1890 King of Southeast Asia

"Do you still plan to continue the attack?" Charles said in surprise, but he was very happy. He only needed to wait for two years, and he could do the same operation again, hold Nanhua, and sell the warship to the Netherlands! What's this? The arms trade is just the icing on the cake, and the practice of stirring the situation and watching the fire will be favored by the big brothers.

This is also the explanation of the British balance policy.

The British of the Pu France support Germany, and the British and Russia in the First World War was Britain, France, and Russia, against Germany. Although the same is true of World War II, it was essentially a mistake in Britain and held France, but I did not expect that France had long pulled his hips. In addition, British strategic contraction was very bad, and it was unbalanced at once.

"Will the Netherlands let me go?" Liu Yiming asked.

Charles smiled, "Even in the British Island, the places to enter the Naval Academy are very valuable. One hundred places are already considering our friendship and the situation you are facing."

"I hope that three hundred places are required, and at least 50 of them have entered the best naval college to study, and there are 1,000 sailors. What do I need to pay." Liu Yiming sighed and asked.

"How can you say that? Well, okay." Charles still wanted to beep. Liu Yiming looked up at him. He sorted out his expression and said, "I think South China needs a navy consultant."

"Just the consultant?" Liu Yiming looked at him coldly.

"Yes, maybe they will make some requirements, but believe me, it is worthwhile, and they will not ask you to do anything." Charles said that he still wanted the British to serve as The commander was in front of him, and he didn't speak.

"Yes, I can understand the ideas of British friends, and I also welcome the British Navy consultant with real materials." Liu Yiming sorted out his expression.

"So, let's talk about the price of price," Charles said.

"Isn't there four auxiliary warships? One chat." Liu Yiming said, picked up the remaining drawings.

"On May 25th, 9 meters long, 41 meters wide, 06 meters high, 7 inches eight, eight -inch cannons, three eighteen -inch torpedo launch tube, and two minefields. Two push -type steam engines, four bilateral round -headed boilers, can provide 8,300 horsepower. Voyage.

"Yes, the data is very good, but don't I say that it is improved? The auxiliary warship I want is also a armored cruiser." Liu Yiming said dissatisfied.

"Change it to two three -swelling machines, the boiler can use this, the eight -inch gun is removed, and the dual -loading is 7 inches. The torpedo remains unchanged. In fifteen years, the three swelling machines are the mainstream. After that, the high efficiency of the three swelling machines can also be removed. The speed of more than 21 sections can be used in 1920, and it can be used for second -line use.

"Don't you plan to bring cannons? 7 inches can only be used as a secondary artillery." Charles suggested.

"It was changed to double -inch six inches, and the eight -inch gun also sold me a few. I changed it." Liu Yiming suddenly had some ideas in his head. The eight -inch gun did not like it. In 1994, the war was about to begin.

"Really, is the rich people playing like this?" Charles heard the saying for the first time. A hundred -inch cannon was thousands of pounds. fee.

"Also, armor!" Liu Yiming emphasized.

"Yes. You only need to add £ 10,000 to add a armored belt, but it is a bit narrow, two o'clock one meter, and the water line is enough." Charles knew that Liu Yiming would ask.

"Isn't it overweight? After changing the double -inch six -inch cannon, it was even heavier. This must not be all underwater." Liu Yiming asked.

"There is no way. This is the best solution. The firepower is fierce and fast. As long as the speed is maintained, it is not easy to be concentrated, and the dome is also there, not hindered." Charles persuaded.

"Come again, first of all, everything unnecessary is left, and the four -door four -seven -inch speed cannon, as well as the corresponding facilities, calculate the gun shield and the corresponding cabin room, can save 80 tons." Charles watched Liu Yiming. Unsatisfactory eyes, mentioned again.

"Thunderbolt, hit the corner, remove, weaken the dome to one inch, and add a armored belt,"

"So cost?" Liu Yiming asked.

"Believe in me, the warship of the British Empire must be the best!" Charles suddenly said to the right.

"Let's talk about the price." Liu Yiming asked, with some unhappy hunch.

"The previous one has strong firepower, armored, speed, which is perfect, so it is a little more expensive." Charles said a little bit.

"Just say it, the price can always be talked about!" Liu Yiming said.

"700,000!" Charles said.

"US dollar?" Liu Yiming joked rarely.

"Of course it is the pound!" Charles said anxiously.

"Hahaha, of course, I know, but you are joking first." Liu Yiming said with a smile.

"A bite, 500,000, packing price, six million ships, two million more money." Liu Yiming was too lazy to pull him.

"This? The bargain is not so cut!" Charles jumped up.

"I checked the Edgar class and May 25th, and their prices are 330,000 and 260,000 respectively." Liu Yiming said with a dark face.

"That's different, 330,000 is the price of the Royal Navy." Charles also said with a dark face.

"No matter what, this ship will not be sold to you for more than 400,000. The armor will still be provided by me. 500,000, this is the last price I can accept. Please sit down first." Liu Yiming said, got up and went out to pour tea, asking Charles to think about it first, but inadvertently, Liu Yiming leaked a document, a document written in English.

"What is this?" Charles saw that Liu Yiming had not come in yet, and he was very curious. If he had known earlier, there would be very few English documents in Nanhua. This should be for external use, and it is very likely to be British, and it may be a colleague!

"This!!..." Charles took a look quietly, but he didn't expect it to be different from what he thought.

"Oh! Charles, this is not a gentleman's behavior!" Liu Yiming came in in time and "stopped" Charles.

"My friend, those Americans can only copy, how can they build warships? They can only graze and grow corn. American products are synonymous with inferiority." Charles couldn't help it, anyway he was caught.

"Calm down, Charles, we didn't talk about buying arms, let alone warships, just equipment sales." That's right, it was the American capital delegation that came at this time, mainly the steel industry, and wrote a letter expressing its willingness to help Nanhua establish a steel industry system.

Liu Yiming was screening the equipment he needed. After full consideration, Liu Yiming was willing to introduce equipment from three coal and steel joint enterprises, with a total output of 600,000 tons of steel, mainly because the price was cheap and sold at a 30% discount. The equipment of a large coal and steel mixed enterprise with an original price of 5 million US dollars was sold for 1.5 million US dollars. Let's talk about the price, three 3 million, Liu Yiming will cover the shipping cost.

This includes the price of some mechanical production. Although it is not used for the time being, it is just right. People are about to go bankrupt. Buy it and keep it for emergency use. It can also train workers or dismantle it. Besides, with large output, cheap steel, and reduced industrial costs, the competitiveness of the industry has risen.

"How about this? I'll loan the two million pounds for three years, but the interest rate cannot exceed 6% per year." Liu Yiming said. This is actually what he has always wanted to do, but Liu Yiming cannot take the initiative to propose it. If he takes the initiative, the monthly interest rate will become 4%.

"6% is too low, a little higher, international loans are not so low!" Charles said immediately.

"No, Charles, pay it in five years, and I have to pay 2.6 million pounds in the end, which is already very high!" Liu Yiming said. There is no way. Liu Yiming's money is still useful. Within three years, a small and sophisticated industrial system will be built, and Nanhua will be able to drag it out, otherwise it will be impossible.

"Or the United States should be willing to provide this loan." Liu Yiming said.

"What do you use as collateral?" Charles said.

"Can I use this fleet?" Liu Yiming tried, after all, wasn't the subprime mortgage first played by Europe and the United States?

"What are you thinking about?" Charles was going crazy.

"Then use taxes!" Liu Yiming said regretfully, "Use the export taxes of sugar, coffee, and rice as collateral. The annual export value of these things is about 2 million pounds, and there will be more in the future."

"Are you crazy? You have to pay back 520,000 pounds every year, and you are going to take a quarter of the export tax?" Charles said.

"Don't worry, Charles. I now have a labor force that doesn't need to be paid. These agricultural products are only processing costs for me." Liu Yiming said.

"Those natives?" Charles asked tentatively, and when Liu Yiming nodded, he was relieved.

"That's fine, but someone will check the accounts!" In fact, Liu Yiming was the happiest when he borrowed money, which increased the British Empire's control over South China.

"Go quickly, let the shipyard start construction tomorrow, I can temporarily use the spoils as collateral, they are about 3 million, and there are many small cities we haven't dealt with, and we can increase it at that time." Liu Yiming threw out a bait, indicating that he wanted to sell the spoils.

"Okay, my assistant will check your spoils. What are they?" Charles heard the implication and asked.

"Jewelry, including gemstones of various colors, but not much, various gold and silver jewelry, pearls, these are worth three million." These things have a high premium.

"I think we can continue to talk about business!" Charles' eyes lit up.

"Then I hope my international students can set sail as soon as possible!" Liu Yiming said directly.

"Don't worry, you can choose someone now, I'll set off now." Charles couldn't wait to run out. After three deals, he would be a millionaire!
