Don’t think so!
Simply perfect!
There is not much debate, Party A’s father is more important than anything else, and besides, Party A’s modified design is still so scientific!
After further improving the original design of Ruanda, the Coast Guard Fleet Management Office issued an order a week ago. But now, even though only a few keels have just been laid, it is openly placed in front of Seymour and others.
.
In fact, the warships built by various countries in these years are not kept secret at all. Just like the "Indomitable", the first ship in history to adopt the "central ironclad" technology, during the construction, the two sides were divided on the issue of whether to use the "central ironclad" technology.
The newspaper quarrel lasted for a year or two and even led to several shutdowns of warships.
In order to show their respective views to public opinion, they even directly published their respective drawings and designs in newspapers.
As for confidentiality?
Each one of them wanted to show all the drawings directly to the outside world, and even added a little bit of explanation, lest the outside world could not understand.
At this time, facing this cutting-edge combat ship that even had its sails removed, Seymour was a little uneasy. He stared at the model of the warship.
"You canceled the sail?"
"Yes, although wind power can be used to save coal, if the sails are removed, the weight saved can thicken the armor by 50% under the same displacement, and save half the crew!"
Li Xuelin's answer made Seymour feel ecstatic. This information couldn't be more important!
“Nanhua has no plans for overseas expansion!”
Almost subconsciously, Seymour made this judgment.
"If my guess is not wrong, the South China Navy's demand for warships should be to serve in the waters around South America, but they can carry out appropriate voyages at sea. This is the fundamental reason why they canceled the sails, because in this mission background
Under the circumstances, warships only need to be fast and can appropriately ignore endurance, that is, the main power comes from steam engines. In order to ensure the thickness of the armor, they directly canceled the sails!"
At the British Trade Agency in South China, in front of Edward Thornton, Seymour made his judgment quite proudly.
This is the most important information he collected during this trip!
"So, they have indeed built a capital ship?"
The answer is of course yes.
"It seems that we don't have any chips in our hands anymore!"
Edward Thornton's brows knitted together, and then he said.
"Now, if they don't need our warships, then the question becomes, how do we get them to agree to sell the airships!"
Looking up at Nanhua outside the window and gazing at this bustling city, Edward Thornton thought of London. If Britain did not have airships, then Britain would have to face a real problem-the French airships had
It may fly over London in a future war, and then drop heavy bombs on London one after another. In the fierce bombing, tens of thousands of British people will die and tens of millions of people will be enriched.
for ashes...
"We must get the spaceship, and we will do it at any cost!"
In the reception room, there were bursts of hearty laughter. Edward Thornton, the ambassador of the British Empire, was meeting with Zuo Zongtang. This was not the first time they met. In fact, they were old friends.
There have been no less than twenty communication meetings.
"As far as I know, the price of rubber on the Brazilian market has increased by 30%. Almost all industrial countries in the world are rushing to buy rubber. I heard that you have established the world's first artificial rubber plantation on the Congo River.
."
After a pause, Edward Thornton said half-jokingly:
"I have to admit that your Majesty has the most unique vision in the world. Perhaps a few years ago, you had the foresight to predict that the airship would be an important weapon in the world, and its construction is inseparable from rubber.
. You have stockpiled thousands of tons of rubber before this,"
Faced with such compliments, Zuo Zongtang laughed and said.
"Hoarding rubber is just normal business behavior. After all, rubber has many uses. In addition to airships, there are also many places where rubber can be used."
"The returns you get in business are extremely rich, but they are far less than the returns you get in Argentina."
Then, Edward said again.
"Now your goal has been achieved. But I can't help but want to ask you, where will Nanhua's next goal be?"
"The next goal? Haha, of course it is to build Nanhua. The next step must be to build Nanhua, I mean the whole of Nanhua!"
Zuo Zongtang said to Edward with a smile.
"The whole of South China? Including Buenos Aires? Then this will require a lot of investment, right? Do you have such financial resources?"
"Bond!"
Zuo Zongtang smiled and said:
"As the victors of the war, our bonds are very popular in France and England. I believe that as long as we are willing, there are many bankers who are happy to issue our bonds. Edward, give you a suggestion, if you want to get one in the future
Huge returns, you might as well buy some of our bonds! You will definitely get huge returns!”
Without the experience of inspecting various countries, Zuo Zongtang would never have made such a change. He actually turned into a bond salesman and actively promoted Nanhua bonds to Edward. This may be new in Taqing, but in Europe and the United States, politicians promote sales
Bonds are simply normal. After all, finance is the foundation of common government. Without sufficient finance, what kind of common government can there be?
"As we all know, Nanhua's bonds are high-quality bonds. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely buy it. I will definitely not miss this investment opportunity."
Edward laughed and said again.
"Besides construction, does Nanhua have no other goals?"
"Other targets?"
There was a murmur in Zuo Zongtang's heart. He looked at this guy Edward. This guy mentioned some goals again and again, so I'm afraid he didn't mean anything.
"Yes, in addition to construction, I think Nanhua must have other goals, such as the exiled regime in Uruguay!"
Edward took a puff of his cigar and then said slowly.
"I think your Excellency should know that the existence of a regime in exile is definitely a potential threat to you."
"The threat is indeed a threat, but it is just ringworm and scabies, which is not worth mentioning at all."
Despite what he said, Zuo Zongtang still frowned.
What he was thinking about was not the "regime in exile", but why Edward mentioned the government in exile. These British people would not mention this matter for no reason.
What is their purpose?
What is the current situation in the Rio de la Plata?
After Nanhua occupied Argentina, it had completely changed the situation in this region. The British's careful layout here was completely disrupted by Nanhua.
Logically speaking, the people who are least happy to see South China occupying Argentina must be the British, but why are they talking about Argentina's "exile regime" now?
To put it bluntly, the "exile regime" is basically a dog raised by the British, and they mentioned some potential threats.
Could it be that...they want to give up that dog?
Zuo Zongtang didn't know what made the British make this decision, but what is certain is that the British would never make this decision for no reason, they must have a conspiracy.
And for Nanhua, this is definitely not a bad thing!
After thinking for a moment, Zuo Zongtang explored.
"The so-called "government in exile" is now in Uruguay. Even if we want to solve this problem, I'm afraid we can't avoid Uruguay!"
Facing Zuo Zongtang's temptation, Edward Thornton gave a straightforward answer.
"If that's the case, then why do you have to avoid it?"
