I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 524: Naval shipbuilding plan

The awarding ceremony has aroused a lot of heated discussion, and the status of soldiers has been further improved.

At this time, Wu Changqing also issued internal documents to the military.

The navy is the most profitable for the guidance on military development.

After this document was issued, the navy in the headquarters walked with a smile, and the army who looked at it hated them.

After all, there is a fixed number of total military expenditures. To vigorously develop the navy, it will naturally slow down the development of the army.

Unhappy to unhappy, the senior army generals did not say anything, or tried to resist.

After all, there are indeed fewer wars on land now.

Moreover, because Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang and others have bad heads, the founding generals are generally honest, for fear that they will be seized and liquidated if they do something wrong.

Their goal is to keep their current power and power, and they won't think too much about it.

So, now Wu Changqing wants to talk about developing the navy, so let's develop the navy. In short, don't contradict the emperor.

Moreover, the navy belongs to the military anyway.

In the fight against civil officials, everyone has to stand on the same front.

With Wu Changqing's instructions, Wu Yi immediately discussed and studied with the navy leaders for several nights, and then proposed the navy's shipbuilding plan.

Wu Changqing who looked at this plan was speechless.

The navy plans to build fifty thousand-ton pure iron-clad warships, twenty two-thousand-ton iron-clad battleships, ten five-thousand-ton ships, and one 10,000-ton Shendi in the next five years.

Wu Changqing will stop complaining about the quantity. If you spend more money, the quantity is not a problem.

The key is that 10,000-ton Divine Emperor, is this serious?

With the current power of the steam engine, it is just right to propel a 1,000-ton ship, and it is very reluctant to exceed 1,500 tons.

There is no alternative but to wait for the improvement of steam engine power.

Of course, the serious plan put forward by the other navy will naturally not appear too unintelligible.

They also have a solution, which is to add more steam engines, and they plan to install four steam engine propulsion engines on the Shendi.

Moreover, the hybrid approach is adopted.

That is to say, in the case of a steam engine, continue to retain the sails.

And all this is just to push this behemoth.

The speed of this behemoth is definitely not fast. No matter how powerful the firepower is, it is only a display, and its practicality is extremely limited, which is a face-saving project.

A huge ship of 10,000 tons, if it were really built, I am afraid that it would make people admire the five-body cast.

The shock it brings to the people is not much worse than that of trains.

Of course, whether it is used or not is not the point. The point is that the budget of this warship is 3 million yuan.

Approximately equal to the current cost of 80 steam warships.

At present, the total number of steam warships in the Navy is almost fifty.

Three million is just the cost. To equip this behemoth with artillery and other equipment, the cost of this warship, even the Navy itself can't estimate it, and can only make a vague offer of five million.

"You have to take a bite of your meal, and you have to walk step by step. The steps are too big at one time, and it's easy to pull the egg."

Wu Changqing said.

Wang Dayong, who was on the side, laughed directly when he heard the words. It is really a happy thing to see others being criticized.

Wu Yi was embarrassed, he also knew that this plan was a bit outrageous.

However, if you don't ridicule the price, how can you still pay it back?

First offer an impossible price, and in the end, you can accept the emperor's counter-offer with a very aggrieved appearance.

"This is a long-term plan. It is allocated in five years. On average, there is not much every year."

Wu Yi said.

"If you build these boats and put them on the riverside for viewing, there are not many. The total plan is 20 million yuan, which is only 5 million yuan a year."

Wu Changqing continued to complain.

What's the use of a ship built? It has to be equipped with artillery and combat personnel. These are all money.

These personnel need to eat, drink, and pay, and there are still very few qualified navies. These people still need training. These costs far exceed the cost of the warship itself.

In addition to the maintenance costs in the later period, if this plan is really approved, then the cost to the Navy will not be less than 15 million yuan per year.

At present, the total military expenditure of the military is only 47 million, and there will be some reductions next year, which is estimated to be 40 million at most.

In this way, the army can only be divided into 25 million. The problem is that the army has to support 800,000 people, and the total navy strength is only about 30,000.

In other words, the cost of raising a navy is about sixteen times that of an army.

This is too much, the army might be upset.

"About ten million a year, judging from the current economic growth rate, this is really not much."

Wu Yi simply took into account the economic growth rate. According to the rapid development of Dahua now, the annual tax revenue may reach three or four billion yuan in five years.

If this is the case, more than 10 million a year is really not much.

"Okay, don't fight with me, redo the plan and cut my budget in half. Moreover, the focus of warship manufacturing will also change. If the number of warships is enough, build more transport ships.

When it comes to overseas land, it is mainly to rely on the army to fight. "

Wu Changqing counterattacked and paid half of it.

He will not be fooled by Wu Yi, although this year's economic growth rate is very terrifying, maybe it can reach 50%.

However, as the volume becomes larger and larger, this growth rate will definitely show a downward trend.

"Will half be too little, just a Divine Emperor..."

"Stop, don't mention the God Emperor."

Wu Changqing interrupted him and continued: "Don't worry about the big ship, take the current level of technology into consideration. Without excellent welding technology, the 10,000-ton giant ship may have to sink if it can't get out of the port.

All give me a pragmatic point, save money and invest in technology research and development. As long as the technology goes up, the 10,000-ton giant ship will be a trivial matter in the future. Sooner or later I will build a 100,000-ton giant ship, and then let you take the fleet to go around the world with beautiful scenery. "

Wu Changqing drew him a pie, and Wu Yi felt excited when he thought of driving a 100,000-ton battleship.

With 100,000 tons, he can't even imagine what it will be like.

"Your Majesty said that, I want to be transferred to the navy."

Wang Dayong said with emotion, after all, the navy's equipment seems to be more tall.

Compared with the navy, their army always feels like buns.

Even a cannon, a few cannons of two to three kilograms in the army is the limit.

As for the navy, five or six kilograms of cannons can be loaded casually, and even ten thousand kilograms of cannons are being developed for the navy in the arsenal.

That kind of artillery, one shot is estimated to be able to blast the walls of the city.
