Chapter 604 Gathering Soldiers
During the three days of October 6th, 7th, and 8th in the third year of Tianxuan, all the heroes and managers in Yizhen Territory were in a busy state of racing against time. Peace is precious, and it is even more important under the current environment of Yizhen Territory. It is extremely rare.
In the past three days, Qu Mao himself also took a tour of the eight islands in the territory of Yizhen that he still held in his hands, and even specially asked the navy to drive a warship to approach the surrounding area of the sky island, and use a telescope to observe the sky island The status quo, pasture has indeed been destroyed some.
On the evening of October 8th, the third year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao couldn't bear it anymore. After repeated urging by Sylvia Oshen and Zhao Pan, Qu Mao had no choice but to join Su Yan on the third floor of the lord's cabin in the territory of Yi Town. In Qu Mao's bedroom, he was silently looking at the data of Yi Zhen's territory.
Su Yan said: "My lord, as of tonight, the total population of our Yizhen territory is 3.89 million, and there are still about 320,000 prisoners of war who have not been persuaded to surrender.
Sylvia Ocean is going to put all these prisoners of war on unmodified warships, as daredevils who can withstand the shore fire defense of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet landing force when counterattacking the empty island. "
How long has Sky Island experienced development? Although there are still only three civilian docks, they have all been upgraded to fourth-tier civilian docks. One fourth-tier civilian dock can accommodate 48 ships at the same time, and three fourth-tier civilian docks can simultaneously It can accommodate 144 warships to berth.
No matter how many troops the Yizhen Territorial Navy gathers, there are only 144 warships landing simultaneously.
If the landing troops of the Mughal Empire’s invasion fleet refused to surrender, the Yizhen Territory Navy could only organize 144 warships to forcibly land at the pier to fight. The 320,000 prisoners of the Mughal Empire’s invasion fleet refused to surrender. Small warships can be equipped with almost 1,000 small warships, but it is obvious that the total number of small warships captured by the Yizhen Territory Navy is not so many.
Thinking about it, Sylvia Ocean has never considered consuming so many small warships in the process of counterattacking the empty island. The prisoners of war refused to surrender by the Mughal Empire invasion fleet were used as cannon fodder to consume the coastal defense of the empty island defenders. The strategic materials are definitely fine, but Sylvia Ocean is definitely not willing to consume all of them.
Qu Mao thought of this, nodded, and said: "Sylvia's arrangement is no problem, but if these prisoners of war are not all consumed, our total population can reach 4.21 million.
Let Sylvia Oceana's prisoner of war consume some of it. The total number of warships that can be put into combat is as many as 1,671, and there are an additional 621 troop carriers. But we definitely don't need so many troops to fight the empty island. We also have to consider the invasion of other forces after the end of the peace period. The navy has consumed so many prisoners of war. Will the number of soldiers be able to support the deployment of warships in the future? "
Su Yan said: "Call everyone to discuss."
Soon, the heroes of the navy and army gathered in the living room on the first floor of the lord's cabin in Yizhen's territory. Qu Mao and Su Yan informed everyone of the previous discussion between the two.
Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, attacking Sky Island will definitely not consume all the 320,000 prisoners of war from the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet, but it will definitely consume some.
There are still 150,000 landing troops of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet on the empty island. Our total number of prisoners of war will not decrease.
After recovering the sky island, the subordinates will consider the consumption of warships in the counterattack to the sky island and regroup the three fleets of the navy. "
Zhao Pan also said: "My lord, the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet originally had 500 troop carriers. We didn't fight at all. At least 500,000 troops participated in the battle. Maybe 150,000 of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet landed troops. Soldiers are soldiers.
Army expansion, you casually said a million. It is really not easy for our Yizhen territory to gather this million army. "
Qu Mao nodded and said: "After the battle at dawn on October 5, we have been in peace until now, so my judgment with Kong Ming is correct.
But with the increase of our own population, I think we will have to wait until the beginning of November at the earliest, and then I will find my God-Chosen friends to purchase a total of 198,000 general-level qualified resident recruitment coupons.
The 198,000 self-owned residents, according to past practice, 40% of the female residents, about 30% of the age is not suitable, and only about 60,000 people can really become our potential military force.
How about this, Su Yan, let Sunan prepare and transfer back the 200,000 fighters recruited in Liuwang Principality. No matter whether the training is finished or not, Sylvia will personally go to Yancheng Port at night to pick them up. "
Su Yan said: "Yes, my lord!"
Sylvia Ocean also nodded.
Qu Mao continued: "Everyone, I will not allow our army to participate in the war until the navy has fully occupied the civilian pier of Sky Island. I hope everyone understands.
I don’t think it’s a big problem for the navy to expand its troops, but our army will have some difficulties. "
Su Yan said: "My lord, go pick it up tonight. Suber's 200,000 reinforcements will arrive tomorrow evening. The population of Yi Town's territory will immediately become 4.09 million. There are too many soldiers. Not only the number of soldiers, but also the military expenses also need to be considered.
Maffei’s income from running merchants is also affected by the war, and the current account gold coins in the territory of Yi Town are consumed relatively quickly..."
Qu Mao took a look at the account of Yizhen Territory, and the number of gold coins was less than 1 million. With a sigh, Qu Mao said: "I just made up 2 million gold coins last time, but the consumption is a bit fast.
Su Yan, hold on first. Territory building upgrades, compensation for fallen soldiers, treatment of wounded soldiers, and resettlement of prisoners of war all require money. If the money is not enough, I will think of other ways, and I will not consider the issue of gold coin consumption for the time being. "
Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, my subordinates have gathered troops in the military ports and naval barracks of Zhongdao, Jidao, Outlying Island, and Yidao, and they are waiting for October 10 to launch an air island counterattack.
Of course, today is only October 8th. In the morning of the day after tomorrow, more warships will gather at the civilian docks of outlying islands, after all, it is closer to Sky Island. "
Zhao Pan said: "My lord, the civilian pier outside the village is only about 10 kilometers away from the north and south of the outlying island, and the army can use shuttle boats to participate in the battle.
My lord was worried that the army would not have enough one million soldiers, so he would not allow the army to participate in the landing battle. My subordinates felt that my lord had put the cart before the horse. "
Qu Mao glared at Zhao Pan, and said: "If the army has nothing to do, go and help Lord Xuande develop the islands.
After the Sky Island is over, we still have a week to two weeks of peace. At that time, I will convene a meeting to discuss the consolidation of the results and future development.
Now only consider taking back the 200,000 soldiers in southern Jiangsu and regaining Sky Island. "
"Yes, my lord!" All the heroes in the meeting shouted.
