When Jiang Shang talked about the revocation of the government, Ouyang Wei looked around and said: "So, let's discuss it and change the Pacific Fleet."

The ministers of civil and military on both sides listened and looked at each other, and there was a glimmer of sparks in their eyes.

Regarding this issue, the Civil Service Group has great differences with the military. Until the meeting, the two sides still did not reach a consensus.

The cabinet’s opinion is that with the unlocking of the second industrial revolutionary technology tree, the empire should focus on the long-term and reshape the imperial navy, and should not rush to launch a large number of ironclad ships.

On the basis of the armored ship, professional subdivision will be carried out to form a battleship with the main battleship, a cruiser that is responsible for detecting patrols with the ocean, a destroyer for warning, **** and mine, a frigate for **** of ships, and a ship such as a submarine. New fleet preparation.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is to reshape the Imperial Navy.

But it takes a long time to change not only the fleet but also the navy. They have to retrain and become familiar with the new warships. In the future, apart from the Marine Corps, there is basically no possibility of close combat.

It is conservatively estimated that even if the empire concentrates resources, it will take a year and a half, or even two years, to prioritize the transformation of the Pacific Fleet. This is the result of Gaia's ambiguous treatment of industrial construction.

The advantage is that while reducing blind construction, the moment the Pacific Fleet is formed, it is not only the same as the night fleet, but it can once again form a repression of strength and regain the sea power.

Jiang Shang is more clearly saying, "With the industrial revolution science and technology tree unlocked, the global dynasty is on the same starting line, the empire wants to maintain the existing maritime hegemony, it must have the courage to cure the bones."

“Get ahead of this step early and get ahead one step ahead.”

The military naturally couldn't wait. After being crushed by the night fleet, they wanted to get back to the scene immediately. It was recommended to invest a lot of resources to build six to eight ironclad ships in a short period of time.

Navy Commander Zheng He said: "The loss of the Pacific Sea power may trigger a chain reaction, pose a challenge to the empire's global maritime hegemony, and a major setback to global trade."

“Without trade support, how come industrialization?” Zheng He asked.

The two sides hold the same word and no one can convince anyone.

Seeing that the two sides are deadlocked, South Xinjiang has suddenly stood up and said: "The construction speed of the ironclad ship is mainly limited by the level of industrialization of the empire. My suggestion is that the empire can concentrate resources while fully spreading industrialization. Give priority to the development of some cities and walk in the forefront of industrialization."

“For example, in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, the court can be listed as a priority development. This avoids blind construction and shortens the formation time of the Pacific fleet, achieving a balance between the two.”

The suggestion of Bai Hua, let Ouyang Yan shine.

In fact, the demand for land in industrialization is not high. Otherwise, the British Empire in history will not conquer the world with only three islands.

Including Dongpu and Goryeo, they are typical representatives of the country.

Instead of blindly spreading industrialization throughout the empire, it is better to concentrate on power, prioritize the development of coastal cities, form industrial clusters, and concentrate on doing big things.

"This proposal is feasible." Ouyang Yu said, "The cabinet can be studied, and the city of Shencheng in the Yangtze Delta and Zhenhai City in the Pearl River Delta are the first priority industrialized cities."

"The priority sequence can even be higher than the capital."

When the words came out, the audience was shocked.

Jiang Shang replied: "Your Majesty, is this not to shake the status of the capital of the capital?"

Ouyang Yu is a smile. "I have never said that to maintain the status of the capital of the capital, as an imperial capital, the capital must be a political center and a cultural center, but it is not necessary to be an economic center."

"With the surge of industrialization, the geographical location of the capital has also decided that it is difficult to shoulder the burden of the Imperial Economic Center. Forcing the development of the capital will only result in waste of resources."

The ministers here listened, thoughtfully.

Historically, political centers and economic centers, which belong to different cities, are really numerous, not a strange phenomenon.

Inspired by white birch, Ouyang Yu said: "Shencheng and Zhenhaicheng, as the first sequence. In addition, Edo, Busan, Binhai, Haijin, Jiaodong, Zhoushan, Quanzhou, Yinan and the southern Lion City, These coastal towns can be used as a second sequence to prioritize industrialization."

“Inland Huining, Kyoto, Luoyang, Xianyang, Chengdu, Fuyang, Jianye and Dali can be used as the third sequence. At the same time, in southern Xinjiang and Africa, one or two cities can be given priority, as appropriate.”

Ouyang Yu’s remarks portrayed a new blueprint for the industrialization of the Empire today.

With the advancement of industrialization, the fate of the city, and even the province, it is about to usher in a new reshuffle, like Shencheng, which was only a prefecture. Now it has to jump up and compete with Wangcheng Jianye in the province.

The future may even surpass Jianye and become the new economic center of the empire.

In the second series of cities, two-thirds of them are unrecognized cities. In the next few years, they will quickly take off through the wave of industrialization and become the new jewel of the empire.

The development of the new city will also become a new growth point for the imperial economy.

In order to appease the military, Ouyang Wei made a decision on the spot. "In the construction of Shencheng, we will build a brand-new, world-class shipyard in Shencheng, called Jiangnan Shipyard, independent of [Huaxia Shipbuilding Group], directly Assigned to the Asset Management Administration."

"Before the end of the year, the Pacific Fleet must complete the dressup." Ouyang Yu was ordered to die.

In this way, the military generals have a slightly slower look. They are not really without foresight. They are only for the glory of the military and cannot bear the humiliation of being defeated by the enemy.

Such humiliation, the Daxia Army has not tasted it for a long time.

The cabinet has not said anything else. Under the circumstances that industrialization is not fully rolled out, the development of coastal cities will be concentrated, and resource allocation will be much easier.

One year is enough.

"Gaya's eight years, the empire's ocean trade with South America, is afraid to be affected." Jiang Shangdao.

This reminded Ouyang Yi, "The request for the arms trade of the Indian Empire, the meaning of the arrogance, is the arquebus and artillery that eliminated the empire, sold them to them in full. What do you think?"

"feasible."

Du Ruzhen is in charge of the Privy Council. Naturally, he has the most say. "The data of the Privy Council's inventory is that there are over 500,000 arquebuses in the warehouses, and there are more than a thousand artillery pieces. The GT is not knowing how to dispose of them. It is idle in the warehouse. The maintenance cost alone is not cheap. If you sell it, you can do both."

It is conservatively estimated that this group of arms can sell at least 12 million gold coins.

Ouyang Yu nodded with satisfaction. "Take the time, take the battle of Hawaii is not over yet, and the route is unblocked~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to transport this batch of arms to South America. In addition, the transaction with the Indian Empire, half of the gold coin payment The other half is converted into grain and all hoarded in Ecuador."

"Understand!" Du Ruxin took the heart.

A grain of six million gold coins is enough to support the annual consumption of grain in the American theater.

"In addition, through this opportunity, a number of military factories were built in Ecuador, especially for the production of bullets and shells. Before the Indian Empire established an industrial system, it could make a fortune." Ouyang Yu told me.

Du Ruqi nodded and had a deep understanding of his "greed".

"and also,"

Ouyang’s intentions are still unfinished. “Try them and see if you have any plans to buy a warship. Those knocked down ship warships can sell a part, and all the rest will be converted into supply ships.”

Du Ruyi wrote down one by one.

Look at the situation, your majesty is to take the opportunity to squeeze the Indian Empire's vault.

Du Ruqi is a bit pitiful for the Indian Empire. Even if they win the war with the Spanish dynasty, they are afraid of being badly hurt. Can they stop the expansion of the empire in South America at that time?

With Du Ruyi’s understanding of His Majesty, although he agreed to the Indian Empire’s request for arms procurement, he sold all the weapons that were eliminated. The money was secondary. The real intention of His Majesty was that he still wanted to let the two countries fight and continue to delay this. To maintain an unbeaten situation.

If the Indian Empire succeeded in resolving the Argentine region and freed up the Indian Empire, could it allow Daxia to expand in South America?

So for the empire, this is the best result.

I want to come to the Indian Empire several times, "I don't know how to be funny", I have let my Majesty, quietly draw it out from the alliance of allies, in the future, can only be regarded as a partner.

Even in South American affairs, it may become an opponent.
