Time Travel: Age of Discovery
Chapter 46 Alas, How Unfortunate
When the port guards heard that it was Lieutenant General Naiteya, they remained calm and said, "General, please wait a moment. I will report to the branch commander before you can let us go."
This place is very different from other branches that Teya has visited. In the past, the branch ports were unguarded, messy and disorganized, which was irritating to watch.
Teya returned the salute, looked around, and praised: "Colonel Weaver, this place is well governed. You have made an invaluable contribution."
"It is my duty, and I dare not slack off!"
Weaver did not show any complacency, as if all this was his responsibility.
Although this island is small and the naval base is not large, generals of Teya's level may rarely set foot here. Even if they have nothing to do here, no one will care.
However, as a navy officer, Weaver did not give in to corruption. His strict discipline was better than that of those who were higher in rank and in a better environment.
Teya sincerely respects such soldiers. There are many navy officers working silently at the grassroots level. These people are worthy of admiration and should be discovered.
When Weaver was told that they might stay for a few days, he ordered the soldiers to vacate a few rooms for them to live in and took the initiative to ask for instructions and report on his work.
Teya was about to ask Weaver, so they went to the office together.
Before leaving, Thea warned Tina and Smoker not to act on their own, and that if they wanted to visit the island, they must travel together.
With this permission, Tina grabbed Smoker's sleeve and ran out. Smoker looked slightly displeased.
After watching the two figures disappear, Teya turned around and followed them.
"Lieutenant General Teya, what is the purpose of this trip?"
"We'll discuss this later. Let me hear your opinion first."
……
At the island bazaar, Tina looked around curiously, occasionally stopping in front of the stalls to look at the dazzling array of goods with great interest.
"Women are so complicated."
Smoker put one hand in his pocket and scratched his head with the other, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Unexpectedly, Tina heard what Smoker said. She glanced at him with a little resentment, then snorted coldly and left the stall.
"Hey, you finally have some free time, why are you still the same?"
Tina, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke up, and Smoker responded without hesitation: "It's all because of what Teacher Teya mentioned. I actually wanted to go to Xifu Island. It's simply..."
"It's Fuxi Island, silly."
Smoker's mouth twitched slightly, but he continued:
"I don't know what Sensei Teja is planning, but I have a feeling there's a danger there, but it could also be a good opportunity for actual combat."
Tina was silent, turned her head and looked at Smoker, sighing softly: "Let's put it aside for now. This matter is not for us to decide. I am very much looking forward to it. With Teacher Teya here, why should I fear danger?"
"But in the end, you have to rely on yourself. You can't rely on others for your whole life..."
Before Smoker could finish his words, Tina grabbed his sleeve and ran away.
"There's a clothing store over there! Go check it out. Teacher Teya gave me some money, so I can buy some nice clothes!"
"You're almost ripping my sleeve! Wait, why didn't he give me any money?"
……
Inside the base office.
Two cups of hot tea were placed on the table, emitting wisps of steam.
"That's pretty much it."
Colonel Weaver finished speaking and picked up the teacup.
Teya sat in the chair, pondering the information he had just heard.
According to Weaver, many pirates have gone to Fuxi Island, and there are even pirate hunters, which can be seen from recent statistics.
In fact, the main responsibility of the navies of other islands is to protect the territory and the people. If the pirates are just passing by and not causing trouble, they usually will not take action.
But pirates will never be allowed to stay for long, especially those with a bounty on their heads.
Therefore, a tacit understanding has been formed between the navy and the pirates, which is: if no one offends me, I will not offend others.
Weaver's management of the island was limited to allowing pirates to dock and resupply, but that was the bottom line, and it had to be registered.
This act of tolerance actually made the pirates who came here behave themselves. After all, it was not easy to find a place for supplies, and they did not want to cause trouble for the navy for no reason.
However, simply checking in is a great way to gain insight into what's going on.
"Weaver, show me the information of the pirates that have been registered recently."
"As ordered."
Weaver quickly took out a stack of information from the cabinet and Teya looked through it. Sure enough, the number of pirates coming here had increased significantly since four days ago.
It seems that they all came for the treasure.
Teya put down the documents, a light bulb went off in his head, and he immediately stood up.
"If there are any new pirate ships or merchant ships, report them immediately."
Although Weaver was curious about Qitia's intention, it was not his place to ask, so he agreed immediately.
For him, this was a piece of cake.
……
The sea area not far from the island where Teya is located.
A warship came by, slightly damaged, as if it had just experienced a fierce battle.
"Major General Flying Squirrel, there is a naval base on the island ahead. You can rest there."
"Really? Great! Keep going."
A man with a short beard stood on the deck and finally smiled.
Speaking of this, the flying squirrel felt unlucky.
He was ordered to go out to sea on a mission, but encountered a strange storm and finally escaped danger.
If he encountered an enemy, the flying squirrel could still fight, but the natural disaster left him helpless.
Fortunately, the warship was damaged but no one was injured. The flying squirrel had to go to the nearby naval base to rest. After all, he still needed to deliver the spoils to the headquarters, and without a ship, the warship could only sail with difficulty. It was time to repair it.
"Alas, how unfortunate."
The outline of the island came into view, and the flying squirrel breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Thea was walking at the dock, looking at the naval soldiers who were busy carrying supplies, feeling worried.
We can’t abandon them here, how should we accommodate them?
Woohoo——
The sound of a whistle in the distance means that a ship is about to dock.
"Hmm? That warship...seems a little strange."
Teya looked at the slowly approaching warship and muttered to himself.
"Everyone is settled, eh? Teya!"
The warship arrived at the port, and the flying squirrel looked at Teya with surprise, who had the same expression.
Approaching Teya, the flying squirrel patted his shoulder and asked, "Why are you here? How can this be such a coincidence?"
Teya suddenly smiled mysteriously and hugged the flying squirrel.
"Yeah, how could it be such a coincidence?"
At this moment, the smiling flying squirrel had not yet realized that he had fallen into Teya's plan...
