Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

It can be said that although the relationship between Longxiang Army and the Military Department is not cooperative, the relationship is still very close.

There will be some linkages between the two sides from time to time.

After all, Lin Yi didn't want the relationship between Long Xiang's army and the military to evolve into the incompatible relationship between Mustache or the navy and land generals of Sakura Kingdom.

Therefore, Lin Yi is still willing to help the military in terms of some weapons research and development and procurement.

Of course, you have to pay for these.

After all, the military spends most of the empire's military expenditures. At this time, if you don't ask for money from the military, why do you still have to do good things?

The people in the military department are also very cheerful. As long as they pay for it, they never default on it and settle the account on the spot.

Lin Yi is naturally willing to cooperate with the military.

"What did the boss say? The boss gave me a lot of support for the Longxiang Army when it was first established. I remember this in my heart." Lin Yi said to Pan Chengzhang with a smile.

"Then I would like to ask you boldly, can our military headquarters take a share in the new product developed by the prince?" Pan Chengzhang climbed up the ladder.

As soon as he heard that Lin Yi recognized the military's kindness to them, he immediately proposed the idea of ​​​​joining the military.

"Sir, where did you hear that I have good stuff here and you want to directly participate in it?" Lin Yi was a little dumbfounded.

"Do you even need to hear about this?" Pan Chengzhang rolled his eyes, and then continued: "In the suburbs in the west of the city, the buzzing of machines is heard every day, and the local garrison can hear it from far away."

"It feels like a swarm of mosquitoes flying above my head."

"If our military department still can't guess that it's you, Your Majesty, who is stirring up something, then we should collectively submit our resignations to His Majesty."

Pan Chengzhang said quite proudly, it felt like he had finally seen through Lin Yi's plan.

When Lin Yi heard Pan Chengzhang's words, he suddenly didn't know what else to say.

Pan Chengzhang heard some noises and thought that he had created something new. Then he didn't even know what it was, so he hurriedly shouted that he wanted to take a share.

"Prince Rui, just tell me, do you want our military department to take a share?" Looking at Lin Yi's expression, Pan Chengzhang knew what Lin Yi was thinking and asked directly after Lin Yi.

"Come on, sir, please don't be angry." Lin Yi, who looked like an old child, could only agree to Pan Chengzhang's request.

In fact, Lin Yi didn't even think about equipping Long Xiang's army with aircraft at first.

The military department definitely needs to be equipped as well. It's not impossible to get the military involved now.

Involving the military in advance can also better enhance the strength of the empire.

Moreover, even if it is not allowed now, in the later stage, when the factory is built, the military department will still need to be involved.

Instead of asking the military department to ask for help, it is better to let the people from the military department ask for help.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi took the initiative and said: "Sir, it's not impossible for you to take shares, but there are some things we have to make clear first."

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening." Pan Chengzhang also knows that there is no free lunch in this world. Since he is going to cooperate with Lin Yi, he is also prepared to provide money and people.

Besides, now that I am providing money and effort, these things will be circulated within the empire and can also enhance the empire's hard power.

If it goes to outsiders, the money will really flow out.

"Now our Longxiang Army is indeed researching something, and it is quite effective. It can barely meet the requirements of the war."

"But if you want to improve the capabilities of this thing, you still need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources."

"Since the boss said that he wants to take a shareholding, I will suffer a little loss. The boss will take two million imperial silver dollars every year as scientific research expenses, and then enjoy the cost price of the finished product."

"In terms of production capacity allocation, our Longxiang Army is willing to share the division [-]-[-] with the military department."

When Pan Chengzhang heard Lin Yi's request, he agreed without even thinking about it.

Two million imperial silver dollars per year for research? Is this considered money?

Every year, the military department spends tens of millions of research expenses on the following research institutes, but there may not be any output.

But now, you only need two million to get a research result, which is simply a waste of money.

Moreover, buying at cost price saves a lot of additional expenses. With the confidence of the military department that the family is big and the business is big, Pan Chengzhang really doesn't care about this little money.

When Lin Yi saw that Pan Chengzhang agreed without even thinking about it, he knew that his asking price was going to be lower.

But now that I have spoken out, I naturally cannot go back on my words.

But even so, Lin Yi actually made a lot of money.

First of all, the research fee he gave Feng Ru and the others was only one million imperial silver dollars every year.

Now the military department gives two million per year, which is equivalent to giving out its own research expenses.

Then with the extra million, I can also improve the living standards of Longxiang Army soldiers.

For example, buy more pigs and feed the soldiers meat.

As for buying at cost price.

Didn't Lin Yi set the cost price himself?

Although we are all acquaintances and would be embarrassed to kill each other with a dead hand, we can always increase the cost price by [-]%.

In this way, it is equivalent to giving one to the Longxiang Army for every ten aircraft the military department buys. Isn't it beautiful?

After Pan Chengzhang saw that Lin Yi agreed to his shareholding, he hurriedly asked Lin Yi: "Prince Rui, what are you fussing about?"

"Now that our military department has also become a shareholder, you should have told me."

Lin Yi nodded when he heard Pan Chengzhang's words, and then took out a design drawing from his arms.

"Sir, when I came today, I originally wanted to tell my uncle about this matter."

"Now that our new weapons have been successfully developed and have certain combat effectiveness, the next step should be to form an independent army and give this unit a separate designation."

"Yier, the serial number is not a problem. You can make the decision yourself. However, I am quite interested in this new weapon."

"I asked you before, and you were always mysterious. If you have to say something, I'll tell you after the experiment is successful." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Lin Yi also made a mistake.

"Don't I want to give uncle a surprise?"

"Oh, really? Then I would like to see if this surprise is big."

After hearing what Zhao Xu said, Lin Yi didn't hide anything. He directly laid the design drawing on the desk in front of Zhao Xu.

Then Lin Yi didn't forget the financial owner next to him.

"Sir, please come and take a look."

When Pan Chengzhang heard Lin Yi's words, he immediately ran to stand next to the desk.

He had long wanted to take a look at this new weapon, but because Zhao Xu said he had never seen it, he could only wait on the sidelines.

In fact, he also knew that Zhao Xu had just emphasized that he had never seen this new weapon before, and he also wanted to excuse Lin Yi.

But, is he, Pan Chengzhang, such a person? Does he care?

If he cared, he wouldn't invest money in Long Xiangjun as usual.

At this time, Lin Yi cleared his throat, and then said: "Let me introduce to you two a new weapon that is enough to change the way today's combat is fought!"

"The Empire's Silver Eagle, fly the No. [-] prototype!"
