Hamilton threw out his plan, the content is very simple, the United States wants to receive the second ship of the Valkyrie class and the Valkyrie class in the Haight Shipyard.
This involves a question, that is, is the existence of the second ship important to the combat power system of the direct fleet?
The answer is vague.
Only from the analysis of the two No. 1 ships in active service, that is, the Valkyrie of Lorraine and the Lady of Pierce, the two ships undoubtedly bear the burden of qualitative changes in their establishments.
Because of the existence of the lady, the special service formation of the small formation can overwhelm the first formation and become the most independent and powerful combat unit in the direct fleet.
Because of the existence of Valkyrie, Lorraine was able to win the Battle of Basseterre, which dominated the Caribbean Sea, and became the White Flag Pirate King that made the entire pirate world fearful.
They are an indispensable pillar of the direct fleet, both in terms of combat power and tactics.
But there is no real invincibility in the ocean.
In the Battle of Basseterre, Valkyrie was almost severely injured by Blackbeard piercing the side; earlier in the Gulf of Curiamuria, if Lorraine hadn't arrived in time, the lady and Pierce might have become Portuguese man's booty.
From this point of view, even if the cost is high, the plan of [using the second ship as a backup ship in response to possible unplanned incapacity] is of great significance.
However, the wording of this plan ignores the most critical condition, that is, no matter what form of disability, the Drake Chamber of Commerce cannot lose control of the two ships. Once lost, the new replacement ship will lose the crucial heavy ship equipment.
The Valkyrie class of Drake Marine Group and its cognate Valkyrie class are undoubtedly the top ship designs in the history of human sailing.
It has a top-notch physique of its time, even if the patch armor is not counted, it also has the thickest hull in the world, and it also has outstanding speed.
Among the super sailboats over 50 meters that have been delivered in the world, the Valkyrie ranks second in speed, and the Lady ranks third. The only one that can surpass them in speed is their predecessor, the Dao Mark.
The top speed of Dao Biaohao is 16 knots. In order to get the wings to fly, she almost sacrificed all her offensive and defensive capabilities.
However, as a pure-blood warship, it is still her shipboard firepower that ultimately determines its design value.
Equipped with a 32-pound length and a 48-pound mortar, Valkyrie can pose a threat to any tier-1 battleship under superior conditions, and can also defeat a tier-3 battleship under balanced conditions. This is her value.
But once the heavy firepower is lost, Valkyrie will return to the frigate level, at best it will be a top-notch high-speed frigate.
The second-generation Samurai who has strengthened both offensive and defensive ends can also achieve leapfrog challenges to frigates. Although the victory and defeat are far less easy than Valkyrie, her cost is less than 13% of Valkyrie. Mature construction technology and a large number of standards The components can also compress the construction time to one year. Comprehensive consideration, Valkyrie has no advantage at all.
Therefore, the direct fleet does not need high-speed frigates, and all Lorraine needs is the Valkyrie and the Lady, which are equipped with heavy firepower.
In the same way, it can be proved that the two types of No. 2 ships are not of such high practical value to the Chamber of Commerce. Any reasonable person knows how low the probability of a warship being disabled but not captured is. Encountering a situation that cannot be repaired or is too late to repair is as slim as a mirage coming true.
To put it bluntly, the reason why the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce approved the construction proposal of the two types of No. 2 ships was not because they had any expectations for them. It was more because they hoped that the No. 1 and No. 5 docks of the Haight Shipyard would pass through the continuous large-scale construction. Ship orders to accumulate experience, improve craftsmanship, and improve construction efficiency for building large ships.
So...the fact that the Americans wanted to pick peaches when the two Type 2 ships were about to be completed was really a big help...
"Alexander, you gave me a difficult problem." Lorraine held his chin,
With a perplexed face, "I have great expectations for the Valkyrie-class No. 2 ship that will enter service soon and the Valkyrie-class No. 2 ship that will most likely enter service next year. Leap, but the US wants to buy them..."
Hamilton put his apology on his face: "Kenway, I know you are reluctant. But the revolving door will change America. We thought the British would not notice this, but your brother is too good, even if it is only a short One hour of contact, and we know he's not going to sit back and watch America take off."
"If Shaq Drake wants to destroy the U.S. economy, the two Valkyries cannot be the opponents of the North American fleet!" Lorraine emphasized.
"We don't expect to defeat him, as long as he throws the mouse. As long as the threat of backlash is big enough, Britain will not allow him to start a war!"
"It seems that you are determined to win my baby..." Lorraine sighed helplessly and gratifiedly, "Alexander, they are yours now, weighing the safety of the trade route and the future of the allies, I still think that the powerful America is more important. benefit me."
"You will not regret today's decision!"
Hamilton stood up, solemnly poured two glasses of new wine, and handed one of them to Lorraine.
"Lorraine, I have drawn up a military supply contract..."
"Don't worry, my friend, I never regret my decision." Lorraine smiled, "There is one more thing you need to know before checking the contract."
"What?"
"The Valkyrie class and the Valkyrie class come from the same design, you already know that." Lorraine shook the wine glass, "I can terminate the armor contract and reduce the purchase cost for you, but in order to adapt to the armor, the female The Valkyrie class has been modified in a large number of details."
"She and the Valkyrie class are only similar in appearance, but they are different ships in their bones. Of course, the cost is also higher. I don't know if you are mentally prepared."
Hamilton had a bad feeling: "Valkyrie class... how much is the price of the Valkyrie class without armor?"
"She is not a model for sale, so there is no public price. I calculated according to the price formula of the Chamber of Commerce. The price of a single Valkyrie class ship is 95,000 pounds, and the Valkyrie class... 110,000 pounds. This means that the gram The budget for plan C that Lun gave you is not enough, so you have to add more money."
...
Evelyn Natural Breath Flower Shop, Wesley Street, North District.
Sigritte Christina Teresia, wearing a light green skirt, stopped in front of the blooming lilies, bent down, and sniffed the fragrance of the flowers intoxicated.
A young man with a stern expression stopped beside her. There was a pot of red roses and a pot of white roses in front of him. The young man covered his mouth and fell into deep thought, looking hesitant.
Sig smiled and straightened up: "Idiot Harry, only red roses can convey the love in my heart."
"I guess you may have misunderstood something." Harry stroked the flower pot of white roses regretfully, "You have not heard from your relatives for half a month, Ryan and I have even chosen the cemetery for you, you come back like this , don’t you feel ashamed of our expectations?”
"Naughty boy... Shouldn't you choose my favorite lily when visiting the grave?"
"Death is dead. Compared with taking care of your preferences, normal people will tend to their own aesthetics."
"Innocence, purity, respect, humility..." Seeger turned his back on Harry and murmured one after another, "I have received your heart, and it sounds surprisingly good."
A vein popped out of Harry's handsome face: "Thank God, the white rose is the eighty-fourth beautiful thing that makes me sick."
"You have to get used to it."
Hearing Sig's eccentric relief, Harry spat coldly: "The wanderer returns home, how does it feel to be home?"
"The town is more prosperous than before, but it's a pity that there is a new mayor, who is an awkward brother-in-law and a stubborn one."
"There are not many people in the world who you can feel sorry for."
"Maybe I don't match that surname. I don't like both brothers." Seeger played with his ribbon quietly, "Going out for two weeks, what's new?"
Harry's expression suddenly became serious: "During your absence...Hundred Ghosts of the Night Walk."
"So interesting?"
"It's like the disgusting garlic has the effect of warding off evil spirits. As soon as you leave, ghosts and monsters gather. Among them, there are three most famous monsters, Cotton Jack, Henry the Hound, and Leif Bonnet who almost killed in Basseterre. And Catalina Dipo's Viking Bonnet."
"Two Pirate Kings and a Pirate King candidate? Does the shark smell fishy..."
"Our people ventured into Nassau, but they didn't gain much. We don't know yet whether they came for the auction. We only know that Jack Mianbo issued a call for skeletons, Henry, Bonnet and the pirate prince Bellamy They are all on the call, but the Robin Hood at sea is absent."
Sig's hand stopped unconsciously: "Harry, I don't understand, does Cotton Jack have such a great appeal?"
"It is reasonable to say that in the current pirate world, only Black Baron Pavlomy and Blackbeard Edward have the prestige to summon other pirate kings. Of course, our old friends have enough prestige, but the pirate kings are probably terrible. The summoning order of the white flag, They probably wouldn't dare respond."
"So it is very likely that someone else actually issued the summoning order..." Sig pondered, "Who would it be?"
"God knows." Harry shook his head. "We don't even know what they're gathering for."
"I can guess the purpose." Sig laughed fearing that the world would be chaotic, "I haven't told you yet, the younger brother of the new mayor is going to visit Boston recently, and I have already agreed to be his tour guide, June 22 No, we'll meet here."
Harry's eyes widened: "That...brother?"
"That brother." Sig confirmed, "The pirates should come for him, right? As tour guides, we must hide this news well, and we must not let him be distracted by trivial matters, let alone destroy this place with our own hands." It was a pleasant trip. Got it?"
Harry has long been familiar with Seeger's disregard for the overall situation.
He neither agreed nor opposed, just asked: "Do you want to prepare any present?"
"Invitation letter, look for it." Seeger looked up at the sun, "It's rare to meet a super rich gentleman, this time! Be sure to go to the top auction in the world to open your eyes!"
