Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"My lord, are you telling the truth? Is there really a new giant ship?" Wang Hongchang still asked in disbelief.

He is different from Mo Shoucheng. To be honest, he doesn't care whether the First Legion can have a battleship. He only cares about whether the battleship is real.

Daxia has suffered without powerful battleships for too long.

As long as there are battleships, that's fine. He doesn't care whether the battleships are given to the navy or not.

"Of course, there are no battleships. Why do I want you to join the First Army? Do I really want you to carry a rifle and fight with the enemy with bayonets?" Lin Yi rolled his eyes and still couldn't believe Wang Hongchang.

When he heard Lin Yi choked him, Wang Hongchang was not angry, but looked excited.

He even knelt down to Lin Yi with some excitement and kowtowed twice to Lin Yi.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly! Our First Legion is not into this!" Lin Yi saw Wang Hongchang kneeling and kowtowing to him, and he quickly reached out to pull him.

"Your Majesty, please finish your humiliation first!" Wang Hongchang said quickly when he saw Lin Yi coming to pull him away.

Lin Yi heard Wang Hongchang's words and wanted to hold his hand, but stopped in mid-air.

"I know the rules of the prince. I am not allowed to kneel down when I work under the prince. But today, I must kowtow!"

"Your Majesty also knows that the naval battle three years ago was a shame to our country and our navy!"

"That big defeat made our navy unable to hold its head high! Although our brothers are still alive, they feel as if they are dead!"

"We are like walking corpses, with no goals, only hesitation, because we know that our navy is responsible for Daxia's defeat by Sakura in the east!"

"If we train more seriously and pay more attention to Sakura Country, maybe we can win that battle!"

"Although later, the court said that the reason for the navy's defeat was because of Ding Xuanren, brothers, a large part of this matter is still to blame on ourselves!"

"When our Daxia Navy faced the Sakura Kingdom's navy, our people could only achieve [-] out of [-] hits, but they could achieve [-] to [-] percent hits against Sakura!"

"Because at that time, our Daxia navy had long been accustomed to compliments. They felt that they were the number one fleet in the East and underestimated the Sakura Navy."

"Since then, the rest of us have been learning from the pain and searching for the reasons."

"The reason has been found, but the imperial court has no money to purchase new ships. We can only watch the Sakura Kingdom show off its power on the high seas."

"To this day, the prince first gave the navy two armored cruisers, and now he has purchased such an advanced warship, so that we, the lost souls, see hope!"

"So, this head is not for me personally, but on behalf of the entire navy. We, the group of people who have lost our souls, are doing this! It is the prince who has found our souls for us!"

As he said this, Wang Hongtao kowtowed two more times at Lin Yi.

This time, Lin Yi did not stop Wang Hongchang. He knew that if he did not let him knock his head off, he would not get up.

After Wang Hongchang finished kowtowing, Lin Yi said: "Are you done kowtowing? Get out of here when you're done!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hongchang quickly got up from the ground.

"Hey, I also know the difficulties of the navy."

"Coastal defense is the top priority in our Daxia defense. How can I not worry about it?"

"But Hongchang, battleships cannot be operated by one person, and I am unwilling to hand over these battleships to the Navy, so I can only form a fleet that belongs to the royal family."

"I have read your resume and I feel that you are the best person in charge of this fleet. Hongchang, can you shoulder this important task?"

"Going back to the prince, even if I have a humble position, I will definitely take good care of this fleet for the prince!" Wang Hongchang said with confidence.

"That's good! From now on, this fleet will be handed over to you."

"You work under me as an errand, so you don't have to worry about military expenses. Even if you sell iron, I can still get the military expenses for you!"

"Only in terms of manpower, I have no way to help you. I can only rely on you."

"I understand, I understand the prince's difficulties. In terms of personnel, I think I still have some acquaintances in the navy. I will definitely support the prince's fleet in the shortest possible time!"

"It's just, Your Majesty, at what scale should I recruit people for my humble job? And when will the new ship arrive?" Wang Hongchang asked with some uncertainty.

"When will the new ship arrive? It should be within ten days. I ask you to set up the main personnel structure of the fleet within ten days. Are you confident?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer within ten days! But how many new ships are there?" Wang Hongchang asked.

When he thought about it, since Lin Yi had always said it was a fleet, then why should the new ships have two ships? Otherwise, how could they be called a fleet?

"There are two battleships called giant ships that I told you, but these two are different models. In addition to the one I told you, there is another one with a slightly smaller main gun. But a battleship with thicker armor.”

"The battleships with larger main guns are the Dreadnought class, and the battleships with smaller main guns are the Nassau class."

"In addition, there are four light all-steel cruisers!"

"There are a total of six warships, all of which are the latest warships. Even Western countries are not equipped with them yet!"

"So, in terms of warship quality, our warships in Daxia are undoubtedly the best in the world!"

"What! Six ships? The best in the world?" Wang Hongchang was shocked at this moment. He did not expect that Lin Yi could get a warship that was not even available in the West.

"What? Too much? How about a little less?" Lin Yi heard Wang Hongchang's exclamation and immediately joked.

"Not much, not much, Your Majesty, not much at all! I will definitely be able to put up the framework for Your Majesty within ten days, Your Majesty, don't worry!" Wang Hongchang waved his hands repeatedly.

Just kidding, who would dislike having so many warships at his disposal?

"Okay, I'll leave the fleet matters to you, I, the King, can rest assured."

"As for you, just work hard here, and I will also find a way for you to get more new warships."

"Oh, by the way, I have also found a group of naval instructors from the Kingdom of John and the Kingdom of Gaul for you. You can also use them."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Hongchang nodded.

In fact, Lin Yi had also considered the matter of instructors from the Kingdom of John and the Kingdom of Gaul.

Although Western countries have not yet equipped warships of the Dreadnought-class class, design drawings similar to the Dreadnought-class are definitely on the desks of the senior officials of both countries.

Therefore, there was no need for Lin Yi to hide it. It was not a particularly high-tech thing anyway.

Even if the two countries knew about it, they would not dare to say anything. They would only start to investigate within themselves as to who sold such a high-end warship to Daxia.

But can they understand it? I definitely don’t understand. Is the system something they can know?

Besides, after the battleships from John and other countries are launched, Lin Yi might even point out the more advanced battleships.
