Chapter 2050: Pulling people into the army
[But I really want to build it, ahhhh, why am I so short of money? I must build one.] Lu Jun was quite annoyed that the full version of the seventh-generation ship was almost becoming Lu Jun's obsession.
[Or I'd like to find a way to fool Taishi Ci and the others first and let them continue to invest money. With the situation of the navy, it won't take long to invest 10 billion yuan. In this case, they can't watch the 10 billion yuan thrown into the water, but they will probably be beaten to death...] Lu Jun thought silently that he really wanted to build that invincible warship.
Especially when I saw the super heaven and earth essence gas-steam power machine designed by Zheng Hun and Ma Jun in Yecheng, the almost stable output of internal gas is the ultimate power of the body, which is the most suitable power core for his seventh-generation ship.
However, the cost is said to be 2 billion yuan. Lu Jun deeply stated that this is all drizzle. If he spent 50 or 60 billion yuan to build the seventh-generation ship, then Lu Jun would not mind spending 2 billion yuan to buy such a power core. In short, if you want to do it, you should do the best.
[After doing it, I always have to do a few things that will keep you from regretting, but this money is indeed a problem. Where can I get so much money and so much high-quality steel, if I cannot obtain Chen Hou's approval, I will not be able to obtain it. 30,000 tons of high-quality steel is also a trouble.] Lu Jun thought a little irritatedly, and he found that his seventh-generation ship was full of pitfalls.
Speaking of which, the reason why Lu Jun needed high-quality steel was also discovered by the soldiers later. The forged steel made by Chen Xi was indeed not as good as the miscellaneous brand weapons after warming up, but the quality of the forged steel after warming up was better than the miscellaneous brand weapons.
Only then did Chen Xi realize that warming is indeed a physical change, but compared with high-quality steel, the ratio of iron to carbon and other elements is closer to the standard. After warming, it is naturally better than miscellaneous weapons. In essence, high-carbon steel and low-carbon steel are not the same thing...
On the other hand, Taishi Ci, who learned that Gan Ning had not died in battle, was full of energy. Since Gan Ning was not dead, he would help Gan Ning build the navy again, so that Gan Ning would have a powerful navy as soon as he came back.
"Degui, you have brought some high-quality naval troops from Jingxiang!" Taishici immediately looked for Cai Mao after he came back. He wanted to expand the navy. Although ships are very important to the navy, people are equally important. In his opinion, Cai Mao is a very good navy general and can serve as their helper.
"Yes, after all, I also have some old subordinates, but why not recruit them on the spot in Donglai, Taishan." Cai Mao asked with a hint of excitement in confusion, "Aren't you also going to the Lu family to buy a ship? How come you got the ten seventh-generation ships?"
"No, the Lu family did not build the seventh-generation ship again. The cost is too high, but I have paid the deposit, and the Lu family started to make it. It is estimated that it will be completed by the beginning of next year. However, the current seventh-generation ship is not a complete version after all, and I want the other party to customize two complete versions." Taishi Ci nodded and explained.
"Oh, this is a good thing. When I was taking this ship before, the Lu family said that this was a castrated version. In this case, the complete seventh-generation ship should be three points stronger." Cai Mao was delighted when he heard this.
"It's not that it's three-pointer, but that it's much stronger. But it's not yet created. I can't be sure how much stronger it can be." Taishi Ci said with a smile, "Okay, let's not mention this anymore. Degui has time to return to Jingzhou and bring his former subordinates here. Although there are the naval troops seconded by Zhou Gongjin, he is always a little uneasy when using it."
"I will send a letter back to Jingzhou and find a way to bring my old subordinates one by one." Cai Mao did not mean to refuse to delay. Liu Bei's treatment was very good. In addition, Liu Bei's strength was very strong and his momentum was very sufficient to unify the world, so Cai Mao had no unnecessary ideas.
As for coveting the position of commander-in-chief of the navy, to be honest, since losing to Zhou Yu, Cai Mao has no hope for it. In the past, as a qi-refining force, he was able to firmly hold the Jingxiang naval army, mainly because his water battle was indeed very good.
But after Huang Zu, he and Zhang Yun were easily defeated by Zhou Yu, Cai Mao realized that this was no longer the era of them. The young people had already come, and the water battle command he was proud of was no longer on the table.
As the strongest navy commander, he was still unable to get on the table, and other strengths were even more unstoppable. Therefore, after being recruited by Li You, he came to Liu Bei's rule, and Cai Mao's rampant and domineering in Jingxiang had all disappeared.
After all, as the head of the Cai family, he is not mentally ill. He can still tell the difference clearly when he should be low and when he is proud.
Therefore, since he came to Liu Bei's rule, Cai Mao could see clearly that the other party was just missing a link in the navy, and he could only say that he was here to make up the numbers.
In this case, Cai Mao naturally knew that if he did what he should do, then with Liu Bei's character and the situation of several responsible persons on the Navy, he would definitely not be missing a little.
On the contrary, in this case, Cai Mao still held the idea of being the commander of the Jingxiang Naval Army, and everyone else should listen to him. So after he used up, he would be left there, and he still had to think about it?
This is why after Cai Mao came to Taishi Ci's command, he always did his own business well, and did not fight or rob. Even if Taishi Ci was wrong in the navy, Cai Mao just pointed it out in private and gave Taishi Ci enough face.
Taishi Ci also saw this. He didn't know what Cai Mao had in the past, so he would only look at Cai Mao from his current perspective. As a person who respected me and gave me ten feet of people, Taishi Ci naturally gave Cai Mao a very good face.
The same is recruiting soldiers. Even if there is a gap between recruiting the navy army at the port of Donglai, Taishan and recruiting the navy army at Jiangdong, the gap will not be too big. Speaking to Cai Mao means that Taishi Ci told Cai Mao to form his own headquarters.
In particular, he specifically notified Cai Mao to go to Jingxiang to recruit his former headquarters. The intention was self-evident. After all, as a general, having his own personal guard is considered a real start. If he doesn't even have a personal guard, even if he gets an official position, it will be nothing more than an empty space.
