LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 150 Without a ship, the enemy will build us (please subscribe~)

Silko's mood at this time can be said to be filled with emotion.

He used to only think about achieving Zaan's independence, as if as long as Zaan achieves independence, everything will be fine.

But Li Wei pointed out many problems to him.And not only pointed out the problem, also gave a solution.

In this way, Zaun's independence and its post-independence development path are clearly presented step by step.

This feeling
It's like Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang and was listening to Mr. Wolong explaining "Longzhong Dui"-the chaotic general trend of the world suddenly became clear!
"No wonder Goddess Janna chose him as the Chosen One to lead the struggle."

In Shirko's eyes, Li Wei seemed to be a genius strategist.

So he continued to ask Li Wei humbly: "Zuan really needs a navy."

"But it's not so easy to build a navy from scratch, and it must be a navy that can rival the Noxus Empire?"

As the saying goes, "the army lasts ten years, and the navy lasts a hundred years." Can the navy be built as soon as it is built?

Zaan's shipbuilding industry is indeed well-developed, backed by high mountains, sitting on mineral deposits, and there is no shortage of shipbuilding technology and raw materials.

But even without considering the huge cost of shipbuilding and the cultivation and training of naval professionals, Zaun's production capacity will be full and the ship will be built like dumplings.
It will take at least ten years to catch up with the strength of the Noxus Empire Navy.

Ten years later, if Leader and Zaun hadn't finished, Goddess Naganna would have had followers all over the world, and her divine power would be invincible.

At this time, "nuclear bombs" are enough. What do you need warships for?
Thinking about it this way, isn't it a waste of money to engage in the navy?

"Your concern is justified. If the navy takes too long to be used at critical moments, then its strategic significance is almost non-existent."

"But" Li Wei paused slightly, and said with a smile: "Who said we can't build a fleet that can compete with the Noxus navy in a short period of time?"

"Since it's too late to build a ship by ourselves, we can completely change our thinking and let the enemy build a ship for us!"

"You mean robbing?" Silko was confused.

Whose ship is Li Wei going to grab in order to grab an invincible fleet that can rival Noxus?
"Let's ask, is there any fleet in Runeterra that can compete with Noxus' powerful navy?"

As he spoke, Li Wei slowly opened a large map of Runeterra.

He first pointed to the Noxus Empire in the north: "The current number one navy in the world is Noxus."

"The world's second navy, who is it?"

The answer may be unexpected.

The world's second navy does not belong to any country, but
"One Piece of Bilgewater, Planck's Grand Fleet."

Yes, the second most powerful sea fleet in Runeterra is a group of pirates.

Planck's pirates have been on the sea for many years, and they have never been invincible.

Not only was he not afraid of the Noxus Imperial Navy, he even took the initiative to trouble the Noxus Navy.

As a result, the Imperial Navy not only failed to defeat the gang of pirates, but also allowed Planck to snatch the "Leviathan" from them - that was the flagship of the Imperial Commander Swain, and also the flagship of the Noxus Imperial Navy. pride.

The flagship of a navy was snatched by pirates.

And Noxus had nothing to do with Planck afterwards, not even revenge.

This is enough to prove the power of the Bilgewater pirates.

"But is it really because Planck is too strong?"

"No, it's actually because the Noxus Empire's navy is too weak."

The navy of the Noxus Empire ranks first in the world, not because of how strong they are.

It's because in the field of the navy, they have no competitors at all in Runeterra.

Just look at the four main enemies of Noxus today——

The Freljord in the north, a group of shirtless tribal primitives, has a fart navy.

Ionia in the east doesn't even count as a country, and naturally it doesn't have a navy.

The Kingdom of Demacia to the west, a standard agricultural land power country, has little incentive to build a navy.

As for the natives of Shurima to the south
The last time the Shurima Continent had a navy was perhaps 3000 years ago, before the fall of the Shurima Empire.

So Noxus has no enemies at sea at all.

Without enemies, there would naturally be no appropriation of funds.

Without funding, the Noxus Navy is naturally the "second class" in the imperial military system.

Army gentlemen have countless funds to squander every year. Expanding a legion of rune swordsmen today, and expanding a company of battle mages tomorrow, will naturally become fatter over time.

However, the Red Deer of the Navy can only save the pitiful expenses and build a few new ships every year for a symbolic amount.

So when the Planck Pirates attacked the Imperial Navy and managed to steal the flagship, the horrific news came back to Noxus, to the Immortal Bastion
The first reactions of Emperor Darkwill and the high-ranking nobles were:

"Did you deliberately lose the battle and come back to cheat funds?"

The admirals cried and said no, saying that Planck was so powerful and arrogant that he had to send an invincible fleet to destroy it.

Then the noble gentlemen counted with their fingers:
First count the Planck Pirates, the annual loss caused by the robbery to the empire;
Then calculate the naval funds needed to capture Bilgewater Harbor and eliminate pirates
After careful calculation, the huge sum of money needed to expand the navy is enough for Planck to grab for decades.

Instead of spending a lot of money to suppress bandits, it is better to ignore Planck as a fly, and to see it as a net.

"It is precisely because the Noxus Empire has no enemies at sea, so the Noxus Navy's army building strategy has always been—just enough."

"So, Silko, in fact, we don't need to overestimate our opponents." Levi smiled: "We need to pay attention to them tactically. But strategically, we can completely despise them."

"The strength of the Noxus navy is not that strong."

"As long as we can successfully incorporate Planck's pirate group, we have every chance to catch up with Noxus in a short time."

Li Wei's tone was very optimistic.

But these words sounded like a fantasy to Silko: "Indeed, as long as we can incorporate the large pirate fleet controlled by Planck, we will have the strength to compete with the Noxus Empire in a short period of time."

"But the question is. Planck, will you obediently let us include it?"

The Noxus Empire has nothing to do with this Bilgewater Pirate King. The leader said that he can be recruited if he is recruited?

"Yes." Li Wei said, "Because I successfully found the expert who dealt with Planck."

"Besides, I've already sent someone to invite her over."

Piltover, off sea.

A huge warship named Siren is slowly sailing into Pilt Bay.

"It's really bustling here." The dark-skinned first officer was standing at the bow, joking to his captain: "Every time I come to Piltover, I want to grab it hard."

"Hey." The captain is a beauty.

She frowned slightly, and reminded without losing her majesty: "Let everyone behave, Lei Wen."

"This time we are here to do business, not to 'do business'."

"Don't be fussy, something went wrong here."

Her voice is very soft and beautiful, just like her face, which makes people feel at ease when they see her.

That head of bright red hair could not even cover the wide-brimmed three-cornered hat, falling like a waterfall over her fair and delicate cheeks, and draped over her generous and exposed smooth collarbone.

Usually such a beautiful girl does not appear on a pirate ship.

If she appeared, she would definitely be teased and harassed by the rough guys, and even attracted countless greedy and evil eyes.

But this girl is the captain of this pirate ship.

No one dared disrespect her.

She just casually ordered everyone to behave, and these wild sailors stopped joking.

Because she is a famous big pirate in Bilgewater, [Bounty Hunter Miss Fortune], also known as:

"Captain Sarah!"

PS: The following chapters 148~150 are not well written, which makes everyone feel a little watery_(:з」∠)_
So it's still an early warning. New readers can skip directly to Chapter 151 and watch it again.
