Grand Line, Naval Headquarters.

Malinvando.

At this moment, a group of senior navy officials were in the conference room, watching the previous video footage of the revolutionary army's air attack on the Gonzalo fleet.

"What do you think?"

After the video finished playing, Warring States asked.

This is the main topic of the meeting held today by the Warring States Period.

After all, the Revolutionary Army dispatched a total of twenty-four fighter planes this time, and the threat it poses is far from the two fighter planes two months ago.

Regardless of whether the navy is going to completely confront the revolutionary army next, the navy must prepare a response strategy in advance for any new weapons and tactics, otherwise it will be too late to wait for the war to begin.

However, everyone was silent in response to Warring States' questions.

Speaking of which, they had already seen the news and the video.

There is no need to even ask the Warring States Period. As senior leaders of the navy, they immediately thought about what they would do if the fleet under their command was attacked.

Well, most people quickly came to a conclusion...

There is no way!!!

Although these lieutenant generals and major generals basically know six forms, they also have some air combat capabilities.

But compared with these fighters, they are no different from target drones. After all, Moon Step is not a skill that focuses on flexibility.

"Marshal, I suggest increasing the purchase of warships in the East China Sea!"

"The machine gun towers on these battleships may be our most effective form of air defense at present."

"Other than that, only the three generals or some Devil Fruit users with anti-air capabilities can fight against them."

After a brief silence, the flying squirrel said.

Hearing this, Warring States felt bitter in his heart.

Doesn't he know about the machine gun turrets on those new warships?

Of course he knew, after all, the East China Sea Fleet had previously used these machine gun towers to form a barrage, and in the battle at the G1 branch last year, it directly blocked Yan Disaster's actions.

It can be said that the anti-air capability is still very good.

And according to what was shown in the battle video, if the revolutionary army wanted to strafe or drop bombs, they would need to lower their altitude or even do so in a dive attitude.

Therefore, even if the machine gun towers on the battleship cannot effectively shoot it down, they can still block it with barrage to prevent it from approaching.

only...

These battleships are not cheap!

According to the three types of warships Li Yan had previously sold to the headquarters, even the most low-end version cost 2 billion Baileys. But now the three generals' cars, the flagship version, are directly priced at 2 billion Baileys.

.

It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive, the problem is, you can’t buy too much even if you have money!

After all, Adam's tree is not infinite.

Well, although for Li Yan, he could have as many Adam Baomu as he wanted, but from the Warring States Period, Li Yan said that there were not many Adam Baomu, so the warships could not be opened for sale, so that was no problem at all.

As for the ironclad ship, Li Yan's excuses were even better.

The output of steel in the Pirate World is not high to begin with. If the headquarters can provide sufficient steel, then there will be no problem.

If not, then there is no excess steel in the East China Sea to build ironclad ships for the headquarters, right?

Moreover, while Li Yan was developing the iron ore island, he was also purchasing steel all over the world.

This incident was quite a big deal at the time, and even caused a spike in the price of steel in the Pirate World.

Therefore, now Li Yan is saying that steel is tight. If the headquarters cannot solve the steel problem, then it will not be able to build ironclad ships for the headquarters. This is completely understandable.

Otherwise, the Warring States Period would have asked Li Yan to start a large-scale procurement model for ironclad ships.

As a result, the Warring States Period was embarrassed.

You can’t buy many warships that use Adam’s wood.

And ironclad ships are even more unavailable.

However, if ordinary naval warships are used, they are completely powerless against the revolutionary army's aerial weapons.

For a while, he had no choice at all.

"Warring States, although we can't solve the problem of warships, we can let Li Yan mass-produce that kind of machine gun and install it on our existing naval standard warships."

Just when Warring States was in distress, Crane beside him suddenly spoke.

And this opening made everyone stunned.

They found that they seemed to have fallen into a dead end. Staff Officer He was right. Because of the relationship between Adam's wood and steel, warships could not purchase and refit in large quantities, but they could only buy machine guns.

After all, this thing is not that kind of naval gun. Even if you don't need to crush Baomu's warship, there is no problem using this thing, right?

It can be purchased in large quantities first and then installed on standard warships to solve the current urgent need.

Suddenly, Warring States became excited.

That's right, just do it.

Sure enough, when in doubt, you still have to watch the crane!

With the solution in hand, Warring States didn't care whether they were still in a meeting or not. He directly picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Yan, asking about the price and production volume of that heavy machine gun.

------

at the same time.

Li Yan was boarding the airship with Zefa, preparing to return to the branch.

He also saw the message from the Warring States Period, and immediately frowned slightly.

"What happened?"

"Would you like to take a look?"

Li Yan didn't shy away and handed over the phone directly.

"Heavy machine guns, the kind found on battleships. It seems that the Warring States Period wanted to use this weapon to arm warships on a large scale to deal with Dorag's air threat."

"That should be the case."

After seeing the message from Warring States, Zefa immediately guessed his intention.

After all, this is the Navy, not the Army. If we want to purchase heavy machine guns in large quantities, other than this, we can't think of any other reason.

Li Yan also nodded, agreeing very much with this.

"Then what are you going to do? Are you looking for a reason to refuse?"

"No, give them as much as they want!"

At first, Li Yan wanted to find a reason to refuse.

But after careful consideration, we finally decided to supply and opened up the supply.

On the one hand, this is not a special anti-aircraft machine gun. It is just installed by Li Yan on the warship to deal with some people with special abilities or physical practitioners who can move in the air.

Therefore, this thing is essentially an ordinary heavy machine gun. It just adds a fixed bracket and a special ammunition supply system. Its shooting performance is very weak, and it does not pose a great threat to fighter aircraft.

It may have a certain deterrent effect on fighter planes, but it is definitely not as big as Sengoku thought.

On the other hand, supplying it without reservation can also increase the headquarters' reliance on itself in terms of armaments, right?

You know, except for the Corona Eighteen Styles, Li Yan has never given the technology and drawings to this department.

Take the warships purchased by the headquarters as an example. If the ammunition supply in the East China Sea is lost, it will not take long for their combat effectiveness to even be inferior to that of ordinary navy warships.

Moreover, if you insist on speaking, this can also express your own attitude and further reduce the possibility of everyone associating themselves with the revolutionary army.

The most important thing is that Dorag will not attack the navy at all now!

then...
Chapter completed!
