Charles now needs to recruit a chief engineer, a second engineer, a second mate, a sailor, and a boatswain.
Charles was not in a hurry. He couldn't go anywhere anyway, so he could take his time to choose.
When the recruitment news was released, all the exploration crew members on Hope Island were excited.
The hall of the Explorers' Association was bustling with activity, as everyone was discussing this matter. Nothing could be closer to success than following a governor who had successfully explored a living island. Since he could find the first one, he could certainly find the second one.
To Charles' surprise, the first person to come in was a familiar guy.
"Governor, let me go. There is nothing more interesting than exploring unknown islands." Feuerbach with green hair said while standing in front of Charles.
"You?" Charles looked him up and down. "Aren't you assisting Bandage in managing the navy? Why did you come on my ship?"
"To be honest, the navy is very boring. There is no war now. Although we are building more and more ships, the best we can do is patrol around Hope Island. This place is too remote and even pirates don't come. I think it's more interesting to follow your ship and explore unknown islands."
"Have you had enough of the good life on the island? Do you really have to follow me to risk your life?"
Feuerbach smiled awkwardly. "I am so lucky. I just found a living island during my second mission. This is totally different from what I imagined before. I think my sea adventure should be more exciting."
Charles looked at the guy in front of him speechlessly. He wondered what the exploration crew members who were still struggling to find a living island would think if they heard this.
"What can you do?"
"I can do a lot of things. My little water gadgets are very strong in combat. And I used to be the captain of an exploration ship. It will be no problem for me to be the second mate on a ship."
Looking at his excited expression, Charles thought for a moment and said to him, "Let me think about it again."
"Okay, Captain Feuerbach of the Wave Razor is on standby at any time." After saying this, Feuerbach turned and left.
Charles leaned back in his chair and thought for a while, then asked Lily beside him, "Has he done anything unusual in the past three years?"
"No, Green Head doesn't have any abnormalities except that he likes to run to the sea and play with his sharks. Besides, this guy likes to brag in the bar. He brags a lot."
"Has he settled down on the island?"
"Well, he has a son, his hair is also green, and his son likes to have a runny nose, so dirty."
After careful consideration, Charles finally decided to involve Feuerbach.
Although we still don't know what this guy's purpose is, three years have passed, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, he has a family now, and having a family means having concerns.
Charles originally thought that the recruiters would come slowly, but to his surprise, many more people came than he imagined, and a long queue began to form in front of the Governor's Palace.
Since everyone was here, Charles couldn't let them go back, so he simply started recruiting crew members in the Governor's Palace.
He cannot delegate this matter to others. As the captain, he must oversee it personally.
The person who just came in was a woman with a hot body. Seeing her seductive eyes, Charles waved his hand and asked her to leave.
There is a reason why there are no women on most ships. When such a woman appears on the ship, there is a high probability that she will intensify the crew's groundless hatred. This is undoubtedly a major hidden danger on a closed ship. As a captain, he must take this into consideration.
The woman's voice was soft and sweet, and it was very pleasant to the ears. "Governor, my skills are very strong. I can greatly relax everyone's spirit."
"roll!"
The recruitment continued, and one exploration ship after another passed by Charles, but they left disappointed again and again.
Charles didn't find a suitable one among so many people. Among them, there were some guys with strong abilities, but he also rejected them because of their character flaws.
Three hours passed unknowingly. Lily next to me had already climbed into the drawer to sleep. Except for the second mate, none of the other crew members were found.
Another young man came in.
"What are you applying for?"
"Governor... Governor! I'm here to apply for the position of sailor. I have extensive experience at sea and I can change the ropes very quickly. I can also clean the deck very cleanly." The young man stammered.
"Governor, my name is West." West, who was extremely nervous, raised his head for the first time.
When he looked at the famous Governor of Hope Island in front of him, he was stunned. Why did this Governor in front of him look a bit like the madman at his door
"Take off your shoes."
"Wha...what?" West almost didn't react.
"Tell you to take off your shoes."
"Oh oh oh oh."
West took off his shoes in a panic.
Charles took one look at his feet and immediately knew that this guy was not an old sailor.
He used to be a sailor, and because they had to wash the deck frequently, old sailors generally didn't like to wear shoes on deck because their feet couldn't be so delicate.
"You can go now, next one."
When West heard Charles say this, he became anxious. "Governor, please let me get on your ship. I have a brother and sister at home. I really need this job. Don't worry, as long as I get on the ship, I will be willing to die even if you ask me to."
Everyone said this was an opportunity and he didn't want to give it up.
Charles didn't even bother to look at him, he just waved his hand, and the soldier with a gun next to him rushed up, grabbed West and dragged him towards the door.
Just when West was about to despair, he suddenly heard the Governor shout "Stop".
Charles walked up to him and looked at his face with some confusion. "Have we met before?"
Facing Charles' aggressive gaze, West subconsciously looked away. "No, Governor, a big shot like you can't possibly know a small character like me."
Charles thought about it and nodded. "It's you."
West's face showed ecstasy, he had just come here to try his luck, but he actually succeeded!
"I won't be sailing in the near future. You should learn everything you need to learn during this period. I need a qualified sailor, not a half-baked one."
"Yes, Governor General! I will definitely try my best!!"
After West, whose face was flushed with excitement, left, the butler next to him came over and said, "Governor, compared with the previous few recruits of sailors, he does not have any advantage."
"Indeed, but I feel he looks familiar. Besides, he has one good thing, which is that whatever he thinks in his mind is directly written on his face. I only need an ordinary sailor."
Charles returned to his seat and continued to select crew members.
Listening to the footsteps, Charles asked casually, "What are you applying for?"
"Hehehe, I'm here to apply for the position of captain~hehehe~"
The guard on the side was about to rush over and take this unreasonable guy away, but was stopped by Charles.
He knew this man, Tuba of Sodom, the crazy old man.
