Chapter 55

On the surface, lighthouse island is just an isolated overseas island with neither resources nor scenery.

But in fact, it was the place where the great navigation movement of the kingdom of faletis started, and it was also the first non offshore island discovered by the government, which had extraordinary significance in the whole history of navigation.

The annual "Sailing Day" Commemoration also implies the Kingdom's spirit of continuous exploration.

In addition to the people, chambers of Commerce, explorers and various non-governmental organizations, the three fleets of the Kingdom regularly send representatives to participate in the annual celebration.

This year, the Third Fleet dispatched a class 4 battleship "warm wind" and a class 5 cruiser "Silver Wing" headed by lieutenant general snett, which is enough to show its importance.

It is worth mentioning that although the Chief Logistics Officer of the fleet is already in the top three, the third fleet is far from rich enough to send three or more major battleships to participate in the celebrations.

In the era of great navigation, every warship has its own important responsibilities.

Moreover, the east of Lighthouse island belongs to the coastal area, and its security can be guaranteed. Even these two warships were temporarily captured by strong men. This style of work is in line with the pragmatic spirit of the logistics officer.

Elvin measured the strength of the pirates he had encountered and his own side.

"Well, this mission should be stable. Besides, besides the one eyed Becky who has a special purpose, who will attack the warship without any reason? There is no doubt that if you are not careful, you may turn your head and cover your bones... "

at the beginning of the journey, Elvin has unconsciously set up a flag!

when he did not know, three black sail pirate ships wandering in the new world route quietly turned their course and sailed to the East Bank of the Black Sea.

With the help of the sea breeze, the black sails are bulging, and the shark's beaks painted on them are closed one by one, as if they are going to live.

...

"fire warning! Stop them. "

Bang -

Bang -

the shell splashed huge water near the ship's side, forcing a fast merchant ship to stop slowly, ignoring the signal of warship's stop.

From fat merchants and merchant ship captains in silk robes to ordinary sailors and slaves, they all went to the deck and lined up for inspection. In the face of two warships armed to the teeth, no one dared to resist.

Step... Step... Step..

the soldiers lined up and ran on the deck, their boots made a loud and orderly sound of footsteps, and quickly controlled everyone in just a few minutes.

It is now the fifth day for the two warships to take part in the celebration. All the way is calm. However, under the "golden eye" of general snett, a speedboat suspected of smuggling is found.

The voyage on the sea was too boring, and the calm general found the joy, and the above scene happened naturally.

"Sir, we are serious businessmen!"

The fat merchant could not help wiping the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, while trying to put a beautiful gold pocket watch into the hands of the major officer who led the inspection team on board.

"Serious businessman? What were you running for? " The officer sneered, but he was unreasonable about the bribery of the fat businessman. Lieutenant general snett was watching from the warship behind him. He was crazy to open the back door for this unscrupulous businessman.

"I... we just didn't see it. Yes, we didn't see the signal!" The sweat on the merchant's face was faster, and the officer's refusal to bribe made him feel bad.

After a while, the navy soldiers who went down to the cabin for inspection came back.

"Report, sir! The upper part of the cargo hold is ordinary wine in oak barrels, but there is only a small layer. The lower part of the hold is full of top-grade whale oil. "

Smell speech, major officer hey hey a smile, patting fat businessman's shoulder way: "serious businessman sir, can you explain why your actual goods and out of the tax documents are not consistent?"

The white faced fat businessman was patted by the officer and collapsed to the ground, crying.

"All my wealth, Wuwuwuwu..."

according to the law of the Kingdom, smuggling ships that have not paid taxes are not protected by the Navy, and once they are seized, all the goods will be confiscated.

If he did not happen to meet the inspection of the warship and successfully sold the smuggled goods, then the difference between the value of whale oil and ordinary drinks, excluding all the necessary expenses, would make him worth at least four or five times more.

Greed creates a sense of fluke, but the mentality of fat businessmen collapses when the dream of sudden wealth is pierced.

Everyone knew that he was not regretting smuggling, but regretting his bad luck and all his wealth that was about to leave him. If he can go back to the past, he will certainly make the same choice, but he will not take this route again...

the news will soon be sent back to the general's "warm wind" warship.

Standing on the main deck, next to the middle-aged officer in the general's cloak, a young man who was similar to the general but was only wearing a captain's uniform immediately jumped up: "ha ha ha, I knew it was a smuggling ship."Obviously, it was not the dazzling general who found that it was a smuggling ship, but the young people around him.

"Wow! My brother is wonderful A girl in a Gothic Lori dress beside cheered. It was obvious that they were the family members accompanying the general to the celebration.

Around them, a group of adjutants and officers on the warm wind formed a circle, one after another exclaimed: "it's really a tiger father without dogs!"

Unfortunately, on the other side of the silver wing, which is running side by side, Elvin grabs the lookout tower, which is a favorable terrain. He also noticed the young man who can be called the star of the moon for the first time.

"Wow

"Mr. Zorro is really a big shot!"

Although the whole process in addition to the normal flag communication, the members of the two ships do not have much interaction.

But today, when I saw this young man, Elvin recognized him at the first sight. It was the thief and diviner who had dealt with him several times, Mr. Zorro.

You don't have to guess that the unfortunate smuggling ship sank the sand not because of the so-called "eyesight" and "experience", but because of Zorro's extraordinary divination.

To tell you the truth, at the beginning of recognizing Zorro, Elvin didn't think much except to sigh that his real identity was higher than he imagined.

Because although they went all the way, there was no intersection between them. After this mission, they couldn't fight as two people.

But Elvin was quick to kick the bucket.

Wait!!

Elvin suddenly remembered what Zorro had left after the fight that night:

"I remember you! I'll give it to you and ask for advice next time. "

I didn't disguise myself that night. This guy knows himself!

However, after thinking about it, Elvin repeatedly confirmed that there should be no irreconcilable contradiction between himself and this guy. Although he robbed him of a witchcraft note, he also took care of his divination business!

Should not be able to give their own shoes to wear... Right?
