Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 274: Reorganization of the Fleet

Lu Tianhao stood at the bow, looking at the densely packed warships behind him, and a feeling of pride surged in his heart.

He knew that these warships represented the country's great strength and were the result of his hard work.

However, in addition to being proud, he also felt a little helpless.

Because he was clearly aware that maintaining such a large fleet would cost a huge price.

First of all, these forty large aircraft carriers are veritable money-eating beasts.

The annual maintenance cost of each of them is an astronomical figure.

This made Lu Tianhao sigh that a large amount of wealth was consumed on military equipment.

However, Lu Tianhao was not discouraged by this.

He began to think about it and realized that he now owned several major ports.

These ports can not only provide docking and supply for the fleet, but also become important support points for national economic development.

Thinking of this, he decided to divide these aircraft carriers and warships into several naval fleets for better management and use.

At present, more than half of Liaoyuan Province has been captured by the National Salvation Army, and it is expected that the entire province will be completely recovered in the near future.

Lu Tianhao knew very well that this victory was hard-won and he needed to remain vigilant and strengthen his defense.

Especially those important port cities need a strong naval fleet to protect them.

He thought carefully about how to allocate resources appropriately to ensure that every port was adequately protected.

At the same time, he also has to take into account possible threats of war in the future and prepare countermeasures in advance.

Although the task is arduous, Lu Tianhao is full of confidence. He believes that through his own efforts, he will be able to build a powerful naval fleet to protect the security of the coastline.

After carefully studying the map, Lu Tianhao roughly calculated that Liaoyuan Province has four large seaports, and Beiyuan Province also has about three important ports.

In addition, there are ports in Kamitsu City, Togen Province, Kyoto Prefecture, and Kaicheng.

There are about twenty ports of all sizes in total.

After careful consideration, he decided to divide the forty aircraft carriers into a small naval fleet of two aircraft carriers and send them to various ports for garrison.

Considering that we are currently in a period of war, Lu Tianhao decided not to distinguish between civilian ports and military ports, but to implement unified military control.

Each port will be garrisoned by a naval fleet consisting of two aircraft carriers, and such a deployment is sufficient to deal with various emergencies.

If a large enemy fleet attacks, fleets from multiple ports can be quickly mobilized to join forces to fight against the enemy's fleet.

This flexible and responsive strategy can effectively enhance maritime defense capabilities and ensure the safety of the coastline.

At this moment, the joint fleet of the National Salvation Army has an extremely high configuration of aircraft carriers, but other supporting warships are not yet complete.

More importantly, the current naval forces are seriously understaffed.

Even existing warships can only be operated by a minimum of personnel, which is almost at the limit.

If each aircraft carrier is calculated as a small formation, the supporting warships will vary in size, and the total number will need to be at least more than twenty.

However, if all the supporting warships of the forty aircraft carriers are to be equipped, the total number of naval warships of the National Salvation Army will be close to one thousand.

In this way, Lu Tianhao will need to exchange at least another 500 warships of various types, which will undoubtedly be another huge investment of points.

However, these points are nothing to Lu Tianhao now.

Since leaving the pirates' waters yesterday, the system has cashed in the points earned from bombing the pirates' homeland.

Lu Tianhao's comprehensive bombing of the bandits' homeland was very fruitful and he earned a huge amount of points.

Lu Tianhao's indiscriminate bombing killed more than 300 million people.

A large number of national defense troops were also killed in the bombing.

Lu Tianhao won a great victory in this bombing operation. Not only did he destroy the enemy's manpower, but he also obtained rich rewards.

Lu Tianhao's bombardment along the way resulted in him earning more than 3500 million points personally.

This number made Lu Tianhao very satisfied.

Not only that, the carrier-based aircraft of the National Salvation Army also destroyed a large number of the bandits' aircraft and carried out large-scale bombings on their coastal towns, causing large numbers of casualties among the bandits' civilians and troops.

At the same time, the comprehensive bombing by vehicle-mounted multiple rocket launchers also wiped out tens of thousands of bandit troops.

Taking all factors into consideration, this operation earned up to 4500 million points at one time.

However, Lu Tianhao's bombardment also consumed a lot of points.

After final calculation, there is still nearly 4000 million points of profit.

Adding the points accumulated before, Lu Tianhao now has more than 8000 million points.

With such a huge amount of points, he could not only easily exchange for 500 warships of various types, but he would not even blink an eye even if he exchanged all of them for large warships.

Today, the total number of navy personnel is around 50, but there is still a gap of at least or people to meet the manpower requirements for thousands of warships.

However, during this period, various army units recruited a large number of new soldiers.

At present, Lu Tianhao has not carefully counted the specific number of the army, but roughly estimated that the total number of the army has exceeded 150 million.

In order to quickly reorganize and replenish the navy, Lu Tianhao decisively drew 50 new recruits from the army and provided them with comprehensive training.

Most of them are trained to become elite navy, and only a small part is trained for higher levels.

Thanks to the 50 naval reinforcements, the naval fleet was quickly reorganized.

Since Liaoyuan Province had not yet been recovered, the naval fleet sent to the four ports of the province was stationed directly on the coastal border line, ready to carry out recovery operations on these ports at any time.

The exchange of 500 warships of various types and the training of 500,000 new recruits consumed a total of 30 million points!

This figure is staggering, but from another perspective, this huge expenditure is worth it.

Now, the National Salvation Army has a naval force of over a million people and nearly a thousand warships of various types.

Such powerful strength made them the overlords of the sea.

Both in quantity and quality, they are enough to surpass other forces.

On this vast ocean, the National Salvation Army's fleet is as majestic and magnificent as a steel behemoth.

They dominate the seas with absolute superiority, ensuring the country's security and prosperity.

The new soldiers are also receiving training to familiarize themselves with the warships. They will become the backbone of this powerful fleet.

Every warship is a mobile battle fortress, and every crew member is a brave and fearless warrior.

As time goes by, the Salvation Army's navy will continue to grow and become an important force in maintaining world peace and stability.

Although he had a strong naval force, Lu Tianhao did not expand outward immediately.

Lu Tianhao turned his attention to the battle on land. He now had a strong army and it was time to launch an all-out attack on the enemy.
