Chapter 89: The Great Construction
Senge, the commander-in-chief of the Watt Federation, was also a well-known admiral when he was young. In battles with various surrounding forces, www.biquge.info was one of the most outstanding admirals in the history of the Watt Federation.
However, as he grew older, he participated in fewer and fewer battles, and generally sat in the rear and coordinated the overall situation. To this day, he hadn't personally led a fleet in battle for years, so much so that many were on the verge of forgetting him. But I have to admit that he is still an irreplaceable pillar of the Federation.
In the eastern part of the federation, Samba Island, a village-level island that was once under the jurisdiction of Maple Leaf Island. It had been occupied by the Second Fleet of the Smaples Navy a few days earlier. At this moment, one hundred and fifty warships were stationed here, waiting for the order of the fleet commander to attack.
The commander of this fleet was a capable woman in her thirties named Ma Shu. She has a very high status in the country of Sima, not only the sister of the current monarch, but also one of the three most powerful figures in the country.
"Commander, the plan has failed, the people of the Watt Federation are cowards, no matter how I provoke and lure, they just cower in the harbor and can't come out."
A muscular officer walked in and said angrily. It's just that, while scolding, his eyes flickered a little, as if he was afraid of being punished. After all, whatever the reason, it can't hide the fact that he didn't complete the task.
Ma Shu nodded slightly, ignored him, and only continued to read the news sent by the intelligence department. It took a full five minutes before she raised her head and said lightly: "Rear Admiral Beko, did you find anything unusual when provoking the Watt Federation fleet?" ”
"Anomaly?" Major General Beko's face was full of doubts, "It seems to be ...... There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary ”
"Really?" Ma Shu's expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "But the intelligence department sent a message saying that those warships stationed on Maple Island have become much more confident than a few days ago. A few days ago, their fleet was chaotic and disorderly, and everyone sighed, but today, not only did they hold a speech on resisting the enemy, but also everyone's face showed fighting spirit. Such a big change, it's weird, isn't it? ”
"Did the commander deduce something?" Major General Beko asked cautiously.
Ma Shu looked at his dense battleships and said slowly: "If nothing else, Senge, the commander-in-chief of the Watt Federation, should have arrived at ......."
After hearing this, Beko was not surprised, and laughed: "Hahaha, sure enough, the commander expected it, that bad old man is really here." So, are we going to start executing those two plans? ”
"Of course, after confronting those idiots here for so long, isn't this the moment you've been waiting for?" A confident glint flashed in Ma Shu's eyes, "Send the order to Major General Zhu Tong, and the plan of 'Directly Smashing the Yellow Dragon' has been officially launched." Now that the Watt Federation is empty, if he can reach the vicinity of Hurricane Island and threaten the enemy capital, I will give him the first credit! ”
"Yes!" Beko nodded vigorously, "Then when are we going to attack Maple Island?" ”
"An hour later." Ma Shu replied lightly, "If nothing else, Major General Zhu Tong, who is stationed in the northern part of the enemy at that time, should be able to reach Hurricane Island." The attack on the capital without a fleet to defend it was a great blow to the enemy's morale. At that point, that old Senge guy is going to be in a dilemma......"
The two armies are playing games, and calculations are endless. However, none of this has much to do with Bai Lingfeng. At this moment, he is buying resources and preparing for a big build.
Originally, he wanted to wait until the battleship pool on Qianlong Island was built before considering the matter of Dajian, because he had some secrets about Dajian that he didn't want others to know, and if he built Dajian on someone else's territory, it would inevitably be leaked.
But now that Moga Island and Glory Island have become his territory, and it just so happens that these two town-level islands have battleship pools. In this way, there is no need to wait for the battleship pool on Qianlong Island to be built.
Whether it is Moga Island or Rongguang Island, they are fundamentally different from Qianlong Island. Although they are both town-level islands, the first two have a population of tens of thousands and a thriving economy, with most of the land already developed. The two islands have nearly 100 million yuan in tax revenue every year.
And Qianlong Island is not only in a barren state, but also sparsely populated, not to mention taxes, it is impossible to develop rapidly without throwing billions into it.
Of course, if you really put a lot of effort into development, Qianlong Island will be able to catch up in less than two years. After all, its geography is no worse than that of Murga Island and Rongguang Island, and the land is fertile enough to grow food crops. In a few years, it may become the largest food supplier to the surrounding islands.
Bai Lingfeng has accumulated a lot of wealth during this time, although he spent half of it to help Ming Xue and them buy equipment not long ago, but there are still 1.3 billion left. Of course, some of them were used up later, but these days a lot of salvaged ships and ship equipment have been sold, so that the available funds have increased instead of decreasing, reaching 1.4 billion.
Worried that the Great Zhou currency would depreciate due to the decline of the Great Zhou Empire, Bai Lingfeng began to hoard construction resources after owning his own territory. In this world, high-density steel, high-density aluminum, and compressed oil are the real hard currency!
So far, Bai Lingfeng's Great Zhou Coins have been almost spent, and there are only about 100 million left. But on the other hand, the various construction resources have reached a terrifying amount!
The average price per unit of high-density steel is 1,200 yuan, and high-density aluminum and compressed oil are more expensive, but they are also between 1,300 and 1,400 per unit. Bai Lingfeng directly purchased 1.3 billion, and the total of various construction resources reached 1 million!
Together with the more than 300,000 resources that were seized in Huludao, a total of 1.34 million.
With so many resources, other Admirals are enough to use it to build hundreds of times!
However, these resources are nothing to Bai Lingfeng, because he, like Ren in the past, is a madman, and he can use two or three hundred thousand resources for a large construction.
Sure, Wren was really crazy, but he was different, and he had a good reason to do it.
In fact, the world's universally recognized norms for large-scale construction are only low-level large-scale construction standards. What is the minimum investment of 100 units of each resource and the maximum of 1,000 units of each resource. Less than 100 units will not be able to build a ship, and more than 1,000 units will be a waste.
But in fact, more than 1,000 units are not all wasted, as long as a single resource investment exceeds 100,000, it can greatly increase the probability of the appearance of the best battleship. And this kind of large-scale construction method is called high-level large-scale construction by alien civilizations.
Bai Lingfeng had always planned to take the elite route, so what he was going to adopt was naturally the principle of high construction!
