Chapter 44: Coming soon
Smog quickly told the Navy headquarters that Qin Shou wanted to buy warships with the Navy to enter the great route... Cap! Smog can only talk to Cap. He can't stand other people and others.
At this time, Karp was riding his dog-headed warship with his men and others, and he had just set out from the Navy headquarters toward the East China Sea. Even after hearing the news from Smog, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Wowhahaha~ Buying warships from the Navy is really a big deal~ But warships cannot be traded casually~" Karp stood on the deck while eating scones, smiling.
It is obvious that neither Kap nor the Navy headquarters would agree to Qin Shou's request to purchase a naval warship... Naval warships are symbols of the navy, and what should we do to trade casually to treat the navy's pressure as? However, Kap, the old man, also asked Smog to bring a message to Qin Shou. If you want to use a warship, it is very simple, just join the navy. At the same time, it also conveyed the meaning that the Warring States Period wanted to convey - to recruit Qin Shou.
Luoge Town, where the tavern is Qinshou lives in short)
At this time, a group of naval soldiers outside the tavern were guarding the door. Some diners at the gate didn't dare to go in and could only point fingers outside.
At this time, there were only two girls, Smoge, Qin Shou, and Isis and Qisara standing behind Qin Shou. Then there was the owner of the tavern responsible for serving food. There was no one else in the hall.
"Lieutenant General Cap's meaning is probably this... so I can't do anything about this, but it's enough to buy a big ship if you want to enter the great route. There is no need to spend a lot of money to seek naval warships." Smoger said to Qin Shou with his right hand spread.
There were several plates of side dishes on the table. At this time, Smoge and Qin Shou were talking while eating side dishes on the table. This scene was like an old friend reminiscing about the past.
Qin Shou was not surprised when he heard this result, and he couldn't help but smile deliberately, "Oh~ It seems that the Navy won't sell my face~ Forget it, what I did for the Navy is not enough~ Otherwise, I might as well be a pirate and just grab a warship."
When he heard Qin Shou's words, the cigar that Smoger held in his mouth almost fell into the bowl, and he was obviously startled.
"Ahem cough cough..."
Smoger rarely choked by his cigar. After straightening out his anger, he said: "Don't... don't make such jokes, it's not funny at all. And now Lieutenant General Cap is on his way here. Don't you understand the meaning of the Navy? This is just to invite you to join the Navy!"
Qin Shou is not a fool, so he doesn't know about the navy's trick. His strength to destroy the Creek Pirates has already made them afraid, so he chose to recruit. This way, he can add available manpower to the navy to threaten the pirates from all sides.
But what surprised Qin Shou was that the Navy actually asked Karp to come in person to convey the news. Is this a sign of their sincerity to him? When did the Navy become so sincere? Or did it mean that the East China Sea just have other tasks... But these are not important anymore. Since the Navy wants to recruit him, then show some sincerity, and some of them will agree to their request.
"Let's not mention this yet. Since the warship cannot be given to me, then sell me a large ordinary ship. I have been here for so long and I want to leave early." Qin Shou said to Smog.
After taking a sip of the cigar, Smoger nodded and said, "This is natural... You can get the ship after you pay the navy and get the procedures done. But I hope that after you enter the great route, you will not forget the [justice] in your heart... The pirates of the great route are not comparable to those in the East China Sea."
Qin Shou smiled faintly, and he was naturally very clear about this.
However, the conversation between Qin Shou and Smoger was heard by the owner of the tavern. After learning the news, he told him a group of caravans who wanted to go to the great route. Yes, caravans entering the great route from Roger Town or the East China Sea have always existed. Although there is only one entrance to the great route, and it is very dangerous, under the temptation of huge profits, countless merchants still went there.
To give a very simple example, although the specialty wines in the East China Sea cannot make much money by selling them on the East China Sea street, once they are transported to the Great Line, the price will be at least several times higher. If you are lucky, you can get local specialties from the Great Line back to the East China Sea to sell them, which can make a lot of money! Therefore, in the face of such profit temptation, even if you know that entering the Great Line is full of dangers, many people will take risks to enter. Not only the East China Sea, but also the other oceans. Because Luoge Town is the closest place to the entrance of the Great Line, it is also the place where the East China Sea caravans gather the most. Qin Shou first came to Luoge Town and most of the ships staying outside Luoge Town were generally caravan ships.
Of course, these caravans are not fools. Although money is important, they know that if they die, there is no place to spend money. So in order to reduce the risk, they will hire powerful pirate hunters or bounty hunters to escort them when necessary, reducing the risk.
Because there are many merchant groups to the great route, there are also such groups in Roger Town. They specially escort caravans to the great route to ensure that the cargo reaches their destination safely. In addition to obtaining caravan rewards, they will also collect local specialties on the great route or escort other caravans returning to the East China Sea from the great route. The profits they get from back and forth are also quite considerable.
Recently, there are many caravans in Roger Town that are about to go to the Great Route, and everything is ready, but now they are just a group of bodyguards who can escort goods. When the merchant's leader came to the tavern for a drink, he told the boss to pay attention to the pirate hunters or merchant guards who are powerful here. So after the boss of the tavern learned that Qin Shou was going to the Great Route, he told the caravan the news.
