Another World: Naval Storm

Leo is still working at the dock these days, at least he can fill his stomach for the time being.

Vincent walked up to Leo and whispered, "Leo, I just joined the union. Do you want to join? We workers should unite to fight for our rights."

After saying that, he pointed at the pot-bellied foreman Dim in the distance and said, "Look at him, he's living a comfortable life by exploiting us."

In 1889, there was a general strike in the Drake Empire. The rise of trade unions made the nobles and capitalists panic. The Drake Empire government, led by them, suppressed the trade union movement. Now, a few years have passed, and trade unions and the proletarian movement have begun to rise again. However, Leo has no interest in it. Revolution always results in casualties, and he is not suitable for the political struggle of intrigue.

"I just received an admission letter from the Kerry Naval Academy. Vincent, you also know the rules of the navy..."

"I know all the military rules..." Vincent couldn't hide his disappointment on his face.

Vincent is a good man. Leo just came to the dock to work and didn't know anything. Vincent taught him a lot of things and took care of him. Leo didn't want Vincent to die in the parade or linger in prison, so he reminded him implicitly, "Stay away from politics. People from the military should keep traditions and live their own lives."

"Leo, I joined the union to protect my own rights. Look, the laws restricting unions have been repealed. Unions are no longer illegal organizations. Even the Social Democratic Party can participate in the parliamentary elections and become the largest party!" Vincent was very excited. "By the way, congratulations to you. When you graduate, you will be an officer, which is much better than being a private in the army."

As he was talking, Leo saw a fishing boat coming into the harbor. The old hull was covered with barnacles, and the wooden deck was full of holes of all sizes. People had to be careful not to sprain their ankles when they walked by. That was the Monongahela where old Frank worked. The stubborn old navy man finally came back, and Leo, who had endured until now, could finally have a good rest for a few days.

This time the fishing catch was very good and Frank received a lot of rewards. When he returned home, old Frank and Mia discussed Leo's future.

The stubborn old navy man couldn't resist the persuasion of his seriously ill wife, "Leo, when Mia gets better, you can go to Platinum University. It's a good thing to have a civilized person in the family." On the table were all the family savings. The banknotes and coins together were just enough to cover one year's tuition.

The Drake Empire advocates the use of military force to seize territory under the sun, and has long lived in an environment of iron-blooded romanticism. Frank is a rigid and stubborn person, and it is difficult to make him yield. The rare gentle and soft words make him feel a little embarrassed.

"No need, Mom and Dad." This was the first time Leo called them since he traveled through time. His identity as a time traveler made him feel an indescribable sense of alienation. Under the influence of old Frank and Mia's pure love, he finally said it today. After saying it, Leo felt relieved.

Leo didn't want to add any more burden to Frank. He was already old. The wind and waves on the sea made him look older than his actual age. His joints often ached on rainy days. And Mia was sick. It was impossible for Leo to abandon them to live the so-called ideal life.

"Frank, I want to go to Carey Naval Academy and join the Imperial Navy! At least the food in the Navy is pretty good!" Between family and future, he chose family. He would regret it if anything happened to either Mia or old Frank.

[System functions are loading] The machine voice sounded in my mind.

[Congratulations Commander for making the right choice]

【Wish the Commander to conquer the world】

【Commander, please enroll as soon as possible】

[Starting the Navy Journey]

The voice that suddenly popped up in his mind startled him, and he comforted Mia, telling her that the military academy was not bad, it was close to home and he could go home often. Leo hid in his own small space. He had read many time-travel novels in his previous life. Those who got the system were all dragons who were powerful and could destroy the world. There were also stories about beautiful sisters falling in love with me, which made Leo very excited.

"System, system?"

[Hello, dear commander, this system is the Navy Rise System, and its main responsibility is to help the host become a famous naval general.]

"What abilities do you have? Can you cultivate immortality? Do you have any techniques to make people live forever?" In the previous life, the dream of every Chinese person was to cultivate immortality, and Leo was no exception.

[Sorry Commander, this world is a technological world, the system can only assist the Commander's growth]

"Do you have a mall or something? What can I buy? Medicine? Food? Ammunition? Soldiers?"

[The system mall is not open yet, and the goods cannot be living things. The items in the mall can only be exchanged for merit points, and the merit points are settled after each battle]

Thinking of the sick Mia, "System, other systems have novice gift packs. When will my novice gift pack arrive?"

[The system does not have a gift package]

"System, we are not brothers, but we traveled through time together, so we are still from the same hometown. Please at least give me some medicine. Even though many time travelers have miserable life experiences and are without parents, please give me some medicine for my sake. I'll beg you, brother." Leo was really shameless.

[…System logic…is in disarray…]

"Brother, are you broken? My success depends on you, you can't get into trouble!"

[The system has no gender] The system uttered this sentence after a long while.

Just when Leo wanted to continue to entangle the system, a pill appeared out of thin air in front of Leo.

"System, can this medicine cure Mia?" Mia suffered from various illnesses. Leo knew that it was difficult to treat even in her previous life when medical care was advanced, so he was a little skeptical about the effectiveness of this little pill.

[Products from the system mall are of high quality, please rest assured, Commander]

[This is the only reward before the commander reaches the conditions to open the system mall]

"System, did you take kickbacks? You are too stingy."

[The system says it doesn’t want to pay attention to you] It’s also a little bit arrogant.

[The system is silent, please rest as soon as possible, Commander]

Leo stayed awake all night and kept talking to the air, but the system no longer paid any attention to him. If the pill was not still in Leo's hand, he would have thought it was a dream.

The pills obtained from the system were mixed with the usual medicines and Mia was asked to take them. On the day Dick reported to the military academy, Mia was able to get out of bed.

"God bless me, my piety must have touched the Lord, so that I can see Dick get married and have children one day!" Mia was very excited and attributed everything to her faith. She planned to donate to the church after she recovered. It seemed that the wealth accumulated by old Frank was even thinner.

Mia secretly put some gold marks in Dick's luggage. A mother is always afraid that her children will not have enough money and suffer outside, so she would rather work harder herself.
