Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 179 Establishment of the Navy

Du Xiaowei, Yuan Yapeng and others launched a large-scale recruitment operation in Shangjin City.

After just three days of hard work, they managed to recruit an astonishing 100,000 soldiers!

When this number was reported to Lu Tianhao, he was shocked.

Even he himself did not expect that the city of Kamitsu alone could muster such a large number of soldiers.

Since he already had sufficient human resources, Lu Tianhao no longer hesitated and immediately started training these 100,000 soldiers.

Fortunately, he had a thousand training pods at his disposal.

Through these training chambers, most of the soldiers were successfully trained and became elite naval fighters, while a small number of them received higher-level training.

Just after training these 100,000 soldiers, Wang Hui rushed over with another troop without stopping.

When he learned that Lu Tianhao was going to form a navy, an irrepressible excitement immediately appeared on his face.

After witnessing the four huge ships that had been exchanged, he was so excited that he was almost speechless.

For them, having such a powerful naval fleet for their country has been the deepest desire and dream of every Tianlong citizen for hundreds of years.

After careful calculations by Lu Tianhao, an aircraft carrier needs to be equipped with a series of command personnel including the captain and deputy captain.

At the same time, professional talents such as technicians, medical staff, pilots, etc. are also needed.

The staffing of an aircraft carrier alone requires at least 3000 people.

The number of people on large warships may be relatively small, but it is estimated that about 2500 people will be needed.

In addition, there are various medium-sized warships, frigates and escort submarines, etc. These ships vary in size and personnel composition.

Taking all factors into consideration, the average crew size of each ship is approximately 1500 people.

The National Salvation Army currently has 100,000 navy personnel, which means they have enough manpower to form a large and powerful naval fleet.

The fleet will consist of nearly 70 ships of various sizes, all of which are combat-capable and can be used in naval battles.

A fleet of this size and strength is undoubtedly an impressive maritime force.

In the meeting room, the atmosphere was tense and serious.

Du Xiaowei was the first to break the silence. "Marshal, can you transfer me from the Army to the Navy? I am eager to be a part of the Navy."

His eyes were firm, revealing his anticipation for new challenges.

After Lu Tianhao pondered for a moment, he made a decision.

Considering the current lack of suitable leaders in the Navy, he believed that Du Xiaowei's request could be met.

After all, Du Xiaowei has always performed well and deserves more opportunities.

So he nodded in agreement and announced, "In that case, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Navy will be handed over to you."

This decision surprised the participants, but everyone soon understood Lu Tianhao's considerations.

Du Xiaowei's ability and determination have been recognized, and he will shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the navy.

For Du Xiaowei, this is not only a career change, but also an opportunity to showcase his personal talents and realize his ideals.

Wang Hui said, "Marshal, what size of naval fleet are we going to form this time?"

Lu Tianhao pondered for a while and said slowly, "In future naval battles, carrier-based aircraft will be an important factor in determining victory in naval battles.

Now we only have two aircraft carriers, and our combat effectiveness is a bit weak.

So I decided to deploy two more aircraft carriers and two large battleships.

As for other types of small and medium-sized warships and frigates, as well as some anti-submarine ships and submarines, I will configure them according to the proportion.

In this way, each aircraft carrier and a large battleship, equipped with a number of small and medium-sized ships of various types, can form a sailing fleet.

Our four aircraft carriers and four large warships can be formed into four sailing fleets.

In normal times, they can serve as a patrol fleet in our waters.

Once war breaks out, these fleets can be quickly assembled to form a joint fleet to fight the enemy.

Our four aircraft carriers alone can carry 120 carrier-based aircraft each, so a total of 480 carrier-based aircraft can be carried!

These carrier-based aircraft will become an important force in our maritime operations, and can perform a variety of tasks such as aerial reconnaissance, anti-submarine, and ground attack.

Moreover, they can cooperate with other ships to form a complete combat system.

With such powerful air force support, our fleet will have greater advantages and initiative in naval battles.

With such a large fleet of carrier-based aircraft, I believe that we can face any enemy.

No matter how advanced their weapons and equipment or tactical strategies are.

As long as we can use these carrier-based aircraft reasonably and give full play to their combat capabilities, we will definitely be able to win in fleet combat.

Even if the other side has a fleet of similar size.

But we have more carrier-based aircraft, better performance and higher-quality pilots, which will enable us to take the initiative on the battlefield.

At the same time, our fleet is also equipped with a complete air defense system and anti-submarine system, which can effectively protect its own safety and strike enemy targets.

Therefore, I firmly believe that in future naval battles, our fleet will not be at a disadvantage, but will meet the challenge with great strength and confidence."

After receiving Lu Tianhao's affirmative answer, Wang Hui and a group of generals all showed bright smiles on their faces.

The National Salvation Army can finally have its own powerful naval fleet.

In order to avoid causing shock, Lu Tianhao exchanged various types of warships after nightfall.

Lu Tianhao exchanged for two 50,000-ton aircraft carriers and two 30,000-ton large battleships.

Eight battleships of more than 44 tons were exchanged, battleships of various types below tons were exchanged, and eight top-level submarines were exchanged.

After the exchange, one side had a total of 68 warships, together with the original two aircraft carriers and two large battleships.

After all the exchanges, the total tonnage of the ships exchanged reached 50 tons, not including the two aircraft carriers and two large battleships previously exchanged.

If they were included, the total tonnage of the National Salvation Army's naval fleet would reach 66 tons.

150 million points in exchange for this 50-ton ship.

These fifty or sixty ships simply cannot accommodate them in the port.

Lu Tianhao released these ships outside the port under the cover of night.

At dawn the next day, the dense crowds of warships outside the port shocked the 100,000-strong navy of the National Salvation Army.

It even made the entire Shangjin City's people cheer in shock.

The spies of various countries hiding among the people were also shocked by the generosity of the National Salvation Army.
