The Imperial Flamenck Navy had planned to purchase 132 light warships of various types of light warships of less than 1,000 tons for the coastal defense fleet. However, the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform was too good and too cheap, so Marshal Hopkin temporarily decided to expand the coastal defense fleet to 300 warships, and all of them were Turtle-class produced by Blackfire.

Marshal Hopkin liked the landing capability of the Turtle-class multi-purpose combat platform so much that he purchased another 400 sets of hovercraft engine assemblies, planning to reserve part of them as replacement spare parts for the Turtle-class and the other part to build a specialized landing craft that could hold more personnel and heavy equipment.

……

In this way, the tender meeting for the battleship, which was supposed to take seven days, came to an end.

Just like the prediction made by someone at the beginning of the bidding meeting, the battleship wearing a lifebuoy brought by the Black Fire Company eliminated all the battleship plans participating in the bidding, and became the biggest winner of the bidding meeting of the Frominck Imperial Navy's Grand Fleet, winning this large order of tens of millions of gold pounds in one fell swoop.

I don't know how many people are red-eyed......

After the end of the bidding meeting, the turtle-level multi-functional combat platform was transmitted to all parts of the world through radio waves, and a storm quickly brewed.

Da Liang didn't know what kind of sensation he had caused by a hovercraft he had built casually, and he had just returned to the Elysée Avenue when Speaker Peters knocked on his door.

Peters was the last person he wanted the Imperial Navy's Grand Fleet to be formed, which, once it had formed a fighting force, would be caught between Marcellus and the Imperial mainland. In addition, the news from the court informants that the Emperor had agreed to build a heavy arsenal in Saroyan was undoubtedly another bad news for the Parliament.

The Empire's continued military strength in Marcellus also revealed the Emperor's determination to solve the Marcellus problem.

However, the citizens of Saroyan did not seem to be as easily agitated as before, and the parliament tried to control public opinion to prevent the Imperial Navy from building a military port. But the number of respondents is far less than it was before the launch of the newspaper.

Now "All-Star Newspaper" is the best-selling newspaper in Saroyan, and reading the gossip in the All-Star Newspaper is almost a must-do for every Saroyan citizen every day.

The National Star Newspaper not only reported on the anecdotes between celebrity entertainment and citizens, but also pioneered the creation of a selfie column.

No matter who you are, as long as you take a very interesting family photo and add a text description, you can send it to the National Star Newspaper for submission. The Star newspaper set up four pages for these photos, and some of the people who were often featured in the newspaper gradually became stars among the citizens.

"Anyone can be a star"

This is the purpose of the newspaper "National Star".

Right now...... The citizens of Saroyan are not only keen to read the National Star newspaper, but also to take selfies. The interest in municipal administration is not as strong as it used to be......

When Peters realized the seriousness of the matter, he only felt fear.

The will of the people is the most powerful weapon of the Marcellus Council against Frominck, and when the people's attention is not focused on the geographical contradictions, the barrier built by the parliament will become loose.

"National Star Daily" was founded by Young Master Liang. Speaker Peters, not knowing whether he intended it or not, stabbed him in the heart of the council. The newspaper is completely legal, never comments on any municipal affairs, and has no imperial overtones, so the parliament does not even have a countermeasure.

Just now, Speaker Peters saw the demeanor of the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform with his own eyes at the bidding meeting of the Imperial Navy's Grand Fleet, and also knew that the Turtle-class became the final winning bidder, and 300 ships were purchased by the Imperial Navy.

Regardless of whether Young Master Liang is from the Empire or not, Speaker Peters thinks that he must meet with him, otherwise the council may not have a chance.

Peters was brought to Da Liang by the maid, and Da Liang was looking at a drawing, and looking at the lines on it, it seemed to be an engine.

After sitting down, the speaker said to Da Liang, "Young Master Liang, first congratulate the Black Fire Company on winning the favor of the Imperial Navy. Today, the Turtle-class multi-purpose combat platform is doing just that, and a whole new ship design route is being carved out of your hands.

I think that in the future, the Black Fire Shipyard will be noticed by the world, and there will be a lot of people who want to get the design drawings of the Turtle-class multi-functional combat platform. There will also be a lot of shipyards starting to work on their own Turtle class ......"

Da Liang's gaze did not take his eyes off the drawings, and he said to Speaker Peters: "A ship that lifts its hull to the surface of the water with steam is called a hovercraft. The structure of the hovercraft itself is not complicated, even simpler than that of commercial cargo ships, and the real technical content is its engine.

The next research direction of the Black Fire Shipyard...... In addition to designing larger warships, it is on the basis of this engine that the next generation of lifting engines is being studied. So that the boat can really fly off the surface of the sea......

By the way, Your Excellency the Speaker has come to me this time, is there something going on? ”

Let the ship really leave the sea and fly, isn't that the air and space battleship of the ancient magic era?

Speaker Peters didn't expect that Young Master Liang would have such great ambitions, and he wanted to recreate the flying fortress that once galloped in the sky. However, the speaker did not waste time on technical issues, and since Young Master Liang asked about the intention, Peters said: "I remember that Young Master Liang once said to me that you have no political position and are just a pure businessman, and you will not interfere in the conflict between Marcellus and Flominck.

But what you've done lately has clearly upset the balance of Marcellus.

I don't comment too much on the "National Star Newspaper" you founded. The mere sale of the Turtle-class multi-purpose combat platform you sold to the Imperial Navy has the council in the dark.

The parliament is committed to building a democratic Marcellus, so we have always resisted the monarchy of the Empire, and the nobles of the Empire are bent on dividing Marcellus into fiefdoms of the nobility. The Flaminque Empire was very aggressive, and once the Emperor decided that the Empire was strong enough in Marcellus, it would definitely start a second Marseillus War.

The Marcellus was a buffer between the Frominque Empire and the Eastern States, and they would not sit idly by while the Empire actually owned it.

If the power of the Marcellus sides is unbalanced again, a large-scale war will be inevitable. The last time a hundred years were fought around this land, the whole of Saroyan found a complete house.

Young Master Liang, you have so many properties in Saroyan, you shouldn't want war to break out, right? ”
