Because of this heavy heart, when watching the next spider-shaped multi-functional terrain vehicle and the Sky Eye Command Center, Morey seemed to be preoccupied, making Sykes wonder if he was not good enough, which caused Morey's dissatisfaction.

"Say it! How long will it take for the First Fleet to take shape? ”

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Morey immediately took Gou to his study.

As the head of the Momiji Shipyard, Godek is the most familiar with the construction situation.

"According to your plan, boss, the First Fleet must have 8 170,000 Talents, if it is according to the boss's unit of measurement, it should be a 5,000-ton invincible ironclad ship!"

Morey listened and nodded, some units of measurement Morey intends to experiment with new things, otherwise it will always be in people's minds to calculate in pounds.

"But not to mention the 5,000-ton warships, we have only built three now, and even the boss said that each fleet is equipped with 500 troops, and we have only recruited 1,000 people, which is already operating at the limit!"

Morey was silent, although the Holy Lance Kingdom has a long coastline, except for those noble troops in the south, there are some armed merchant ships in private, and the rest are actually small sampans like anti-smuggling boats, so that Goude has no corner to dig if he wants to swing a hoe.

That is, in the Becky World, those peerless powerhouses can go to the sky and the sea as if they were walking on the ground, otherwise the coastline would have been beaten into a sieve long ago.

Even with the support of the Waujin Church, Gou De was able to gather 1,000 people in this situation, and the difficulty can be imagined.

However, after learning that the three ironclads had been staying since their maiden voyage after construction, and were named the anchorage of Ironclad Bay, Morey couldn't help but blame:

"You can't do this, can a warship that has not experienced the impact of waves and the baptism of artillery fire be called a warship?"

"In a quiet bay, you can't cultivate a good man who fights in the wind and waves!"

Gourd rarely blushed with Morey.

"Boss, do you know how much gold it takes to build an invincible ironclad ship?"

"The cost alone will cost 500,000 gold coins, and the cost will not be less than 1 million gold coins, including the refit business delayed by the shipyard! 1 million!! ”

When talking about 1 million gold coins, Goude's voice was raised a tone.

Don't you know that you want to let these ironclads wander in the shallow sea all day long?

But he couldn't bear it!

The situation at sea is changing rapidly, once he encounters a storm sea monster or something, the 1 million gold coins will be lost, and for him who is addicted to money, this is simply more uncomfortable than killing him.

Morey couldn't help but be frightened by the 1 million gold coins, he had always heard that the navy was a gold-swallowing monster, but he didn't expect it to cost so much!

After he assigned the task of building the fleet to Gou De before, he also gave him the largest proportion of the appropriation, which could be directly spent from the treasury of Red Leaf City, so he was not very clear about the specific cost, and this time he was shocked to hear that the cost of building a ship was close to 1 million.

The Faist family, which used to be the first family in the Far East, may have an income of 1 million gold coins a year!

I surpassed it before I knew it.

Morey shook his head to shake away the ill-fashioned thoughts, and then persuaded:

"Then we should let them out, not to mention the maintenance cost of the ironclad ship now, just for the navy of 1,000 people, how much do you need?"

"These people are lying down and making our money!"

As soon as he heard that someone was taking advantage of him, Gou De's eyes widened.

He has always been the only one who takes advantage of others, when did these big-headed soldiers dare to take advantage of themselves?!

Seeing that Gord was instigated by himself, Morey continued to fan the flames and said:

"And after going to sea, those training shells don't have to be wasted! Find a pirate or sea monster to practice, are you afraid that you won't have money? ”

Gourd's eyes changed to the shape of a gold coin when he heard this.

yes, why didn't you think of it before?

Since the loss is so big, wouldn't it be okay to rob others and make up for the loss?

A pirate ship also has at least 10,000 gold in earnings, and if you can capture a good pirate ship, there is also a guarantee of 1,000 gold in the cost of selling the ship.

The sea monster is not easy to calculate, but even if it is the most common mutant shark and octopus or something, if it is sold together with the belt meat, I am afraid it will not be less than 5000 gold coins.

For every 1,000 nautical miles, the cost of navigation is 1,000 gold coins, counting the cost of personnel going to sea, and the wartime allowance is 50 silver coins per day, if a ship is arranged for 400, it is enough for 300 people, that day is 150 gold coins, and a week round trip is 1,050 gold coins, and supplies must be configured, and now a barrel of rum on the market is

Gou De calculated for a long time, and his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

If your ironclad ship goes to sea and encounters pirates, you can earn at least double the training fee, even if you encounter the lowest-level sea monster, then it will be even offset, and you will not lose money.

"It's done!"

Gou De slapped the table hard and said viciously.

Morey smiled and observed a three-second silence for the pirates near the Black Sea.

With Goude's style of never trading at a loss, he would never try his luck to trouble those sea monsters, and those pirate ships with countless treasures were his target.

Black Sea.

On the Shark, the pirates found a shady place to rest.

After comparing his own size countless times, someone finally talked about the latest sea experience.

"You know what? I heard that the Holy Lance Kingdom has recently secretly formed an ironclad fleet to clear the coastline of pirates. ”

"! Clearing out the pirates is just an excuse, they plan to build an invincible fleet to conquer the Elven Continent! ”

"Ignorance! The conquest of the Elven Continent is just a smoke bomb released by those big people in the royal capital, and their real intention should be to directly suppress those southern nobles! ”

As soon as this companion, who was said to be a descendant of a certain Broken Knight, everyone nodded.

Only this statement is the most convincing.

The ironclad ships were said to be taller than the previous battleships, and it is assumed that the construction cost must have been turned upwards.

If this is to purge them, they themselves do not believe in such treatment.

Those legendary bigwigs, if they spend some money to grasp their whereabouts and defeat them individually, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than building a huge fleet specifically for this purpose?

The conquest of the Elven Continent is even more fantastical, not to mention the dangerous open sea, whether the deep sea trolls will let go of these toys that cross their heads, and that the half-year-long journey is not something that a mere kingdom can afford.

Therefore, this ironclad ship is the most reliable to deal with those nobles in the south who do not listen to the announcement.

"So, they're not going to trouble us, are they?"

The big stone that had been pressing on everyone's hearts recently, seemed to be removed by the knight's descendant in a few words.

"Of course, as long as you pay attention, you will find that those pirates are all committing crimes in the coastal waters, which are the main shipping routes to the south, and they are looking for death!"

"We're different, we're all blocking the seamen who run to the open sea, and those ironclad ships don't have a reason to run so far to chase us!"

Perhaps feeling that it was not convincing enough, the knight's descendant jumped onto the wooden box in a flash, waved his arms and said excitedly:

"No way!"

Rumble!

With a loud bang, a column of rushing water rose up, drenching him who was still full of blood.

"This is the First Fleet in the Far East, and the ships in front of it have lowered their sails and abandoned resistance! Otherwise, our ministry will fight back in accordance with the regulations! ”

What the hell the regulations, if you don't lower the sails, you will open fire, and you will shoot back in accordance with the regulations! I can't beat you, can't I run?

All the pirates of the Shark couldn't help but feel sad when they heard the sound of the amplification circle.
