Li Bao continued to answer: "The top speed on the ocean current at the time of the sea trial was 12 knots, which was nearly twice as fast as the previous battleship. In terms of endurance, it could sail 4,500 nautical miles at a speed of 8 knots (this world One nautical mile is equal to two kilometers)."

After answering Yang Song’s question, Li Bao still sighed: “The carrying capacity of this warship is also really amazing. In addition to a coal storage dedicated to loading, it can also carry more than 1,800 tons of materials. , The self-sustainability has been enough for ten days."

Although Yang Song knew a little about this before, it was only on the drawing. Now he is very satisfied after seeing the real thing.

And listening to Li Bao's words, ten days of self-sustainment is enough to set off from Ninghai City to Bingxue Island three round trips, which is completely enough.

"Well, very good." Yang Song finally turned around, looking at all the people present and looking at him, could not help feeling that his previous behavior was a bit indecent.

However, he has been in power for so many years enough to deal with these small problems, Yang Song took a deep breath, and then preached loudly to everyone:

"My Daxia is here to add another weapon. Everyone present has contributed a lot. I hope you will continue to work hard, and everyone will contribute to the prosperity of Daxia..."

After some encouragement, Yang Song accompanied everyone on board the battleship and browsed. While listening to an officer's detailed explanation of the battleship, he asked Li Bao behind him: "Li Bao, it's been so long, the two navy fleets Has the organization been compiled?"

Li Bao replied: "Your Majesty Qi, the minister has already compiled it."

Yang Song walked ahead, without turning his head, he ordered: "Tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Bao clasped his fists and replied: "According to the previous plan, the first fleet is under the command of General Zhao Tao and is responsible for sea battles. Therefore, the minister is prepared to be the first after he has learned about these three new warships The fleet consists of five battleships, five cruisers, 20 destroyers and frigates, and five supply ships."

"The Second Fleet is under the command of General Xiangchen for amphibious operations. There is a great demand for ground support and offensive. Therefore, the minister has assigned three battleships, three cruisers, and 15 destroyers to the Second Fleet. Ships, fifteen transport and supply ships."

After Yang Song heard of Li Bao’s organization, he calculated it secretly. The two fleets together would have eight battleships, eight cruisers, and thirty-five destroyers, which is more than what the previous fleet had. Warships at all levels need to be more on board.

In the past, there were only six sailing battleships, large and small, but now the first fleet alone will have five, not to mention the same number of cruisers and more destroyers.

If he agrees to Li Bao’s establishment now, Yang Song can imagine how ugly Zhang Juzheng’s old face, who learned of the incident after returning to Zhongjing, would be ugly--Yang Song doesn’t believe that the counterfeiting of these new-style warships will be cheaper there. !

"Is this number a bit too much? The battleships are not army artillery, and the counterfeiting of these battleships must be expensive, right?" Yang Song looked at Li Bao with some embarrassment, wanting the other party to consider it.

Li Bao became anxious when he heard this, and immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the account is not calculated like that. The navy's battleship is not the army's artillery, but his role is much more than that of the artillery."

"Moreover, the pressure on coastal defense in Daxia has always been great. Before, the ice kingdom lost a batch of ships. Now the navy is waiting for the ships to use."

Li Baosheng was afraid that Yang Song would abolish it, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty also knows how long the coastline of Daxia is. The number of these ships is still the most streamlined, and there is no way to reduce it anymore."

"Isn't it all right before?" Yang Song knew very well about Xia Guo's maritime threat, so he asked doubtfully: "Aren't the two countries with coastlines in the north of Daxia under our control? What's the pressure?"

"Your Majesty!" If another person said this, Li Bao would have thought of giving the other two punches, but it was Yang Song, the emperor who asked this question.

Reluctantly, Li Bao could only preach patiently: "Didn’t your Majesty forget? My Daxia can have the present situation in the north, thanks to the strong combat power of the naval fleet. If the combat power is not enough, how can I be deterred? Foreign barbarian, in order to maintain my Daxia's overseas interests?"

Regarding Li Bao's bitterness, Yang Song is not ignorant of these principles, but the main development direction of the current Xia State is in terms of people's livelihood, and there is no excess funds for the construction of maritime military forces.

Before the development of new-style warships, Yang Song was more focused on replacing the existing "bad" warships. Even if the navy was divided into two, it was also to consolidate the central court's control over the navy.

In Yang Song's vision, Li Bao's organization was to allocate warships and combat power more reasonably. How did he know that Li Bao's organization had seriously exceeded his expectations now, which made Yang Song a little bit of trouble.

"Ahem~!" Yang Song was a little choked by Li Bao's words, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

"Bold! Hugh is rude! General Li Bao, pay attention to your identity!" Wang Wei couldn't stand it anymore. He saw Li Bao collided against Yang Song so many times, he immediately raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, and only had to pull out his knife. Cut the opponent.

After Li Baojing and Wang Wei, the Jinyiwei commander, made a violent shout, it was discovered that he was a bit reckless because he was too worried about the navy ship, so he immediately clasped his fists to apologize: "The minister is convicted."

"Hey~" Yang Song waved his hand~www.novelmtl.com~ and said to Wang Wei: "General Li Bao's heart to my Daxia coastal defense, I still know, and I can understand the slightest rudeness."

After finishing speaking, Yang Song personally helped Li Bao, who was still bowing, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "General Li Bao, let's not take it as an example!"

"Your Majesty Longen!" Li Bao knew that Yang Song was a little dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was taking credit for being proud, but he had this idea, but he was the one who was rude.

Yang Song has not been him for decades now. After being in a high position for decades, he still has a bit of experience in Yuxia Zhidao, and he knows how to do certain things.

After this time, Yang Song put his mind back on the naval affairs in front of him. He pondered for a while, and said frankly to Li Bao: "Li Bao, you have to know that the annual military expenditure is only so much. Let me spend it all at once. It's impossible for so much money to come."

Hearing what Yang Song said, Li Bao knew why Yang Song was so reluctant to set up his organization before. It was a matter of money for a long time!

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that Yang Song had misunderstood Li Bao's meaning. If he had known this, why did he suffer this "torture".

Although there was a bit of a bitter smile in his heart, Li Bao still said in detail: "Your Majesty, the establishment of ministers is not an effort at one stroke. Naval warships can be used at once, and the establishment of ministers can be improved year by year."

"Say it early!" Yang Song secretly said, if so, why bother for so long, as long as he didn't spend so much money immediately, otherwise he would have agreed to Li Bao's organization, but the sea power is strong enough. Okay.

"So, I agree to your organization in principle." Yang Song nodded and said, "I believe that Daxia's navy can still persist."

"Your Majesty is wise!" At this moment, what can Li Bao say?
