Sigor, who is over forty years old, always gives people the feeling of sickness, listless in whatever he does, but when it comes to money, Sigor is like a clockwork.

As the head of the Royal Artillery Factory's Phoenix refit project, Sigor found it hard to believe that his decision was questioned by a team leader named Alem.

Just questioning it already made him feel extremely angry and annoyed, especially when the two were arguing, Alem actually complained directly to the plenipotentiary sent by the Dartmouth Naval School to 'Lin'?

Sigor actually still has a certain fear of Lin Haijiang, not only because Lin Haijiang is the first Chinese Royal Navy candidate officer he has ever seen, originally such a big project must have at least one Royal Navy officer with a so-called background to preside, Sigor originally thought that once the project reached the end of the period, there would naturally be a person who would lead the merit, and when the time came, he would perform hard, and he would be strong in climbing power, and finally ended up with a good result, hello, I am good, everyone is good.

To Sigor's disappointment, the renovation of the Phoenix had come to an end, and there was still no sign of the big man he was expecting.

Originally, this kind of battleship renovation project was an ambiguous thing, to put it bluntly, it was a process of royalty members collecting money from the Royal Navy, and when there was no plan to build new ships, the refurbishment and transformation of battleships almost became an important income for major shipyards, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the operation of a large shipyard just by selling armed merchant ships or river boats.

This has almost become an open "secret" within the navy, but Sigor does not know whether Lin Haijiang understands this rule?

Lin Haijiang followed Alem to the position where he had a dispute with Sigor, the base of the gun emplacement on the first deck, Lin Haijiang knew very well that even if a training ship converted from a third-class battleship like the Phoenix was not on actual combat duty, its main deck should be pressed with at least three layers of oak planks, and iron nets must also be attached between these oak planks to prevent the oak planks from breaking and causing a second kill when bombarded by grape bombardment.

The most important point is that the Phoenix, which originally had three decks, has eliminated the bottom gun emplacement, which means that at least three sets of support beams have been reduced in the bilge, so that the first deck is connected to the keel after the important surname, and the first deck also bears the backward and downward recoil generated by the firing of the first gun emplacement.

When Lin Haijiang found out that Sigor actually took the initiative to reduce a layer of oak planks, Lin Haijiang called Sier to the dock with a black face, and Sigor was already familiar with dealing with this kind of thing, in his opinion, it was nothing more than this Qing man who wanted to get more benefits, and the modification and overhaul of the Phoenix had already made him full of pots.

Sigor looked at Lin Haijiang, who was already angry, and smiled very naturally: "Dear Lin, it's not good for you to be like this, being angry will only make you feel unpleasant!" ”

After more than half a month of inquiring about the side of the construction, Lin Haijiang finally knew that the little meaning that Sigor gave himself every day was as pitiful as sending a beggar? Lin Haijiang, who had long been angry, finally found a reason for his expectation today.

Looking at Sigor with a normal expression, Lin Haijiang smiled slightly: "Dear Mr. Syl, I always thought you were a generous and honest person, don't you think so?" ”

Xi'er was slightly stunned, shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't understand Lin Haijiang's words?

Lin Haijiang saw that Seaer looked like a dull drum that needed to be hammered, and flicked the pound coin in his hand high with his thumb, then grabbed it in his hand and looked through it: "Mr. Seale is the transformer of warships, and our Royal Navy is the user, warships are floating land, and at the same time the lifeblood of the British Empire, I can hardly imagine that Mr. Sigor you have such an attitude towards the battleship where the honor of the British Empire lies?" This is a blasphemy against the Royal Navy, this is a jeopardy to the foundation of the British Empire! ”

Lin Haijiang's last sentence almost roared out, Lin Haijiang glared and shook his arm and said: "I want to report this matter directly to Mr. Edward, and to His Excellency Count Vincent, I want them to know that the Atwin Royal Artillery Factory is serving the Royal Navy in this way, and you are joking with the lives of the officers and men of the Royal Navy." ”

Lin Haijiang, who turned to leave, looked at Xigor, whose face was pale and his legs trembled slightly, with the corner of his eye, and Sigor watched Lin Haijiang's departure, his throat couldn't even make any sound, it can be said that he was really scared by Lin Haijiang!

Because Sigor is not a big idiot, no matter how uncomplicated things are, in the end it is only Sigor himself who is unlucky, and it will not affect the Atwin Royal Artillery Factory in the slightest.

After a while, Sigor desperately chased in the direction where Lin Haijiang left!

Lin Haijiang has slowed down his pace twice, but Sigor still hasn't caught up? This made Lin Haijiang a little worried, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had gone too far? Really scared the scare of this lewd guy like Sigor? Or is Sigor not at all afraid of his own alleged threats?

Lin Haijiang suddenly found that he didn't seem to be ready to retreat completely, for this kind of unclean and unclear burial, if he really reported to Edward, and reported to Earl Vincent, it was all the next step, how many layers of oak did the British warship have? As soon as he remembered that the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace and looted countless treasures and cultural relics in history, Lin Haijiang longed that the British ship would fall apart directly when it encountered some wind and waves!

What Lin Haijiang really cares about is how much oil and water he can scrape from Sigor through this matter?

The cost of refurbishment, worth nearly £400,000, would be a huge sum of money for this era, even at eight per cent of the usual standards for later generations.

When Xigor's caught up with Lin Haijiang, Xigor and Lin Haijiang were both relieved almost at the same time, the difference was that Sigor was out of breath, while Lin Haijiang was calm.

Sigor tugged at Lin Haijiang's sleeve and begged: "Please forgive me for my ignorance and ignorance!" Mr. Lin, I am sincerely confessing to you! ”

Lin Haijiang sneered and said, "Mr. Sigor, please leave your confession to the priest!" Think about how you can compensate me for my moral guilt! ”

"Moral guilt?" Sigor muttered to himself, slightly stunned!

Lin Haijiang nodded seriously and said: "It's very simple, if I keep this secret for you, it is tantamount to deceiving the Royal Navy, and I am just a soldier, such a thing is inconsistent with my soldier's defense, so my heart will be tormented and tortured, you can calculate how to erase the scars in my heart." ”

Lin Haijiang then stretched out two fingers and shook them!

"Two hundred pounds?" Sigor asked tentatively.

Lin Haijiang looked at Xigor with a kind of pity and said leisurely: "It seems that there is nothing to talk about between us!" My dear Mr. Sigor, I am a dignified officer in the Royal Navy of the British Empire, not a beggar! ”

Lin Haijiang's righteous rhetoric has a posture of judging Igore? This made Sigor extremely embarrassed, but it was time for people to bow their heads under the roof, and the only thing Sigor can be sure of now is that Lin Haijiang really doesn't know the so-called "rules"!

But Lin Haijiang's blatant request for benefits really relieved him, he was not afraid that you would want it, but I was afraid that you would not want it!

Sigor looked at Lin Haijiang cautiously and hesitated: "Two thousand pounds? ”

Lin Haijiang shook his head expressionlessly, Sigor gasped, and said in surprise: "Damn, is it 20,000 pounds?" You might as well kill me! ”

Looking at Sigor, who was almost violent with righteous indignation, Lin Haijiang smiled slightly and said: "There is no way, the price of justice is often extremely expensive, but after that, I can pretend not to know about any modification process of the Phoenix!" ”

Lin Haijiang's words made Sigor stunned, Sigor quickly calculated in his heart, 20,000 pounds is indeed a very huge number, but a huge warship, if you want to save from the material, it is also very simple, the double-layer oak deck of the bilge and the handrails of pear wood can be completely canceled, and the pearwood handrails of the second deck alone are more than 30,000 pounds.

In addition to handing over the necessary parts, he still made a lot of money, and after hesitating for a moment, Sigor said with a heart: "Deal!" ”
