The reason why Cao Cao wants to make himself the prime minister is not the main reason. The main reason is that Cao Cao wants to increase Cao Ang's reputation and pave the way. After all, he will become the emperor in the future , and then the man who becomes the emperor!
Before he became the emperor, his reputation, the support of the people, and his great achievements were indispensable. If these things were missing, maybe it would really affect something.
For such a thing, Cao Cao thought so in his heart, and Cao Ang knew such a situation in his heart.
However, this matter is very clear in Cao Cao's mind. Isn't it clear in Cao Ang's mind?
For such a thing, Cao Ang was very clear in his heart, if it wasn't for this, then Cao Ang would never accept the canonization of the prime minister.
In Cao Ang's heart, what Cao Cao didn't know was that Cao Ang didn't really care that much about the position of the emperor, and he wasn't even that interested.
The reason for such an idea is mainly because this matter is the same for Cao Cao and Cao Ang.
At that time, whether it is that Cao Cao became the emperor or that Cao Ang became the emperor, the situation of the two will be the same, and there will be no difference at all.
Anyway, no matter who is in charge, it will be Cao Ang who will take over at the end of the day, and it will be Cao Ang who will carry this heavy burden.

Chapter 462
Another point is that although Cao Ang has never been an emperor, he knows very well that being an emperor is not a good thing.
Not to mention being busy every day, you can't even get out of the palace. Isn't the emperor Liu Xie a living example?
You see how happy Liu Xie became after he was able to leave the palace?
Cao Ang didn't want to spend the rest of his life in this palace as if he was living in a prison at a young age. Such a situation was not good for Cao Ang...
Chapter 463
There is also the technology of cement and steel. After continuous research, the current cement and steel have also undergone a new combination, which is stronger and more durable than before.
Under such circumstances, the ship has a very strong shell, which greatly deepens the defense capability of the ship. Such a situation is also a very shocking development.
Such a brand new steam ship, developed in this era, is simply a monster.
In the eyes of everyone, this brand new steam engine is like the sleeping monster in the water, now appearing on the surface of the water.
Zhuge Liang came to Cao Ang at this time, so he introduced: "General... Your Excellency, the steam ship you see now was developed by us after a year of hard work. This steam ship Now it is completely powered by that steam engine!"
"The advantages of this steamship are countless. Whether it is in terms of size, power, or carrying capacity, it kills the steamships before it every minute. The most important thing is that the steamship can sail. The distance is so far that you can even sail on this sea for a month without supplies!"
Hearing this, Cao Ang was very shocked. This situation was so true that Cao Ang could not have imagined that the steamship could develop to such a degree in this year, which is really unimaginable.
After Zhuge Liang saw Cao Ang's appearance, he was even more excited, and then Zhuge Liang said again: "The advantages of this steam ship are not only that!"
"Compared to the previous generation of steam ships, the current steam power system can be said to be very powerful, not to mention very high stability, and other aspects are even more rigid. It is impossible to destroy this new type of ship. Possible things!"
After Cao Ang heard Zhuge Liang's words, he was not to mention how satisfied he was.
Only after a year has passed, it can be said that this steam ship has undergone a complete and complete change from the beginning to the end, and this situation is really shocking.
Compared with the newly developed steam ship, the current steam ship has not improved by a single star, and it can be said that it has been upgraded to become a very advanced existence.
In fact, when Cao Ang entrusted this matter to Zhuge Liang, he thought that it would be enough for Zhuge Liang to build a ship similar to the warship of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, in the current dynasty, no matter what it does, as long as it is more advanced than the current one, it is very good.
However, what Cao Ang did not expect was that he really underestimated the abilities of the craftsmen of this era, and even underestimated the talents of Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, and Ma Jun and others!
It is precisely because they underestimated their abilities and creativity that Cao Ang was shocked now.
He, Cao Ang, really did not expect that such a situation would happen in this dynasty, and it would happen so quickly. After all, it has only been a year, and it has become so powerful. Cao Ang really did not expect .
But now, this huge ship is lying on the water like a monster, giving people a strong sense of awe.
Such a powerful deterrence is no longer something that Ming Dynasty ships can trust you. Even the prestigious Ming Dynasty treasure ships cannot be compared with the current steam ships.
However, the Great Ming Treasure Ship of the Ming Dynasty was not completely without advantages. In comparison, the Great Ming Treasure Ship surpassed the steam ship in front of it both in terms of size and load.
The reason why this happened is not because of other reasons, mainly because the steam ship is now using the steam engine, which already has weight in itself, and it needs to hit very important things such as artillery. His original bearing capacity has naturally dropped a lot.
And under such circumstances, this steam ship naturally has no way to compare with the great Ming treasure ship.
In addition, the Great Ming Treasure Ship has sails on it. To be precise, the Great Ming Treasure Ship is a type of sail ship.
As long as it is windy, it can sail, and it can even be used for sailing to the West, or even in other farther places.
And the steam ship is mainly used to burn coal. For such a situation, in this vast ocean, if there is no fuel for the shares, then the steam ship is just a big monster that can levitate.
If the stored fuel is exhausted, the steam ship will completely lose power. Under such circumstances, the endurance will definitely be reduced.
Due to the problem of poor endurance, this steam ship still cannot be used to sail on the sea.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether the ship can sail on the sea or not.
Because, the steamship ship was not built for navigation, because the steamship ship is only a ship used for surface warfare, whether it is on the surface of a lake or a river, such a ship can have a very large effect.
If the first generation of steam ships belonged to inland warships, then the ship that is placed in front of everyone now belongs to the kind that can gallop in the inland sea, and can also travel back and forth between various islands. ship.
Because such ships need to replenish fuel, there are requirements on the sailing distance, so they can only operate in places close to the port, and belong to a type of offshore destroyer.
Of course, the purpose now is to build this offshore destroyer, in order to complete the task under the current situation!
Now that the offshore warships have been manufactured, will the ocean-going warships be far behind?
Of course it won't be far!
So far, Cao Ang is very satisfied with this steam ship, basically meeting everything he wants.
"What is the combat effectiveness of this new ship now?"
Cao Ang thought about it, and then asked Zhuge Liang.
This kind of problem is the key. The reason why this steam ship was built is to deal with the Soochow Navy and Liu Biao's navy on the water.
Because it needs to fight on water, the combat effectiveness of this steam ship is a problem that cannot be avoided at all.
After Zhuge Liang heard the words of Prime Minister Cao Ang, he was also very excited and said: "Returning to the Prime Minister, this new generation of steam ships is now equipped with thunderbolt barrels and incendiary barrels, and every new steam ship is equipped with Equipped with twenty cannons, ten on the left and right sides, and the distance of the cannons has also been increased!"
"Now the combat power of this new type of ship can be said to be very powerful, it is simply several times higher than the previous combat power!"
Chapter 464
Zhuge Liang also attached great importance to the combat power of this steam ship, and made very significant changes.
Therefore, after Zhuge Liang heard what the prime minister Cao Ang said, he was very excited about this question.
