Chapter 769 Z1 Battleship

Compared with the overall strategy of the territory, technical authorization is nothing. That's why Ouyang Shuo agreed to authorize the loom manufacturing technology to Xunlong City.

Technology authorization cannot be authorized beyond a higher level, which means that even if Xunlong City obtains the loom manufacturing technology, it cannot re-authorize the technology to someone who should not be authorized.

Even if Xiongba they want to do something about the loom, it doesn't hurt. Ouyang Shuo originally intended to promote the two technologies throughout China at the right time.

No matter how much the [Shanhai League] and [Yanhuang League] fight, it can only be regarded as internal fighting. In future national wars, the two major alliances may have to cooperate.

It is Ouyang Shuo's duty to improve the technology tree in China.

"I have already considered this matter, so there is no need to discuss it again." Ouyang Shuo put aside Yingyou's objection.

Yingyou glanced at Ouyang Shuo, nodded, and didn't speak any more.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Fan Li interjected, "Your Majesty, the General Administration of Finance has something to report. The Department of Commerce has already conducted the first round of negotiations with the ASEAN countries on timber trade. They put forward an additional condition, hoping to obtain the purchase of the Shanhaicheng battleship." power."

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "They have quite a big appetite."

ASEAN lords are not fools, let alone friendly people. In the South Seas, the fleets of the ASEAN countries were firmly suppressed by the Shanhaicheng fleet, and they would not be convinced no matter what.

It is imperative for ASEAN countries to form a powerful fleet to fight against the Shanhaicheng fleet.

The admiral of the Xingzhou Fleet Admiral Yan Huo sent a secret letter to Ouyang Shuo earlier, saying that the naval forces of Java, Johor, Luzon and other countries are about to move, and there is a tendency to make a comeback.

If it wasn't for the Xingzhou Fleet's suppression, the situation would have been bad already. That's why Ouyang Shuo planned to build the Nanyang Navy Command after the Battle of Chibi.

One of the intentions is to suppress the navies of ASEAN countries.

Except for Nanzhang, the ASEAN countries are either facing the sea or simply island countries. There is no shortage of sailors, and their navigation skills are also remarkable. The only weakness is that it lags behind China in warship manufacturing technology.

In this way, they will put their ideas on the battleship of Shanhai City.

"Inform the negotiating team of the Commercial Department and give them an explanation, saying that the Shanhai City battleship can be sold to them, but the number of ships in the main building must be strictly available. In addition, the price must be increased, at least twice." Ouyang Shuo gave an unexpected answer.

Of course, you don't have to be polite to the ASEAN countries, and you have to kill them.

Not to mention in the game, in reality, before the establishment of the United Nations, when countries owned a certain technology monopoly, the profits of exported commodities were calculated by several times, or even ten times, which was simply a money grab.

Ouyang Shuo didn't feel any psychological pressure at all with such a price.

"The Department of Commerce should also pay attention to skills in negotiations, and exaggerate the demand for wood for each warship and the production cycle of warships as much as possible. At the same time, tell the lords of the ASEAN countries that if you want to buy a warship, you must first sell us twice as much wood as the warship. First come First serve, whoever sells us wood first will be able to purchase warships first."

The ASEAN is not monolithic. Ouyang Shuo believes that in order to get the battleship first, those lords will scramble to sell the timber to Shanhai City.

This was a pleasant surprise.

ASEAN countries have demand for Shanhaicheng warships, and if Shanhaicheng catches them, they may have to make concessions in the timber trade negotiations.

At least in terms of price negotiations, they no longer have the confidence to insist on high prices.

Ouyang Shuo decided to sell warships to ASEAN countries, not because he was greedy for money, but because the shipbuilding department of the territory was already organizing the research and development of a new generation of main battleships. The new main battleship is tentatively named the Z1 warship, which will combine the dual characteristics of the Ming Dynasty building warship and the British sailing battleship, and carry out revolutionary transformation and upgrading.

The keel of the experimental battleship was exactly the black dragon keel that Ouyang Shuo got on Dragon Island. After the construction is completed, it will be the flagship of Ouyang Shuo's new generation.

Ouyang Shuo knew very well that British sailing battleships were the development trend of future warships. Because modern ironclad ships evolved step by step on the basis of sailing battleships.

If Shanhai City wants to build ironclad ships in the future, it must first understand the manufacturing technology of sailing battleships. At the same time, the buildings of the Ming Dynasty also have their merits, and many places are worthy of reference for new warships.

The combination of the two, learning from each other's strengths, will surely give birth to a more powerful main battleship.

As long as the Z1 warship is successfully developed, coupled with the P1-2 artillery specially equipped for the warship by the No. 7 Research Institute, Shanhai City can carry out a refit for the Nanyang Navy.

Until then, the ASEAN navy will not be able to challenge the Nanyang navy even if it has large ships and warships.

If it is said that the ASEAN countries empty their pockets and buy countless high-quality timber, they only buy warships that Shanhai City is about to eliminate, and they will eventually be suppressed by Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo asked the Commercial Department to negotiate to buy time for Shanhai City to develop new warships. The wood needed to replace the Z1 warship is massive, and materials must be stockpiled in advance.

You can also make a lot of money in the process, so why not do it.

After hearing this, Fan Li's eyes lit up, he suddenly became enlightened, and said with a smile: "This minister will definitely pass on your majesty's opinion to the negotiators of the Department of Commerce."

"That's good." Ouyang Shuo naturally believed that Fan Li could handle it properly.

…………

It was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon to send off Fan Li and the others.

Taking advantage of the time before dinner, Ouyang Shuo didn't meet anyone and started to process the memorial. In addition to Ouyang Shuo, there was another handsome figure in the study, naturally it was Tsing Yi who had just taken office.

Tsing Yi participated in three meetings in a row, which was an eye-opener.

The chief officials of each department in Shanhai City are giants of one party, each with their own views, it is rare that Ouyang Shuo, the lord, can control the affairs of the government and make the old foxes admire him.

Tsing Yi saw her, her eyes sparkled.

Ouyang Shuo, who handles government affairs seriously and guides the country, really has an extraordinary charm.

In this way, Tsing Yi felt more pressure. Although the little girl looks weak on the outside, she is very strong in her bones. Since she has taken this job, she must do it well.

Ouyang Shuo didn't pay attention to Tsing Yi's muttering, and began to process the memorial quickly. Those who are qualified to submit a performance to his lord can be roughly divided into four categories.

First, intelligence agencies such as Black Snake Guard and Shanhai Guard.

Basically, it was conveyed by the two command envoys, Black Snake and Shen Buhui. When Ouyang Shuo was in Shanhai City, it was more often through face-to-face reports.

Second, field army generals.

According to regulations, generals with the rank of regimental commander and above, including naval admirals, can report military information directly to Ouyang Shuo. The head of the division further down does not have this authority, it is a leapfrog report.

Third, the county guards.

The local sheriffs, including the two city guards of Friendship City and Jidian City, all have the authority to report directly, and routinely report at least once a month as usual.

If the local prefect encounters an emergency, he can make an exception to play. As for what constitutes an emergency, the General Administration of Administration has detailed regulations, and if it exceeds this range, it will be reported as a leapfrog report.

Fourth, the heads of the various institutions of the Duhufu.

Except for the four directors of the general administration, the directors or directors at the next level have the right to report directly to Ouyang Shuo. Of course, unless it was a difficult problem, or an errand assigned by Ouyang Shuo alone, under normal circumstances, there would still be four directors to report on his behalf.

Based on this calculation, there are fifty or sixty people who are qualified to report to Ouyang Shuo. Including emergencies, the scale is even larger.

It's good that Ouyang Shuo is in Shanhai City, some government affairs can be negotiated face to face. When encountering cross-departmental matters, you can also bring the chief officials together to discuss.

Once Ouyang Shuo is not in Shanhai City, things will be bad.

When encountering things, we can only communicate through memorials that come and go, and sometimes we have to go back and forth several times for one thing. When encountering cross-departmental matters, it is even more difficult to handle.

Unfortunately, when Ouyang Shuo was away, he basically had no time during the day, so he could only review memorials at night. In this way, it is no wonder that when I was in Lingnan, I was busy until late at night every day.

Thanks to Gaia's establishment of such an efficient post system, no matter whether the secret letter is still being played, it can be delivered in seconds, just like real email.

Otherwise, the lord will basically not be able to take care of the government affairs of the territory when he is away.

Gaia's arrangement is obviously also a humanized design. While taking into account the particularity of the lord players, it also exercises the lords' ability to handle government affairs.

The memorial that Ouyang Shuo is reviewing now was reported by Xingzhou Governor Pei Ju. It was said that [A Silky Wisp] intends to open a branch in Xingzhou County, and Pei Ju asked for Ouyang Shuo's opinion.

When it comes to foreign affairs, the local sheriffs are more cautious.

Qingsikou has a unique vision, knowing that the ASEAN countries around Xingzhou County are a huge base of raw materials, and it is naturally a great opportunity for a pure-life professional player guild like [A Silky Wisp].

Applying now, you can see that Shanhai City has established a firm foothold in Nanyang.

"This woman is still so shrewd." Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a smile, and wrote a red note at the end of the memorial. There were only a few words in total: Agree, Xingzhou County can handle it as appropriate.

The memorials were reviewed one by one, and before I knew it, it was past six o'clock.

At this moment, a small head poked into the door of the study, it was Bing'er, and the little girl shouted at the door: "Brother has eaten, and as soon as he came back, he was so busy that he even forgot to eat."

The little girl is almost becoming a housekeeper.

Hearing this, Ouyang Shuo was shocked and stretched his waist, "Okay, here we go." Turning his head to look at Tsing Yi beside him, he said, "Tsing Yi, you should get off work first."

"it is good."

Tsing Yi was also fascinated, she would never dine with Ouyang Shuo.

When Lingxi City was annexed, the Construction Department built a mansion for Baihua in Shanhai City. The three Violet sisters live there now, and they are very comfortable.

The lively day came to an end.
