Lieutenant Colonel Newen nodded, looked at the frigate flying the flag of the Candela Empire Navy in the distance, and a hint of admiration flashed across his face, saying, "President Xu, I must admit that the frigate produced by your New Flying Chamber of Commerce is really... so easy to use. +◆ During this period, I directed it to gallop back and forth on the endless sea, many times stronger than riding on those old wooden boats before... "

When Russell and the people around him frowned when he heard Lieutenant Colonel Newn keep talking about the various advantages of the frigate as soon as he spoke.

Seeing that Lieutenant Colonel Newn still had no intention of stopping, Russell suddenly coughed heavily.

"...We easily caught up with those pirates, and then we easily..."

Lieutenant Colonel Newen's voice stopped abruptly. He turned his head to look at Russell, and felt aroused in his heart. He immediately understood. He quickly coughed lightly, smiled at Xu Yi in embarrassment, and continued: "Of course, President Xu, if you want to talk about the shortcomings of this frigate, there are also some."

"Oh? Please speak."

"Uh..." Lieutenant Colonel Newn hesitated for a moment before he said a little hesitantly: "This frigate is very good in other aspects, but there is a serious problem, which is that it consumes too much. You see, for every 100 kilometers we sail on the sea, we need to use at least two heavy magic crystals. In this way, we must leave a large warehouse space for loading magic crystals. In addition, the load capacity on the frigate is actually limited, so the range is actually not ideal. You know, if we used wooden sea boats in the past, we could run as far as we wanted."

"Before you run far enough, the boat itself will collapse first." Xu Yi rolled his eyes in his heart. However, he still kept a smile on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Well. This is indeed a problem. But Lieutenant Colonel Newen, I think... you should just buy those ordinary magic crystals on the market as power supply, right?"

Lieutenant Colonel Newen was stunned: "Is there any problem with this? In addition, we did not buy inferior magic crystals, but the highest quality magic crystals that can be purchased. Because this, just last month alone, the Morning Light ship cost more than 200 gold coins."

"Is that true?" Xu Yi smiled and turned to look at Russell. "Mr. Russell, I remember that when I handed over this frigate, we handed over a manual to you at the same time. If you remember correctly, it should be clearly marked on it. It is best to use the high-concentration magic crystals produced by our New Flying Chamber of Commerce as power energy, and it is best not to use the ordinary magic crystals commonly found on the market."

Newman looked at Russell in shock.

Lord Russell didn't tell him about this, and he had never seen the shadow of the so-called manual.

Russell's expression moved slightly and said in a deep voice: "It's true that there is this manual, but this book has been left in the General Staff for research for a while, so I haven't handed it over to you."

After saying that, he turned to Xu Yi, snorted softly, and continued: "The reason for this is to do so is that this frigate has been in the hands of our Imperial Navy. After all, we have to adapt to the situation here, but we cannot do exactly what your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce said."

Xu Yi couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This Russell, on the surface, seemed very willing to accept new things, and even persuaded the Candela Empire Navy to buy three frigates from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at all costs, but he was still a very conservative guy at heart.

What is said that frigates must adapt to the situation in the Kander Empire? It is clear that these three frigates can be as low as possible without being affected by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce and can be completely controlled by the Kander Empire Navy.

But unfortunately, his idea was good, but in fact he was a big mistake.

The frigates produced by the New Air Chamber of Commerce are far different from those wooden sea ships in the past. Compared with the traditions on the Sainz continent, this thing is an extremely advanced high-tech product.

If the Candela Empire Navy still wants to treat it in the way it treats an ordinary sea ship, it can only be asking for trouble.

Isn't the reason why I was invited this time was because they couldn't use this frigate, and they were forced to ask for help from me.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi's face turned slightly cold and said seriously: "Mr. Russell, I must tell you very seriously that this frigate is a high-tech product with a very high technical content, even far beyond your understanding of the Navy and your country. It is definitely not as simple as you think. If you use it according to the various precautions we provide, it will inevitably bring you strong help. But if you want to do it yourself... then I can only say that you are responsible for the consequences."

Russell and the officers of the Candela Empire Navy beside him all changed their faces.

Xu Yi's words were simply ridiculing and threatening them nakedly.

However, the fact that the frigate cannot continue to be used is now in front of them, but they have no way to refute it.

Moreover, this frigate has indeed shown extremely powerful performance in the past few months, and has completely convinced everyone in the Kandra Empire Navy, making the Imperial Navy believe that the wooden sea ships in the past will inevitably be replaced by this brand new frigate made of steel that is almost like a sea fortress.

Therefore, although they have countless dissatisfaction with the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce, they are still forced to take the initiative to invite the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce to negotiate and strive to promote in-depth cooperation between the two sides.

Russell was silent for a moment with a calm face, took a light breath, his face calmed down, and made a gesture to Xu Yi.

"Okay, President Xu, let's sit down and have a good talk about these things. Please."

Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that as expected, they had to surrender to reality in the end.

The group entered the Candela Empire Naval Barracks near the port and sat in a spacious room that looked like a combat conference room.

Russell first introduced Xu Yi to various people on his side as the master, and the two sides quickly got to the point.

The main purpose of the Kander Empire Navy invited Xu Yi to come was of course to allow the frigate to continue to operate smoothly and normally, and to ensure that the Kander Empire Navy can also use it smoothly in the future.

To put it bluntly, this frigate can be regarded as an experiment they have done. This allows the Imperial Navy to learn and master the operation and application of this new frigate as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the Imperial Navy to fully replace ships in the future.

Therefore, the focus of negotiation between the two sides mainly focused on the subsequent maintenance of frigates.

The Candela Empire Navy certainly hopes that the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce can disclose all maintenance and maintenance technology to them, and ultimately allows them to complete maintenance and maintenance by themselves even if they leave it aside.

However, Xu Yi told them straightforwardly that it was impossible.

The reason why it is so direct is not entirely because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is unwilling, but because the main reason is that the Candela Empire Navy does not meet this condition at all.

When it comes to the maintenance of frigates, the most important problem is the replacement of parts necessary for parts damage.

However, all the parts on this frigate were built by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention that the Kandra Empire did not meet this condition, even the Lampari Kingdom, which had a very strong foundation in the magic industry, did not meet the conditions.

Only the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can make the special steel required for these parts. The technology for creating these parts is currently only mastered by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even the corresponding magic processing machine tools are only owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Simply put, no chamber of commerce or organization can solve this problem except the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So even if Xu Yi was willing to hand over all the subsequent maintenance to the Kandra Empire Navy, they could not do it at all.

Although the Kander Empire Navy was not convinced, it had to admit this fact. After fierce discussions between the two sides, the Kander Empire Navy had to accept the solution proposed by the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce. That is, the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce will ensure all the subsequent maintenance and maintenance of these frigates of the Kander Empire Navy to ensure that they can operate smoothly.

For this reason, the Kandra Empire Navy had to pay a considerable maintenance fee to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Daily maintenance is quite cheap, but the maintenance cost is really scary.

For example, the reason why the frigate currently parked in the port is unable to operate is based on the results of the previous inspection by the engineers sent by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. The Kandra Empire Navy did not follow the operating manuals provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to exceed the power source output limit, resulting in damage to the magic array output as the power source, and thus unable to continue to operate.

The magic circle is the core of this frigate, and it is of course very serious when it has problems.

According to the assessment made by the New Air Chamber of Commerce, if you want to repair it, you may have to pull the frigate back to the New Air Chamber of Commerce's shipyard in the Principality of Stantin.

Because the Kandra Empire does not have any conditions here, it cannot provide the environment needed to repair it.

This goes back and forth, plus the required materials and labor, the cost is naturally quite large.

On behalf of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi offered up repair fees of up to 70,000 gold coins to the Kandra Empire Navy without hesitation.

Although the Candela Empire Navy was extremely dissatisfied with this amazing cost, Xu Yi did not give up at all, and they ended up having to pinch their noses and admit it.

After all, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can choose not to repair it, but they can’t help but use it.

Looking at the fierce look of the Candela Empire Navy officers, including Russell, who looked like they were about to eat themselves, Xu Yi smiled slightly and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

When we agreed to sell each ship with fifty gold coins and various additional conditions to three frigates of the Kander Empire Navy, many people at the Chamber of Commerce opposed it because the price was too much. Even if there were additional conditions, they still lost too much.

But Xu Yi insisted on agreeing, but in fact he had already taken into account today's situation.

As long as the Kandra Empire Navy has a frigate, it will definitely be possible to discover that the frigate has an incomparable advantage over traditional wooden sea ships and will inevitably continue to be used.

As long as they use it, they can only be forced to accept the relevant subsequent maintenance conditions proposed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce like today.

Whether it is the Navy of the Candela Empire or the guys in the Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid they don’t know that compared to the one-time sale of such things, subsequent maintenance and maintenance are the real most profitable places.

This method is extremely skilled in many Western countries on the earth with leading technology, including many backward countries in China, suffered great losses.
