Chapter 113 (2/2)
Due to these reasons, the naval warfare in this world is basically still undeveloped Relying on Ballista and on board personnel to fight, the ainst the enemy vessels Once the enee in a melee brawl to overtake the enemy
In such a case, the shi+p’s capacity to carry hters becah pirates exist in the eastern coast of the Roland Continent, but most of the shi+ps fell into the medium and small bracket More often than not, pirates are incapable of facing off against the regular naval fleets, and even soer size armed merchant shi+ps can fend for the class shi+p is extre the doubt in Du Wei’s eyes, Captain Jack quickly explained: “The shi+p seems to have many years on it already, and the hull is quite old and needsThe batch of captives we captured on the east belonged to a larger group of pirates Froed to the imperial navy, but once it was retired, a wealthyvessel But as fate would have it, the shi+p was later snatched up by pirates”
Hearing the explanation, Du Wei finally nods If pirates can so easily get their hands on a Sea King class shi+p, then what good is the imperial Navy?!
“Within the 32 shi+ps, there is one Sea King class and six Sea Salt class As for the rest of the fleet, they are all sory capable of only carrying a hundred sailors Looking at it this way, the fleet right now is comparable to a second tier naval force of the eh it lacked shi+ps of the larger size, but they couldJack’s words, Du Wei didn’t say uy is after all fro
Co
Du Wei’s oldon the ained froet where he is today Like the last expedition, the fleet Earl Rayht with him only had 35 shi+ps, but 5 of the class!
The amount of shi+ps under Du Wei may be a lot, but if he really had to coh
Luckily for Du Wei, he didn’t have any sort of aitating the imperial navy and focuses his attention only on maritime trade, his fleet would be a force to be reckoned with
After saying all of this, Jack’s face looked sos have developed so far is beyond e expected As such, there are certain problems we are unable to solve At the moment, the entire fleet is docked at the ‘Fertile Haven Port’ located in the southern Lille province Miss Rolynn is staying behind to keep matters in check and has sent me back here to you…”
“Speak directly; tell ?” Du Wei frowned as he said this
“Money” Jack lets out a sigh: “We originally intended to incorporate the stolen loots and wealth amassed by the pirates This e can maintain the expenses of the fleet, but the proble up to here, Jack could not help but sigh: “The proble the frown on Du Wei’s face, Jack quickly explained: “The Eth has always been powerful, and in the past decade, the eanized nuh these efforts are a complete waste of resource and without any real obvious benefits, it did in fact expand the e activity Seeing the opportunity, numerous pirate crews started to appear But in the past, these criminals have never caused any th of the imperial navy If by the odd chance they caused too much commotion, they will incur the wrath of the navy and face annihilation More ireatly reduced in recent years and has concentrated their efforts in the southern waters For this reason, the pirates in the eastern coast were already having a difficult tiain any wealth”
Looking at the serious faced Captain Jack and the way he spouted out all these big points, Du Wei could not help but sure it out?”
Jack shook his head and honestly answered: “No, I never went to school, so where would I coht Rolynn told y chick has a good mind
Jack continues to speak: “Three ained us mostly materials that isn’t worth much like food and rusted iron So even if we did sell thes that are worth a bit, a portion of it has already been sold in the ‘Fertile Haven Port’ the moment we landed Also, a certain amount of relationshi+p was needed with the port naval officers because it was inevitable that ould be criticized by suddenly taking in so many new ment, we spent a certain amount of money to bribe the officials and remove the bounty on soold we old coins After repairs and ained, especially on the Sea King class vessel – let’s not forget the daily food and drinking expense – we could barely balance the expense with the inco nu all of this, Du Wei waved his hand: “Speak directly, howthis, Jack iiven to hian reciting the content: “Aed to a certain degree Given the current financial probleed shi+ps and esti up with this estimate, it was already based on the fact that we used your nah the other shi+ps still need to be repaired, we can te them Once the financial situation loosens up in the future, we can then decide which to repair And the daily expenditure for 400 sailors over three old This nual If Miss Rolynn dares to reduce the personal expenditures anymore, she feared that the ne members would defect and leave On a side note, Miss Rolynn said that since theunder your name; all of them need to be outfitted with a new uniform because it would be an es As such, everya slightly better quality…… This cost us another 200 gold But most importantly, the weapons in everyone’s hand are too poor in quality They were all pirates in the past, so once they swaro into a random brawl Such an act is just too sha fleet, every Ballista, crossbow, and blade needs to be replaced I have already checked, some of the former pirates were so poor that they don’t even have a weapon In the past when they encountered a target, they would grab whatever tool they could find like a haer be used… In addition to the expenses of building a relationshi+p with the port officials, the costs of re us nearly a thousand gold coins”
