Chapter 15: Peddle Brigs
Chapter 15 Peddling Brigs
The two-month intensive training of the first cadets of the Jimo Naval War School passed quickly in tension and fulfillment. Looking at the sailing ships leaving Jimo Port one by one, Gangzi knew that the seas in Asia would not be calm anymore soon.
So......
"Brother Qian, our business group has been doing well recently," Gangzi teleported to Jiuzhuo Town, and said Qian Duoduo, who was busy dealing with various orders.
Qian Duoduo saw that it was Gangzi who came, and asked him to sit down very enthusiastically: "It's not bad, the speed-enhanced dhow battleship is simply out of stock for a long time, and many customers who have bought it back have gone back to add orders, brother, can you build that ship faster, brother, I am about to be driven crazy." ”
"It's not going to be fast, the shipbuilding capacity is there, and the speed increases, and the supply of sloops will be slower."
"Slowing down? That's not going to work! Look at my big orders, they are all the best legions in all countries, and each one is more popular than the other. Qian Duoduo picked up a stack of orders and showed them to Gangzi one by one: "The Divine Light Legion of the United States, the Creed Legion of Germany, and the Triumphant Legion of France, each of which is hundreds of ships, each of them is more urgent than the other." ”
Gangzi took a brief look: "The supply of speed-enhanced dhow will definitely decrease, we are a monopoly on sales, and when and how much to give are up to us; In addition, you go and inform the four major fleets of the Han Dynasty, and say that our Jiuzhuo Merchant Group has a large number of brigs in stock that can be sold. ”
Qian Duoduo was shocked: "Jimo Shipyard can now provide brigs and battleships?" Then he realized: "The ship designer in your hand has produced so many dhow battleship drawings, and it is time to upgrade to the intermediate level, so we will have a stable brig battleship for sale in the future!" Hahaha...... I said how do you want to cut the amount of speed reinforced dhow construction, it turns out that there are better! I'll go and inform the four fleets right away. ”
Gangzi said again: "By the way, you are telling them that the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group undertakes all the renovation orders below the brig, and all the ships purchased in the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group are discounted for renovation at the Jimo Shipyard. ”
"No problem, take more orders to fill more skill proficiency, and wait for your ship designer to reach the advanced level. Let's start selling three-masted battleships, that's just what we can shout. ”
"Yes, in short, we are trying to increase the order for the Jimo Shipbuilder's brig."
"Okay, our family's business is supported by our family first, and our Jiuzhuo merchant group will first order 200 brig merchant ships, 20 escort ships, 20 armed merchant ships, and 20 brig warships."
"Then thank you, Brother Qian."
The "Outland Society" hired by Gangzi from Plymouth had been transported to Jimo Harbor by the Black Sail Fleet along with the purchased books and equipment.
Coupled with the sailboat materials collected by Cui Shi from all over the Han Dynasty, the Jimo Ship Design Library already has a large collection of books. Moreover, Cui Shi's collection has not stopped, and Sun Tiezui was also entrusted by Gangzi from him in the process of running a business. Every time you pass through a port, you have to search a local bookstore, so the Jimo Ship Design Library will continue to expand in the future.
The "Stranger Society" has also settled in the Jimo Shipyard and set up a "Stranger" studio, which is mainly responsible for the order of speed-enhanced dhow and brigs. In addition, the ship designers of the original Jimo Shipyard were arranged by Gangzi into the newly established library, mainly responsible for the management of the library and the sorting of hard-sailing materials.
The information collected by Cui Shi on the hard sailing ship is basically to grasp a handful in the east and a handful in the west, not to mention the system, the authenticity of the content needs to be verified, and Gangzi even found a novel called "The Adventure of the Flying Ship of the Lucky Boat" in it. The design level of the original Jimo ship designer may not be good, but it is still possible to identify some empty things.
In fact, Gangzi also planned to ask them to study the construction of the big man's hard sailing ship and expand their knowledge through this sorting. The main reason for the poor level of these local designers is the lack of systematic learning. For this reason, Gangzi set aside a separate area in the library for them as their design studio, and named it the "Native" studio, specializing in the hard sailing ships of the Han Dynasty.
The establishment of the "Stranger" studio called Gangzi's shipbuilding program took the first step. The following is the war, only the war will bring more orders to the Jimo shipyard.
So Gangzi began to sell brigs to the four fleets of the Han Dynasty through the Jiuzhuo merchant group. And when the four fleets, which had already been affected by the shortage of blueprints for the brigs, learned that the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group had a large number of brigs in stock, the four army commanders immediately flew to Jiuzhuo Town.
The four major fleets of the Han Dynasty were not short of money, and the 200 brigs that Gangzi sent to the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group were instantly wiped out. With the brigs sailing from Jiuzhuo Harbor, sailing to the north and south of Dahan. The maritime strength of the Han Dynasty has skyrocketed, and there is already a tendency to overtake the hegemonic alliance.
"Gangzi! Come to Lingxiao County, conference room 001. I've given you access now, so come here. Gangzi, who was sorting out the information of the hard sailing ship with the "Native" studio, suddenly received a communication from Huacai.
"What's the matter?" The hull structure of the military fortune ship has been completely sorted out, and the design of the first hard sailing ship warship prepared by Gangzi was chosen, and when he was thinking about the transformation, he was interrupted by Huacai, and he was inevitably a little unhappy.
This time, Hua Cai heard the unkindness of Gangzi's tone, and she patiently explained: "Xiang Ma Qiang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and Mu You are all here with me, and there are important matters to discuss, and they are all waiting for you, come over quickly." ”
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Hua Cai ended the correspondence, she found that she had begun to see Gangzi as an equal existence to herself, "This change is really amazing, but the Admiral of the Jimo Navy and the director of the Jiuzhuo Business Group have a large number of brigs and speed-enhanced dhows in their hands, the 'Black Pearl' and the 'Flying Henan', coupled with the reputation of the naval battle, this Gangzi has unknowingly become a behemoth, fortunately he is on the side of the Lingxiao Army." ”
After Gangzi sorted out the information at hand, he sent it to Lingxiao County.
In Conference Room 001, eight people sat in a circle in the conference room, including Huacai, Angry Sea Battle, Xiangmaqiang, Yang Yang Proud, Dragon King of the East China Sea, Langli Baitiao, Mu You, and Dazhi of the Archangel Fleet, who had participated in the training of the Jimo Naval War School. After Gangzi came in, he greeted a few others and sat down in the only vacant seat.
As the organizer and host of the conference, Hua Cai spoke first: "Welcome to everyone, I believe this will be a conference that will affect the entire Asian landscape. ”
……
The continuous addition of new brigs and new two-masted warships aroused the alarm of the anti-hegemonic alliance, so that after the special fleet gathered in Lingxiao Harbor, the alarm sounded again on the sea surface of East Asia.
This time, the continental alliance first stood up and clarified: "The continental alliance has no intention of breaking the established order on the East Asian sea, and is not ready to launch any active war, the expansion of warships by the four major fleets of the Han Dynasty is to prepare for entering the Pacific Ocean, and the wealth in the depths of the ocean is endless, and the players on the west coast of our country on the other side are gradually encroaching on the resources of the Pacific Ocean, and our continental alliance is willing to unite all organizations and individuals who yearn for the ocean to go to the deep sea, and push the 'rise of the country' into the era of great exploration." ”
The explanation of the Continental Alliance is very reasonable, and the intelligence from within the legions also shows that the four major fleets of the Han Dynasty are really preparing to enter the ocean.
Previously, the anti-hegemonic alliance was frightened by the Lingxiao Special Fleet, only to find out later that it was just a task of Gangzi, and most of the many warships in the special fleet at that time were seconded by the Donglai Navy, and the strength of the special fleet was not as scary as it was seen at that time.
Although Gangzi later pushed the legendary battleship Black Pearl to the public's eyes, no matter how fast the ship ran, it couldn't avoid the "sniping" of the three thousand Benliu Sakura, and the anti-hegemonic alliance still had an advantage in overall strength, plus Gangzi was busy with many things in Jimo Port, and he was extremely low-key in the game.
It is worth mentioning that since Gangzi took over as Admiral of the Jimo Navy, the commercial port and military port of Jimo have all entered militarized management, and a cordon has been arranged on land and sea, and any player who intends to approach will be expelled. The personnel of the Jimo fleet have also undergone strict interviews and political screenings, and it is not clear whether there are any insiders of other strengths of the Han Dynasty, but the possibility of spies in other countries is very small. Therefore, the Jimo Naval Battle School was not known to the outside world at this time, and no outsiders knew that the elite captains of the four major fleets of the Han Dynasty had received naval combat training here.
The seas of East Asia remained calm, and the merchant ships that had been hiding for fear of being affected by the war set sail again, and prosperity returned to the western Pacific. After it was determined that none of the four major fleets of the Han Dynasty had made any major moves, the fleet of the anti-hegemonic alliance gradually dispersed. The Jiuzhuo Merchant Group still sells this speed-enhanced sloop, even if it is purchased by anti-Allied countries, they still sell it. "If the Great Han really wants to start a war, how can they allow the Jiuzhuo Merchant Group to sell warships to hostile forces so aggressively?"
It's another false alarm, but it's a pity that there is no large-scale naval battle to watch. All the merchants continued to fight for the gold coins with a little regret and a happy conflict, but fortunately, the finals of "One Piece" were about to begin.
The final finals of the "King of Sailing" were grandly opened, and a total of 12 teams from six major regions qualified to participate in the team competition, and they will compete for the title of the strongest fleet. With twelve teams participating, the champion teams from each continent advance directly to the quarterfinals, while the six runners-up teams are divided into two groups to compete for the remaining two quarter-finals.
The same is true for the "King of Navigation" individual competition, the Asian champion Sanqian Honliu Sakura directly advanced to the quarterfinals, and Li Youtai will compete for the qualification of the remaining two quarterfinals, but he has the "Flying Henan" temporarily borrowed by Gangzi, and the strong firepower with the "rush repair" Li Youtai should be able to get one of the places.
For this reason, Gangzi's reputation in Goryeo has soared, and some investors have revealed that they are considering adding the role of Gangzi in "The Legend of Lee Yoo-tae". (To be continued......)
