People in the heavens are as rich as the enemies of the country
Chapter 19 Promotion Ceremony
"Mr. Tang!"
"Hello Mr. Anderson."
"Mr. Tang! Good day!"
"Thank you, Mr. Bergman."
When Tang Sen stepped into the Royal Navy Fortress, the patrolling navy soldiers saluted him one after another.
With a smile on his face, Tang Sen could always call their names accurately and respond appropriately, which made the smiles and respect on the faces of the soldiers even greater.
When they arrived at the courtyard of the castle, the ceremony was about to begin. The soldiers were lined up neatly, and the dignitaries of Port Royal, dressed in luxurious clothes, were surrounding them.
"Mr. Tang, I am about to send someone to find you." Governor Swan came over directly and said, "Please come to me. Everyone has been curious about you for a long time."
During the past few days in Port Royal, it was not that no one invited Tang Sen to attend the so-called upper class dances, but Tang Sen refused them all——
Interacting with these powerful people may seem like a good thing in the long run, but for my current situation, it has no meaning and is a waste of time.
"It seems I'm not late, right?" Tang Sen smiled and walked into the venue calmly facing everyone's curious eyes, standing between Governor Swan and Miss Swan.
Miss Swan's face didn't look good, she just forced a smile in front of others. This was probably not only because of the theft last night, but also because of the dress from London that outlined her waist.
"You don't look well, Miss Swan." Tang Sen raised the topic.
"Don't worry, I'm just a little annoyed by the heat." Miss Swan said: "Mr. Tang, is the game at the dock over? Did Will successfully win the money?"
"The game is still going on. I just took the time to come here." Townsend smiled and said: "Maybe Miss Swan can come with me to visit Mr. Turner later. I believe that with your encouragement, Mr. Turner will be even better." Seize wins the game.”
"I will." Miss Swan hesitated and whispered: "Mr. Tang, you said before that you know a man with the same name as Will who is a pirate. Is that true?"
"Is Miss Swan also interested in pirates?"
"No, no." Miss Swan bit her lip: "I just have some bad associations about Will, last time -"
"Elizabeth!" Before Miss Swan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Governor Swan, who had been standing aside. He said dissatisfiedly: "Please pay attention to the occasion. Today is Colonel Norrington's big day. I want to be a blacksmith." Apprentice trivia is not worth talking about here."
"Attention, Colonel Norrington. No, you can call him Brigadier now. He is about to enter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of military drums and pipe music sounded, and the honor guard walked into the courtyard along the arch, followed by neatly dressed navy soldiers holding long guns. They lined up in two rows and faced each other under the orders of the officers. Let the flintlock in your hand create a tunnel of bayonets and barrels.
Brigadier General Norrington, wearing a black general's uniform, strolled through the tunnel. Governor Swan was already waiting at the end, handing over the gold-encrusted rapier.
Brigadier General Norrington looked serious, took out the sword from its sheath, and waved it neatly and gracefully according to etiquette.
The ceremony was quite complicated. The nobles standing under the sun were sweating. The wind brought by the small fans in their hands was not enough to keep people cool. However, no one said anything at this time until the promotion document came from Governor Swann. After handing it to Brigadier General Norrington, the military band came over holding the violin, and the ceremony came to the part that everyone loved to see.
The navy hosts in blue dresses entered the patio with their heads held high and holding trays filled with drinks and food with one hand.
"finally--"
Townsend heard Miss Swan next to her let out a sigh of relief.
"This kind of occasion is boring, isn't it?" Tang Sen whispered.
"I thought people like Mr. Tang would be very accustomed to such occasions." Miss Swan also whispered: "Get ready, I think you will have to deal with a lot of people today."
With that said, several people were already walking towards Tang Sen carrying wine glasses.
Miss Swan took the opportunity to slip away into the shade.
"Mr. Tang, please allow me to introduce myself, I am——"
"Sorry." Tang Sen directly interrupted the visitor: "I think I have something else to talk to Brigadier General Norrington about. Please excuse me."
Ignoring the frozen expression on the other side's face, Tang Sen walked directly towards Brigadier General Norrington.
Time is precious, and Tang Sen doesn't want to care about the feelings of these people.
"Mr. Tang?" Brigadier General Norrington looked at Tang Sen condescendingly, "Our first meeting came a little late."
At this time, he was in high spirits and did not waste too much time on Tang Sen. He just said bluntly: "I hope you are ready to go to sea. I will go on a cruise on time in the afternoon. If you miss it, even if it is Governor Swan pleads for mercy, but I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.”
"Of course, Brigadier General." Townsend did not show any abnormality because of Brigadier General Norrington's condescension. He just said: "I think I have made all the preparations."
"It's just that, to ensure safety, I may have too many ships and sailors. I hope the Commodore doesn't mind."
Norrington snorted: "Orientals, I don't care."
"I know that your purpose of currying favor with Governor Swann is to have the Royal Navy escort you, but I have to warn you that the Royal Navy will always be loyal to the English royal family. This trip is just a normal cruise for me, not cooperation."
"I allow you to follow my ship. This is reasonable and legal. However, don't try to make any small moves in front of my eyes. I will see all your despicable thoughts."
"The Brigadier seems to have a lot of objections to me." Tang Sen asked calmly.
"For a person like you to be able to stand here and talk to me is the greatest tolerance I have for you."
Brigadier General Norrington turned around neatly: "This conversation is over."
"Goodbye, Brigadier."
Tang Sen looked at the other party's back and smiled.
This young officer was as tough and proactive as he had expected.
"Mr. Tangtang, please don't mind what the Commodore said. He often does this." A hesitant voice came from the side. Tang Sen turned his head and saw an unfamiliar naval soldier.
"Thank you for your comfort, sir." Tang Sen smiled and said, "It seems we haven't met before?"
"Yes, Mr. Tang!" Seeing Tang Sen's response, the soldier said excitedly: "I have always heard of Mr. Tang's name. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to take a break for five days in a row, and I couldn't even meet Mr. Tang in person. .”
"What's your name, sir?"
"Roger, Roger Newgate, I am the chartman of the Intrepid."
"." Tang Sen was stunned for a moment. The ingredients of this name are a bit complicated.
"You have a good name, Mr. Newgate, and it looks like I'll be seeing you on this cruise."
"Of course, Mr. Tang!" Roger waved his arms: "I'm looking forward to it."
"Me too." Townsend held his wrist and placed a row of gold coins in his palm: "Pleasant chat, Mr. Newgate."
"Don't get me wrong, these are to thank you for your comfort."
