Chapter 1463: Chapter 29: Negotiation (Final) (Part 6)
Although the naval infantry is trained under the supervision of Da Weineta corps officers, the training subjects differ greatly from the army units.
For example, naval infantry completely abandoned the super long spear, replacing it with short spears and sailors’ knives.
Additionally, every naval infantry must learn to use explosives and toss grenades.
In the army, usually only specific types of soldiers receive such training.
The smallest military unit of naval infantry is also adapted from “battalion” to “boat” for water.
A boat consists of thirteen people, just enough to fill a large boat.
To be more precise, the opposite should be said—because a large boat can hold thirteen people, a naval infantry “boat” consists of thirteen people.
On the battery outside Red Sulfur Harbor, General Antonio Serviati was using a telescope to observe in the direction of the harbor.
On the harbor’s surface, countless large boats were chasing each other, heading towards the battery, even blocking the channel of Red Sulfur Harbor completely.
Unlike the oarsn on paddle sailboats, naval infantry doesn’t shout slogans or use drumming while paddling; every soldier on a large boat rely paddles in silence, relying on tacit understanding to maintain rhythm and unison.
Soon, the large boats rushed onto the beach one after another.
The naval infantry swiftly leapt over the ship’s side, dragging gear out from inside the boat, and donned armor on site —this is also a point of technical improvent that distinguishes naval infantry from the army.
In no ti, the naval infantry transford from wearing plain clothes to fully ard.
Neatly equipped crew mbers of each boat then lifted a series of special ladders out of the boat.
This type of ladder is modified from the “Crow’s Suspension Bridge” on paddle sailboats, with iron hooks at the top to bite into wood or jam into stone crevices.
The naval infantry’s “Crow’s Suspension Bridge” was further modified, adding clips at both ends so ladders can be connected if necessary.
The team that assembled the ladders first carried them and raced towards the battery where Antonio was.
Finally, they were also the first to climb up the battery, becoming today’s champions and earning glory, as well as extra als.
Antonio did not speak, only nodded.
However, the adjutants around knew, this is trendous recognition.
It seems the corps’ performance today made the lieutenant general quite satisfied.
Antonio put down the telescope and gestured. The surrounding officers saluted, disbanded on the spot, and each went about their business.
Waiting for everyone else to leave, Colonel Sebastian Wobang sidled up to General Serviati.
“Recently,” Colonel Wobang cautiously said, “‘Imperial Palace’ has had so unfavorable rumors about you.”
“Ha,” Antonio Serviati laughed, “when haven’t there been unfavorable rumors about ? No need to remind again, Colonel.”
Below the battery, the naval infantry who completed their training subjects lifted the large boats and walked into the seawater.
This ti, while paddling, they could sing aloud:
“We’re about to set sail, and our target is Golden Harbor!
“Heyyo! Heyyo!”
“The sail ropes are long! Wrap them round and round the winch!
“Good morning! Golden Harbor girls!”
“When we truly arrive at Golden Harbor!
“Heyyo! Heyyo!”
“We’ll have a great drunken spree and never be sad again!
“Good morning! Golden Harbor girls!”
“Tanilia girls, beautiful and wanton
“Heyyo! Heyyo!”
“We’ll spend all our rewards on them!
“Good morning! Golden Harbor girls!”
“We will roam daylong, falling in love.
“Heyyo! Heyyo!”
On the battery, Lieutenant General Serviati also quietly humd along:
“Until we embark on our return journey, back to Sea Blue holand.”
