The reason why the fourth child suggested that the Central Plains Navy Fleet conduct a military exercise in the southwest sea was actually for a simple purpose, which was to force the Persian fleet. The fourth child was worried that if the Persian fleet came to deliver goods to him, he would not leave in time.
, it is easy to find out that this first-class battleship has disappeared. If the Persians are cruel and leave an active first-class battleship to the island country, or simply send troops to help the island country attack the players, then
Players from island countries are in big trouble.
A military exercise can completely eliminate this possibility. Persia will inevitably pass through the southwest sea when it reaches the island country. If at this time, the Central Plains Navy fleet conducts a military exercise in the southwest and makes moves that threaten the Persian waters, the Persian navy will definitely
They didn't dare to stay. You must know that most of the Persian Empire's naval forces have been dispatched in the Persian Gulf. With the remaining strength, they have no confidence to deal with the Central Plains naval fleet.
Understanding the fourth child's plan, Zeng Yi smiled and said: "Yes, you can have a military exercise. Don't let the Persians take root in the island country!"
...
After returning to the southern military port, Zeng Yi borrowed some sailors from the Navy, piloted the Persian first-class warship, and continued northward along the coast non-stop. Finally, he arrived at Dengzhou Port the next day. The Dengzhou Navy had already received the
According to the report, he was not surprised by the sudden appearance of a Persian warship. As soon as the ship heard that it was approaching, a group of master craftsmen from the Dengzhou Naval Shipyard rushed onto the warship first.
Zeng Yi was speechless for a while when he saw those people talking about craftsmen as soon as they boarded the ship. The commander of the Dengzhou fleet who boarded the ship at the same time said with some embarrassment: "Well, Mr. Ni, these are all masters of shipbuilding. Seeing the difference
The battleships are a little excited, please forgive me!"
"Forget it, just don't let them dismantle my boat!"
"This will definitely not happen! Don't worry, it's just a research. I'll see it myself. There will definitely be no problem."
Not bothering to talk nonsense and saying a few polite words, Zeng Yi and the others rushed to the capital without any time to rest. They had basically understood the shipbuilding technology of the Persian Navy and needed to report it to the court as soon as possible.
As soon as the four of them returned to the capital, the imperial court knew the news. As soon as the four of them returned to the blacksmith shop and drank a cup of tea, several people from Shantian hurried over.
"See my lord!"
"You're welcome!"
"Lord Ni! Your Majesty has summoned us. Let's go to the palace quickly. All of you are already waiting!"
"Okay, let's go!" This time, not only Zeng Yi himself, but also the three bosses followed, especially the fourth child. The most important and advanced technology of the Persians was discovered by him personally. Without him, it would be impossible.
no.
They hurried to the palace, and as expected, all the important officials of the imperial court were already waiting for them, "Xuanwu Anhou has an audience!"
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!" Facing the little princess, Zeng Yi bowed and said.
"No need to pay tribute."
They have all met the little princess and the boss, and more than once, they have even drank the tea made by the little princess. However, this is the first time they have seen the little princess after she ascended the throne. Looking at the little princess who looks exactly the same but has a completely different aura,
The three bosses were also filled with emotion.
"Lord Ni! I have personally sneaked into Persia for a few days, and now I have come back with a Persian warship. I guess I have figured out the situation in Persia, right?" Among the ministers, an old minister stood up and said.
Zeng Yi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I have gone through many hardships and finally lived up to your Majesty's trust, and finally figured out the situation of the navy in Persia."
Upon hearing Zeng Yi's words, everyone looked at him. "Let's put it this way, the Persian navy is far more advanced than we thought, especially in terms of shipbuilding speed. Persia concentrated the shipbuilding industry together. Although it is somewhat
Danger, once injured, is a serious loss, but it also has a very big advantage. Concentrating industrial advantages can not only speed up the speed, but also reduce costs. In addition, the technology of Persian navy warships, although the Persian navy is not as good as our navy
The army is extremely large in number and its overall strength is much stronger than we imagined. The most important thing is that Persia has developed fully armored warships!"
Everyone in the front was still indifferent. After hearing Zeng Yi say the words "full armor coverage", everyone suddenly became uneasy, especially the Ministry of War and Navy generals, who all frowned.
"In this regard, the Baron will tell His Majesty that the most advanced Persian warships were personally inspected by the Baron!"
The fourth child knew that it was his turn, so he quickly stood up and introduced everyone. Just like Zeng Yi and others when they first heard about it, when these people heard that there was still a gap between Persian warships and Central Plains warships, they all relaxed.
Take a breath.
A few navy generals were gathered together, and they were still very clear-headed. "Your Majesty, Persia can develop to such an extent in such a short period of time. The court cannot despise it! It must be restricted. Otherwise, once Persia advances further, the imperial navy will not be able to do so."
What an advantage!”
Hearing this, Zeng Yi spoke again: "My lords, you don't need to worry too much. When we retreated, we poisoned the main Persian shipbuilders. Although there is nothing too great about the Persians building the current warships.
It has a big impact, but if they want to develop again, they are not so happy!"
After that, Zeng Yi reported on the island country's purchase of warships. Obviously, no one expected that things would happen by such a coincidence. They were caught up by Zhongyuan and the others, and they unexpectedly tricked the island country.
"Mr. Ni is really powerful! We sent people several times to intercept and kill the island country's mission, but failed. Unexpectedly, they were carried into the hands of Mr. Ni!" Guo Juxia said with a smile.
"Guo Juxia is promoted, we are just lucky!"
They stayed in the palace for several hours. Based on the news brought back by Zeng Yi and others, the ministers came up with some countermeasures. Facing the Persian dumpling-like shipbuilding speed, the Central Plains actually had only one way to go.
Now that the imperial court's finances are barely sufficient, it is impossible to compete with Persia based on quantity. We cannot rely on quantity and can only work hard on quality. The imperial court decided to gather the master craftsmen of several major shipyards to vigorously research and develop warships, striving to improve the original
Based on the basics, we can go further and develop more powerful battleships!
Zeng Yi has always dreamed of big guns and giant ships, and also put forward some opinions of his own, suggesting that the court should focus on ship-based weapons. After all, in this way, the original warships can be upgraded to a higher level by just changing the weapons.
There is no need to build new warships. This is the most suitable path for the current imperial court.
