after one day.

Platform of Imperial Capital Railway Station.

The huge black locomotive spewed out a huge burst of steam, ready to take off.

On the platform, General Chen and Li Dingyuan were patting Fang Yu's shoulders and saying goodbye reluctantly.

"Fang Yu, Lao Jiang has a stubborn temper. Don't take what happened yesterday to heart..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I understand! In fact, General Jiang is so angry because I spoke without consideration. If I were in General Jiang's shoes, I would have the same attitude."

Hearing this, Fang Yu smiled calmly.

"As long as you understand, take your time building the warships. There's no rush..."

"Don't give up!"

General Chen said with obvious relief upon hearing this.

He was afraid that Fang Yu would forget about the shipbuilding plan because of Jiang Chaoyang's rude attitude towards him yesterday.

After all, Fang Yu has plenty of work on hand, such as helping Longguo manufacture more automatic machine tools to achieve industrialization, and researching more new weapons to increase the odds for Longguo's soldiers to defeat the United States...

Any reason can be used to postpone something like shipbuilding, which is not a high priority.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I, Fang Yu, always stick to my words. The deadline remains unchanged. Come pick up the boat from me in three months."

Fang Yu nodded and spoke slowly.

"..."

Upon hearing this, General Chen was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

"By the way, your expansion and renovation of the Northeastern Military Factory has already been approved by the higher-ups."

"However, it will take some time to allocate manpower and resources. Mr. Wu asked me to inform you so that you don't have to worry."

"No rush, no rush. Since it was approved by President Wu himself, what else should I worry about?"

Hearing this, Fang Yu said happily.

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet, don't be so happy."

Seeing Fang Yu's excitement, General Chen said helplessly.

"It's true that the higher-ups have approved manpower and resources for you, but you also know that our Dragon Nation has just been established and is short of everything."

"Plus, with the fighting on the front lines, the national treasury is indeed not very well-off."

"So, you'll need to wait a little longer for the funds to build the new base..."

Hearing this, Fang Yu's smile froze on his face.

A flash of loss passed by.

However, Fang Yu also knew that the top leaders of Longguo were not deliberately shirking responsibility, but they really had no money.

When the cannon is fired, there is a thousand taels of gold.

With the current financial situation of Dragon Country, it is already very difficult to maintain the logistics of nearly 200,000 soldiers on the front line.

Not to mention that you have to set aside a portion to support yourself.

However, this hint of loss only stayed on Fang Yu's face for a second.

Then, Fang Yu rolled his eyes and asked General Chen.

"Mr. Chen, am I right in understanding what you're saying? That means the country has already prepared the resources and talent, and all that's missing is the funding?"

"In that case, I'll take care of the funds myself, and we can get started right away?"

"That's true, but... where are you going to get so much money by yourself?"

Hearing this, General Chen was stunned and looked at Fang Yu with a questioning look on his face.

"Do you know how much money it costs to build a modern military factory? That's an astronomical figure!"

"Don't worry, I have a plan. I'll just need the country's help. I can earn the money to expand the new military industrial base myself!"

Fang Yu was full of confidence and said, patting his chest.

"Fang Yu, you're not planning on doing anything crooked, are you? You have to know that some things are untouchable..."

Hearing this, General Chen's expression became serious, and he stared at Fang Yu and said.

In his impression, there seems to be a way to make a lot of money quickly.

That is to grow plants and then sell their extracts for money!

The entire Dragon Kingdom was almost destroyed because of this thing.

It was because of this thing that the Dragon Nation began its century-long humiliation...

"Mr. Chen, what are you thinking? Why would I do something like this?"

Seeing General Chen's expression, Fang Yu instantly realized that the other party had misunderstood and quickly explained.

"I assure you that the way I, Fang Yu, make money is absolutely legal and compliant!"

"It's just that in the final stage of realization, we need to rely on the power of the state."

"What on earth are you trying to do? Why are you being so mysterious?"

General Chen asked with a frown upon hearing this.

"Mr. Chen, have you ever heard of diamonds?"

Fang Yu heard General Chen's question and asked back with a smile.

"Diamonds? Of course I know. After all, I studied in France. How could I not know about this?"

"This thing is a luxury even in the West and is very expensive."

"Why? Are you planning to sell this? But I don't remember there being any diamond mines in the Northeast."

"You don't need to worry about that!"

Fang Yu chuckled.

"All you have to do for me is to use your channels in Hong Kong to sell these diamonds to those foreigners after I get them!"

"Is it that simple? That's not impossible..."

General Chen rubbed his nose and said after hearing this.

"Wait, how did you know we have channels in Hong Kong Island?"

"secret!"

Hearing this, Fang Yu smiled brightly.

Behind him, the huge locomotive blew its whistle again.

Before Marshal Chen could react, Fang Yu hurried into the carriage, leaned out and waved goodbye.

As the train began to move, it soon disappeared at the end of the railway...

"This kid, I really don't know which stone this monkey came out of, he's so cunning..."

Marshal Chen smiled bitterly and sighed.

"However, if our Dragon Country had more young people like Fang Yu, there would be no need to worry about not prospering..."

……

after an hour.

On the train, in a separate compartment.

Fang Yu began to write furiously.

At the speed of an old-fashioned steam locomotive like this, it would probably take two days and one night to travel from the capital of Longguo to the Northeast Military Factory.

Taking advantage of this time, Fang Yu decided to copy the drawings of the "artificial diamond manufacturing machine" from his mind.

Yes, just now, Fang Yu spent 10,000 technology points to exchange the blueprints and manufacturing technology of the "artificial diamond manufacturing machine" from the system.

He took the first great step in his money-making plan...
