Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2079 Northeast No. 1 Ship
The official launch of their first destroyer in the northeastern port was undoubtedly exciting news for the Northeastern Navy, led by Badler.

It should be noted that many of the soldiers who passed the test and joined the Northeast Navy came with a longing for the sea and warships.

Soldiers serving inland generally share a common problem: they have never seen their Great Zhou's steel warships and the sea with their own eyes.

At most, we could only learn about related information through newspapers or storytellers.

So, the ocean was seen, but what about the warships?
Where is that huge steel warship you were promised?!

Although they were the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they spent the next year or so training on land!

Of course, there is also sea training, mainly swimming.

Alternatively, they could make a very simple wooden raft and have them carry out missions on the sea to get used to the rough seas.

The higher the training level, the simpler the equipment becomes.

Later on, they'll just give you a piece of driftwood to stand on.

At first, many new recruits even thought that their commander was messing with them.

But their superior officer was truly capable of doing it.

On the surging sea, he stood on a piece of driftwood with ease, leaving them no choice but to admire him.

Putting aside this painful memory, no matter what, the Northeast Navy finally has proper warships now.

If it weren't for military discipline binding them, they would definitely be dancing with excitement right now.

Of course, it's not much different now.

In fact, even Badler, though outwardly calm, was inwardly very excited.

He had seen many warships when he was a Patton Navy officer, and his experience was far beyond what these new recruits could compare to.

But this ship in front of him was, after all, his first warship since becoming commander.

This undoubtedly holds special significance for Badler.

Badler then didn't try to stall them and immediately started them into naval training.

Now that we have warships, we need to start daily training and patrols in the surrounding waters.

As soon as the training began, the soldiers quickly discovered that the warship was not as bumpy as they had expected.

In terms of the level of turbulence, it was nowhere near as good as the rafts they used for daily training, not to mention the driftwood.

Clearly, truly useful basic training often doesn't need to be fancy; the simpler it looks, the better.

While the soldiers of the Northeast Navy were enthusiastically carrying out advanced training, the news of the Northeast No. 1 ship officially entering service did not attract much attention within their Great Zhou.

After all, this wasn't the first destroyer from their Great Zhou.

In addition, the peaceful years have led people to focus more on their daily lives, resulting in significantly less attention being paid to military matters.

In a way, it's a good thing.

This at least proves that everyone is doing well.

In the following period, with the launch of the Northeast No. 1 ship, related work at sea also began.

After briefly confirming the near-shore area, the first task for the Northeast Navy was to confirm the shipping routes between Northeast Port and Female Warrior Port.

At the female warrior port, transportation is restricted due to environmental issues, so no dock has been built yet. Zhou Xu even considered, during discussions with relevant departments, whether to concentrate shipbuilding in this sea area mainly at the dock in the northeast port, rather than having both ports operate simultaneously.

The area around the female warrior's port is poor in environment and currently lacks resources, so there is no need for major development.

It's estimated that setting up a simple naval outpost, serving as a coastal outpost or fleet supply point, would be sufficient.

As it stands, this is the plan.

Of course, we'll have to wait and see how things develop.

After all, sometimes plans can't keep up with changes.

With everything ready, the Northeast No. 1 ship departed from the port and began sailing along the coastline toward the female warrior port.

On the bridge of the Northeast No. 1 ship, Badler stood there in his military uniform, looking quite spirited.

Although this was, strictly speaking, his first solo maritime mission, Badler wasn't too nervous.

After all, he wasn't exactly a novice at sea.

Meanwhile, judging from the mission content, all he needed to do was command the destroyer to sail along the coastline and then successfully reach the female warrior's port to confirm the sea route.

The task was not complicated, in fact, it was very simple. How could something go wrong while carrying out a task right at our doorstep?

Therefore, the soldiers were relatively relaxed until a violent impact came from the bottom of the ship.

"Quickly assess the situation! Check if the hull is damaged!"

Feeling the ship shudder violently, Badler's nerves tightened instantly, and he issued orders.

The latest ships of the Great Zhou Dynasty are now equipped with radio communication equipment, and the response speed of each unit is very fast.

"Reporting, Captain, no damage has been found on the inside of the hull..."

However, before the report could be finished, an even more violent impact came from the bottom of the ship again.

At this moment, Badler's expression was extremely solemn.

Because he realized that he was now facing the most difficult situation ever: sea creatures were frantically ramming against the bottom of their boat!
The Barton Islands had fought many battles with the Seafolk forces in the past, so this potential risk is always taken into account when conducting training or carrying out missions.

And it is precisely because of this that Bader understands just how difficult the current situation is.

"Pass on my order: dock immediately."

Besides special underwater forces like the North Sea Dragon Palace, another possibility for being able to directly attack the hull of their ship from below the sea surface is that it could be a strange beast or an extraordinary creature from the sea.

Judging from the impact intensity, the beasts can be basically ruled out, and the focus shifts to extraordinary creatures.

These extraordinary beings all have their own territories. When unfamiliar forces intrude into their territories, some extraordinary beings will choose to avoid them out of caution, or hide in the shadows to observe.

Those who launch direct attacks are either short-tempered, stupid, or extremely confident in their abilities!

At this moment, Badler was cursing inwardly. His first sea mission, which was of great significance as a commander, had been pushed to such an intensity.

Keep in mind that they haven't even truly left the northeastern port yet; they can still see the port from the deck.

In other words, they were blocked at their own doorstep.

Rounding up, this is definitely going too far!
