198 19 billion Bailey's super big order
Three days later, when Akainu got Li Yan's quotation...
His eyes almost popped out of his head.
What the hell, the cheapest version is 200 million Baileys, and even the premium version, which is neither higher nor lower, costs 500 million Baileys. As for the flagship version that Li Yan has experienced before, it is as high as 2 billion Baileys.
You know, navy-standard warships, large ones or even warships dedicated to the Demon-Slaying Order, only cost 200 million Baileys.
As a result, at the same price, you can only buy a basic version?
Who can afford this price?
So, thinking that Li Yan had teamed up with Carrera Company to hack Akainu, he picked up the phone and called him.
"Li Yan, what's going on with your price?"
"General Sakaski, this is the price offered by Carrera Company!"
"Then you mean that you spent 10 billion beli to purchase the five warships of the East China Sea Fleet?"
"That's definitely not the case. Where did I get so many Baileys..."
When Akainu heard this, he thought, isn't this a disgrace to himself?
"General, you should know the value of Adam's treasure wood, right?"
Looking at Akainu's ugly expression simulated by the phone bug, Li Yan asked.
Of course, Akainu has heard of Adam Baomu. Although he doesn't understand the shipbuilding industry, he also knows that this thing is very expensive and has a high price but no market.
"General, in fact, the main reason why the premium and flagship versions are so expensive is because of the Adam's treasure wood!"
"After all, warships made of ordinary wood cannot withstand the huge power of new naval guns. Take the main gun on our warship as an example. If it is installed on an ordinary warship, I am afraid that if it fires a few shots, it will be fired first.
My warship fell apart."
"This is also the reason why the basic version of the warship only uses 127MM caliber naval guns."
"As for high-end warships, Adam's wood is used in some key parts of the ship, so that the entire warship can withstand the recoil of more powerful naval guns."
"But if we really want to use that terrifying 280MM naval gun, the entire ship will have to use Adam's wood!"
Treating his first big customer, Li Yan explained very patiently.
"But didn't you just say that the five warships you built didn't cost as much as 10 billion beli?"
With the detailed explanation, Akainu's expression softened slightly.
However, Akainu still remembered what Li Yan said before, so he immediately asked.
"General, that's because I accidentally discovered a treasure in the East China Sea, which contains a huge amount of Adam's wood, enough to build five warships!"
"If the general wants to order this kind of warship now, he can only order it through Carrera Company. Although they, as the world's number one shipbuilding company, have the purchase channel of Adam Balmu, the price..."
Okay, Akainu understands.
In other words, the reason why Li Yan did not spend so much money was because he provided Adam Baomu himself.
And if you want to buy it yourself, the price of Adam's wood will be included in it.
Speaking of which, after the G1 branch battle ended, Akainu approached Sengoku and expressed his desire to purchase Li Yan's warship through Carrera Company.
Naturally, the Warring States Period supported this idea.
After all, this kind of warship has been tested in actual combat and is indeed very powerful.
So it's totally fine for Akainu to buy a few ships first and try them out. Once the results are good, the entire navy will gradually upgrade them.
Considering that the price of this new type of warship and new type of naval gun may not be cheap, the Warring States Period also directly approved a fund of 5 billion Baileys for Akainu.
Of course, according to the ideas of the Warring States Period.
This amount of money was enough for Akainu to replace the entire G1 branch, almost twenty warships, and Akainu had the same plan.
But the result...
Let alone 20 warships, if we order them all according to Li Yan's kind of warships, five billion Baileys can only buy 2, okay?
This psychological gap is really too big!
As a result, Akainu couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he replied to Li Yan and after thinking about it, he directly called the phone bug to the Warring States side.
After listening to Akainu's narration, Sengoku was equally confused.
Is this warship so expensive?
Dang even called the officers in charge of warship maintenance in the navy and asked about it.
After this question, everyone felt bad.
Several officers made it clear that if the entire ship was really made of Adam's wood, two billion would be really not expensive, and could even be said to be very cheap.
Sengoku, who did not believe in evil, went to the Naval Science Department to find Vegapunk, and let him see the images recorded by the G1 branch at that time of the East China Sea Fleet shelling pirates.
Vegapunk immediately told Sengoku that based on the degree of explosions in these pictures and the movements of the warships when they fired, ordinary warships really couldn't withstand it and had to be built with special materials, and Adam Baomu was naturally
The first choice, maybe even the only choice.
At this time, Warring States didn't know what to say.
Although it was confirmed that Li Yan and Carrera Company had not deceived him, other problems followed.
With such a high cost, do you really want to buy it?
In the end, Zheng Gu, who had been unable to make up his mind for a long time, had no choice but to find He and explain everything completely.
"Warring States, I think I still have to buy it!"
"But there is no need to change the uniforms of the entire navy!"
After thinking for a while, He opened his mouth and said.
"The cost is expensive, but it is obvious that this warship can definitely defeat our ten ordinary warships. The most important thing is that ordinary warships cannot pose a threat to those powerful pirates on the sea, but this kind of warship can
!”
"Based on the battle situation of the G1 branch, I even suspect that this kind of warship can pose a certain threat even against the Yonko!"
"But obviously, if you want to completely change the uniforms, unless Marigio provides financial support, our navy simply does not have that many Baileys."
"Therefore, we might as well change our thinking. The current standard warships in the Four Seas and the first half of the Great Route are enough to suppress them, so we only need to refit the G1 and G5 branches in the new world."
"Another point is that not all of them need to be replaced with the flagship version. According to the instructions provided by Li Yan, even the basic version has a 127MM naval gun that can reach a maximum range of one kilometer, which is far beyond the range of the Pirates.
The current mainstream range of naval guns, coupled with a speed of fifteen knots, can also suppress pirates!"
Listening to He's analysis, Zeng Guo's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right, why should I bother with changing uniforms across the entire navy?
Like the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Route, the navy can still suppress them even without using such warships.
Therefore, the only place that I really need to pay attention to is the New World, a place where the power of pirates and navy is completely out of balance!
And He's right. You shouldn't just think about the best. The basic version is also good.
With a range of one kilometer and a speed of fifteen knots, it is enough to deal with any pirate group as long as they don't encounter the Four Emperors.
Even if you can't fight, you can still fly a kite, right?
Therefore, purchasing a small amount of the flagship version, and then purchasing a large amount of the basic version and a certain number of advanced versions will be enough to significantly increase the navy's combat effectiveness in the new world.
In the end, after repeated compromises between demand and price, the Warring States Period finally settled on a purchase order for warships.
The basic version has forty ships, totaling 8 billion Baileys.
The premium version has ten ships, totaling 5 billion Baileys.
The flagship version has three ships (one for each of the three generals), totaling 6 billion Baileys.
Just like that, a huge order of 19 billion yuan for super warships...
Chapter completed!
