Chapter 328: Cruiser

Not knowing whether to cry or laugh when he was drunk, one of his players was given a difficult task with as many as 20 rings. After discovering that this task was extraordinary, he organized people to overcome one difficulty after another, and finally achieved the last link, but the task reward drove him crazy.

The reward for this quest is not bad, but it is very rebellious, but it is impossible to have it if you are drunk and dreaming of death. This feeling is like a beautiful woman sleeping naked in bed, and the man finds himself unable at the critical moment, which makes people extremely aggrieved.

The final reward of the mission is a first-class protective cruiser, but the last link requires the player to pay for it, and the price is about 200,000-300,000 oceans. There is no shortage of money for drunken dreams and death, but his base is in Benxi, and there is no wharf to moor warships. Spending hundreds of thousands of oceans to buy a warship but having nowhere to dock, the money is equivalent to a waste, so he can only look at the warship but can't own it.

The time limit for this mission is still three days, and if the commander of the Tsarist fleet cannot be obtained within three days, it will not be bought. It's impossible for a drunken dreamer to make a dock in three days, and it's not possible to buy a warship to dock at the NPC-managed dock, because he doesn't have an official status.

Among the players who established a base in Huaxia, only Chen Hao and Lingnan Development Eagle Feather mastered the deep-water wharf, and they could only cooperate with the two of them if they wanted to buy a warship. He and Eagle Feather have always been opponents, plus he hides his identity in the game and doesn't want to come forward to contact Eagle Feather, so he contacted Chen Hao.

Chen Hao was also excited to learn that he had completed the task of the cruiser, he had perfected the dock at Yingkou, and the Sailor School was not on the right track, the only thing missing was the training ship. Originally, Chen Hao was going to buy a naval destroyer at a high price through Yuan Shikai as a training ship, but when he heard that he could buy a Russian first-class cruiser, he was immediately tempted.

The warship sold by the Russian Navy was the "Renda", a cruiser built in 1893. Historically, it was converted into a training ship in 1906 and was not decommissioned until 1920. The player under the command of Drunken Dream Death didn't know what shit luck he had, and he actually triggered the task of early retirement of this warship, and the task was almost completed.

The Renda was still not outdated, more advanced than the warships of the Qing Dynasty, and this cruiser could not only be used as a training ship after it was purchased. And it will be able to continue to serve. Drunken Mengsheng proposed that he pay for the cruiser, and then store the cruiser at Yingkou Wharf for a period of time, for which he was willing to pay Chen Hao 50,000 oceans.

Chen Hao did not hesitate to reject his proposal, on the grounds that it was very risky to buy a warship privately, and a warship staying at Yingkou might cause Wu Peifu to suffer unjustified disasters. Drunken Dream Death raised the price to 100,000 oceans Chen Hao still disagreed, he proposed another plan, let Drunken Dream Death give up the opportunity to buy a cruiser, and he paid Drunken Life Dream Death 50,000 oceans.

Drunken Dream Death refused, this is the first warship obtained by Huaxia players. And it's not a cruiser that is not outdated, and he, of course, will not give up easily. In the end, Chen Hao still persuaded Zui Sheng Mengdi, he asked Zui Sheng Mengdie if he had a plan to develop the navy, if he had any naval talents in his hands, if he did not plan to buy a warship, he would not be able to form combat effectiveness, and Zui Sheng Mengdie was silent after calming down.

Whether it is reality or game, the navy is the most money-burning, even if it is drunk and dreaming of death, it has never thought of developing the navy before Xinhai. After purchasing the Benxi base land, he built a number of new factories, preparing to look for opportunities during the Russo-Japanese War. Benxi will be the focus of his development, and it is unrealistic to open up another base with a dock for a cruiser.

Establish a base with a dock, drunk life, dreams, and death. But he had no official status, and with the dock he did not dare to moor the cruiser. In the first few days of the game, the ratio of game currency to real currency was high, and he would not invest a lot of real money to buy a fleet, and this cruiser was really chicken ribs for him.

Drunken and dreamy agreed to Chen Hao's conditions, but he didn't want 50,000 oceans, but asked Chen Hao to sell him a large number of bullets.

If Chen Hao is ready to develop in Yingkou for a long time. He would never dare to sell so many bullets to Drunken Shengmeng, after all, the powerful Benxi would pose a threat to Yingkou. Chen Hao was already planning to snatch the warship and leave, it didn't matter if he sold bullets to drunken life and dreamed of death, and Benxi had no ability to threaten his base in Yingkou in a short period of time.

The price of the cruiser Renda was between 200,000 and 300,000 oceans, because Chen Hao was determined to get the cruiser. He let the white demon take 300,000 oceans from Yang Du. This time, the white demon will go to the brigade on behalf of Chen Hao to negotiate with the Russian Vice Admiral Muratyev.

Although Yang Du was worried about money, as an NPC with a high IQ, he also knew that it was essential to carry out Chen Hao's plan to train the ship. He complained that Chen Hao spent money lavishly, but he still supported 300,000 oceans to be white and demonic.

The Yingkou Zhili Department did not have the authority to establish a navy, and the cruiser Renda was too conspicuous to be moored at the Yingkou wharf after it was bought, and Yang Du also had to consider if he passed the imperial court. After the white demon left, he immediately brought Wu Peifu to discuss, and asked Wu Peifu to give the court a discount.

"The foreigners ravaged our Qing Dynasty Maritime Frontier, all because of the sharpness of their ships and the low official position of the micro ministers, but they did not forget to strengthen our Qing Navy one day. Recently, Weichen learned that Vice Admiral Muratyev of the Russian Navy was quite greedy, and said that he was willing to sell an ironclad ship to China if he sent 100,000 oceans. The ship is quite advanced, 100,000 oceans to buy thousands of dollars, Weichen wants to buy this ship to strengthen our Qing coastal defense, so everywhere to raise funds. ”

"Chen Baxian, the former Yingkou Zhili Hall, learned that Weichen planned to buy ships, and sold 24 stores under his name and raised 80,000 oceans. Yingkou Zhili Department is frugal, and there can also be a surplus of 20,000 oceans, and now the funds have been raised, and they are negotiating with the Russians, and I hope that the Queen Mother will agree. ”

The excerpts written by Yang Du are very level, which not only highlights the image of Wu Peifu as a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, but also advertises Chen Hao. After the Eight-Nation Coalition occupied Kyoto, it wreaked havoc, and coupled with the Gengzi indemnity, the imperial court could not come up with the money at all. No matter how cost-effective it is to buy a warship, the Empress Dowager Cixi will not allocate money, and it is better to show her loyalty than to try to ask the court for money.

After the Empress Dowager Cixi returned to Kyoto, she began to implement new policies, but she always held power in her hands, and Wu Peifu's excerpts were soon handed over to Cixi through Li Lianying. After reading the excerpt, Cixi sighed and said: "Chen Baxian was infected with a vicious disease for the country, but he did not forget to serve the country, and he actually donated all his family wealth to buy ironclad ships for the imperial court, which is really regrettable. ”

Cixi immediately issued an order to praise Chen Hao and Wu Peifu, but there was no substantial reward. Yang Du asked Wu Peifu to take this fold, the main purpose was to legally dock at Yingkou after purchasing warships, and the purpose had been achieved.

White Demon and Rain Butterfly rushed to the University of Tourism, and met with a player named Smelling Chicken and Dancing under the arrangement of drunken dreams. After a brief understanding of the mission process, the white demon went with him to visit Muratyev.

Muratyev was tall, with a big belly and a proud look. Seeing the smell of the chicken, he said condescendingly: "Inhumans smell the chicken, have you raised the money to buy a warship?" ”

Smelling the chicken, he hurriedly said: "General, we have already brought the money, I don't know how much the general of this warship will sell?" ”

Muratyev said impatiently: "Didn't I tell you about 300,000 oceans? ”

Bai Hu Demon took over and said: "General, the warship you want to sell is a retired warship, and 300,000 oceans can be used to customize a new cruiser, and the price is too expensive." ”

Muratyev said loudly: "Retired warships? No, the Renda has been in service for less than ten years and is now also a first-class warship in the world. I sold this warship to you privately, and I also told His Majesty the Tsar that the warship touched the reef and could not be repaired, so I took a big risk, and 300,000 oceans is not expensive at all. ”

Bai Hu Demon smiled slightly and said, "No matter what, this warship has been in service for many years, and it is impossible to have the same price as the latest warship." After learning that the general intended to sell this warship, we tried our best to maneuver, and the imperial court was only willing to give 200,000 oceans, what did the general think? ”

300,000 oceans can indeed customize the latest cruiser, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is white and evil, but if Muratyev does not reduce the price, he will have to buy this second-hand ship. It is not easy for players to customize warships, and even if they are lucky enough to complete the task of customizing new warships, they will not be able to pass the level of the imperial court.

This time, he lied to the imperial court that he spent 100,000 oceans to buy warships, and those who know how to buy it will feel that it is cheap, and the imperial court can understand this kind of unattainable thing. But if Yingkou pays for the purchase of new ships, the imperial court will definitely not tolerate it, and a small Yingkou will definitely be considered ill-intentioned if it spends a lot of money to buy a fleet.

When talking to the white demon, he used the "Trying to Maneuver" stunt, an A-level diplomatic stunt from Li Hongzhang, which can reduce his own losses when negotiating. Lieutenant General Muratev's psychological price was originally 250,000 oceans, but after the white demon stunt took effect, he nodded and agreed to sell it for 200,000 oceans.

After the signing of a secret agreement between the two sides, the white demon paid 200,000 oceans and boarded the cruiser "Reynda" accompanied by the vice admiral. I was excited to see this warship white and demonic, in reality, the navy is the eternal pain of Huaxia, and I can finally have the first warship in the game.

There were more than 100 students accompanying the white demon to the brigade, and these students were all students of the Yingkou Naval Academy, and they would take over the warship after the Russian sailors drove it back to Yingkou. This warship was purchased in the name of Wu Peifu, but he who temporarily controls the warship can see the attributes, just like Muratyev said, this warship is not backward, and there is no problem in serving for another ten years.
