Chapter 224: Suspicious
Kagoshima ordered 500 crossbows and 10 warships. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Huanxin Island ordered 1,000 crossbows and 10 warships.
The friendship price of the crossbow is 2,000 taels of gold, and 1,500 are a total of 3 million taels of gold. The friendship price of the battleship is 70,000 taels of gold, and the total price of 20 ships is 1.4 million taels.
The total price of the two orders reached 4.4 million taels.
Deng Yi is not a person who has never seen money, but the huge figure of 4.4 million taels of gold still shocked him. Although most of this is cost, the friendship price can still reach 20% of the profit, you can imagine how profitable the arms business is.
To say that Liu Mo is a talented person is true, Deng Yi's mission is to cooperate with each other, but he reversed the task and completed it, visited the two islands as an arms dealer, peddled crossbows and warships, and then put pressure on Zhuxing Island as an additional condition.
I didn't expect this trick to really work, but after being oppressed for countless years, Kagoshima and Huanxin Island really wanted to straighten their waists. Suddenly, naval battle equipment that was not inferior to Zhuxing Island was sent to the door, and the two families almost didn't think about it, so they couldn't wait to pay the deposit and agree.
Of course, it is easy to say, but it is not simple, if Liu Mo really follows Deng Yi's instructions and aims at combining vertical and horizontal, I am afraid it is another matter to attach naval equipment as an additional condition.
Moreover, in order to achieve the goal, Liu Mo did not use the name of Xiaoyao, but fabricated the identity of an arms dealer, saying that he had a way to get a large number of high-quality naval combat equipment from Dayu and wanted to sell it to them, the premise was that the two families must fight with Zhu Xingdao, because he came back from Dayu this time to find revenge on Zhu Xingdao.
Under the temptation of Dayu's naval battle equipment, the two families obediently complied, and each paid a deposit of 10,000 taels to show their sincerity. Of course, in order to show his sincerity, Liu Mo also sent two crossbows to each family, and also promised to supply the two naval battle equipment for a long time at the above-mentioned friendly price until the destruction of Zhuxing Island.
Of course, the two families are not stupid, and they unanimously affirmed that it is no problem to do it with Zhu Xingdao, but they will never do it to the death, at most they will harass and harass and exert pressure.
In order to open up the arms market at different levels, in recent years, Xiaoyao has simplified several different levels of crossbows and warships on the basis of Shenwei crossbows and Shenwei warships.
The crossbow is divided into three levels: yellow light, red fire, and purple lightning.
Yellow Light is only slightly stronger than the normal crossbow on the market, and its performance is increased by 5% in terms of charge, effective shooting range, and attack power.
Honghuo is a notch stronger, compared with ordinary crossbows, the performance has increased by 15%, and the volume has also been reduced by 10%. Zidian is stronger, with various performance improvements of up to 30% and volume reduction of 25%.
It must be known that the spirit crossbow used by Zhu Xingdao is only 25% stronger than the performance of ordinary spirit crossbows, and there is not even an advantage in size. It can be seen that the power of purple electricity, of course, is definitely a cut worse than the divine crossbow.
And the two ordered Zidian.
The warships are divided into five classes: Bihu, Offshore, Far Sea, Nuhai, and Zhenhai.
The speed of Bihu is 360 kilometers per hour, and the performance of deck strength and spirit stone consumption is 5% higher than that of ordinary warships.
The offshore speed is 370 kilometers per hour, and the performance of deck strength and spirit stone consumption is 10% higher than that of ordinary warships.
The speed of the open sea is 385 kilometers per hour, and the performance of deck strength and spirit stone consumption is 15% higher than that of ordinary warships.
The speed of the Nuhai Sea is 400 kilometers per hour, and the performance of deck strength and spirit stone consumption is 17% higher than that of ordinary warships.
The speed of Zhenhai is 420 kilometers per hour, and the performance of deck strength and spirit stone consumption is 20% higher than that of ordinary warships.
These classes are not limited to the tonnage size of the battleship, and they can make as big as the buyer wants. Of course, for the time being, only the 400-meter class is available to the public.
Because Liu Mo did not mention the Zhenhai-class battleship, the two ordered the Nuhai-class battleship with a tonnage size of 400 meters.
The main warship of Zhuxing Island is 330 meters in size and has a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, and Kagoshima and Huanxin Island have ordered Zhenhai-class warships with a size of 400 meters.
In the face of such a large order, Deng Yi was very excited, and at the same time had to worry about Xiaoyao's production ability. Despite the two expansions, the crafting capacity has not yet reached the planned value, after all, the production of battleships and crossbows is a technical job, and it takes enough time to learn.
Now the crossbow can be regarded as able to reach an annual output of 600, and the 200-meter Endeavor class battleship can produce 7 ships per year, and if it is replaced by a 400-meter class battleship, it will be good to produce 3 ships per year.
When the number of Endeavour-class battleships reached forty, Deng Yi ordered to stop the manufacture of this type of battleship and began to build a complete version of the Shenwei battleship instead.
With 2,500 firepower on one side of a Shenwei battleship, how many crossbows does it take to fill one? Now it has to be sold, and the production pressure can be imagined.
The same is true for battleships, before the Shenwei battleship is completed, there is an order for 20 400-meter-class warships, don't say anything, and strive to expand productivity!
Fortunately, Liu Mo did not boast of the immediate delivery of Haikou, but promised that the delivery time of the crossbow was 3 years, and the delivery time of the battleship was 8 years.
As the old rival of Zhuxing Island, Kagoshima and Huanxin Island are still very attentive to it, and after signing the agreement with Liu Mo, they immediately fulfilled their promises, and frequently made some small moves to put pressure on them.
If it were in normal times, Zhu Changqing would not take these small actions to heart, but now it is different. The fact that two envoy fleets were attacked by a mysterious fleet always surrounded his mind and made him a little suspicious.
Now the two rivals suddenly made a move, allowing him to connect the two together, and unconsciously magnified infinitely, so that he was scared out of a cold sweat by himself.
"We will closely monitor the movements of Kagoshima and Huanxin Island, and report any situation immediately."
"Recall the Third Fleet and the Seventh Fleet, and they will all stay on the island and prepare for war at any time."
In addition to the owner's personal guard fleet on Zhuxing Island, there are ten other fleets, each of which occupies an island around Zhuxing Island to form ten major defense islands and defend Zhuxing Island in the middle.
"Island Lord, the combat missions of the Third Fleet and the Seventh Fleet have not yet been completed, and they are just about to breathe their last. Wouldn't it be in vain to recall it now? ”
"After a while, when the wind and waves are calm, will you be able to run on Quicksand Island and Starfish Island?"
"All the armies have stepped up my training and prepared for battle."
"The War Readiness Department immediately counted the war readiness materials, and don't give me a chain at a critical moment."
“……”
Zhu Changqing issued countless orders in a row, and they were all war preparation orders, which instantly made the entire Zhuxing Island solemn, filled with an atmosphere of war.
However, what Zhu Changqing never dreamed of was that these orders were like a storm, quickly sweeping through the entire sea area covered by Zhuxing Island's forces.
Zhu Xingdao's power suddenly contracted, causing all the forces to smell an unusual breath, as if the spring of oppression was loosened, and all kinds of thoughts began to move.
As the initiator, Deng Yi was unaware of this change, and he threw himself on Chongming Island.
