Chapter 792
"So will the floating ship cooperate with the airship for an armed parade?" Perficot listened to Queen Anne's plan and immediately remembered the Navy's shipbuilding plan that she rejected. "Yes, although the generals of the Admiral Department suggested a large-scale armed parade and dispatch twelve large floating ships, the Empire does not have the financial resources to support the armed parade of the twelve large floating ships." Queen Anne nodded and said, "The Empire now has no money to build twelve large floating ships. These guys in the Admiral Department are really thinking about their warships!" "Isn't that the military department like this? Whether it is the navy or the army, they only consider one problem. "Perficote is not surprised by this. She has already appreciated enough of these guys: "So you plan to let the floating city cruise this time?" "
"Yes, compared to things like floating ships, floating city can better deter the colonies, right? We can even drive the floating city back to the empire and the old world to deter the old world." Queen Anne has now learned how to look at the problem from the perspective of a queen. Although the details may be debatable, the overall idea is correct.
Perficott nodded in agreement.
But she shook her head and said, "This matter requires long-term planning. If it is just to simply let the Floating City cooperate with the fleet to run, it is indeed not troublesome, but to achieve the effect of force deterrence, it must be long-term planning.
Especially in the old world, the gods are all there now, and we must carefully consider any action. Otherwise, the war will be triggered in advance before the war preparations are completed, and the empire will not be able to withstand it."
Perficote's biggest purpose in creating the Floating City is to prepare for the attack of the gods as Ailie said.
If you provoke the gods or make an offensive posture before all this is ready, it is very likely that the war will be triggered in advance, and even the gods who have not originally planned to end will end, and things will become out of control at that time.
So although Perficote is actively preparing, she is particularly cautious in dealing with this matter.
After all, one of her decisions may be the life and death of all mankind, and she cannot help but be at will.
She herself may not have to care about these things. After all, the gods have recruited her a lot. Even today, there are still gods who are thinking about pulling her into the camp of the gods, but Perficot must consider ordinary people. "With that being said, if the empire can re-incorporate the colonies and bring together the resources of the colonies, it should also be helpful to your plan, right?" Queen Anne said slowly at Perficot.
Perficot agrees with this.
After all, if the resources of each colony can be gathered together, it is indeed a very huge number. Not to mention a floating city module, even if she built all the floating city modules in her design, it would not be a problem to really create a floating city she imagined.
But if you want to bring together the resources of each colony together, it is not just as simple as deterrence by force.
"This matter is easier said than done. Martial deterrence can only ensure that the colonies are obedient. It is not easy to gather resources." Perficot shook his head slightly and sighed: "Whether it is the mining of resources or the transportation of materials, it requires a lot of prerequisite investment.
Although many things are ready-made, it is difficult for us to solve the problem of transportation. Aircraft are not freighters, and it is difficult to carry out large-scale transportation.
Even aerial ships are difficult to transport large-scale resources. They need to design a type of transport ship, and the cost will be very high. Flying transport is not like sea transportation, and its cost surge is very serious."
In Perficote's view, this is like air freight and sea freight in the original world. The sea freight is carried by bulk cargo. Of course, the high-value small-batch cargo is more suitable by air freight. After all, no one has ever heard of anyone using airplanes to transport copper ore?
Although floating ships and airships are not as expensive as air transport, they are not cheap.
Not to mention the construction costs of floating ships and airships, flying this thing also requires fuel consumption. Now it is no longer the past. Ocean freezing, mines and railways have been greatly affected, and the routes have also been cut off. For air navigation, there must be a supply ship with enough fuel to complete a long-distance navigation, otherwise there will be no place to refuel in the middle.
Although it is not impossible to float by buoyancy, the speed will be too slow.
"What about the floating city? Can a module specifically for freight transportation be transformed?" Queen Anne has done an investigation, she has still considered some considerations about this matter.
Hearing Queen Anne say this, Perficote frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's OK, but the initial investment is quite huge. It's a city, not a ship or something!
The expense of building a floating city is equivalent to two-thirds of the fiscal revenue and industrial and mining output in the North's year. This is based on my expansion of industrial and mining capacity in the North.
If you want to do this, the initial investment will be very huge. The empire's fiscal revenue will be poured into at least three years, and we may not have three years, or even one year."
Perficote put forward a somewhat embarrassing fact.
Or, a somewhat cruel fact.
The future of mankind may not be even a year, and the gods may launch another attack at any time. Perficot must concentrate all the resources that can be used to deal with this matter.

Although she also understood that sharpening her knives would not delay cutting wood. If the colonial resources could be effectively utilized, she could better deal with the subsequent war, but time would not allow her to do so. "This is really a situation that makes people laugh!" Queen Anne couldn't help but sigh, feeling a sense of powerlessness and nowhere to be used.
Perficote sighed helplessly, but she still said to Queen Anne: "Maybe there are other ways. I'll go back and think about it. Maybe there is a way to solve this problem."
"Then please! If anything is needed, the royal family and the empire will fully support you." Queen Anne made the maximum promise she could make.
Perfico nodded, saying nothing more.
If she could, she also hoped that things would have a better solution, after all, the chances of winning the war with the gods would be much greater.
