Chapter 16 Candidates

"Tell me, how many men do you need?" Since he had made up his mind, Hedram no longer hesitated.

"There is no need to be too many people, five or six are enough, but I want two kinds of people, one is a strong deck sailor with huge strength, and the other is a quick and flexible person. In addition, there are two people I hope to be able to act with me." Xu Mo walked a few steps in the room, thinking and saying.

"Gelhart, the sailors on the boat have not yet been disbanded. Go find some people who meet the requirements to come here and let Alfred choose." Hedram said immediately.

Gerhart is the first mate, and he recruited most of the sailors on the Wistyros. He is most familiar with the abilities and characteristics of each sailor, so he is the right person to find someone.

After seeing Gerhardt go out, Hedram turned around again and said to Xu Mo: "Who are the other two people you specifically designated? When you pick the remaining people, I will call them over."

"It's Blackney and Rashew. I hope they can act with me!" Xu Mo said with a smile.

"Blackney? No, he has injuries, and he is just a child, you can change someone!" Hedram frowned and refused.

"Only Blackney is irreplaceable." Xu Mo said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, admiral, I will not let Blackney take risks."

"No, I would rather fight with the British Navy than let Blackney take the risk!" Hedram's face turned solemn and refused firmly.

"Okay! Then I have no other requests." Xu Mo said helplessly.

"Hold this, you will use it." Hedram said apologetically, and at the same time he took out his wallet from his arms and handed it to Xu Mo. "Your plan may require money. This is the pound I saved, don't use our golden kroner."

Xu Mo flipped his heavy purse with his hands. The sound of gold coins hitting him in the purse immediately, stuffing the purse into his pocket of his coat. The two sat speechlessly, waiting for Geerhardt to lead the right candidate.

Soon, Gerhart brought ten sailors into the captain's room and asked them to stand side by side against Hedram and Xu Mo. After seeing the sailors coming in, Xu Mo's mouth slightly raised, and Yahan and Selena were indeed among them. Although he did not specifically specify that these two people want to participate, the requests he made to Gerhart actually included these two people.

The plot characters in this world are actually not very strong. Even fleet commanders like Hedram and Gerhardt, in terms of combat ability, are just as close to those of Xu Mo and others. Other ordinary sailors are even more incomparable to Xu Mo and others, but this world also has its own special features, that is, they require strong navigation expertise and professional skills.

If a reincarnation person like Xu Mo is in a battle of the boarding battle, he can still show his performance. If he had encountered a shipwreck last time, he would be useless. If he was overestimated and pretended to understand, he would be like Yahan, who would be kind and helpless and thankless. However, the plan formulated by Xu Mo now does not require navigation knowledge, but only physical fitness needs to meet the requirements. Then the two reincarnation persons with strong physical fitness will inevitably be attracted by Geerhardt.

Xu Mo did not designate the two of them because he did not want these two to have doubts. In this regard, he did a very successful job. When Geerhardt said that they had a task, their eyes lit up and came happily. If Geerhardt specifically explained that it was Xu Mo's designation, they would likely refuse to participate in the action directly.

"Gentlemen, you are all elite personnel on the Vistalos. Now I have a mission to hand over to you. Before revealing the content of the mission to you, I must first explain that this mission may be in danger of life. Of course, the rewards of the mission are also very generous. After completing the mission successfully, everyone will receive 5% of the next privateer income and will directly become an alternate non-commissioned officer. In the future, they can also enter the Royal Swedish Naval Academy for one year for officer training. Those who are unwilling to participate can withdraw from this cabin immediately!" Hedram spoke solemnly.

As soon as Hedram finished speaking, he immediately emitted a faint green light in his eyes when he looked at the ten sailors. Even Xu Mo was not mentally prepared. What is the concept of 5% of a privateer income? For example, last time they plundered the armed merchant ship of the Hansa Alliance and obtained a three-masted sailboat and a large number of cargo.

On the market, a complete three-masted sailboat is about 20,000 pounds, plus a cargo worth about 10,000 pounds, the 5% income is about 1,500 pounds. This money can be said to have been a huge sum of money in that era. A sailor can buy a relatively new small fishing boat with this money, or buy two acres of land and a cow.

How could sailors who adventure at sea be afraid of danger? It can be said that in every naval battle, they put their heads on their belts to make a living. If this kind of profit is not high, I am afraid that after returning to Stockholm this time, they will buy some small assets and support themselves and no longer have to go out to sea to take risks.

As for Selena and Yahan, of course, they would not be moved by these benefits. What they wanted was the position of alternate non-commissioned officer. In the last naval battle, Xu Mo almost died and made great contributions, and obtained 8 honor points, 5 of which were obtained as the second stormtrooper captain, and the other three were the benefits of being promoted to an officer.

Although Xu Mo didn't know how much honors Selena and Yahan got, one of them was a deck sailor and the other was a sailor. Even if they performed well, their income should not be higher than the five honors of Xu Mo's second stormtrooper. It is very likely that each of them would get two or three honors.

Dinah, who was in danger behind, actually got 5 honor points, 3 points, she used as a part-time boat doctor to treat sailors, and two points, she used to pray for the dead sailors as a military priest, which shows how important the position on the warship is.

It can be said that Hedram spent a lot of money to implement Xu Mo's plan this time. None of the ten sailors, including Selena and Yahan, chose to leave.

Seeing all this, Hedram nodded with satisfaction and gave Xu Mo a wink. Xu Mo knew that Hedram had already helped him with his full play, and it was time for him to start picking people.

Walking to the sailors, Xu Mo paced from left to right, his eyes swept across everyone's faces. The sailors he was watching were all holding their heads and chests with a serious expression, like soldiers being inspected by the general. Even Yahan, the reincarnationist, couldn't help but raise his chin, but Selena's eyes were filled with a hint of doubt and worry.

Xu Mo raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger and quickly tapped the two sailors at the top twice, then paused, observed the remaining people again, and after glanced at them, Xu Mo had a clear idea, and then said slowly: "You two have been eliminated, go out now."

The two sailors who were in ecstasy suddenly fell from a high place to the bottom as if they had just taken a roller coaster, so they had to leave the captain's room with a frustration. At this time, Xu Mo only pointed out the two sailors again. Just when the two thought they had been eliminated, Xu Mo told him that they had been selected.

Looking at Xu Mo's choice like a child's play, Hedram and Gehrhart showed admiration, and even Selena's face was filled with a sudden look. Hedram and Gehrhart were both professionals from the Naval Academy and had been the admiral of the fleet. Selena also occupies a high position in the real world, and the three of them have mature insights into personnel management.

Xu Mo's plan is very dangerous and requires people with excellent physical and psychological qualities. The ten people Gerhardt selected for him among hundreds of sailors will definitely not have any problems with physical qualities. So what Xu Mo needs to do is to select people with excellent psychological qualities.

The people Xu Mo eliminated just now were not the focus, the focus was on his observation after the first choice. With ten people participating in the competition, it is obvious that some of them would be lost. Then when two people were selected, there would naturally not be many places left. At this time, the remaining people would naturally have different performances.

Some people will be anxious, some will be depressed, and some will remain calm. Only then will the good candidates for the task appear, so the two sailors selected by Xu Mo are the candidates for the task who truly have good psychological qualities. Of course, if the two people who are supposedly eliminated also have good psychological qualities, then Xu Mo will also keep him, but unfortunately neither of the sailors have passed the test.

Two of ten people were not selected, two were selected, and the remaining six people became nervous again. Looking at them, Xu Mo suddenly felt like he was arrogant and killed. He smashed his mouth and carefully savored this feeling was really good. No wonder so many people would do anything for power, and Xu Mo sighed secretly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Mo did not use any more tricks. He stretched out his fingers and recruited Yahan into the team. However, when he saw Selena looking at her, a trace of earnestness appeared rarely, and a hint of teasing thoughts arose. He pretended to slide his fingers in front of the sailors and stayed on Selena's face for an extra second. Seeing Selena appearing in surprise, he took back his fingers and teased the strong woman.

Of course, Selena knew that Xu Mo was deliberately teasing her. Although her face was still silent, her heart was already furious. If this was in the real world, Xu Mo would probably have to be pulled into a small black room, such as reverse reversal, dog collars, whips, candles, etc., enjoy them all.

"Admiral, I have chosen it, just the three of them!" Xu Mo turned around and said to Hedram.

"Well, you three stay and the others go out!" Hedram ordered.

After the others went out, Hedram called the planned Rashes to the captain's room. When Rashes learned that Xu Mo had designated him to join this high-risk and high-reward task, he couldn't help but look at Xu Mo with gratitude, and Gehrat also passed on the task content to these four people.

Yahan's eyes flashed among the four. He had already informed Selena of the content of the mission through the soul mark, asking her to advise whether it was possible that this was Xu Mo's trap.

Selena, who was in the sailor's cabin, thought for a long time, finally said to Yahan: "Yahan, please withdraw from this mission!"
