ACT390: The magic is still there
Back at his old nest Star Castle, Zhao Jian was immersed in joy at this time, not knowing that he had been remembered by a group of particularly difficult guys. In this meeting with the Seventh Prince Li Shun, Zhao Jian not only made himself one less enemy, but also earned a lot of "foundry fees" from the other party.
The first batch of 12 warships had a total tonnage of more than 40,000 tons, but Zhao was stunned to ask for 8 times the amount of steel, and there was also a large list of materials, including some rare metals.
And Li Shun is also very satisfied with Zhao Jian's offer, after all, for him, the resources are easy to get, but the ship is difficult to build! If a warship is ordered from a shipyard in Britain and the United States, a 2,000-ton destroyer will have to throw in millions of US dollars, and it will take years to deliver.
In comparison, Zhao Jian's side is simply a "conscience price"! And it's built at an astonishing rate. In addition, Zhao Jian assured Li Shun that the performance of these warships will definitely not be worse than that of warships of the same level in developed countries, and Li Shun only needs to prepare the divine core and sailors, and wait for the ships to start training.
If you simply compare production capacity, Zhao Jian has the confidence to compete with the current US imperialists!
"Girls, Young Master Ben is back, is anyone ready to give me a hug?"
As soon as the Feiyue stopped at the berth, the Zhao ship, whose feet had just stepped on the platform, opened his arms to the ship girls who came to greet him. But when he saw the two figures who were the first to respond to him, his face suddenly changed, and at the same time, his body subconsciously took a lunge, ready to resist the impact!
"Daddy!"
βWo~οΌβ
The two guys who rushed towards Zhao Jian were Andrea, who "recognized the thief as his father" because of his mental trauma, and the other was Wo Sauce, who would ask Zhao Jian for a kiss whenever he was hungry. These two "big cute things" can be said to be the two most sticky Zhao ship girls on the Star Castle at present, but the hug of both of them has the kind of impact that ordinary people may need to bear with "life"!
Andrea's "rocket hammer" could perhaps be a little better. Wo-chan's big hat even comes with a certain amount of "AOE damage"! Once Zhao Jian and Wo Sauce met unexpectedly in the cafeteria, and the other party swept over King Kong's black tea, Meow Bo's omelet rice and Sister Chuan's spicy chicken along the way, and the chaos at that time Cheng dΓΉ can be described as "miserable"!
So when I saw the two "meat bullets" attacking together, the pressure on Zhao Jian was not ordinary!
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Hongling stood up in time to save his young master's life. As soon as she stood in front of Zhao Jian, Andrea and Wo Chan all braked sharply and stopped, and then stood in front of Hongling like a schoolboy.
Don't look at Hongling's gentle personality and never quarrel with anyone, but it is precisely because of this character that makes people feel like a spring breeze that she has established a special maternal majesty among the young ship girls. Zhao Jian sometimes teased Hongling with this. Praise the other party for having a "positive palace aura"!
With Hongling's escort, Ellie and Wo Jiang hugged the battleship in a relatively gentle way, and then the others stepped forward to greet them one by one, among which Luo Shengnan also handed him a list of recent work progress, so that Zhao Jian could concisely and intuitively understand the situation in his hometown during the time he left Star Castle.
"Oh~ Is the new mine already ready for full production?"
"In order to improve work efficiency, Xia Guan asked the engineering team to dig 6 mines on the surface of the star at the same time, and then dispersed all the laborers and distributed them evenly to each sub-mining area."
"Are the captives honest? Prison guards should also learn their duty, right? β
"Yes! After we took the initiative to restrain our prison guards, the workers also cooperated a lot. β
"That's good. I will not detain these laborers for the rest of my life, and when the outside world allows, I will keep my promise to release them and return home. β
"But Lord Admiral, I don't think they'll thank you for that."
"Miss Katsuo. Believe me! When the day comes when the 'war' ends, they will. β
On the night of returning to Star Castle, Zhao Jian used a communicator to contact Datang and directly told Li Ti about his contact with the Seventh Prince. However, when it comes to stating the process. Zhao Jian did not tell Li Ti the real reason why he contacted the Seventh Prince.
He lied that he wanted to catch the other party's fish, but after the target took the bait, he unexpectedly found that the other party had a good use value. Instead of expending his own strength to eliminate the power of the Seven Princes in South America. It's better to use it for your own use regardless of your previous suspicions, after all, the other party is also their Li clan's clan.
Under the persuasion of Zhao Jian, Li Ti, who already attached great importance to blood and family affection, accepted his rhetoric, expressed his willingness to lobby Mengzong to agree, and thanked Zhao Jian for "acting at the opportunity".
After ending the communication, Zhao Jian said with a smug face.
"It is a great merit to let your relatives not turn against each other!"
"Cut! It's a good thing to say, don't you just want to be a good person at both ends, and then reap the benefits at both ends? β
Hearing that Zhao Jian was boasting again, Ji Yi, who was leaning on the floor-to-ceiling window and watching the scenery, complained to the other party mercilessly. Zhao Jian was not annoyed by this, because he did have similar plans.
"Don't say that, I'll be a good guy once in a while!"
"If you were a good person, wouldn't I be a saint!"
With a charming and charming smile, Ji Yi swayed to Zhao Jian's desk, jumped lightly and sat down, and then swayed a pair of slender black silk legs in front of the other party. The jade feet without shoes will touch Zhao Jian's thighs from time to time, and the movements seem to be unintentional but actually intentional!
Gently stroking the slender calf without a trace of fat, Zhao Jian asked softly with a smile.
"You want to beg me to let you join the combat unit again?"
"I just want to ask my Admiral, is the slave's service still satisfactory to you?"
"Hmmm! Recently, I have indeed grown a lot, and my 'work' is getting better and better! Overall, I'm satisfied. But I think you should understand that this is not the transformation I want to see the most. β
"But you do, don't you? Let's say ...... this."
Ji Yi said, stretching out his jade foot to Zhao Jian's body, and gently drawing circles with his soft toes.
In the face of the witch's seduction~bewitchment attack, although Zhao Jian wanted to pretend to be inadvertent, his gradually heavy snort still betrayed him, causing Ji Yi to chuckle.
"My Admiral, you are a hypocrisy! Obviously, the slave family has already seen your most violent side, so why bother pretending to be a decent gentleman now? β
"Because ......"
"Because you don't want to lose the initiative...... Is what the slave said right? β
ββ¦β¦ Quite right! β
With a few words, Zhao Jian's thoughts were broken, and Ji Yi seemed to have regained the style of a witch in the past, which made people quite unbearable, and this was precisely the reason why Zhao Jian was reluctant to integrate her into the fleet...... He was still worried that he wouldn't be able to control this witch! (To be continued......)
PS: In terms of plot, the little ship man will soon experience one of the most difficult battles he has ever fought, the kind that the witch will lose if she doesn't join the team!
