Although they are very ambitious, the main problem that needs to be solved is Gili Gaul’s problem. If this level cannot be passed, then everything else is Imaginary.

If Gili Gaul can't attack the mainland and can only send a powerful fleet, then the chance of victory in this battle is still great, if it is broken.Wait for these warships to be bought by Neon.

The day of the return of these warships is the end. Neon is not Gili Gaul. When they are ready, their ambition is enough to mobilize close to one million troops. That is a real national war.

At this time in the neon palace

In a dark room, everyone was in a quarrel.

"Your Majesty! According to the plan sent by the "Chrysanthemum" agency, the Qing people intend to purchase four Gaulian giant ships "Marceau"-class battleships through Citiman. This is a plan put on hold by the Gaul Navy. The shipyard has been built and they will go bankrupt if they can’t sell it.”

Ito Hirobumi said to Emperor Meiji.

"Gauls are guilty with them. Even through Citigroup, they probably won't sell to them. We don't need to worry about this."

Emperor Meiji smiled faintly without telling the matter in his heart.

"But your Majesty, they have a new plan. If this plan fails, they will purchase and build five more Dingyuan within five years, so that the fleet will reach 200,000 tons. In this way, the imperial navy plan will be readjusted. "

Hirobumi Ito replied respectfully.

"Build? Are they capable of building Dingyuan? The imperial nation can only build cruisers of more than 1,000 tons. Why is the gap so big?"

Emperor Meiji frowned. This is not good news for him. It means that a huge amount of energy will continue to be built in a few years.

"Your Majesty! They bought half of the top shipyards of the Will Army, and they also purchased a lot of equipment and talents from Gaul."

Ito's blog can only explain this way.

Emperor Meiji pondered slightly, a hint of irritation flashed in his heart, and cast his eyes on the people present.

"Your Majesty! The Navy Department recommends that these warships be purchased immediately. These warships have a huge hull of 10,000 tons and even have 340mm artillery. They can be built in two years. One ship can fight two Dingyuan ships. , In two years we will become the strongest navy in Asia!"

"If these four powerful iron-clad ships can't be shot, we may need more money to buy warships of the same level when those rumors go bankrupt. This is a good opportunity. The navy will be better than the Qing Dynasty."

The Minister of the Navy Nishisang said eagerly when he saw Emperor Meiji looked over.

"Fart! Xixiang-jun, are you a pig brain? Do you know how much it costs to buy them? Thirteen million taels of silver, nearly 20 million yen! There are even huge maintenance costs in the later period." 19 Lou Literature www.19wo.com

"Even if this war reserve is used, there is a gap of 8 million between all donations. If these four huge ships are bought, we can't do anything in five years, and the empire's finances will be dragged down."

A friend from Shan County was picked out.If he buys one, he can still accept it. If they buy more, their army will eat shit in the past few years. It is impossible to launch an offensive against the southern country. For the country, getting land is also very important.

Where are the resources they need.

"But! The Qing people’s navy is really too powerful. Even if we want to move now, after they have seven or eight lines, how can we resist once the Qing people’s navy is killed? That’s a 305MM giant. Artillery, the empire’s coastal defense artillery cannot withstand it at all, and the coast will be destroyed."

"With warships, everything we spend can be taken back ten times from the mainland. Once we give up this opportunity, those warships are resold to other countries or dismantled into scrap, we will never be able to surpass the Qing navy. ."

Xixiang explained in painstaking efforts that he wanted to spare his life this time for the navy. A huge 11-thousand-ton ship, Neon’s largest battleship now is more than 3,000 tons.Even if you count a few ships that are about to be in place, they are only more than 4,000 tons.

"What we want is the mainland, relying on the army instead of the broken ships that a few Gauls don't want! With so much capital, we will miss this opportunity to join forces with Gili Gaul."

"The navy only needs to contain them and deliver supplies. The army is responsible for conquering the city."

Youpeng in Shanxian tried his best to prevent this from happening.

"According to the news from the chrysanthemum agency, Gili Gaul seems to have some problems. They may not be able to send a large number of army, but can only send the navy, so that they can win the crown at most, and it is not a big threat to their homeland!"

"But I still think it's best to buy only one such huge ship, and invest financially in the development of the country's shipbuilding industry. The people of the Qing Dynasty are now almost able to build a 7,000-ton huge ship, and the imperial nation will be pushed aside. , But we can only buy warships and they can build warships."

Hirobumi Ito is still a very good home, with a unique strategic vision and quickly discovered the problems.

Suddenly the room fell into a long period of peace, waiting for the emperor's decision.

"Now it’s too late for us to develop the shipbuilding industry. Five years later, we still can’t build Dingyuan, but they have ten Dingyuan. The gap is still getting bigger and bigger. In any case, we have to take down these four warships and gather all of them. Even if the funds move all the funds, loans."

"We won't do anything for five years. After five years of preparation, we will finally start a national war! The empire has no retreat. At that time, we must go to war under any circumstances."

Meiji finally hit the table with a punch.

"Hayi! Allegiance to your majesty!"

Everyone bent down and agreed.

In the end, Neon sold the underwear and spent nearly 18 million yen to buy these warships, renamed Kyushu, Shikoku, Hokkaido, Honshu, these giant ships will be in place in two or three years...

But when they are in place, they will not be able to start a war immediately because they have no money...
