Chapter 95 The Speaker's Visit
The Florminke Empire Navy purchased ships for the offshore defense fleet this time, and originally planned to purchase 132 light warships of various types below 1,000 tons. However, the turtle-class multi-functional combat platform was too excellent and too cheap. Therefore, Marshal Hopkin temporarily decided to expand the offshore defense fleet to 300 battleships, and all of them were turtle-class produced by Blackfire Company.
Marshal Hopkin liked the landing ability of the turtle-class multi-function combat platform so he purchased 400 sets of hovercraft engine assembly, and planned to be used as replacement spare parts for turtle-class, and the other part was used to build professional landing crafts that could accommodate more personnel and heavy equipment.
...
In this way, the battleship tender, which originally planned to take seven days, ended like this.
Like the prediction that someone said at the beginning of the bidding meeting, the battleship in a lifebuoy brought by Blackfire Company eliminated all the battleship plans participating in the bidding, becoming the biggest winner of the bidding meeting of the Florminke Empire Navy Fleet, and won this large order of tens of millions of gold pounds in one fell swoop.
I don't know how many people are jealous of it...
After the bidding meeting ended, the turtle-level multi-functional combat platform was transmitted to all parts of the world through radio waves, and a storm was brewing rapidly.
Daliang didn't know what kind of sensation a hovercraft he built casually caused. As soon as he returned to Elysee Avenue, Speaker Peters knocked on his door.
Peters is the person who least wants to form a large imperial naval fleet. Once this fleet has formed combat effectiveness, it will be sandwiched between Marcellus from the empire. In addition, the informants from the court also reported that the imperial emperor had agreed to build a heavy arsenal in Saroyan, which is undoubtedly a bad news for the parliament.
The Empire's continuous strengthening of its military power in Marcellus also revealed the imperial emperor's determination to solve the Marcellus issue.
However, the citizens of Saroyan seem to be less likely to incite as before. The parliament once tried to control public opinion to prevent the Imperial Navy from building a military port. But the number of responders was far less than before the founding of the National Star.
Now "National Star Newspaper" is Saroyang's best-selling newspaper. Reading gossip in the National Star Newspaper is almost a must-do thing for every Saroyang citizen.
The National Star News not only reports on interesting news between celebrity entertainment and citizens, but also pioneered the selfie column.
No matter who you are, as long as you take interesting family photos and add a text description, you can send them to the National Star Newspaper for submission. Star Newspaper has specially opened four pages to publish these photos, and some people who are often reported have gradually become celebrities among citizens.
"Anyone can become a star"
This is the purpose of "National Star Newspaper".
Now... Saroyang's citizens are not only keen on reading the National Star Newspaper, but also keen on selfies. Their concern for the municipal government is that they are not as strong as before...
When Peters realized the seriousness of the matter, he felt only scared.
The people's hearts are the most powerful weapon of the Marcellus parliament to fight Florminke. When the people's attention is no longer on regional contradictions, the barrier built by the parliament will become loose.
"National Star" was founded by Young Master Liang. Speaker Peters did not know whether he intentionally or unintentionally, but just stabbed it in the heart of the parliament. "National Star" was completely legal, and never commented on any municipal affairs and had no imperial color, so the parliament did not even have a solution to it.
Just now, Speaker Peters saw the style of the turtle-class multi-functional combat platform at the bidding meeting of the Imperial Navy Fleet, and also knew that the turtle-class became the final winner and was purchased by the Imperial Navy 300 ships.
Regardless of whether Young Master Liang is from the Empire or not, Speaker Peters believes that he must meet him, otherwise the parliament may not have a chance.
Peters was taken to Daliang by a maid. At this time, Daliang was looking at a drawing and looking at the lines on it, it seemed to be an engine.
After sitting down, the Speaker said to Daliang: "Master Liang, congratulations to Black Fire Company on winning the favor of the Imperial Navy. Today, the Turtle-level multi-functional combat platform performed so well, and a brand new ship design route was pioneered from your hands.
I think in the future, the black fire shipyard will be paid attention to by the world, and there will definitely be many people who want to get the design drawings of the turtle-level multi-function combat platform. There will also be many shipyards starting to study their own turtle-level..."
Daliang's eyes did not take off the drawings, and he said to Speaker Peters: "The ship that uses steam to lift the hull to the water is called a hovercraft. The structure of the hovercraft itself is not complicated, and it is even simpler than commercial cargo ships. The real technical content is its engine.
The next research direction of the Black Fire Shipyard... In addition to designing a larger warship, it is to study the next generation of lifting engines based on this engine so that the ship can truly fly away from the sea...
By the way, is there anything wrong with your Excellency Speaker coming to me this time?"
Isn’t it the aerospace warship of the ancient magic era?
Speaker Peters did not expect that Mr. Liang had such great ambitions and wanted to recreate the fortress in the sky that had once galloped in the sky. However, the Speaker did not waste time on technical issues. Since Mr. Liang asked about his purpose, Peters said: "I remember Mr. Liang once told me that you have no political stance and are just a pure businessman, and will not interfere with the conflict between Marcellus and Florminke.
But what you have done recently has obviously broken the Marcellus balance.
I won't make too much comment on the "National Star" you founded. Just the turtle-level multi-functional combat platform you sold to the Imperial Navy, it will make the parliament panic.
The parliament was committed to building a democratic Marcellus, so we have always resisted the imperial monarchy, and the nobles of the empire were also determined to divide Marcellus into fiefs of the nobles. The Florminke Empire was very aggressive. Once the imperial emperor believed that the empire's strength in Marcellus was strong enough, it would definitely set off the Second Marcellus War.
Marcelus is a buffer zone between the Flormink Empire and the Eastern countries, and they will not sit still and see the empire really owning it.
If the forces of Marcelus are unbalanced again, a large-scale war will inevitably occur. Last time, the entire Saroyan found a complete house in the entire land for a hundred years.
Chapter completed!
