"Well, I have contacted our embassy and spoke with Francis. According to him, the cost of a single Pune-class battleship is only around 3,500 ducats, and the construction could be done within six months if it is an order for one or two ships. But if the number of ships built is more, the construction time could be shortened even further."
"What!"
"H-How is this p-possible?"
Antonio exclaimed, and Marco was in disbelief. Although they had expected the cost to be low, they did not expect it to be less than half of their construction costs.
"That's the same cost we rent the warships from England and the Dutch. Where the hell do these guys make money?" Antonio said, his tone a little depressed.
"And what the hell does it mean the more we order, the faster the delivery? How does that even make sense?" Antonio questioned.
