Chapter 197： Redefine the class of warships

After Li Yan's narration without any extravagance, the Warring States finally understood the cause and effect.

Sengoku also couldn't understand, how could Qingzhi, who has always been favored by him and was ready to let him take over his class in the future, would do such an immature thing.

It is also very simple for him to defend Aozhi himself. Taking the naval regulations as an example, it is very inappropriate to accuse him of arresting the East China Sea Navy at the most.

But once this is done, not only the hawks headed by Akainu will not accept it, but Li Yan will also not accept it, and even all the branches of the entire navy will have ideas about the Aokiji.

That would be worth the loss.

after all...

Since the day he became a marshal, the Warring States Period has always told himself that now he is no longer a dove but a naval marshal.

And he has always done so.

Therefore, you must balance the various forces in the navy when you do things yourself, and you must not be overly partial to the doves.

"I know the matter. I will give him an order to release him on Kuzan's side. In addition, this capture does not need to be turned over to the headquarters. It will be used for the development of the East China Sea Navy, but this is the end of the matter!"

After thinking for a while, Sengoku made a decision.

To put it simply, it means that Aokiji will not be punished, even if there is no verbal criticism.

But in exchange, all the seizures of this battle belonged to Li Yan, and did not have to be turned over to the headquarters.

Li Yan was naturally not dissatisfied with such a result.

It is unrealistic to want the Sengoku to really deal with the green pheasants.

It would be better to say that the Warring States period was forced, and maybe even in the end, he might even turn around and deal with himself in order to protect the green pheasant.

It's not impossible, after all...

Aokiji is the successor he has cultivated, that is his own son!

After half an hour.

Nuoqigao took Kalifa, Nami, and a hundred sailors, and finally left the G1 branch.

Of course, the previous seizures were also brought out together.

"General Sakaski, since the matter has been resolved, then I will bring someone back."

"Well, don't forget about the warship!"

"Don't worry, as soon as I go back, I will ask Carrera to draw up quotations for different ship types!"

Nodding, Li Yan said with a smile.

This Akainu is really a warship full of brains now, and he did not forget to remind himself when he parted.

Sure enough, even Akainu, in front of the giant ship's cannon, could only kneel down and shout out true incense.

And just when Li Yan was preparing to return to the flight.

G1 branch, in the office where Aokiji is.

"Qingzhi, you are too immature. Even if you want to intercept these seizures, you shouldn't arrest Li Yan's men!"

"Marshal, do you really think I'm here for these captures?"

"What's the meaning?"

Warring States asked, and the phone bug was also dutifully interpreting the frowning expression of Warring States.

"Didn't you find out, Li Yan definitely has a secret. Look at how he has created more elite naval soldiers than the headquarters in less than a year, and even has a number of major generals, lieutenant generals and even generals. Not to mention those guns, cannons, warships, etc."

"Although Sakaski is extreme, there is no doubt that he has the justice of our navy in his heart, but Li Yan is different. I don't feel any justice in him."

"Such a person, let him be the emperor in the East China Sea, once developed by him, the consequences will be unimaginable, whether it is for our navy, or for the entire world structure!"

Aokiji's emotions are a little excited, it is a kind of fear of position.

After all, everything about Li Yan is unknown to him, even his view of justice and values.

The human nature is to like to define the unknown as a hostile existence, and the dovish character is even more so.

"Qingzhi, what you said is just speculation, and there is no evidence to support it!"

"This is the end of the matter!"

Sengoku no longer wants to continue with Aokiji on this issue.

In his opinion, although Li Yan has created cross-generational firearms, cannons and even warships, these are not concealed.

And the people under his command, the headquarters also have all the information, the origin is absolutely clean.

Not to mention Kizaru's direct disciple and Garp's grandson, who are now serving under Li Yan.

Warring States couldn't think of any reason to doubt Li Yan's loyalty to the navy.

As for what Aokiji said, in his opinion, it was more of a personal intuition.

------

ten days later.

East China Sea, Corona Island, Shipbuilding Island.

Li Yan, who returned to the East China Sea, went directly to the shipbuilding island after arranging everything, and led a group of Carrera companies to vote and Franky to hold a meeting.

There are two themes for this meeting.

One is the foreign trade of new warships, and the other is the redefinition of the class of warships.

Foreign trade is very simple. It is directly based on the current warships, and then it is divided into several levels and sold to the headquarters.

One of the basic versions, the whole ship will not use Adam's treasure wood, but is made of ordinary wood.

Of course, in doing so, the naval gun also needs to make compromises, after all, ordinary wood cannot support such a powerful naval gun.

Therefore, on the basic version of the warship, only a naval gun with a caliber of 127MM will be installed, and the price is 200 million Bailey.

The second is the advanced version, which uses Adam's treasure in part, and installs a 203MM main gun and a 127MM secondary gun, priced at 500 million Baileys.

The last one is the flagship version. The whole ship uses Adam's treasure wood. The main guns are two 280MM calibers, and the secondary guns use 155MM calibers. The price has soared to 2 billion Baileys.

Don't look at the price so exaggerated, but as long as this price list has been stated and released, no one will say that the price is too black.

After all, the price of Adam Baomu is there, and you can't even buy it with money.

As for the basic version only installed 127MM naval guns, this is naturally because ordinary wood can not withstand stronger naval guns, this can be proved by the headquarters itself, right?

Of course, Li Yan also paid attention to this foreign trade warship.

Although the caliber is placed there, they are all castrated versions. Whether it is the range or the power of the shells, there are certain restrictions.

As for how to implement such a restriction, it is up to Levine to do it.

After talking about the foreign trade version of the warship, Li Yan began to talk about today's highlight.

Reclassification of warship classes.

According to the original division of the pirate world, warships are simply divided into four types: small warships, medium warships, large warships and super warships. They are very simple and rude simply by size.

Li Yan, on the other hand, intends to use his advanced experience in his previous life to redefine it according to the purpose of warships.

First, frigates, defined as small tonnage and weak firepower, mainly perform tasks such as caravan escort, regional patrol, alert or reconnaissance, and generally do not perform long-distance missions.

2 Destroyer, with a speed that is not weaker than that of a frigate, but a lot bigger in physique. In the future, it will mainly assume the role of **** with a knife in the East China Sea Fleet, and will be dedicated to protecting battleships.

Third, cruisers are weaker than battleships in terms of firepower, but they can deal with most of the scenes, and their speed is fast. The cost is much cheaper than that of battleships. It is suitable for rapid support, deployment and certain individual combat capabilities.

Fourth, battleships, which are real giant ships and cannons, and the first-generation ironclad ships that are being built today belong to this category.

Strong firepower, thick armor, and long range.

The most important thing is that the powerful naval guns it is equipped with also pose a certain threat even to the level of the Four Emperors.

Although the battleship is very powerful, this thing is too expensive to build, and the one currently under construction has already consumed Li Yan's 500 million Bailey and 10 million merits.

Before the local steel production is mentioned, Li Yan will not start the construction of the second one. After that, he will build a batch of frigates and destroyers, plus a few cruisers.

In this way, the initial structure of the East China Sea Fleet was built.
