Fan a military salute, then left and closed the door.
Lin Yuan immediately put his legs together and lined up a row with all the members of the captain's squad. He gave a military salute to Yang Fan and shouted loudly: "All the students in the first cruiser captain class of Jeju Island Naval School, report to the master and ask for instructions."
Yang Fan looked at these high-spirited young men of eighteen or nineteen with satisfaction. All of them have tall and straight figures and are full of heroic spirit. The eyes are bright and clear. They are all good seeds.
"After the ceremony, please take a seat."
"Here! Thank you sir for the seat."
At this time, the female soldiers on duty filed in, carrying breakfast. Give everyone a piece of breakfast. The navy generally follows Western etiquette, and meals are served per person. Yang Fan eats the same as everyone else.
Today's breakfast is a dozen freshly baked small pieces of toast, two sunny-side-up eggs with candied filling, and a portion of beetroot soup. A vegetable salad. A freshly grilled sausage. Add honey to a tall glass of hot corn juice. There is also a small four-compartment plate with small portions of pickles.
Desserts are milkshakes and egg tarts.
After the female soldiers served the food, they asked one by one if they wanted a glass of boiling water. Yang Fan has the habit of drinking boiled water in the morning. Hot water is also provided for meals on board.
"I have come to you today for a mission. If you are interested, you can sign up." Yang Fan looked at them and said.
"Resolutely complete the task, please give me your instructions." With a crash, everyone stood up again.
Yang Fan waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down and not be nervous.
"You all learned when you were in school that the world we live in is a sphere. Ming Dynasty is just a small piece of land. I am going to send you to explore this world and go on a voyage."
