The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 70
The return journey was not much troubled.

After leaving the canal, the Cleveland braved the wind and waves all the way at sea, and returned to York Harbor in less than ten days.

As soon as we got off the ship, officers from the Third Fleet greeted us "kindly" at the pier.

"Siegfried, you idiot, why have you been out for so long this time? Labor and management almost thought you fed the Gyarados, shit!"

This vulgar greeting made Mu feel: I'm back, really back!
When I was in the capital a while ago, the communication methods of the upper class were all polite and red tape, and the speeches were all slow and orderly, and even the volume had to be controlled as moderately as possible.

When we first met, it was quite refreshing, but after a long time, Mu was really overwhelmed.

Sure enough, the atmosphere here in the navy is more to his liking.

In the next second, Siegfried jumped off the pallet and kicked the person who just greeted him.

"Damn it! When the artillerymen fired on the Gyarados, you motherfucker was still cleaning the deck! You won't die if you sink!"

The man was also dissatisfied, stood up and immediately scuffled back.

"Damn it, it's amazing to be promoted soon? Damn! Come on, brothers, beat him up!"

For a while, the pier was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Mu and the others watched from the side with a smile, not intending to go up to help at all.

For them, watching the captain being beaten has always been a regular decompression program, an old traditional art.

After some enjoyable repertoire, the chief officer began to arrange for the crew on board to stop and register, while other senior officers on board, including Mu, followed the captain to report to the base.

Just as Mu thought, this time Siegfried was summoned by the fleet executives as soon as he came back.

After a while, they came to the general's office area behind the base training camp.

The first thing they met here was an acquaintance, it was Lieutenant General Samas who met and tested Mu Gang when he came here.

At that time, the Gotha Duck who was the examiner of Chenglong was also there.

He remembered Mu's appearance, and when he saw this face, he was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, jumped back a step, and opened his hands in an attacking posture, as if he couldn't wait for another exciting duel.

Yaya wants to wash away the original shame!

However, when Samas saw Mu and the others, he just gave a gentle compliment, "Not bad, not bad, they are all very energetic."

Then he led them on.

It wasn't Samas who really wanted to see them this time.

A group of people filed past the Gotha Duck, but no one stopped to respond to him.

Only Mu turned his head and glanced at him, but in the end, he didn't stop at all.

"Gah?"

Gotha Duck was startled.

After everyone left, his figure seemed to gradually turn gray in place.

Why, ducks are always injured.

……

Then everyone came to an office at the back of the base, where the current Deputy Commander of the Third Fleet was waiting for them: Admiral Grasburg.

Coincidentally, this general and Siegfried were old acquaintances, and they joked with him as soon as they met.

"Hehe, I remember that when you first went to sea, you were a young sailor on my ship running errands. I didn't expect that after so many years, even you became a general."

Siegfried saluted solemnly, and called out in a very reverent tone: "Captain!"

At sea, whether it is a navy or a pirate, the title of captain has a special meaning. This honorary title not only represents a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also symbolizes a kind of inheritance bond similar to that of master and apprentice.

Maybe a navy will have been on many ships in his life, but there may only be one or two officers who make him always willing to call the captain from the bottom of his heart.

For Siegfried, Admiral Grasburg is the captain forever in his heart!

"Hahaha."

The admiral smiled heartily, and then corrected him: "In formal occasions, you should still call me the admiral or the commander."

But from the look on his face, he didn't really mind.

Afterwards, Glassburg chatted with them a lot, including the recent maritime situation, changes in the fleet's top management, the situation in the kingdom, and the news from the New World.

This can be regarded as a signal that the USS Cleveland has been completely accepted by the fleet's top management as a trusted confidant.

Mu secretly clenched his fists - this is undoubtedly an excellent start!
Then Siegfried boldly asked about the new route, but in exchange Admiral Grasburg laughed.

"Hahaha! Brat, it's not your turn to worry about these things. Don't be so insecure about your old captain. We old bastards are not dead yet! If you want to worry about these things, at least wait until you become the commander!"

Siegfried was so embarrassed by his training that he couldn't speak, but he was still happy in his heart.

At least Glassburg's attitude shows that the navy is not helpless in the face of the pressure of the Seventh Prince.

"However, since you young people are so easy to worry about, then the next task is just for you. Be prepared in advance, you guys, I'm afraid you will have to travel far this time.

It is also time for you to meet the light of hope of our navy. "

Admiral Grasburg didn't say any more, it could be said that he had eaten up his appetite, which made Mu feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratching for a while.

What exactly is the Navy's ray of hope?
Why do you need to travel far to see the light of hope?

His strong desire to explore and seek knowledge made him scratch his head in his heart at this moment.

As a result, the admiral just pretended that he didn't intend to tell you now.

I'm so pissed!
Only at the end of the conversation, the admiral also threw out a piece of heavy news——

"In addition, you are going to change to a new ship for this voyage. The Cleveland has been patched so much by you, so it's time to go back to the dock for a serious overhaul."

Everyone was caught off guard, and only then did they realize that their "wife" was about to change.

To the admiral, isn't the ship's wife a wife?
"New ship? Has it been confirmed?" Siegfried asked in disbelief.

"Yes."

After getting an affirmative answer, everyone couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but leave after talking for a few more words, and then rushed all the way to the pier, running faster than Duduli!

For those who live at sea, nothing is more important than their own boat and elves, even if they are not wives, they are still lifeblood!

When they arrived at the pier, after several rounds of inquiries and detours, they could be considered to have seen this new ship that had just been launched.

A few boarding soldiers under Orr were not qualified to go to the office of the headquarters just now. They just came to gather at the moment and didn't know the truth. They commented casually: "Tsk, what kind of broken ship is this, so thin, I'm afraid they can overturn themselves with a single shot."

As a result, Orr glared at them the next moment, and said, "This is our new ship, and the Cleveland is going to be overhauled."

Upon hearing that this was their own ship, the soldiers immediately changed their minds.

"Oh, my God, what a beautiful ship, so slender and beautiful, it fascinates me like a woman's thigh in a tavern! He must be fast, no, I bet he must be the fastest ship in the South China Sea!"

Although each of them has a limited level of education and the analogy is rough, they are still praising with all their strength, and every sentence is from the bottom of their hearts.

The men in the sea have always been so real...
