1717 New American Empire

The sun was shining and the weather was perfect. Today was a good day for sailing. Ijik, who had just gotten up from the Commodore's Quarters at the Storm Harbor Naval Camp, opened the window to look at the situation outside, stretched, and then tidied up very quickly.

After getting off the bed, he picked up the toiletries and entered the private bathroom next to him to start washing up. Even if the company's army does not pay attention to class distinction, the superior officers are not allowed to ignore the luxury enjoyment of their subordinates, but this advantage is still there.

After staying in the military academy for half a year, all of Ijik's faults were voluntarily corrected. Now, he is no different from a qualified Chinese soldier in the 21st century, capable, direct, and adhering to military discipline. After washing up in two minutes, Ijik put on his clothes.

Put on your own pure white brigadier general uniform

.The navy uniform of Yanhuang Trading Company is a complete pirated version of the Chinese navy in the 21st century. A white suit-style military uniform, a few medals, a pair of epaulettes, and a hat. After putting it on, you will look like a standard, heroic and handsome commodore.

This is how it appeared.

Love comes from the heart, and it is best reflected in Ijik. He used to be a violent slave trader, and he was not a good person at first glance. In just a few years, he actually turned into a handsome soldier. He was originally a bit violent.

It also transformed into the majesty of a soldier

After getting dressed and sorting out the details, Ijik left the naval building ten minutes later and walked to the cafeteria. Along the way, there were navy soldiers wearing white uniforms. Some of them were newly recruited good citizens, and the others were

His former subordinates.

One by one the soldiers saluted him, and Ijik returned the salute and his hands were almost sore. However, he was still willing to do so. This is a kind of respect. He is now the largest officer in the navy. When he came to the navy canteen, he directly brought a dish including

Steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks and

Breakfast including eggs. Military food is free. You can eat as much as you want, but no waste is allowed. Although breakfast is simple, it is very in line with Ijik's taste. Eat three times, five times and two times to make breakfast, and burp.

Walk towards Navy Square.

Today is a big day for the navy of Yanhuang Trading Company. The navy is officially established today, and Xiao Lin will personally come to present the flag. At the same time, ten O37 submarine hunting ships and ten O24 missile speedboats will be officially delivered to the navy for use. The matching is in progress

A battleship, four cruisers and ten frigates that were modified and prepared to be converted into sailing ships to form the company's first ocean combat fleet. It is responsible for combating enemy naval forces and the most rampant pirates of this era, and maintaining the company's territorial waters and coastal territories.

of stability.

As the current leader of the navy, Ijik must arrive early. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, there were already many navy soldiers waiting here in the square. It was obvious at a glance that they were all eager young boys.

I couldn't bear the excitement in my heart, so I got up early and came early. Ijik looked at it and walked directly to his seat. He sat in the front row of everyone and waited for the flag-presenting ceremony to begin. Originally, he could enter the central control room to watch

Look at how they control the broadcasting equipment, but don't bother them today.

Ten minutes before the flag-giving ceremony started, Xiao Lin finally entered the naval base with Yu Xiao and Qu Jun in the 6th armored "Owlbeast". The ship had already been sent directly to the base, and there was no need for Xiao Lin to follow.

If it weren't for the grand event, Xiao Lin, who would be so busy, would probably have asked Yu Xiao and Qu Jun to come. Although both of them were equally exhausted, the younger brother wanted to share the worries of the older brother. However, in order to express his gratitude,

Despite the navy's attention, Xiao Lin came on his own.

When Ijik saw the three of them, he immediately stood up and walked forward to salute. For these three young people who single-handedly founded the behemoth Yanhuang Trading Company, even though Ijik was much older, he could not suppress the admiration in his heart. Xiao Lin and the other three

He returned the gift and was there

He sat down next to him. Xiao Lin and Yijik said a few words, comforted Yijik who was getting nervous, and waited for the ceremony to begin. There was no need for any announcements. When the time came, Yu Xiao arrived on the stage first.

Above, I talked about the finalized naval regulations.

Then, it's time for Xiao Lin to come on stage.

"Originally, I was very tired today, but when I arrived at the Storm Base, my tiredness almost left my body. Do you know why? Because I saw you, five thousand young naval warriors in their prime. Yanhuang Trade

The company is a very young force. Only 7 years have passed since its founding in 1717, but we are already a powerful force with a population of over 600,000 and a regular army of 45,000."

"Our Army has achieved fruitful results, defeating the stubborn tribal alliance and defeating France. Even the British can only tremble under their power. For you, I hope that you can also be like the Army.

Hone your skills in training and be invincible in battle. Let everyone know that Yanhuang Trading Company and the Army are tigers, and the Navy is also a dragon that storms over the sea. Tell me, do you have confidence?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Very good, very confident. I gave you the best ship and the most comfortable base. And I hope that in one year, you can give me an extremely stable maritime territory. I will always pay attention to it."

Your growth. Now, I announce that the Navy Flag Ceremony has officially begun. Please Commodore Ijik come to the stage to accept the Navy flag and officially determine the Navy number."

The exciting "People's Navy Marches Forward" (the military anthem of the Chinese navy in the 21st century) sounded. Ijik suppressed his excitement, stood up, and walked up from the other side of the rostrum in a very standard walking posture. He and Xiao Lin saluted each other,

In the military song "g

aochao", he took the naval flag from Xiao Lin's hand. The flags on the front are all blue, and in the center is a symbol of two swords pinned behind a shield. It represents the navy and is the company's strong shield on the sea.

The sword that kills the enemy.

Then, Xiao Lin gave the microphone to Ijik and asked him to speak to his subordinates. Fortunately, Ijik was not so excited that he spoke in time.

"Many people here know about my past. Yes, I used to be a slave trader that everyone hated. It was dark, bloody, and ugly. However, I was lucky enough to meet our leader, Marshal Xiao Lin.

Under his influence, I regained my former ideal, which was to become a navy. At first, I served in the British Navy. But there, I found that my dream had not been realized. "

"All fleets are firmly in the hands of nobles. If civilians don't have outstanding talents and don't take refuge with a noble, they won't get the chance to be promoted. And even if you have both, you won't become a navy.

For senior officials to be able to reach the middle level, the price they have to pay is beyond the imagination of any ambitious navy man. The nobles use ordinary navy soldiers as slaves. If they are not willing, they may die in the sea inexplicably.

"

"However, our Yanhuang Trading Company is definitely not like this. Regardless of our military rank, everyone is equal. Our superiors will no longer take away your credit, will no longer beat or scold you at will, nor will they threaten your life safety.

Everyone, as long as they work hard and pay

Thanks to your sweat, we can even reach my current height. The company has given us so many excellent conditions, we should work harder. Here, I issue a military order. One year later, we will be the only one left in North America.

Fleet, everyone, would you like to join me?"

"willing!!!"

The entire flag-presenting ceremony ended in a warm atmosphere. The main generals and outstanding naval officers all took photos with Xiao Lin. The photos have become everyone's lifelong treasures. Xiao Lin had lunch with the generals and felt relieved.

After saying a few words, he left in the car

The three of them had a lot to do and had to go back to the office to handle government affairs. And Ijik immediately took all the officers who graduated from the military academy with him and had thoroughly studied the information of O37 submarine hunter and O24 missile speedboat, and started driving

Attended a training course.

Learn theoretical knowledge first, then study in the field, and finally the practical test. The naval training process is three-step, and we strive to be operational with two types of 21st-century ironclads within half a year. Missile companies cannot manufacture them for a long time.

It won't be critical for a while

cannot be used at all times, the main thing is for them to understand the use and maintenance of radar, artillery and fire control systems. In this way, the training time is greatly shortened. They only need to teach the three required types first, and the latter ones will be used for boarding and practical operations.

Just teach the navy soldiers during their training.

In fact, Ijik and the others are only weak when it comes to missiles, and they will have to enter the military academy to continue training. At the Storm Base, they started training in full swing and renovating sailboats. The British also received a lot of valuable things. Ironclad ships, they did not

Yes, but they are aware of the improvement of the motor and sailboat. The news from the spies said that the modified frigate has an upwind speed and is no worse than their frigate's downwind speed.

The British were really shocked. If even the advantage of the final fleet was lost, no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to defeat the company. The main thing about ships is speed. Without speed, they can only be used as targets on the ocean. Now.

Speed, coupled with excellent artillery, can kill others flying kites without any harm. The British actually want to let their fleet storm the harbor and destroy the company's naval base and shipyard. However, they have missed the best opportunity

period.

After several months of construction, there are already many coastal defense artillery bases in Storm Harbor. The heavy punch three-type developed by Zhao Menghai was activated, expanded to 25mm caliber, converted into coastal defense artillery, and set up on the reinforced concrete base.

Inside the fortress.
