Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 4 Chapter 76: Fleet plan

   Yang Song said to Liu Ji and Li Jing: "You two have also heard that, but I decided to increase the number of navy to 28,000, so that the country's military strength will reach 70,000."

"The navy now has only 1,500 people. The remaining gap, tell me, which warships should be used to supplement it?" Although Yang Song also knows that the navy is not determined by the number of people, but by the warships, he still The overall consideration should be given to the number of people.

   "Enlightenment, Lord! The minister suggested that the navy should also be divided into several separate combat sequences according to the army." Liu Ji first suggested: "If the 28,000-member navy is still commanded by one person, I am afraid it is not appropriate."

   "Well, Bowen was right." Yang Song also knew what Liu Ji was worried about. Now the navy has only a few warships and less than two thousand people, and it is more than enough to be commanded by Li Baolai.

   If the number of the navy is increased to 20,000 or close to 30,000, and then Li Bao is commanded by one person, this is very wrong.

   is not to say that Li Bao has any double minds, but about the establishment of the system. The navy must also have a charter in this regard, otherwise there will be chaos and disorder.

   "In Berwyn's opinion, what kind of division should the navy make?" Yang Song was curious as to what special suggestion Liu Ji had.

Liu Ji replied: "Enlighten your Lord! Actually, the minister thought about the navy a long time ago. Now, after learning that there are such excellent warships and the Lord's plan, the minister suggested that the navy be divided into fleets. "

   "The minister seconded." After hearing Liu Ji's suggestion, Li Jing immediately echoed: "There are now two military ports in this country, and the military ports can be divided into two fleets."

"Yeah, yes." Yang Song remembered that the world was divided into fleets according to regions. Although Xia Kingdom is now divided into military ports, the military port of Linhai Town is far in the northern coastal basin. In fact, the fleet is divided according to regions. of.

   After Yang Song agreed to the two suggestions, he asked, "It is reasonable for each fleet to have 14,000 people, but how should the warships of each fleet be determined?"

"My lord, as far as the minister knows, the navy is completely different from the army." Liu Ji heard Yang Song's question and explained: "The army can be organized by brigade and battalion, and the navy's organization is based on its role. "

   "Therefore, the minister suggested that we should first determine what kind of navy and what kind of fleet the country needs, and then discuss the establishment of the fleet."

   Liu Ji's suggestion is not old-fashioned. Yang Song nodded repeatedly after listening to Liu Ji's suggestion: "Berwen's suggestion really hit the nail on the head!"

   "In addition to the indispensable exploratory fleet, the country also needs a defensive fleet, an ocean-going fleet for offensive purposes." Yang Song praised Liu Ji and went on to talk about Xia's needs for the navy.

   Finally, he asked the two of them, "Does any of you have anything to add? Just say it if you have it."

   "You are wise!" The two clasped their hands in unison, indicating that they had nothing to add.

   "Since there is nothing to add, let's discuss the composition of various fleets." Yang Song advanced the meeting to the next stage: "First, let's talk about the composition of the most important exploration fleet for the country."

"Enlightenment! Since it is a fleet for exploration, this fleet must be long-awaited in the open sea, focusing on exploration, having a certain combat effectiveness to protect itself, and in the event of a loss, it also needs to have a certain degree of maneuverability. Sex." This time it was Li Jing who spoke first.

   Li Jing suggested: "Therefore, the minister suggested that sustainability, ocean-going power, and mobility should be the first to explore the fleet."

  "The minister seconded." This time Liu Ji seconded Li Jing's suggestion: "As General Li said, frigates without ocean-going capabilities were first excluded, secondly heavy super battleships, and finally battleships dedicated to combat were excluded."

   Yang Song understood what the two said, and finally confirmed: "In other words, the exploratory fleet consists of three types of battleships: fast battleships, cruisers, and destroyers?"

   "There are also supply ships, which are an important guarantee for the continuity of the exploration fleet. Although their size is bloated, they are still between fast battleships and cruise ships, and they have sufficient flexibility." Li Jing added.

   Yang Song gave a hum, and then asked: "I have determined the ship type, what about the specific organization?"

  "The minister suggested that the establishment of the exploratory fleet should not be too large or too small." Liu Ji made a suggestion and explained: "Too big and meaningless, too small to protect itself, it should be moderate."

"The Chen's suggestion is the same." Li Jing suggested: "The Chen suggested that the exploratory fleet consists of one fast battleship, two cruise ships, three destroyers, and three supply ships. The entire fleet has a total of 1,880 people. Counting the 20-member flagship command and staff officer corps, there are 1,900 people in total."

   Li Jing knew that Yang Song valued the number of people, so at the end, he specifically pointed out the total number of this fleet.

   "Is this number a bit too small?" After listening to Li Jing's suggestion, Yang Song always felt that this composition looked like a small squadron, not enough.

   Liu Ji replied: "Your Majesty, this number is already a lot. After all, the exploration fleet is only used for exploration. This strength is enough to protect yourself. As the minister said just now, a large exploration fleet is meaningless."

   Yang Song thought about it carefully, and as Liu Ji said, the exploration fleet is not used for combat, and there is no need to incorporate so many battleships.

Li Jing’s suggestion was to include a fast battleship in it. According to Yang Song’s estimation, Li Jing’s proposal was all based on the fact that he, the monarch, attaches great importance to the exploration fleet. Otherwise, even this fast battleship is actually included. No need.

   "Okay, let's do the establishment of the exploratory fleet as you said." After Yang Song understood it, he agreed to Li Jing and Liu Ji's suggestions.

"The next step is the establishment of the defensive fleet. You will come." Yang Song saw that one thing was discussed, and he immediately moved on to the next item. Look like this, if all the fleet establishment issues are not discussed today, Yang Song will not Give it up.

  ……

   After several people's discussions and discussions, even Shen Kuo also participated as a technical consultant.

   finally decided the organization of the defensive fleet and the ocean-going offensive fleet, as well as the issues of their respective locations.

The defensive fleet has a total of 7,000 people, consisting of one super battleship, two battleships, three fast battleships, six cruisers, six destroyers, twelve frigates, and three supply ships~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Counting the flagship commander’s staff, there are a total of five thousand five hundred people. The station is in the navy town.

   The plan of the ocean-going offensive fleet is to build a "five-five fleet".

   In the plan, the offensive fleet has five super battleships, five battleships, five fast battleships, five cruisers, twenty-five destroyers, and five supply ships. There are a total of 12,000 people.

   It's just that the plan to attack the fleet is really too ambitious. Even Shen Kuo, who has never been involved in political affairs, knows that this plan is simply unrealistic with Xia Guo's current national power.

   Therefore, at this stage, we still need to complete the construction plan of the exploration fleet and the defensive fleet first.

   After the discussion, Yang Song found that even if the offensive fleet was counted, there were only 1,994 people, which was far from the 28,000 people Yang Song said.

   At this time, Yang Song knew that the fleet could not be counted solely by the number of people, but could only be counted and planned based on the number of warships.

   In the end, Yang Song was still a bit unwilling, and decided to set up a Marine Corps to come out, belong to the Navy sequence, and be organized as a regular brigade!

   Of course, these plans and decisions are all on paper at this stage, and they are part of Xia Guo's efforts in the future!
