Since the beginning of this small group meeting, Councillor Iber has been cautious for fear of saying the wrong thing. After all, as a businessman and dignitary, he has a large share of the smuggling share in Angry Waves City. If the eldest princess wants to strictly arrest smuggling this time, not only will her own interests be damaged, but if she is investigated in the future, even if she can save her life, she will inevitably cut her flesh and vomit blood.

This time, Detective Meteor showed that he could open up his own people to smuggle people, which was a reassurance to Congressman Ibur.

To whom is the smuggling protection money given?

It is said that it is for His Majesty, but it must first pass the hands of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. The eldest princess took the money, and the people below could do things with confidence.

Councilor Ibur, who was accustomed to trading power for money, found himself in the adaptation zone, and immediately assured Luke in good spirits: "Inspector, don't worry...... Leave it to me to convince the other two councillors. ”

Viscount Iscollan said: "By lobbying alone, those two councillors may not fall to us, and the necessary pressure needs to be given to them."

The Inspector recruited a group of Naga pirates, and also prepared to build a fleet, presumably preparing to set up a maritime anti-smuggling fleet. ”

This......

It should be a smuggling fleet to be exact, but if you have to say that this is an anti-smuggling fleet, I can't deny it.

"Yes, I know I can't hide it from the Viscount. The anti-smuggling work in Angry Waves City originally belonged to the city's security department, but the original anti-smuggling fleet has been abandoned, and the few only broken boats are too slow to go out to sea to fish.

Maritime smuggling must be restarted, and the old team cannot be used again.

As soon as I arrived in Cape District, I contacted Lady Tasia, the Naga queen of Fishbone Island. The pirates of Fishbone Island did not commit a big crime that could not be handled, and at the same time, the Naga people on Fishbone Island also faced serious survival problems. I have reached a cooperative development agreement with Mrs. Taasia to build a fleet in the name of the Burning Sun Trading Group, and there are currently 36 ships of all types.

I plan to purchase another 100 to 200 small speedboats, and when the time comes, I will turn this fleet into an anti-smuggling fleet directly under the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau, specializing in combating smuggling at sea. ”

Mrs. Mishil and Congressman Iber were shocked again.

Collaborating with the Naga pirates is a crime that Virgil has given to the Meteorite Detective. When the Cape District Intelligence Bureau attacked the mining area in the north of the city, many people saw a large number of Naga appear in the team.

Now after Viscount Iscoran's explanation, they understood...... It turns out that Detective Meteor recruited pirates in order to form a maritime anti-smuggling fleet.

There are strong ships and cannons at sea, and there are sea tribe naga under the water, and all those who want to smuggle must weigh whether their ships can get out of this big net before entering and leaving the port.

"My husband's mechanical lab can design a speedboat for the Inspector's anti-smuggling fleet," said Mrs. Michell. The speedboat is fully steam-powered, and although it consumes a lot of energy, it does not need to be resupplied when used offshore. ”

Councillor Ibur then said: "The task of building a ship has been entrusted to me. For ships under 100 tons, my shipyard can deliver a hundred ships in just three months. The money for shipbuilding can be booked first, and then given when the inspector has money...... Or you can deduct it from your taxes in the future. ”

Luke didn't expect to get himself a hundred fully steam-powered speedboats in a few words. It's just that this kind of speedboat can't be used for ocean voyages, and the side business of its own anti-smuggling fleet is anti-smuggling.

Smuggling is the main business.

"Can your shipyard build large, all-metal, all-steam-powered ships?"

Councillor Ibur paused for a moment, apparently he hadn't expected Detective Meteor to ask for such a ship.

"Inspector, all-metal all-steam-powered ships will definitely be the trend of ship development in the future, but there are still many technical problems that cannot be solved. My shipyard is also working on this type of ship, but it has not been able to build it in recent years.

I heard that the Imperial Royal Shipyard had built a test ship weighing 5,000 tons, but because of power problems, it could not reach even 7 knots.

If it's a large wooden ship with all-steam-powered metal dome, my shipyard can build it. ”

Luke, who knew that the all-metal battleship would soon appear, was not interested in wooden ships.

It just so happens that he has a battleship DIY strategy in his phone, and he can take it out and use it now.

The so-called battleship DIY strategy is a group of players who love naval warfare in the era, and have sorted out a self-made ship strategy. In order to perfect this strategy, they traveled to shipyards and R&D institutions related to ships throughout the Anno world, recording and integrating the technology and manufacturing capabilities they possessed in different time periods.

Gathering the best technology of all maritime nations and building their own strongest warship is the fun of this group of naval battle players.

In the midst of fun, they even designed an all-metal, all-steam-powered battleship in the Anno world.

Although this DIY battleship, named "First Machine", has very strained performance in all aspects, it appeared a full two years earlier than the ironclad ship in the real sense of the Anno world. In the past two years, the "first machine" has definitely been the overlord of the ocean.

First Machine: An all-steam-powered, all-metal battleship

Full load displacement: 2894 tons

Length: 59.99 m, width: 12.19 m

Power: 2 coal-fired horizontal 2-cylinder steam engines produced by the Als Federation, 4 round coal-fired boilers produced by the Kingdom of Nagoo, and variable speed assemblies in the Emirate of Egoo. Twin-shaft propulsion, 2,400 hp, 10.5 knots, 50 mm thick armored deck, 200 mm thick waterline belt armor.

Armament: 1 240mm front gun, 2 150mm secondary guns, and 2 57mm guns produced by Golden Shield Imperial Heavy Industry. 4 18-inch torpedo tubes produced by the Republic of Kati.

Luke doesn't know if the real Era World can DIY the "First Machine", but everything that assembles the battleship is available now, and it depends on the shipyard's integration and redesign capabilities in the hands of Councilor Ibur.

"Our Secret Intelligence Agency is actually secretly developing ironclad ships." Luke's words aroused everyone's interest: "But unlike the Imperial Royal Shipyard to develop its own warships, we are sending spies scattered all over the world to spy on the progress of ironclad research in various maritime countries.

Then there was an assembly list. At present, countries have less strict restrictions on such technologies and equipment, and most of them are produced in private factories or laboratories, which can be bought with money.

I give you the equipment purchase list, which contains detailed equipment specifications and performance data. You order according to the list, and then you build the ship according to the hull design I gave you, and then you install the equipment in it.

As long as we prove that the performance of this battleship meets the requirements, a batch of equipment will be purchased on a large scale before the countries find out and restrict exports. When the time comes...... We have the strongest maritime anti-smuggling fleet in the world. ”

The three of them didn't understand what kind of smuggling ship needed to be dealt with with by a maritime anti-smuggling fleet of this power. But they know that with such an ironclad ship in their hands, what they can do is not necessarily anti-smuggling work.

With such a powerful fleet unique in the world, Her Majesty has to think about the contribution that her daughter can make to the empire.

But is it reliable to buy equipment from everywhere and assemble it on a battleship?

This is not a toy brick!

"That's a lot of money," Ibor asked. ”

Mrs. Michiel said, "My husband's lab can help. As long as there are no problems with the performance of the device, minor assembly deviations can be corrected using alchemy. The cost is worth trying no matter how high it is for such a warship with cross-era significance.

I am confident that when this warship sails in the sea outside the city of Fury Waves, there will be no more voices against us in the city. ”

Viscount Iscollan also said: "I agree with this attempt...... Of course, it also depends on the capabilities of the shipyards of the Ibur parliamentarians. ”

"There are absolutely no problems with the capabilities of my shipyard." Ibre did not allow any questioning of the quality of his factory: "Leave the assembly of this battleship to me, and I will personally organize the best engineers and boatmen." As long as there are no problems with the drawings and equipment, I can build it.

Detective, what's the name of this battleship? ”

Luke, the first ......, continued the player's name for the DIY ship and reassured Ibur: "I will pay for the construction of this ship in full, you can only build it, no matter what it causes...... I'll do it all.

Now you know what I'm doing to fight smuggling in Angry Waves. What can you do for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? ”

Luke turned back to the topic and looked at Viscount Iscoran.

You've read everything Inspector Ben did, and it's time for you to explode some of your own material.

Viscount Iscolan replied: "I think I can take on the work of security. The Iscoran family has some power in the city of Fury Waves, and I can also recruit some members of the Brotherhood to provide you with protection based on the Assassin Tavern, and I can also conduct intelligence espionage and gathering.

In the future, as we approach step by step, our opponents may use any means. With the ability to counteract, when they consider using assassination and other means against us, they will also be afraid that we have the same means of retaliation. ”

Iscolan functions are indispensable in this group.

The capabilities of the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau insult the name of the Secret Intelligence Bureau, and the entire Secret Intelligence Bureau can only show its hands on the intelligence and security front, and it is obviously not enough.

And the Iscoran family is the head snake of Angry Waves City, his security protection is real security protection, and his security deterrence is also real security deterrence. If the new nobles don't want to fight with their lives, they must abide by the rules of the game of this battle and don't play assassination at every turn.

Viscount Iscoran is the cornerstone of the security of this small group.

"Viscount Iscoran is an indispensable member of ours." Luke nodded and looked at Councillor Ibur.

Councilor Ibur hurriedly said, "I am a member of the Council of Angry Waves City, and the chief official of the city's finance and taxation department. Famous entrepreneur and philanthropist...... I own four fleets, five factories, and a whole shopping street......"

Luke stopped him from continuing: "Councillor Ebur is an integral part of our team. ”

Lady Mihir said, "I am a member of the Council of the Angry Waves. Although I do not have the family of Viscount Iscoran or the wealth of Councilor Ibur, I believe that my mind can help our community.

And Miss Sunny Sky and I are very good friends, Miss Sunny Sky's force and charm can bring us a lot of convenience. I think this, Detective Meteor is very clear. ”

Mrs. Michiel knew that she had too little to offer compared to Viscount Iscollan and Councillor Ibur, and she had to move the clear sky out.

"Yes, Miss Weatherlight is on our side, and it's our luck. Mrs. Mihir's abilities during this time have made you an indispensable part of our community. Luke concluded, "Now I declare...... The Angry Waves Innovation Society was established. Karina, I would like to send you the declaration of the founding of our Innovation Society. ”

"Yes, Inspector." Karina, who was standing behind Luke, took out the papers from her shoulder bag and handed them out to the three people.

Mrs. Michiel and Councillor Ebur had already received a notice from Luke that they would form a reformist faction that would be different from the old system in Raging Waves.

This time, I saw him officially named the Innovation Society, and came up with a program, which can be regarded as preparing to make this society bigger and stronger. This must be the instruction of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and she is secretly cultivating her own team, and the intention of competing for the crown prince is already obvious. The two of them looked at the founding declaration of the Innovation Society with joy, thinking that they were one of the elders of the entire political group.

One step closer to becoming a cabinet minister.

Viscount Iscoran had just returned, and it was the first time he had heard the name of the Innovation Society. He looked curiously at the document in his hand, and was immediately attracted to the contents.

At the same time, he not only asked Luke: "Detective, what criteria do you need to join our Innovation Society?" ”

"We at the Renewal Society are open to everyone, not just officials, even the poor, and we accept them as long as they understand our program and are willing to fight for our common goals," Luke said. But if you want to be a member of the Innovation Society, you need to have a higher level of awareness......

First of all, there must be two full members of the Innovation Society as introducers, and secondly, there must be a spirit of dedication to the community.

Be loyal to the empire, loyal to the community, actively study, and conform to the trend of the development of the times. With new ideas and new technologies, we will lead Nutao City along a new path of development.

Our innovation club is not a political society, but an ideological and philosophical society, a literary and cultural society, and a technological innovation society......"

But in the ears of Viscount Iscoran, Councillor Ibre, and Lady Mihir, this is the political community. Moreover, it is a society that is to be prepared to include all strata of society, and it is important to know that the various groups that exist in the empire have their own small circles. The members of the Blade-Bearing Brotherhood are mainly hereditary nobles; The main body of the Cross Foundation is the new aristocracy; The sorority founded by Mrs. Michiel could not even enter the hall without any status.

And the Innovation Club turned out to be this kind of acceptance standard...... The eldest princess is playing a big one this time!
