Pocket World of Warcraft

After a discussion meeting, they found that there are indeed many problems, large and small, but there are three most difficult to solve at present.

The first point is the source of soldiers.

As everyone said, it takes a lot of soldiers to form a guard, but Clay has a small number of people, and it is basically impossible to recruit enough qualified soldiers from it.

The second point is to train soldiers to be good at naval battles.

It is not that there are generals and commanders who are good at training and fighting on the Ou continent, but there are really few who are good at naval warfare. The navies of various countries can only splash a few times in the big rivers, and there are really few who dare to go to the sea, especially the deep sea.

The third point is the source of the ship.

Warships used in battle are different from ordinary ships. Currently, the only shipyards in Butlans are in Tribia and Mansako. These two places are located in the southeast of the two armies and do not belong to the The state-owned property of Butrans was formed by the local nobles after the two places submitted their applications to Tar'an and were approved.

Quan has always thought that now that the steam engine has appeared, someone should apply this technology to ships—after all, he did not hide this technology—but in fact, the current warships used by Butlans still use sails as the main power , a three-masted boat that is also propelled by oars, and this was designed more than ten years ago, and it has not been changed for so many years.

And it's not just Butlans, Quan deliberately asked about the situation in other countries, and found that the ships used by everyone are basically of this kind.

It can be seen from this that the countries on the continent of Austria and Europe do not pay much attention to maritime development.

This made Quan, who knew the great age of voyage in the history of pm, somewhat unable to adapt.The only good news is that at least they still know how to install turrets on the ship.

Among the three big problems, the first two can only be solved by Quan's father, His Majesty the Emperor. Since both Quan and Electrolux have expressed that they don't want to be involved in the military affairs, they can only be pushed to Raymond. He always finds the right guy.

But for the third ship, everyone thought that they could find a few shipyards to customize warships, but Quan refused to agree after reading the information about the current warships they brought.

"A wooden mast ship can't stand the impact of a large sea beast at all, and its speed is not fast enough. It can run in rivers and shallow seas. If it really goes to the deep sea to fight sea beasts, it won't take much effort to sink the ship."

The officials at the meeting looked at each other in blank dismay: "Now all ships are made of wood, are there other materials?"

"Yes." Quan nodded affirmatively, "It is stronger and faster than wood, and it can even fight underwater."

However, he didn't explain to these people things they couldn't understand, such as steel cruise ships, aircraft carriers, underwater submarines, etc. He just signaled that Electrolux could end the meeting.

After receiving his message, Electrolux immediately looked around the crowd, and said calmly: "There are so many integration problems now, apart from the problem of the source of troops and ships, I hope everyone can think about where the guards will be located if the formation of the escort team is completed. How to solve problems such as training grounds, food and grass, etc., think about it carefully, and write a report later if you have any suggestions."

They thought it was too simple at the beginning. They originally thought of recruiting hundreds of thousands of people to form a sea guard, and then using the castle on the isolated island as the base of the guard would be very good, but now everyone has the entire coastline of Clay. After the protection is added, the number of soldiers required will be greatly increased. In this way, the isolated island castle simply cannot accommodate so many people.

What's more, now that the castle has been converted into a new city lord's mansion, Quan and Electrolux are very satisfied with the newly renovated castle and don't want to lend it out again.

After everyone left, Quan was still sitting in his original position, looking at the items recorded in the notebook and meditating, not even knowing that Electrolux was approaching.

"What are you thinking?" Electrolux bent down behind him, put his hands on the conference table, controlled Quan between the two, and looked at the notebook in his hand.

The boat was circled, obviously this was what he was thinking about now.

And Quan also confirmed this: "It's about the boat."

He suddenly asked Electrolux: "You said, how about we build a shipyard by ourselves?"

"Shipyard? How did you come up with this idea?" Electrolux was a little surprised. He could see that Izumi had some ideas about the ship, but he didn't expect that this person wanted to set up a shipyard.

"The current sea-going ship technology is too backward. Instead of buying a few ships that are not suitable for use, it is better for us to build a shipyard to develop and research new sea-going ships."

"You can?"

Quan said modestly: "I probably understand a little bit."

Although Quan didn't know much about ships, he used to take cruise ships and other water vehicles during his travels. He even visited the captain's cabin and power system of many large cruise ships. He knows a lot more.

He is good at aircraft carriers, submarines, etc., but it is still no problem to research a steel steamship.

His little Highness is really omnipotent.Electrolux was deeply proud in his heart. He didn't think there was any problem with Quan's knowledge, but just said, "It will cost a lot of money, and we don't have the talents in this field."

"Not necessarily. I looked through the information and found that Clay also had a shipyard in the past. Although it can only build some fishing boats and the like, it should not be difficult to find some craftsmen who can build boats. If it is not possible, there are others. A few shipyards? It shouldn't be difficult to find some people, right?" Quan smiled at him gently and harmlessly, but the meaning revealed in his words was not that.

Electrolux really loved the cunning light in his eyes, couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed his eyes.

"It's not difficult. Although these shipyards are run by nobles, if there is enough temptation, it is very easy for them to send us a group of people. I will send someone to do it."

Quan also means the same thing, digging people must be done, but it's best not to do it too ugly, so as not to turn against people and make money by being friendly.

"I'll have someone prepare a batch of baby balls for you. You should be able to exchange many people with this."

There are more than a few, just change to another shipyard. The price of today’s baby balls on the black market is frighteningly high. If they are willing to use this in exchange, some people are willing to give them the entire shipyard. A batch of experienced employees in the shipyard, these people can be trained with a little time.

"As for the funds to build the shipyard, don't worry, I'm rich."

Both the tree fruit and the mandarin orange fruit are brought back by Quan, and the royal family will not intentionally take advantage of him, so every year the royal family will give Quan 30.00% of the profit based on the market price for all the tree fruit and baby balls produced by the royal family.

Originally, everyone wanted to give 50.00%, but Quan refused to accept it. After bargaining, it became 30.00%.

In addition, the power plants, steam engines, communication technologies, etc. that are being promoted and constructed on the Ao Ou road now more or less have a part of Quan's shares, and these are enough to make him rich.

Therefore, Quan's personal property is probably more than that of Raymond's small treasury. After all, Lei Meng's small treasury is very exciting and needs to be filled with the national treasury, but Quan's small treasury basically only goes in and out.

Electrolux knows this very well, so he is also a little depressed. In the past, he had more money than Quan, and he could buy whatever Quan wanted and give it to him. Now Quan has more money than him, Electrolux It is impossible to be courteous in this regard.

"You can't just use your money. Let me contribute half of it. Let's build a shipyard together."

Of course he would not refuse if he wanted to visit the spring: "Okay, this shipyard will definitely make a lot of money in the future, and you won't lose money."

Now use part of the funds to build a shipyard. If maritime shipping develops in the future, it is impossible for their shipyard not to make a fortune.

"I'm going to call my dad right now and ask him to give us a permit." Quan stood up, tidied up the things on the table, and left the conference room towards the study.

There is a big brother in Quan's storage ring, but this thing can't talk long distances so far, so he can only use the phone to contact Tar'an.

The telephone in the castle is newly installed. Although the cost of making calls is too high, there are still a lot of people who want to install the telephone. However, the production and installation of the telephone cannot keep up, so everyone has to wait in line, but Quan wants to install it. If so, it is a matter of one sentence, he is one of the major shareholders of the newly established Communications Bureau, and this privilege is still there.

And they don't need to pay for calling, and they can call as long as they like.

When Lei Meng received a call from his youngest son and heard that he was going to start a navy, he was a little confused. Didn't his youngest son go out to play?How can you make such a big fight just by playing around?It's time to build an army.

——Although Quan said it was called the Sea Guard, Raymond felt that the staffing configuration he mentioned was completely beyond the normal regiment configuration.

But this is a good thing. Although there are relatively few cities facing the sea in Butlans, the dangers brought by sea beasts have never been less. Now that there is a solution, he naturally agrees with both hands.

And the youngest son obviously didn't want to take care of the navy's affairs by himself. This was giving him a legion for nothing. How could Raymond refuse.

[I'll help you with the source of troops and generals, let's talk about the shipyard. 】

Quan just said some of his thoughts, mainly about the steamship.

In the end, he concluded: "The speed of the steamship is faster than that of ordinary sailboats, and the hull made of steel is stronger. With the protection of sea beasts, it can definitely go unimpeded on the sea."

The youngest son has a lot of secrets, and Raymond didn't ask him why he knew about this kind of ship that he had never seen before. He just told him: [The shipyard also counts as me, and I want 30.00% of the shares. 】

The cost is too high, he needs to find more ways to make money, the youngest son is obviously going to get rich again this time, so he naturally has to get rich along with him.

Quan: "...OK."
