Chapter 105 [Back to Europe] Three days passed quickly. The repairs of all large ships have been completed. The huge hole in the Santa Maria was also repaired with third-level ship materials. , the navy's recruitment has also begun, but Li Si has no time to take care of the navy's recruitment. Columbus had returned to Europe three days early. Lis had to speed up and deliver a batch of artillery and ammunition to the American Republic before the Spanish Empire's fleet arrived. In three days, he packed all the smelted gold into boxes. Prepared for return to Europe to purchase firearms. "Put all these on the ship!" Li Si directed the sailors to load boxes of gold onto the ship. In addition to the Aris and the Santa Maria, Li Si also deployed three large ships to Loading cargo, five ships formed a small fleet. "Tu Tut, come here!" Li Si returned to Europe this time and brought Tu Tut with him. After the construction of Tu Tut in Teotihuacan was completed, Li Si strictly ordered Tu Tut to learn ship driving. Until now, He has basically learned the essentials of ship driving that Li Si told him, and he also understands some things about navigation. "Take this chart first and study it carefully. After a while, you can sail the Santa Maria!" Li Si handed Tutu a hand-drawn chart of the eastern coast of North America and the Caribbean Sea. It was a nautical chart hand-drawn by Li Si based on his nautical charts. "But, sir, I, I can't do it alone!" Tutu said anxiously, and then his voice was full of excitement: "Sir, I, are we really going to the mainland on the other side of the sea?" "Of course, You must study hard and practice well on this voyage! Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve assigned you a first mate on the Santa Maria.¡± Li Si patted Tutu¡¯s shoulder: ¡°I hope you can stand alone as soon as possible!¡± Yes! Thank you, sir!" Tutu bowed gratefully to Li Si. "Moore!" At this moment, Justine's voice came from behind Li Si. Li Si turned around, looked at Justine walking towards her, and said with a hint of guilt: "We will return to Europe soon. I think Professor Hutton must be anxious!" "Yes, I haven't seen my father for so long. "Just" Justine said a little depressed, "My father will definitely blame me when I go back this time." "We are going back soon, have we packed everything?" Li Si asked, looking at her empty hands. road. "Hey, there it is!" Justine pointed in one direction. "Let me tell you, why can't I find their people for a long time!" Li Si looked at Warren, Kaza and Kafei who were each carrying a big box with a smile. "So you asked them to move the box! But, you This is a lot!" Li Si looked at Justine teasingly. "Not much!" Justine pouted, sniffed her pretty little nose, and hummed: "These are all gifts given to me. I have pushed them a lot, otherwise, your boat You can¡¯t even fit my gift!¡± Li Si scratched the bridge of Justine¡¯s nose, ¡°Hurry up and get on the boat!¡± Justine snorted and walked around Li Si. , walking towards the Aris with hands behind his back. "Haha" Li Si laughed. "Sir, I'm going to board the Santa Maria first!" Tutut said to Li Si after Justine left. "Okay, after you get on the ship, you can learn from the first mate. That first mate is a very experienced first mate!" Li Si explained to Tutut. "I will! Sir!" The first mate on the Santa Maria was one of the prisoners of Columbus's fleet. He had more than ten years of experience in European offshore navigation, and had successfully followed Columbus through the storm area. Under Li Si's intimidation, Under the inducement, he joined Li Si's fleet. In addition to this first mate, Li Si also spent a lot of money to instigate a large number of prisoners to rebel. Anyone who can surrender in a naval battle is a person who understands current affairs. Between the butcher knife and gold given by Li Si, smart people know what to do. choose. Of course, there were a few die-hards who demanded that they be treated like prisoners of war. Li Si was too lazy to talk nonsense and just asked people to drag them down and chop them down. Among this group of prisoners, there was one person that Lis particularly wanted to conquer. He was Finn Blanc. Unfortunately, this Finn Blanc was worthy of being a baron pirate known for his loyalty. He was able to kill Esconte after his death. The fact that he continues to avenge Esconte shows his loyalty. If he can obtain his allegiance, then Li Si will have a helper that he can rely on with confidence. Unfortunately, until now, Lis has not succeeded in gaining the allegiance of Finn Blanc, but Lis did not give up. He put Blanco under house arrest and ordered the sailors to entertain him well. He would chat with Blanco every day , to bring the relationship closer to each other.  "Apache! Come here!" Li Si called Apache over. "Sir, what are your orders?" Apache came over and saluted. "I'm about to go to Europe. I don't have time to train the navy, so I can only leave it to you. I will also leave these ships to you," Li Si pointed at the densely packed ship lanes on Lake Gatun. : "I hope that when I come back, you can lead an outstanding navy to greet me!" "Please rest assured, sir, Apache will definitely live up to your expectations!" Apache said loudly. "Haha, okay!" Li Si laughed and patted Apache on the shoulder. With the Apache around, Li Si can feel more at ease with the navy. As long as he has the navy firmly in his hands and the reputation of the American Republic, he can use the American Republic as a base and then kill them. Quartet. At this moment, Warren walked up to Li Si and leaned over to report to Li Si: "Master, the goods have been loaded on the ship!" "Oh!" Li Si's meditation was interrupted, and he looked at the preparations and was about to set sail. fleet, "It's all ready. After the high priest and the others come to say goodbye, we will set off!" "Yes! Master!" Warren said, then stood behind Li Si, waiting for the arrival of the high priest and the others with Li Si. . After a while, the high priest came from a distance with the elders of the Senate. The senators still needed Li Si's help in transporting firearms, and they couldn't do too much. They all came when Li Si was about to sail back to Europe. See you off at the dock. "Sorry, Consul Moore! We're late!" When the high priest walked up to Li Si, he apologized first. "It's okay, High Priest, you guys came just in time. I'm getting ready to set sail!" Li Si smiled and said, "When I return to Europe this time, I will buy a batch of firearms first. Next, America will welcome a large number of Europeans. Most of them come with hostility, but there are also some who come with friendship. This requires more consideration from the high priest! " "Well, you already said this yesterday, I will consider it!" The priest nodded: "You must be more careful during this voyage. The future of the Republic cannot be separated from you!" "Elders, don't worry, I have brought enough gold this time. When I return to Europe, I can exchange it for firearms and cannons. I will recruit a few instructors to teach our army how to use firearms!" Li Si patted his chest and said loudly to the elders of the Senate: "Then we will set sail now, and the elders will need to worry more about domestic affairs! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Consul, the empire will be fine as long as we are here!¡± ¡°Yes, Consul, you must leave early and come back early!¡± The elders told each other to let Li Si rest assured that the country would be safe soon! Go and come back early! "Okay, I've taken note of what the elders said, and I'm getting ready to leave now. Say goodbye!" Li Si said goodbye to the elders with fists in his hands, and took Warren aboard the Aris. "Unmoor!" "Raise the sail!" "Sail!" With the sailors' loud trumpets, a fleet of five ships slowly left the Teotihuacan Pier. , ;
