When the two parties signed their names on the contract, the contract was officially established, and Yang Feng handed Nikolavich a check for $1 million.

Nikolavich, who got the check, snapped his fingers excitedly.

Looking at the excited Nikolavich, Yang Feng couldn't help but remind on the side, "Mr. Nikolavich, I have to remind you that you will have to deliver the goods in three months, if you can't deliver the goods by then, you will have to compensate for liquidated damages, and you will never want to get any orders from me again." ”

"Dear Yang, in the words of you Huaxia people, you can put 100 hearts, I may not be able to build the latest modern warship here, but if I can't even build a four-hundred-year-old wooden sail warship, I should retire home and hug my grandson. Isn't it just a few sail warships, there is absolutely no problem, and for the sake of you being the first customer of our factory this quarter. I can also give you a bonus, I'll equip a ship with iron armor on the side of the ship for free, so you don't have to worry about your opponent punching a big hole in your ship when you fight someone else, hahaha. After saying that, Nikolavich laughed.

But Yang Feng didn't laugh, but Nikolavich's unintentional words reminded him. Although it is impossible for him to put something too modern on a sail battleship, it is still possible to equip a battleship with a layer of iron armor.

In the original historical time and space, it would not appear until the 19th century to put a layer of iron armor on the sail battleship, and now it will appear 200 years earlier, so there should be no problem.

Yang Feng's style is to think of doing it, and he clapped his hands.

"I've decided to put a layer of iron armor on every warship."

"Hey...... I said Yang, you won't be here for real, right? "Now it was Nikolavich's turn to be surprised.

"I just said casually, it's not the 19th century, and it's useless to equip a sail warship with iron armor, at best, it can only withstand those primitive breech guns, and it can't resist the attack of modern weapons at all, and this will also lead to a significant increase in costs, which simply outweighs the loss."

In the face of Nikolavich's advice, Yang Feng said unmoved, "I have already decided, to clothe every warship with a layer of iron, as for the cost, I will give it to you." ”

"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say." Nikolavich shrugged his shoulders, and he could only express helplessness at the eccentric character of the rich man.

Since the new requirements were made, the cost naturally went up, and after recalculation, the price of each ship rose to 400,000 US dollars.

After re-signing the contract, not only Nikolavich, but Yang Feng was also relieved.

The reason why he came to the current society to customize sail warships is because the battle of the Matsu Islands brought him a deep sense of crisis.

In the first battle of the Matsu Islands, almost all the seven main warships of the Second Fleet were wounded, especially the Zhenning, which was almost sunk and is still lying on the dock for repairs.

This battle also made Yang Feng realize that Zheng Zhilong's strength has grown rapidly in this year, and with the support of the Dutch, it is very difficult for Fujian Shui to defeat Zheng Zhilong quickly.

Lu Guangbiao and Liu Xiang also reacted to him that the sixth-level battleships equipped by the Fujian Navy Division could no longer form an absolute advantage in the face of the Dafu ships equipped by Zheng Zhilong Group, so when facing the battleships that occupied the numerical advantage, it was inevitable to be injured or even sunk.

After listening to the reports of the two, the construction of the fourth-class battleship was put on the agenda by Yang Feng. Since it is not possible to increase the number of warships to the same level as the Zheng group in the short term, we can only start with quality.

But then, the problem arises again. Everyone knows that the greater the tonnage of the battleship, the higher the cost and difficulty of manufacturing, although there is already a full set of manufacturing drawings, but Mawei Shipyard has made it clear that it will take at least half a year to manufacture the first battleship, and if you want to manufacture it in batches, it will not take a year to do it, since Yang Feng can't wait so long, he can only turn his attention to modern society in desperation, which is why he has this trip to Ukraine.

Nikolavich, who received a deposit of $500,000, was in a good mood and sent an invitation to Yang Feng and Vladimir to his home.

When Yang Feng was first invited, he was still a little surprised, in Western customs, the relationship is not good to a certain extent, people generally do not invite others to their homes to be guests.

But later, when he saw Vladimir's eyes on him, he understood, and his behavior just now must have made this old man realize that he had met a stupid customer with a lot of money, and since he had to spend money to catch it.

I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't resist the enthusiasm of this old man, so Yang Feng could only come to Nikolavich's house with Vladimir.

Nikolavich's home is quite large, with a spacious yard and a rough and sturdy house, all of which have a strong Russian style.

As soon as he entered the door, Nikolavich, the voice of the rough mine sounded, "Old woman, come out quickly, there are guests at home!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" As the voice fell, a figure also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The round face and burly figure all tell Yang Feng that this is a typical image of a Slavic middle-aged woman.

After seeing the woman come out, Nikolavich introduced: "Yang, this is my wife Katyusha. ”

"Hello Aunt Katyusha, I'm Yang Feng from China, you can call me Yang!" Yang Feng took a step forward and handed the box in his hand to Katyusha.

Katyusha put the box on the stone table next to her, and then gave Yang Feng a big bear hug, Rao is Yang Feng's perverted physical strength now also felt that the power coming from behind him was so powerful.

Katyusha said enthusiastically: "Dear child, Nikolavich rarely brings outsiders home, and today he was able to bring you, which shows that you must be a very good young man, and I will definitely give you a few more glasses later." ”

Yang Feng: "......"

Well, I must have misheard.

But it turned out that Yang Feng had no problem with his hearing, and after Katyusa Mali was busy for more than an hour, a sumptuous dinner was put on the table, but before Yang Feng could taste it, Katyusha toasted him three times in a row.

It should be noted here that these three glasses are not red wine, but strong and mellow vodka.

After three glasses of wine, if Yang Feng's physical strength was far beyond ordinary people, his face began to flush.
