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

In Ye Bai's original thoughts, of course a qualified younger brother like Wu Yichun should be placed by his side. As long as he supports him from behind, this guy will definitely be able to develop better.

Putting him in the player group can help him monitor the movements of other players. With his own support, he can also win over a group of players and even form a player organization.

It's just that this guy is too far away from me. Not to mention that Wu Yichun has to sail more than 30,000 kilometers to get here. No one knows how many dangers he will encounter on such a long voyage. If something unexpected happens, it will be... Some are not worth it anymore.

What's more, even if the journey is smooth, it will still take at least 2 months to sail. During this period, Wu Yichun has not made any development, wasting a lot of time, and may fall behind the development speed of other players~.

But it is even more impossible for Ye Bai to rush over to pick him up personally. Yuntong Island has been acquired, and the next focus is to continue to block the island No. 308. It is best to capture that island as well and realize Two-line development -, happiness doubled.

After thinking about it, Ye Bai still sent a message back to Wu Yichun, directly telling him his thoughts and making the disadvantages very clear. As for how to choose, he left it to Wu Yichun to consider.

Even Wu Yichun, who has always been a bit nervous, did not reply immediately to such a big matter. He must have been thinking carefully. Ye Bai did not wait for his reply and directly closed the friend interface. As for that, he had already When he accumulated 999999+ friend requests, he immediately ignored them.

After the first integration of Yuntong Island, the area has expanded a lot, which has added more work content to Zhou Guolai, Qiu Haonan and others, including reorganizing various departments and taking over various tasks on Yuntong Island.

We also need to mobilize personnel and materials to repair damaged facilities. Now we have to allocate some personnel to explore the newly added areas and formulate new island plans, especially during the integration and upgrade process, resource points that may appear will be more The goal is to detect it as soon as possible and build a mining farm to mine raw material resources.

Not only that, at the port terminal, the third shipyard at the military port has laid the foundation and started construction work. At the civilian port, a large number of workers are constantly busy, adding berths one by one. It is so busy. What a joy.

There are also a large number of people busy in the small space. The rewards from the system this time are not small, including a lot of scientific and technological manuals and battleship construction drawings. After the scientific research center obtains these things, it is like a treasure.

Regardless of whether these technologies are advanced or not, and how low-end the performance of the warships are, they are of great reference value to these scientists. By learning from each other, they can develop warships and other ancillary products with better performance.

After the Second Squadron returned to the port of Yuntong Island, Ye Bai took the Yanhuang to the outer sea area again. Under strict monitoring, it transformed into a base form, and a large number of newly built and damaged ships in the shipyard were repaired. All the battleships were released, including the defense fleet rewarded by the system, and they were also materialized.

After the Yanhuang, which had once again returned to its battleship form, docked at the port of Yuntong Island with a large number of battleships, the first military meeting was held in the war situation center. The main topic was to discuss the establishment of the Chinese fleet.

Although Ye Bai was the newly appointed lord and the supreme commander of the fleet, he only acted as the organizer of the military meeting. Nimitz was responsible for all the specific contents of the meeting.

Before the meeting, Nimitz had already discussed with a group of military leaders and roughly determined the latest establishment of the Chinese fleet. Now it was just a formal announcement in the form of a meeting.

At the same time, it was also because during this period of time, Ye Bai was a little idle and bored, and he got another good thing in his hand. When his hands were itchy, a big draw came.

That's right, it's a big card draw. Capturing an aboriginal island will bring you benefits not only from the rewards from the system, but also from the large amount of materials and equipment stored in the island's warehouse.

Although these invisible rewards are not directly calculated by the system, they are still trophies that belong to the players. Ye Bai can be said to have made a lot of money this time.

According to the statistics of Zhou Guolai and Qiu Haonan, a large amount of materials were obtained from various warehouses on Yuntong Island this time. Of course, a large part of them are basic living and industrial materials such as raw materials, food, fresh water, etc. Let’s not say whether they are valuable or not. , the key is large quantity.

Zhou Guolai and Qiu Haonan estimated that even before the integration and upgrade, with the large inventory of materials in the island warehouse, in addition to meeting the daily needs of 800,000 people on the island, Yuntong Island can also provide nearly 3,000 player warships. Sufficient logistical supplies.

Now that Yuntong Island has undergone an integration upgrade, the area has expanded a bit. It can cultivate more farmland and build more pastures, factories and other facilities. The output of logistics materials will also be increased, and more domestic warships will be used to provide logistics. Supplies have been supplied.

The reserve of raw materials is also quite large. After all, it is a long-term reserve of an aboriginal island. Because its own shipbuilding capacity is limited, only a small part of it is consumed. Most of the raw materials are stored in the warehouse. Now everything is cheaper for Ye Bai.

After statistics and calculations, these raw materials are enough for the shipyard in a small space to once again build a powerful fleet of the same size as the defense fleet rewarded by the system.

Of course, the loot materials on Yuntong Island are not only the conventional materials stored in the warehouse, but also a small number of but quite precious equipment, props, etc.

Not to mention those equipments. Most of them are land warfare equipment, spare parts for battleships or carrier-based aircraft. Ye Bai doesn't like them at all, and has no intention of continuing to equip them. However, it is not cost-effective to destroy them directly. Haven't figured out how to deal with it.

In terms of props, Ye Bai was given another surprise. There were actually a lot of officer recruitment cards and talent recruitment cards, which were exactly the same as those Ye Bai had used before. It was just a pity that there were no dungeon orders or fleet orders among them. Rare props.

Ye Bai asked Qiu Haonan where these officer recruitment cards and talent recruitment cards came from, but the guy couldn't tell himself. Anyway, these things existed after he took charge of Yuntong Island.

However, at that time, Qiu Haonan and the senior officials under him had lost their status as players, and these recruitment cards were no longer used and could only be left in the warehouse to gather dust.

As for the emergence of players later, these recruitment cards can indeed be used as rewards for players' missions. However, as players, they know very well that unless it is a large-scale mission, they will not be willing to easily reward such good things to players. Players, this means that a large number of recruitment cards can only be stored in the warehouse and eat dust.

With the expansion of the fleet, Ye Bai originally wanted to continue to recruit a group of senior officers to improve the fleet's command capabilities. Ye Bai, who had obtained tens of billions of funds from Yuntong Island, originally planned to spend a lot of money to recruit directly from the system. Well, it turned out that these recruitment cards saved him a lot of money.

Of course, the excited Ye Bai didn't know that just after he obtained the status of lord, the recruitment function of the system had changed. The most important thing was the recruitment of officers.

In the past, as long as players had money, they could directly recruit officers of any military rank from the system except marshals. But it was different now. In addition to being unable to recruit marshals, even general-level officers could not be recruited.

Through the system, you can only directly recruit lieutenant-level and school-level officers. Such officers are naturally enough for ordinary players. After all, school-level officers are enough to serve as captains, but they just want to serve as fleet commanders. Official, but somewhat unqualified.

If you want to recruit officers with military ranks above the general level, the only way left now is to recruit randomly using recruitment cards.

In the past, Ye Bai had a lot of money in his hands, but he did not recruit senior officers aggressively. This was because the scale of the Chinese fleet was limited and there were too many senior officers without suitable positions to place them. Now, with the change of identity and the expansion of the fleet, it is precisely When a large number of mid-level and senior officers are urgently needed to be supplemented.

Therefore, Ye Bai did not retain any of the officer recruitment cards and talent recruitment cards obtained from Yuntong Island, but used them all, adding a large number of officers and even talents from various industries to the Chinese fleet.

Ye Bai did not pay attention to those non-military talents. He handed them over directly to Zhou Guolai and asked him to distribute them. Some of them entered the small space and some were assigned to Yuntong Island.

But among the military talents, Ye Bai once again gained a lot. Although most of the officers were middle and low-level officers at the rank of school or lieutenant, there were also more than a dozen general-level officers.

The key is that among these general-level officers, names familiar to Ye Bai once again appeared, such as Admiral Cunningham, Rear Admiral Arleigh Albert Burke, Admiral Halsey, etc., although these people each They are all good at different things, but there is no doubt that they are all very good candidates for fleet commanders.

It is also because of the addition of these general-level officers that the originally completed fleet organization plan needs to be adjusted. After all, these outstanding naval generals must be given a suitable position.

Under the leadership of Nimitz, the meeting lasted for a long time. Brand-new fleets were formed one after another. First, they used the captured heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers with relatively backward performance to form a fleet. Support a small fleet to serve as a defense fleet for various occupied resource points.

The tasks of these small fleets are relatively easy, and the ability requirements for the commanders are not high, and they are basically filled by naval colonels.

In addition, some escort aircraft carriers and battlecruisers are used as the core, and a large number of light and heavy cruisers and destroyers are used to form an escort fleet, which is responsible for transporting raw materials between various resource points and Yuntong Island. The fleet provided escort, and the commander of this escort fleet was Rear Admiral Arleigh Albert Burke..
