After communicating with Johnny Joseph, Ian already had some plans in his mind about how to go to the great route.
Before leaving, though, Ian still has a few things to do.
Two days later, on the playground of the Naval Base in Rogge Town, more than 300 naval soldiers lined up in two rows, and when Ian appeared, they all raised their hands in salute.
Ian walked among these saluting naval soldiers, feeling a little sigh in his heart, no wonder there are so many people in the world who want to join the navy, this kind of etiquette, rules, and neat uniforms can indeed make people feel awe-inspiring. I feel that even if Ian is just a temporary swordsmanship instructor, he is also treated with courtesy by the naval soldiers. In such an atmosphere, I just feel that I am full of power.
Passing through the passage made up of saluting soldiers, Ian came to the high platform of the playground. He turned and looked at the marine soldiers below, and the marine soldiers also stood at attention neatly, and then looked at Ian.
Ian glanced at the crowd, and said slowly: "There are still two days left, and my term as a swordsmanship instructor is coming to an end. Although it is only a short month, I have known many of you. I also get along well with everyone, so here, I would like to thank everyone for their support of my work.”
"Instructor, you are polite!" The navy soldiers shouted in unison, causing a wave of noise on the playground.
Ian lowered his hand, and waited until the scene became silent before speaking again: "Perhaps many people present also know the reason why I became a swordsmanship instructor... That's right, it's because I don't have the money to pay for the execution platform." loss!"
The naval soldiers in the audience couldn't help laughing, and even Da Siqi couldn't help laughing. Ian, the swordsmanship instructor, was kidnapped by Colonel Smoker. The soldiers at the base knew this well. He admitted without hesitation that the navy soldiers were a little more kind to Ian's frankness.
Ian waited for them to finish laughing, and continued: "Although the agreement with Smoker, an old smoker, is only one month old, I dare to pat my chest to assure everyone that I will definitely teach you with a serious attitude! No The slightest secret, the most important thing in swordsmanship is the basic movements. I let you practice every day, and it is these basic movements. Keep practicing, and one day you will become a master of swordsmanship!"
"Instructor!" A navy soldier raised his hand and asked, "Can you really become a master swordsman like you who can kill Creek with one blow?"
"Yes!" Ian said with certainty: "Although the time is hard to say, it will definitely be possible! And not only can he kill pirates, he might be recruited by the Navy headquarters and become a real elite navy!"
"Is...is it?" The naval soldiers in the audience were excited by Ian's words and couldn't hold back their excitement.
Smoker was currently on the attic window sill of the base, biting a cigar and watching the scene on the playground. He heard what Ian called him a smoker, but he didn't mind. , but he frowned a little.
It wasn't that he felt that Ian was wrong, but that he felt that Ian seemed to have something in his words.
Sure enough, after stimulating the navy soldiers to howl, Ian suddenly said again: "Of course, if you want to become an elite soldier in the headquarters, it's not enough just to bury your head in practice. Now raise your hand and let me see, who among you really How many people have gone to sea and caught pirates?"
Among the soldiers present, a small half raised their hands, while those who did not raise their hands lowered their heads in shame.
Although Rogge Town is the largest naval base in the East China Sea, to be honest, most of the naval soldiers here are only maintaining the law and order of Rogge Town. He may take the initiative to lead his soldiers out to sea to suppress pirates.
During the time Ian stayed at the base, he had already learned about this from the soldiers, so he asked this question. Looking at it now, it was indeed the case.
And this is not over yet, Ian asked again: "Then, those who have really fought against pirates face to face, please raise your hands."
This time, even among the soldiers who raised their hands just now, most of them put down their hands and fought face to face? What a joke, most of them are low-level soldiers, not even a lieutenant. Even if these people have captured pirates, they have only bombarded them from a distance on the ship, even if they participated in the capture of pirates in the square The action, that is after Colonel Smoker tied up the pirates with his ability, they just took over. The real combat experience is really pitiful...
Seeing the ashamed expressions of these soldiers, Ian pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, very well, these guys really cooperated.
So, he made a sad expression, shook his head and said: "It seems that the situation is much worse than I expected... But it's not your fault, maybe you don't have a chance!"
Hearing that Ian gave them the steps, the navy soldiers raised their heads, yes, it's not that we don't want to catch pirates, but that we don't have a chance.
Ian walked up and down the stage a few times, pretending to be thinking, and then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's settled!"
He looked at the naval soldiers in the audience and said: "As a navy, my duty is to protect the environment and the people, and maintain the majesty of the navy flag. I said that although my teaching time is very short, I am absolutely serious and responsible. In this case, Then in the last two days, I plan to arrange a practical exercise for you, in addition to testing your learning results in the past month, it will also provide you with a real fighting opportunity."
"Actual... actual combat exercise!?" The naval soldiers in the audience were dumbfounded and began to discuss.
Ian looked at them coldly, and said, "Why? Don't you want to? Ha, that's funny. With your mentality, you still want to become the elite of the headquarters?"
In a word, the navy soldiers were immediately stimulated again. They all stood upright and stared at Ian.
"Very good!" Ian said with satisfaction: "Now listen to my password and turn back! Run and go! The target is the port pier, and board the ship after getting water and food ready!"
The navy soldiers left the playground listening to Ian's command, and only Da Siqi stayed behind. She came to Ian and yelled at him: "What do you want to do!? You want to take a warship to sea!? No Colonel Smoker's order, you can't do this!"
"In that case, why don't you let him agree?" Ian shrugged, then turned his head and said, "Are you right? Colonel Smoker!"
Da Siqi turned his head and found that Smoker had appeared behind him, so he said anxiously: "Colonel Smoker, stop him quickly!"
However, what I didn't expect was that Smoker didn't pay attention to Da Siqi, but asked Ian suspiciously: "I don't object to the actual combat exercise. Anyway, these guys need to practice, but what's your idea? Really?" Is it just a practical exercise?"
Ian shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a practical exercise. I plan to take them out to sea to see if I can meet some pirates or something. I believe you don't want to raise a group of veteran soldiers, right? And I also want to try commanding the navy." The taste of a warship, is this reason enough?"
Smoker didn't speak, and he smoked his cigar vigorously, filling his head with smoke. After thinking for a long time, he finally poked Ian's chest and said, "I can promise you this actual combat exercise, but you You must promise me that you will bring back my soldiers intact! Can you do it?"
"Don't worry!" Ian said: "If I really encounter a strong enemy, I will personally fight!"
With this guarantee, Smoker couldn't say anything more, waved his hand and said to Da Siqi, "Take care of him!" Then he left.
After receiving Smoker's order, Dashiqi immediately clenched the sword in his hand, stared at Ian closely, and seemed to have begun to carry out Smoker's instructions.
Ian didn't mind at all, he turned his head and left, and Da Siqi hurriedly followed.
When they walked slowly to the port, the navy soldiers had already prepared a warship. The warship used by the branch was one size smaller than the warship of the headquarters, but it was enough to carry two or three hundred people. In the eyes of all the naval soldiers, Ian took Da Siqi aboard the ship, and said to everyone: "This exercise has been approved by Colonel Smoker, so... let's go!"
"Untie the ropes! Raise the sails! Go sailing!"
Following the command of the naval navigator, Ian and his warship slowly left the port. The people staying in the port naturally saw this scene and looked at each other, wondering what the navy was going to do.
"Course, southeast!" Ian shouted loudly on the deck.
"Yes! Heading, southeast!" The naval soldier at the helm repeated loudly, and immediately began to turn the steering wheel.
Ian stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze, and felt that it was a great feeling to be the captain. With just a shout, the ship could move forward according to his own wishes.
At this time, the naval soldiers on the ship thought that Ian was just taking them around the sea, and if they encountered pirates, they would catch them and bring them back, so they didn't think there was anything wrong, so they were faithfully fulfilling their duties. own responsibility.
However, if they could take a look in Ian's pocket at this time, they might find a reward list from the pocket.
And seeing this reward list, it is estimated that all the soldiers present would not be able to help but cry.
Because the reward list in Ian's pocket is the highest reward list in the East China Sea: Aaron's!
The actual combat exercises are all fake. This guy Ian is doing public affairs for personal gain. He came out with the navy. It’s not as simple as just wandering around.
