Tiha Harbor in the south of Wode, Tiha is very beautiful in June, with turquoise waters, blue skies, and bright, slightly cool sea breezes. The turquoise waters are so clear that you can see the reflection of each ship,

The blue sky was free of impurities, pure as a fairy's delicately woven satin. The docks were full of transports, constantly loading and unloading people, supplies, and equipment, and each dock worker wished that he had four legs and four arms so that he could carry more things at a time.

As the most important trading port in the south of the city, looking out from the top of the slender clock tower that stands 40 meters high in the middle of the port, you can see that there are still a large number of transport ships lining up to enter the port on the vast sea outside the pier.

They were all merchant ships from the Salander region, carrying a large amount of goods, which needed to be transshipped in the port of Tiha and then sold to various parts of the mainland, and the large and small warehouses on the port wharf were stocked with raw materials such as minerals and timber collected from all over Salander, as well as grain.

In order to meet the heavy transportation demand, the transport ships responsible for transporting goods sail in a queue on the sea for thousands of miles, forming a never-ending assembly line, and every day a large number of people and supplies are transported from the transit point of Salander to Tiha, which is being revived, but there is also a very calm place in the northwest of the busy port.

It has one of the finest natural deep-water harbors in the port of Tiha, with four or five old-fashioned warships with round bellies and flat-bottomed ships that rise and fall with the waves, and three or four brand-new dragon's tooth warships cruising across the sea, all of which were captured by the Salander and Rode navies, representing the best of traditional naval forces, including a "Storm Sea Serpent" captured in naval battles

This storm sea serpent is the only flagship of the Roude Navy that has not been used when the Roud Kingdom announced its annexation to the Falcon Dynasty, which was once the hope of the Roude people to fight against the Falcon Navy, and is the pride of the Roude Navy.

As its name suggests, the Storm Sea Serpent. The hull made of stainless steel and wood, with its rigid and hideous appearance, is more than twice the size of an ordinary warship, relying only on its tonnage and sturdy and huge ramming angles. It's enough to smash any enemy like a heavy cavalry spear in the hands of a knight, even in the face of the Falcon Navy's Dragon-class capital ships, but unfortunately, because the materials required are extremely rare and the construction process is complicated,

So the fat man finally chose to abandon the pinnacle of this old warship, and handed over the storm sea serpent to the Imperial Navy Officers Academy for teaching use, and those brand-new dragon tooth battleships. It is used as a real combat confrontation exercise.

To the north-west of these calm warships, there is a piece of architecture with a classical connotation. White brick walls, pale cyan tiles, covering dozens of acres of land,

The classical meaning contains a strong solemn and solemn taste, and on the tallest brick building in the center, a large blue falcon naval flag flutters in the wind. In front of the Navy Flag is a huge green square, with tens of thousands of square meters.

Directly in front of the green square. There is a white stone gate, and there are guards with solemn expressions on both sides of the stone gate, showing a piece of slaughter belonging to the army. In the middle of the top ground. It is engraved with 8 large characters in sea blue "Imperial Navy Military Academy".

This is the newly established Imperial Naval Academy, which caused a debate within the Empire about the location of the Naval Academy, and some officers thought that it should be built in the place where the Falcon Navy was born.

The South China Sea, where the waters are relatively calm, merchant ships come and go frequently, and the training is relatively safe, so even if you do encounter something on the surface, you can get help. The factions that proposed this plan were mainly army generals, most of them were born in the south of Vekia, and followed the Falcon Majesty Xià to fight in the south, although they are now important ministers of the empire, but the nostalgia is difficult, so they prefer the foundation of the imperial navy. Still able to stay in the south of Vekia...,

Other officers believed that it should be built in the northern part of Salander, where the commercial area was flourishing, which was a densely populated area, a golden area for maritime trade, the base camp of the Imperial Navy, with a rich sea area, and in any respect, it was the best place to establish the Imperial Naval School.

This is a battle, and it is a secret competition between the navy and the army, and these two plans were submitted to the Falcon, and they were ruthlessly rejected by His Majesty Falcon.

"What do you want to do? Occupy the mountain? The empire needs warriors who dare to challenge the sea, not a group of flowers growing in a greenhouse, and their journey is not here, but a wider and more exciting sea"

Under the approval of His Majesty Falcon, the Imperial Navy Minister Dustronik understood and immediately reported the third plan, Tiha, an area that has been neglected by military forces, will take Tiha as the center of gravity of the development of the Imperial Navy, not only because the southern part of the Falcon is in the middle of the entire sea area, but also because the environment of the Great Sea is very similar to the environment of the Falcon Navy's upcoming battle in the large sea area.

The wind and waves here are high, and it is difficult for ordinary small and medium-sized warships to sail, so although the Zode Navy is not weak, but because of the lack of large warships, it has always been limited to the inland sea, and it is the best cradle for cultivating an ocean-going navy

This huge mansion of the Naval Academy, originally the mansion of the Moras family, the largest family in Tiha, was known for its luxurious atmosphere, and later the entire southern coast of Mighty was ravaged by the Huren tribe, and all the famous families with a history of two hundred years also suffered in this turmoil, and suddenly became desolate.

The Falcon army landed in Tiha, and then used it as a base to advance into the hinterland of Goude, of course, it will not let go of this treasure of feng shui, and after several months of hard work, the original appearance of the mansion has gradually been restored, which can be used as the address of the Naval Academy.

The fat man stood solemnly under the sign at the door for a while, as if he felt the solemn and solemn atmosphere here, and then slowly walked into the campus. As he walked across the vast flat in front of him, the fat man suddenly stopped,

There was a class of naval cadets who were training on the pale on how to calculate the angle of shooting in naval battles, and the cadets gathered in front of two first-generation old Thors that had been eliminated from the Dragon's Tooth battleship, curious and excited, and they were being taught an old seaman, whose somewhat dark face was full of the feeling of being weathered.

Finding someone coming in, the old seafarer looked at it curiously, and the fat man who was not good-looking was just dressed in plain clothes, in order not to disturb the normal teaching. The guards stopped outside the gate,

The fat man was also accompanied by a captain of the Admiralty, Bercahaas, who had served as the flagship captain of the Navy's privateer fleet, an important figure who was left behind by Duströmkaiyi to guard the base camp because of the Navy's expedition.

"Salute!" the students turned their heads when they saw Burcajas. The excited Richichi body, for the fat man next to him, no one paid attention to it, or it can be said that he deliberately ignored it.

"Your Majesty, these are young men with naval talents, they come from different regions, there are Salanders. There are also Vekians, and they are all very nice lads, after training. It will definitely become a sword that gallops across the ocean," Berkajas said with a respectful expression beside him

"Yes, it seems that your prestige among them is very high!" the fat man smiled disapprovingly, and when he heard the cold sweat breaking out from Bercajas next to him, he could only secretly pray that the Falcon Majesty was just a joke,...,

Whoever calls the fat man looks really bad, and he doesn't wear an army uniform, it's easy for people to mistake him for a plainclothes entourage next to Berhaas, compared with the fat man next to him, Burkahaas's identity is different,

The most experienced captain of the naval fleet. The actual judge of the naval cadets, whether the students of the academy can graduate smoothly is not based on the so-called theoretical results, but whether they can get the willingness of this captain Burcahas to nod his head

"Captain Burcahas has come to pick a new captain!" I don't know who spread the news, and soon the entire Naval Academy was boiling, and it was already June. It was the day when the new batch of cadets was about to graduate, and many of the graduating naval cadets ran out of the classrooms, and they gathered in the square to show their best skills in front of Burcahaas

Everyone knows that this captain Burcahas has a habit of booking officers in advance, and if anyone can get a letter of recommendation from this notoriously demanding captain, it is not impossible to directly serve as the captain of a transport ship

"What do you want to do?"

Berkahaas was startled by the reaction of the students in front of him, but the students had already hula-la-la, and the crowd squeezed the fat man next to him to the side, and soon, Burkahaas found that the falcon had disappeared from sight

"Ahh You guys...... No. “

Berkahaas's voice in the crowd was hurried and flustered, but he didn't dare to shout loudly that his majesty was here, so he could only squeeze out, but the cadets didn't care so much, and they thought that the new officer, who had been selected by the assessor with great power, said in front of him how good he was.

In fact, just now, the fat man has consciously taken a step out of the way, these young students make the fat man have a feeling of being young again, in fact, the fat man is only 23 years old, but the long years of conquest and killing, hovering between conspiracy and blood, make the fat man almost forget that he is also a young man "It's good to be young!"

Looking at the surrounded Burcajas, the fat man suddenly had an urge to laugh, in these young people, the fat man saw the vigorous vitality and hope of the Imperial Navy, only these bloody bodies, can step into the sea of life and death without hesitation, they are the hope of the Imperial Navy,

I think this kind of farce is too interesting, the fat man who has not been spoofed for a long time, sits down in the shade of a tree not far away, the sun is very hot in June, for a lazy person like the fat man, he is not willing to bask in the sun for a moment,

Tong Guò observed, the fat man also found another situation, compared with the hot blood impulses of these young students, there were still a few people standing nearby, most of their faces were a leisurely posture, as if they did not care about Burcajas,

The fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, and an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes, and he could see that these were some veterans on the battlefield,

"They're all gone, why don't you go!" Just as the fat man was watching the farce, a student with a leisurely look next to him walked over, he looked at the fat man, thinking that this was a new student

"Oh, why should I go there?" the fat man looked at the young man with a calm face, he was not very old, his steps were a little skewed, he had obviously been wounded in battle, and there was a hideous knife wound in the corner of his eye. There was a cold light flashing in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth had the sneer of a veteran soldier on the battlefield

Seeing the indifferent look on the fat man's face, the young man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and his nose twitched. "I don't know why, you make me feel special, you don't know who that person is, Burca Haas, our cute and hateful assessor, you know, in the last exam." More than half of the cadets who thought they could be captains were brushed off because they didn't get his approval! In our case, he is called the devil! It is a miracle to be able to pass a tenth of them"...,

"And such a thing! that's too unkind" The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed on his face, of course he knew about the last assessment,

It was an important assessment before the departure of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet, which needed a group of adventurous captains, so the requirements for the assessment were almost harsh. It requires not only the ability to steer a boat, but also the courage and courage to face all kinds of dangers

The fat man personally added an article to the conditions for the assessment. At least it must be a veteran who has a record of 2 naval battles, otherwise, it is not considered, this is not a war, but it is a more dangerous thing than war,

Most of the students who have not been on the battlefield don't know this unspoken rule set by themselves, so most of them have been secretly brushed down before the assessment.

Those who remained were veterans who had experienced bloody battles. Not being afraid of death does not mean that he is the most suitable person, and choosing people according to the purpose of the war is something that a commander needs to consider.

"If I'm not mistaken, you've been badly wounded!"

The fat man's gaze saw that the young man's right foot was a little lame. Young people don't have the slightest intention to hide, in fact, in the Falcon Army, it is not a very shameful thing to be injured in battle, the disability rate in the era of cold weapons is very high, under normal circumstances, as long as you can still move around freely, the army will not choose to fire the disabled wounded soldiers,

"Hehe, once in the three northern counties, once in the south, both injured on the right leg" The young man smiled a little sadly at the corner of his mouth, raised his head blankly, looked at the sky in the distance and said, "I am the squadron leader Kuber of the third squadron of the Fifth Banner Regiment of the Central Army, fighting from the northern grassland to the south, and this one on my face is an arrow wound, it was in the battle of Kyoto, if I hadn't flashed fast, I would have hung up a long time ago"

"Are you from the Central Army?" The fat man looked at him with some surprise, he had a very complicated feeling about his descendants, and asked, "You have been wounded three times, and you have gone through several major battles, why don't you apply to go home? Isn't the bounty you get enough?"

He can see that this is a veteran oilman, accustomed to life and death, and he will not play with his life like a recruit for a few rewards, they are already familiar with war and blood, like the smell of air, and the bonuses obtained in previous battles are enough for them to live the next life comfortably,

"Go home?" The young man smiled helplessly, pointed to the scar on his face, and said with a wry smile, "Do you want to go back like this?

Of course, I'm much better than my fellow countrymen who can only bring back their ashes, but many people like me are still reluctant to leave the army because we are used to this kind of life.

"Do they think the same way as you?" the fat man suddenly looked stern, and asked with his finger to some of the students who were looking around with indifferent expressions

"You're right, I'm used to the sound of the horn and the sword slashing in, I'm used to the military order, the passion of the army forward, if you leave this life, people will go crazy" The young man said with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, so I reported to the navy, I heard that the navy does not have restrictions on physical requirements, as long as you can walk on the deck of the warship, even if it is just as a gunner, or wipe the deck, anyway, don't let me go to live the life of an ordinary person!"

"Kuber, sue me, how many people like you are in the academy?" the fat man stood up and patted the dirt on his pants with his hand, the farce in front of him was about to come to an end, and he saw a familiar figure hurrying towards this side, Imperial Admiralty Ann Sachs, the dean of the Imperial Naval Academy, a senior pirate,...,

"There are probably more than 100 of them!" Kuber kept the smile on his face, because he also saw the dean with beads of sweat on his head, and quickly straightened his body, and straightened his body, because his right foot was disabled, so it looked a little funny,

But the fat man didn't smile, he turned over a wisp of thought in his heart after watching this veteran oil suddenly become a professional soldier, or maybe these are the real warriors, and the Imperial Navy that is most needed now

"100 people, that's enough for 2 dragon tooth warships!" Kuber heard the fat man next to him muttering to himself, and the voice of the Admiralty Deputy came over,

"Everyone go back to the classroom immediately, otherwise they will all be disqualified from graduation!" Ansachs said loudly, and the students scattered in fright, and when the personnel were basically finished, Ansachs fluttered and half-knelt down in front of the fat man, "Let Your Majesty be frightened, my subordinates are really damned!"
