From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

After chatting for a while, the villagers were driven back to work by the village chief, and Swan followed the village chief home for dinner.

Walking on the flat country road, Swan stomped his feet curiously, trying out the newest concrete floor.

Looking at Swan's childish behavior, the village chief didn't say anything, because he and the old and young in the village had done similar things.

However, he still explained: "The roads in the village were all funded by the Netherlands Group. They used a new material, which seems to be called cement."

"When we were building the road, we hired a lot of villagers to help. They not only provided meals, but also delicious food, called energy blocks. Just a small piece can fill you up for a day. It's amazing."

"An agricultural cooperative has also been opened in the village, which can now provide seeds, fertilizers, farm tools and other items needed for farmland."

“And after the crops are harvested, they can be sold directly to the cooperative.”

"..."

The village chief had a smile on his face and talked about the changes that had taken place in the village during the time Swan was away.

Swan listened quietly, exclaiming from time to time.

In less than two weeks, the villagers' lives became better than they had been in decades before.

Ten minutes later, the village chief and Swan stood in front of a newly built house. It was the most common large bungalow in the countryside, with a total area of ​​about two hundred square meters. Although small, it had everything it needed.

Gently pushing open the two heavy wooden doors, the village chief invited Swan in.

Swan exclaimed: "What a nice house! It seems that the villagers really have a good life."

Hearing this, the village chief smiled and said, "Yes, the villagers are living well now."

"Some modern breeding farm is being built in the village. I heard that after it is completed, we will be able to eat meat regularly by this time next year."

"Really?"

Swan asked in surprise, knowing that in this day and age, eating meat is a very luxurious thing.

Although pirates, navy officers and nobles eat meat and drink wine with big mouthfuls, it is unimaginable for farmers who work hard in the fields to make a living.

"real."

The village chief replied in a firm tone that the changes in the village during this period of time gave him great confidence.

He believed that under the leadership of Queen Litt, the country would become better and better.

As if he had thought of something, the village chief asked in a serious tone: "Swan, do you want to leave the navy and return to the village?"

"You can see that the village is getting better and better now. You don't need to help the village like before."

Swan was startled for a moment, then lowered his head to think for a while, raised his head, looked at the village chief with a firm look, and said, "No, village chief. I quite like life in the navy."

"Compared to life in the village, I prefer the feeling of sailing on the sea."

Swan's answer disappointed the village chief, but he finally respected Swan's own choice.

The village chief shook his head in disappointment, "Okay!"

Then he asked with concern: "Have you found a woman you like in the Navy?"

"You are not young anymore, it's time to get married and have children."

Speaking of this topic, Swan, a man in his twenties, blushed.

He stammered, "No. Ahem~, there are very few women in our naval branch, only a few aunts in the logistics department."

Swan was feeling uneasy, fearing that the village chief would continue to care about his lifelong affairs, so he picked up a random topic.

Just when they were having a great chat, Wang Hua came to visit.

Wang Hua felt embarrassed to disturb their reunion just now, so he planned to visit them after they finished reminiscing about the past.

This is an opportunity to learn about the 173rd Navy Branch.

Bang bang!

After knocking on the door twice, Wang Hua waited slowly.

Squeak!

After the door was pushed open, the village chief was stunned for a moment when he saw the person coming, and then immediately led him into the house.

Wang Hua greeted him politely, "Village Chief, I apologize for my intrusive visit today."

The village chief waved his hand politely, shook his head repeatedly, and immediately pulled Wang Hua into the living room. It was obvious that the village chief still respected Wang Hua very much.

After entering the house, both parties sat down.

Wang Hua did not keep the secret and directly stated the purpose of his visit. "I have two things to do today. One is to register the identity information of this navy officer, and the other is to ask him some questions."

After hearing Wang Hua's purpose, the village chief nodded, then looked at Swan and asked him to answer seriously.

"Okay, Grandpa Village Chief."

After Swan understood Wang Hua's intention, he responded seriously.

Since learning about the current lives of the villagers, his attitude towards the Kingdom of the Netherlands has become very friendly.

After seeing that the two agreed, Wang Hua directly took out a pen and paper and asked about their name, gender, date of birth, place of origin, experience and other information.

Swish, swish!

A few minutes later, Wang Hua looked up and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. I have recorded it."

After putting away the registration form, Wang Hua opened his notebook again and asked, "We would like to know some information about the Navy Branch 173. Can you tell us about it?"

Swan looked hesitant and began to stammer.

Seeing this, Wang Hua added: "Well, don't worry. I won't make it difficult for you. You don't have to tell me some naval secrets. We mainly want to know what the attitude of the 173rd Navy Branch is towards our Kingdom of the Netherlands?"

"As you know, Queen Litte has just ascended the throne. She has been busy dealing with domestic affairs during this period, and her relationship with nearby forces is not very good."

"We hope to find some allies to ensure that the Kingdom of the Netherlands is not invaded by outside forces."

The village chief also stepped forward and spoke at the right time to assist, "Swan, just pick out what you can say and say it."

"Ok."

Swan replied helplessly. He felt very helpless, but since the village chief had said so, what else could he do?

Wang Hua first asked, "Who is the head of the Navy's 173rd Branch?"

"It's Lord Neil Taylor."

"What is his position?"

"Captain of the Navy."

"What's his personality like? Is he easy to get along with?"

“He’s very easygoing and very easy to get along with.”

"..."

Wang Hua then asked about some trivial matters in the naval branch.

Closing the notebook, Wang Hua said, "Okay, that's all."

Swan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Is that it?"

Wang Hua said casually: "Well, that's it. As of now, the 173rd Navy Branch is still very easy to get along with. Thank you for your support."

After saying that, Wang Hua stood up, shook hands with Swan politely, and prepared to say goodbye.

Just as he turned to leave, Wang Hua asked with concern: "By the way, is your injury serious? What happened this morning was our mistake."

Swan patted his chest, indicating that he was completely healed, and signaled Wang Hua not to worry about it, "This little injury is nothing to us in the navy."
