After a few minutes, the room gradually became quiet, but at this time Li Ningyu was still in the dark closet and refused to come out, because at this time he was still unfinished, and kept replaying what had just happened in his mind, as if he was dreaming.
"Ding-ding-ding! Ding-ding-ding!"
Not long after, the phone in the room rang, and then Li Ningyu had no choice but to come out of the closet, sit on the sofa, and answer the phone.
"Master, are you free? I'll come find you!" The voice of Far East Navy Commander Liu Qinghui came from the other end of the phone.
"Well, yes, you can come here! I'm about to look for you too. You see, we want to go together again!" Li Ningyu naturally followed the words when he heard Liu Qinghui's voice and said that he wanted to see him for something.
More than ten minutes later, Liu Qinghui, holding several documents in his hands, walked into Li Ningyu's room and sat down on the sofa. He handed Liu Qinghui a Chinese cigarette, and the two started talking while holding the cigarette in their mouths.
"Master, there is something I have been holding back for a long time and have wanted to ask you. Today I just couldn't bear it anymore, so I took the liberty to come here. Don't blame me!" Liu Qinghui started talking first, but he was still a little uneasy because of this matter.
Li Ningyu has given clear instructions on some issues concerning the Far East Navy.
"Say it, there are no outsiders here!" Liu Qinghui is the Far East general who has followed Li Ningyu for the longest time. Although it is not yet known what he will say, Li Ningyu still said with a smile.
"Okay! Then I'll say it!" Liu Qinghui heard Li Ningyu's words, looked at his expression, and finally said with determination.
"Say it, my Commander Liu! I won't eat you!" Seeing that Liu Qinghui still seemed a little uneasy, Li Ningyu urged helplessly.
"Young Master, I don't understand why our navy will only build 25 Taishan-class battleships in the next five years. In fact, for this kind of Dreadnought-class battleships, we should build more and larger tonnage like the navies of other countries!" Liu Qinghui said
Under Li Ningyu's urging, he finally expressed his different opinions.
After hearing what Liu Qinghui said, Li Ningyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Qinghui for a while, then said slowly: "Commander Qinghui, do you know how much a Taishan-class battleship costs?".
"About 3.5 million pounds, which is equivalent to 10 million in Asian dollars! But we in the Far East..." Liu Qinghui said this, as if there was still more to say, and Li Ningyu quickly reached out to stop him.
Then Li Ningyu asked: "Okay! So for a Taishan-class battleship, it needs to be allocated several frigates, destroyers and supply ships!".
"One destroyer, two frigates or torpedo ships, one combat unit and one supply ship!" Liu Qinghui answered Li Ningyu's words seriously.
But seeing Li Ningyu's expression, he then added: "This adds up to about 2.5 million pounds, which is 7.8 million Asian dollars, and a combat unit is 18 million Asian dollars!".
"Okay! If we build 25 Taishan-class battleships as you said, then it will cost 450 million Asian dollars, right?"
"Yes! That's right!" Hearing the number Li Ningyu read out, Liu Qinghui nodded affirmatively, but it seemed that he still didn't understand what Li Ningyu wanted to say when he fell to the ground.
"Commander Qinghui, do you know what the biggest shortcoming of the Taishan class is?"
"Slow speed and poor cruising ability!" Liu Qinghui is the commander-in-chief of the Far East Navy after all. As soon as Li Ningyu's words came out, he said immediately.
"Okay, since Commander Qinghui knows it, take a look at this!" As he said that, Li Ningyu took out a 19th century world chart from the side.
After Liu Qinghui saw Li Ningyu unfolding the world chart, he was even more confused about what kind of medicine was sold in Li Ningyu's pot. Li Ningyu did not intend to wait for Liu Qinghui to ask, and took the initiative to point to the chart and said: "Far East
The navy, currently the main maritime fleet, is concentrated in Asian waters, but it can barely defend it! But we are about to take over new areas around the world!"
When Li Ningyu said this, Liu Qinghui seemed to understand a little bit, but he still didn't figure out the key, so Li Ningyu could only continue to explain: "In the next few years, the Far East Navy will establish three large new fleets, namely, the Atlantic Ocean
Fleet, Indian Ocean Fleet, High Seas Fleet, and at the same time, we need to supplement the Pacific Fleet with a large number of ships!"
Upon hearing Li Ningyu's words, Liu Qinghui immediately couldn't sit still and asked directly: "Young Master, then we are going to build Taishan-class battleships. Maybe 25 ships are not enough, why not build 50 ships!"
.
Li Ningyu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then he gently tapped the chart and said: "Ocean Fleet, Ocean Fleet! What is needed is not only firepower, but also speed and cruising capabilities!".
Now Liu Qinghui seemed to completely understand why Li Ningyu would announce the construction of 80 mini battleships. It turned out that mini battleships can be used not only as battleships but also as cruisers. However, Liu Qinghui still felt that battleships like the Taishan class could not be built.
If he didn't want to build it, he immediately said: "Young Master, I understand what you just meant, but we can't just build mini models!".
"Haha, I knew you would ask this, so I was already prepared!" Li Ningyu said with a smile, and at the same time, he took out his notebook, opened one page, and handed it directly to Liu Qinghui.
Taking the notebook in Li Ningyu's hand, Liu Qinghui looked at what was written on it and couldn't help but read: "Huaxia-class destroyer, standard displacement: 2800 tons - 3100 tons, full load displacement: 3500 tons, main gun: five double-barreled 127mm high flat
"Young Master, I'm getting more and more confused now. What is this!" Liu Qinghui said in confusion after hearing what Li Ningyu wrote on it.
"Haha, this is a maritime weapon that our Far East Navy will vigorously build in the future!"
"This is the sharp weapon, young master! Are you kidding me! The 127mm main gun can't penetrate the protective steel plate even if the Taishan-class battleship doesn't move! What's the use of all these anti-aircraft weapons and equipment?
?I mean the eldest young master..." Just as Liu Qinghui was talking endlessly, Li Ningyu signaled to interrupt again.
