Three days later, at noon, Zhang Hao welcomed the returning Weihai Fleet at his home port, Changshan Port.
At this time, the Weihai Fleet looked quite miserable and aggrieved.
There were originally 4 Zhenyuan-class battleships and 12 Iron Duke-class battleships, but now two Zhenyuan-class battleships have been destroyed; and the remaining two Zhenyuan-class battleships are also very miserable, especially the flagship superstructure has been twisted and can only be demolished.
rebuild.
Speaking of which, Ma Jianliang is also a ruthless person. This guy also knows that it is difficult for his fleet to win, so he aimed almost all his main naval guns at the four best warships of the Xuanzhen Sect.
An Iron Duke-class battleship costs 60 million high-grade spiritual stones as standard; but a Zhenyuan-class battleship costs 110 million high-grade spiritual stones as standard!
And the above prices are all standard. If you want to modify it, add other capabilities, etc., the price will naturally increase!
In short, Ma Jianliang caught four Zhenyuan-class warships and beat them up severely. Two were blown up and the remaining two had to be repaired. However, the remaining warships were not unscathed. Although the Xiaoyao faction did not refine many high-end artillery shells, they still needed to be repaired.
There were more than 300 of them. The rest of the battleships were somewhat damaged.
The total repair costs of these damages are not small figures. Zhang Hao only took a glance and had an estimate in his mind - all these repairs would only cost the price of an Iron Duke-class battleship. This is still just the surface.
Damage. If important structures such as internal keels and ribs are changed, the cost of repair will probably double.
It seems that they also knew that the repair cost this time was not low, so the Xuanzhen Sect actually sent Taoist Priest Mingxu to negotiate with Zhang Hao.
After Zhang Hao saw his master, he could only say helplessly: I'll charge the cost price. However, the cost price of Dayang Group is not only the cost of materials, but also the lost working hours, etc.
After seeing off his master, Taoist Priest Mingxu, Zhang Hao did not wait to discuss the gains from the war with Lu Xuanyu before someone came to report that distinguished guests were coming, including representatives from the Dongfang Xianyin Sect, the elders of the Refining Hall, masters in the transformation stage, and Yu Songzi.
visit!
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this series of names. 'Yu Zi generation'! Zhang Hao had come into contact with Yu Yangzi of the Xian Yin Sect on Liuli Island. The Yu Zi generation of the Xian Yin Sect is equivalent to Hong Zi of the Xuan Zhen Sect.
Seniors are the core strength within the sect.
Speaking of which, among the three holy places in Fertile Continent, only the Xiaoyao Sect does not have a typewriter. Perhaps it corresponds to the word "Xiaoyao". The Xiaoyao Sect has its own Taoist name. However, the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xianyin Sect can
Information such as seniority can be determined directly through the road number.
Because Dayang Group is becoming more and more formal nowadays, Zhang Hao did not meet Yu Songzi at the Zhang family. Instead, he met with this master of the Immortal Yin Sect's transformation stage in the high-end reception room of Dayang Group's headquarters in Ninghe County.
Yu Songzi's clothes were simple, but he had a faint sense of grace and grace. Seeing Yu Songzi, Zhang Hao actually saw a bit of the leader in him - the demeanor of holding a powerful hand.
As soon as Zhang Hao finished his visit, Yu Songzi burst into laughter, "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age! About half a month ago, I received a message from my senior brother Yu Yangzi, asking me to visit the Dayang Group.
But I just happened to catch up with the "Coastal War - Battleship Showdown", so I didn't have time to visit until today.
When I saw it today, I regretted it. I should have come here earlier!
By the way, I came here by train and it was a great experience.”
The four words "Coastal War" have been published in newspapers in the past two days, and everyone widely recognized this name.
"It turns out that it was introduced by senior Yu Yangzi." The smile on Zhang Hao's face became much more natural - it was more of a formulaic smile before. There is really a difference between having acquaintances and not having acquaintances.
The two chatted for a while, starting from Liuli Island and talking about great navigation, industrialization, etc. Finally, they talked about the ongoing "Coastal War".
The current war situation is: three days ago, after the Xiaoyao faction fleet was completely annihilated, the three steel warships of the Canglan Kingdom directly bombarded the coasts and ports of the Langya Kingdom and the Southern Tang Kingdom, regardless of their own damage (it was not much anyway).
wait.
Especially to the west of the Langya Kingdom, with the cooperation of warships at sea, the legions of the Canglan Kingdom once again advanced vigorously. However, under the influence of the atmosphere of defeat, the morale of the Langya Kingdom was weakened again and again, and finally it could not stop the Canglan Kingdom.
The Tiger and Wolf Division of the Kingdom of Shaoze.
Especially in the previous naval battles, a large number of Nascent Soul Stage soldiers were killed, which directly led to the decline of military power.
The next morning, the imperial capital of Langya Kingdom fell, and the Langya Kingdom's front line was completely defeated, forcing them to retreat to the Southern Tang Kingdom.
After that, there were no miracles in the war. The Langya Kingdom was completely occupied, and the battle line finally advanced to the gate of the Southern Tang Kingdom.
For a time, the Kingdom of the Northern Tang, the Kingdom of Shaoze, and the Kingdom of Canglan besieged the Kingdom of the Southern Tang; at this time, only half of the Kingdom of the Southern Tang was left. The situation was precarious.
The Xiaoyao faction urgently ordered several countries around the Southern Tang Kingdom to send troops. But the situation was still not optimistic.
The war is proceeding too fast, especially now that the military equipment of the three countries of the Shaoze Kingdom has become almost semi-mechanized. Not to mention the other countries of the Xiaoyao Sect, not to mention that they have just been exposed to industrialization not long ago, these countries are even preparing for war in a hurry!
I was still watching the excitement of my neighbors, but I didn't want it to be my turn in a blink of an eye.
It is conceivable that the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty was also in danger.
Finally, Yusongzi said with emotion: "Although the coastal war has not completely ended, I have seen the powerful power of industry and commerce, especially the power of industry.
So, I am here today for two purposes.
First, buy steel battleships! Order three large ones, the kind that the Xuanzhen Sect was sunk by, and 10 small ones.
Second, we would like to invite Dayang Group to build a factory with us. Whether it is your past development or a turnkey project, we welcome it."
Zhang Hao looked at the other party in surprise. Not many people knew about the words 'turnkey project' now. This jade pine nut came from the east, and he actually knew this, which made Zhang Hao look at him with admiration.
I don’t know if it was me who inquired about it or the Xianyin Sect’s intelligence system?
If he found it by himself, this person is not simple. If it is the intelligence system of the Immortal Yin Sect, Zhang Hao must be careful.
However, with this thought in his mind, Zhang Hao was very excited, saying that there was no problem at all. "The shipyard is undergoing repairs recently, and it is expected to start in about ten days. According to the current situation, all the warships can be delivered before the end of the year.
In addition, Dayang Group’s current main development direction is in the fertile land of the West. So, what I mean is to provide turnkey projects.”
The turnkey project is good! Yusongzi's eyes lit up - with the turnkey project, the Xianyin Sect can get a factory of its own. If the general intention is OK, then the next step is the price issue.
Zhang Hao immediately said: "The price of the battleship should be negotiated with Senior Yuyangzi. Iron Duke level, 200 Nascent Soul Stage quotas, plus a surcharge of 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
The Zhenyuan class...we didn’t discuss it at the beginning. But the price is twice that of the Iron Duke class. There are 400 Nascent Soul Stage quotas, plus a surcharge of 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
Yu Songzi nodded, and Yu Yangzi also told him.
Zhang Hao continued: "The key project is finally turned over. This must be calculated based on the actual situation. If you want to build it at the Xianyin Sect, just the transportation cost of materials should not be a small number. Please forgive me for this.
."
Yu Songzi nodded again, and then made a request to visit various factories of Dayang Group.
Zhang Hao hesitated and agreed. However, Zhang Hao was not prepared to take him to see the core. He only took a quick look at the surroundings, including the Xuantie Factory, the machine tool production workshop, the shipyard, etc.
…………
When Zhang Hao took advantage of the influence of the coastal war to extend Dayang Group's business tentacles to the east of the fertile continent, here in the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wang Ruiyang looked gloomy!
Lao Wang wanted to scold his mother. He had finally laid the foundation in Langya Kingdom, but it was all gone. Fortunately, the craftsmen and technology were all brought out. There were also some machines. But even so, the losses were heavy.
In the end, Wang Ruiyang even blew up all his own factories, leaving nothing to the enemy.
But now that the country of the Southern Tang Dynasty was also unstable, Lao Wang had to extend his gaze to the east. He saw a country - the country of Yulin.
This country is on the southeast coast of Xiaoyao Sect, adjacent to the scope of Xianyin Sect - Lao Wang has been frightened by the situation in the west of the Fertile Continent, so he is ready to run to the east.
