Doomsday, starting from a generation of masters

Chapter 396 Who is the wolf
Then the two discussed the price.

The cost of a Tier [-] battleship was about [-] pounds earlier, and Andre offered a price of [-] pounds, and two ships cost [-] pounds.

Lynn agreed to the price, but said that the artillery and basic ammunition must be provided.

As for merchant ships, his requirement is that they should not be less than [-] tons, and they must be new ships that have been well maintained within five years.The price is half of the battleship.

This is a business worth nearly [-] pounds!
Andre's profit can reach ten thousand pounds.This kind of business has not been touched for several years.Immediately stated that these ships could be assembled within three months.

Lynn directly refused.

"Within a month, I can add another ten thousand pounds."

How could he have so much free time to wait, the "Sorcerer's Stone" could produce a ton of gold in two months.

In simple conversion, one pound is about 7.2 grams of gold, and ten thousand pounds is 72 kilograms of gold. Three or four days' production of "Sorcerer's Stone".

The price of a Tier 150 battleship is about [-] kilograms of gold.Philosopher's Stone produces about a little over a week.

There's absolutely no need to waste too much time on this.

But Andre was almost taken aback by Lynn's generosity.

Throwing down £[-] just to avoid waiting two months!This is almost the profit of his largest shipyard in Tatuga for two years.

After Lynn left, Andre's face was flushed with excitement, and his beard was shaking wildly.

A rough voice yelled in the shipyard, "Hurry up, tell me all the pirates, I want a ship, not to build a ship, but to buy a ship."

"The newer the better, the sooner the better."

Andre even felt that he could go to the navy barracks and discuss with them the replacement of "scrap" ships.

Try not to waste too much money on things that can be done with gold.After Lin En settled the matter of the boat, he let it go.

However, the news of a mysterious rich man appearing in Tartuga quickly spread throughout the port.

His handwriting is too big, and such handwriting is destined to be impossible to hide.Andre didn't agree to hide it for him either.

Because the crew was still to be recruited, Lynn simply released the news that the recruitment would be open in the tavern where he lived.

The owner of the tavern welcomed this very much. She was not afraid that if there were too many people, she would trample the ground. The more people there were, the better her business would be. Excited, she even expressed that she could find the best woman in Tatuga for Lynn.

Lynn refused decisively.Although he is not afraid of getting sick, he is becoming more and more picky about women.

No matter how good the fireflies in these ports are, he has no interest in them at all. He might as well meet a few more crew members when he has that time.

A Tier 350 battleship is fully manned with 200 people, at least no less than [-] people, any less will affect the combat power.

If two ships are fully staffed, there are 700 people. Merchant ships need fewer people, and the entire fleet needs about 1000 people.

The number of applicants is far more than this number.

Whether it is a crew or a pirate, the ships they serve are actually not fixed.

It is easy for ordinary crew members to understand that many of them will return home to rest for a period of time after they go ashore, and then decide when to start work according to their personal circumstances.

But after the pirates landed, there was only one thing, crazy squandering!

They'll spend whatever shilling they have on them, and then look for "jobs" after the tavernkeeper throws them out.

Of course, many pirates still form teams after working together a few times.But all captains do not welcome this "team".

Because for pirates, no one can be trusted.

When at sea, if the pirates are dissatisfied with the captain, they may overthrow the captain under the leadership of the first mate, and the first mate will lead them to continue sailing.

This is allowed by the Piracy Code.

After all, if a pirate captain can't control his crew, he deserves his death.

Such is the case with poor Captain Jack!

The pirates boarded their ships for one purpose, gold!

When the captain couldn't bring them gold, and didn't have enough prestige, being thrown overboard was almost predictable.

Therefore, many captains prefer to gather a few core personnel, and then dismiss them after each mission is full, and then recruit again.If the old crew return to board the ship, of course, they will be informed of the sailing time. If they do not come after the time limit, the captain will never wait an extra minute.

When Lin En recruits a large number of crew members and is still a "newcomer" captain with little reputation, in the eyes of many pirates, he is just a piece of fat, ready to be slaughtered.

But Lynn didn't care about these at all. He was not afraid of anyone who came, whether it was a retired navy or a pirate.Even gangs with ulterior motives don't care.

As long as they can manipulate artillery and warships proficiently, he will accept them.

The next night, Captain Jack quietly came to the door.Grabbing the red wine beside his table, "Ton Ton Ton" drank it down.

Then he stretched out his orchid fingers, picked up the grapes on the table and threw them into his mouth.Hehe smiled and said:
"Lynn, you are now the most famous big shot in Tatuga!"

"Almost all the pirates are talking about you. You can go to sea without any worries, and no pirates will attack you."

"Because you can't wait until that day! You will be thrown overboard by the recruited sailors as soon as you set out to sea."

"They have formed dozens of teams, big and small, and they are already discussing how to divide the money they get!"

Jack didn't ask what he was going to do, or how he got his money,

Lynn knew that he just reminded himself after hearing the news, and didn't explain anything to Jack, but just treated him to a big meal.

Seeing that he didn't care and didn't persuade him any more, Jack left after eating happily.

It's just that the look in Lynn's eyes when he left is like saying goodbye forever.Seeing Lin En's whole body turned cold, he almost gave him a brick!
Lynn Jack said was of course clear, but the next day's recruitment went on as usual.

He only selects those who are proficient in business and can skillfully control the sails for sailing, and the most demanding ones are artillerymen.

Naval guns in the age of sails do not have servo mechanisms for pitch and deflection angles, so the shooting accuracy of warships has to take into account the fluctuations of the waves, the training level of the gunners, the excellent performance of the gunners, and the rich experience of the captain. .

Artillery at this time was usually trained on a squad basis.A team of 5 to 13 people.A skilled crew can shorten the launch interval to less than 1 minute.However, poor coordination may reach 5 minutes.

The gap between them is simply worlds apart!
So Lynn's recruitment didn't ask about their backgrounds or their purpose at all. He only cared about their proficiency in skills.

So the recruitment went very fast, and within seven days he recruited 1000 or [-] people, and he even recruited [-] more.

This is a necessary loss, for at sea,

Let them know who the wolf is! ! !
