Chapter 397

however.

To whom the contract of these slaves should be transferred needs Evan to think it over.

Even within the kingdom of faletis, there are six Royal colonies, two owner colonies and three autonomous colonies, with a total of 11 colonies.

No matter which colony has been developing for less than a hundred years, there is a huge labor shortage.

Although the anuma slaves had a lazy nature, the slave owners had already learned how to manage them.

With strong physique and tenacious vitality to adapt to various environments, it has always been a hot commodity in the slave market.

If we make good use of it, we may be able to exchange other benefits for ourselves, even more than the value of their life as slaves!

As for absorbing some of the anuma into their own privateering fleet?

Well, Elvin has never had such a dangerous idea...

except for these slaves in the spoils.

In Elvin's eyes, the second most valuable harvest is not the bow statue lucky gold coin that has been added to the "Star" ship, but the double masted mixed sail slave ships!

Because with the growth of the Pirate Group, the four main warships in the privateering fleet are full, and every extra day is a huge waste.

It's just the cost of the fleet and it can't create value for itself.

But with these small sailboats, at least the problem of privatizing the future main pirate ships in the fleet will be solved.

On the surface, these ships are not worth mentioning compared with their cruise ships and battleships.

But in fact, in the current sea plunder activities, this kind of faster small warship is the real main force!

It's not easy to capture a large merchant ship with the strength of a small fast ship without the leadership of the captain of the extraordinary class, but the sea wolf tactics can be used.

When the white headed eagle had just established its country and was blocked by John Bull.

In order to break the situation, only six heavy cruisers such as "constitution" were launched.

As the main force of privateering, it is still a small privateering ship "brigantin type" two masted mixed sailboat (more advanced than the same two masted jackdaw).

This is the pinnacle of the sailboat design concept before the launch of the steam armored ship. Like the heavy cruiser, it also comes from the white headed eagle's special design for John Bull.

The brigantin type ketch, with a displacement of 210 tons, is equipped with one 24 pound gun and six 6 pound guns. Just like these slave carriers, they are two masted sailboats, with transverse sails on the foremast and longitudinal sails on the mainmast.

Its main feature is that it adopts streamlined V-shaped cross section hull with deep draft at the tail, which improves the longitudinal stability and speed.

Moreover, it is easier to sail than the ordinary horizontal sailboat, and the required professional degree and number of sailor are greatly reduced.

These ship design features represent the most advanced ship design ideas at that time, making the brigantin yacht one of the best clippers of Bluestar in the 19th century.

On the basis of the existing ordinary dhows, you can use the "activation aura" to re pinch the boat!

It's just a small ship of two or three hundred tons. I didn't expect that it would last long. Even if the ship might be crushed, its structural strength would be completely acceptable.

"However, it's better to have a group of professional craftsmen cooperate with me. Otherwise, it's too hard to deal with eight slave ships and one class five ship."

Thinking of this, Ivan rubbed his chin and thought of the next home for the anuma slaves.

....

far sail collar.

Ta.. Ta.. Ta..

a tall young man in a straight general's uniform, a cloak, and a gilt commanding knife hanging around his waist, under the personal guidance of the housekeeper of the amore family, walked into the towering family castle.

"Sir, please come in."

The Marquis of yuanfan family still retains its noble tradition.

After the initial completion of colonial development in that year, he rebuilt his own military castle in this base, and it was located in yuanfan city.

In other words, yuanfan city was built on the basis of this castle.

The main body is a towering five story fortress building, built with massive granite.

With the urn and high tower as military facilities, of course, there is no lack of stables, small Tibetan cave, military arena and so on.

Egret river, a river crossing the whole city, just flows through the gate of the castle, adding another defense force to it.

Although the style of yuanfan city is different from that of yuanfan City, it is necessary in the dangerous new world.

If not limited by financial resources, the early pioneers would like to build every city like this to resist the ubiquitous danger here.

Normally speaking, as a military fortress, the castle's living comfort is disappointing.However, this orange leaf castle belonging to the amore family is obviously an exception!

When Evan walked in it, he didn't feel the damp, cold and dark in the large military castle building. He felt comfortable, as if he stepped on the breath of spring every step of the way.

Compared with the subtropical weather outside the castle, the temperature and humidity are just like two worlds.

When he completely entered the main building of orange leaf castle, this feeling became more intense, and even made him a wizard with keen sense.

This feeling comes from the runes that are everywhere in the castle!

When aware of this, Elvin can't help but feel that he is not in the castle of a great nobleman, but a wizard tower full of murders.

"The Marquis of yuanfan must have worshipped a powerful wizard!"

The housekeeper of Marquis yuanfan's house, as if unaware of Elvin's strange behavior, continued to guide him ahead.

"Sir, the Marquis is waiting for you in the reception hall!"

"Er... OK."

If you are a penniless little wizard, when you come to such a place where people are taking advantage of me, of course, you will turn around and run for the first time.

But now, compared with the Marquis, his status in the kingdom is not small, but when he comes to the other side's territory, he should be the one who should worry about his safety.

So, after a moment's hesitation, Elvin has walked in calmly.

Though the decoration is not too luxurious, the hall is full of artistic atmosphere and historical precipitation.

In the reception room of the Marquis on the top floor of the castle, I met Marquis Duke amore, one of the most powerful figures in the whole kingdom and colony, the knight of the governor.

"Good day, governor!"

"Welcome to yuanfanling, general Evan. Please have a seat."

Standing by the window and looking out at the dock area, the Marquis, who is delivering slaves in the name of the East lunzhi company, turns his head, smiles and invites Elvin to sit on the sofa opposite him.

As a knight with an average life span of 150 years, the Marquis looks very young, dressed in a simple aristocratic costume, and has no airs when facing Elvin, a young man about the age of his daughter.

He even poured him a cup of black tea from the housekeeper himself, and said with a smile: "you have done several great things in the golden sea during this period. Inspired by your deeds, a large number of young people have joined the ranks of privateers.

It's said that even if armed merchant ships without permission to plunder the goods of hillius at sea, they will be declared legal as long as they are willing to pay taxes to the maritime court.

A trend has been set off in the whole new world, and the hegemonic silurians will have a headache in the future. Ha ha...

as the bridgehead of the kingdom in the golden sea and the closest sailor to the hillius, the Marquis is also annoyed by those who inevitably have to deal with him.

Maybe it is also because of Elvin's identity that he has been regarded by the Marquis as a person of the same level.

Although it was only through two letters before, it is still the first time to meet with each other, but there is no dignity and profundity of nobility and colonial governor in front of outsiders.

At this time, even a little bit of schadenfreude, also added a sense of closeness.

"Monsieur Marquis, it's just that the hillius didn't change their mind in a short time.

They can not sit idly by and watch the situation continue to develop. The strength of the overlord is still not enough to be underestimated. We should be careful to guard against hillius' backhand.

Maybe it won't be long before they react, tulip, Sark and Atlan will bear the brunt. "

"Oh?"

The Marquis's face was a little strange. Standing in this position, he knew much more about Evan than outsiders. Even he had a copy of the "despot disqualification plan".

At this time, however, he did not expect that such a young man, who had done a lot of great things and should have been satisfied, still kept such a clear mind.

It's not a fluke to be able to go from a fallen aristocrat to the present.

"But in any case, because of your actions, our shipyard business has improved a lot.

Even without this group of slaves, there is no problem with the need for excellent craftsmen to assist in the transformation of privateers mentioned in the previous letter. If the docks are not enough, we can also provide them.

To tell you the truth, most of the orders we received during this period are small privateers. Our craftsmen have rich experience in how you want to change them. "

Among the eleven colonies of faletis, yuanfanling and fordmont are the most developed in shipbuilding and shipping. Moreover, in the colony occupied by faletis, that is, the eastern part of the new world, white oak, which is very suitable for shipbuilding, is widely distributed.

Although it is not as good as the iron oak produced in Baoshu Bay in the southern continent, it can be used to build class II and class I battleships, and even has extraordinary materials to build legendary battleships.But there is no problem in building cruise ships or even low-level battleships.

On this point, the Marquis was very generous. He didn't even mention the cost of extra materials.

"Is that so?"

Hearing the Marquis's introduction to the current situation of shipbuilding industry in the colonies, Elvin suddenly had an idea.

Just like the previous call for a large number of "aspiring young men" to join the cause of looting, the progress of looting tools will certainly improve the success rate of looting and the efficiency of "blood loss plan".

I have already obtained brigadier general warships and a large number of resources that I am allowed to mobilize by relying on the paper-based "despot disqualification plan".

If the plan is promoted rapidly under its own leadership, there will be an endless stream of follow-up benefits.

We don't expect to be in the new world like aimore and pine, but it should be no problem to return to the peak of the Garriott family.

Even if Anita and herself have made great strides on the road of transcendence, no new members will be born in a short time, but only when they have their own foundation can they no longer be floating duckweeds.

Blackstone Town, Leopold and Shipwreck harbor, although these places are of great significance to my sister and brother, they are not "home" after all.

compared with them, a privateer design is nothing at all.

During the implementation of the plan, every achievement of the Kingdom has its own contribution, and there is no need to worry about the temporary gains and losses.

Today's every investment, in the future there will be a hundred times a thousand times the return, as long as... They are strong enough!

So, in his ceramic teacup, he said to the Marquis, "are you interested in the new, faster and stronger privateers?"

The Marquis, with shipbuilding as the basic economic pillar, immediately became interested:

"Oh? Do you mean that the Kingdom has begun to build the Garriott cruiser secretly

Elvin smiles:

"I'm sorry it's not. But in the cause of privation with the participation of the whole people, perhaps its significance will be even higher. "
