Since he dares to become a sailor, it is impossible that he cannot swim.
Although everyone was exhausted from the fierce battle just now, the location where the Blood Sail was parked was not far from the dock, and these people still had the strength to swim aboard.
Especially when they saw the blood-red sails of the Blood Sail, they knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to board this terrifying legendary battleship, and it was obviously impossible for them to give up on this last step.
Therefore, not long after Chen Mo stepped on the deck, the dozen sailors he had recruited climbed onto the deck of the Blood Sail one after another and stood in front of Chen Mo.
"Captain, where are the others on the ship?" Standing in front of Chen Mo, Norrington felt that since he was the first mate, he should at least get to know his crew members.
He could tell that the Bloodsail was a third-class battleship. According to the standards of the British Navy, there should be at least several hundred sailors on board to ensure the normal operation of the ship and the firepower output in battle.
In the Royal Navy, third-class battleships usually have 400 to 700 sailors depending on the number of guns they are equipped with. Even when docking at night, there will be at least a dozen sailors on deck to keep watch. This is
It's the same on every sailboat.
However, now, there was no one else on board the Bloodsail except them. This obviously did not conform to Norrington's understanding of a ship.
"The Blood Sail is a magic ship. It does not need people to control it. Recruiting you is for other purposes." Chen Mo did not explain to Norrington, but just said to him: "No one is allowed to enter the ship except the captain's room.
Except, the rest of the place is now under your control, first mate, and you can take care of everything."
After saying that, Chen Mo walked towards the captain's cabin. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back to look at Norrington and said to him: "Jack is a little girl. Arrange a cabin for her, so she doesn't have to deal with these things."
The sailors slept on the deck together."
"Yes, Captain." Norrington quickly got into the role, nodded seriously, and began to assign cabins to the dozen sailors, and explained to them the rules on the ship in accordance with the standards of the Royal Navy.
In fact, there is no easy allocation of cabins, because even the navies of various countries do not have many cabins. Except for the captain, only the first mate and a very small number of officers on the ship may enjoy the benefits of sleeping in cabins.
Most sailors sleep in hammocks pulled up on the deck. They pull the hammocks out to sleep at night and put them away during the day to work.
And sleeping on a ship in this era is by no means a comfortable thing.
If it is a merchant ship, it may be better, because the cabin is sealed and will not be invaded by sea wind and waves. There are no other problems except that you may not be able to escape when the ship sinks.
But it would be a pity if it is a naval warship, because the decks of the warship are all gun emplacements, which are connected to the outside, and the sea breeze will blow in along these gun emplacements.
Although the gun positions can be closed, there are still gaps for sea breeze to get in, making the entire cabin damp and cold.
Especially for those on the bottom deck, although it is above the waterline, if the wind and waves are slightly stronger, the waves will hit directly along the muzzle of the gun.
Therefore, some people are willing to sleep in the cargo hold below the waterline. At least it is sealed there and the situation is not that bad.
However, it obviously doesn't have to be so miserable on the Bloodsail, because there are only a dozen sailors in such a large ship. After Norrington simply assigned the positions and arranged their living quarters, he took Jack towards the bottom of the deck.
and walked to the cabin.
Jack was placed in an officer's cabin. Instead of going to his own cabin to rest, he came to the door of the captain's cabin and knocked on the door.
Although Chen Mo told him not to enter the captain's room, Norrington felt that as the first mate, he should at least report the current situation of the ship to the captain and ask for instructions on the next movement of the Blood Sail. In addition, Norrington also needs to report to the captain.
Apply for a grant to purchase supplies and supplies.
After all, he had just checked inside the cabin and found that there were no reserves of food and water in the cabin, and they had to be replenished.
As the first mate on the ship, these things are all his duties.
The door to the captain's cabin quickly opened, and Chen Mo reappeared in front of Norrington: "What's the matter?"
"Captain, where are we going next? If we are going on a long voyage, the food and fresh water on the ship need to be replenished." Norrington reported to Chen Mo seriously, performing his duties as first mate.
Hearing what Norrington said, Chen Mo realized that he was not the only one on this ship, the sailors also needed to eat.
Although the purpose of the dozen sailors brought back by Chen Mo was not to let them serve as sailors on this ship, it was obvious that they could not just starve to death, especially as there were Norrington and the man named Jack.
Little girl, he still thinks highly of these two people.
So after thinking about it, Chen Mo returned to the captain's cabin, took out a bag of coins, and threw it to Norrington.
"The Black Pearl should be coming to Tetuga in the next two days. I want to meet Jack Sparrow, the legendary figure in the Caribbean." Chen Mo noticed that when he said these words, Norrington
The expression on his face changed instantly, and it was obvious that his hatred for Jack Sparrow had penetrated deep into his bones.
This made Chen Mo very interested. If things did not develop according to the original plot, would Norrington kill Jack Sparrow?
The current Norrington is obviously completely different from the embarrassed drunkard who was thrown into the pig pen in the movie. Now he is the first mate of the Blood Sail and has regained hope of getting everything back. Chen Mo is curious about what happened.
In such a situation, what would he do?
He asked when he thought of it. Chen Mo looked at Norrington and asked him: "You can be said to be where you are now because of Jack Sparrow. Do you hate him?"
"I can't wait to hang him with my own hands!" Norrington seemed to be gritting his teeth, but he still suppressed his anger and hatred and said respectfully to Chen Mo: "Of course, Captain, if you want to save his life, I can control myself
However, I suggest you hang him directly, and I am willing to slit his throat with my own hands."
"Although I don't mind giving you a chance for revenge, for now, it's still useful for me to keep Jack Sparrow alive." Chen Mo shook his head slightly, obviously not intending to kill Jack before finding the soul-gathering coffin.
Sparrow killed him, but he still comforted Norrington: "Of course, I will give you a fair fight with him and a chance for revenge, but before that, I hope you can be patient."
