Three days later, when Akainu got Li Yan's quotation...
Even the eyeballs almost popped out.
What the hell, the cheapest 200 million baileys, even the premium version that doesn't go up, costs 500 million baileys. As for what Li Yan has experienced before, the flagship version of Li Yan's is as high as 2 billion baileys.
You must know that the naval standard warships, the kind of large-scale warships even dedicated to the slaughtering order, are only 200 million Baileys.
As a result, for the same price, you can only buy one basic version?
Who can afford this price?
So, thinking that Li Yan and the Carrera Company were hacking his own Akainu, he picked up the phone and called.
"Li Yan, what's the matter with your price?"
"General Sakaski, this is the price offered by Carrera!"
"Then you mean that the five warships of the East China Sea Fleet were purchased by you for 10 billion Baileys?"
"Of course not, where did I get so many Baileys..."
When Akainu heard this, isn't this blacking himself?
"General, you should know the value of Adam Baomu, right?"
Looking at Akainu's ugly expression simulated by the phone bug, Li Yan asked.
Adam Baomu, Akainu has naturally heard of it. Although he does not understand the shipbuilding industry, he also knows that this thing is very expensive and has no market.
"General, in fact, the reason why the premium version and the flagship version are so expensive is because of Adam's Treasure Wood!"
"After all, warships made of ordinary wood cannot withstand the huge power of the new naval guns. Take the main gun on our warship as an example. If it is installed on an ordinary warship, I am afraid that it will fire a few guns. My own warship fell apart."
"This is why the basic version of the warship only uses 127MM caliber naval guns."
"And the advanced warships use Adam's treasure wood in some key parts of the ship, so that the entire warship can withstand the recoil of a more powerful naval gun."
"But if you really want to use that 280mm terrifying naval gun, you have to use Adam's treasure wood for the whole ship!"
When dealing with his first major client, Li Yan explained patiently.
"But didn't you just say that the five warships you built didn't cost 10 billion Baileys?"
With a detailed explanation, Akainu's expression softened slightly.
However, Akainu still remembered what Li Yan said before, and immediately asked.
"General, that's because I stumbled upon a treasure in the East China Sea, which contains a huge amount of Adam's Treasure Wood, enough to build five warships!"
"If the general wants to order this kind of warship now, it can only be ordered through the Carrera company. Although they are the world's first shipbuilding company, they have the purchase channel of Adam Baomu, but this price..."
Well, Akainu understood.
That is to say, the reason why Li Yan did not spend so much money is that he provided Adam Baomu himself.
And if you want to buy it, the price of Adam Baomu will be included in it.
Speaking of which, since the end of the war in the G1 branch, Akainu has approached Sengoku, expressing that he wants to buy Li Yan's warship through Carrera.
For this idea, the Warring States period is naturally supportive.
After all, this kind of warship has been tested in actual combat and is indeed very powerful.
So let Akainu buy a few ships to try it out is completely no problem, once the effect is good, then the entire navy will gradually change its clothes.
Considering that the price of this new type of warship and new type of naval gun may not be cheap, the Warring States also directly approved five billion Bailey's funds for Akainu.
Of course, according to the idea of Sengoku.
This amount of money is enough for Akainu to replace the entire G1 branch, almost twenty warships, and Akainu also planned this.
Can result...
Not to mention changing 20 warships, if you order all the warships like Li Yan, you can only buy 2 ships for 5 billion Baileys, okay?
The psychological difference is really huge!
As a result, Akainu couldn't make a decision for a while. After replying to Li Yan and thinking about it, he directly called the phone bug to the Warring States side.
After the Warring States heard Akainu's narration, he was also stunned.
Is this warship so expensive?
When even found those officers in the navy who were responsible for the maintenance of warships and asked about it.
After this question, the whole person is not well.
Several officers made it clear that if the whole ship is really made of Adam's treasure wood, 2 billion is really not expensive, and it can even be said to be very cheap.
Sengoku, who did not believe in evil, went to the Sub-Navy Science Department to find Vega Punk, and let him see the video of the East China Sea Fleet bombarding pirates recorded by the G1 branch at that time.
Vega Punk immediately told the Warring States that, according to the degree of explosion in these pictures and the movement of those warships when they fired, ordinary warships really couldn't handle it and had to be built with special materials, and Adam Baomu was naturally The first choice, maybe even the only option.
This time, Sengoku didn't know what to say.
Although it was confirmed that Li Yan and Carrera did not deceive themselves, other problems followed.
Such a high price, do you really want to buy it?
In the end, after being unable to make up his mind for a long time, he had to find the crane and explain the matter completely.
"Warring States, I think I still have to buy it!"
"However, there is no need to change the entire navy!"
After thinking for a while, Crane said.
"The cost is expensive, but obviously, this warship can absolutely destroy our ten ordinary warships. The most important thing is that ordinary warships cannot pose a threat to those powerful pirates on the sea, but this kind of warship can !"
"According to the battle situation of the G1 branch, I even suspect that this kind of warship can form a certain threat even against the Four Emperors!"
"But obviously, if you want to make a full dress change, unless Mary Joa gives financial support, our navy simply doesn't have that many Baileys."
"Therefore, we might as well change our thinking. For the four seas and the first half of the great route, the current standard warships are enough to suppress them, so we only need to change the G1 and G5 branches of the new world."
"Another point is that it is not necessary to replace the flagship version. According to the instructions provided by Li Yan, even if it is the basic version, its 127MM naval gun can also reach a maximum range of one kilometer, which is far beyond the pirates. The current mainstream range of naval guns, coupled with the speed of fifteen knots, can also suppress pirates!"
Listening to He's analysis, Sengoku's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right, why should I be entangled in the full navy change?
Like the four seas and the first half of the great route, even if this kind of warship is not used, the navy can still suppress it.
Therefore, the only place that I really need to pay attention to is the new world, where the power of pirates and the navy is completely out of balance!
And the crane's opinion is also right, you shouldn't just think about the best, the basic version is also good.
With a range of one kilometer, coupled with a speed of fifteen knots, as long as it does not encounter the Four Emperors, it is enough to deal with any pirate group.
Even if you can't beat it, you can fly a kite, right?
Therefore, purchasing a small amount of the flagship version, and then purchasing a large amount of the basic version and a certain number of advanced versions is enough to greatly improve the combat power of the navy in the new world.
In the end, after repeated compromises between demand and price, the Warring States finally settled on a battleship purchase order.
Forty ships of the basic version, a total of 8 billion Baileys.
Ten advanced versions, totaling 5 billion Baileys.
Three flagship versions (one for each of the three generals), a total of 6 billion Baileys.
In this way, a full 19 billion super warship order...
born!
