Chapter 370 The First Phase of the Construction Plan of the Navy

"This……"

Knowing that the treasury reserves, which had always been incomparably thick in my impression, only had half a million gold left at this time, Ying Ji's body trembled, and she suddenly felt dark in front of her eyes.

You must know that when the statistics and taxation and other series of imperial income were collected at the beginning of this year, Ying Ji clearly remembered that Shang Jun and Wei Ran were full of confidence at that time, and they reported to themselves that the total income of the imperial treasury reached five or six this year. A million-dollar scene.

But I didn't expect that a series of empire building plans were really expensive, and unknowingly, eighty-nine-tenths of the national treasury had been consumed.

You must know that it was golden gold, and more than five million gold was gone all at once, which made Ying Ji, who was originally a businessman, not heartbroken?

But Ying Ji also understands that if you are not a home, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Now the various plans and construction of the empire are steadily advancing, and none of them can be stopped, so they can only throw money.

Not enough money here, throw money, where there is not enough money, throw money.

In short, it is a sentence, throw money, throw that kind of death!

Although the reason is clear, Ying Ji is still heartbroken.

Originally, Ying Ji thought that he was a poor ghost in front of the system, but he didn't expect that he was still a poor ghost in reality, which was really helpless.

Don't think that the imperial treasury still stores the legacy of the Daqin generations.

Ying Ji can responsibly say that it is impossible.

You must know that in the period of King Wu, although the military strength has developed, but the people's livelihood is not good, the treasury is empty, it is simply beyond the means.

And the reason for all this has to be investigated in Yingji's cheap father, Qin Huiwen King Yingsi.

During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, he attacked the two countries of Bashu, Chu, and Sanjin. The battles continued one after another.

After years of constant wars, Ying Si had already lost all the family wealth that had been handed down from the period of Xiaogong.

Therefore, the financial situation of the imperial treasury is now in dire straits and the financial resources are empty.

...

"As the Minister of the Navy said, the construction of the navy cannot be delayed, and no one who is poor can lack the navy. Even if it is to be done for 10,000 years, we will do our best to build the navy."

Above the court, Ying Ji said solemnly, with an unquestionable tone in his tone.

Ying Ji came from modern society, and clearly knew that most of the humiliations in China were caused by not having a strong navy to escort him.

Qiang Qin has passed away, Han and Tang Dynasties are like a dream, Jiawu lamentations, the empire sets the sun!

Therefore, Ying Ji's heart is naturally full of feelings for a giant ship and cannon galloping across the ocean.

I also understand the importance of the navy to a country near the sea, and it is absolutely the top priority.

"Even the small city-state of Athens has a strong navy, so how can the empire fall behind?"

Bismarck didn't know that what he just said, coupled with the current financial distress of the empire, made Ying Ji feel a sense of competition between civilizations.

"But Your Majesty, the treasury of the Empire..."

"Stop talking!"

At this time, Wei Ran wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Ying Ji raising her hand.

"The two prime ministers, according to my will, transfer 500,000 gold from the treasury, hand it over to Bismarck, the Minister of the Navy, and put it into the construction of the navy."

Seeing His Majesty's firmness and unquestionable meaning, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty fell silent and stopped talking.

Instead, Ying Ji looked at Bismarck and said.

"Bismarck, now, it should be called the Admiralty."

"Secretary of the Navy, now the Empire's financial resources cannot support the full-scale development of the Imperial Navy, so I can only settle for the next best thing!"

"Secretary of the Navy, tell me, what are your plans and how much money do you need?"

"As long as you can forge a powerful navy for the empire, I will satisfy you no matter what you ask."

Hearing what Ying Ji said, Bismarck felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

You must know that in the world time and space where you originally lived, both Wilhelm I and Wilhelm II, the two emperors of the German Empire, can be called holy monarchs.

But he has never trusted himself as much as His Majesty now, let alone said that he would support himself in building a navy with the strength of the empire.

Suddenly, an unprecedented feeling emerged in Bismarck's heart.

Can't tell, don't know.

However, if there is an imperial minister from China who knows what Bismarck is thinking at this time, he will definitely be sure that Bismarck must have given birth to the idea of ​​​​die for the confidant.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, if the financial support of the empire is insufficient, then naval construction can only be the next best thing."

"The minister has also sorted out the first phase of the construction plan of the navy according to the financial situation of the empire."

"The first phase of construction of the navy: The empire will form at least two fleets, and the minimum combat scope will be radiated to the western Pacific fringe near Guam."

"Each fleet combat unit is: at least twenty large ships, including fifteen large combat ships, three large supply ships, and two large troop transport ships."

"At least fifty medium-sized ships, including thirty-five combat ships, five medium-sized transport supply ships, and ten medium-sized troop transport ships."

"There are at least one hundred small ships, including sixty small warships, twenty small material transport ships, and twenty small troop transport ships."

"Each fleet has 170 ships, and there are two fleets in total, with a total of at least 340 ships!"

"The imperial navy with such strength is enough to strengthen the imperial sea power and initially expand the imperial sphere of influence to the western Pacific region."

"Considering the operational needs and practical reasons, Chen specially proposed that the displacement of small ships of the Imperial Navy should not be less than 3,000 tons, the displacement of medium-sized ships should be at least 6,000 to 7,000 tons, and the displacement of large ships must exceed 10,000 tons. Figures are best floating between 10,000 tons and 11,000 tons."

"The personnel requirements are about 50,000 crew members and about 25,000 marines, all equipped with weapons and equipment."

"In addition, it takes 200,000 people to build at least two good deep-water ports for the imperial warships to stay!"

"Of course, the empire still needs at least two large shipyards capable of building a displacement of less than 15,000 tons. The funds are calculated separately, and it is estimated that it will cost about 300,000 to 400,000 gold."

"And these, according to the minister's speculation, the first stage of naval construction requires a minimum of 2.4 million gold from start to finish, preferably the more the better."

Bismarck's tone didn't stop at all. He just went through it in his mind and directly came up with the first-phase construction blueprint of the Imperial Navy that best meets the needs of the Empire's combat.
