Anne didn't expect her father to convince the Emperor to build a heavy arsenal in Saroyan, which was literally roasting the Whitehead family on the fire.

Governor Marcellus was already walking on thin ice, and Anne, who was in charge of intelligence, knew what rumors were about her father in the Empire. The offer to build a heavy arsenal in the Marcellus area was enough for the Emperor to kill the Marquis of Whitehead.

Anne asked worriedly, "How could His Majesty possibly agree to build a heavy arsenal in Saroyan?" This...... It's like sticking a knife in his heart. Father...... You, you're too adventurous. ”

"Your Majesty is willing to take risks!" The Marquis's tone was calm, and he couldn't see the effect of this incident on him at all, and he said to Anne: "Your Majesty is a visionary master, he knows what kind of changes are taking place in the world, and he knows that if this great fleet is not built, the empire will lose the opportunity to go out into the ocean for a long time to come.

There is no way to seal the influence of the Eastern countries on Marcellus, and this enclave will always be the heart of every emperor.

His Majesty wants to do something that the emperors of previous empires have not done, so there are some risks that he is willing to try.

With this arsenal, it will not only solve the problem of weapons for the Grand Fleet of the Navy, but also greatly save the military expenses of the empire to maintain the provincial garrison. And to show everyone the attitude of the Empire, which is built for the Great Fleet of the Navy...... Do not hesitate to fight.

This can effectively suppress the arrogance of the eastern countries.

As for the risk I take? Your Majesty is willing to take risks for the sake of the country's fortunes, so why shouldn't I accompany Your Majesty?

Annie, don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing, you just have to do your thing. ”

"Yes, father."

Whatever the real purpose of the Marquis, it was something that Anne could not interfere with now, and she did not have the ability to change her father's mind...... I can only pray that things are not what I think.

The only thing Anne can do is to prepare for the worst. When the family really had to face the catastrophe, he was able to save most of the ...... A part of the family's children.

Watching Anne leave the Governor's Palace worriedly, the Marquis of Whitehead sat by the window and gazed at the tall buildings of Saloyan.

Whether this matter is right or wrong, since you have chosen, you have to go on!

Da Liang didn't know what was happening in the Star Alliance, and he didn't know what kind of undercurrents were surging within the Flominck Empire, he was doing his own thing according to his own plan, preparing to participate in the procurement bidding of the Imperial Navy's Grand Fleet.

The interference of the eastern countries delayed the bidding meeting for nearly a month, and Da Liang also used this time to polish the built corvette again to make it look different...... Rough.

But even in the last "complete body", the frigate still looks so ugly. Especially when this strange-shaped warship sailed to the Imperial Navy's military port, it was in a group of all kinds of majestic traditional warships...... Its low, flat hull and bloated rubber skirt like a lifebuoy make it look like an ugly duckling mixed in with a flock of swans.

"A layer of lifebuoys is installed around the battleship, is this battleship here to satirize the Flominque Imperial Navy? Which shipyard produced this...... The boat is simply too vivid.

I think this is the battleship that the Flamenck Navy needs, and I bet a penny that this ship wrapped in a lifebuoy will definitely knock us all out and be chosen by the Flamenck Imperial Navy.

Hahahaha......"

A representative of a shipyard who came to participate in the bidding pointed to the corvette of the Black Fire Company and ridiculed it, which also drew ridicule from everyone who saw the ship.

The laughter of shipbuilding experts made the newly formed Imperial Navy laugh at themselves, and they also wanted to drive the ironic ship out of the military port, but it was a battleship sent by the Black Fire Company to participate in the bidding.

Magical Potential Activation Potions, "Mana Recovery" Drinks, and the newly built Saroyan First Iron Works...... Although Blackfire has not publicly signed any privilege agreements with the Empire, the privileges it has are tacitly present.

Therefore, this "battleship", which has a peculiar shape, is full of raw edges, and even has an empty deck, and there are no weapons installed, just drove in so grandly and slowly.

Today, the Flamenck Navy will definitely become the laughing stock of the world.

On the makeshift grandstand on the dock of the Navy Harbor, Marcellus dignitaries, Saloyan celebrities, and Imperial Navy officials filled the main stand with 300 seats. On both sides of the stands were representatives of shipyards from all over the world, some of whom brought prototypes and some of whom brought design drawings. When the tender meeting began, they would introduce their warships to the officials of the Flominck's Imperial Navy in order.

The warships moored on the pier are also dazzling, most of them are corvettes of less than 1,000 tons, torpedo boats, minelayers, minesweepers, anti-submarine speedboats, submarines, and landing craft......

As for the larger ships, none of the shipyards will build prototypes until they get the deposit, and these large ships still exist on the drawings.

From the stands, the "battleship" used by the Black Fire Company to bid is even more eye-catching.

At this time, the Marquis of Whitehead's mood was indescribable, he thought that his psychological pressure was very great, but at this moment he always had the urge to send someone over to scuttle the "battleship" wearing a lifebuoy. Listening to the whispers around him and the pointing at the battleship, the Marquis felt that he had lost face today.

Everyone knows that the Whitehead family invested in the Black Fire Company to build a steel plant; Know that the Whitehead family is the general distributor of the Magic Potential Activation Potion and the Magic Restoration Drink produced by the Black Fire Company, in Frominck. Knowing that the Black Fire Company can drive such a warship into the Imperial Navy military port, it is because of its own relationship.

The Marquis had imagined as much as possible what a terrible battleship Young Master Liang would give him, but he didn't expect that it would badly break through the bottom line he could bear. He could already feel the murderous gaze of the Imperial Admiral beside him.

"Marshal Hopkin." The Marquis of Whitehead calmly said to the Lord of the Navy: "Although I have persuaded Your Majesty to continue to build the Grand Fleet of the Navy, Your Majesty still has certain concerns.

Looking at the attitude of the eastern countries, it seems that there really is a naval battle waiting for us. If the Navy wants to continue to add large warships, or even capital battleships, it must use the warships of this tender to prove that the Imperial Navy has the ability to defend against coastal waters. ”

Speaking of the Navy's predicament, Marshal Hopkin said: "Our Navy is training in the Inner Lake, and I don't know how bad they will behave when they board the ocean warships." The best weapon for coastal defense is submarines, but we simply don't have anyone to drive that.

I hope that this time I can procure a light surface warship that is advanced enough to be able to hold the waters off Saroyan, and I am very satisfied. ”
