Chapter 66: The Real Great Construction
In the battle in the air, Shu Xiao, who has received reinforcements, can completely repel the lord's air troops.
The archangel cannot be used for the time being, and if you want to defeat the lord's combined fleet, you still need to start with naval battles.
Now the Sky Fleet and the Judgment Fleet have been wiped out. Then to fight a naval battle, it is necessary to quickly rebuild these two fleets.
Private chat Xu Man: "How is the battle situation there?" ”
"The Lord's combined fleet is basically attacking your Judgment Legion, and it looks like it's trying to crush you first. You have to be careful, I think they should have tactics against you and the archangels. As for me, it's easy, they can't get ashore, I can't get out without a boat. ”
"How many hostile warships are there on the sea now?"
"The only thing that attacked me here was a dozen or so brigs carrying air units. Their warships are all with you, a total of 80 sloops, two brigs, and one three-masted battleship. Although our fleet is finished, it has also caused them a lot of damage. ”
Da Liang took out his binoculars and looked at the sea, most of the lord's fleet was outside the bay port, and only a small number of warships entered the port, and they didn't dare to get too close.
Da Liang said to Xu Man: "Since the other party has an ambush, my archangel cannot rise into the air for the time being, and this battle still needs to be resolved on the sea." ”
"But we don't have a ship, and now there are only ten sloop blueprints in the alliance, and I have entrusted the Pudong Fleet Shipyard to build them, but they are still too few to fight with the lord's combined fleet. I am now in the process of collecting all shipbuilding drawings from the market, hoping to build a sizable fleet as soon as possible. There was no boat, and Xu Man was also helpless.
Da Liang looked at the 199 dhow blueprints in his package, and said to Xu Man: "I'll solve the ship's affairs, and you can count the players in the alliance who have nautical skills." ”
"Okay, how many ships can you solve, I'll go to the staff office first to work out tactics."
"Dhow 200+"
"Kao" Xu Man couldn't help but scold, such a deceptive number came out of Da Liang's mouth, how could people not doubt it at all!
"More than 200 sloops, this combined fleet of lords riding on the head of the University Alliance, don't even think about running."
"I'll borrow a few more big ships from the Pudong fleet."
"Energetic! When your warship is in place, we will make a big fight in the waters of Shangjiang. ”
In the northern sky, the Silver Pegasus Knight and the Pegasus Knight were coming, and Shu Xiao ordered Orbit to go over and receive it.
The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the Judgment Legion, while the Lord's air force began to shrink, but they did not retreat immediately, and continued to engage with the Judgment Legion in order to attract the Archangels.
Da Liang asked Julian to stay in the garrison of the Ruling Legion, and after planting the legion assembly flag in the garrison, he returned to the city and went to the river and then ran to the Pudong Fleet Military Port.
On the way, he contacted Boss Jin: "Brother Jin, last time you said that you had a dhow blueprint in your hand, how many did you have?" ”
Boss Jin said: "Where have you been in the past few days, you have become a pot of porridge on the river and sea, and you don't even show your figure." Now that the fleet is gone, do you think of shipbuilding? I've got twenty-three drawings of a dhow and one blueprint of a brig, and I've got them all for you. ”
"Thank you so much, Brother Kim. Quick, give it all to me. When this battle is over, I'll talk to you about a big deal. ”
"Hahaha, good, good, I like to do the business of the Daliang brothers the most, and there has never been a small business."
Obtaining a batch of shipbuilding drawings from Boss Jin, a two-masted battleship blueprint is considered an unexpected bonus.
Taking out the drawings from the mailbox, Da Liang also came to the Pudong Military Port.
Finding the person in charge of the shipyard in the military port, Da Liang asked: "I want to order a batch of dhow warships, how many spare shipbuilding slots do you have here?" ”
"The overhaul of the fleet has ended, and now most of the shipbuilding slots are idle, and if it is for the production of small ships such as dhows, we can supply about 40 of them."
"More than 40 shipbuilding positions, too few".
"If you are in a hurry to build a ship, we can set aside 60 shipbuilding slots for you tomorrow."
Although this production capacity is already very large, it still can't meet Da Liang's needs, and he asked: "How long does it take to build a dhow?" ”
"Two days of the construction cycle of the dhow."
"It's too slow, can it be faster?"
"It's okay to hurry, if the Viscount is willing to pay double the cost of shipbuilding, we can compress the construction period of the dhow into a day."
Production of 100+ dhows in two days.
The cost of building a dhow in the Pudong fleet is 4,000 gold, doubling it is 8,000 gold, and 100 cannon fodder sloops cost 800,000 gold coins.
The Navy is really not a normal person's play.
"It's built," Da Liang took out 110 drawings of the dhow and a blueprint of the brig, and gave them to the person in charge of the shipyard together with 1 million gold coins: "Two days later, no matter what method you use, I need to see these ships." ”
110 dhow battleships, the person in charge calculated the capacity that the shipyard could still develop, and said: "No problem, Lord Viscount, I will deliver these warships on time." ”
Out of the Pudong Fleet Military Port, Da Liang went straight to the Chongming Fleet.
The scale of the Chongming fleet is not weaker than that of the Pudong fleet, and the production capacity of the shipyards there should be the same as the production capacity of the Pudong fleet.
The difference is the price of shipbuilding.
Da Liang did not have the same preferential treatment for the production of warships at the Chongming Military Port Shipyard as at the Pudong Military Port Shipyard.
The cost of a dhow is 10,000 gold, and accelerated production is 20,000 gold.
If you want to produce 110 sloops, you need 2.2 million gold.
Hearing this offer, Da Liang felt that his hands were trembling.
According to the current price of gold......
Can't count, can't think.
It's made! Money is to be spent where it should be spent, and there is no war that does not cost money.
Moreover...... It's all the Union's money spent.
The boat diagram is handed in, and the gold coins are handed in.
"If you don't accelerate, you will build at a normal speed of shipbuilding. 50 sloops, 500,000 gold, and in two days I must see all the ships. ”
Such a large business made the person in charge of the Chongming Military Port Shipyard smile, he took the shipbuilding drawings, put away the gold coins, and promised again and again: "Lord Viscount, rest assured, 50 dhows will be delivered on time." ”
Out of the Chongming Military Port, Daliang flew directly to the Baoshan Military Port on the opposite side of the river.
Although the Baoshan Military Port Shipyard is a little smaller, there is absolutely no problem in building sloops.
The same is not discounted.
After ordering 30 dhows at Baoshan Military Port, Da Liang went to the Nanhui Military Port Shipyard.
300,000 gold coins and another 30 dhows.
In this way, the shipyards in the entire Shangjiang area were in full swing to build warships for Daliang.
After a turn, Da Liang returned to the Pudong Military Port, where Sidney had already led the Blackfire Fleet to complete the pre-battle preparations.
The frost dragon Astro also arrived from Dust Island.
"The Blackfire Fleet departed the port, waved the flag of the Pudong Fleet, and stood by at sea. Skeleton Warrior's speed to converge. ”
The Black Fire Fleet, which has one three-masted battleship and five two-masted battleships, slowly sailed out of Pudong Military Port.
