Xia Li smiled and said shamelessly: "If you don't have enough money, why don't you give me two more ships?"
Mr. Liu:? ? ?
Xia Li looked at Mr. Liu's face that was gradually becoming distorted. He pretended not to see it at all, and his explanation was quite simple: "You have to sell scrap metal by the pound anyway, so what's the use of keeping it?
I went to see them before and none of them were intact.
If there are three or four ships, I can still dismantle them and patch them up, and put those ships together to form a pretty good ship. "
As he spoke, he directly hit Mr. Liu’s pain point with words, “Think about it, that little broken boat has scraped out all the scrap metal, can one weigh a hundred tons?
The current price of scrap iron is less than 10 cents. How much can you sell for scrap iron? Twenty or thirty thousand yuan?
But think about it, how much would it cost to build a warship? Even if it is a small warship, it must be at least ten or twenty times larger, right? "
It has to be said that Xia Li's words directly touched Mr. Liu's sore spot.
As a border garrison, the South Island Corps has no shortage of soldiers, but the most lacking thing is weapons.
The country is extremely poor now, and it is impossible to equip them with any sophisticated weapons, let alone give him a warship for no reason.
If we can really build a useful battleship, it will be much better than selling scrap metal for tens of thousands of yuan!
Mr. Liu was already a little bit indebted for not getting much funding for Xia Li, so he agreed after a little thought.
“Okay, you choose.
But there is one thing, you can change it, but you can't make it too ostentatious.
You can't do things like applying red paint or wearing streamers all over your body. "
Xia Li:...?
The expression on Xia Li's face was a little strange, and he looked at Mr. Liu with complicated eyes, as if looking at an unreasonable old man, "Why do you have such strange ideas?"
A red ship with streamers sailed to Shanghai. For those who didn’t know, they thought it was a ghost ship. Who could match such a color?
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Liu heard what she said, the expression on his face was more complicated than hers.
"Li Qingnan, are you the one who made you a child?"
Xia Li:......
I always feel that this beginning is the reason why I was tricked through the air.
"What's up with him?"
The look on Master Liu's face was hard to describe, and he said in an indescribable tone: "I heard that he raised a military dog after he went to the Northeast, and it was a beautiful black-backed dog.
But he felt that the military dog was not majestic enough, so he used red paint and ginseng hair wax to give the dog a hairstyle and tied a green ribbon around its neck.
I thought you both came from the same compound, and your relationship is so good, so your thinking must be somewhat in common, right? "
Xia Li:......
Xia Li had a straight face, with rejection written all over it, and said decisively: "No, absolutely not!"
Don’t be fooled by little comments!
Mr. Liu didn't believe this at all.
Before, he felt that Xia Li was difficult to lead, so he complained to his old comrades that it was difficult to lead the soldiers under his command. As a result, his comrades had a stronger desire to complain than he did, so he immediately told all about Li Qingnan.
I've only been there for two months, and I wish I could make the Northeast Corps miserable.
The two of them complained indignantly for a long time. After a final check, they found that the two pricks came from the same compound. They had played together since they were young and had a very good relationship.
The two of them were curious and asked someone how the other children in their compound were doing, and they heard about two other weirdos who had played well with Xia Li and the others since childhood.
One was married at a young age to a senior member of the Revolutionary Committee who was in his fifties. He tried to trick the people who had harmed her every day. The other person had already made a name for himself in the five cities and three streets. He was a well-known gangster. The younger officials had to nod and bow to him.
That's okay, maybe all the kids in their compound are like that.
A little tired, he waved his hand to Xia Li, "Go ahead and do it, don't make too much noise.
I can't station people at the shipyard, so be careful. "
Xia Li didn't want to stay in this place that would make her dig her feet into the ground in embarrassment, so she decisively agreed: "Then I'll leave first."
Xia Li had been looking forward to these three ships for several days. Now that he had received them, he felt very good and ran to the secret research base that night.
A group of old researchers were very happy when they heard that there were three battleships for them to modify.
Under Xia Li's instigation, everyone secretly went to the backyard of the shipyard where the ships were parked.
Lu Dingyuan stood at the door of the backyard, leaning against the wall with a leisurely look, looking out for the wind and smoking.
Xia Li and a group of researchers went in to see what the prototype of the modified ship would look like.
Everyone came excitedly, but when they arrived at the backyard of the shipyard, everyone fell silent.
The dark night sky, because the sky is a bit overcast, almost no stars and moon can be seen.
There are several stranded ships floating on the shore, swaying here and there, like the ruins of stranded ships.
The sea breeze blew slightly at night, which was salty, humid, and a bit bitingly cold.
Dark night, old dock, cold wind, broken ship...
No matter how these four words are arranged, they all make people feel gloomy and their hearts feel cold.
Si Qiuyu took a flashlight and looked back and forth at the ghost ships, her voice trembling a little, "Li Li, are the ships you want to transform the ones in front of you?"
Xia Li: "Ah."
Si Qiuyu:......
