After a discussion, they found that there are really many big and small problems, but there are three points that are the most difficult to solve at present.

The first point, the origin of the soldiers.

As they have said, it takes a lot of soldiers to form a convoy, but Clay is already small, and it is basically impossible to recruit enough and qualified soldiers from it.

The second point is to train soldiers to be good at naval warfare.

There are not no generals and commanders on the continent who are good at training troops and fighting wars, but there are really no ones who are good at naval warfare, and the naval armies of various countries are at most fluttering in the big rivers and rivers, and there are really few who dare to go to the sea, especially the deep sea.

The third point is the origin of the ships.

The only shipyards in Battleland are in Libya and Mansako, which are located in the southeastern armies and are not part of the state-owned property of Battlelands, but were formed by the local nobles themselves after the application was approved by Taran.

Izumi had always thought that someone would apply this technology to ships now that the steam engine had appeared—after all, he didn't hide it—but in fact, the warship currently used by Butland was still a three-masted ship with sails as the main power and oars as the boost, and this was a design more than ten years ago, and it has not changed for so many years.

And not only Butlans, Izumi made a point of inquiring about the situation in other countries, and found that the ships used by everyone were basically like this.

This shows how little attention is paid to maritime development by the countries of the continent.

This made Izumi, who knew the history of the Great Age of Discovery, a little uncomfortable. The only thing to be thankful for is that at least they know about installing a gun emplacement on the ship.

Of these three major problems, the first two can only be solved by Quan's father, their Emperor Majesty, and given that both Izumi and Electrolux have said that they don't want to stick to the affairs of the army, as long as they are all pushed to Raymond, he will always find the right person.

But on the question of the third ship, everyone thought that they could find a few shipyards to customize the warship, but Izumi refused to agree to it after reading the information they brought about the current warship.

"The wooden mast ship can't stand the impact of large sea beasts at all, and the speed is not fast enough, it is okay to run in rivers and shallow seas, if you really go to the deep sea to fight against sea beasts, it will not take much effort to sink the ship."

The officials at the meeting looked at each other: "Now all the ships are made of wood, are there any other materials?" ”

"Yes." Izumi nodded affirmatively, "It's stronger and faster than the wooden ones, and it can even fight underwater." ”

However, he didn't explain to these people things that they couldn't understand, such as steel cruise ships, aircraft carriers, underwater submarines, etc., and only signaled that Electrolux could end the meeting.

Electrolux, who received his meaning, immediately looked around at everyone and said lightly: "Now there are so many problems of integration, except for the problem of troop sources and ships, I hope you can think about how to solve problems such as their station, training grounds, food and grass if the escort team is formed, think about it, and write a report if there are any proposals." ”

At first, they thought that it was too simple, originally thinking that it would be good to recruit hundreds or thousands of people to form a sea guard, and then use the castle on the isolated island as the station of the escort team, but now that everyone has added the entire coastline protection of Clay, the number of soldiers needed is greatly increased, so that the isolated island castle cannot live so many people at all.

What's more, now that the castle has been converted into a new castle lord's mansion, Izumi and Electrolux are very satisfied with the newly renovated castle and don't want to lend it out anymore.

After everyone left, Izumi sat down in his place and looked at the things recorded in his notebook and pondered, not even knowing that Electrolux leaned over.

"What are you thinking?" Electrolux bent down behind him, his hands propped up on the conference table, Izumi in between, his gaze looking at the notebook in his hand.

The boat was circled, and it was clear that this was what he was thinking about right now.

And Izumi also confirmed this: "The matter of the ship. ”

He suddenly asked Electrolux: "You say, how about we build a shipyard ourselves?" ”

"Shipyards? How did you come up with this? Electrolux was a little surprised, he could see that Izumi had some thoughts about the ship, but he didn't expect this man to want to get a shipyard out.

"The current sea ship technology is too backward, instead of buying a few ships that are not suitable, it is better for us to build a shipyard to develop and research new sea ships."

"Will you?"

Izumi said humbly: "I probably understand a little." ”

Although Izumi didn't know much about boats, he used to travel on water vehicles such as cruise ships, and he even visited the captain's cabin and power system of many large cruise ships, and some cruise ships were equipped with commentators to explain these things, so he also learned a lot about them.

He's done well with aircraft carriers, submarines, and the like, but it's okay to work on a steel steamship.

His little highness is really omnipotent. Electrolux was deeply proud in his heart, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Quanhui, but just said, "It will cost a lot of money, and we don't have the talent to do this." ”

"Not necessarily, I looked through the information and found that Clay also had a shipyard before, although it could only build some fishing boats and the like, but it shouldn't be difficult to find some craftsmen who can build ships, but can't it be that there are several other shipyards? It shouldn't be difficult to dig up some people, right? Izumi smiled at him mildly, but the meaning of his words was not like that.

Electrolux really loved the sly light in his eyes, and couldn't help but bow his head and kiss his eyes.

"It's not difficult, although these shipyards are all run by nobles, but if there is enough temptation, it is very simple for them to send a group of us, and I will send someone to do this."

The spring also means this, digging people must be dug up, but it is best not to make it too ugly, so as not to make evil with people and make money in harmony.

"I'll have someone prepare a batch of baby balls for you, and you should be able to exchange this for a lot of people."

What's more, it's okay to change a shipyard directly, today's baby balls are scary of high prices on the black market, if they are willing to exchange this, some people are willing to give them the entire shipyard, not to mention just changing a group of skilled employees in the shipyard, these people can be cultivated with a little time.

"As for the money to build the shipyard, don't worry, I'm very rich."

The tree fruit and the mandarin fruit are all things brought back by Izumi, and the royal family will not deliberately take advantage of him, so every year, all the tree fruits and baby balls produced by the royal family will give Izumi 30% of the profit according to the market price.

Originally, everyone wanted to give 50 percent, but Izumi refused to accept it, and in the end, after bargaining, it became 30 percent.

In addition, the power plants, steam engines, communication technology, etc., which are now being promoted and built on the O'Europe Road, have more or less a part of Izumi's shares, and these are enough to make him rich and rival the country.

Therefore, Quan's personal property is probably more than Raymond's small treasury, after all, Raymond's small treasury is very wonderful and has to fill the treasury outside, but Quan's small treasury is basically only in and out.

Electrolux is very clear about this, so he is also a little depressed, he used to have more money than Izumi, and he could buy whatever Izumi wanted and give it to him, but now Izumi has more money than him, and it is impossible for Electrolux to be attentive in this regard.

"You can't just use your money, I'll make up half of it, and we'll build a shipyard together."

Of course, he would not refuse if he wanted to participate in the spring: "Okay, this shipyard will definitely be very profitable in the future, and you won't lose money." ”

Now take out part of the funds to build a shipyard, if maritime shipping also develops in the future, then it is impossible for their shipyard not to make a fortune.

"I'm going to call my dad and ask him to give us a permit." Izumi stood up, cleaned up the things on the table, and left the conference room towards the study.

Izumi has a big brother in his storage ring, but it can't talk long distances so far, so he can only contact Tal'an on the phone.

The telephone in the castle is newly installed, although the cost of calling is too high, but now there are still a lot of people who want to install the telephone, but the production and installation of the telephone can only make everyone wait in line, but if Quan wants to install, it is a matter of one sentence, he is one of the major shareholders of the newly formed communication bureau, this privilege is still there.

And they don't need to pay for phone calls, they can call as long as they like.

When Raymond received a call from his youngest son and heard him say that he was going to gradually become a navy, he was a little confused, didn't his youngest son go out to play? How can you make such a big battle while playing? It's time to build a legion.

- Although Izumi said that it was called the Sea Guard, Raymond felt that according to the kind of staffing he said, it was completely more than the ordinary corps.

But this is a good thing, although there are relatively few seaside cities in Battlelands, the danger brought by sea beasts has never been less, and now that there is a solution, he naturally agrees with both hands.

And the youngest son clearly doesn't want to take care of the navy by himself, this is giving him a legion for nothing, how could Raymond refuse.

[I'll help you solve the matter of the soldiers and generals, and talk about the shipyard. 】

Izumi told him some of his thoughts, mainly about the steamboat.

In the end, he concluded: "Steam ships can run faster than ordinary sailing ships, and their hulls made of steel are stronger, and they can be protected by sea beasts. ”

The youngest son has many secrets, and Raymond doesn't ask him why he knows about this kind of ship that he has never seen before, but only tells him: "The shipyard is also my share, and I want thirty percent of the shares. 】

The cost is too big, he is looking for more ways to make money, and the youngest son is obviously going to get rich again this time, so he naturally has to make a fortune together.

Izumi: "...... Good. ”
