Chapter 88 Battleship Wearing a Lifebuoy

Anne didn't expect her father to convince the Imperial Emperor to build a heavy arsenal in Saroyan, which was simply to bake the Whitehead family on a fire rack.

As Governor of Marcelus, he was already walking on thin ice. Anne, who was in charge of intelligence, knew that there were rumors about her father in the empire. She offered to build a heavy arsenal in the Marcelus area, which was enough for the imperial emperor to have a murderous intention to fight Marquis Whitehead.

Anne asked worriedly: "How could His Majesty agree to build a heavy arsenal in Saroyan? This...this is simply a knife in his heart. Father...you, you are too risky."

"Your Majesty is willing to take risks!" The Marquis' tone was calm, and he could not see the impact of this incident on him at all. He said to Anne: "Your Majesty is a visionary lord. He knew what changes were happening in the world. He knew that if this large fleet was not built, the empire would lose the opportunity to go out of the ocean for a long time in the future.

There is no way to seal the influence of the Eastern countries on Marcelus. This enclave will always be the heart of every imperial emperor.

His Majesty wants to do something that even the emperors of the past dynasties have not done, so he is willing to try some risks.

With this arsenal, it not only can solve the weapons problem of the Navy's large fleet, but also greatly save the imperial military expenditure of the provincial garrison. It also shows everyone the attitude of the empire. In order to build the Navy's large fleet... the empire will fight at all costs.

This can effectively suppress the arrogance of the Eastern countries.

As for the risks I take? Your Majesty is willing to take risks for the country's destiny, what reason do I have not to accompany Your Majesty?

Anne, don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing, just do your own thing."

"Yes, father."

No matter what the Marquis' real purpose is, Anne cannot interfere now, and she has no ability to change her father's thoughts... she can only pray that things are not what she thinks.

The only thing Annie can do is to prevent problems before they happen and make the worst plans. When the family really has to face a catastrophe, she can save most of the children of the family...

Watching Anne leave the Governor's Mansion worriedly, Marquis Whitehead sat by the window and stared at Saroyan, who was surrounded by tall buildings.

No matter whether this matter is right or wrong, since you have made a choice, you have to keep going!

Daliang didn't know what was happening in Star Alliance, nor did he know what kind of undercurrents were surging within the Flormink Empire. He did his own thing according to his plan and was preparing to participate in the procurement bidding of the Imperial Navy Fleet.

The intervention of the Eastern countries delayed the tender for nearly a month. Daliang also used this time to polish the built light frigate again, making it look less... rough.

But even in the final "complete body", the frigate still looks so ugly. Especially when this strange-shaped warship drove to the Imperial Navy Harbor, it was among all kinds of majestic traditional warships... Its low and flat hull and bloated rubber skirt like a lifebuoy made it look like an ugly duckling mixed in a group of swans.

"A lifebuoy is installed around the warship. Is this warship coming to satirize the Florminke Empire Navy? Which ship was produced by a shipyard... the ship is simply too vivid.

I think this is the battleship that the Florminke Navy needs. I bet a penny, and this lifebuoyed ship will definitely eliminate us and be selected by the Florminke Empire Navy.

Ha ha ha ha……"

A representative of a shipyard who came to participate in the bidding pointed to the light frigate of the Black Fire Company and mocked him, which also attracted the ridicule of everyone who saw the ship.

The laughter of shipbuilding experts made the newly formed Imperial Navy feel ashamed of being ridiculed. They also want to drive the ironic ship out of the military port, but this is the battleship sent by the Blackfire Company to participate in the bidding.

Magic potential activation agent, "Return to Magic" drink, and the newly built Saroyang First Steel Factory... Although Black Fire Company has not publicly signed any privilege agreement with the Empire, its privileges exist by default.

Therefore, this "warship" with strange shape, with rough edges everywhere, and even the deck is empty, and even the weapons are not installed, just slowly drove in.

Today, the Florminke Navy will definitely become a laughing stock in the world.

On the temporary stands built on the Navy Harbour Pier, Marcelus politicians, Saroyan celebrities, and Imperial Navy officials sat full of the main stands with 300 seats. On both sides of the stands are representatives of shipyards from all over the world. Some of them brought sample ships and some of them brought design drawings. When the bidding meeting begins, they will introduce their own warships to the officials of the Florminke Empire Navy in order.

The warships anchored on the pier are also dazzling, most of which are light frigates below 1,000 tons, torpedo speedboats, minesweepers, anti-submarine speedboats, submarines, landing crafts...

As for larger warships, no shipyard would build sample ships before receiving the deposit, and these large warships still exist on the drawings.

Looking from the stands, the "warship" used by Black Fire Company to bid is even more eye-catching.

At this time, Marquis Whitehead's mood was unspeakable. He thought he had a great psychological pressure, but at this moment he always had the urge to send someone to sank the "warship" in the lifebuoy. Listening to the whispers around and pointing at the warship, the Marquis felt that he had lost face today.

Everyone knows that the Whitehead family invested in the Blackfire Company to build a steel factory; they know that the Whitehead family is the magic potential activation agent and magic drink produced by the Blackfire Company, and is the general agent in Florminck. They know that the Blackfire Company can drive such a warship into the Imperial Navy military port because they use their own relationship.

The Marquis had imagined as much as a bad warship as Young Master Liang would give him, but he did not expect that he would break through the bottom line he had endured. He had already felt the murderous gaze of the Imperial Navy minister beside him.

"Marteel Hopkin." Marquis Whitehead calmly said to the Navy Minister: "Although I persuade Your Majesty to continue building the Navy's fleet, Your Majesty still has some concerns.

Judging from the attitudes of the Eastern countries, it seems that there is really a naval battle waiting for us. If the navy wants to continue to add large warships, or even the main battleships, it must use the battleships tendered this time to prove that the Imperial Navy has offshore defense capabilities."

Speaking of the dilemma faced by the Navy, Marshal Hopkin said: "Our Navy is training in Neihu, and I don't know how bad they will perform after boarding the Shanghai warships. The best weapon for offshore defense is the submarine, but no one can drive that thing at all.
