Chapter 104 Idar's Sword and Shield
Chapter 103 Idar's Sword and Shield For confidentiality reasons, Idar's fishing port and Idar's shipyard are located in the south and north, on both sides of the Idar River estuary.
On the north bank of the Idar River, a large piece of land has been circled out on the map by Bruno, which will be used to build the Idar Naval Headquarters, including a series of supporting facilities such as naval barracks and material warehouses.
According to Bruno's plan, the fishing port on the south bank will become the starting point of Idar's future new shipping routes and will gradually transform into a large commercial and cargo port.
The shipbuilding project of Idar Territory is in full swing at this time. After these days of running-in, Captain Jack has finally adapted to the work efficiency of the Idar people.
He originally thought that the construction task would take a week to complete, but the Idar people could complete it within three days with guaranteed quality and quantity.
Although this was closely related to the application of the anti-gravity array, he was also extremely surprised by the dedication and efficiency of the Idar workers.
Although I don't fight for everything, I will never shirk my responsibility once it is my turn.
The anti-gravity magic array is the latest product of the Idar Magic Array Research Laboratory a few days ago. Its predecessor is the suspension magic array designed by the mage apprentice Anel.
Since the overall structure of the suspension magic circle is relatively rough, it is very unstable and a wizard must be present to supervise when using it, otherwise work-related accidents are likely to occur.
But the anti-gravity magic array completely eliminated this shortcoming. Nine mage apprentices worked together to upgrade and optimize the suspension magic array in all aspects, and added a backup "line" when drawing the magic array. Once the suspension magic array fails, the backup line will be activated to prevent the heavy wood from suddenly falling and causing a safety hazard.
At the same time, the mage apprentices also made overall improvements to the original structure of the magic circle, and changed the original single-line operation to multiple lines to transmit magic power at the same time, thereby reducing the magic load during the operation of the magic circle and greatly extending the service life of the anti-gravity magic circle.
Since the anti-gravity array has a special "switch" for ordinary people to operate, when Captain Jack first saw the wood that could float on the construction site, he even thought that all the workers on the scene were wizards...
Idar Territory... is really unfathomable! Captain Jack only knows a little about shipbuilding, but because he has been drifting on the sea for many years, he has a lot of experience in naval warfare, and this... also perfectly fills the gap in Idar Territory's naval training.
It was absolutely impossible to give full authority to Captain Jack to conduct training. The original deputy commander of the Idar Guard, Mal Karen, was temporarily appointed by Bruno as the admiral of the Idar Navy.
Captain Jack can only serve as a special consultant to the Idar Navy, responsible for assisting Mal Karen in training the navy.
After all, Captain Jack is still just a prisoner of the Idar people. He can only make suggestions on the naval construction of the Idar territory, but if he wants to seize real power, it is absolutely impossible in a short period of time.
The training methods of the Idar Navy followed some of the training methods of the standing army, but some changes were made on this basis.
For example, subjects such as standing at attention and squatting were all retained. This was not because these subjects were of great significance to the physical fitness of soldiers, but to enforce strict military discipline, rectify military style, and let the naval soldiers under Idar always remember their duties as an Idar soldier.
Bruno attached great importance to the military discipline and ideological construction of the Idar Navy.
After all, when the three-masted sailing ship is built, the Idar Navy may sail freely in the ocean far away from Idar most of the time. This requires these soldiers far away from Idar’s homeland to always remember their original intentions, keep their mission in mind, and truly regard Idar as their home and the people of Idar as their own family.
However, training subjects such as weighted cross-country running, which are often conducted by the regular army, have been greatly simplified in naval training.
But at the same time, the Idar Navy added many different training subjects. For example, in order to help some crew members overcome seasickness, Mal Karen specially requisitioned several small fishing boats, threw all the new sailors who were not accustomed to ocean life on board, and then sailed to the open sea.
The turbulent waves, the howling wind, the crowded cabin filled with seasick crew members, and the small fishing boat swaying in the sea with the waves...
“Ugh~”
When the first sailor couldn't bear it anymore and vomited, a pungent smell filled the cabin.
Coupled with the bumps and crowds on the fishing boat itself, more and more sailors began to be unable to bear it and started vomiting.
"Woooo ...
“Ugh~”
The cabin was already crowded, so when the fishing boat came to the shore again, almost every sailor squeezed in the cabin rushed out, and the crowd watching the excitement on the shore avoided them as much as possible...
You’ll get used to it after vomiting all the time!
For the sailors who had just joined the army, this sentence was simply the beginning of a nightmare! However, the high salary of the navy and the heroic deeds of the Idar standing army that they had heard in the ideological construction course had already been engraved in their minds.
Therefore, under the control of some mysterious force, they became more and more courageous, and enjoyed vomiting more and more, and truly took "you will get used to it by vomiting" as words to encourage themselves.
Therefore, half a month later, when the navy soldiers stood in front of the naval port of Idar for the first time with the three-masted sailing ship under construction as the backdrop to receive the inspection of the Earl, they all held their heads high and were full of spirit.
"Good! Very energetic!" Bruno couldn't help but admire sincerely.
Bruno has high hopes for these naval soldiers.
If the Idar standing army is an important force to protect the security of Idar's homeland and is the shield of Idar, then this newly formed Idar navy is the sword of Idar!
At least at this stage, they are the main support for Idar's external expansion.
"The naval soldiers of Idar must not only obey orders and have good work style, but also dare to fight and be able to win. What you need to do most now is to tighten the string in your heart, intensify training, and be ready for battle at any time. After the three-masted warship under construction is completed, the Idar people will take the initiative to attack and kill the pirates on their territory." After inspecting the naval soldiers of Idar, Bruno said to Mal Karen in a deep voice.
