Qin Xiaobai agreed with Lone's proposal that the two shipyards of Zhoushui and Bohai should establish an alliance and cooperate in the division of labor. After all, in the entire Yan Kingdom, the Zhou Dynasty, and the whole world, it is impossible for only one shipyard to exist. Since there are a large number of other shipyards, allies and enemies are indispensable.

Both the Zhoushui Shipyard and the Bohai Shipyard produced a common product, the "cabin ship", which had fierce competition with each other and was once an adversary and an enemy. But as long as different ships are built and this competition is avoided, then the two shipyards can become allies.

Lone took the initiative to put forward the suggestion that "the Bohai Shipyard only produces small boats, and the Zhoushui Shipyard only produces large ships," thus avoiding competition very well and laying the foundation for the cooperation between the two shipyards -- this is the most fundamental economic foundation, and only when there is no conflict between the economic bases can the interests of the forces not become antagonistic and can a real and stable alliance be established.

Of course, Qin Xiaobai was happy to see one more ally, not one more competitor.

He thought about it for a moment and agreed. And it was decided to become the Bohai Alliance, establish a hierarchy system, and list Zhoushui Shipyard as Class A, Bohai Shipyard as class, and the shipyards that joined later were listed as BSP; Seeing Qin Xiaobai agree, Lonely was overjoyed and excited: "Thank you Brother Xiaobai for your support, from now on, I will be lonely only Brother Xiaobai!" He almost foresaw that he would get a huge opportunity to show off after forming an alliance with Xiaobai. Qin Xiaobai shook his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Lonely, don't be too happy!" The profits of the cabin ship are very huge, and the demand for cabin ships is great in various inland waterways. If my Zhoushui Shipyard does not build a cabin ship in the future, it is equivalent to giving you a large part of the profit of the cabin ship. In the Bohai Alliance, you get a lot of benefits. Since you have received benefits, you must also pay the corresponding responsibilities. ”

Lonely. Immediately said: "Of course, the little white brother just has to say." ”

Qin Xiaobai said: "I don't ask for much. Except that your shipyard can't skip the level to build higher-grade sailing ships and fighting ships, and stand in the same trench with Zhoushui Shipyard. You also have to contribute money to work together against our competitors. In a word, if I want to fight and use soldiers, you must pay money, ships, people, and food! The great interest you have in the Bohai Alliance is the great contribution you must make. In addition, I study higher level shipbuilding technology, and you have to pay for it. After the ships in Zhoushui Shipyard are upgraded, I will give the technology of the sailboat directly to your craftsmen, and you will also save a high amount of research costs. ”

Lonely only thought about it for a moment, and then immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem, but I personally have a small request!" I hope that my Bohai Shipyard will always be a shipyard of one level after Zhoushui Shipyard. Priority access to shipbuilding technology. As long as you agree to this condition, let alone ask me to pay, tell me to do anything. ”

Because Lonely knows that as long as he forms an alliance with Zhoushui Shipyard, then the production crisis of his Bohai Shipyard will be completely resolved, and he will no longer have to worry about being suppressed, but will be protected by his allies. As long as the Bohai Shipyard can grow, there are any conditions that cannot be agreed.

Qin Xiaobai smiled, "Okay, I won't let you suffer!" ”

Qin Xiaobai, Lonely, and Lost Wealth Qingniu shook hands. An agreement on the "Bohai Sea Alliance" was signed. The two most influential shipyards in Bohai Bay officially came together and began to reshuffle together.

The Bohai Alliance has many contents, but there are only two core provisions.

1. Shipyard hierarchy. It is an alliance between shipyards, at different levels. Each class can only build ships of the corresponding level, and cannot skip the class to build ships of other classes. The Bohai Alliance is an open alliance that openly recruits members.

2. Matching interests and obligations, and unanimous against the enemy. While enjoying the benefits within the alliance, such as "territory division, taxes, supplies, and technology transfer", it is necessary to pay the corresponding price and contribute to the alliance.

Qin Xiaobai, Mi Cai Qingniu, and Lonely Lonely annulled the previously signed peace agreement and re-signed a "Bohai Alliance" agreement. In addition, Qin Xiaobai signed a "Priority Transfer of Shipbuilding Technology Agreement" with Lonely, and Lone provided research funds to Zhoushui Shipyard. And Zhoushui Shipyard provides mature shipbuilding technology to Bohai Shipyard when necessary.

After signing the alliance agreement, Lonely left the Tanggukou military base with a copy of the agreement document and returned to Bohai City with his brothers by boat.

After the misfortune Qingniu waited for the lonely to leave, he said to Qin Xiaobai with some doubts: "Boss, how can you completely give up the big piece of the cabin ship to loneliness?" The profits in this part are too staggering. Especially in the area of the Yellow River. There are so many buyers! We at Zhoushui Shipyard will lose a lot of profits. ”

From the very beginning when Qin Xiaobai agreed to Lonely's suggestion, he had a stomach full of questions. It's just that it's hard to ask in front of loneliness. And he believed that the little white boss would not do that kind of loss-making business, so he did not object.

Qin Xiaobai glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "There are forty or fifty thousand players in Bohai City, how much do you say our Zhoushui Alliance will have to spend to control Bohai City?" It is too difficult to bring the Bohai City player forces under the management of my Zhoushui Alliance. After all, we are outsiders, and it is inconvenient for us to meddle in the circle of influence of players in Bohai City. It's better to support loneliness and let him unify the various forces in Bohai City. And as long as I am lonely, Bohai City belongs to my territory. One more general is more effective than having forty or fifty thousand soldiers. ”

The Lost Fortune Green Cow was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses. Lonely borrowed the power of the little white boss to strengthen the strength of the Bohai Shipyard. The little white boss took advantage of the power of loneliness to completely extend his power to Bohai City. As long as loneliness does not betray, then Bohai City is equivalent to the territory of Xiaobai Laodi.

The young bull who lost money finally woke up, this benefit deal is very cost-effective, and everyone takes what they need. Loneliness needs to let his shipyard survive, and the little white boss needs to be lonely to break through his power from just one Zhoushui Walled City.

There is a new question about the Fortune Cow, the key to this alliance is to ensure that loneliness does not betray, but how can we ensure that loneliness does not betray?

Qin Xiaobai didn't explain too much to the Lost Wealth Green Cow.

To do this is actually very simple -- to control all the naval fleets in the Bohai Sea Alliance in your own hands. As long as the Tanggukou military base has a strong naval fleet, and Lone does not have a naval fleet, then he will never be able to betray.

According to Rule 1 of the Bohai League. It is completely possible for the Zhoushui Shipyard to exclusively produce light fighting ships, building ships, warships, destroyers and other maritime fleets, and only the Bohai Shipyard is allowed to produce civilian ships. Include the Bohai Shipyard in the protection of its own fleet, then Lonely simply has no possibility of betrayal. Although people's hearts are complex, their interests are surprisingly simple, and a simple rule is enough to eliminate hidden dangers.

Qin Xiaobai asked Micai Qingniu to adjust production, stop the production of cabin ships, and increase the production of light sailing ships and light fighting ships. In addition, he also began to study medium-sized sailing ships and heavy sailing boats. and multi-masted galleons. The more masts, the more complex the structure of the sail, the higher the knowledge required by the craftsman, and the more research costs are required.

The Fortune Cow began to work, reassigning production tasks to NPC craftsmen and organizing craftsmen to conduct research on higher-level ships.

Qin Xiaobai left the shipyard. to begin the expansion of the Bohai Alliance.

There were many foreign businessmen and players who ran shipping in the Tanggukou base, and Qin Xiaobai sent people to post an announcement at the gate of the walled city, announcing the establishment of the Bohai Alliance, its rules, and the list of members. And send the players of the Zhoushui Alliance to spread the news among the foreign merchants, and the Bohai Alliance openly recruits new members, regardless of the player's nationality or player identity, as long as there is a shipyard with a certain strength, it can join.

This news spread to the walled cities with these players and merchants.

Initially. Not many shipyards responded. After all, once you join the alliance, you are equivalent to a subordinate of the alliance, and many times you have to be subject to the jurisdiction of the Bohai Alliance. Most shipyards are chickens rather than cows, and they don't want to be restricted by any alliance.

But many shipyards were soon under pressure from Zhoushui Shipyard and Bohai Shipyard.

The Zhoushui shipyard abandoned the production of small boats. We are fully engaged in the manufacture of light sailing ships and light fighting ships, which are specially designed to meet the needs of the Bohai Sea. With its strong strength, its sailing ships are quickly spread all over the Bohai Sea, and no other shipyard's ships can compete with it on the Bohai Sea. Moreover, the Tanggukou military base is stuck at the mouth of the Jihe River, and a 20 percent tax is levied on any large or small vessel entering or leaving the mouth of the Jihe River -- except for the ships of the Bohai Alliance.

With the protection and concessions from the Zhoushui Alliance, the Bohai Shipyard abandoned the study of sailing ships and began to produce various types of cabin ships to supply the needs of various inland rivers. After all, Bohai Shipyard is an old and powerful shipyard, although it lost a lot of vitality some time ago. However, after a break, a full recovery has begun. Now the Bohai Shipyard can not only sell ships in the Canglang River, but also enter the Jihe River and sell ships without any restrictions. With the support of the Zhoushui fleet, many merchants in the inland river have chosen.

The joint expansion of the two shipyards made other shipyards in the Bohai Bay area feel huge pressure to survive. Either choose to fight with the two major shipyards, or choose to join the Bohai Alliance. Be a part of it.

There is an example of the Bohai Shipyard. Time. Dozens of large and small shipyards in various walled cities in Bohai Bay have come to the Tanggukou military base. Seek to join the Bohai League.

Qin Xiaobai selectively selected them, not too much. In each walled city, region, and river basin, only one or two shipyards were selected to support them and turn them into their own allies in the local area. In this way, even if the forces of the Zhoushui Alliance did not enter these places, Qin Xiaobai had a huge influence on these places with the help of the power of the Alliance.

In Jicheng, there is also a shipyard selected - Nishi Shipyard.

It must be admitted that Qin Xiaobai does not have a good impression of Qin II, Qin II has a somewhat gentlemanly style, and usually looks arrogant.

However, considering the great turmoil between the five giants of Jicheng not long ago, Qin II had withdrawn from the Hangukou base, and took the initiative to request to join the Bohai Alliance, as well as the need to completely split the relationship between the five giants of Jicheng, Qin Xiaobai did not hesitate to accept the Second Shipyard and let it become part of the Bohai Alliance.

And directly elevate it to the status of B class second only to the lonely Bohai shipyard. And the Zhoushui Shipyard directly imported the manufacturing technology of light cabin ships to the II Shipyard, saving Qin II a large amount of research costs.

In return, Qin II took on the task of joining hands with the Zhoushui Alliance to suppress the other Big Four in Jicheng. Because of the scruples of the Big Five, the Zhoushui Alliance has not officially entered the circle of influence of players in Jicheng, and now it has finally appeared in Jicheng openly with the help of Qin II.
