Magic Underachiever

Due to the construction of the No. 1 Saroyan Steel Plant, Roux suffered a serious fire hazard during this period. Before coming today, he was in a state of anxiety. If Blackfire Company is as Eliza said, it can come up with a battleship similar to the Sailfish-class light frigate. So for the same thing, the Imperial Navy will definitely give priority to purchasing Blackfire Company.

Without this order, Rooks Company will face a strong enemy in Saroyan, and shrinking operations will inevitably trigger a financial crisis within the company.

This time the Sailfish corvette was sure of victory, and Roux could finally breathe a long sigh of relief. His complicated mood changes made him run to Da Liang to provoke him regardless of his identity.

However, unlike what Lux expected, Master Liang actually had the idea of ​​​​acquiring Lux Steel Factory.

He must still be thinking that Marquis Whitehead can help him get orders from the Imperial Navy, but he can't see that he has failed.

Just when Roux was about to taunt Daliang a few more words, another naval officer came over and said to Daliang in a low voice: "Master Liang, the Governor invites you to the main stand. He hopes that you can give detailed instructions to Marshal Hopkin." Introducing the battleships brought by Blackfire Company."

…

In the main stand, Marshal Hopkins said to Marquis Whitehead in a very bad tone: "My Lord Governor... you just said that you will not interfere with the procurement of the Imperial Navy's fleet.

Now you show me the Blackfire Company battleship...

If Blackfire could take the rubber skirt off that boat, I could give them an order for a few. But if we are allowed to buy a warship like this, the Fromink Imperial Navy will become the laughing stock of the world, and His Majesty will definitely investigate the fraud in the procurement. "

There was no expression on the Marquis's face.

He didn't know why Annie suddenly asked to test the Blackfire Company's battleship, but looking at her insistence, she must know something. He believed that his daughter would not do anything to embarrass the empire and the family at this time, so maybe the Blackfire Company's battleship really...had something special?

The Marquis said to the angry Marshal Hopkin: "I have no intention of interfering with this procurement meeting of the Imperial Navy, but I believe in my daughter. Anne is the intelligence staff officer of the Naval Command. She previously worked in the Garrison General Administration and served as a Time Marcellus Director of the Special Security Service.

She is the best intelligence officer in the empire. She said let us take a look at the Blackfire Company's battleships, so it won't waste much time if we take a look.

If the Blackfire Company's battleships were as miserable as they looked, the Imperial Navy could have no need for any of them. "

Marshal Hopkin looked at the Marquis, and then at Anne who was standing behind him, and said with less anger: "Well, since you have informed Master Liang of Blackfire Company to come here, let's see what he brings us. What kind of battleship?

I believe that there is no battleship here that is stronger than the Sailfish-class light frigate. That is the battleship the Imperial Navy needs. "

Soon Da Liang and Roux arrived at the center of the main stand, and the attendants placed a chair next to Marshal Hopkin and Marquis Whitehead respectively. Marshal Hopkins invited Roux to sit next to him, and Da Liang sat next to Marquis Whitehead.

At this time, Marshal Hopkins couldn't wait to say to Roux: "Everything about the Sailfish corvette surprised me. I guarantee that after today, this battleship will be known to the world because it will bring the same All the light frigates were eliminated.

The Vromink Imperial Navy was very honored to have such advanced warships at the beginning of its establishment.

Its speed, its fire control...it's impeccable.

Of course, its cost is the only thing that makes us uncomfortable. 670,000 gold pounds a piece... At this price, you can buy two other types of light frigates. "

Roux smiled. The Admiralty had already started talking about prices, so the outcome was unlikely to change. The Blackfire Company was invited here, just to eat the leftovers of the Rooks Company.

"Dear Marshal." Roux replied to the quotation of the Sailfish corvette: "You have seen how excellent my battleship is. In terms of firepower, it is one level higher than the same level of battleships, and the output per unit time is increased by 100%. 30, the aiming speed can be 20% faster.

You have also seen the speed...except for speedboats that can only deal with cargo ships of 100 tons, no warship can surpass it.

In addition, the steel plant affiliated with the Rooks Company also developed a special steel for this warship, which is 100% harder than the steel currently used for shipbuilding.

Marshal, such a light frigate only costs 670,000 gold pounds... Is it expensive? If special steel is sold alone, it is three times that of ordinary ship steel. If it were not for the purpose of building the Imperial Navy and protecting my own maritime interests, I would not sell such a good warship so cheaply."

"What?" After hearing the hardness of the steel used to build the Sailfish corvette, Marshal Hopkin almost jumped out of his chair: "More than twice the hardness of ordinary shipbuilding steel! How can the Roux Steel Plant produce such steel? "

Marshal Hopkin was born in the army, and he knew very well the strategic value of this kind of steel. It can not only build battleships, but also cast cannons and create battle fortresses...

When Marshal Hopkin continued to ask about the special steel, Marquis Whitehead said: "Marshal...it's just high-hardness special steel. This kind of steel can also be produced by the Saroyan First Steel Plant.

Now that we know about the Sailfish-class corvettes, Mr. Roux has made a suitable offer for his boat.

Then let's listen to Master Liang introduce the light frigate he brought. "

Marshal Hopkin looked at Master Liang. Although he had already decided to get a swordfish-class light frigate, when he knew that the Saroyan First Steel Plant could also produce high-strength special steel, he did not dare to show neglect to Daliang.

"Master Liang, please start introducing the warships that Blackfire Company brought to the Imperial Navy this time. I hope it can bring me some surprises."

Daliang said: "The warship I brought should not be called a light frigate. It is a brand-new ship designed by Blackfire Company for the Vlomink Empire.

I call it a turtle-class multi-functional combat platform.

Everyone can see that my ship has not yet been installed with a weapon system, and the reason is... there is no need to design its weapon system separately. Its spacious deck can be matched with various weapons at will.

With a torpedo tube installed, it is a torpedo boat; with sonar and depth charges installed, it is a professional anti-submarine speedboat; with main guns and anti-aircraft guns installed, it is a frigate.

It is no problem to install a 155mm heavy gun.

It is easy to operate... You can change its maritime function at any time by changing its armaments as needed. The parts are interchangeable, which can effectively reduce the pressure of logistics. If the Imperial Navy purchases all my turtle-class multi-functional combat platforms in this bidding, you will not need to train sailors for different types of warships separately.

You can form combat effectiveness in the fastest time. "
