To put it bluntly, in an all-out war, especially in which the industrial countries are involved, the number of soldiers will always be much larger than the quality of the soldiers, especially those who are affected by the time of training and combat experience, regardless of the temporary generation difference formed by the tactics of one side or the first upgrade of weapons.

The most typical example is the Soviet Union, before World War II, almost all the veterans of the Soviet army were wiped out by the German army in the blitzkrieg at the beginning of the war, and 5 million were taken prisoner, and then the tide of the war was basically turned around by recruits; Before World War II, the U.S. regular army was less than 100,000, but within a few years, the U.S. military expanded to more than 10 million, but its combat effectiveness increased instead of decreasing; Even the German army in World War II, which has always been regarded as having outstanding soldiers, the team of 100,000 Wehrmacht troops was used as officers, and the soldiers were actually newly recruited on the eve of World War II or during the war, and it would be good to be able to complete basic training; It was only in backward countries such as China and Japan, which had a very low degree of industrialization at the same time, that the backbone role of veterans was particularly prominent......

Of course, there is a premise for this conclusion, that is, the recruits must have completed the most basic training, and because the main forces of the two major armies on the west coast of the United States have been transferred too quickly, there is no time for the training of the recruits to take shape, and even if the United States has a tradition of carrying guns by the whole people, the equally important military skills and basic tactics such as bomb throwing and earthwork and military discipline that are far more stringent than the militia still need to be cultivated from scratch, and this cannot be completed in one or two months.

Since the war on the west coast has been going on, and the obvious weakening of the combat effectiveness of the US army is impossible to hide from the Chinese army that is fighting with them, Huang Haitao, who was the first to perceive this change, immediately strengthened the offensive without hesitation, and as a result, he actually conquered Sacramento and the more important big city San Francisco in one go in one go before reinforcements arrived! Huang Haitao was finally promoted to lieutenant general and division commander because of this exploit, but what surprised him for a while was that the order sent by China later required him to let the troops repair on the spot, and did not agree to his request to pursue the victory and immediately launch an attack on Los Angeles.

However, a mountain division (shadow division) sent by China and Huang Haitao's marine division also revealed the mystery by the way, seeing those behemoths maintained by the port, Huang Haitao couldn't help laughing, he knew that there must be greater action above, and his troops had the opportunity to show their skills again, and couldn't help but think of Li Hui's words again, "Tactically, due to the need to withstand the enemy's counterattack after the beach landing, the Marine Corps will focus more on defense, but strategically, You are the most aggressive ground troops, and as senior commanders of the Marine Corps, you must keep that in mind! ”

After two months of intensive training, all senior naval officials, including Navy Minister Liu Buyun, believed that the eight new-type capital ships had formed combat effectiveness, and that the Chinese Navy had the ability to enter the Atlantic Ocean to compete with the US Navy for sea supremacy, so a fleet with the largest fleet in the history of the Chinese Navy began to assemble......

"8 Xuanyuan class (each ship is named after the ancient saint kings and legendary heroes who have great achievements in the people in ancient Chinese legends, the first ship is Xuanyuan, so it is named Xuanyuan class, because they are all legendary characters, so some people call it legendary. Battlecruisers, 12 light cruisers, 28 destroyers, a total of 48 combat warships, adding up to more than 300,000 tons of standard platoon, such a powerful fleet, what are you worried about? Yan Fu keenly noticed a little melancholy on Li Hui's face, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Looking at this old friend who had known him for many years, Li Hui sighed slightly, and confessed to him, "Judging from the strength on paper alone, our advantage in this naval battle is greater than any of the previous ones, and the Xuanyuan-level battle patrol was designed by me, and I know best how powerful she is." But now there is a little difference from before, the enemy's torpedoes can already pose a substantial threat, even if it is a Xuanyuan-level battle cruiser, it can only carry two or three, and if it is more, it may be sunk......"

"The threat of torpedoes is much greater than before." Yan Fu nodded after hearing this, but still felt that Li Hui was a little too worried, "But don't worry too much, torpedoes are not a decisive weapon after all, not to mention that we have already carried out special anti-lightning combat drills, and we have specially brought so many light cruisers and destroyers over, so we can sacrifice ourselves to save them when necessary." It's inevitable to suffer some losses, but I think as long as the lads don't make low-level mistakes, they don't affect the big picture. ”

Yan Fu is likely to be Li Hui's best friend after coming to this era, Li Hui is naturally not afraid to pour out his thoughts to him, "I'm just afraid that they will make low-level mistakes, after all, we have won the previous naval battles, and we have not lost a single capital ship, and if it sinks this time, I am afraid that their psychology will be unbalanced!" You should also know that once a person's psychology is out of balance, any low-level mistakes may ......"

These words made Yan Fu silent for a while, but he quickly shook his head and replied in an extremely affirmative tone, "I don't think the lads will be so vulnerable, do you remember?" When we fought the Battle of Dadonggou back then, it was much more dangerous than now, it was really possible to lose, or even annihilate the whole army, but it was not the same or survived, and the performance was very good? At that time, the quality of our personnel was much worse than it is now, how could we not bear it? Dongyang, you have to believe in our comrades in the Navy, they will prove themselves, just like we did back then! ”

After saying these words, Yan Fu couldn't help but persuade Li Hui and said, "Dongyang, I don't understand, China has become stronger and stronger over the years, why are you becoming more and more cautious?" ”

"I didn't have a family background before, and it was nothing to start over again if I failed, but now that my family has a big business, it is inevitable to take care of bottles and cans." , Li Hui laughed at himself, but he still thought that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, "If you govern a big country, the country is too big, and a little mistake that doesn't seem big can cause huge losses, when Emperor Yang of Sui succeeded to the throne, the country was in full swing, who would have thought that the three expeditions to Goguryeo would lose like that, and finally bury the Sui Dynasty?" ”

But Yan Fu's persuasion still played a role, at least on the current topic of discussion, Li Hui still accepted his opinion, "But the navy is indeed different from the side, the case of hard power being able to crush the opponent but being overturned has never appeared in history, and I, as a traverser, will not misjudge the strength of the enemy and us, the Eastern Expeditionary Fleet is not only the most powerful fleet in our Chinese history, but also the most powerful fleet in the history of the world, I am convinced of this!"
