Liu Huaizhong, the naval minister of the Liuyun Empire, did not stay in Xingang City for long, and in the afternoon of the same day, he left Xingang City on the former dreadnought battleship Lujiang, and Tang Guoyi, the senior staff of the Admiralty, also left, and this time Tang Guoyi had a meal in Xingang City before leaving.

With Liu Huaizhong leaving, there were nearly four hundred naval officers and soldiers of the Celestial Star Empire, these people were all captured in the last naval battle, and now the Celestial Star Empire and the Liuyun Empire have not only negotiated peace, but also become an alliance, Liu Huaizhong hopes that Su Yi can unconditionally release these prisoners of war of the Celestial Star Empire, and Su Yi agreed very happily.

After the Minister of the Navy, Liu Huaizhong, left, Su Yi couldn't help but smile when he looked at the holy decree in his hand to canonize him as a hereditary earl and make the entire Xingang County his hereditary fief.

Su Yi didn't expect that he would become a hereditary earl, and he actually completed the hidden task of "promoting to nobility" in the system, and rewarded Su Yi with five silver treasure chests.

Su Yi saw that five silver treasure chests were rewarded, his heart moved, and then he opened these five silver treasure chests one after another, and sure enough, as Su Yi thought before, it may be that the system saw the huge threat that Su Yi was facing, and once again gave Su Yi a charcoal in the snow.

Four Silver Chests have been opened for one-time supplies, including two British Giant-class battleships and two German King-class battleships.

The British Giant-class battleship, with a standard displacement of 20,225 tons, a full load displacement of 23,050 tons, a maximum speed of 21 knots, is equipped with five twin 50x caliber 305 mm main guns, twenty 50 times caliber 102 mm secondary guns, three 533 mm torpedo tubes, 279 mm main armor on the side belt, 76 mm deck armor, 279 mm main turret armor, and a crew of 757 people.

The German King-class battleship, with a standard displacement of 23,581 tons, a full load displacement of 29,200 tons, and a maximum speed of 21 knots, was equipped with five twin 50x caliber 305 mm main guns, fourteen 45 times caliber 150 mm secondary guns, ten 88 mm rapid-fire guns, five 500 mm torpedo tubes, 350 mm main armor on the side belts, 30 mm on all three decks, 300 mm in the main turret armor, and a crew of 1,136 people.

The ammunition required for giant-class battleships and King-class battleships, in addition to 102 mm shells, is sold in the mall, but the system is still so intimate, and the last silver treasure chest did not open a one-time material, but opened a card, 102 mm shells (unit price 850 yuan, monthly purchase limit of 500,000 pieces).

Both battleships are dreadnought battleships, and they are dreadnought battleships with very good performance, and they can even compete with super dreadnought battleships equipped with 343mm guns.

Su Yi put down the holy decree in his hand, and then said to Wang Chengliang with a smile: "You Xingang...... No, it should be called the Independent Fleet, and four more dreadnoughts can be added immediately, and I'll go to the port in a while, extract them, and you can equip these four dreadnoughts with officers and men as soon as possible. ”

By February, the number of army-type primary combat biochemical personnel under Su Yi's command had increased by 12,500, and the number of navy-type primary combat biochemical personnel had increased by 24,000, so Su Yi did not need to worry about the situation of having a ship and no one.

Wang Chengliang hurriedly nodded and said: "Marshal, now the naval officers and soldiers who are incorporated into the infantry wing are nearly 27,000 people, and there is absolutely no problem in equipping the four dreadnought battleships with officers and men, and my subordinates guarantee that these four dreadnought battleships will be able to form combat effectiveness immediately." ”

Su Yi continued: "The navy of the Shalad Empire, we don't have to think about it for the time being, if the navy of the Shalad Empire wants to reach Newport City, it must walk at least more than 10,000 nautical miles, but the navies of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire only need to walk more than 2,000 nautical miles and more than 3,000 nautical miles respectively to reach Newport City, and the independent fleet must be ready to fight a tough battle at any time!" ”

"Don't worry, as long as the navies of the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire don't pour out, with the current strength of the independent fleet, it is enough to defeat the invading enemy!"

Wang Chengliang said this sentence with full confidence, if four more dreadnought battleships are added, the independent fleet that has just been renamed will have ten dreadnought battleships, six of which are still super dreadnought battleships, such a strength can be ranked among the world's top ten navies.

Su Yi then said to He Yunfei, who commanded the army troops: "At present, the strength of the Xingang Independent Infantry Wing has exceeded 25,000 people, and the establishment is too bloated, I am ready to reorganize the Xingang Independent Infantry Wing into the Xingang Garrison Force, and temporarily set up three infantry wings, Yunfei serves as the commander of the Xingang Garrison Force, and the special wing composed of naval officers and soldiers is not part of the Xingang garrison force, and is still under my direct command. ”

He Yunfei immediately said: "Marshal, there were originally more than 4,000 wounded soldiers in the six hospitals in Xingang City, and now more than 2,500 wounded soldiers have been discharged from the hospital, many of them want to join us, almost a thousand people, can the Xingang garrison recruit these people?" ”

He Yunfei's words made Su Yi hesitate, "Yunfei, now every month, our navy and army can add up to 36,500 people, is it necessary to recruit those more than 2,000 wounded soldiers into the Xingang garrison?" What's more, I have too many secrets on my body, and I don't trust anyone else in this world except for you soldiers who are absolutely loyal to me! ”

"Dashuai, if you want to be in a safe place, it is enough to have our people, but if Dashuai wants to create a career in this world, his subordinates feel that more ordinary people must join us."

Su Yi turned to Wang Chengliang and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Marshal, I agree with Brother He's suggestion, there are only forty officers under my command who are really capable of serving as captains, and the other officers and soldiers have limited talents, and it is useless to train them, if the independent fleet wants to become a world-class fleet, it must cultivate ordinary people with command ability in the future."

In the end, Su Yi agreed with He Yunfei's opinion, but instead of directly integrating the more than 1,000 wounded soldiers who had recovered from the hospital and discharged them into the three infantry wings of the Xingang garrison, he set up a separate infantry brigade, and also transferred more than 500 biochemical officers and soldiers to supplement this infantry brigade.

According to Su Yi's idea, although he will recruit ordinary people to join the army under his command in the future, he must retain a part of the troops composed entirely of cyborgs as his descendants, and among the troops composed of ordinary people, there must also be a certain proportion of cyborgs officers and soldiers to ensure that these troops will not get out of his control.

Su Yi also personally formulated the military salaries of officers and soldiers at all levels of this infantry brigade, and the monthly military salary for ordinary soldiers is five silver dollars, which is the same as that of the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire, but the phenomenon of deducting military salaries is common in the Royal Army of the Liuyun Empire, and the military salary that a soldier of the Royal Army can get every month is actually only two or three silver dollars, or even less.

As for the three infantry wings of the Xingang garrison and more naval officers and soldiers, due to the limited problem of funds, they still won't be paid for the time being, but fortunately, the biochemical people don't care too much about whether Su Yi gives them military salaries.

When Su Yi took control of Xingang City, there were about 200,000 in the entire Xingang City, in order to curb the price of grain in the city, Su Yi set up several stores specializing in selling rice and canned meat, so far, Su Yi has accumulated more than 200,000 silver dollars by selling rice and canned meat, and he does not dare to pay all the officers and soldiers under his command, otherwise he will go bankrupt immediately.
