Just when the pirates were worried and the navy rejoiced. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Marshal Sengoku sent a call to Luo Hong.

"Is there any provenance for this ship?" After the navy did not continue to review, it was only after receiving the newspaper that the Warring States learned what was written in Luo Hong's Chambord weekly newspaper. On this day, after he got the new issue of Chambord Land Weekly, he found Luo Hong.

Luo Hong was stunned, isn't this just a propaganda poster, what else do you need? "There's no source, if you really want to find a source, it's the naval warship in "Pirates of the New World".

"New World pirates? What's your new novel? "This novel, because it's about pirates, so Sengoku only looked at the first point, and the back, and didn't continue to read it.

"Yes, it's the warship inside, it's not much different from what I described." The battleships in this novel are dozens of guns at every turn, and the configuration of the Sea Monarch is not too exaggerated.

"Oh? Do you think warships can be built like this? As he spoke, Sengoku asked Luo Hong.

Sengoku is this preparing to really get this warship out? Luo Hong didn't expect that his momentary thoughts would actually make the Warring States move this thought.

After thinking about it, Luo Hong said, "Yes, yes." "In the era of sail battleships, are there still fewer such warships, and it shouldn't be too difficult to build this kind of warship, except for some time, right?

"That's good, if you have any new weapons and warships in the future, let's talk to Peach Rabbit first, so as not to make such a big noise." Finally, Sengoku said to Luo Hong.

Something big? Luo Hong was confused by the words of the Warring States, isn't it just a painting? What's going on?

However, the Warring States didn't give him time to continue asking, and after saying that he would talk next time, he hung up the phone directly, leaving Luo Hong with a blank face.

After Sengoku hung up Luo Hong's phone, he didn't turn off the phone bug, but redialed another number.

"Hey, that one?" On the other end of the phone, an ordinary voice came out.

"I, Sengoku." Sengoku seems to be more polite to this one.

After hearing that it was the Warring States, the voice became more vivid, "Oh, it's the Marshal of the Warring States, is there something wrong?" ”

"Did you read the newspaper I asked you to bring you just now?" Sengoku continued, and before he called Luo Hong, he instructed the navy in the Academy of Sciences of the Naval Headquarters to send a weekly newspaper of the Chambord to Vegapunk.

That's right, the person who is talking to Sengoku right now is the chief scientist of the Academy of Sciences of the Naval Headquarters, a Vegapunk who claims to surpass the wisdom of human beings for five hundred years.

"Look, what's so special?" Vegapunk read it after the newspaper arrived, and didn't think there was anything worth researching. If anything, he was interested in the oil mentioned in the westward novel.

"The battleship on the front page." Sengoku knew that Vegapunk was busy, so he spoke more concisely, and directly pointed out to Vegapunk.

The phone bug on the Warring States table narrowed his eyes and said, "That battleship? It looks really good, but when you fight the pirates, it shouldn't have much effect, right? ”

It seems that Vegapunk is not optimistic about this super battleship, it seems to be quite good, and the current battleship, as a tool for moving on the sea, is already good. Therefore, Vegapunk is not ready to make changes to these warships.

"It's true that it doesn't work well in the New World, but it's still quite useful in the first half of the Four Seas and the Great Voyage. At the very least, it can make the image of the Navy more perfect. It's okay to make a few to show off the power of the navy. "Warring States still tend to study it, after all, it does look more imposing.

"If you like it, Marshal, you can try it." Seeing that Sengoku was so persistent, Vegapunk no longer objected. Anyway, this is not a big problem, it is just to enlarge the current warships and put more artillery, maybe let the assistant get it right.

Warring States smiled and said, "Okay, the Navy Headquarters will give special funds to the Academy of Sciences." ”

After all, this is an additional research project, and Sengoku does not plan to let Vegapunk's Academy of Sciences squeeze out the money to study it on its own.

"Okay, then let's approve two billion Baileys first." Vegapunk saw that Sengoku was so easy to talk today, and directly began to open his mouth.

"What? Two billion Baileys? "Sengoku was frightened, a battleship, actually opened its mouth for two billion Baileys? Is this a battleship or a fortress? "It's true that the previous funds were given less, so you don't have to slaughter so much this time, right?"

Two billion Baileys is not a small amount, this is enough to slaughter the bounty of the Four Emperors of the New World, just to study a warship that the Four Emperors can sink casually?

"I'm not talking nonsense, according to this specification, two billion Baileys are only a little less." Vegapunk didn't mean to pit the Warring States, he just estimated the price by himself.

"Really? Then wait for now, don't be in a hurry, let's discuss this matter later. Sengoku was frightened by this number and directly suspended the project that had not yet started.

"Okay, if you want to continue, you can just send money over." Vegapunk doesn't get entangled in this kind of issue, if you want it, don't want it, and it's not Vegapunk's style to discuss and discuss.

Sengoku nodded and said, "Okay, then you can get busy first." ”

The Warring States, who were originally in high spirits, were depressed by the price of two billion Baileys. Two billion, this is just the price of one, the Warring States period before the four seas and the first half of the great route to come one by one, now it seems that this is a bit far away. All of this adds up, but there are 10 billion Baileys, which is definitely an astronomical amount for ordinary people.

"Knock knock."

Just as Sengoku was thinking with his hands propped up on the table, there was a knock on the door of his office.

"Come in." Warring States said without raising his head.

The door was pushed open, and it was the yellow ape, one of the admirals who had just returned, who entered, "Oh, Lord Marshal, what's the matter?" Saying that, the yellow ape was not polite, and walked directly to the sofa and did it. Regardless of the boss in front of him, Erlang's legs were cocked all of a sudden.

"It's nothing, why do you have time to come to me?" These generals, when they are fine, will not run to themselves. None of the three of them are easy to manage, except for Akainu, who is meticulous about the task, the other two are lazy and lazy even about the task.

"Oh, I heard that the Academy of Sciences has developed a new warship, and it is time for mine to be replaced." The meaning of the yellow ape's words, the Warring States have already heard it, this is to want this battleship worth two billion Baileys that is still in the fantasy stage.

"Yes."

The yellow ape smiled and said, "Oh, that's good." ”

"You can gather two billion Baileys first, and then I will ask the Academy of Sciences to build one for you."

"What?"

(The cost of a first-class battleship was about 80,000 pounds at the time, and one pound was 7.3 grams of gold.) The current yen should be around two billion. ）
