Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 323 Bringing Cannons to Ask for Accounts (Third Change)
Li Changfeng said lightly: "My son has already built an iron-clad warship."

Emperor Ganwu was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed: "Iron armored warship?"

When the cargo ship of Benjamin, a foreigner, ran aground in the South China Sea, Li Changfeng sent people from the scientific research institute to learn shipbuilding, and Emperor Qianwu knew about the opening of the shipyard later.

But he didn't pay much attention to it.

It is less than a year now, and the iron armored warship has been successfully manufactured, how can we not be surprised?

"Father, you don't need to be so surprised." Li Changfeng waved his hands and said, "It's just the outer shell and the difficult main structure made of fine steel, and the other parts are still made of wood."

From the very beginning, Li Changfeng never thought of making steel battleships like in his previous life, as long as the shell is hard enough and the structure is strong enough.

His design idea is to focus on ocean trade, supplemented by combat.

Even so, ironclad warships are still strong enough to crush all wooden ships in the world, especially after installing steam engines.

There is another very important reason, that is, the current steel output is not enough for him to let go of his hands and feet to build steel warships.

According to his vision, a few cannons are enough to sweep the world.

Originally, this step would have to be implemented a long time later, but what the Japanese pirates did forced him to advance ahead of time.

Emperor Ganwu calmed down a lot, thought for a while and said: "I heard that the warships of Japanese pirates are very fast. The weight of your iron-clad warship must be astonishing. I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up. Are you going to land and fight? If it is If that’s the case, I advise you to reconsider.”

"As for the speed, father, you can rest assured that my son has already installed a steam engine on the armored warship. The speed is not comparable to that of the pirate warship..."

Before Li Changfeng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Qianwu.

"Can a steam engine be installed on a warship?!"

"Of course, the steam engine is just a power output unit. Adding a propeller can make the ship move quickly. The propeller is...forget it. I can't tell for a while. Anyway, the speed is very fast, and the wooden boat that encounters Japanese pirates does not need it. Fire a cannon, hit them directly and they will be buried in the sea!"

"...Well, you don't have a plan for a landing operation, do you?"

"No, I'll just go get the money back and ask them to pay the liquidated damages. I still want to watch them and the Goryeo stick dog bite the dog."

"You can think of it best."

"My son wants to adjust some artillery to mount on the ship."

"That's it!"

"And hot air balloons."

"That's it!"

"Thank you, Father."

Emperor Ganwu waved his hands and said solemnly: "These will be yours in the future, you can call them whatever you want, I only have one request!"

Li Changfeng chose the first half of Emperor Wu Hugan's sentence, and asked, "What is the request?"

Emperor Ganwu said with great pride: "Since you want to fight, then you have to show the momentum of my big fight, and the prestige of my big fight!"

Over the years, Japanese pirates have frequently harassed Dagan, and Emperor Qianwu had long been simmering with anger. Since Li Changfeng was going to go to war, he had to vent his anger.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Li Changfeng's mouth: "Don't worry, father, I will definitely teach the Japanese pirates a bloody lesson!"

……

After leaving the palace, Li Changfeng went straight to the air force base and found Li Jianye.

"Ninth brother, why do you come here when you have time? What a rare visitor!" Li Jianye joked.

Li Changfeng wasn't in the mood to joke with him, so he went straight to the point and said, "Do you want to go to war?"

Li Jianye was stunned for a moment, and then an astonishing look burst out in his eyes.

"Go!" Li Jianye cheered, "Training every day, training every day, I'm almost suffocated, tell me, who do you want to hit?!"

"Japanese pirates."

"Japanese pirates?! Great, I've wanted to beat them for a long time!"

Next, Li Changfeng told Li Jianye about his plan.

He is the main general and Li Jianye is the deputy general.

Mobilize fifty cannons, ten for each armored warship.

25 hot air balloons, five for each armored warship.

Five hundred musketeers, one hundred for each armored warship.

Li Changfeng handed over all the personnel deployment and material mobilization to Li Jianye, and he went back to the mansion to send people to hire several large ships.

The land journey took too long, and he didn't want to waste time.

Going downstream along the waterway saves the most time.

Then Li Changfeng asked Bingbing and Xiaotong to prepare things for the road, and Chunni came up after hearing the news.

"I heard that you are going to sea to fight?"

"Yeah, you don't want to go too, do you?"

"Of course!" Chunni nodded, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation, "I've never seen the sea before!"

"Okay, then pack up and go with me tomorrow."

Li Changfeng naturally wished for such a powerful and extraordinary being to accompany him. If the damn Japanese pirate country also had an existence similar to the Great Temple of Amaterasu, it would be good to have someone to block the knife.

"it is good!"

Chunni left with a smile on her face, her steps became much lighter.

Li Changfeng felt a little funny, like a child who had never seen the world.

It is said that it is an expedition, but it is actually for money.

So there was no big commotion, and early in the morning of the second day, Li Changfeng quietly took everyone on board and set off.

After they left the capital for half a day, this matter gradually spread in the capital, and everyone was a little dumbfounded.

"Damn Japanese pirates, they really ate their hearts and daring. It's not good to owe money to anyone. They must owe money to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince. Let's see how they end up."

"Hey, it's really scary. Others want to bring a knife to their death. Your Highness is directly bringing a cannon!"

"Judging from what His Highness did in the northern border, it would be difficult for the Japanese pirates to understand this without bleeding."

"The Japanese pirates deserve it too. They have harassed my Dagan Sea Territory all these years, so it's time to teach them a lesson!"

"That's for sure. I heard that His Highness not only brought cannons, but also hot air balloons!"

"..."

Of course, some people expressed dissatisfaction.

"His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, this is for private use!"

"That's right, the Artillery Battalion, the Musket Battalion, and the Air Force are my main army, not his private army. How can I use it to pay for myself?"

"Although I respect His Highness the Ninth Prince, I still feel very sorry for his actions!"

"..."

This kind of news soon spread to Emperor Ganwu's ears, which caused him some headaches, so he had to ask Gao Dali to issue a notice, saying that Li Changfeng was responsible for all military expenses, and this move was also for military training.

But this kind of rhetoric was not recognized. On the contrary, more people noticed this time because of this notice, and more people expressed dissatisfaction with Li Changfeng.

When the situation developed to such a degree, Emperor Ganwu simply let it go.

After all, compared to Li Changfeng's contribution, this matter is nothing at all.

Li Changfeng didn't know anything about this, and the big ship full of soldiers and ammunition went down the river, and arrived at the shipyard in Nanhai Prefecture nine days later. His old acquaintance Zhou Jianbo led the army to meet him.

"Your Highness, we meet again!"

Li Changfeng was a little surprised: "General Zhou, why are you here?"
