33 Chapter 33: Operating the Patrol Boat and the Gun (1/2)
Driving the patrol boat, Razlov went east 5 kilometers away from the island in the direction of Sanloris. As the patrol boat travels, Razlov drove the patrol boat into many different directions and sometimes he would go into circles.
While the other people on board, after the initial shock they experience they are now excited that they keep roaming every part of the boat, trying to see how this thing moves on its own.
Razlov drove the patrol boat for about an hour then he called to the people on board.
”Alright, now that you've seen its capabilities it is now time for me to teach you how to operate it since from now onwards we will be using this patrol boat as our means of travel from the island to other destinations.”
Hearing what their Commander had said that he will be teaching them how to operate it, they were all excited and couldn't wait to drive the patrol; especially the two helpers since they are the ones who would use the patrol boat often. The two helpers finally understood why their Commander brought the two of them even though they are not mercenary and only utility personnel.
Razlov taught each and every one of them on how to operate the patrol boat. Actually, driving the patrol boat is easy as pie, the real difficult part is on how to navigate the boat in the middle of the sea since there is no indicator '--> 20km away from Sanloris' like that in the middle of the sea that would point out direction and distance. Good thing though that there is a compass that is installed on the patrol boat and that he taught those cadets back then on how to use the compass making it easy for him to teach them on how to navigate the sea. But that's only in the surrounding seas since they have a shorter distance but if it's in the open waters like oceans, navigating through compass is already impossible. In open waters, you would need to use a compass for direction while through reading the longitude and latitude you would be able to know the coordinates and distance of a place for you to travel. That's why if the situation of this world is like that of his previous life, Razlov would need to hire astrologers and give them knowledge from his previous life through books and equipment to measure and set the longitude and latitude of this world.
But right now, he doesn't need to mind it instead what he should do right now is focus on making his Private force stronger and earn a large sum of money to buy all the necessary equipment they needed and teach them how to operate the patrol boat right at this moment.
For two hours, he had been teaching each and every one them on how to operate the patrol boat, giving them 10 minutes of driving the patrol boat per person as Razlov taught them how. When all of them have already finished their turn, Razlov drives the patrol boat back to the island and when they return it was exactly the time for lunch.
”Now that all of knows how to operate it. This afternoon I will be teaching all of you on how to use or operate its weaponry. But right now, we first need to eat cause it's already time for lunch”
”Now let's go back to the camp”
And so, they all went back to the camp and eat their meals.
When it was already in the afternoon they have already gathered at the Harbor. But before they gathered, on their way to the harbor Razlov have ordered some people to put the fishing boat that they have previously been using on the sea and let is sail adrift cause it will be their target during their target practice using the weaponry of the boat.
Arriving at a distance of 500 meters away from the drifting boat, he slowed the boat and let one of the helpers drive it then he went down and head to the front where the 40mm anti-air and surface gun is emplaced.
”This patrol boat's main gun is this single sit and single barrel 40mm gun or machine gun; call it whatever you want. This gun can be used as an anti-air gun to shoot down any monster or enemy that is flying up in the air and it could also be used as a surface gun when facing enemy ships, boat, or even fortresses. But different targets need different ammunition, for example, enemies that are flying up in the air what you need is time detonation shell rounds but we will not be discussing about right now cause we will not likely use it at the moment and we don't have that type of ammunition but maybe in the future we will.”
