”The navy is something that only the super powers can afford! The Empress Dowager is clear that the Navy is not only valuable as battleships, but also expensive as human beings! ”
”Chinese Captain, Cai Bixia's communication, Lin Zhen's gunnery... ”And then there are the hundreds of graduates and the thousands of trainees studying abroad, all of whom spent a lot of money to train them!”
”Will the money be included in the cost of the vessel? That two million silver taels did not include any training fees! ”
”The real battleship's worth is the real priceless treasure. Training that ship's worth isn't just about the cost of battleships!”
”How much coal did Zhiyuan Warship burn on the way back from the Atlantic? How many shells were used? How much did the supplies cost? ”After returning home, how much did the refurbishment of the battleship cost?”
”This account is really incalculable!” It's definitely much more expensive than a battleship! ”
”There's also the air force formed by those nine airships. It's not only able to solve the problem by buying a few airships … Should we fix the area where the airship is docked? ”
”We should be able to fix up the giant storeroom, right? Where are the maintenance workers going to train? How much food would it cost to train the soldiers? ”
”Empress Dowager …” This servant understands and will tell the empress dowager. From now on, you can directly double the budget of the new army, but don't believe the numbers on the account! ”
Stunned, everyone present was stunned. What happened to Hairy # 2? Whose is he? Who was he helping? No matter how he thought about it, this call was to help Ci An!
Cai Bixia's face revealed a hint of indistinct unhappiness. What do you mean by that... This is the price the Führer is offering to His Majesty's master and disciple. You should know what the price is for the international arms trade! ”
”Besides His Majesty, no one else can get such a low price!”
He purposely emphasized the words leader a bit, that was to remind Er Mao to not forget his roots. Why did you still help Ci An at such a crucial moment?
The Head of the Guards and the Tongzhi Emperor wanted to complete this kind of deal, why are you not helping them in the middle?
Ci An suddenly realised when he heard Hairy # 2's words, and he knew in his heart that he was right! Fu Qing had said before that Xiao Letian's army's combat strength was high and it was fed up with money!
The Xishan Camp was just a few of the Gun's cannons, the money spent was already as smooth as flowing water. The airship troops and Iron-armored battleship were all more advanced items, they would definitely consume a huge amount of money!
Thinking about that, Ci An anxiously said, ”I, Da Qing Province do not have any plans to become enemies with that country. We do not want to invade others on the outer seas and live our lives well!”
”No matter how good your weapon is, I, you don't need it … Your Majesty, you are not allowed to take it! This master, I can still do it! ”
The deal was broken just like that, Cai Bixia didn't agree to either of the two plans, she was so anxious that she scratched her head, but facing Ci An, he really could not do anything!
On one hand, their relationship was better, so Zai Chun would not fall out with Ci An, nor would he act like he was dealing with General Xie Zi Liu!
The other was to establish a country through filial piety. If this was broken, it would be hard to say if he could take charge of things himself!
”Empress Dowager …” Think about it... ”I need the navy for the Great Clear, and I need that airship as well …”
”Come on! The world is not at peace right now. Money needs to be spent on blades, there's no time to buy you big toys! I is tired, Hairy # 2, follow me over, I want to hear what happened! ”
”Zhou Daoying... Send General Cai back to rest, we'll talk about it another day! ”
