Chen Shen didn't pay attention to the doubtful looks of the generals at all, and still kept to himself: "Last question: How long does it take to build a warship that can carry an army of 300,000 people? Or build several main ships in decibels?
Plus hundreds or even thousands of frigates will take more time?”
Navy Admiral Lu Menglong pondered for a moment and replied: "Although the giant battleship is broad, it can be a self-contained whole. It is probably faster to build it than to build thousands of small battleships separately. It should be completed within a hundred days.
Finish."
Chen Shen smiled calmly: "Haha, isn't that right? From the answers to the three questions I asked, we can see that a giant warship is far better than thousands of ordinary warships. I have no reason not to do this."
As soon as these words came out, the more than 20 Huainan Army generals and generals were dumbfounded and thought to themselves: "Commander Chen really takes things for granted!"
"The Huainan navy has fought against the Taikou navy for centuries. Looking at the whole of Daxia, no one can match it in water warfare."
"If Marshal Chen really only builds one giant battleship and tries to compete with the Huainan Navy, he is simply looking for death!"
"Hey, I'm regretting surrendering to him now. It's strange that we should lose in a water fight with such a stupid young man..."
In the field, Lu Menglong wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Chen Shen with a wave of his hand: "Okay, this matter is settled."
"Lu Menglong, please immediately summon the skilled craftsmen in the city to jointly draft a design drawing of a giant warship and bring it to me for review."
"As for the wages, they will be settled at double the normal working hours. However, I have a requirement, which is that the construction must be completed within a hundred days and the quality must be guaranteed."
"When the heavy ship is built, I will pay the craftsmen every penny."
"By the way, let the brothers from the mixed army also go to help. They will be responsible for supervising the work while doing the job. Don't let some young people fish in troubled waters and create a shoddy project to fool me."
Lu Menglong had never heard of "rotten project", but the meaning of this phrase was not difficult to understand.
Since his advice was not accepted, Lu Menglong couldn't say much. He immediately lowered his head and clasped his fists: "The general will take your orders!"
At the same time, the sixty-year-old man secretly sighed in his heart: "Although Marshal Chen is strong, he is still too young after all. A few big victories have made him arrogant and arrogant, and he underestimates his enemies and is conceited."
How can I be undefeated?"
"Alas! It seems that the legend of Daxia's flying general's undefeated victory in consecutive battles cannot escape the fate of his body sinking in the Huaijiang River after all!"
"I just hope that our army will not be too badly defeated by then, and maybe we can still have some energy left to retreat to Triangle City."
The naval battle is still far away, but Lu Menglong has already made plans for inevitable defeat.
If he hadn't been afraid of angering Chen Shen and being accused of shaking the morale of the army and being sentenced to death, the old man would have wished to state his interests in person and prevent the army from moving south.
"Humph, if he insists on going his own way, he will definitely suffer defeat!"
"That's all, maybe a big defeat is a good thing for Chen Shen."
For a moment, several of the older Huainan generals who had recently surrendered couldn't help but secretly thought: "If you can survive this defeat without dying, and with a lot of training, over time, Marshal Chen may really become a famous general who is not inferior to his grandfather, right?"
Chen Shen didn't know what these people were thinking. Even if he knew 80% of them, he wouldn't pay attention to them.
After the matter of making the Big Mac was finalized, the young man changed the subject and jumped directly to the demonstration of military exploits.
Qian Qian opened the city gate and raised an army of 300,000 to surrender. This achievement is not small.
Chen Shen was able to seize an important town in the middle region of the Huaijiang River without any bloodshed, and instigated the rebellion of Qian Qian, the heterosexual Xuan King. At the same time, he also added a large number of new troops to the Xia Kingdom that was in turmoil. It was also a great achievement.
Naturally, these matters must be reported to the King of Daxia and rewarded based on merit.
Since it takes hundreds of days to build a warship, Chen Shen now has plenty of time to wait for the reward from the imperial capital.
Well, whether he wants to become a profound formation master or to unlock the super gift package after being promoted to Tianxin, this young man needs a huge windfall.
The reward that he used to look down upon has now become the rhythm of "no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and if you can make a fortune, it will be a fortune".
After ordering all the soldiers to perform their duties, Chen Shen ordered people to call Qian Minghai, the head of the Qian family, into the palace.
Not long after, only the high-ranking Chen Shen, Qian Qian, Qian Minghai, and the three "mysterious people" wearing flowing fire masks were left in the huge hall of the city lord's palace.
Chen Shen waved his hand: "Buzz!"
In an instant, a purple-red mysterious energy barrier surged out, filling most of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
This is the result of Chen Shen deliberately hiding his clumsiness.
If he exerts his power without reservation, the seven-star Xuanwang's mysterious energy barrier can cover the entire city lord's central compound.
Chen Shen suddenly looked at one of the women wearing a flowing fire mask and said, "Okay, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it."
"kindness?"
Qian Minghai and Qian Qian both felt strange. What did Chen Shen mean when he suddenly said this to a man in a flowing fire mask?
Immediately afterwards, something even more surprising happened to the two of them——
The mysterious man hurriedly rushed to the two of them, took off his mask, and gave a respectful junior salute: "Qian Miao Ling pays his respects to Third Grandpa and Father!"
"Ah? You, you, you, are you a wonderful spirit?"
Qian Minghai stared and opened his mouth, obviously not expecting this mysterious person to be his daughter.
Even Qian Qian was surprised: "Girl, your aura... a one-star Xuanshi, have you been promoted to a one-star Xuanshi?"
You know, when this girl went to Qianhu City with Chen Shen a few months ago, she was just a Seven-Star Mystic.
Now, after not seeing each other for several months, Qian Miaoling suddenly became a one-star magician.
Such an advance was extremely fast for Qian Miaoling, who was good at refining pills rather than cultivating mysterious energy.
"This is all thanks to Mr. Chen. He once gave his daughter a middle-grade realm-breaking pill, plus several pills that increase the strength of her bones and blood." When Qian Miaoling said this, she did not forget to look back and smile.
Chen Shen was shocked by the beautiful eyes and subconsciously touched the tip of his nose: "Ahem, Xuan Dan and other things can only be auxiliary. If you hadn't practiced with great concentration in the past few months and fought first, Xuan Qi cultivation would have been impossible. Why wouldn’t it improve so quickly?”
Thinking back to half a year ago, Chen Shen and Qian Miaoling entered the school at the same time. Whether it was their profound energy cultivation or alchemy skills, they were very similar.
But just six months later, even though Qian Miaoling tried every means, he could not catch up.
This result had made her sigh countless times.
When father and daughter reunite, there is naturally a lot to talk about.
Chen Shen waited patiently for them to come to an end, and then he slowly said: "Qian Miaoling, you can return to the family next. I can feel more at ease when the clan members take care of each other with you."
"Anyway, there are more than 1,600 members of the Qian Family. If you are one more person, the rest of the legion won't notice anything."
Qian Miaoling nodded obediently, but no one noticed that a look of disappointment flashed across her eyes like bright stars...
