[Chapter 343 Belfast]
The blue light enveloped the entire Belfast. David, James Norrington and others had quickly run to the dock and stood there quietly watching the warship that had just arrived in Winter City not long ago.
Just when James was fantasizing: “Maybe this is the Duke’s exertion of some mysterious power on the warship, making the warship more powerful and possessing some magical abilities, and I can also benefit from it”, the cruel reality simply blasted his idea into slag. The blue light shrank and
condensed until it dissipated. The Belfast light cruiser on the river had disappeared, replaced by a white-haired girl wearing a blue and white maid outfit with a triple-mounted naval gun and a torpedo tube suspended beside her.
“Hello, maid Belfast. From now on, I will dedicate my life to you.”
Belfast gently lifted her skirt and saluted David in front of her, then began to look around curiously, and soon saw another Belfast not far away.
She didn’t look at the other warship for too long, and soon turned her eyes back to the young man in front of her.
Belfast knew that the handsome young man in front of her was the master she was going to serve, and she was quite curious about this master.
“Uh… Belfast?”
“Yes.”
While Belfast was looking at her, David had been looking at the white-haired woman in front of him. From her appearance and clothes, David could be sure that Belfast and Hood beside her were from the “same producer”.
But in this situation, they should not be considered to be from the same world, right?
“Do you know your identity and where you are from?”
Unless, the magic cube obtained from Hood not only turned the Belfast into a human form, but also gave her the memory of that world.
But Belfast’s answer confirmed that David’s guess was wrong.
She is Belfast, a meritorious battleship that participated in the Second World War brought back from the world of The Walking Dead. These experiences have become her memories and are the basis of her existence and birth.
In addition, she also gained some skills and knowledge about the work of a maid, but did not have relevant memories and intelligence about the Azure World.
“I see…”
Through a simple conversation, David finally figured out how to use the Rubik’s Cube: you need to have a corresponding warship, and reach out to touch the warship while holding the Rubik’s Cube.
The Rubik’s Cube will then transform the warship into a humanoid shape, and the image is basically from Hood’s world.
Although you need a corresponding warship to summon it, it is still a very powerful prop in general.
Looking at Belfast’s attitude, will it be directly bound to the master recognition effect after use? All summoned humanoid warships will be absolutely loyal to him?
Is there such a good thing?
David touched his chin and began to think quickly in his mind about which warships he could find or collect?
Since the humanoid warships in that world are mainly those during World War II, there are not many warships that can be found in the modern background world. They are basically docked somewhere as museums, and many of them do not have humanoid templates.
Can those without humanoid templates use the Rubik’s Cube?
In addition, many warships sank in the war. Can these ships be summoned? Anyway, even at the bottom of the deep sea, David has the ability to go there.
Not to mention the Cybertron body, even with the help of the biological force field, he can easily reach the bottom of the deep sea.
If possible, there will be more choices.
Unfortunately, if you want to find those dismantled warships, you may have to go to the world with the background of World War II. There is no one in Winter City who happens to be in that period.
Peggy originally lived in a world with the background of World War II, but because of fighting monsters, she entered the alien space. When she escaped from the alien space, it was already modern outside.
Although coming to Winter City changed some things, the difference in the speed of time between the alien space and the earth will not change because Peggy came to Winter City.
In other words, when Captain Carter entered the alien space with the monsters, she could not “go back” to the original era.
This is also the main reason why Peggy Carter still lives in Winter City. She did not start to stay in her own world more like Sharon, but only came to Winter City occasionally.
“I think too far ahead. Now I only have one magic cube in my hand, and I can’t summon many.”
Now there are many warships to choose from, and the magic cube is not enough.
When I have a lot of magic cubes and don’t know how to use them, I can worry about where to find the right warships!
In any case, my navy has become more powerful. The humanization of Belfast means that David doesn’t need Tony to develop special power armor for the navy. These human-shaped warships are enough to ensure the surface combat power of the Winter City Navy.
“James, it seems you need to choose a new warship.”
James Norrington saw the whole process and heard the conversation between Belfast and the Duke. In addition, he had seen Miss Hood’s ability, so he did not object to humanizing the warship. After all, this was also to strengthen the naval strength of Winter City.
Will the Lord humanize a warship if he brings back a warship?
As if he had guessed James Norrington’s thoughts, David made a clear promise: If he was going to humanize a warship, he would go find the corresponding ship in person, and James Norrington would not humanize the warship he found next.
James was relieved by the Duke’s words, and he began to think about which ship he should bring back?
The last time he went to the world of the Walking Dead, he did not go straight to the Belfast and then directly returned to Winter City, but looked around and carefully observed several other well-preserved warships.
After thinking for a few seconds, he felt that he could choose one of the Missouri, Iowa, and New Jersey.
Anyway, the Winter River is wide enough and deep enough, so he doesn’t have to worry about the warships being too big to be used in the Winter River. As for the larger warships, it will take more time to repair and transform them after they are transported back. This little thing is nothing, just treat it as training for his soldiers.
With the rapid increase in the population of Winter City, he can recruit a large number of new soldiers.
After taking the lord to visit the newly built naval base, James also introduced the future plan of this base.
In addition to the barracks and office buildings for the garrison, an officer school, a separate recruit training camp, etc. will be built in the future. This will become a large-scale comprehensive naval base with a vast area and complete functions.
According to James Norrington’s plan, Winter City will establish a real “naval base” in the west, that is, at the mouth of the Winter River. There is the first outer defense line of Winter City.
This base is used as a training base for naval command, logistics support, and recruits and officers.
“I like this plan very much!”
David’s original idea was to build Winter City, or the first seaport city of the Principality of Winter, in the east of the northern plains. However, considering the core significance of Winter City in his own power, James Norrington’s plan is more in line with the interests of Winter City.
“If possible, you can go out to sea to inspect the specific location while training the soldiers.”
“I have already made relevant plans.”
David nodded. After all, James Norrington was an orthodox naval commander. He had considered all these things. The original plan was that after the Belfast was thoroughly repaired and refurbished, he would take a ship of officers and soldiers on the maiden voyage to the sea, and observe if there was a good place near the estuary for building a naval base.
However, due to the Duke’s momentary impulse, this plan had to be postponed.
After visiting the new naval base, David took Hood, Belfast and Sophia back to the car and left.
In the car, Sophia continued to introduce David to the general situation of this industrial area, while Hood was communicating with his new compatriot Belfast and introducing her to the situation of Winter City.
The car drove onto the Winter Bridge again, and this time their destination was the Winter Barracks.
Compared to the newly built Winter Naval Base, most of the buildings were still in the planning stage. After such a long period of development and construction, the Winter Barracks has become more and more perfect.
Even if a large number of new recruits poured in at once, the Winter Barracks could still easily “swallow” these people, and there was no need to build more facilities to accommodate these “new recruits”.
Because the Winter Barracks had taken into account the subsequent development situation since its construction, David had built it as a large base when he “designed” the Winter Barracks.
After a large number of Cybertronians poured in, it was specially transformed once more, so the Winter Barracks has only become more lively now, and there is no feeling of “crowding”.
“After the first round of reorganization, the former Tyran Legions have been reorganized into the Winter Legion, a total of 1,500 people, and only a very small number have been eliminated and sent to Sheriff Elizabeth Swan.” When
Gareth Stanton learned that the Duke was going to check the changes everywhere in the city today, he waited at the gate of the barracks.
After greeting the lord, he walked into the barracks while reporting the results of the reorganization.
“The quality of these soldiers is far superior to that of ordinary recruits, so it is not difficult to reorganize them.”
After all, they are all professional soldiers, and their quality is not comparable to that of ordinary people. With such excellent soldiers, Gareth Stanton wishes to keep them all.
The more than 100 people who were eliminated were not unqualified, but because of their personal wishes.
After living for a period of time, these people knew what the security team did. They felt that this risk-free and easier job was more suitable for them than serving in the army, and took the initiative to withdraw from the army and join the security team. Otherwise, it is not impossible for all members to stay.
“The second round of reorganization will begin next, which is to train various skills so that they can master the combat methods and weapons and equipment of Winter City.”
