Above the Pirate King

Chapter 5 Steam Battleship

Arthur divided the saints into twelve squads, each with one gold saint, two silvers, and four bronzes.

Arudiba is a big purple-haired man, three meters tall, muscular, with a simple and honest smile, but his face is a bit old, he is only seventeen years old, but he looks like thirty years old.

Not from St. Martin's own country, but when the merchant ships of the Kingdom of St. Maarten were trading outside, he sneaked onto the ship, and finally came to St. Martin, and was adopted by Arthur after that!

Hearing Arthur's order, he smiled honestly and nodded.

Leilis is the thousand-man leader of the original escort regiment. He is in his thirties and has the strength of a lieutenant colonel. He has a thousand subordinates. He used to be mainly responsible for the kingdom's sea and escort missions. He has accurate marksmanship and likes to shoot.

Now he is the head of the [-]rd Regiment of the [-]rd Division of the Army's [-]st Army!

Arthur borrowed from the army establishment of his previous life to rearrange the original army.

The ranks are divided into squad, platoon, company, battalion, regiment, division, and army.

Among them, a squad has ten people, a platoon has thirty people, a company has a hundred people, a battalion has three hundred and fifty people, a regiment has [-] people, a division has [-] people, and an army has [-] people. About three thousand people.

It is a ternary system, and three classes are a row, which are deduced in turn.

The reason for the difference is that from the beginning of the company, there are special scouts, from the beginning of the battalion there are more artillery platoons, and from the beginning of the regiment there are more logistics troops, so there is a difference.

But because the total strength of the kingdom is only [-], the establishment of the three divisions is not complete.

"Da da!"

After hearing Arthur's order, Leilis took his subordinates, trotted a few steps, stopped in front of Arthur, and then saluted!

A normal regiment has about [-] people, but Leslie's regiment is basically composed of former escorts and crew members, with a total of more than [-] people.

Arthur's original plan was to establish a navy in the future and make them an official navy. Now they are only temporarily organized in the army. When the navy is established later, they will be the foundation.

"Okay, besides me, Bruce, you take other people in to clean up Harbor Town, and Shion, take the saints back to the palace first!" Arthur ordered.

"Yo Ho Ho... I will obey your orders, Your Majesty!" Bruce leaned forward, smiled and gave a noble salute.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Aries Gold Saint Shi Ang said expressionlessly.

Shi Ang is a handsome green-haired boy with a calm and fair personality. All the saints respect him, and he is the default leader of the saints.

After a while, everyone else left.

Arthur looked at the people in front of him and shouted: "All of them, run along the harbor and river to the shipyard!"

The harbor channel is a channel extending from the harbor terminal to the shipyard, and it is an artificial channel.

It is mainly used to transport the ships made by the shipyard to the dock.

Why not craft it directly in the dock?

The reason is very simple. The dock in Haigang Town is not big, and there are usually some merchant ships parked there and the armed merchant ships of the Kingdom are already full. Once the shipyard is put on the dock, where will the ships be built?

Moreover, most of the time the ocean currents are turbulent, and there is only one month to test the boat every year, so it doesn't matter where you put it, and it can't be sailed normally anyway.

Soon, everyone came to a shipyard.

As soon as I arrived at the shipyard, I saw a puff of black smoke floating up from the shipyard from a distance.

The shipyard is guarded by a security team of one hundred men.

As soon as Arthur arrived, the security team saluted.

"Your Majesty the King!"

Arthur waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, and led the people in.

"See His Majesty the King!"

As soon as they entered the shipyard, the busy crowd in the shipyard immediately stopped.

"You don't need to be too polite, get up and do your work!" Arthur said.

In the shipyard, the first thing that appeared in front of Arthur was a huge monster.

It is about [-] meters long and [-] meters wide. There are [-] cannon ports in total. There is also a big chimney on the ship, and the black smoke above the shipyard is released by it. Yes, this is a steam ship battleship.

To be precise, it is a half-steam and half-sail warship. In addition to steam power, it also has sails as auxiliary power.

In the world of One Piece, technology is very strange. Obviously there are sea trains, robots, and other advanced technologies, and even Coke can be used as an energy source, but most of the navy and pirates are sailing ships.

So under the command of Arthur, the shipyard began to study steamships. In this world, rubber and steel already exist, so it is not difficult to study steamships.

There are more than [-] muzzles. In One Piece, it is not comparable to the creation of black technology, but it is also second to none.

Think about the Golden Meili, which has only one muzzle. Even if it is a navy, an ordinary warship only has a little more than one-third of the muzzle of this steam warship, and there are only more than [-] muzzles.

Although in anime, artillery is mostly a foil and does not hurt people at all, but in reality, powerful firepower can often determine everything.

And there are many strong people in this world who are not afraid of artillery, but there are more ordinary people. Warships are used to deal with those who are afraid of artillery.

"David, how's it going?" Arthur walked to the side of the boat and asked an old man with glasses.

David is the main person in charge of the shipyard and an excellent shipbuilder

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Kingdom Conqueror is completely ready, and it's just short of sea trials!" David pushed his glasses and said.

Arthur shook his head and said, "It's too late, since it's ready, let's go directly to the sea trial!"
