Transcendent Journey

Ivan is not a pure idealist. The ancestors of the family have the courage to explore the unknown world. The spirit of exploring the unknown world is worthy of recognition. However, under the circumstances of being poor and white, it would be too empty and illusory to sell iron and investment ideals.

However, when I truly master the power to control his own destiny, Ivan will probably follow in the footsteps of Garrett’s ancestors and choose to see the sky and water of this World!

“Then…Warrant Officer Ivan, you have to come on, I am very strict!”

“Thank you, Captain, I will work hard!”

After singing and talking, both my uncle and nephew laughed at the same time. The feeling of alienation that hadn’t been seen in five years gradually dissipated, and the two really began to get closer.

Push cups and change cups, concentrate on enjoying the rare delicacies on the table, and have fun until late at night.

However, another episode occurred on the 2nd day Ivan and Gehr met.

Early in the morning, Gehr took Ivan back to the shore and found Major Eugene, Ivan’s instructor for this period.

“Sir Gehr, early!”

Looking at Gehr who opened the door, Major Eugene, who was processing the documents, immediately got up and saluted. Whether it is the rank of colonel, the rank of Knight, or the status of the main battleship captain, he needs to be treated with respect.

At this time, he noticed that Ivan was coming in with Gehr. He lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at himself, thinking that he was young and energetic and had caused some trouble on the colonel’s boat.

“Did this kid Ivan cause trouble as soon as he boarded the ship? You leave him to me and I will take care of him.”

Major Eugene said to clean up Ivan secretly winked at Ivan, showing one’s feelings in one’s speech.

“hahaha, Major Eugene, Ivan did not cause trouble, on the contrary, I want to thank you for sending him to my boat!

Walk around, let’s go to the tavern and talk slowly , I and I will toast you!”

Regardless of whether it is actually breakfast time, Gehr took Major Eugene and insisted on drinking. Now Gehr sees it as a benefactor who helped him reunite with Ivan, and gave him the opportunity to make up for his friends’ debts for several years. In any case, he would like to thank him before setting sail.

Soon, the three of them were already seated in the tavern, and Gehr had already explained Ivan’s situation to Eugene on the way.

“The child is ignorant, and he didn’t tell the family when he ran out. Fortunately, it was a great help to have you delivered to my boat.” Gehr brought the wine glass to Eugene very sincerely.

“Commander Gehr is polite. I was just doing my duty. I didn’t think about that many at the time. I just couldn’t bear to watch Ivan waste time on the communications ship.

He is so good.

You’re youngster, you can get the best exercise only when you get on the officer’s boat.”

Eugene has a very humble attitude. Not only did he fail to claim credit, but he secretly complimented the pair of uncles and nephews. Gehr had a cold face. There was also a hint of smile on it.

The two chiefs can have a chat.

But Ivan, who was sitting next to him, could only pretend to be a “problem child of the family”. He gave Eugene a few cups with a smile, and then rolled his eyes several times.

In his mind, Ivan’s image has also quietly changed from a lonely and desolate side to an Eldest Young Master. Eugene, who was originally sympathetic to Ivan, would have been here if Gehr hadn’t been there. You have to kick Ivan’s ass.

Oh, co-authored me with great compassion, and finally helped you find a bright future thanks to the favor, but instead sent you to your relatives’ boat? What about it?

But Eugene was not really angry. After all, youngster, there is always this kind of aggressiveness of newborn calves do not fear tigers. It is understandable not to rely on the family to come out singlehanded to prove their ability.

But most of these “calves” will recognize reality after several years of severe beatings in the society. Although they have grown, they have actually been wasted for a long time, and some of the gains outweigh the gains.

In this way, in the end, I have done a good thing by mistake. I really admire Ivan, now with his Colonel Uncle Gehr, the military career will definitely go smoother and avoid many detours.

I am actually very happy for him in my heart!

…

Silver Wing has been back to Hong Kong for a total of two days. After a short period of maintenance of the ship, personnel repairs, and replenishment of supplies, it will continue to be put into the third fleet area. Cruise missions within.

Furthermore, taking into account Colonel Gehr’s outstanding ability, their mission route risk factor will be relatively high.

However, the sailors have become accustomed to this kind of life. The risk factor is high and the rewards are naturally high. As Gehr once said, a person who follows the rules and only wants to live a stable life cannot be a navy or even a sailor.

Most of these people are bold and bold, and they don’t even mind breaking into the famous pirate port “Shipwreck Bay” as long as they are given enough benefits.

In this atmosphere, Ivan also officially went to sea with the ship as a navy for the first time.

Wow——

Wow——

While patrolling back and forth on the deck, the waves blooming around me, Ivan’s current mood and leaving Leopold at that time are also different different.

Today is the new starting point for my life.

During the two days when the Silver Wing was docked for resupply, Gehr had introduced the general situation of the ship to Ivan, allowing him to quickly integrate into this new group.

The old crew on this ship were all transferred from the original Level 4 battleship following Gehr.

I don’t know what they have gone through. The vacancies have not been completely filled. Official officers have been promoted internally through Gehr appointments. The main navigator, steering officer, sail line leader, first officer, second officer, The third officer, the sailor, the gunner, and the artillery chief are all ready.

But for the time being, there is only one alternate officer like him.

After boarding the ship, under the arrangement of Gehr, as the captain, his tentative post is the messenger. Responsible for conveying the instructions of some captains, and you can also go to any post on the ship to observe and learn. It can be said that it is the most conducive to the growth of an alternate officer.

I have to say, this is the advantage of someone above!

Otherwise, the Shangguan throws you into the cabin, and you can’t learn anything even if the conditions are bad. That’s really sad.

Although the officers on the battleship were surprised that the captain treated the newcomer differently, they were not out of line. After all, he was the only alternate officer on the ship. He only took care of the youngster and was willing to train him without much thought.

This is Ivan’s request, although it is not so hypocritical that Gehr treats himself equally. But temporarily concealing the relationship between the two will help Ivan integrate into the group. Even if he is exposed after he is thoroughly familiar with everyone, there will not be too much distance. The relationship households seem to be beautiful, but the gap between them and the ordinary person is everywhere.

Only the captain Chris knows the hidden secrets in the middle part. But he is Gehr’s true iron confidant and the manager of the sailors on the ship. Sooner or later, Gehr will find the opportunity to tell him that at least he needs to take care of Ivan in the possible battle after going to sea.

Call——

Silver Wing gradually sailed out of the military port, and the water surface became open. The wind gradually increased. The sailors needed to re-adjust the rigging to control the sails in order to get the most stable sailing. Good speed.

“Hey xiu——Hey xiu——”

There were neat chants on the deck, and about ten sailors under each mast were manipulating the sails.

“Your Excellency Jabu, can I help control the sail?” Ivan, who had been watching for a long time, walked up to the long sailing line Jabu who was directing the sailor to adjust the sail and asked.

During the three-month training of recruits, both the instructor and Ivan’s self-study in the library have filled a lot of knowledge.

Although I have tried several times on a small training boat, this is the first time in a real battleship. Ivan is not sure whether the sailing line will allow him, a novice, to try his skills.

The beard-faced sailing cable took a look at Ivan, and after a little thought, he agreed. After all, now it’s just going to sea, there is no danger. Novices who want to improve are now good for practicing. time.

“Okay, I agree, but youngster, you don’t have to go to lift the rigging with the sailors, just stand by my side and watch. I will explain to you how to operate and why. “Yes.” The sail leader had a good attitude, and he agreed very simply, but at the same time he also put forward his own requirements.

Ivan also knows that the length of the sail is not because he is afraid of breaking his sails, but because the hoisting equipment is actually doing hard work. Knowing when and where to control the sail is the real thing. Where the technology lies.

“Thank you, Lord Jabu!”

Standing next to Jabu, listening to his narration, Ivan will match the knowledge learned in the training camp with the actual situation. .

Sails are the most technologically advanced device on sailboats, and they are also the only source of power for most sailboats. They are no less important than engines in the modern world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the heart of a sailboat, but this heart is a bit biased, it is growing outside.

The moving cable on the battleship is white, the static cable is black, and the white cable is the main adjustment when manipulating the sail cable. For a layman, seeing the densely packed rigging on a sailboat will definitely be dazzled.

But if you want to accurately control the sails and fight the wind and waves, you absolutely cannot do without the help of the large and small rigging system.

Let’s take a look at how many riggings are on a three-masted sailing ship.

Controlling the girders requires halyards, slings, and swivel girders; controlling the sails requires: slings, front slings, and slings; reefing needs: slings, bottom slings, side Three sets of reefing lines on the side.

A three-masted sailing battleship has 11 horizontal sails in the first four, four in the rear, and three in total. These riggings have to be repeated eleven times. Only this requires at least ninety-nine riggings and no spares Rigging and some double rigging that require additional load-bearing.

On the sailboat, these riggings seem to be complicated, but in fact they are not messy. No matter what the wind direction and weather, experienced sailors can find the corresponding rigging immediately and adjust him to Best location.

Even when the sails are balanced, there is no need to use the rudder on the calm water. The sailing crew can make the battleship go straight by adjusting the sails.

So the sailor who works on the three masts bears the most important responsibilities and is also one of the most important technicians on the sailboat.

Ivan still has a long way to go if he wants to become a skilled sailor.
