Du Qian was dumbfounded, and he wondered, is what the officer said true? Is it the imperial or Zhenhai? How can you listen, these are all warships? Not to mention anything else, the main warship and the air boat carrier are absolutely the weapons of the country, and their value is immeasurable.

Regardless of the era, the attrition of the Air Force and Navy is much greater than that of the Army. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info army relies on a huge number of troops, while the navy and air force have greater value of equipment and higher technical requirements.

I think that at the beginning, when I was in Pingchuan City, I could occasionally see the Imperial detachment training on the sea, and every time I could see the blood of these war orphans boiling. But it's just a sub-fleet, there are only a few main battleships, and the air carrier doesn't need to think about it.

Originally, the naval strength of the Zhoushan Empire was far inferior to Zhenhai, and the main fleet was far behind, not to mention a detachment in a remote town.

It is said that Zhenhai's military expenditure is originally several times higher than that of Zhoushan and Butian, and seventy percent of the military expenditure is used in naval construction.

In the Hundred Years War, whether it was Zhoushan or Mending Tian, the military power sounded very strong, but if you want to attack the Zhenhai Alliance, it's a joke, people live in the sea, and it's islands one by one, how do you attack?

On the other hand, if the Zhenhai Alliance wants to attack Zhoushan and Mending the Sky, it will be much easier, and if the fleet opens the way, any coastline can become a springboard for the Zhenhai Alliance to attack. But the navy is recognized as weak, afraid of death, and demanding, and is an out-and-out veteran soldier, and the navy can show off its might on the shore, but as soon as the army lands on the ground, it will be soft.

Based on this situation, the Zhenhae League is standard with more defense than enough offense. Fortunately, the Zhenhai Alliance is basically an island, which also determines that it is difficult for their system to form a whole, and can only exist in the form of an alliance. It is difficult for the population to grow rapidly, and even in the war, the death toll of Zhenhai is the least, which still puts the three major forces in a relatively balanced state.

As early as hundreds of years ago, a philosopher of Mending Heaven said that if Zhou Shan and Mending Tian, the two bastards, continued to fight with their lives, it would not be long before Zhenhai would be able to swallow them in one bite.

This sounds impossible, but it is a fact that Zhenhai's strength is constantly improving, the sea is boundless, how many islands are in the sea, not to mention Zhou Shan and Mending Tian, I am afraid that even the Zhenhai Alliance itself can't figure it out.

As long as there are enough islands, there is room for human beings to live, and the population can increase indefinitely. For the Zhenhai Alliance, the only headache for them is how to control the area and population that are constantly expanding into the deep sea.

"Okay, help me order a capital battleship. "Du Qian really wants to see it, when he was at Fisherman's Wharf before, he could only stand on the shore and look at it from a distance, wanting to board the ship, it was a dream. The navy and the army are not a system in the first place, not to mention that he is a little orphan, even if he is the lord of Pingchuan City, he has no chance to inspect the battleship.

"Do you need the Imperial Capital Ship or the Zhenhai Capital Ship?" the officer took out a small notebook and asked seriously, looking at his appearance, there are more businessmen than soldiers, what kind of troops can such an officer bring out, it really makes Du Qian doubtful.

"The people of Zhenhai are so powerful. Yao Jing said softly.

Du Qian was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, near Pingchuan City, there are both city defense troops and reserves, not to mention the regular army of Zhoushan, the equipment and training of these two miscellaneous armies, Du Qianke saw it in his eyes. It is definitely not a weak brigade, I believe that this situation is not an exception, and the army system of the Zhoushan Empire is not much different.

Obviously, this officer only became like this after he arrived in the Honghai War Zone, which shows how much the Zhenhai people corrode the imperial army.

"Then the capital ship of Zhenhai, what do I need to pay?" Du Qian asked.

"It depends on how long you rent it, how large the range of activities is, whether you need to use the strong magnetic cannon on the battleship, and if so, how much?" said the officer, it seems that this business has not existed for a day or two, and it is quite carefully divided.

"I can't settle down, can I play first and pay later?"

"This is not in accordance with the rules, if you want to play as much as possible, of course it's no problem, but you need to pay in advance, refund more and make up less, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, you say, how much do you need to pay in advance?" Du Qian didn't have any confidence in what he said, he still had more than one million golden tickets in hand, for individuals, this is definitely a huge amount of money, but when he thinks of the main battleship, this amount of money seems very thin.

In the Zhoushan Empire, the Zhoushan currency was quite strong, and for hundreds of years, it had hardly depreciated, and even appreciated slightly. can be replaced by Zhenhai Yuan, but it is not so easy to use, after all, Zhenhai's economy is far stronger than Zhoushan.

The powerful magnetic cannon, that thing is not used to hit people, but to attack battleships. The power is endless, of course, the weakness is also obvious, the speed is not enough, in front of the real strong, even if hundreds of strong magnetic cannons are locked, it is impossible to hurt the strong.

"Your Excellency, Zhoushan coins are of limited use here, if you can come up with some treasures, the price can be discounted, such as hardware, stone drums, talismans, any kind of valuable treasures. ”

"Well, what do you think of these?" Du Qian was relieved, the last thing he lacked was hardware, originally he was too lazy to pick it up, but later considered that it might be used when making tools, so he collected a part. In his eyes, hardware that doesn't have much value is not cheap here. Du Qian's vision is high, and small pieces or hardware of slightly worse quality will never be picked up.

Du Qian is not stupid, he already knows the importance of not revealing money, although there are not many people who can make him feel scared now, there is no harm in being cautious, so what he took out was four pieces of strong steel.

The officer's eyes became bright, and he nodded again and again: "Enough, these are enough, I will help you arrange, send you to a nearby hotel first, the conditions may be worse, at the latest tomorrow morning, you can contact the main battleship of Zhenhai, if it is fast, you can live on the battleship tonight." ”

Yao Jing shook his head secretly, the boy is careless, you took the strong steel out for the sake of wealth and not to show it, but with such a big four pieces of strong steel, you can only have a ghost in your pocket, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that you have a space talisman on your body. Not to mention four pieces of fierce steel, even if it is exchanged for Mingjin, the value may not be higher than a space talisman.

Of course, Yao Jing thinks about the same as Du Qian, anyway, he just came here for a vacation, with the strength of Du Qian and Xiaoxin, plus the three puppets, in this world, except for a few people, whoever fights them is asking for their own trouble.

At the farthest end of the beach bazaar, a bald man squatted on the ground, and in front of him, a bunch of specialties from Zhenhai were placed. There are many specialties in Zhenhai, and the people of Zhoushan are most familiar with all kinds of industrial products, as well as deep sea liquor and other wines, in fact, there are far more resources in the sea than on land.

Occasionally, when he looked up, his eyes showed a fierce light, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Everyone here knows that you can guess by looking at his appearance that this is a pirate.

A group of pirates is a street rat in Zhoushan, and it is difficult to form a scale. Like last time, the attack on Pingchuan Castle is extremely rare.

It's completely different in Zhenhae, the pirates are an extremely powerful force, and their relationships are intricate. Don't think that pirates are pirates and pirates are black. Under the names of the major forces of the Zhenhai Alliance, who does not have a few pirates in their hands?

In addition to these fake pirates, the power of real pirates is equally powerful and outrageous. The children who were expelled by the consortium, the civilians whose families were ruined, and for various reasons, countless pirates were born, and when they united, even the Zhenhai Alliance was unwilling to go to war with them.

In a head-on conflict, of course, pirates do not have the weapons of mass destruction like the main warship, nor can they make their own air boat carrier, which is a sea fortress that integrates mobility, attack, and defense. But the pirate's deep-diving ship is enough to make the Zhenhai Navy uncomfortable to death.

The average individual combat power of pirates far exceeds that of the Zhenhai Navy, not to mention that there are many smart people among the pirates, and they rarely take the initiative to attack the navy and take advantage of your commercial fleet, even if there are escort warships, they are often destroyed and killed.

Pirates are also human beings, and naturally they need food and clothing, and they also need ships, warships, and all kinds of equipment. What's more, pirates pay more attention to personal cultivation, and cultivation cannot be stopped, which requires the support of various resources, and does not do business, where do these things come from?

Robbing is naturally an important source of wealth, but most of the time, what is grabbed is civilian materials, should these things be sold?

Doing business is a must, and everyone in Zhenhai knows that doing serious business with pirates is the most profitable. The goods they sell are half the market price, and the purchase price of the things they buy is twice as high.

Zhenhai people pay attention to reputation, which is even true of pirates, robbing you is robbing you, and business is business. When robbing, it is extremely bloody, and killing people and stealing goods is commonplace.

The so-called hotel makes people quite speechless, in fact, there is no town near here at all, dozens of tents are lined up, this is the so-called temporary hotel, you don't want to be unhappy, there are many businessmen who come to the beach market, such a tent hotel, it doesn't matter, it really can't be lined up.

Looking at the hotel in front of him, Du Qian simply turned around and left, in the open space not far away, the three puppets were busy, and in a moment, a seemingly similar temporary camp was formed, the tent was brought, and the conditions inside were much more comfortable than the tent hotel.

Not to mention, this officer's ability is quite good, he didn't let Du Qian wait too far, in the evening, the five of them had just finished dinner, and the officer took a few people to find the temporary camp. (To be continued.) )
