Start with an Archangel

In the air battle, Shu Xiao, who received reinforcements, was able to repel the lord's air troops.

The Archangel cannot be used for the time being. If you want to defeat the lord's combined fleet, you still need to start with a naval battle.

Now the Yunxiao Fleet and the Judgment Fleet have been eliminated. So if we want to fight a naval battle, we need to quickly rebuild these two fleets.

Private chat with Xu Man: "How is the fighting situation there?"

"The lord's combined fleet is basically attacking your Judgment Legion. It seems that they want to defeat you first. You have to be careful. I think they should have tactics against you and the Archangel. As for me, it's pretty easy. , they can’t get ashore, and I can’t get out without a boat.”

"How many hostile warships are there on the sea now?"

"The only ones attacking me are a dozen or so two-masted merchant ships carrying air units. All their warships are with you, a total of 80 single-masted warships, two two-masted warships, and one three-masted warship. Although our fleet is finished, But it also caused them a lot of damage.”

Daliang took out his telescope and looked at the sea. Most of the lord's fleet was outside the bay port. Only a small number of warships entered the port and they did not dare to get too close.

Daliang said to Xu Man: "Since the other party has an ambush, my archangel cannot take off for the time being. This battle still needs to be resolved on the sea."

"But we don't have a ship. Currently, the alliance only has ten drawings of single-masted battleships. I have commissioned the Pudong Fleet Shipyard to build them, but they are still too few to fight against the lord's combined fleet. I am currently looking for them from the market. We will collect all the shipbuilding drawings and hope to build a sizable fleet as soon as possible." Without a ship, Xu Man was helpless.

Daliang looked at the 199 single-masted battleship drawings in his package and said to Xu Man: "I will take care of the ship matter. You can count the players in the alliance who have navigation skills."

"Okay, as many ships as you can deal with, I'll go to the staff office to formulate tactics first."

"Single-masted battleship 200+"

"kao" Xu Man couldn't help but cursed. Such a deceptive number came out of Daliang's mouth, so no one could doubt it at all!

"With more than 200 single-masted battleships, not a single one of this joint fleet of lords riding on the head of the College Alliance can escape."

"I'll borrow a few more big ships from the Pudong fleet."

"Have fun! Once your battleships are in place, we will have a big fight in the Shangjiang waters."

In the northern sky, the Silver Pegasus Knight and the Pegasus Knight were coming, and Shu Xiao ordered Obit to go over and receive them.

The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the Judgment Legion, and the Lord's air forces began to shrink, but they did not retreat immediately, and continued to maintain contact with the Judgment Legion to attract the appearance of the Archangel.

Daliang asked Julian to guard the Judgment Legion station. After planting the legion assembly flag in the station, he returned to the city and went up the river and ran to the Pudong Fleet Naval Port.

On the way, I contacted Boss Jin: "Brother Jin, last time you said you had drawings of a single-masted battleship in your hand. How many are there?"

Boss Jin said: "Where have you been these past few days? The rivers and seas have become a mess, and you haven't even shown your face. Now that the fleet is gone, why do you think of building ships? I have twenty-three drawings of single-masted battleships. And a blueprint of a brigantine battleship, I’ll leave them with you.”

"Thank you so much, Brother Jin. Hurry, give it all to me. I will negotiate a big deal with you after this battle is over."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Brother Daliang's business is my favorite business. There has never been a small business."

Obtaining a batch of shipbuilding drawings from Boss Jin, the drawings of a two-masted battleship were an unexpected gain.

Taking out the drawings from the mailbox, Daliang also came to Pudong Military Port.

Finding the person in charge of the naval port shipyard, Daliang asked: "I want to order a batch of single-masted warships. How many free shipbuilding spaces do you have here?"

"The fleet overhaul has been completed, and most of the shipbuilding slots are now idle. If we are producing small ships such as single-masted battleships, we can provide about 40 of them."

"More than 40 shipbuilding positions are too few."

"If you are in a hurry to build a ship, we can free up 60 shipbuilding slots for you tomorrow."

Although this production capacity was already very large, it still could not meet Da Liang's needs. He asked again: "How long does it take to build a single-masted warship."

"Two days in the construction period of a sloop."

"It's too slow. Can you go faster?"

"It's okay to go faster. If the Viscount is willing to pay double the shipbuilding cost, we can compress the construction period of the single-masted battleship to one day."

Produced 100+ single-masted warships in two days.

The cost for Daliang to build a single-masted battleship in the Pudong fleet is 4,000 gold coins. If doubled, it would be 8,000 gold coins. 100 cannon fodder single-masted battleships would cost 800,000 gold coins.

The navy is really not for normal people.

"It's built." Daliang took out 110 single-masted battleship drawings and one double-masted battleship drawing, and gave them to the person in charge of the shipyard together with 1 million gold coins: "Two days later, no matter what method you use, I will need these ships. See."

110 single-masted battleships. The person in charge calculated the production capacity that the shipyard could still develop and said: "No problem, Lord Viscount, I will deliver these battleships on time."

After leaving the Pudong Fleet Naval Port, Daliang went straight to the Chongming Fleet.

The size of the Chongming fleet is not weaker than that of the Pudong fleet, and the production capacity of the shipyard there should be comparable to that of the Pudong fleet.

The difference is the price of shipbuilding.

Daliang does not have the same discounts for producing warships at the Chongming Military Port Shipyard as the Pudong Military Port Shipyard.

The cost of building a single-masted battleship is 10,000 gold, and speeding up production is 20,000 gold.

If 110 single-masted battleships were to be produced, 2.2 million gold would be needed.

After hearing this quotation, Daliang felt his hands trembling.

According to the current price of gold...

Can't calculate, can't think.

Made! Money should be spent where it should be spent, and there is no way to fight without spending money.

Besides... all the money spent is the alliance's money.

Hand over the ship plan and the gold coins.

"If you don't speed up, just follow the normal shipbuilding speed. 50 single-masted battleships, 500,000 gold coins. I must see all the battleships in two days."

Such a large business made the person in charge of the Chongming Military Port Shipyard smile. He took the shipbuilding drawings, put away the gold coins, and repeatedly assured: "Don't worry, Lord Viscount, the 50 single-masted warships will be delivered on time."

After leaving Chongming Military Port, Daliang flew directly to Baoshan Military Port across the river.

Although the Baoshan Military Port Shipyard is smaller in scale, there is absolutely no problem in building single-masted warships.

The same is not discounted.

After ordering 30 single-masted warships at Baoshan Military Port, Daliang went to Nanhui Military Port Shipyard.

300,000 gold coins will be used to order 30 more single-masted battleships.

In this way, the shipyards in the entire Shangjiang area started working at full capacity to build warships for Da Liang.

After going around in a circle, Daliang returned to the Pudong Naval Port. Sidney had led the Blackfire Fleet to complete the preparations for the war.

The giant frost dragon Astro also came over from Feichen Island.

"The Blackfire Fleet left the port, flew the flag of the Pudong Fleet, and was on standby at sea. The 'Skeleton Warrior' speeded up to join us."

The Black Fire Fleet, which had one three-masted warship and five two-masted warships as its main force, slowly left the Pudong Military Port.
