Li Bao continued to answer: "During the sea test, the maximum speed above the ocean current was twelve knots, which was nearly twice as fast as the previous warships. In terms of range, it can sail 4,500 nautical miles at a speed of eight knots (one nautical mile in this world is equal to two kilometers)."

After answering Yang Song's question, Li Bao sighed: "The carrying capacity of this warship is also really amazing. In addition to a coal warehouse specially used for loading, it can also carry more than 1,800 tons of materials, and it has enough self-sustainment for more than ten days."

Although Yang Song had a little understanding of this before, it was only on the drawings. Now he was still very satisfied after seeing the real thing.

Moreover, after hearing what Li Bao said, the self-sustainment of more than ten days is enough to set off from Ninghai City to Ice and Snow Island three times, which is completely enough.

"Well, it's very good." Yang Song finally turned around and looked at everyone present and looked at him. He couldn't help but feel that his previous behavior was a little indecent.

However, he has been in power for so many years and is enough to deal with these small problems. Yang Song took a deep breath and then whispered loudly to everyone:

"I am Daxia and I have added another weapon here. You all have made great contributions. I hope you will continue to work hard and contribute to the strength of Daxia..."

After some encouragement, Yang Song boarded the battleship with everyone to browse. While listening to an officer's detailed explanation of the warship, he asked Li Bao behind him: "Li Bao, have the two naval fleets organized for so long?"

Li Bao replied: "Your Majesty, I have compiled it."

Yang Song walked in front without looking back, and ordered, "Tell me."

"Yes, your majesty." Li Bao bowed his fists and replied: "According to the previous plan, the First Fleet was led by General Zhao Tao and was responsible for sea combat. Therefore, after I became familiar with these three new types of warships in detail, I plan to form five battleships, five cruisers, twenty destroyers, and five supply transport ships for the First Fleet."

"The Second Fleet was led by General Xiang Chen for amphibious operations, ground support and attacks, so I have a great demand for three battleships, three cruisers, fifteen destroyers, and fifteen transport supply ships for the Second Fleet."

After hearing Li Bao's organization, Yang Song secretly calculated that the two fleets had eight battleships, eight cruisers, and thirty-five destroyers, which was more than the previous fleet's warships.

There were only six large and small sail battleships in total, but now there must be five in the first fleet alone, not to mention the same number of cruisers and more destroyers.

If he now agrees to Li Bao's organization? Yang Song can imagine how ugly the old face of Zhang Juzheng, who learned about this after returning to Zhongjing - Yang Song doesn't believe that the counterfeiting of these new warships will be cheap there!

"Is this a little too many? The warships are not army cannons, and the counterfeiting of these warships must be quite expensive, right?" Yang Song looked at Li Bao with some embarrassment, wanting the other party to consider it.

Li Bao was a little anxious when he heard this. He immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the account is not settled like this. The navy's warships are not the army's cannons, but their role is much more than cannons."

"And the coastal defense pressure in Daxia has always been very high. I lost a batch of ships when I went back and forth to the Ice and Snow Kingdom? Now the navy is waiting for ships."

Li Bao was afraid that Yang Song would make a layoff and persuaded him: "Your Majesty also knows how long the coastline of my Daxia is? Are these ships or the number that the ministers have obtained after the most streamlinedness? It can no longer be reduced."

"Aren't it all right before?" Yang Song was still very clear about the maritime threat from Xia Kingdom, so he asked in confusion: "Aren't the two countries with coastlines in the north of Daxia all under our control? Where did the pressure come from?"

"Your Majesty!" If another person said this? Li Bao had the intention to punch the other party, but who asked the question to be the Emperor Yang Song?

Helpless? Li Bao could only say patiently: "Your Majesty has forgotten? Can my Daxia have the current situation in the north? Thanks to the powerful combat power of the navy fleet. If the combat power is not enough, how can we conquer foreigners and maintain the overseas interests of our Daxia?"

Regarding Li Bao's hard work? Yang Song didn't know these reasons, but the main development direction of Xia Kingdom today is people's livelihood? There is no extra funds for the construction of maritime military forces.

Previously? Development of new warships? Yang Song was more concerned about replacing the existing "bad" warships. Even if the navy was divided into two, it was to consolidate the central court's control over the navy.

In Yang Song's vision, Li Bao's organization was designed to allocate battleships and combat power more reasonably. However, Li Bao's organization has seriously exceeded his expectations, which made Yang Song a little unable to rub his hands.

"Ahem~!" Yang Song was a little choked by Li Bao's words, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

"Bold! Don't be rude! General Li Bao, pay attention to your identity!" Wang Wei couldn't bear to see him. When he saw Li Bao confronting Yang Song again and again, he immediately looked straight and only took off his waist and cut the other party.

After Li Baoju Wang Wei, the commander of the Jinyiwei shouted loudly, he discovered that he had become a little reckless because he was too worried about the naval ships. So he immediately folded his fists and apologized: "I know the crime."

"Oh~" Yang Song waved his hand and said to Wang Wei: "I still know General Li Bao's sincere heart to my Daxia Haigong, and I can still understand some rudeness."

After saying that, Yang Song personally helped Li Bao, who was still bent, half-joking, and half-seriously: "General Li Bao, I won't be the case!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Bao knew that Yang Song was a little dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was proud of his contributions, but he had this intention, but he was rude in front of him.

Yang Song is no longer a decade old now. He has been in a high position for decades, and he still has a little experience in the way of the emperor. He knows what to do in some things.

After this, Yang Song put his mind back on the naval affairs in front of him. He pondered for a while and said frankly to Li Bao: "Li Bao, you have to know that the military expenditure is only so much every year, and it is impossible to make me spend so much money at one time."

After hearing Yang Song say this, Li Bao realized why Yang Song was so unwilling to do his post before. It turned out that it was still a matter of money after a long time!

After a long time, it turned out that Yang Song misunderstood Li Bao's meaning. If he had known this, Li Bao would have suffered this "torture".

Although I couldn't smile bitterly in my heart, Li Bao still said in detail: "Report to Your Majesty, my organization is not for the purpose of doing my best. Navy warships can be used, and my organization can be improved year by year."

"Tell me earlier!" Yang Song said intimately. If this were the case, why would he have been worried for so long? As long as he didn't take out so much money immediately, he would have agreed to Li Bao's organization. Instead, the power at sea would be strong enough.

"In this way, you have to organize the company. In principle, I agree." Yang Song nodded and said, "I believe that my Daxia navy can still persist."

"Your Majesty is wise!" At this moment, what can Li Bao say?
