Chapitre 542: The Naval Trials are Done (2/2)

Vijay had heard enough and was satisfied with the ships so far, but he had to ask the main question: "Gangadhar, so tell me, what's the cost of each of these ships for our navy to procure?"

Since all four knew that His Majesty had already passed a naval expansion bill, which would involve the empire investing 161,764,705.88 Varaha, or 5.5 tonnes of gold, in order to build the second generation of the Bharatiya Navy, they were keen on ensuring that these resources were not spent wastefully.
