Chapter 55 Smuggling Ship

On the surface, “Lighthouse Island” is just an unremarkable overseas island with neither resources nor scenery.

But it is actually the place where the great nautical movement of the Phaletis Kingdom started, and it is also the first non-offshore island discovered by the government, which has extraordinary significance in the entire history of navigation.

The annual “Sailing Day” commemorative event also signifies the kingdom’s spirit of exploration and never forgetting its original aspirations.

In the annual celebration, in addition to the participating people, Chamber of Commerce, explorers and various civil organizations, the three major fleets of the Kingdom will routinely send representatives to participate.

This year, the Third Fleet dispatched a Level 4 battleship “Warm” and a Level 5 cruiser “Silver Wing” headed by Vice Admiral Snett, which is enough to show its importance.

It is worth mentioning that although the chief logistics officer of the fleet is already the top three absolute high-ranking officers, the Third Fleet is far from being rich and imposing enough to send the main battleships above Level 3 to participate in the celebration.

In the era of great sailing, each battleship has its own important responsibilities.

Besides, the east of Lighthouse Island belongs to the offshore area, and the safety can be guaranteed. Even the two battleships were temporarily captured by strong men. This style is also in line with the pragmatic spirit of common origins of the logistics officer. .

Alwin measured the strength of the pirates he had encountered and his current strength.

“Well, the mission should be stable this time. Besides, other than a lunatic with a special purpose like One-Eyed Becky, who can attack a warship with an unfathomable mystery? There is a chance that the skull will collapse.”

Alwin has just started the trip, but Alwin has already set the flag unconsciously!

Unbeknownst to him, three ships wandering far away on the new continent route The black sail pirate ship quietly turned its course and sailed collectively to the east coast of the Black Sea.

With the help of the sea breeze, the black sails bulged, and the large mouths of the crack-toothed sharks painted on them seemed to come alive.

“Boom warning! Stop them.”

Boom—

Boom—

The shells splashed near the side of the ship A huge splash of water slowly forced a fast merchant ship to stop, ignoring the warship’s stop signal.

From fat merchants in silk robes, merchant ship captains to ordinary sailors and slaves, they all ran to the deck to line up for inspection. Faced with two navy warships armed to the teeth, no one dared. There are thoughts of resistance.

Ta Ta Ta

Soldiers lined up and ran on the deck, the neat and loud footsteps of military boots quickly took control of everyone in just a few minutes.

It is now the fifth day of the departure of the two warships participating in the celebration. On the way, Calm and tranquility, but under General Snett’s “Golden Fire Eyes”, they found a clipper that is suspected to be a smuggling ship. .

The voyage at sea was too boring, and the quiet and thoughtful general found the fun, and the above scene naturally happened.

“Your Excellency, we are serious businessmen!”

While wiping the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, the fat businessman tried to put a beautiful The gold pocket watch was stuffed into the hands of the major officer who led the team to check on the ship.

“A serious businessman? What were you running for just now?” Lieutenant General Snett watched from the warship behind him. He was crazy to open the back door to this profiteer.

“I just didn’t see it, yes, we didn’t see the signal!” The sweat on the businessman’s face became faster, and the officer’s refusal to bribe made him feel that the situation was not good.

After a while, the army soldier who went down to the cabin to check came back.

“Report sir! The upper deck in the cargo hold is filled with ordinary wine in oak barrels, but there is only a few decks. The lower deck is full of high-level whale oil.”

hearing this, the major officer laughed, patted the fat businessman on the shoulder and said: “Mr. serious businessman, can you explain why your actual goods are inconsistent with the tax payment documents issued?”

Bai’s fat businessman was slapped by the officer and collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears.

“All my wealth, wu wu wu”

The law of the kingdom stipulates that smuggling ships that have not paid taxes are not protected by the navy, and all goods are confiscated once they are seized.

If he didn’t happen to be inspected by the warship and successfully sold the smuggled goods, then with the difference between the value of whale oil and ordinary alcohol, after all the necessary expenses, his worth could at least turn over four or five. times.

Greed creates a fluke, but the fat businessman’s mentality collapses instantly when his dream of getting rich is shattered.

Everyone knew that he was not regretting the smuggling, but only regretting his bad luck and all his fortune that was about to be gone. If he can go back to the past, he will definitely make the same choice, but he will not take this route again

The news was quickly transmitted back to the “Nuanfeng” warship where the general was.

Standing on the main deck, beside the middle-aged officer wearing the general’s cloak, a youngster who looked a bit like the general but was wearing a captain’s uniform immediately jumped up: “hahaha, I knew this was a smuggling ship. Ship.”

Obviously, it was not the General of the Golden Fire Eyes that everyone imagined that it was a smuggling ship, but the youngster beside him.

“Wow! Big brother is great!” A girl wearing a Gothic-style loli skirt also cheered, apparently they were family members who accompanied His Excellency the General to the celebration.

A group of adjutants and officers on the Nuanfeng formed a circle around them, and they all praised: “It really is a tiger father will not beget a dog son!”

What a coincidence Unfortunately, on the other side of the Silver Wing, which was running side by side, he seized the vantage point of the observatory, Alwin, who was watching the excitement, and immediately noticed the youngster who could be called all the stars cup themselves around the moon.

“Wow—!”

“Zuo Mister Luo is really a ‘great character’!”

Although the whole process is in addition to the normal semaphore communication, The members of both ships did not interact much.

But when he saw this youngster today, Alwin recognized him at first sight. It was the thief and fortune teller Mr. “Zorro” who had dealt with him several times.

You don’t need to guess to know that the unfortunate smuggling ship broke down and sank not because of the so-called “eyesight” and “experience”, but because of “Zorro” other Divination Techniques exceeding the Ordinary Level.

To be honest, at the beginning, after Alwin recognized “Zorro”, he sighed that his true identity was higher than he imagined, but he didn’t think much about it.

Because although they walked all the way, the two of them did not have any intersection. After this mission, as two people, they couldn’t even fight.

Alwin was soon shivered though.

Wait! !

Alwin suddenly remembered the words “Zorro” left after the fight that night:

“I remember you! I’ll give you something, I’ll ask you for advice next time.”

p>

I didn’t pretend that night at all, this guy knew me!

However, after thinking about it, Alwin repeatedly confirmed that there should be no irreconcilable conflict between himself and this guy. Although he robbed him of a witchcraft notebook, he also took care of his divination business!
