Remember [] in one second, read wonderful novels for free without pop-ups!

The anti-smuggling shipping line is militarized and managed. Don Larson is the major commander on the ship. His officers and non-commissioned officers are dressed in sophisticated uniforms. The deck shows dazzling blue and white. It is very bright on the shiny deck. Conspicuous.

The lean camel is bigger than a horse. The kingdom of Spain, once the world's first sunless empire, is still rich and willing to spend money to make uniforms for the officers and soldiers.

They lined up well, but the formation was not as neat as the phalanx of naval officers and soldiers, but they were also clean and tidy, with a focused expression, and Don Larson's training was well-directed.

The ship’s officer on duty stepped forward and reported the number of people on board. The condition was good and all the crew arrived. In fact, in order to prevent the crew from escaping, the warships were all parked at sea. They were not docked and were not allowed to go ashore without approval. Otherwise, military law Engage!

Life at sea is not a good job. It is dangerous because of the wind and waves. There are few monarchs who can provide seafarers with high salaries and benefits like Yan Changwu. Many seafarers are desperate to become seafarers, or just Was tricked into boarding a ship and charged.

Under such circumstances, the quality of the seafarers can be imagined. In order to avoid the occurrence of stopping the ship and not seeing a group of seafarers, the crew must not easily go ashore, and the captain will hold the crew's wages without paying them to avoid them from running away!

To be honest, morale is completely different. The South China Navy said that there will be a holiday during the holiday. The officers and soldiers dispersed in a rush, and they were not at all ambiguity. After the holiday, there is no shortage of one.

The South China Empire has a complete household registration system. Those who dare to evade military service will have to work hard. In the face of severe punishment, there is also the temptation of high salaries. The South China Navy is an elite, while the Spanish navy officers may be elites. The sailors who want to escape have already escaped. , Most of the rest are average, not capable...

Under various "measures", the "São Paulo" was fully loaded and prepared before sailing.

Don Larson checked his crew for a while and then dismissed the crew, and then asked his officers to go to the restaurant and guest room at the stern for a meeting.

The "São Paulo" is too small. Although Don Larson has an independent captain's room but no reception room, he can only borrow the restaurant.

His deputy captain, Captain Deco, shouted, "Sir, there's everyone!"

Including Gabriel Commander of Ordnance, Commander Esquero, Secretary Harvey and Captain Motta, they, together with the captain and deputy captain, constitute the main leadership of the ship.

In the big captain, the ordnance commander is called the gunner commander, and there are ordnance officers under him, and there are officers and lieutenants in the navigator, but there are not so many officers in the boat.

There are also some alternate non-commissioned officers, but they only act on orders, unless the officer ranks are swept away, they will have command.

Don Larson asked about the situation on the ship. Yes, its deck is clean, the guns are polished brightly, and the cables are neatly laid out. This is just an illusion.

The deputy captain Deco complained that he went to the warehouse to ask for supplies, or if there were none. He took a long list, but it turned out to be good. The director of the warehouse treated him like a thief, and the yin and yang said strangely that there are thieves everywhere. , Taking advantage of the dark night to climb over the wall to steal things, the supervisor felt that some of them were sent by the captains, whether they were sent by the captains or not, next time he caught them on which dog day he caught them, he would hang them on Don't be on the cross, tell them to take care of their dog's paws.

When Don Larson heard it, he knew it well. It was obvious that the warehouse supervisor was selling the warehouse supplies and couldn't deal with it, so he argued that he didn't.

But it wasn't Don Larson's control. The warehouse supervisor who dared to do this must have someone on the top and share the fat with them.

"Yeah, there is no doctor on the ship, which is really terrible!" Chief Secretary Harvey said bad news.

It's really terrible!

Without a doctor on board, the life of a person in the boat was cut in half, and morale was at least reduced by half. You must know that the cabin is narrow and easy to get sick. If there is no doctor to see a doctor, even a small illness of cold and fever will kill you!

The sailor who suspected that he was ill was quite restless, hoping to be treated. For ordinary people, if there was no doctor sailing with the ship, everyone would have no idea.

The "São Paulo" originally had a doctor, but it was transferred away two days ago, and the customs did not make up for them with a new one, so they were allowed to sail!

Don Larson's face became serious, and he said helplessly: "Maybe we should buy some Chinese medicine!"

This year, bloodletting treatment is popular in Europe. Arabs rely on mummies, and Asan relies on gods. Only Chinese medicine is more reliable. Don Larson is of noble origin and knows the benefits of Chinese medicine.

He arranged for the chief secretary to hurry up and buy some Chinese medicines. It is not expensive. There was a time when Chinese medicines were embargoed overseas, but after the war ended, the ban was lifted and they were limited to medicines commonly used at home, similar to medicines used in the medicine and burn medicine. It is strictly forbidden to export.

Harvey mentioned the good news that the carpenter on board is in place.

This made Don Larson happy, knowing that a sailboat is essentially a pile of wood, and who will repair the wood, or the carpenter.

Although the carpenter is a craftsman, his status in the navy is not low and he enjoys the treatment of an officer.

There are also blacksmiths on the big ship, who are in charge of the furnace on the ship, can repair guns, and enjoy the treatment of an officer.

As for the shortage?

Although Don Larson is young ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he is a veteran at sea. He taught everyone: "A good sailor never asks for anything from the warehouse, but makes full use of his own things. He kept the reserves given by the king, and never littered any small things. He used the waste oil from his ship as a paint keel. He used the fibers of the waste rope to thickly wrap the rope so that it passed through the anchor chain hole or It won’t wear out anywhere else!"

"We must take care of our boats as we take care of our own eyes, and never let all unnecessary, vulgar, flashy and inferior things on board, and be frugal!" Don Larson gave one. For example, that is Grote, a commander of the Atlantic Fleet of the Kingdom of Spain. He is the most frugal commander in the fleet. Some people can break the midmast two or three times a year, and he has never happened once.

Don Larson took the order submitted by Deco, used a pencil imported from China to mark out unnecessary materials on it, and then added some material substitutes, which can be replenished without going through the warehouse, so that the needed materials can be replenished. Give it a go.

Don Larson sighed slightly. He knew very well the tricks in the army. When the head of the warehouse wanted to make money, Deco would also take care of him. The whole navy was like this, he could only do it.

A transport ship approached and delivered them ammunition and supplies. The crew picked up the cargo, pulled and moved, and a busy morning passed.

They had lunch: polenta, granola, some vegetable salad, and meat patties fried in butter. The officers’ patties were twice as large as those of the sailors, and the officers still had tea to drink, and that’s it.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sea was covered with golden light, the "São Paulo" set sail, no one saw them off, and the crew just regarded it as a common voyage.
