Chapter 566 Naval Division of Labor
Since September 2, the third year of Tianxuan, Liuwang Dukedom sent troops to invade Yizhen's territory, and Yizhen's territory has been continuously invaded by more and more aboriginal forces for more than ten days. The intensity of the war was completely underestimated, and the preparations of the army and navy were not sufficient at all.
So far, the navy of Yizhen territory has not suffered a loss in combat, and every battle has warships and prisoners of war. In this case, the navy has to be further reorganized, which Qu Mao thinks is necessary.
Therefore, Qu Mao did not object to the split and reorganization of the navy by Fuerswamp, Sylvia Ocean and Christine Sirian, which was divided into three parts: the cruise fleet, the princess fleet and the main battle fleet. Qu Mao He believes that it is more in line with the needs of the current naval operations, but one thing, Qu Mao hopes that the division of labor between the three fleets of the navy should be clear, and there should be sufficient coordination between them.
Sylvia Ocean thought for a while, and said to Qu Mao: "Master Christine also said before that when my subordinates, Master Fuer and Lord Christine reorganized the Navy's three fleets in the early days, they considered The positioning and division of responsibilities of the three fleets.
The previous thinking was that the Princess Fleet will not assign important combat missions for the time being, but mainly conduct patrols and fixed-point operations in medium-range sea areas.
The cruise fleet is mainly responsible for offshore patrols around the islands and resisting the forced landing of enemy warships. The cruise range is only within 50 kilometers of the nine islands in the territory of Yi Town.
The sailing range of the main team has not been agreed upon. If necessary, they can even sail for more than a thousand miles to attack. However, after detailed communication with the adults, the subordinates feel that it may be necessary to further clarify the responsibilities and the cooperation mechanism between them. "
Qu Mao asked: "Then you three need to discuss further? Or can we talk slowly?"
Fuer Swanpu said: "My lord, I feel that only 375 warships in the main battle force are not enough in the short term. The princess fleet was arranged before because I felt that the battle of Lord Su Yan's restoration of the country is imminent, so it is not easy to arrange it." routine combat missions.
So the subordinates are wondering whether we can still maintain the assumption that the Princess Fleet does not arrange conventional combat missions. Once there are combat missions, the warships in the Princess Fleet that have been refitted with ship-mounted ballistas will participate in the combat missions of the main force.
When there is no combat mission, the unmodified warships of the Princess Fleet will participate in the daily patrol of the cruise fleet and resist the forced landing of enemy ships. At the same time, the patrol range of the cruise fleet will be expanded to the sea area 100 kilometers away from the nine islands. "
Sylvia Ocean nodded and said, "Master Fuer's suggestion can be considered."
Christine Sirian said: "Sylvia, our warships will continue to be installed, as long as the number of our naval fighters can keep up.
Now according to the feedback from all the heroes, there are actually more and more enemy warships in the surrounding waters, and there are more than one enemy. The 100-kilometer sea area around the island is relatively large. Even if the cruise fleet and the princess fleet have about 200 warships, In summary, there are only more than 800 warships, and there are still large-scale defense loopholes in the patrol process.
So I think that in the small fleet led by every hero in the cruise fleet, there should be warships with long-range attack capabilities.
At the same time, our main battleship should also have some melee warships. After all, it is impossible for all naval battles to be long-range attacks. When the number of enemy warships exceeds the long-range attack capabilities of our main battleship, there will always be enemy warships carrying The attack of the ballista was close to the side of our main battleship warship. "
Sylvia Ocean frowned and thought for a while, then said: "My lord, this subordinate has already thought it through.
Since Your Excellency regards the Princess Fleet as the naval force for Lord Su Yan's restoration of the country, and the military operation of Lord Su Yan's restoration of the country that was vaguely expressed in the previous meetings by Your Excellency will not wait too long.
The subordinates plan to let 10 heroes form a cruise fleet with a total of 600 warships, responsible for daily patrols within about 100 kilometers around the nine islands, discovering traces of enemy warships, and defending against enemy warships from landing. Its main duty is to patrol the coastal waters of our islands, discover the enemy invasion fleet in advance, and effectively prevent the enemy fleet from landing on the islands in Yi Town's territory.
After the Lord decides to support Lord Su Yan's restoration of the country, we will directly dispatch the Princess Fleet to assist Lord Su Yan in restoring the country.
The duties of the main battle team remain the same. Once the enemy is found, or the enemy's attack information is intercepted, the main battle team will perform the duty of destroying the enemy, directly assault the enemy fleet, and kill the enemy warship in the open sea. "
Qu Mao nodded and said: "This arrangement is not a big problem. I think that since it has been agreed, we should reorganize the navy as soon as possible according to this configuration and plan, and quickly form combat power.
As for the number of warships, I think that enough warships should be installed first, and then the warships that were installed randomly before will be replaced with warships that have been modified with ship-mounted ballistas.
The problem of insufficient number of naval personnel can make the crews of the cruise fleet and princess fleet dissatisfied in the early stage.
With the main force fighting the enemy in the open sea, the cruise fleet and the princess fleet are not under much pressure. "
Full Swamp said: "My lord, now we only have one outlying island shipyard in the territory of Yi Town, and the speed of refitting warships can't keep up at all.
It is expected to complete all the refitted warships in this plan, which may take until the end of September or even mid-October. "
Qu Mao said: "I have ordered Kong Ming to build a new shipyard in Liandao..."
Christine Slian said with a smile: "My lord, but the construction period for the shipyard is still very long."
Qu Maodao: "There should be construction acceleration props in the territorial material warehouse, ask Su Yan to get one, and send it to Lian Dao."
The three naval heroes thanked each other.
While Qu Mao was discussing the reorganization and division of labor of the navy with the three naval heroes, Zhen Fu suddenly pushed open the door of the lord's cabin and walked in angrily.
Qu Mao asked in astonishment: "Zhen Fu, what's wrong with you?"
Zhen Fu glared at Sylvia Ocean, and said, "My lord, this subordinate doesn't want to do it anymore.
The 100,000 prisoners of war in Gilhou Kingdom have not been completely surrendered, and the navy has sent nearly 10,000 prisoners of war, all of whom are sailors. "
Sylvia Ocean said: "How can there be 10,000 people? There are only about 3,000 people."
Zhen Fu said: "My lord, the speed of the navy's capture of prisoners is a bit fast, and the subordinates are too busy."
Qu Mao said: "Take your time, Zhen Fu, don't worry, there are more and more enemies now, which means that our prisoners of war will also increase."
