Chapter 272: The first phase of the Navy's construction plan

"This ......"

Knowing that the treasury reserves, which had always been impressed, were extremely thick, there were only 500,000 gold left at this time, Yingji's body trembled, and he suddenly felt a black in front of him. m.

You must know that at the beginning of this year, when a series of imperial revenues such as taxes were counted, Yingji clearly remembered that Shang Jun and Wei Ran were full of confidence at that time, and reported to themselves with a spring breeze that the total income of the imperial treasury reached five or six million gold this year.

But I didn't expect that a series of empire-building plans were really squandered, and before I knew it, I had already consumed ten of the ** stored in the treasury.

You must know that it is glittering gold, and the entire more than five million gold is gone all of a sudden, which makes Yingji, who was originally a businessman, how can she not be heartbroken?

But Yingji also understands that if he doesn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, now that the empire's various plans and construction are progressing steadily, none of them can be stopped, so he can only throw money.

There is not enough money here, throw money, there is not enough money, throw money.

In short, it's just a sentence, throw money, smash it to death!

Although the truth is clear, Yingji is still heartbroken.

Originally, Yingji thought that she was a poor ghost in front of the system, but she didn't expect that she was still a poor ghost in reality, which was really helpless.

Don't think that there are still several generations of Great Qin's legacy stored in the imperial treasury.

Yingji can responsibly say that it is impossible.

You must know that during the period of King Wu, although the military strength has developed, the people's livelihood has withered, the treasury is empty, and it is simply impossible to make ends meet.

And the reason for all this has to be traced to the cheap father in Yingji, Qin Huiwen Wang Yingsi.

During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, he attacked the two countries of Bashu, started a war with the state of Chu, and started a war with the Sanjin, and the battles were one after another.

After years of continuous war, Yingsi has already lost all the family wealth that was handed down during the filial piety period, which is the culprit that there is nothing left in the imperial treasury today.

That is why the financial situation of the imperial treasury is now in dire straits, and the situation of financial emptiness has emerged.

......

"As the Minister of the Navy said, the construction of the navy cannot be delayed, and no one can be poor in the navy, even if it is carried out for 10,000 years, and even more with the power of the empire, the navy must be built. ”

Above the court, Yingji said solemnly, with an undoubted meaning in her tone.

Yingji comes from modern society, and clearly knows that most of the humiliations in China are caused by the lack of a strong navy to escort them.

Qiang Qin is gone, the Han and Tang dynasties are not there, the first day of the lamentation, the imperial sunset!

Therefore, Yingji's heart is naturally full of feelings for a kind of giant ship cannon galloping across the ocean.

I also understand the importance of the navy to a coastal country, the absolute top priority.

"Even the small land of the city-state of Athens has a powerful navy, how can the empire be left behind?"

Bismarck didn't know that what he had just said, coupled with the current financial embarrassment of the empire, had actually given birth to a kind of mentality between civilizations.

"But Your Majesty, the Empire's treasury ......"

"Needless to say!"

At this time, Wei Ran wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yingji directly raising his hand.

"The two ministers, passing on my will, transferred 500,000 gold from the treasury and handed it over to the Minister of the Navy Bismarck, to devote it to the construction of the navy. ”

Looking at His Majesty's firmness and that unquestionable meaning, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell silent and stopped talking.

Instead, Yingji looked at Bismarck and said.

"Bismarck, now, should be called the Minister of the Admiralty. ”

"Minister of the Navy, now the Imperial Empire's financial resources cannot support the comprehensive construction of the Imperial Navy, so we can only settle for the second!"

"Lord of the Admiralty, tell me what your plans are and how much money do you need?"

"As long as you can forge a strong navy for the Empire, whatever you may ask for, I will satisfy you. ”

Hearing Yingji's words, Bismarck's heart suddenly rose with emotion.

You must know that in the world time and space in which you were originally located, whether it was Wilhelm I or Wilhelm II, the two emperors of the German Empire, although they could be called holy monarchs.

But he has never trusted himself as much as His Majesty does now, let alone said that he would support himself to build a navy with all the power of the Empire.

Suddenly, an unprecedented feeling surged over Bismarck.

I can't tell, I can't tell.

However, if there were imperial ministers from China who knew Bismarck's thoughts at this time, they would definitely be sure that Bismarck must have given birth to the idea of dying as a confidant.

"Back to Your Majesty, if the financial support of the empire is insufficient, then naval construction can only be secondary. ”

"The minister also sorted out the first phase of the construction plan of the navy according to the financial situation of the empire. ”

"The first phase of the construction of the Navy: the empire will form at least two fleets, and the scope of operations will be at least radiating to the western Pacific edge near Guam. ”

"Each fleet has at least 20 large ships, including 15 large combat ships, three large supply ships, and two large troop carriers. ”

"At least fifty medium-sized ships, of which thirty-five are combat ships, five are medium-sized transport and supply ships, and ten are medium-sized troop carriers. ”

"At least 100 small ships, including 60 small warships, 20 small material carriers, and 20 small troop carriers. ”

"Each fleet has one hundred and seventy ships, a total of two fleets, and a total of at least three hundred and forty ships!"

"With such a powerful Imperial Navy, it is enough to strengthen the Imperial Sea Power and initially expand the Empire's sphere of influence to the Western Pacific region. ”

"Taking into account the operational needs and practical reasons, the minister deliberately proposed that the displacement of small ships of the Imperial Navy should not be less than 3,000 tons, the displacement of medium ships should be maintained at least about 6,000 to 7,000 tons, and the displacement of large ships must exceed 10,000 tons, and the data should preferably fluctuate between 10,000 and 11,000 tons. ”

"The personnel requirements are about 50,000 crew members and about 25,000 marines, all of whom are fully equipped with weapons and equipment. ”

"In addition, it takes 200,000 people's manpower to build at least two deep-water harbors for the emperor ** ship to stay!"

"Of course, the empire also needs at least two large shipyards capable of building a displacement of less than 15,000 tons, and the funds are expected to cost about 300,000 to 400,000 gold. ”

"And these, according to the minister's speculation, the first phase of naval construction from the beginning to the completion of the minimum capital of 2.4 million gold, preferably as much as possible. ”

Bismarck's tone did not pause at all, and he just went through it in his mind, and directly came up with the blueprint for the first phase of the construction of the Imperial Navy, which was most in line with the needs of the Imperial Empire.
