Although the pirate attack did not cause any damage, it does not mean that the fleet can set off immediately and continue the next journey.

Firstly, it is because the captives captured by Richelieu and others cannot be locked up on the ship all the time, and they need to be sent away before departure...Should they be handed over to the mediocre coast guard, or to the peacekeepers who are more in charge Troops, that doesn't matter. In short, these people must not be left on the cargo ship and risk being overthrown by them to keep eating and drinking.

The process can be streamlined, but it still takes a little time to hand over the prisoners.

Secondly, I still have to spare some time to do scenes.

After all, there were too many pirates in this pirate raid. Unlike usual, there are only one or two ships and seven or eight pirates at most.

Regardless of why these pirates gathered together, anyone who is familiar with the local situation knows that no pirate force can send so many people.

So, here comes the question—is it possible to take this opportunity to interrogate the captured pirates, and then follow the clues they gave to find them ashore and destroy a few more pirate organizations that make a living by plundering? Woolen cloth?

Although it may not be able to reap much economic benefits, but after the news is released, it will definitely gain a good opinion from other forces that have suffered from pirates. If some leeway is left, such as allowing them to join the interrogation of the pirates and share more information with each other... It is not difficult to imagine that through this opportunity, they can gain more benefits in the future.

Everyone carries the bridal sedan chair, since there is an opportunity to sell favors, of course we must take the opportunity to do some business.

In this way, from the release of the news, to the multi-party joint public trial, to the transfer and handover of the pirate prisoners, this series of follow-ups was delayed for another three days.

It was nothing more than three days, Stark didn't care at all, and the other party in Italy who was waiting to receive the goods...was a little dissatisfied at first, but after receiving the order from the official Italian trade department and the promise of economic compensation After that, they immediately changed their attitudes and never mentioned urging again.

It is worth mentioning that the three days of delay not only did not slow down the progress of the fleet, but actually made the delivery time much earlier—according to Stark's previous instructions, if you set off immediately without delaying the time, Four days later, the day when the canal was once again open, the convoy must have traveled a long way south, perhaps approaching Madagascar.

And now...

The fleet has not left the Gulf of Aden yet. As long as you turn around on the spot, you can enter the Red Sea again immediately and line up at the entrance of the Suez Canal - you didn't go south before, which means you don't need to waste three or four days on the way back. Compared with the route that bypasses the Cape of Good Hope, the time saved is even more.

From the perspective of the whole process, it cannot be said that it is a blessing in disguise, at least it is a gift of roses to leave a lingering fragrance.

"Great~~! We will reach our destination in a week, eh~!"

"I'm so happy~! Juno!"

"Yeah, it's great that I don't have to stay up for more than 20 days~!"

After hearing Captain Vincent's words on the radio, the four light cruiser girls who stayed in the cabin jumped up happily.

At this moment, there was a movement at the door.

"Thank you." Andrea Doria thanked the sailors who helped, pushed open the cabin door, and greeted the light patrol ladies who were making trouble in the room: "Someone, help me."

"Oh." Santiago was the closest to the door and responded first.

When he came out, he saw that the trolley was full of dishes, and Santiago couldn't help being surprised: "Sister Ellie, why are there so many?"

"I'm also surprised." Andrea Doria supported the trolley with one hand, and handed a plate to Santiago with the other: "I asked several times just now, and they said they didn't make a mistake, they just gave it to us Prepared. Hey~! Atlanta, you guys also come to help."

It's not a cruise ship for sightseeing. On this cargo ship, apart from a few ship girls, the number of female passengers can be counted with one slap.

Without the companionship of the opposite sex, there is no need to carefully take care of your appearance, and the life on the voyage is very boring, which makes people unable to concentrate on paying attention to details... Except for the captain, first mate, second mate, and chief engineer who hold positions, they must Except for the exception of maintaining their image in front of the crew to maintain their majesty, the vast majority of the crew on the ship didn't care much about their image, and they were more or less sloppy.

Among the crew members, they don't care about these things. But for the ship girls who have always loved cleanliness, their image is somewhat repulsive.

The first few days of the voyage were relatively good, and after a week, the girls never went to the crew mess hall again.

Or go to the back kitchen to find the aunt who is in charge of cooking before other people eat, and use the advantage of being a little girl to ask others to help open a small stove to cook a few dishes, and bring them back to the cabin to enjoy together. Or, simply use the 'dry food' stored in the ship's space before departure to deal with it.

Speaking of which, Shi Xiaolei came to visit two days ago~lightnovelpub.net~ The girls made a temporary exception and accompanied him to the cafeteria for a meal.

"Wow~, why is it so rich today?" Looking at the crayfish in the big basin, San Juan's face was full of surprises: "There are crayfish? Where did they come from?"

"I heard that the commander brought it over that day." He picked up another plate and handed it to Atlanta, and Andrea Doria replied with a happy face: "Listen to Martina, the commander brought us a plate." There are delicious things in the refrigerator. Not only crayfish, but also bullfrogs, conch, ham... In short, they are all good things that are not available on the ship, there are many, many."

"Really? Do you have meatballs?" Santiago approached and asked expectantly.

"Then I don't know." Andrea Doria smiled: "You can go and see later, if not...Didn't the commander say before leaving, call him if you want to eat. "

In his mind, he imagined Shi Xiaolei crossing the portal to deliver delicious food to himself, and Santiago couldn't help but look forward to it.

But after thinking about it, she shrank her head a little uneasy: "Let's forget it, if Sister Li finds out... I don't want to be nagged by her."

"Anyway, there are not many days left." San Juan came over and pulled Santiago to the table: "Come on, don't you like fried fish steak the most, here~."

Crayfish, deep-fried fish steaks, grilled chicken legs, colorful vegetable salads, cold-cut ham platter, toasted bread with butter and fried until golden on both sides, sweet and attractive cake desserts, clean seasonal fruits, etc. . A not-so-small table was carefully arranged with an assortment of delicacies.

To talk about how rich it is... let alone the big pot meals of other crew members, even ordinary people's homes rarely have such a table of dishes except for holidays.
