Chapter 134： midshipman

"In addition to hospitals for civilians, I also want to establish a special medical team in the army to facilitate timely treatment of the wounded on the battlefield."

Paul thought of the tragedy he saw in the Butuya prisoner-of-war camp last time, and when he was in a coma, Father Anderson wanted to bloodlet him. It was time to reform the backward medical system in this world.

"This is a good idea. After coming to Northwest, I haven't seen a place dedicated to medical affairs."

Ladi and Irene both nodded in agreement.

"Then, I will bother you with the things I just said. If there is nothing else, please go back and sort out today's content."

"Yes, my lord count."

The two female advisors stood up and said goodbye.

After Paul watched the two leave, he ordered the chief secretary: "Please invite Director Shi Cecil, Chief of Staff Rhodes, and the two battalion commanders who stayed in Huxin Town to come over."

Bernard went away in response, and he picked up the two documents that he had not shown to the female advisers just now.

Paul read it carefully again, and the above content made him frown.

"Can it greatly enhance a person's strength and speed, or even turn him into a monster?"

He murmured to himself, this effect is more exaggerated than stimulants, what kind of drug can be produced in this technologically backward world?

Soon, intelligence chiefs and military senior officials came to Paul's office, and everyone discussed in detail the intelligence sent by the navy.

The report of the Navy mentioned a mysterious figure named "Barnett". The prisoners confessed that the medicines that Garden obtained seemed to be provided by this person, and Garden obeyed this person.

But the captives didn't know any further news. The only pirate leader Garden who might know about Barnett's details had already fed the fish.

Paul is quite depressed. Who is this man named Barnett? It is well known in the Northwest Gulf that he has spared no effort to fight against pirates. This person is still helping pirates under such circumstances, obviously not taking himself seriously. inside.

Is it the surrounding lords who are unhappy with him? It is very possible, such as the Kent family who threatened him with force some time ago.

He ordered Cecil with a displeased face: "At all costs, we must find out the identity of this person."

As for the mysterious drug, the navy seized a little in the pirate stronghold, and he decided to hand it over to the alchemists recruited from the capital to study it carefully.

What made him happy was that the "Hope" did not live up to his expectations in this battle. Not only did it sink one enemy ship in the naval battle, pin down the other three ships, but it also single-handedly captured the pirate's secret stronghold .

Originally, the navy's plan was to send ships to guard the stronghold in shifts, but when the second shift of ships arrived, the officers and soldiers on the Hope had searched the pirates' stronghold to the bottom.

Paul asked everyone: "What do you think of Captain Quick's training plan for reserve personnel?"

Among the slaves rescued this time, many were boys who had not yet grown up, and some of their family members had been killed by pirates, so it can be said that they were homeless.

Captain Quake of the Hope made a suggestion: the military would take these children in, let them live on the warship with the officers and soldiers, teach them various navigation knowledge and military rules, and train them as reserve talents for the navy.

Bryce shook his head: "Don't pirates just like to catch some underage children to supplement themselves? Does he want to bring the way he did when he was a pirate to the army?"

"I kind of agree with that suggestion," Paul said.

When the sun never sets on the earth, their navy has a special system—officer cadets.

This personnel training system was established by King Charles II of England. All noble children who want to serve in the navy must start as naval interns. This greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the navy and trained a large number of outstanding officers for the navy.

The ranks of officer candidates are relatively vague, most of them are underage teenagers, and they actually learn sailing and combat on warships. These teenagers are usually the **** of middle-class families. They boarded the ship as an officer's handyman when they were about 13 years old. After two years of sailing life, they could become candidates at the age of 15 through an introducer, and they could join the rank of lieutenant officer at the age of 20. take an exam.

In the history of the British Navy, many generals joined the navy when they were young. Jericho joined the navy at the age of 13, Cunningham joined the navy at the age of 10, Fisher joined the navy at the age of 13, and Betty joined the navy at the age of 13.

Nelson, the legendary general who won the Battle of Trafalgar and saved Britain from Napoleon I, joined the navy at the age of 12.

These cadets learn from practical work, work side by side with the chief officer, non-commissioned officer, and sailors, climb up and down the mast, and sweat profusely in the hold, so they can better understand the thoughts of the lower-level sailors~www.novelhall.com ~When they become lieutenants, captains, and even generals, this experience will be of great help to their leadership.

Britain's maritime hegemony lasted for nearly 400 years, thanks to the midshipman system.

When talking about midshipmen, Paul thought of a movie—"Raging Seas", which tells the story of the British Navy's sailing warship "HMS Surprise" fighting wits and bravery with French warships on the ocean during the Napoleonic Wars. A real man's movie". There was a young lady called "Lord Brenick," the ship's midshipman, who made a deep impression on him in this role.

Schroeder also said: "I also agree with this suggestion. According to my observation, the work on the warship has high technical requirements, and we don't have enough equipment and personnel to train the newly joined personnel. It is better to let these small Children learn directly on board, and their learning ability and comprehension are always relatively high."

Paul clapped his hands: "Then it's settled."

…

On the central square of Port Fulan, the Government Affairs Department specially dispatched personnel to publicize the news of the extermination of the Garden Bandits.

Although under the protection of the navy, the coast of Arda has rarely been invaded by pirates, but the news that several neighboring territories have been plundered by pirates will come from time to time. Celebrating the loss of another catastrophe at sea.

In the midst of the celebration, a person wrapped in a black cloak was at odds with the surrounding atmosphere.

Barnett tugged his hood to cover his face, he snorted, and said to himself in an inaudible voice:

"Paul Grayman? I'd like to see how good you are."

His tone was full of disdain.
