All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

Since he wanted to check it out in person and understand the details, the fleet's route would have to be changed. Ye Bai immediately ordered Lütjens to readjust the route and no longer go to the previously scheduled island, but instead rush to the fleet farther away. A small island not too far away from the current location.

It can be analyzed from the messages left by other Blue Star players in the chat section that there is a food shortage and it is only the small islands that are purchasing large quantities of food and other materials from players. This situation does not occur on medium-sized islands and large islands.

Therefore, if Ye Bai wants to figure out the situation, he can only choose these small islands. Going to other large and medium-sized islands may only be a waste of time.

The small island chosen by Ye Bai was close to the original route of the Chinese fleet, and the distance was not too far. Even in order to take care of the speed of the Pengze and Yujiang, the Yanhuang could not maintain its top speed of 32 knots, but The speed of the entire fleet still reached 28 knots. At this speed, it would only take less than a day to reach the small island.

At noon the next day, the Chinese fleet successfully arrived at this small island. According to the requirements of the patrol, after successfully docking the three warships at the berth of the port pier, Ye Bai took Lütjens- and others landed on the island.

On the nautical map, this island was not marked with a name. Ye Bai was a little surprised at the time, but when he landed on the island and registered with the dock guard, he learned that in the great world of navigation, these small islands have no place at all. There is no special name, just a number. The number of the small island at Ye Bai's feet is No. 026.

Ye Bai doesn't know why these small islands don't have names, only a number. The key is that this number also feels quite strange. The normal number should not be 26. How could there be a 026? Ye Bai can't figure it out. There is also a lack of more intelligence to analyze and judge.

Putting this problem behind him for the time being, Ye Bai and his men went directly to the trading market without staying at the pier. He came to the island No. 026 with his own purpose this time.

After visiting several merchants, Ye Bai finally figured out what was going on. It turned out that except for some with special environments, most of these small islands were not self-sufficient and often needed to be purchased from other large and medium-sized islands. Food meets the daily needs of everyone on the island.

This situation has continued until now, and there has never been any accident. But now this accident has happened, that is because of the appearance of a large number of players, who have purchased a lot of food and other materials from these large and medium-sized islands, and in the future The demand is not necessarily small.

As a result, the food output of these large and medium-sized islands was somewhat tight, thus reducing the amount of food sold to small islands, which caused a food shortage in these small islands.

Seeing that the situation was not right, these small islands immediately stopped selling food to players, and also issued purchase orders, hoping to purchase large amounts of food and other materials from these players. This is why players who are clearly not short of food are so eager to purchase food.

These players themselves can indeed buy food in the trading markets of large and medium-sized islands, and then transport it to small islands for sale, but don't forget that all players' ships are battleships, not transport ships, whether they are gunboats or destroyers. In fact, the available cabins are limited, and the food that can be loaded is also limited.

Not only can one trip transport a lot of food, but the profit earned is not too high. Except for some organized and powerful players, most players will not choose to start a business, but Ye Bai is directly in the trading section. Selling grain is different.

Taking advantage of the power of the system and the particularity of the trading sector, these players do not even need to go to sea, but stay directly on the port terminal to obtain large quantities of food and sell it to these small islands without spending much effort and profit. Although it is still very low, it is equivalent to picking it up for free. Most players will not refuse such a good thing.

"Commander, the situation in the great maritime world will change greatly. Our living environment will become even worse. We need to strengthen the fleet as soon as possible."

After walking out of the trading market, Lütjens whispered in Ye Bai's ear.

Ye Bai was shocked and quickly asked softly:"General Ltjens, what do you mean by this? It's just because of Our appearance has made it impossible for these small islands to purchase more food, so there won't be a big crisis, right?"

Lütjens shook his head and explained softly:"Commander, food may seem inconspicuous, but it is an extremely important strategic material. Those large and medium-sized islands do not mention their own food output, even if they have stored it before. There is a lot of food in stock. We have just arrived in this world in less than a month. How much food can we consume?"

"Even if the large and medium-sized islands are really short of food, their own reserves can sustain them for a long time. There is absolutely no need to reduce the share sold to those small islands. The only explanation is that they did it deliberately."

"on purpose?"

Ye Bai became even more confused. He frowned and thought for a while. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind and he said in surprise:"You mean those large and medium-sized forces are using this method to force these small island teams or say? Take refuge directly under their command?"

Although Ye Bai is not a genius, he still comes from the era of information explosion. There are many such examples both on the Internet and in novels. If you haven't eaten pork, you haven't seen pigs running. But in general In troubled times, some ambitious guys will take action and expand their power through various means. The same is true in today's great maritime world. Those aboriginal forces that occupy large and medium-sized islands, if they want to develop In order to grow stronger, in addition to tapping internal potential, a better way is to recruit external forces.

Taking action against large and medium-sized forces of the same level will inevitably trigger a chain reaction, and even the winner will not be determined in a short period of time. Even if it is true, If you succeed, your own losses will not be small. On the contrary, it is more convenient to attack these small islands.

There is no need to dispatch a fleet to attack the islands, just a food blockade can kill half of these small islands.

"But it shouldn’t be. Their strength is too strong, and we people have not developed at all. If they take action at this time, we will have no chance at all and can only become their slaves. If this is the case, the system What’s the point of pulling us into this great world of navigation?"

0 Asking for Flowers

Although Ye Bai roughly understood this, he still didn't want to believe it. After all, this guess was too terrible. If it was really like that, all players, including him, could only become cannon fodder or slaves.

He He didn't believe it. No matter what the purpose of the system was in bringing so many of them into the world of navigation, at least Ye Bai still believed that the system did not let them come in to die in vain. Therefore, the system would treat those who occupied The indigenous forces of large islands have imposed many restrictions. Even their effective control of the sea area is only 15 kilometers. The powerful island fleet cannot go to sea and can only be parked in the port as a display. Isn't it to provide players with time to develop?. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Since there are system restrictions, why would these guys suddenly choose to attack small islands? It is illogical.

Lütjens shrugged his shoulders and said softly:"Commander, these are just my guesses. Maybe they really have insufficient food production, but I still think that this food incident is just the beginning. Maybe they will use more methods in the future. Even if this is the case now, They cannot occupy these small islands at that time, but that does not prevent them from weakening the strength of these small islands as much as possible first."

Ye Bai felt dizzy. Although he didn't want to believe Lutjens's guess and analysis, he had to admit that what he said was quite reasonable. Regardless of whether these aborigines occupying various islands were What was it like before?

But after their players entered the world of navigation on a large scale, to some extent, the balance between these forces has actually been broken. Whether it is for self-protection or for the ambition in their hearts, there will be Various actions and plans.

Food production may really be insufficient, but Ye Bai will not believe this reason. The system directly cancels the sale of food and other commodities in the system mall, forcing players to only buy from the trading markets of various islands. Food and fresh water.

Now the player is not strong, he has a small crew, and the food and other materials that need to be consumed are relatively small. When the level of the player's ship gradually increases, he may even establish a formal fleet recognized by the system like Ye Bai. , the consumption of food and other materials will increase to an astronomical figure.

If the system does not have corresponding countermeasures, I am afraid that a food crisis will break out in the entire maritime world, whether it is the player forces, the aboriginal forces that have occupied the island, or the pirate forces, I am afraid that many people will starve to death. This is obviously not in line with the rules and settings of the system.

Thinking about it this way, I am afraid that the fact is really as Lutjens guessed, it is those who have sufficient food supplies in their hands. The indigenous forces are working behind the scenes to impose conscious and purposeful restrictions, just like the embargo imposed by the United States on benzene in Japan during World War II.

"No matter, let alone the aborigines who occupy large islands, even the aboriginal forces on these small islands are not something we can afford to offend now. Even if your guess is true, there is nothing we can do and we can only pretend We are just a spectator, so it is more practical to prioritize improving the strength of the fleet."

While walking towards the port terminal, Ye Bai whispered to Lütjens, expressing all his thoughts...
