As the morning sun shone on the port, General Berger got up early. He practiced sword skills for a while according to his usual habits, and then came to his own exclusive restaurant to enjoy his Roman breakfast, a pork jelly and a large amount of fruits and vegetables. For a soldier, this kind of breakfast with meat and fruits is the most suitable.

Berger was a general of the Holy Roman Empire, and was a general of the Holy Roman Empire. Because the Holy Roman Empire is now divided into two parts, controlled by Henry IV's two sons Condra and Henry Little. They both claimed that they were the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, which led to the empire being divided into two parts, and they both accused each other of being heresy. As a result, no one can figure out which part is the real Holy Roman Empire.

Among them, Henry Little ruled the northern part of the Holy Roman Empire, and received support from the royal family of all and large and small in China. Condra ruled the Italian region and the southern part of the Holy Roman Empire, and was supported by the Holy Roman Empire. Behind it, Berger belonged to the naval generals under Condra and commanded all the naval armies around Rome. This was also the most powerful naval army under Condra. However, although Berger belonged to Condra's subordinates, he actually belonged to the Holy See. If Condra wants to command, he must be authorized by the Holy See, otherwise Berger would not obey anyone's orders.

After enjoying his rich breakfast, Berger walked out of his mansion and came to the military camp. As the commander of the navy, he naturally had to enjoy some privileges, otherwise how could he reflect his authority? So he not only did not live in the military camp, but also had a special residence, and the mansion was also equipped with special chefs, servants, etc., which could be said to be extremely luxurious.

Although Berger ruled the naval army near Rome, Rome was still a distance away from the sea, so his naval camp was actually stationed in a port called Civitavecchia. This is the most important and earliest port near Rome. It is said that as early as when the Roman Empire was just established BC, it was already the most important port in Rome.

Like most ports, most of the ports are civilian ports. However, on one side of the port is a military port, that is, the naval army camp. Except for the naval warships under Berger, no other ships are allowed to enter it.

After Berger arrived at the naval camp, he found that his soldiers had already gotten up early and were practicing on their respective warships, which made him nodded with satisfaction. He was the chief general of the naval army, but he usually only formulated the naval army's drill methods. As for the specific training matters, there were naturally other officers responsible.

"Boom" With a neat sound of trumpets, a warship that was two or three times larger than other warships suddenly emerged, squeezing out other warships that were being trained to both sides. This made many soldiers on the ship stand unsteadily, and many people fell directly into the sea. As a result, the people on the warship laughed. Although the soldiers who were hit and disembarked showed an angry look, no one dared to say anything.

Seeing the warship that was rushing around in the training area of ​​the military port, Berger not only did not stop him, but also showed a doting look. Because the officer who lost this warship was his beloved son, he usually used the classic three-sized warship in his navy. However, in order to show his favor for his son, Berger spent a lot of money to build this five-sized warship for him, several times larger than the usual three-sized warship. Although the degree has not been improved, his defense has increased greatly. So for the safety of his son, Berger asked someone to build the five-sized warship as a flagship.

Roman warships inherited the ancient Greeks and have always used traditional three-oat warships. These warships extend three rows of oars on each side, with nearly thirty oars in each row. Each person controls one oar, so that nearly two hundred soldiers used to row on the ship alone have to be built in a narrow and long manner.

There are mainly reasons why the Romans used oars as power rather than sailing power. First, using oars as power can increase the degree of warships to the highest degree in a short period of time, and the degree is faster than ordinary sailing warships. Second, it is because the Romans generally operate in the narrow Mediterranean, and all naval battles almost exploded in the Mediterranean, and there is no need to sail for a long time. This also makes their warships not need to consider the issue of endurance when designing them. Therefore, in this case, boats driven by oars are obviously more competitive than sailing warships.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Rome used oar warships for generations. Although sailing ships have appeared, they are generally used for civilian or ocean-going ships. There was a period when Rome simply pursued multi-sized warships, which made more and more slurry seats, and even eighteen-slurry warships appeared. However, at this time, the Romans discovered that the more slurry seats, the greater the weight of the ships, and the degree could not be improved. The best preparation was the three-slurry warships. So hundreds of years ago, Roman warships returned to their original designs and used three-slurry warships as standard warships. However, Berger broke the rules and made a five-slurry warship for his son. From this we can see his favor for this son.

The five-seater warship is very tall, almost several times that of the three-seater warship. The long oars extend out from both sides of the hull and quickly paddle through the crew's operation. Although the degree is a little slower than the three-seater warship and it is somewhat inconvenient to turn, it is better because the hull is tall and strong, and it is also equipped with heavy contact in front. If the three-seater warship fights it head-on, it will be almost only crushed. But if the three-seater warship uses its own flexibility to deal with it, the winner will be hard to say.

The people on the Wuji warship also saw Berger's arrival, and the warship rushed towards the dock where he was. Just when he was about to hit the dock, the Wuji warship suddenly rowed backwards, causing the degree to drop and stop, just like a brake on the ground, avoiding the fate of hitting the dock. It can be said that the operation was very exquisite, which also made Berger's hearty smile.

"Father, look at how I operate the warship. Isn't it particularly majestic?" At this moment, a young officer poked his head out from above and said to Berger with some pride. He was Berger's favorite son Yalic, only seventeen years old this year. He has been a naval general since he was a child. Moreover, he is indeed very talented in naval combat. This is also the main reason why Berger favors him, because their family has been naval generals for generations. Therefore, in Berger's view, Yalic is the most suitable candidate to inherit the family career.

"Yes, Yalic, your command is about to catch up with me!" Berger praised his son at the moment. He was not boasting. Among the few naval forces in the Holy Roman Empire, he could definitely be called the first person in the navy. Even the reason why their family has stood tall for many years was mainly because their family produced excellent naval generals.

Hearing his father's praise, Yalik was even more proud. He invited his father to board the ship, and then showed his command skills for the Five-Captain Warship again. Although he was young and energetic, he was indeed very talented in the command of the warship. In particular, the Five-Captain Warship had disappeared in the Mediterranean for many years and has suddenly appeared in the world. Even Berger was very surprised that Yalik was able to find out the command of such a warship in a short period of time.

Yalik commanded the Five-Seal Warship with great pride, and once again rushed among a group of short Three-Seal Warships, and then received a compliment from his father. However, Berger suddenly said, "Yalk, you have figured out the command of the Yalik now, so that the experience you have figured out can be written down so that other generals can learn and master the command of the Five-Seal Warships in the future!"

The name of the Five-Saturday Warship is also named after Yalic, which is naturally the hand of Berger who loves his son. However, his words made Yalic say unwillingly: "Father, I have figured out the command of the Five-Saturday Warship by myself bit by bit. Why do I let others know? Moreover, there is only one Five-Saturday Warship in our army. In addition to me, there is someone who wants to command such warships?"

Seeing Yalik unwillingly, Berger touched his head and said indulge indulgence: "Yalick, I didn't have time to tell you about this before. You also know that the sea overlords in the Mediterranean have always been the Eastern Roman Empire. Although our Holy Roman Empire inherited the throne of the Western Roman Empire and also in the territory and army, our navy is still unable to compare with them. Even the navy of the Seljuk Empire has surpassed us. Fortunately, their main enemy is the Eastern Roman Empire. Otherwise, our Rome would be in danger."

When he said this, Berger paused for a moment and then said: "Some time ago, the Seljuk Empire suddenly obtained advanced shipbuilding technology from the distant Eastern Empire and built a batch of very tall warships. The ships were equipped with many weapons and had excellent performance. They actually defeated the fleet of the Eastern Roman Empire in one fell swoop. For the new warships of the Seljuk Empire, after researching the Eastern Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire felt that if we wanted to deal with this new warship, our warships must be no smaller than the other party in size, so they have now begun to build the five-sized warships. Our Holy Roman Empire naturally cannot fall behind. Therefore, His Majesty Condra and His Majesty the Pope also decided to build the five-sized warships to avoid the gap between us and others."

"So that's the case. I thought that my father, you built the Yalic specifically for me, but I didn't expect that I just wanted me to explore the performance of this warship!" Yalic said unhappy when he heard this. He grew up under Berger's wings since he was a child and did not have much contact with the outside world, which also led to his childish personality.

"Haha, the operation of the five-sized warship is complicated. I see all the troops. Apart from myself, only you have this ability. Therefore, I handed over this arduous task to you. In addition, if you make such a great contribution, you will naturally be rewarded. In the future, there will be more five-sized warships, and you will not show your specialness. But this is nothing. At most, I can ask someone to build another warship of six-sized or even seven-sized warships. At that time, you will still be the most special officer in our navy!" Berger said with a doting look on his face again. In his opinion, his outstanding son is unique, so he has some "small" requirements.

Hearing his father's words, Yalik became very happy immediately. Not only did he agree to the experience of commanding the Yalik, but he also showed great coordination, which shocked the other generals around him. After all, Yalik's temperament was very clear. It was even harder for the other party to think of them than climbing to heaven.

Next, the father and son discussed some characteristics of the Wuji warship during command and combat. They also expressed their opinions on this and expressed their opinions on all aspects of the warship. In some places, they had the same opinions, and there were some debates in some places. However, this did not affect the overall situation, but instead made them have a better understanding of the performance of the Wuji warship.

Just as Berger and Yalik and his son were chatting, they descended from the five-seater warship and finally sailed out of the navy camp. Neither of them cared about this, because they had special features in the army, and entering the barracks at will was just one of them. At this time, Yalik suddenly said proudly: "Father, you said that the Seljuk Empire obtained new technology from the Eastern Empire and built some new tall warships. But I think our five-seater warship is already a very tall warship. It is impossible for their warships to surpass the five-seater warships, right?"

Hearing his son's question, Berger hesitated for a moment and said, "We have received very little information about the new warships of the Selshu Empire, so I cannot be sure whether the five-sized warships can be compared with their new warships. However, the five-sized warships are already the largest warships that our Roman Empire can build. As for the larger seven-sized warships, eight-sized warships, or even more than a dozen-sized warships, although they can also be built, they can no longer be considered warships. They can only be said to be mobile sea fortresses, and they are not very good at all. In terms of actual combat performance, they are not as good as the three-sized warships, so I think there is no longer a warship in this world that is larger than the five-sized warships!"

Berger also came up with his own experience and thus came up with a relatively "rational" judgment. However, as soon as he finished speaking, his son Yalic suddenly opened his eyes and opened his mouth, looking at the sea behind him with a dull look (To be continued.)
