Extraordinary Sailing

Aiwen really didn't expect that he would "see with his own eyes" the enemy of the Wright family at this time and in this form.

Not to mention this young man named Hawkins.

Not only is the fellow of the Garriott family in the Kingdom of Ilia, who masters the same school of extraordinary swordsmanship as himself, he is even an employee of the Egret Chamber of Commerce under Wright.

Because of this series of coincidences, for a moment, Ivan even thought that this guy might be a spy or even a killer sent by the enemy, and then he had to act first.

But then the memory belonging to Hawkins presented in front of Ivan proved that he had no close relationship with his enemy Earl Wright.

To be more precise, Hawkins' perception of the Chamber of Commerce and Wright may not be more "friendly" than himself.

Although the unforgettable memories in the deep dream are a bit messy, they are deep enough, and Ivan even realized the strong emotions contained in those memories of Hawkins!

Among them is joy:

The joy of a young child standing behind the helm of a merchant ship on a bench while stroking the wheel;

Compared with the present, young people who are still a little green, standing on the podium of the business school and attracting the attention of everyone;

Walking hand in hand with a girl whose face has already been blurred, when you and I are together;

The infinite pride when I received the employment notice from the Egret Chamber of Commerce where my father worked after graduation;

Approving glances from parents, adoring glances from girlfriends, great success in presiding over a commercial M\u0026A case for the first time.

Of course there are also sad ones:

It was heartbreaking to hear that the merchant ship where my father was in was shipwrecked and was buried in the sea;

The powerlessness and hatred of the Egret Chamber of Commerce when they took away Hawkins' "home" that carried countless memories on the grounds that his father's mistakes caused heavy losses to the Chamber of Commerce;

And the depression and loneliness when his girlfriend left resolutely.

"."

Scenes of Hawkins' life are like a scroll, slowly unfolding in front of Ivan and Milan.

Among them are the real life of Hawkins that Ivan wants to know by using the method of dreaming, but there are also many things that are beyond his expectations.

Through these very important moments in Hawkins' life, Ivan has pieced together the main experiences of Hawkins' more than two decades of life.

Born in a middle-class family, he belonged to a wealthy family with at least an upper-middle-income income in the Kingdom of Ilia.

Moreover, as the captain of a merchant ship, his father was also a respectable and respectable profession in the age of great voyages.

Hawkins himself is also excellent. When he was studying, he was also a famous figure in the Plantagenet Business School of the Kingdom of Elijah where the geniuses gathered, and he was able to receive a full scholarship every year.

After graduating, he directly entered the kingdom's leading private business organization, worked at the Egret Chamber of Commerce, a typical representative of emerging aristocrats, and had a beautiful lover who had reached the point of discussing marriage.

It can be called a happy life winner!

Then everything was destroyed by an accident.

As the captain of the Egret Chamber of Commerce, his father disappeared into the vast Black Sea with his ship during an ocean trade with the New World.

In terms of the search and rescue conditions of this era, disappearance and death can already be directly equated.

Then, before Hawkins and his mother recovered from the great grief.

Hawkins, who also worked in the Egret Chamber of Commerce, was fired directly because of the huge losses his father caused to the Chamber of Commerce.

At the same time, the management also took away the house that their family had lived in for many years and the two shops that his father had accumulated through life and death, in the name of his father's outstanding loan from the chamber of commerce.

Hawkins has long known that the Egret Chamber of Commerce has always acted domineeringly with the back of Earl Wright, and those who dare to oppose them in the Kingdom of Elijah will never end well.

They didn't feel much in the past, but when this kind of domineering object really fell on their heads, they realized the helplessness and despair in it.

Soon, the sweetheart who was originally talking about marriage also left Hawkins for lame reasons and fell into the arms of others.

Moreover, it is no longer possible for an employee who has been dismissed by the Egret Chamber of Commerce to get a new job from any chamber of commerce, company, or other business organization in Ilia.

As a last resort, Hawkins could only take his mother to the countryside and live in his uncle's house.

But Hawkins, who has ideals and ambitions and has seen the outside world, is not willing to accept his fate and become a farmer, guarding a few acres of wheat fields to live.

At this moment, an astonishing piece of news, like the dawn of dawn, instantly illuminated his extremely troubled life.

In view of the situation in the New World.

The Tulip Alliance issued a call to encourage the citizens of the Alliance to launch a privateering operation against Cyrus!

At the same time, the hero "White Knight" who successfully robbed the golden post road of Cyrus and won a lot of wealth for himself was also imprinted in Hawkins' heart with a radiant image of breaking all power.

How similar is the mighty Sirius, who is crushing the countries under him, and the Egret Chamber of Commerce, which dominates the kingdom of Ilia? !

So with the desire for wealth and the pursuit of idol footsteps, Hawkins resolutely embarked on an ocean-going merchant ship to the New World.

Finally came to Ai Wen.

"Although Hawkins himself didn't pay much attention to it, the Egret Chamber of Commerce seems to have other tricks."

After piecing together Hawkins' complete biography, Ivan thought about it.

At this time, the emerging aristocratic forces led by the Egret Chamber of Commerce, in addition to normal development, are still using various means to desperately embezzle Ilya's national property.

Mines, woodlands, farmlands, national industries, colonial resources and even the Royal Central Bank of Ilia.

The voracious appetite is never-ending, and it's even more daring!

At least the title "Storm and Sea Tide", the guardian of the kingdom of Ilia, is not dead yet, and if a new titled knight is born in the kingdom in the past few years, are they ready to end up?

but.

Ivan also found in Hawkins' memory that Wright's subordinates had many strange people with bluish-white complexion and cold temperament as if they could freeze people to death.

He guessed that maybe these guys were the reliance of the emerging nobles.

Although Hawkins, who has the inheritance of extraordinary swordsmanship but is no more than an apprentice, may not be able to recognize who those people are, but Ivan and Milan can easily see their essence.

It was a group of ghouls in human form!

Got the answer I wanted.

The foggy gray robes on the two people spread instantly, and their bodies wrapped around them disappeared into Hawkins' dream.

However, in the shallow dream, only one bird monster disappeared with them, and the other was left here by Ivan.

In Aiwen's residence in the real world, the two people sitting on the sofa slowly opened their eyes, while the brewed coffee on the table was still warm.

Ivan picked up his cup and took a sip:

"Although this guy's experience is unexpectedly rich, there is really no problem. The most important thing is that he has outstanding ability and great potential. As my agent, he should be competent."

"Your own industry, you have the final say.

However, the results of divination show that the chariot is in the right position, young man, talented, and successful in his career, he should be a good supporter. "

Milan opposite him was quickly switching a deck of tarot cards, and gave his own divination results from the perspective of a prophet.

Before that, because the speed of rise was too fast.

The only civilian department under Aiwen is the command room of the privateer fleet. As the command center, it is also the place under his strictest control.

Because the command room inevitably has to exercise the privileges enjoyed by the privateer fleet and manage the core secrets of the privateer fleet.

Although most of them don't know the true identity of the "White Knight", they all know that the head of the group must have a profound background and is inextricably linked with the Tulip official.

After getting back from Yuanfan that day, Aiwen had concealed the sensitive parts of the establishment draft of the Mercury Trading Company, and handed it to the civilian staff in the command room for them to help him improve it.

In this level of business cooperation, after the two parties have reached an agreement on the general direction, there are still countless details that need to be revised one by one.

Otherwise, when it comes to the actual implementation of the project, they will inevitably face countless buck-passing, which will destroy the friendship and tacit understanding that the two parties have finally established.

It's better to finalize the details before actually signing the contract, so as to ensure that future cooperation can proceed smoothly and orderly.

And Aiwen, who has no one in his hand, can only hand over the draft that uses A and B to refer to both parties to his command room.

Of course, most of the civilian staff who can come to join the privateer fleet are not good people.

Although they have been carefully selected, there are also "talents" from all walks of life, such as accountants who made false accounts, company clerks who beat up their bosses, bankrupt businessmen, and so on.

If there were really talented people, they wouldn't have gotten to this point and came under the command of the privateer fleet. After all, this is not the place where business talents like banks, consortiums, chambers of commerce, etc. should go.

For most of them, the limit of ability is probably to manage the "Dragon Cavalry Pirates" with more than 2,000 people.

So it is conceivable that even with the personal order of the head, they are really full of lice and have nowhere to start when facing such a draft.

But just when they wanted to ask the head of the group to hire someone else, they turned around.

Hawkins, who had just joined the "Dragoon Pirates" and was promoted to the command room because of his expertise in literacy and numeracy, easily straightened out the draft.

Members of the board of directors, policy management plan, executive personnel, business scope, rights and obligations of both parties, composition of the management team, office location.

It took only one day to come up with a complete and detailed plan, and put forward targeted suggestions even where the actual situation was unknown.

Although this kind of business cooperation case is far less complicated than the modern society with prosperous business, it is amazing enough to be able to sort out such documents easily, at least not worse than the Marquis' staff.

Of course, such a talent attracted Ivan's attention at the first time, and only then did he have the prying eyes in the previous dream.

At this time, add one, the ex-employees are familiar with the internal affairs of the Egret Chamber of Commerce, and Aiwen has secretly made a decision.

Early the next morning.

Hawkins, who had just woken up, was urgently summoned to the head's office.

However, when he carefully arranged his appearance, Hawkins, who was full of joy and thought that he was about to meet his idol, strode into the head's office with his head held high.

But he didn't see the expected White Knight, instead, there was another big man who was famous in the tulip countries waiting for him in the room, a big man who should never appear here under normal circumstances!

At first sight, Hawkins almost collapsed on the ground with his legs limp.

Because it was a tall young naval officer holding a gilt command knife and wearing a brigadier uniform.

Just simply standing there, looking at him with a pair of eyes, gave him a huge pressure like a mountain.

Although Hawkins had never seen the appearance of the young brigadier general, the official newspapers and even the tabloids within the alliance were full of news about this adult during this time.

That was the youngest commodore of the Tulip Alliance, who was born in his home country of Ilia but belonged to the military department of the Kingdom of Phalatis—General Ivan Garriott!

Reminiscent of the leader of the group, Mr. White Knight, who clearly called him to come over but was nowhere to be seen, Hawkins, who was already extremely smart, had already guessed the truth in an instant.

"Could it be."

Afterwards, Hawkins, who suppressed his excitement, heard the voice of heaven from the mouth of this adult, as if in a dream:

"Mr. Hawkins, in the name of Baron Garriott, Knight of the Gods, Brigadier General of the Kingdom, Deputy Chief of the Kingdom Garrison in the New World, and Commander of the privateer fleet of the 'Dragoons', I invite you."

"I am willing, Your Excellency, I am willing to do anything!"

Hawkins was already full of excitement, knelt down on one knee and bowed his head deeply.

Hawkins, who originally wanted to make a fortune and get ahead, joined the most famous "Dragon Cavalry Pirates" who also held a tulip privateer license.

In addition to the idol factor, of course I want to quickly complete the accumulation of the first pot of gold.

Then take this wealth and use your knowledge to join the surging tide of industry and commerce.

He has vaguely seen an opportunity from the current situation, an opportunity to stand in the wind and let pigs fly.

How did Hawkins ever think that the heroic White Knight was actually the youngest Brigadier General of Tulip? And he can get the blue eyes of such a big man?

The power in the hands of the adults is basically all up and down!

This is also the opportunity that every businessman dreams of, even if he desperately wants to seize it, he is willing to be a servant even if he is on the saddle.

The original idea of ​​being a smuggler disappeared in an instant. If you choose that path, you may succeed, but if you hold this lord's thigh tightly, you have already succeeded!

Seeing that the solicitation is going well this time, Aiwen can't help showing a smile, what is the most precious thing in the big era? Of course it is talent!

"Very well, from now on you are the retainer of the Garriott family and the brigadier general's aide. You will start work today, is there any problem!"

Standing up straight, Hawkins blushed with excitement, and replied loudly with all his strength:

"Not at all, Your Excellency!"

Ivan glanced at him, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Very imposing, but now you can salute me, Major Hawkins!"

"ah?"

Hearing that noun, Hawkins' heart beat heavily, and he was so happy that he almost passed out.

In the Phalatis Kingdom, the Brigadier General rank can already appoint a certain number of attendants on their own. The highest civil servant can be a major, and the highest military officer is a captain, and the salary is borne by the Navy Department.

And because of Ivan's words, Hawkins has broken out of the cocoon and turned into a butterfly, and he is no longer a penniless commoner who is bullied by others.
