Bogota, Colombia.

Zeng Yunfeng nodded secretly while listening to his subordinates' report.

"My lord, this is the latest situation, and the plan has been implemented very smoothly. Now, under the guidance of Lord Allen, the plan has been spread widely in various countries. Many royal families and ambassadors have contacted us. Hope to order a batch of warships from us."

"It's just that the shipbuilding schedule may be a bit long, but I don't know if the shipbuilding workshops can still be scheduled?"

Zeng Yunfeng listened to the report given to him by the officer on duty and said: "According to this plan, we can still go to the back row. Our own fleet can be slower and update them first. If they are eager, they can even eliminate some of our fleets." Warships are given priority to them."

"But in this case, my lord, then we can"

Zeng Yunfeng reached out his hand to stop the officer on duty from speaking next, and shook his head, "We need to use newer warships. The current batch of warships seem to me to be a bunch of old antiques. Instead of keeping them in our hands and waiting to rot, we should first Sell ​​them."

Zeng Yunfeng stood up and took two steps.

The wooden battleship of the era of sailing warships is indeed a powerful weapon in the current period, but it is also destined to be eliminated by the times.

Ironclad ships are the direction of the future. Even iron-clad ships are much more advanced than the current pure wooden sailing warships. Of course, the initial iron-clad ships are still very fragile, but Zeng Yunfeng hopes that they can go in this direction.

The officer on duty pursed his lips, saw Zeng Yunfeng sitting down slowly, hesitated, thought for a while before asking: "But the consul, there are many voices below, and the emotions are quite intense, are we?"

The age of steam is coming, and the Iron Kingdom must have self-motivation and internal drive. The reason why Zeng Yunfeng dismissed those old sailors and those old guys who used to follow him is actually a concern in this regard.

The territory map of the White Iron Kingdom has clearly shown his future pressure.

The world does not have so many resources for them to divide.

Now, Baitie Kingdom put a very generous offer in front of them for them to choose, Zeng Yunfeng couldn't think of any reason for them not to act.

Zeng Yunfeng picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and shook his head.

These ships obtained from the rapid shipbuilding of the White Iron Kingdom in the early stage must be dealt with, while they are still worth some money.

Now it's time for the White Iron Kingdom to undergo a wave of renewal.

People are lazy. After enjoying peace and wealth, their footsteps will stagnate, and they will admire the luxurious life even more.

There are so many wooden warships at home, and a lot of money, manpower and material resources are spent to build them.

No matter which era, every organization has always had conservatives, and sometimes such conservatives often hold back the progress of the entire organization.

The wooden sailing battleships built by many maritime powers from the 18th to the 19th centuries were obviously unable to keep up with the rhythm when they were finally adjusted to ironclad ships because of the large number of constructions.

"In addition, we also refurbish old ships. As long as we can expand the strength of the shipbuilding workshop, we don't mind. Whether it's building new ships, or refurbishing our old ships, and then selling them again, I think All acceptable."

You must know that such a small country like Portugal can make a career on the sea, and other inland countries in Europe may not have thought about it, but they did not have the conditions in the early stage.

The longer these old factions and even conservatives stay in the Iron Kingdom, the more rigid the system of the Iron Kingdom will become.

However, once the era of ironclad ships comes, it is necessary to eliminate and replace a batch, which is unacceptable for any country.

Now, what Zeng Yunfeng is most worried about is that Baitie Kingdom also has such concerns and thoughts.

"Well, it's time for a change!"

The examples of later generations clearly showed all this, and this is also what Zeng Yunfeng was worried about.

Of course, it is not just to sell them ships, but also to provide funds for the follow-up shipbuilding plan of the White Iron Kingdom.

The navy is a vital part of the White Iron Kingdom. Zeng Yunfeng does not allow anyone to get stuck in this place. Advancement and innovation must continuously flow into the navy team.

The reason why Zeng Yunfeng added the rudder symbol to the national flag was not to let people remember the kingdom's pirate history, but to let these people remember what the foundation of the White Iron Kingdom was.

As for the future prospects, they may not care too much about it. If this continues, perhaps within a dozen years, the foundation of the White Iron Kingdom will collapse and decay from within.

But this is not realistic, so the navy must be elite instead of eating from a big pot.

For a white iron kingdom whose national power is not particularly strong today, building a navy is a very, very uncomfortable thing, and it is also a weak link.

For Zeng Yunfeng, not all countries are willing to buy these used warships. Instead of waiting for them to rot after being eliminated, it is better to sell them at a discount to other countries, especially those countries in Europe that have the idea of ​​​​struggling for maritime hegemony.

Being too conservative, or still holding on to the old ideas and ideas of the past, not only will it not improve the navy of the White Iron Kingdom, but it will further suppress the development of the White Iron Kingdom.

At that time, no one will pay attention to sea dominance.

Although Zeng Yunfeng is barely supporting the shipbuilding plan now, but in fact this kind of plan will not last long.

The navy team must also have a steady stream of fresh blood integrated into it.

It is absolutely intolerable for these old guys to give up the sailing warships they used to have, to give up the babies they used to name like their lovers, and even to sell their beautiful lovers.

It is a certainty in the future that the fleet will replace a large number of new warships. Although those old warships obtained are considered advanced warships in the Atlantic and Pacific, they are still far behind those ironclad ships in the later period.

With a large sea area and numerous islands, the money spent on the navy every year is like a river flowing away. To maintain a large number of ships, it is necessary to maintain a large amount of trade to supply him, so that this navy can exist forever.

Zeng Yunfeng looked at the officer on duty and said: "By the way, send several personnel from the Commercial and Trade Department to Gris Allen to help him sort out similar docking business, and try to connect with our shipbuilding and ship sales. "

This is also one of the reasons why Zeng Yunfeng sent Gris Allen to St. Petersburg this time.

Some countries would rather hold those rotten sailboats than let them go, and would rather not enter the age of ironclad ships, and finally the navy will decline.

The foundation of the Baitie Kingdom's founding is the control of sea passages and sea dominance. Zeng Yunfeng must ensure that the Baitie Kingdom's advantages in the sea are superior to other countries.

The fighting spirit and courage of the past can be left behind, but the concept of advancing with the times must and needs to be passed on.

As he said that, he looked at the officer on duty and said, "Didn't a batch of tea come from the East recently?"

"Ah, yes!" The officer on duty replied in a daze.

"Okay, let's drink tea later."

The officer on duty was stunned for a moment, wondering why his lord consul suddenly talked about tea.
