Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

"With this money, we can get through this year," Qin Lin said to Jian Nanchun, "I know you have reserved funds for the development of the group this year for your 11.8 billion, so I won't leave you much. I'll give you 8 million for emergencies, and I'll take the remaining 11 billion."

"no problem."

Jian Nanchun took a sip of tea and said, "My Dongsheng Group has reserved 2 million as reserve funds, and the group still has hundreds of millions of working capital on its books, so there will be no problem of capital shortage."

"That's good," Qin Lin said, "You still need to expand the production of Shengyao Group. I believe that in this New Year, the consumption of special medicine will be even greater, because the advantages of the wounded soldiers have been demonstrated and are worth a thousand gold. Therefore, the Black Continent region will definitely purchase this special medicine on a large scale."

"Don't worry, Marshal," Jian Nanchun responded, "We have built more than 30 factories throughout the northwest region, which can produce enough special medicines to fully meet market demand."

"That's good."

Qin Lin nodded and said, "I feel relieved to leave the group to you!"

After saying that, Qin Lin gave a few more instructions, and the three Gods of Wealth left. After leaving Qin Lin's office, the three went straight to the toilet because they drank too much tea.

Qin Lin was counting the accounts in the office. He now had an extra 24.85 billion yuan in funds, and he had to return 10 billion yuan to the four major banks. So half of it was used up at once. Nearly 25 billion yuan seemed like a lot, but it was really not enough to use.

Today, the Qin family's army alone has reached 170 million troops, and the military pay has increased a little, reaching 7 yuan per month. In other words, the Qin family's army will need to spend 1.5 million yuan a year on military pay alone.

There are also 5 air force soldiers, with an average salary of 50 yuan a month, which is 3000 million a year. There are also 10 civil servants, with an average salary of 10 yuan, which is 1200 million a year. And 40 national security personnel, with an average salary of 5 yuan, which is 2400 million a year. The Qin family needs to spend 2.16 million a year on military salaries alone.

"Hey!"

Qin Lin sighed and said, no wonder the court had to borrow money from Tsarist Russia and the United States to support these one million new troops. Now the court already had a loan of 6 million yuan. Qin Lin could understand that if he didn't have the Dongsheng Group and the purge by the Ministry of State Security, the money would probably not be enough and he would have to go out and beg!

Fortunately, after the money was spent, 5000 armored tanks and more than 3000 fighter jets could be converted into cash. With these armored fighter jets, the Qin army would naturally stand up straight and no longer have to bend over and suffer bullying.

Ten army corps, 31 flying divisions, sixteen provinces and two prefecture-level cities, this is Qin Lin's confidence. Even if the great powers want to bully him, Qin Lin, they cannot do so recklessly and have to consider it.

What the Qin family lacks now is a naval force. In the past five months, they have built two large shipyards in Guanghai Province and Guangyuan Province. Now they have been completed and are waiting for Qin Lin's acceptance.

In addition, the second batch of returnees have returned to China, totaling 1 people, including 1 professionals related to naval construction. These 8800 people have all joined the naval scientific research base, with its headquarters located in Guanghai Province.

So Qin Lin also planned to visit Guanghai Province and exchange the production drawings of naval warships.

Because if the Naval Research Institute is allowed to develop the warships on its own, the time it takes to do so will be measured in years. So once the blueprints are ready, the Naval Research Institute only needs to fully understand the contents of the blueprints before it can start developing and producing warships.

Now he has 150 million technology points, which are more than enough to exchange for warships.

The current development trend of global warships is mainly based on battleships. Take the Yamato-class battleships of the Oriental Country as an example. There are no less than 200 naval guns alone, and the caliber of the main gun reaches 460 mm. The full load displacement is more than 7 tons. It is known as the world's largest battleship. This is why the Oriental Country's navy can rank first in Hanzhou.

However, as time went by, the role of aircraft carriers began to gradually replace battleships, because aircraft carriers can carry carrier-based aircraft, while battleships are too large and will become the primary target of carrier-based bombers. Therefore, the global naval development trend has begun to move from the battleship era to the aircraft carrier era.

However, the current Oriental country still favors large-caliber battleships. Eight Yamato-class battleships have been built at a cost of more than 8 billion yen.

According to statistics from the Intelligence Bureau's overseas branch, the Japanese Navy now has 9 major fleets, with a total of 247 warships.

The 247 warships include 12 battleships and 10 aircraft carriers. Because the Eastern Kingdom does not attach much importance to aircraft carriers, they are all small aircraft carriers such as the Fengxiang class, and the technology is also very simple. Most of the energy is placed on battleships and submarines. Therefore, the Eastern Kingdom has 75 submarines, 112 destroyers, 18 heavy cruisers, and 20 light cruisers, with a total tonnage of 130 million, ranking fifth in the world.

However, Qin Lin knew from the perspective of future generations that aircraft carriers represent the era of sea power, so he would focus on aircraft carriers and develop cutting-edge naval overlords, followed by submarines, then destroyers, and finally heavy cruisers and battleships.

For aircraft carriers, the first design Qin Lin chose was the "Ark Royal" class aircraft carrier. This is an aircraft carrier with all modern features, a full-length flight deck, a starboard side island superstructure, aircraft catapults and arresting devices, various take-off and landing equipment, high freeboard and a closed bow. It fully possesses the features of a modern aircraft carrier, so Qin Lin's first choice was this aircraft carrier.

The Royal Ark aircraft carrier is 243.8 meters long, 28.9 meters wide, has a maximum speed of 30 knots, can carry 70 carrier-based aircraft, has a double-decker hangar, and has a full load displacement of 2.7 tons. It is considered a very advanced aircraft carrier, and the exchange price is 5 technology points.

After exchanging the production blueprints of the aircraft carrier, Qin Lin began to select submarines. He also attached great importance to submarines because they were known as warship killers, so he had to exchange for an advanced submarine. Of course, he would also exchange for an average submarine for the Navy Research Institute to practice, from zero to one.

The ordinary level is the Type XXIII submarine. The performance of this submarine is considered to be at a medium level at present, and it is given to scientific research institutes to try out.

This submarine is 34 meters long, 3 meters wide, with a tonnage of approximately 230 tons, an underwater speed of 12 knots, a diving depth of 160, a support capacity of 36 days, a crew of 14 people, and is equipped with 533 mm torpedoes. It only requires 1 technology points.

At most a few of this type of submarine will be produced for training. The most important thing is to develop the Type 21 submarine. At present, this submarine is almost a dominant level and can crush submarines from all over the world.
