After Li Yan's narration without any exaggeration, Warring States finally understood the cause and effect.

Warring States also couldn't understand why Aokiji, whom he had always been optimistic about and prepared to take over from him in the future, could do such an immature thing.

If you want to defend Aokiji on this matter, it would be very simple. Just use the Navy Regulations. At most, you can accuse him of arresting the Donghai Navy for very inappropriate reasons.

But once this is done, not only the hawks led by Akainu will not be convinced, but Li Yan will also not be convinced, and even all branches of the entire navy will have thoughts about Aokiji.

Then the gain outweighs the loss.

after all...

Since the day he became marshal, Seng Guo has been telling himself that now he is no longer a dove but a marshal of the navy.

And I have always done this.

Therefore, you must balance the various forces in the navy when doing things, and cannot be overly biased towards doves.

"I know the matter. I will give Kuzan an order to release him. In addition, the capture this time does not need to be turned over to the headquarters. All of it will be used for the development of the East China Sea Navy. But this matter ends here!"

After thinking for a moment, Warring States made a decision.

To put it simply, it means not punishing the green pheasant, not even verbally criticizing it.

But in exchange, all the seizures in this battle will belong to Li Yan and will not be turned over to the headquarters.

Li Yan was naturally not dissatisfied with such a result.

It is unrealistic for the Warring States Period to really deal with Aokiji.

It would be better to say that it drove the Warring States Period into a panic, and he might even turn against himself in order to protect Aokiji in the end.

This is not impossible, after all...

Qing Pheasant is the successor he trained, that is his biological son!

Half an hour later.

Nokigao, along with Kalifa, Nami and a hundred sailors, finally walked out of the G1 branch.

Of course, the previous seizures were also brought out.

"General Sakaski, now that the matter has been resolved, I will take the people back home."

"Well, don't forget about the warship!"

"Don't worry, I will ask Carrera Company to draw up quotations for different ship types as soon as I get back!"

Li Yan nodded and said with a smile.

This Akainu is really full of warships now, and he didn't forget to remind himself before leaving.

Sure enough, even Akainu, in front of the giant ship's cannon, could only kneel down and shout "It's so sweet."

And just when Li Yan was preparing to return.

G1 branch, in the office where Aokiji is located.

"Qing Pheasant, what you did is too immature. Even if you want to intercept these seizures, you should not arrest Li Yan's men!"

"Marshal, do you really think I'm here for these seizures?"

"What's the meaning?"

Sengoku asked, and the phone bug also acted out Sengoku's frowning expression very responsibly.

"Haven't you discovered yet? Li Yan definitely has a secret. Look, in less than a year, he has created a navy that is more elite than our own. He even has a group of subordinates with the strength of major generals, lieutenant generals and even generals.

Not to mention those guns, cannons, warships, etc."

"Although Sakaski is extreme, there is no doubt that he has the justice of our navy in his heart. But Li Yan is different. I can't feel the existence of any justice in him."

"Such a person, let him be the local emperor in the East China Sea, once he develops, the consequences will be unimaginable, both for our navy and the entire world pattern!"

Qingzhi's mood was a little excited, which was a kind of fear of position.

After all, everything about Li Yan is unknown to him, even his concept of justice and values.

Human nature likes to define unknown things as hostile existences, and this is especially true for doves.

"Qing Pheasant, what you said is just speculation, and there is no evidence to support it!"

"This matter ends here!"

Warring States no longer wanted to continue with Qing Pheasant on this issue.

In his view, although Li Yan had developed timeless firearms, cannons and even warships, he had not concealed any of these.

Moreover, the headquarters also has all the information about the people under him, and their origins are absolutely clean.

Not to mention that Kizaru's direct disciple and Garp's grandson are now serving under Li Yan.

The Warring States Period could not think of any reason to doubt Li Yan's loyalty to the navy.

As for what Aoki Pheasant said, in his opinion, it was more of just personal intuition.

------

Ten days later.

East China Sea, Corona Island, Shipbuilding Island.

Li Yan, who returned to the East China Sea, after arranging everything, went directly to the shipbuilding island and held a meeting with Carrera Company's referendum and Franky.

There are two themes for this meeting.

One is the foreign trade of new warships, and the other is the redefinition of warship classes.

The matter of foreign trade is very simple. It is directly based on the current warships, and then divided into several levels and sold to the headquarters.

In one of the basic versions, the entire ship will not use Adam's wood, but will be made of ordinary wood.

Of course, if you do this, you also need to make compromises with the naval guns. After all, ordinary wood cannot support such a powerful naval gun.

Therefore, the basic version of the warship will only be equipped with a naval gun with a caliber of 127MM, priced at 200 million Baileys.

The second is a high-end version, partially made of Adam's wood, and equipped with a 203MM main gun and a 127MM secondary gun, priced at 500 million Baileys.

The last one is the flagship version. The entire ship is made of Adam's wood. The main gun is two twin-mounted 280MM caliber, and the secondary gun uses 155MM caliber. The price has soared to 2 billion Baileys.

Although the price is so exaggerated, once the price list is released, no one will say that the price is too bad.

After all, the price of Adam's wood is there, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

As for the basic version only installing 127MM naval guns, this is naturally because ordinary wood cannot withstand stronger naval guns. This department can prove this on its own, right?

Of course, Li Yan also kept an eye on this foreign trade warship.

Although the calibers are there, they are all castrated versions, and there are certain restrictions on both the range and the power of the shells.

As for how to achieve such restrictions, just leave it to Levine.

After talking about the foreign trade version of the warship, Li Yan began to talk about the highlight of the day.

Reclassification of battleship classes.

According to the original division of the pirate world, warships are simply divided into four types: small warships, medium warships, large warships and super warships. Simply based on size, it is very simple and crude.

Li Yan, on the other hand, planned to use his advanced experience in his previous life and then redefine it according to the purpose of warships.

1. Frigates are defined as small tonnage and weak firepower. They mainly perform missions such as caravan escort, regional patrol, warning or reconnaissance, and generally do not perform long-distance voyage missions.

Second, the destroyer has a speed that is not weaker than the frigate, but is much larger in size. In the future, it will mainly assume the role of sword guard of the East China Sea Fleet, dedicated to protecting the battleships.

Third, cruisers are weaker than battleships in terms of firepower, but they can cope with most situations, are fast, and are much cheaper than battleships. They are suitable for rapid support, deployment, and certain independent combat capabilities.

Fourth, battleships, these are real giant ships and cannons. The first-generation ironclad ships being built now fall into this category.

It has powerful firepower, thick armor, and long range.

The most important thing is that the powerful naval guns equipped on it still pose a certain threat even to the level of the Four Emperors.

Although the battleship is very powerful, it is too expensive to build. The one currently under construction has already consumed Li Yan's 500 million Baileys and 10 million of his contributions.

Before local steel production increases, Li Yan will not start building the second ship. After that, he will build a batch of frigates and destroyers, plus a few cruisers.
