Magic Underachiever

Anne didn't expect her father to persuade the emperor to build a heavy arsenal in Saroyan, which was simply putting the Whitehead family on the grill.

Being the governor of Marcellus was already treading on thin ice. Anne, who was in charge of intelligence, knew what rumors about her father were in the empire. Taking the initiative to build a heavy arsenal in the Marcellus area was enough for the emperor to kill Marquis Whitehead.

Anne asked worriedly: "How could His Majesty agree to build a heavy arsenal in Saroyan? This... This is simply stabbing a knife in his heart. Father... You, you are too risky."

"It is His Majesty who is willing to take risks!" The Marquis' tone was calm, and it was completely impossible to see the impact of this incident on him. He said to Anne: "Your Majesty is a far-sighted leader. He knows what changes are happening in the world and knows that if this large fleet is not built, the empire will lose the opportunity to go out of the ocean for a long time in the future.

There is no way to block the influence of the Eastern countries on Marcellus. This enclave will always be a headache for every emperor of the empire.

Your Majesty wants to do something that no emperor of the empire has done in the past, so he is willing to take some risks. Try.

With this arsenal, not only can the problem of weapons for the navy fleet be solved, but it will also greatly save the empire's military expenses for maintaining provincial garrisons. And it will show everyone the empire's attitude that the empire will fight to build a navy fleet.

This can effectively suppress the arrogance of the Eastern countries.

As for the risk I took? Your Majesty is willing to take risks for the fate of the country, so why shouldn't I accompany your Majesty?

Anne, don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing, you just need to do your own thing. "

"Yes, father."

No matter what the real purpose of the Marquis is, Anne can't interfere now, and she has no ability to change her father's mind... She can only pray that things are not what she thinks.

The only thing Anne can do is to take precautions and make the worst plan. When the family really has to face a catastrophe, she can save most of the family members... some of the family members.

Watching Anne leave the Governor's Mansion with worry, Marquis Whitehead sat by the window and stared at the tall buildings of Saroyan.

Whether this matter is right or wrong, since you have chosen it, you have to go on!

Daliang didn't know what was happening in the Star Alliance, nor what kind of undercurrents were surging in the Vlomink Empire. He was doing his own thing according to his plan, preparing to participate in the bidding for the purchase of the Imperial Navy's large fleet.

The interference of the Eastern countries delayed the bidding for nearly a month. Daliang also used this time to fine-tune the light frigate he built, so that it didn't look so... rough.

But even in its final "complete form", this frigate still looked so ugly. Especially when this strange-looking warship arrived at the Imperial Navy's naval port, among all kinds of majestic traditional warships... its low and flat hull and bloated rubber skirt like a lifebuoy made it look like an ugly duckling among a group of swans.

"A lifebuoy is installed around the battleship. Is the purpose of this battleship to mock the Fleming Empire Navy? Which shipyard produced this... ship, it's so vivid.

I think this is the battleship that the Fleming Navy needs. I bet a penny that this ship wrapped in a lifebuoy will definitely eliminate us all and be selected by the Fleming Empire Navy.

Hahahaha..."

A representative of a shipyard who came to participate in the bidding pointed at the light frigate of the Black Fire Company and ridiculed it, which also attracted the ridicule of everyone who saw the ship.

The laughter of the shipbuilding experts made the newly formed Imperial Navy feel ashamed of being ridiculed. They also wanted to drive this ironic ship out of the naval port, but this was the battleship sent by the Black Fire Company to participate in the bidding.

Magic potential activation potion, "returning magic" drink, and the newly built Saroyan First Steel Plant... Although the Black Fire Company did not publicly sign any privilege agreement with the Empire, its privileges are tacitly existed.

Therefore, this "battleship" with a strange shape, rough edges everywhere, and even an empty deck, and no weapons installed, just drove in slowly and openly.

Today, the Flemish Navy will definitely become a laughing stock in the world.

On the temporary stands built on the naval port dock, Marcellus dignitaries, Saroyan celebrities, and Imperial Navy officials filled the main stand with 300 seats. On the stands on both sides are representatives of shipyards from all over the world. Some of them brought sample ships and some brought design drawings. When the bidding begins, they will introduce their own warships to the officials of the Flemish Empire Navy in order.

The warships moored on the dock are also dazzling, most of which are light frigates, torpedo boats, minelayers, minesweepers, anti-submarine speedboats, submarines, landing craft...

As for larger warships, no shipyard will build sample ships before receiving the deposit, and these large warships are still on the drawings.

From the stands, the "battleship" that Blackfire Company used for bidding was even more eye-catching.

At this time, Marquis Whitehead's mood was indescribable. He thought that he had a very strong psychological pressure tolerance, but at this moment he always had the urge to send someone to sink the "battleship" with a lifebuoy. Listening to the whispers around and the pointing and criticizing of the battleship, the Marquis felt that he had lost face today.

Everyone knew that the Whitehead family invested in Blackfire Company to build a steel plant; they knew that the Whitehead family was the general agent of the magic potential activation potion and magic recovery drink produced by Blackfire Company in Flormink. They knew that Blackfire Company was able to bring such a warship into the Imperial Navy Port because of their connections.

The Marquis had tried his best to imagine how bad the warship Young Master Liang would give him, but he did not expect it to be so bad that it would break his bottom line. He had already felt the murderous gaze of the Imperial Navy Minister beside him.

"Marshal Hopkins." Marquis Whitehead calmly said to the Minister of the Navy: "Although I persuaded His Majesty to continue building a large naval fleet, His Majesty still has certain concerns.

Looking at the attitudes of the Eastern countries, it seems that there is really a naval battle waiting for us. If the navy wants to continue to add large warships, or even main battleships, it must use the warships tendered this time to prove that the Imperial Navy has the ability to defend the coast."

Speaking of the difficulties faced by the navy, Marshal Hopkins said: "Our navy is training in the inner lake, and I don't know how badly they will perform after boarding the ocean warships. The best weapon for coastal defense is the submarine, but we have no one who can drive that thing.

I hope that this time we can purchase sufficiently advanced light surface warships to defend the Saroyan Sea, and I will be very satisfied."
