Warlords: Rise of the System

This time, the National Salvation Army Air Force and Army cooperated in the attack on Ming Island. Lu Tianhao did not participate. He handed over the command to other generals.

The commander-in-chief of the Navy Combined Fleet is Du Xiaowei.

In this battle, he shouldered a heavy responsibility and had to lead the navy and the army to work closely together to capture Ming Island.

As for the six divisions of the army, Lu Tianhao did not appoint a unified commander.

This is because each division is an elite force with its own unique tactical style and advantages.

If one person is given unified command, it may limit the performance of each division.

On the contrary, allowing each division to play freely can better play to their respective strengths and improve overall combat effectiveness.

Each of the six divisions participating in the Battle of Ming Island had a strength of 50,000 to 60,000 troops.

It can be said that each division is equivalent to a small army group.

Moreover, each division is equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, including tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, etc.

These weapons are not only numerous but also of high quality, and can exert tremendous power on the battlefield.

With such powerful strength, each of these six divisions is enough to fight against more than 100,000 bandits and multinational coalition forces.

However, if they are combined and commanded by one person, it may lead to over-centralization of command and untimely information transmission, thus affecting combat efficiency.

Therefore, Lu Tianhao decided to let each division act independently and flexibly adjust tactics according to actual conditions in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of each division.

In short, Lu Tianhao's decision took into account the characteristics and advantages of each division, and avoided the disadvantages of over-centralized command.

This decentralized command method enables each division to fully exert its combat power, thereby improving the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Three large-scale sailing fleets were sailing on the sea like steel behemoths, followed closely by troop transports loaded with soldiers.

This army of more than 30 soldiers, transported by the navy, is speeding towards Mingdao Province with high morale and firm determination.

Since a large number of fleets and transport ships were mobilized in this attack on Ming Island, it was almost impossible to completely conceal the news.

Therefore, Lu Tianhao did not deliberately ask the troops to keep the operation secret.

After all, the last time the bandits came to their homeland, they had almost completely destroyed the fleets of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces.

Therefore, it would be difficult for them to organize a large-scale fleet to evacuate the bandits and multinational coalition forces on Ming Island in a short period of time.

In this way, even if the enemy knew about the actions of the National Salvation Army, they would not be able to take effective countermeasures and could only fight passively.

The three dual-carrier formations, like a group of huge monsters, carrying a large number of troop transports, were slowly moving along the coastline.

Their figures are so huge that they seem to cover the entire coastline.

This huge fleet is as majestic and spectacular as a steel behemoth.

Their destination was Ming Island, but to get there they had to pass along the coast which was controlled by many warlords.

In fact, this joint fleet of the National Salvation Army is fully capable of avoiding the coastline and reaching Ming Island directly.

However, Du Xiaowei, the commander-in-chief, chose another way.

He deliberately let the fleet move slowly along the coastline in order to show everyone the strength of the navy.

He hoped that in this way, the people living on the coast and the warlords' troops would witness with their own eyes the power of the National Salvation Army's naval fleet.

The three dual-carrier fleets, each aircraft carrier is like a mobile fortress, exuding endless majesty.

The various types of warships that support the aircraft carrier, plus more than 300 troop transport ships following closely behind, together formed a shocking picture.

Their sheer size is astonishing.

Such a naval fleet is undoubtedly a symbol of national strength and the pride of the people.

The fleet's journey along the coastline attracted the attention of countless people from the Tianlong Kingdom.

People flocked to the seaside and the beach to witness this magnificent sight.

"Wow, this is the naval fleet of the National Salvation Army! It's so spectacular!" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Yes, such a powerful fleet really makes us feel extremely proud!" another person echoed.

"Look at that aircraft carrier. There are so many planes parked on it, and it is so huge. It's really majestic." Someone else said, pointing to an aircraft carrier in the distance.

"There are too many warships, at least several hundred of them," someone sighed.

"These are the naval fleets of the National Salvation Army. Alas! I don't know when we can become the people of the National Salvation Army." Someone said enviously.

"I heard that people in the area under the jurisdiction of the National Salvation Army live very well and can even eat meat every day," someone said excitedly.

"No way? If you can eat meat every day, wouldn't you be richer than the landlord?" someone asked doubtfully.

"Don't disbelieve it. I heard that the National Salvation Army is very good to the people, especially those in need. I heard that they even provide hardship subsidies." Someone explained.

"I really hope that one day we can live like this." Someone sighed.

"The National Salvation Army has such a powerful naval fleet. They were able to defeat the great powers so badly. I believe it won't take them too long to unify the Tianlong Kingdom."

The people watching were talking about it, saying all kinds of things.

How much these people hope that the National Salvation Army will come quickly so that they can also live a life with enough food and warm clothing.

The warlord's coastal defense forces were also stunned when they saw this huge fleet.

They immediately realized what the appearance of this fleet meant.

So they quickly reported the situation to their superiors.

The coastal defense forces of these warlords had limited equipment and only had some small patrol boats.

Faced with such a huge naval fleet of the National Salvation Army, they felt so small and insignificant.

Especially when those huge and majestic warships and enormous aircraft carriers appear in sight.

The few small patrol boats owned by the warlords seemed extremely small, like a group of ants facing a huge elephant. There was no comparison at all.

The scale of these warships and aircraft carriers is so large that they can almost cover the entire sky and ocean, giving people an irresistible sense of oppression.

In comparison, the warlords' small patrol boats seemed like insignificant toys and might even be ignored.

When the warlords' top brass learned the news, they did not show much surprise.

Because they had already learned about the purpose of the National Salvation Army's naval fleet through various channels.

In response to the National Salvation Army's move, the warlords also took corresponding measures.

They ordered the coastal defense forces not to easily provoke the National Salvation Army's naval fleet to avoid causing conflict.

They knew very well that the action of the National Salvation Army Navy Fleet was mainly a demonstration.

Once the coastal defense forces collide with them, it is possible that they will consider using force.

Du Xiaowei led the naval fleet and after a day and night of sailing, finally arrived near Ming Island.

The prelude to the Battle of Ming Island has begun.
