Chapter 199： Li Yan, who wants to cut off his white beard

An order of 19 billion yuan and 53 warships are required to be delivered within three months. Even in the world of pirates like building blocks, it is quite stressful.

After all, there are only so many people in the Carrera East China Sea branch...

So, in desperation, Vice President Barry had to call Esbagu again.

I, Barry, come for someone again!

What, not to give people?

Your headquarters has only generated revenue of 20 billion this year, right? You see, my order in three months is 19 billion, okay?

Although Li Yan will take away a full 12 billion of the 19 billion.

After all, when the ship was built, Adam Baomu had to buy it from Li Yan, and the naval guns also had to be bought from Li Yan.

However, in any case, after the materials were purchased from Li Yan, Carrera Company only paid for labor, but it was able to get 7 billion Baileys in three months. This profit is already terrifyingly high.

You must know that although the headquarters has more than 20 billion annual revenue, if the purchase cost of procurement is excluded, the final profit may not actually be 7 billion.

It is precisely because of this that Barry is now full of confidence, and Esbagu has begun to doubt his life.

According to this momentum, do you really want to consider setting up the headquarters of Carrera in the East China Sea?

In short, under the repeated urging of Bally, in the end, two more foremen and more than 100 excellent boatmen were hired on the side of Esbagu, which greatly alleviated the problem of lack of manpower on the side of the East China Sea branch.

------

a few days later.

Li Yan brought a group of senior members of the branch to the shipbuilding island, and along with him was Smog, who was temporarily transferred to the eighteenth branch when the East China Sea Fleet supported the new world.

As soon as this guy heard that a new generation of warships will be commissioned in a few days, he stayed for a few more days, just for this moment.

After all, in the more than 20 days of the 18th branch, he had seen the huge iron lump being built on the shipbuilding island, and his curiosity had already burst.

And in a place that no one noticed, there is a person with a gloomy face, it is CP9's secret agent Kaku.

The construction of the ironclad is definitely a big event. When the ironclad project officially started more than two months ago, Kaku was ready to report this matter, but the problem is...

When he used the top-secret phone bug to contact Spandam, he instantly forgot what he wanted to report, and after hanging up the phone bug, he suddenly remembered...

As a result, Kaku repeatedly called the phone bug more than ten times, then hung up, hung up and then dialed in the process of hanging up, so that every time Spandam answered the phone, he would call Kaku hard. scold.

Kaku, who didn't understand what was going on, chose to write down the matter and pass it on, but when he picked up the pen, he encountered the same situation as the phone bug.

In the end, after three days of tossing and trying countless ways...

Kaku gave up.

It's too evil, it's just a dog!

Although he still didn't understand what the situation was, Kaku knew that it must have something to do with Li Yan. Could it be that Li Yan ate some special devil fruit that could control other people from leaking secrets?

For people in this world, no matter what unreasonable things they encounter, it is right to push them to the Devil Fruit!

Regardless of Kaku, who doubted his life, Li Yan and others were in the dock at the moment, looking at the huge battleship that had not yet launched.

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

This ship is too big!

You must know that the Eighteenth Branch also has a super warship. Li Yan used Luffy's business to get it through Garp.

However, the super warship is still so small in front of the steel behemoth in front of it, even only half its size.

Of course, in terms of the size of a single round, although the super warship is smaller than this ironclad ship, it is not only half the size. The reason is that the hulls of those sailing ships in the Navy are generally short, while the hull of this ironclad ship is very slender. .

Therefore, in terms of length, it is indeed only half the size.

Another thing that surprised everyone was that although the warships had no sails, the people from the Eighteenth Branch were not surprised. After all, the five warships of the East China Sea First Fleet had no sails.

Even without the sails, there are still two huge rollers on both sides of the warship, which are used to provide forward power for the warship.

But in front of the ironclad ship, everyone did not find the existence of the roller at all.

So, without sails and no rollers, what is the driving force behind this boat?

Unlike the others, Nami saw some tricks.

"Li Yan, the three things under the stern are used to push the warship forward, right?"

"Yes, the rapid rotation of four specially shaped blades can provide very powerful power for the warship!"

Pointing to the three propellers at the stern, Li Yan said with a smile.

Speaking of it, it's really not easy to make this thing. Even if you know the principle, the industrial system of the pirate world really can't make a qualified product, so that you have tried dozens of times before, but in the end. both failed.

Either the hardness is unqualified, or the shape is unqualified.

Li Yan, who thought he could only temporarily abandon the propeller and continue to use the roller, suddenly remembered.

Why do you have to be entangled in industry, this is the world of pirates!

So, Li Yan, who was suddenly enlightened, directly found Yi Xiao and Nuo Qi Gao, and let them both participate in the project of the Ironclad...

With the addition of these two powerful Devil Fruit abilities, many of the problems originally encountered during the construction process were quickly resolved.

At this time, Li Yan was even thinking that if he had a devil fruit capable user with flame-related abilities, then electricity + fire + gravity could definitely solve more problems.

Speaking of which, according to the timeline of the pirate world, Ace should have challenged Whitebeard in 1519, and finally thought that Whitebeard joined him as his father.

That being said, if UU Reading wants to grab Ace now, there should be time...

Li Yan, who was thinking about fire-related abilities, inadvertently thought of Ace, and was very moved.

After all, if Ace didn't join the Whitebeard and White Thieves, the old man would not know Ace's secret, and if Blackbeard didn't know, then the Navy wouldn't know it in the end.

In this way, even if you take Ace by yourself, there will be no trouble.

More importantly, if Luffy is dealt with, if Ace is dealt with again, then Garp will have to owe him a lifetime of love.

In the headquarters, with his teacher Zefa present, Akainu speaks for himself, and Crane will not embarrass himself because of Taotu. If there is one more Garp...

Then one's personal connections in the headquarters can be said to be a bull to the sky.

The key is that after having such a network of contacts, a series of plans for the future in my mind...

It's easier to achieve!
