Chapter 445: High-level attention
PS: (Thank you for the precious monthly ticket cast by Mingyue Ying Qianjiang)
"A warship is a kind of weapon, and it is bought to fight wars, otherwise why would I buy a warship? I'm a pirate in the game, and I'll do whatever is good for me, and I don't mind sending warships to support me if the Russians are willing to give me some benefits. ”
Chen Hao answered the Japanese reporter's question, and the Japanese reporter quickly said: "You mean that if our country can afford to pay the price, we can also ask you to help deal with the Russians, right?" I wonder how much money it takes to get your fleet to touch? ”
Chen Hao said lightly: "Since I lack a good impression of your country, it is impossible for me to accept your country's employment. ”
Chen Hao's words are very direct, meaning that he will only help the Russians, not the Japanese. He participated in the Battle of Tsushima without fear that players would know, anyway, this is a reporter in the real world, even if they report it in reality, it has nothing to do with the game. Even if a game reporter reports that he is going to participate in the Battle of Tsushima, what if the Japanese NPC knows about it? In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan gambled on its national fortunes, and they could no longer afford to back down.
The Japanese reporter's face was flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "The Battle of Tsushima is a large-scale plot mission of the game, which is related to the interests of several countries, do you think the system will allow you to change so easily?" ”
Chen Hao directly gave the Japanese reporter a back of the head: "Since you think that whether I participate in the Battle of Tsushima or not will not affect the plot of the game, why did you come here to interview me?" Hungry? ”
The Japanese gamer reporter was speechless, and he was trying to figure out how to retort when a tall Russian gamer reporter squeezed him to the side. With a sincere smile on his face, the Russian player reporter said: "Mr. Chen Baxian, as a Russian reporter, I am very happy to hear your words, in reality, our two countries are friendly neighbors, and I hope that your fleet can participate in the Battle of Tsushima." It's also a great benefit for your home country. ”
Chen Hao shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm just a player, the affairs between countries have nothing to do with me, and if your country wants to hire me to participate in the war, you have to come up with corresponding benefits." Mr. Journalist, there are risks in fighting, and I am not obliged to take part in a naval battle with heavy losses. ”
The Russian reporter nodded and said: "I will publish your words as they are, this war is related to the vital interests of our country." Both our government and our people are eager for you to go to war. ”
At the beginning of the 20th century, Tsarist Russia was the world's leading naval power, and after the Battle of Tsushima, Tsarist Russia went directly from first-class to second-rate, and had no right to speak at sea. If there is the slightest possibility, the Russians would like to change the plot of the Battle of Tsushima, so that the majority of Russian players will have much more room to develop in the game.
Arshavin and the others still participate in the war when the chances are slim, just to change this plot mission with the mentality of just in case. After the Tsar rejected Rozdvensky's proposal not to wait for the Third Fleet, Russia was bound to lose the Battle of Tsushima without the intervention of external forces.
Chen Hao created a miracle in the game, and in the early stage of the game, he had a fleet comparable to that of a country. His willingness to go to war can change the whole plot. Although "Genesis" doesn't want the plot of the game to be changed, it would be too unreasonable if Chen Hao's main warship entered the war or Japan won, so he helped the Russians with a very big chance of victory.
After the Russian reporter proposed that the Russian government would also want Chen Hao to participate in the war, Chen Hao's heart couldn't help but move, the Russians in the real world want to participate in the war so much, so can the reality knock a stroke? For the governments of large countries, tens or even tens of billions are nothing at all, if the outcome of the Battle of Tsushima changes. Russian players will be able to earn much more in the game.
There are a lot of rich people in the real world, but the game has a limited amount of in-game currency. Most people use in-game currency to keep the game going. The game currency that appears in the trading market is only a small amount, and usually players can maintain a certain price when buying a small amount, if someone smashes in tens of billions of dollars to buy game currency at once, the game currency in the game trading market will definitely be snapped up.
The game produced not much game currency in the first place, and many game coins were exchanged for game credits, which made it impossible for rich people to buy large quantities. Chen Hao is now the only player in the game who has the opportunity to build a large fleet. The Battle of Tsushima is about to begin, and whether Russia can win him over is the key to victory.
Chen Hao is now a strange commodity, and after having the idea of blackmailing a sum of money in reality, he decided not to do the task of participating in the war easily. When the Russians think that he will not participate in the war and promise benefits, it will be too late to negotiate with the Russian NPCs to receive the mission.
After the interview. Chen Hao took the officers and sailors of the former Qin Shi Huang to board the dreadnought and began to check the attributes of the dreadnought.
Item Name: Dreadnought (unnamed)
Item Type: Dreadnought-class battleship
Item Tier: Standard
Item description: Dreadnought is a general term for a class of advanced capital warships built by various naval powers in the early 20th century. The classification of dreadnoughts is derived from the battleship "Dreadnought", which was first built in the British Navy. It eliminated the second caliber main gun used for attack on the previous battleships, equipped it with a unified main gun of the same caliber, retained the secondary gun used to defend against light warships, and used a high-power steam turbine as power. The ship became the ancestor of modern battleships, establishing the basic model of artillery and power of battleships of the world's naval powers for the next 35 years, and the range and sailing speed of battleships continued to increase dramatically.
Firepower: 90
Armor: 88
Speed: 21 knots
Control: 62
Side Skill: Large Ship Cannon (Passive Skill), increases combat power by 15% when fighting ships with lower firepower and armor than the ship
Collateral Skill: Special Armor (Passive Skill), special armor works when it is in good condition, and it will not take any damage when attacked by a ship with a firepower of less than 80, and it lasts for 5 minutes.
After Chen Hao's dreadnought was named Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Invincible-class battlecruiser was launched on a small boat, and the two Invincible-class battlecruisers were also the standard version. Although he knew that it was unlikely that the new warships that Britain had only begun to build would have a premium version, Chen Hao was still a little disappointed after confirming that the three battleships were all standard versions.
The minimum level of equipment in the game is the normal version, but the normal version is depreciated, and brand new weapons cannot be below the standard version. The firepower of the Invincible-class battlecruisers is not weak, but the armor is much worse than that of the dreadnoughts, but it also has 72 points that are similar to the battleships of Qin Shi Huang.
Item Name: Invincible-class warship (unnamed)
Item Type: Invincible-class battlecruiser
Item Tier: Standard
Item description: A new type of warship that combines firepower and speed, which can be used as a flagship to lead its own reconnaissance detachment and break through the warning barrier composed of enemy light ships to forcibly reconnoitre; Serve as the vanguard and rear guard of the battlefleet and cover its flanks, expand the results or cover support when necessary, and lead your own cruiser fleet to capture and destroy the enemy's stragglers or sporadic ships.
Firepower: 86
Armor: 72
Speed: 26 knots
Control: 60
Collateral Skill: Cruiser Buster (Passive Skill), when fighting old warships such as armored cruisers and protective cruisers, this ship can better use its firepower and speed advantages, and increase its firepower and speed by 10%.
Bonus Skill: Maneuver (Active Skill), which can be activated when chasing an enemy warship or escaping, increasing the speed of the warship to 30 knots, lasting 10 minutes, and having a cooldown of 1 hour.
The two battle cruisers Chen Hao were named Zhao Yun and Ma Chao respectively, and after the warships were officially named, the three warships entered the Cam Ranh Bay battle sequence. Chen Hao changed the dreadnought to a flagship, because there is a setting about the flagship in the game, and the combat effectiveness of the fleet flagship is increased by 5%.
The battleship Wudi of Han provided 5% of the combat power, which is obviously more than the 5% increase of the Qin Shi Huang. It's just a pity to do this because of the flagship attribute of the Qin Shi Huang, which was historically the flagship Mikasa of the Japanese, so there is a flagship passive skill that can increase combat effectiveness by 10%.
After Qin Shi Huang is not used as a flagship, this attribute cannot be brought into play, but this is something that cannot be helped. Chen Hao considered whether to divide the fleet into two sub-fleets and continue to let Qin Shi Huang serve as the flagship of the second fleet, but because there was no suitable commander for the time being, he could only dispel this idea.
After Chen Hao led the fleet back to Cam Ranh Bay, he immediately asked the British prisoners to command the warships to conduct exercises, and he wanted to familiarize his navy with the new warships as much as possible before the outbreak of the Battle of Tsushima. After more than 10 days of exercises and the consumption of a large number of shells, the navy's control of the three new warships reached 65 points.
The Russian Second Pacific Fleet has left the island of Madagascar and is on its way to Cam Ranh Bay, where the Navy still has a few days to train. The media reported that there were many players in the Russian fleet, and when Chen Hao's Russian fleet was resting in Cam Ranh Bay, these players would definitely come to him, and he was already thinking about how to extort more money.
Before the Russian fleet arrived, Chen Hao first ushered in a mysterious guest, and after this guest revealed his identity, he solemnly received him. The guest's name is Zhao Scorpion, and even in the game, his military demeanor can be seen from his speech and demeanor. Chen Hao attached great importance to him because he represented the military, this time acting as a lobbyist for the Russians.
"Brother Chen, I have already said what I should say, the Russian side has stated that as long as you participate in the war, they are willing to pay a certain price. Russia is actually an ally of our country, and it will be good for our country if Russia wins this battle in the game, so the opinion of the top brass is that they want you to join the war. ”
"The Russians offered $100 million, and in the game you can also claim rewards from NPCs. Hehe! Because this time the high-level came forward to get a favor from the Russians, in addition to the part paid by the Russians, the state will compensate you another 100 million dollars, you think about it!
