Chapter 348

North of the golden sea.

Nameless Island, port hatrafah.

This is a secret private port belonging to donglunzhi company. It was not long before it was discovered and started construction.

Because of the special situation after the war between Elvin and the Silurian fleet, they were used urgently.

Although it is located in the golden sea, the core sphere of influence of hillius on the east coast of the new world, its position is very hidden.

The area of the island is not small. Although most of it is uncultivated woodland, there is fresh water. If we manage it carefully, it can supply thousands of people to live here.

It is surrounded by reefs, with only a narrow channel connected to the lagoon outside the private port. If there are foreign enemies, no matter how many people or ships come, they can only get in and out through the narrow waterway.

As long as a sufficient number of forts are built on both sides of the passage, this easy to defend and difficult to attack gateway can be firmly held.

The other side of the island is also covered with reefs.

Although due to the time problem, the initial surveyors of the East branch company have not had time to explore clearly, they believe that there must be more than one road leading to the nearby Tasman islands under such complex hydrological conditions.

The Tasman islands are made up of islands, reefs, sandbars and so on. Even if a whole fleet hides in it, it can't be found in a short time.

Obviously, just looking at their initial choice for port construction in the early stage, we can see that it can't be used to do anything good.

However, it's just a bargain for Elvin and them.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of hillius, they did not choose to return to "dierbenburg" or any colony belonging to faletis.

Turning on the "fog silver lamp" all the way is like a mass of white fog on the sea, coming here quietly from the territorial sea buffer zone of Sark and tulip in the north.

It's hidden smoothly.

In fact, although hillius established a large number of naval bases, colonies and castles in the East and West.

It took 200 years to defend its world hegemony with the Great Wall on the sea.

But there is a key problem that can not be ignored.

The population of hillius is too small!

Compared with the land, the population is so thin that it can't rule the largest territory in the world.

Just like the ancient Chinese monarchy did not go to the countryside, they just established a point like limited rule with naval bases and cities, and there were a large number of vacuum areas outside, which they had no time to take into account.

It also gives pirates and other forces room to thrive.

There was even a case where the pirates drove the silurians off a certain island, and the Silurian authorities were too lazy to take care of it.

By this time, it was the third day that four warships had come here.

Although the scale is not small, but also very simple dry dock, the crew of the "windstorm horn" and "Starnberg" two of the most damaged warships towed ashore for overhaul.

When! When! When! ...

Nail! Nail! Nail! ...

the poop of the "windstorm horn" was damaged again. The skillful carpenters on board ordered the sailors to rush up and down, and they wanted to repair it as soon as possible by using the ship materials urgently sent by donglunzhi company.

A small half of the sideboard of the starlander was directly torn by the powerful force of the self explosion. Although it did not reach below the waterline, the injury was more serious than that of the windstorm horn.

Even after the emergency repair, there was still water leakage during the voyage.

On the way home, there was a group of sailors at any time, who were responsible for using the manual water pump to pump water continuously for 24 hours, so that they insisted on coming here.

In the carpenters' expectation.

The repair time of "windstorm horn" should be faster, and it should take about half a month, while the "xingdengbao" may not be able to be launched again before the end of the "silver war".

However, as the commander in chief, Evan is not in a hurry.

Because when he just arrived at hatrafah port, he had received the next instruction from lieutenant general Gustav, the highest military officer of "dierbenzburg", or more accurately, a "commendation order".

In the name of the highest military officer in the new world, the lieutenant general has asked the Royal Army for credit for all the officers and men of fengfengjiao and endeavor, especially the individuals who made outstanding contributions or heroic sacrifices.

In the order of commendation.

Ivan was promoted to the rank of Colonel (with the command of the small fleet since then), Milan to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (with outstanding achievements in turning the tide), Gary to the rank of major (the rank of captain can no longer match his ability and merit), Boris to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel (with enough credit, give Ivan another face this time)...

other personnel were promoted.

It's just that Elvin and storm horn are directly under the command of the Navy, and they can only take effect after the orders of the Navy arrive.

But from either lieutenant general Gustav's point of view or Ivan's point of view, it is clear that the military department is unlikely to reject the order.The "commendation order" was delivered by major general Desmond brand in person. At the same time, it also has the meaning of personally coming to accept the victory.

After all, not to mention the current "silver war", it is such a long time that the two countries have been fighting openly and secretly.

This kind of "total annihilation of the other party's fleet headed by class III warships" is rare, let alone silent.

There are several class III ships of hillius in the whole new world, each of which is related to the ruling power of hillius over this continent.

After losing this fleet, it's hard for others to say, but the vice King District of La Plata who sent them is absolutely crazy!

But with the physical and spiritual aspects of the double cover, no one can find that it is actually the hands of faletis quietly.

At the same time, the captured warships were temporarily placed under Elvin's command, allowing them to withdraw from the battle sequence and temporarily repair. Major general Desmond brand promised to find a way to replenish Elvin's lost soldiers as soon as possible.

Finally, when he left, he just took the flags from several ships. He was going to show the results to his "allies" and fight for interests!

After inspecting the dock work, Elvin walks alone along the unpaved loess Road on the island to the current planned residential area on the island.

At this time, the island is short of manpower. Every human resource is precious. Everyone has his own work to do.

"Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.

Now that they are temporarily out of the fighting sequence, it means they need to stay here for a while.

Due to the influence of mountains, currents and trade winds, the climate in the golden sea will be different.

However, most of the areas have tropical marine climate, which is not friendly to most soldiers who grew up in the high latitudes of the old continent.

Malaria, yellow fever, dysentery, edema, colds, parasitic diseases... And all kinds of strange diseases can't be prevented.

If there is no stable residence to ensure a good rest, whether it is physical condition, combat effectiveness, immunity will decline rapidly, without fighting will be defeated by a variety of diseases!

The only thing that makes people feel incredible is that they are not guarded by faletis soldiers, and they are not wearing any shackles or other restrictions on freedom.

Even the faces of these hillius were full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, as if they were building palaces for their king instead of serving faletis.

"Don't worry, sir. The soldiers' houses will be delivered on time."

When passing by Elvin's side, the first captain saluted him respectfully, and other soldiers carrying wood also paid attention.

Elvin nodded very naturally and watched them run away with great energy.

On this point, even the crew on board, who had been used to Ivan's magical methods for a long time, felt a little chilly when they learned the truth.

He was more and more awed of his own captain.

Because, it's not that these hillius soldiers have abandoned the secret, but that they all drank a unique medicine. Elvin's puppet potion is made from mushrooms grown from Mallory and moppulati.

This potion will not have any impact on their wisdom, ability and health, but it has quietly implanted the order of full loyalty to Elvin in in their hearts, and all other values and ideas will also make their own adjustments with this core.

The most important thing is that it is highly hidden, and there is no mycelium on the body, and there is no abnormality. As long as you don't encounter the choice that conflicts with the core command, even the closest person can't find it.

However, there are limits to this kind of "evil" thing. The effect of taking medicine at a time can last for up to one month, and the effect will gradually decrease over time, and even gradually develop drug resistance.

There's one big flaw.

Even the potion level can only control ordinary people. After extraordinary transformation and baptism, the determined official knight is almost immune to this kind of thing.

It is absolutely impossible to use this kind of thing to easily harvest a large number of loyal subordinates, control the command of the enemy's military, or be used by those in power to rule the people.

Based on the principle of waste utilization.

Since there were so many Silurian captives, major general Desmond brand didn't say what to do with them before he left. Evan made up his own mind to turn these captives into a member of the port hatrafah construction army.

Just like the anumas and the Atleans that hillius enslaved.
