"Captain, you're impressive!!"

Ma's eyes lit up, and his voice boomed as he quickly turned to the crew behind him and shouted, "The boss who owes us salary finally paid up, brothers!!"

Fang Yu: ...

This damn...

Is it necessary?!

Whatever.

Now's not the time to fuss over this stuff; Fang Yu threw these trivial matters to Ma, and he was ready to head to the Alchemist Association to purchase new enchantment services for the ship.

But just at that moment, a notification sound suddenly echoed through Fang Yu's panel:

"Congratulations Captain [Fang Yu], you have joined the South Sea Third Legion, military rank: D-Class Lieutenant (100/4000)."

"You have received legion bonuses: [Command Ship Enhancement], [Blade Growth]."

"Number of ships under command: 0/50."

Upon hearing the notification from the panel, Fang Yu's eyes brightened.

Kong Huaao's application approval came through?

His rank was also upgraded to officer grade.

Speaking of which, in his power level, there were two items that had reached D-level.

One was the power level of the Ji Clan Trading Association, and the other was the power level of the Duorong Federation military.

However...

Anyone could see that the power level of the Duorong Federation military carries much more weight than that of the Ji Clan Trading Association.

Now Fang Yu holds military power; he can legally and officially recruit troops for himself!

This is something that the small power level of the Ji Clan Trading Association can't compare with.

Fang Yu immediately prepared to click open the detailed introduction of the two legion bonuses.

But right at that moment, Kong Huaao's call timely reached Fang Yu's hand.

"Lieutenant Fang Yu, come to the military district, oh, not the military office, but the Qiyun Port Military Sub-Region; I'll give you the address, just come directly."

Kong Huaao spoke to Fang Yu on the phone.

"Yes, Sir!"

Fang Yu couldn't help wanting to call Mr. Kong, but after thinking it over, he decided to be honest.

Just received the rank, and jumping around like this might get him chastised by Kong Huaao; better wait until they're more familiar before calling him that.

After all, Kong Huaao is now truly Fang Yu's superior.

Being straightforward with the superior is always right.

...

With Kong Huaao's interruption, Fang Yu was in no hurry to look at the attributes of the two bonuses.

In a good mood, he hummed a tune all the way from the docks at Qiyun Port, following the address Kong Huaao gave him, and soon arrived at the military sub-region of Qiyun Port.

This military sub-region was moved to its current location at Qiyun Port with the military office after the alien chaos started.

As the navy's sub-region, this sub-region isn't far from the docks, and both are located close to the coast.

Fang Yu walked to the entrance and handed his initial officer's ID to the two soldiers standing guard at the entrance for a glance, and once confirmed, the two soldiers nodded to Fang Yu:

"Lieutenant Fang Yu, you can enter!"

Fang Yu took back the officer's ID, smiled slightly, and stepped directly into the military sub-region.

"Fang Yu, this way!"

In the distance, Kong Huaao seemed to be deliberately waiting for Fang Yu's arrival, and upon seeing Fang Yu, waved him over.

It seems that now Fang Yu has joined the Third Legion and is considered part of the team.

Kong Huaao, on the contrary, wasn't as courteous to Fang Yu anymore.

Previously, he always called him brother, seemingly friendly, but it was actually a bit of official politeness.

Now, he's simply calling Fang Yu by his name.

After hearing Kong Huaao's voice, Fang Yu didn't hesitate and walked over to Kong Huaao, smiling as he spoke: "Sir, what's the story?"

Kong Huaao glanced at Fang Yu, then lightly coughed, pointed ahead at the warships docked by the sea, and spoke to Fang Yu: "Do you see those warships over there? Currently, all of them are unselected soldiers. Your ship is just a cargo ship, so it's not suitable to directly add warships. You can recruit some captains of warship level for now."

Fang Yu followed the direction Kong Huaao pointed and looked over.

Sure enough, he saw one warship after another, neatly docked in the sea, with a corresponding number on top of each warship.

Military warships do not have names, only corresponding numbers.

Over the past two days, Fang Yu also consulted Yuan Qing about the military's practices.

Being a book lover, and very knowledgeable about the world's rules, Yuan Qing quickly introduced Fang Yu to the military's practices.

The military's practices are actually quite similar to Blue Star Captain recruiting crew.

Due to the unique situation of the world's seas, unlike Blue Star...

The world's military very much values coordination and rapport; typically, once a commander recruits a sufficient number of ships, they won't change their subordinate captains anymore.

Unless someone dies in battle, or the commander himself dies.

Otherwise, a team, from its formation to the final step, will always obey one commander.

This is because, in Ocean World, apart from basic ship modifications, crew members, and captains also have different extraordinary abilities.

And the extraordinary abilities are extremely diverse, with all sorts present.

This results in the need for a newly formed military troop to spend a lot of time to coordinate and harmonize the extraordinary abilities of its members.

Only once this coordination is achieved can the troop unleash an even stronger combat capability.

So... unless it's a special situation, the military generally won't break up a team that has already been coordinated well.
