Chapter 201： Upside Down Hill Fortress

Li Yan did not know what happened between the powers.

After watching the launch of the ironclad ship and arranging for people to go on a trial voyage with Carrera's boatmen, Li Yan called Smaller, Gross, the foreman of Luo Lan Company, and Karina, the chief financial officer of the East China Sea, to his office together. .

"Brother Smog, since the number of pirates in the East China Sea has decreased by 70% compared to the same period last year, I decided to start the next plan to completely cut off the desire of these pirates to go out to sea."

"Cut off your thoughts completely, how do you do this?"

"It's very simple, block the entrance of Upside Down Mountain on this side of the East China Sea!"

hiss...

Hearing this, Smoker took a deep breath.

It's a bold idea, and it's never been thought of in eight hundred years.

There are only two ways for the four seas to enter the great route, one is to enter through the upside-down mountain, and the other is to cross the windless belt.

For a place like a novice village, it is basically impossible for a rookie pirate to cross the windless belt.

Not to mention the non-sail power system, it is to install sea floor stones on the bottom of the boat, which is not something that these newcomers can do.

After all, Hailou stone is a strategic material in the world of pirates. Even if you have money, there may not be a channel to buy it.

As for the rookie pirates, neither money nor channels are available.

Therefore, if the entrance to the East China Sea is blocked, the entrance to the East China Sea will completely cut off the access of the novice village of the East China Sea to the great route.

In this way, the number of people who go out to sea as pirates in the East China Sea in the future will decrease in a straight line.

If you can't enter the great route, then go out to sea and be a hairy pirate?

"Look at this!"

With that said, Li Yan handed a blueprint to the three of them.

This is a small fortress blueprint that was previously rewarded by the system. It is built in a semi-circle, which is very suitable for the entrance to the Upside Down Mountain.

"Gross, I want you to give me a rough budget, materials and construction, how much Bailey is needed and how long it will take!"

"For such a fortress, it would cost 800 million baileys, and the construction period would be two months!"

Gross is a foreman who has been engaged in this industry all the year round. After only looking at it for about five minutes, he has already given a rough price.

But obviously, Li Yan was not satisfied with this price.

"No, it's too expensive, I'll give you a maximum of 300 million Bailey!"

"What, three hundred million?"

Hearing Li Yan's words, Gross's eyes widened.

You must know that your construction team is still in the one-year contract period with the 18th branch, so the quotation of 800 million just now did not even include labor costs, just material costs.

The most important thing is that even for this material cost, Gross didn't make a big splash. It was completely based on the market price. After the whole project, Luo Lan's profit will definitely not be higher than 15%.

That's it, are you saying it's too expensive?

And this bargain kills 300 million?

Are you the devil?

I have always heard of the name of Karina, the witch of the East China Sea, but I didn't expect Li Yan to be more ruthless than Karina.

"Lieutenant General Li Yan, maybe you don't know the current market navigation. According to your requirements on this drawing, this fortress needs a lot of steel, and purchasing this amount of steel will cost about 500 million Bailey. The steel market is not in a situation where prices are rising because of our large purchases.”

Gross explained patiently, and then...

"It doesn't matter, I'll provide the steel, so 300 million Bailey should be enough for you?"

"Lieutenant General, I have made a preliminary calculation for this project. It requires about 20,000 tons of steel. Are you sure you can provide it?"

"That's right!"

"Well, if Lieutenant General you can provide all the steel, then these 300 million Baileys are indeed enough!"

Seeing that Li Yan didn't seem to be joking, Gross was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said.

However, just when Smoker thought it was done...

Deeply engraved in his memory, the terrifying voice rang out.

"Wait!"

It was Karina who spoke, and the corners of Smoker's mouth twitched.

really...

This kind of thing involving a large amount of Bailey, the Witch of the East China Sea will not be silent.

"This... Senior Brother Smog, let the two professionals talk about the next thing. How about we go outside and talk about other things?"

"Well, that's true!"

The two looked at each other and completed the conversation in a serious manner, then quickly left the office, leaving only Gross shivering in front of Karina.

And when Smaller walked out of the office, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In front of Karina, the witch, he felt that the pressure was even more terrifying than facing the Sengoku Marshal.

"Brother Smog, after the construction of the Upside Down Mountain Fortress is completed, I want you to go there and serve as the base director for a while!"

"This will be a very important hurdle, let the other branch heads pass, I'm afraid there will be problems if the strength is not enough!"

"At the same time, I will give you a thousand elite seamen and three new warships!"

Hearing this, Smoker's eyes suddenly lit up.

Where to garrison is not a problem, nor how many sailors are given.

However, I seem to have heard Li Yan say just now that there will be three new types of warships?

"Lieutenant General, is that the one you just saw?"

"What are you thinking about, the amount of steel needed for one such warship is astronomical, and there will be no second ship in the short term, but after the replacement of the ironclad ships, the warships currently in service in the East China Sea First Fleet can be divided into three for you. !"

Directly glared at Smog angrily.

And three battleships...

This is a dream, please go back to your room and fall asleep before doing it well?

"That's... okay!"

"Actually, the active warships of the East China Sea First Fleet are also very good!"

Although a little disappointed, Smoker nodded and agreed.

If these words were heard by the Sengoku Fire Red Dog, Smog would have to be severely beaten.

What is it? It's not bad. The entire navy of the headquarters tightened the belts, but only purchased three ships. Even the three generals were only allocated one ship each, okay?

As a result, you just said lightly, three such warships are not bad...

Is this human?

However, Li Yan nodded in agreement Rest assured, when the steel output rises, the East China Sea Navy will sooner or later fully replace the ironclad ships! "

"Then I'll be waiting for this day!"

------

In the end, Gross also experienced the power of a witch of the East China Sea, and 300 million Bailey was directly crushed into 200 million.

Just **** the dog.

And Li Yan also started, about the comprehensive establishment of the Adventurer's Guild.

However, if you want to do all this, this level of the headquarters is definitely impossible to bypass.

Otherwise, after the adventure group entered the great route, they were killed or hunted by the headquarters as pirates, then the whole plan would be nonsense.

So, after preparing the speech, Li Yan directly picked up the phone bug...

Called the Warring States.
