"What business do you think we are in?" the purchasing manager asked.

"I don't know. I don't want to know. Usually, people who purchase a ship like this are not good people. Besides, you are doing even bigger things. You know. Qin's armed merchant ships don't have cannons. And you But it needs a cannon. It really surprised me," said the owner of the shipyard.

"Business in wooden shipyards is not good. Now people prefer to use iron-hulled boats. They don't want to use wooden boats, which they think are not strong. Most importantly, those boats are expensive but safe." The boss of the shipyard said.

"However, I want to ask. Why don't you buy iron-hulled boats?" asked the boss.

"We don't have much money? Either the boat is better or the weapons are better. We choose one of the two. We believe that having weapons is more important than having better boats. Safety comes first." The purchasing manager said the whole time.

"Well. You are very smart." Said the owner of the shipyard.

"Do you know? The armed merchant ships of Qin State are not so smart. They don't understand at all. No matter how good those ships are, if the weapons are not powerful, they will still lose to their opponents. Didn't they lose to Chu before?" Is the National Navy already?" Said the shipbuilding boss.

"Besides, no matter how good those ships are, the shells can still penetrate them, so it's better to work hard on weapons." Said the shipbuilding boss.

"What the boss said is right." The purchasing manager praised.

"That is, those people from the state of Chu come to me to buy this kind of ship, and I can also get the cannon they want most. Tell me, can I not know about these things?" said the owner of the shipyard .

"That's right, it's reasonable." The purchasing manager nodded and said yes.In fact, the owner of the shipyard is not quite right.

The reason why Qin's armed merchant ships did not work hard enough on weapons.Mainly because of the backwardness of their opponents' weapons and equipment.

In the past, the Chu State Navy was only equipped with flintlock rifles, pistols, and some weapons, and these weapons did not support them in decent combat.The machine guns equipped by Qin's armed merchant ships at this time are already weapons beyond their era.It can be said that this is not a quantitative confrontation at all.

Qin's machine guns can fire an average of 300 to [-] rounds per minute.On the opposite side, the Chu State Navy needs to prepare two or [-] people to shoot on par with it, and the effect of the shooting has not yet been calculated.Such a situation is very unfavorable to the Chu State Navy.

But the subsequent weapon upgrades made this weapon comparison unbalanced.The desire for Qin's arms exports has decreased.Cannons also began to become important weapons and were exported to Chu State. The important thing is that Qin State has a lot of such old-fashioned artillery in stock, most of which come from the army. The army is eager to deal with these things, so they dispose of these things to Chu State For these neighboring countries, Qin's cannon is still a powerful weapon, at least in their eyes.

You must know that the lethality of the rifle is still very limited, but if it is an artillery, the effect of the artillery will greatly cause serious damage to the infantry, and.The artillery has a long attack distance and great lethality. Therefore, the Chu army still likes this powerful weapon. Some private soldiers of the nobles are also equipped with artillery. They believe that artillery can show their force.

And behind the disposal of these stocks, Qin tried his best to sell weapons. They purchased a large number of weapons, and now they need to convert these weapons into money.There is not such a big market in the country, they can only sell these weapons to these countries in order to convert them into money to buy advanced weapons again.

While Qin Fang resold these artillery wantonly, the weapons of the surrounding countries were upgraded again.The Korean new army rearmed three artillery regiments.The total number of their artillery reached more than 500 doors.This number is already very large for an army of only 6 people.

It's not just the new South Korean army.Zhao Guo also strengthened the equipment of three artillery regiments.But these artillery regiments are not used in front-line combat, they need training.Good training.And use it as a trump card in the end.

The state of Yan purchased the latest artillery from the state of Qin, and later launched the artillery of the hydraulic re-entry machine.This cannon is powerful.But the price is expensive, but the rich and powerful Yan State Prince Army is equipped with a heavy artillery battalion.Two Field Artillery Battalions.A special artillery battery.They all use the most advanced weapons, and they look down on such outdated weapons, on the contrary.On the contrary, the royal army of Yan State purchased some of these old-fashioned artillery, but the quantity they purchased was very limited, less than 25 pieces.The royal army suffered heavy losses.Moreover, the financial capacity is very limited, and it is already a miracle to be able to purchase 25 artillery pieces.

However, it is not these countries that purchase the largest quantity, but Chu State, which has already purchased a thousand such artillery pieces from Qin State.Almost all the artillery equipped and stocked by the Qin army was sold to Chu. It can be said that almost overnight, the firepower of the Chu army rose to a new level. This is also an important reason why Qin's armed merchant ships were defeated. Well, they didn't know at all why the Chu team had so many extra artillery all of a sudden.Moreover, this purchase is still increasing cumulatively, because there are still a large number of weapon companies in the market that manufacture such old-fashioned artillery and sell them to Chu.But Chu State has accumulated a large number of purchases.

The ones bought were no longer Chu's army and noble private soldiers, but some commercial water pirates and pirates, and they began to upgrade their weapons in an all-round way.

"Tell you, if you want to buy, you'd better buy a few more warships. This is good for you," said the shipbuilding boss.

"But, we don't have enough money." The purchasing manager said hurriedly at this time.

"I understand what you mean, but listen to me, and you will understand why I said that." The shipbuilder said at this time.

"If you do this, you can build a few more warships, which can save costs, because, according to the first ship manufactured, the cost of the subsequent ships will be greatly reduced. This is an unwritten rule. The navy’s ships are all built in this way, and their costs are saved in this way, which is what the sister ships say.” The owner of the shipyard said.

"Moreover, it will be easy to upgrade and transform in the future. Moreover, after these ships are manufactured, they can form a fleet, so that their combat effectiveness will be greatly increased. This is much stronger than a warship fighting alone at sea. On the sea, a ship is not easy to drive." At this time, the owner of the shipyard said.

"Well. That's it. Then, can we reduce the cost of our weapons?" the purchasing manager asked at this time.

"This, of course. And because it is the same series of ships in the future, the cost of remodeling will be very simple." The owner of the shipyard said.

"I think it's okay." The purchasing manager said to the person behind at this time.

"En." The man behind just nodded.Did not say anything.

But the man waved secretly.Purchasing managers who saw the gesture understood immediately.

"However, we need to apply for such a thing. After all, we don't have a lot of funds prepared." At this time, the purchasing manager said.

"We need to discuss it and consider it for reference." At this time, the purchasing manager said.

"This, of course, of course, you can discuss it." The owner of the shipyard said at this time.

"Then, let's not bother." The purchasing manager left immediately.

Immediately, the purchasing manager had a conversation with the mysterious man behind.

"Based on this purchase calculation, we need five times the money to complete it. In this way, if the king finds out, he will definitely kill us." The mysterious man said anxiously.

"However, you have to know that it is related to whether the South Korean Navy can be established." The procurement manager responded at this time.

"The queen has decided to build a navy. This is a fact. Although it is just an organization that is not in name, don't forget. Only by developing the ocean can South Korea be strong. Moreover, there are so many islands overseas that we need to occupy. We are not willing to just Build a ship, and, the boss is right, what can a ship do. I think, if necessary, we have to expand the capital twenty-fold, and the more ships we have to build, the better." The purchasing manager at this time Said.

"You're crazy." said the mysterious man.

"That's right, crazy. Only in this way can the South Korean navy be called a navy." At this time, the procurement manager said.

"Okay, let's report this situation to the country and let them make a decision." The mysterious man said.

"Let's get started," said the purchasing manager.The mysterious person is a supervisory civil servant sent from South Korea. He believes that the cost is too high.But the purchasing manager was a military officer, and in his view, these expenses were normal.It is more practical to build up the armament of a ship than to build up the armament of a fleet.

"This budget is ten times more than the advance expenditure we gave. Prime Minister, I think we should send someone to see what's going on. The amount of one hundred thousand gold is not a small number. Ah." A South Korean official said to Zhang Liang holding a telegram list at this time.

"En." Zhang Liang took a look at the telegram form and dropped "En."

"Did they explain the reason for this matter?" Zhang Liang asked at this time.

"Yes, they said that building one warship can't form a combat force. They need to build more warships. They initially built ten warships. The weapons on the ten warships are all equipped with cannons. Moreover, they can all sail to sea. The ship can carry more than 200 to 400 people, and it can also carry more than [-] slaves." The official added at this time.

"En." Zhang Liang nodded at this time.

"Then the waterways of the Yangtze River and the ocean in Chu State, which one do you think is the most dangerous?" Zhang Liang asked such a question at this time.

"Well, what does your lord mean?" the official asked at this time.

"Both dangers are great. If only one warship is built, then ocean voyages will not be replenished and taken care of in time, and water pirates are rampant. Therefore." Zhang Liang paused at this time.

"It is necessary to build multiple warships." At this time, Zhang Liang said.

"Let's do this matter according to the telegram. If there is another matter like this, just approve it directly." At this time, Zhang Liang said directly.

"That. The villain will retire." The official wanted to say something at this time, but seeing that Zhang Liang had made up his mind, he stopped talking.So, he resigned.

Just when South Korea is vigorously developing their navy.Qin's domestic situation is continuously deteriorating.

"The rise of gold is too fast. And there is not so much gold in the country of Qin. The price of gold is almost one price per day." A reporter said in the newspaper.

Before Meng Yi's plan was implemented, the price of gold had already started to rise.The big bankers represented by Ying Yu have begun to do everything possible to extract a large amount of gold from the market.But Ying Yu's actions immediately attracted other people's actions that they wanted to follow, so that the summoning could not be extinguished.Other bankers in Qin State began to follow crazily. Such a large-scale demand could not cover up the huge demand of the market. Therefore, the gold futures of Qin State rose rapidly, not only the price of gold futures, but also another market , The gold spot market has also risen rapidly. Although this market is not so formal, gold can be provided at any time.The bankers didn't care about these at all, and the price of gold rose again and again.Prices repeatedly broke new all-time highs.

"My God. The price of gold has reached 23 gold to one gold." An investor looked at this horrified historical price in horror.
