Chapter 478 Naval Size
At 5:00 p.m. on June 7th in the third year of Tianxuan, after arranging the construction of four guard villages near the Zhongdao POW camp, Qu Mao returned to the Zhongdao Sea Fortress again, and prepared to take a warship from the Sea Fortress back to Jidao.
As soon as they entered the sea fortress, they heard that Sylvia Ocean and Foll Swamp were holding a military meeting with six other naval heroes.
When Qu Mao heard the news, he participated without hesitation. After walking into the meeting room of the naval barracks, he greeted the eight naval heroes one by one.
Sylvia Ocean asked: "My lord, why do you have time to inspect our naval sea fortress? Just in time for the gathering of naval heroes!"
Qu Mao said: "It's not a special visit to your sea fortress to inspect, but to go to the vicinity of the prisoner-of-war camp to discuss with Kong Ming and Hill Faran about building four guard villages outside the prisoner-of-war camp to enhance the security of the prisoner-of-war camp.
I originally planned to return to Jidao from the sea fortress, but I didn't expect that you were in a meeting. It just so happened that I had some new ideas about the size of the navy, so I came over to attend your meeting by the way. "
Several naval heroes quickly expressed their welcome to Qu Mao.
Qu Mao said: "After the battle with the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance is over, we are very likely to take the initiative to use troops against Liu Wang, so I still hope that the navy can be further expanded."
Full Swamp said with a smile: "My lord, strengthening the navy is definitely the wisest decision.
After all, we are a territory in the ocean. The navy must be stronger than the army to match the nature of our territory. It just so happens that we have received a large number of warships recently, which is a good time to officially expand the navy.
Master Silvia fished out 150 warships from the bottom of the sea. It is estimated that after all repairs are completed, at least 100 complete warships will be obtained.
Besides, in the last naval battle, we captured more than 100 warships. Even if all of them were installed in our own navy, the subordinates think that our navy can afford such a large scale.
All the installations are about 300 warships, and we have a territory of five islands. "
Sylvia Ocean said: "Fuer, don't talk nonsense, your lord will definitely take out some of the warships to sell for gold coins.
Next, there is a high probability that our territory of Yi Village will encounter a gold coin crisis. If the gold coin crisis is not resolved, it is basically impossible for the adults to actively convect the dukedom to use troops.
After this battle is over, with so many troops added to the army and new soldiers added to our navy, the military expenditure alone may consume more than 100,000 gold coins from our Yi Village territory at one time.
Without gold coins, it is a joke for us to use foreign troops and expand the navy. "
Qu Mao nodded, smiled wryly, and said: "Yes, what Sylvia said is true, but the development of the navy cannot be stagnant.
I remember that the navy had installed more than 100 warships before, but some of them may have been lost in the last naval battle..."
Sylvia Ocean rushed to say: "My lord, the subordinates of the lost warships have all been replaced, even including the sacrificed naval soldiers, the subordinates have already made up for it.
Our naval heroes held a military meeting, but they were also considering the size of the navy's warships. "
Sylvia Ocean nodded and said, "Yes, my lord.
The subordinates feel that the three subordinates, Mr. Fuer and Mr. Christine, each of them is equipped with 1 giant warship, 2 large warships, 10 medium warships, and 10 small warships, each forming a fleet of 23 warships. .
The other five naval heroes are each equipped with 1 large warship, 5 medium-sized warships, and 10 small warships, forming five fleets of 16 warships. "
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "Just tell me the total number of warships and how many soldiers the navy needs."
Fure Swanp pulled Lasylvia Ocean's coat, and Sylvia Ocean took a look at Fure Swanpe, and then said: "Sorry, my lord, my servant, Fure The warship led by Christine is composed of 33 warships, 10 small warships were missing just now.
Under this configuration, the Yicun territorial navy has a total of 3 giant warships, 11 large warships, 55 medium-sized warships, and 110 small warships. The total number of warships is 179.
Of course we captured 30 intact troop carriers of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance. Each of these 30 troop carriers can be equipped with 100 naval soldiers and transport 1,000 soldiers.
None of these 30 warships want to be sold, but they want to be installed in the navy, not under the name of any naval hero, as the navy's troop carrier, so that the total number of warships in the Yicun Territory Navy will reach 209 .
The number of naval personnel required on board is about 91,500. Counting a certain number of naval port shore-based personnel and naval barracks auxiliary personnel, the total number of naval personnel may reach about 100,000. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "100,000 soldiers, 209 warships, not too many."
Fuer Swamp seemed to see that Qu Mao was thinking twice, and said: "My lord, even with the configuration according to what Lord Sylvia said, we still have a total of 125 large warships, medium warships, and small warships. It's for sale."
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Okay, after the war with the third batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance, before we formally deploy troops to the Duchy of Convection, the navy can be configured according to the scale that Sylvia said, including warships. and Marines.
I will not take all of the other 125 other warships. Sylvia decides which warships to keep for future naval expansion.
Other warships only need to send 50 ships to Su Yan for sale. There will definitely be a gold coin crisis, but I am afraid it will not be as serious as you imagined.
I hope that by the end of June, our navy can complete the commissioning of 17 combat warships plus 30 troop carriers, as well as the recruitment and training of 100,000 naval soldiers. I need a navy that can win battles, not a navy. A navy with only battleships. "
Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, the navy will definitely complete the task!
Please rest assured, our navy in Yicun Territory will never be as superficial as the navy of the Anti-Yicun Alliance.
Next, the subordinates will arrange for a warship to take you to Ji Island. Master Zhao Pan said that the army will launch an offensive on Ji Island at 5:00 tomorrow morning. Now the army heroes should hold a meeting at the Ji Village Town Hall.
My lord, you may be able to catch up with the end of the Army Heroes Meeting when you return at this moment, and you can safely leave the matter of the Navy to your subordinates. "
Qu Mao said: "Okay, you can find a naval hero with a Poseidon necklace and a navigator's hat to send me to Ji Island."
Sylvia Ocean said: "Then let Fuer send you back to Ji Island."
