"To be honest, from what I've seen of the Chang Tang fleet, I don't think the Western Lands' navy can bolster your naval strength much with their rickety boats. As for the weapons, I think I'll have to see them for myself." Durin spoke as he handed a wine-filled cup to Lin Xiangguo with the Mage Hand.
Lin Xiangguo glanced at the fine wine in the cup and finally sighed, "For you to say this, I trust you. The fleet captains involved in trade have mentioned it before, that your Western Lands are still using wooden planks in shipbuilding. We, on the other hand, employ ironclads to combat the Puppet Bone. All our old wooden ships have been handed over for civilian use."
"Including the four-deck battleships, right?" Durin asked with a smile.
"Yes, they can't withstand the Puppet Bone's cannons. Wooden battleships are nothing more than targets, and the navy can't afford any more losses," Lin Xiangguo said.
