Magic Underachiever

Hearing the Navy Minister's unconfident answer, Marquis Whitehead could only sigh: The Imperial Navy is really poor, but the Empire has waited for two hundred years and cannot wait another two hundred years. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must build a large fleet.

"Marshal, everyone who should come has come. Please announce the start of the Imperial Navy's large fleet recruitment meeting." The Marquis said very humbly: "Today is the Navy's home court. I am just a guest. Everything is based on the Empire's maritime power. This purchase does not need to take care of anyone's face, including me."

Although the Imperial Navy has set up its headquarters in Saroyan, it is directly under the Imperial Emperor, and Governor Marcellus has no jurisdiction. Marquis Whitehead expressed his position to Marshal Hopkins, and also hinted to the Imperial Navy that the warship brought by the Blackfire Company has nothing to do with him, and the Navy does not need to give him face when purchasing.

Marshal Hopkins couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after understanding the Marquis's hint.

The Imperial Navy was established in Saroyan. Although it had no subordinate relationship with Governor Marcellus, the logistics of the entire fleet were under the management of the Governor's Office. If the Marquis asks the Navy to purchase the warships of the Blackfire Company, and abuses public power for personal gain, and fleeces the Empire to make money for himself, the Navy Command should really give the Marquis this face.

Corruption is also a serious cancer within the Empire.

In fact, after seeing the warships that the Blackfire Company used for bidding, everyone thought that this warship was used by the Marquis Whitehead to cut the cake of the Imperial Navy's funding.

Now, since the Marquis has made it clear, the Imperial Navy does not need to buy this lifebuoy warship that will make it infamous for thousands of years.

The bidding meeting of the Flemish Empire Navy's Grand Fleet has begun.

All shipyards participating in the bidding submit their own ship information to the Imperial Navy, including the performance of the ship, the weapons that can be carried, the cruising speed, the maximum cruising range, the characteristics and the cost.

The Imperial Navy will select light frigates, torpedo boats, minelayers, minesweepers, anti-submarine... and other light warships with different functions from the many bidding ships, a total of 132 ships together to form the Empire's first offshore defense fleet.

Among them, 40 to 50 light frigates constitute the main fleet of this offshore defense fleet.

All warships that have not brought prototypes and are still on the drawings, no matter how high the performance on paper is, are not considered by the Imperial Navy. The environment in the imperial sea area is very bad now, and the navies of the eastern countries may rush over at any time. The Imperial Navy urgently needs technologically mature warships, which can be manufactured in large quantities after orders are placed.

Once the things on the drawings encounter problems during construction, it will delay the most precious time of the Imperial Navy.

First eliminate some, and then conduct a comprehensive comparison.

When the Imperial Navy sees the ship type it is interested in, it will let the prototype ship on the dock conduct a sea trial, and listen to the shipyard representative’s detailed introduction of its own warship.

As the intelligence staff of the Imperial Navy Command, Anne knew at the first time that the warship used by the Black Fire Company for bidding had been eliminated. She knew that behind the Black Fire Company was a group of heroes from the ancient magic era, and that the seemingly ugly warship might really have some black alchemy technology.

If that battleship is really excellent, and the Empire missed it...

Thinking of her father, Anne suddenly didn't know which side she should stand on, but she knew she had to figure out the battleship brought by the Blackfire Company, so she went to the stand of the shipyard representative to find Daliang.

At this time, Daliang sat comfortably in a rattan chair, wearing sunglasses on his eyes, with a parasol held up by Sofia on his head, and a maid serving drinks and fruits on the side. Robin and Eric wore black windbreakers and black sunglasses, standing behind him like bodyguards on the left and right. This dandy look seemed to be not coming to participate in the bidding, but to play at the beach. This style also attracted the attention of people around him. The maid that Daliang carefully selected for himself... is really beautiful.

"Master Liang," Anne sat down next to Daliang, wearing the uniform of a naval officer. At this time, the navy came to find bidders, there must be some inside story, and everyone around looked over instantly. Sofia immediately cast a soundproof barrier, and the surroundings instantly became quiet. Anne continued, "The warships that Blackfire brought this time... look really unique, which makes it difficult for the Imperial Navy to accept. I didn't find the information of Blackfire's bidding, it seems to have been thrown away.

I want to know the performance of the warship, so that I can directly recommend it to the Minister of the Navy, Marshal Hopkins."

"Thrown away?" Da Liang asked with a very bad face: "Didn't they look at the data I provided?"

"This..." You can't say that this warship is too weird and the Imperial Navy is too lazy to look at it. When Anne was thinking about how to explain, Robin bent down and whispered: "Boss Liang... Facing new things, ignorant people like to use stupid methods to deal with them.

You should know that the Imperial Navy was still the army some time ago. Most of them saw the sea for the first time and were timid. They were very conservative about forming a large naval fleet and took no mistakes as the principle. Therefore, they can't expect them to have forward-looking ideas for naval warfare. Blackfire made this ship like this, it must be because you, the boss, have foreseen the direction of the future battle for sea power.

In my eyes, every design of this ship has a unique meaning, representing the wisdom of your era.

You don't need to be acquainted with the seasick naval officers; you should show them how ignorant they are with the facts. "

Robin's smooth flattery... made Eric next to him tremble. He glared at Robin and sent his own subtext with his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't disturb the lady." What to do! Do you know what that ship is?"

Robin also glared back: "What do you know? According to my work experience, can the things of ancient heroes be ordinary things? In previous cases, whoever dared to question ancient heroes would have been slapped in the face like a pig's head in the end. of.

This time, my new boss will come to the bidding meeting in person. I guarantee that the ship will be very powerful.

remember! I am an expert, and I am helping the lady guide things to the right path. "

Robin's words made Daliang feel better again because his information was thrown away. Hovercraft technology is indeed not understood by people in this world, and it is inevitable that they will not understand the awesomeness of this design. Daliang believes that as long as he is given a chance to demonstrate here, all the warships here...except submarines can go home.

Daliang said to Anne: "You go to the Minister of the Navy. My ship is the kind of ship the empire needs most."
