Chapter 1020(2/2)

After all, you now control hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and you have more authority than ordinary border officials. You act so impetuously, and the soldiers you lead bump into your office door, what will you do?"

"I...!" Li Xiu frowned, but when he saw Li Xiao's eyes widening, he had to take a breath.

"The purpose of building a shipyard in Russia is to keep your fleet stationed in the Baltic Sea. It can also have a qualified foothold overseas.

If something goes wrong with a warship, it can be repaired nearby in St. Petersburg.

You tried so hard to destroy it, why did you destroy it? I never thought that it would be our trophy. Why will it be used in the future?"

"I...!" Li Xiu wouldn't say even if he was killed. He was angry because he was attacked by a Russian warship, so he ordered the St. Petersburg Shipyard to be blown up.

"You are not allowed to build battleships because battleships will soon become obsolete. There will soon be battleships that will replace the status of battleships.

If you still hold on to the battleship, you will be completely defeated in the future."

"Battleships will soon become obsolete?" Li Xiu thought Li Xiao was telling a joke.

Battleships have huge artillery and ultra-thick protective armor. These are the necessary conditions for maritime supremacy!

Looking around the world, we know that the Ming Dynasty was able to build such warships. Li Xiao's several battleships have never encountered any opponents across the world.

The solid armor will not cause serious damage even if it hits a mine and is directly exploded.

Li Xiu did not believe that something like this steel fortress on the sea would be replaced or defeated by other ships.

"Everything becomes obsolete, including battleships that look like eyeballs.

I also tell you! The reason why Lushun and Huangdao, as well as Jiangnan Shipyard, Singapore Shipyard and Java Shipyard will not build battleships for you.

That's because I have decided to sell battleships to foreign countries. As long as you give them money, we will sell them to them.

Of course, battleships are expensive."

"Brother!" Li Xiu's expression changed immediately when he heard the news.

Since Li Xiao said so, he will definitely do it.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty's navy spans all over the world, relying on strong ships and powerful guns. Once it is sold to other countries' battleships, the consequences will be disastrous.

Just like those old and wealthy European countries in the UK, as well as Spain and Portugal who are crazy about plundering gold and silver in the Americas.

They will definitely order battleships from Ming Dynasty. Once these countries have battleships, the technological advantages of Ming Dynasty navy will be gone!

"What? The Ming Dynasty's tax revenue last year was only eleven million silver coins, which was the highest in history.

If you don't build some battleships and sell them, how can you raise so many soldiers and build you warships?"

When Li Xiu saw that Li Xiao was really angry, he could only stand aside and say nothing, but he was thinking about how to mess up these businesses.

We must not allow foreign navies to possess such powerful weapons as battleships.

"Come here, let me tell you now. What the next generation of maritime overlords will look like!" Li Xiao said, opening the drawer and taking out a drawing from it.

Li Xiu leaned over and saw Li Xiao opening the drawing.

The drawing shows a strange-looking ship without a single cannon. There is an island on one side of the ship, and the deck of the entire ship is a large flat surface.

What kind of weird thing is this? No matter how hard Li Xiu thought, he couldn't figure out how to fight with this thing.

"The range of Kunlun Mountain's main gun is twenty-eight kilometers, right?" Li Xiao asked coldly.

"The effective range is 28 kilometers, and the maximum range can reach 35.6 kilometers." As a naval commander, Li Xiu was open-mouthed about the performance of this main battle weapon.

"The combat radius of this thing can reach 600 kilometers. In other words, you can attack Tianjin Wei at Port Arthur."

"This...how is this possible?" Li Xiu looked at his elder brother and felt that he was joking.

In this world, it is impossible to have a cannon that can hit 600 kilometers.

"How is it impossible? There are no cannons in this world that can shoot six hundred kilometers, but there are no cannons here.

The weapon on it is this thing." Li Xiao said, turning over the drawing to reveal the carrier-based aircraft below.

"This is...!" Li Xiu was a little stunned when he looked at this thing with two wings, because he had never seen what this thing was.

"This thing is called an airplane. You can understand it as an airship that is small in size and flies extremely fast.
