When Wang Guorui said that he wanted to form a navy, this immediately made everyone thunderous. Because they are in Taiwan, they all roughly understand the current situation in Taiwan. First of all, Taiwan is an isolated island, and if there is no navy, it will not be able to open up to the outside at all, and even if you get on the ship, it will be easy to be annihilated by the enemy's navy. The army cannot exert its combat effectiveness on the ships, so once the army reaches the sea, it is a toothless tiger. When the time comes, other navies can easily eliminate them. And the reason why Wang Guorui was unable to force Japan to pay reparations this time was because Japan had a relatively very strong navy, and if Wang Guorui sent an army to attack Japan by sea, then Japan's navy could easily wipe out Wang Guorui's army, which would outweigh the losses. So in the end, he could only end up with a result of not paying compensation, which made Wang Guorui very depressed.

But next, Wang Guorui is about to form a navy, which is an inevitable choice. The dockyard of the Red Alert system has begun to prepare for shipbuilding, and the corresponding funds are gradually in place. The two million taels of silver for Japan's indemnity have also been delivered, and these two million taels of silver will be Wang Guorui's first initial fund for the formation of the navy. With this money, then it is completely possible to form a decent navy next. After all, Wang Guorui's warships of the Red Alert system are cheap, and the cost is more than ten times cheaper than the warships of other countries, so they are naturally built.

"The navy will be parallel to the army in the future. And the Navy we are currently planning to build a battleship detachment, and the battleship detachment has three battleships, and I have already started purchasing this battleship, and it will arrive in a short time. And the detachment of the warships of the Navy will be treated according to the division rank, and the captains of the three battleships will be treated according to the regimental rank. ”

"I just talked about the battleship detachment, and then we will form a cruiser detachment. The cruiser detachment also consisted of several cruisers. Probably four or six cruisers were a detachment and were also of division level, and the commander of the cruiser was also of regimental class. ”

"As for the third, that is, the destroyer detachment, which consists of destroyers and frigates. And destroyers and frigates are captained in battalion rank, three to five destroyers and frigates form a group, and then three to four groups form a destroyer detachment. The destroyer detachment will be an important force responsible for our day-to-day security in the Taiwan Strait. The day-to-day security issues in the Taiwan Strait are also the responsibility of the destroyer detachment. ”

"As for the fourth, that is, the service detachment. The naval service detachment consists of hospital ships, supply ships, tugboats, and other service warships. And the captains of these warships range from the battalion level to the deputy regimental level, and then form a detachment as a maritime service. ”

"Finally, form a marine division to be responsible for landing operations when necessary, and open a gap for the land forces that land later from the sea and land."

And when everyone heard about the formation of the Navy. Suddenly I felt a sparta. Because the strength of this navy is stronger than that of the army, and the army only has four division-level units, and the navy actually has four naval detachments equivalent to army divisions, and there is also a marine division, this navy is equivalent to five division-level units, how can this make the army here embarrassed!

"Lord Wang, is it necessary for us to build so many navies? If we want to build so many navies, I'm afraid we will spend a lot of money! And the purchase of warships, on the contrary, is secondary. Maintaining the navy is the biggest expense. If you follow the maintenance cost of a detachment, it is much more than the army. Liu Ke said.

"Haha. Liu Ke, you just took office as Minister of Logistics, and you actually care about military spending? You can rest assured, we don't have to spend money on short-term maintenance, I have my maintenance channels. Wang Guorui said.

Hearing that maintenance doesn't cost money, Liu Ke has no opinion. Anyway, he, the logistics minister, is actually living a little empty. After all, many of Wang Guorui's supplies came to them inexplicably, and everyone thought that Wang Guorui was supported by foreign forces. But in this era, everyone is like this, what can we do with the support of foreign forces, and there are also many foreign forces supporting the domestic mainland? Now I heard that Wang Guorui can not only pay for the warship by himself, but also have someone to help maintain it. Then there is no need to talk too much.

And everyone doesn't pay much attention to this navy, after all, they are all from the army, so they don't take the navy too seriously. China has been a continental army strategy since ancient times, so it does not pay much attention to the navy. What's more, China doesn't have much interest overseas, and maintaining a navy is very costly. And the ancient Chinese did not realize that the danger would come from the sea, and they all regarded the northern nomads as the source of danger, and naturally valued the army and ignored the navy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must pay attention to the navy, and you must not ignore the navy. You must know that Taiwan is an isolated island, and if we do not have a navy, then we can only be beaten and not fight back. When the time comes, even if the army can't beat us, they can send the navy to disgust us. When the time comes, the battlefield will be fought on our soil, and our losses will be very huge. And they can send a navy to blockade our Taiwan, so that our Taiwan will not be able to contact the outside world, and then in the end it can only die silently. ”

"This era is no longer the era of self-sufficiency in the past, we must develop the navy, and then go to attack and develop. The worst can also ensure that we ourselves are not humiliated, so the navy must be established and must be taken seriously. You have also studied world history during this time, and you should all know that all powerful countries are mostly pursuing navies. Britain is the number one navy in the world, so they have the title of the number one power in the world, and they have a lot of interests overseas. And France also has a top-ranked navy, making them a great power. As for the Germans, although their naval strength is relatively weak, they are also pursuing the navy. Why, isn't it because you have a navy that you can get more colonies? And Japan also demanded a navy, and this time Japan has a navy, which can guarantee that they will not be violated by us. And if they didn't have a navy in the past, then we can attack them at any time, so that they can fight until they submit to us. However, it was precisely because we did not have a navy that we had to sign a contract with Japan that would not pay reparations, but in the final analysis, we were at a loss. ”

And when everyone heard this, they all felt helpless. It was obvious that Japan invaded them, but in the end, they did not pay compensation to each other. Although this time it seems to be an equal contract between the two sides, in the end, it is actually the Taiwan side that loses. This is because the cost of training soldiers on the Taiwan side's purchase of weapons and ammunition, as well as all kinds of artillery weapons, is very high, far more than 2 million taels of silver. In this war, it was clear that Japan was the aggressor side, but in the end, there was not a penny of compensation, and this was nominally a mutual indemnity, but in fact Taiwan lost money. After all, the battlefield is on its own land, and all the losses in artillery fire are the materials and buildings on its own territory, so on the whole, Taiwan has actually suffered a big loss.

Originally, Taiwan had the strength to land on the Japanese mainland to ask for it, after all, Japan already had no army in Japan, and as long as it was about 10,000 or 20,000 troops, Japan could pay a heavy price. However, Wang Guorui and they did not have a navy, and without a navy, they could not land on the Japanese mainland to teach the Japanese a lesson, which made both sides suffer. With this experience here, everyone also has a deep contemplation, after all, this situation makes them very uncomfortable. And in the final analysis, this is that Taiwan does not have a navy, and there is no strong navy.

Although it is impossible for the Japanese navy to get close to Taiwan proper, because of the existence of Tanya, the "banshee", the Japanese navy regards the Taiwan Strait as a forbidden place. However, it is impossible for Tanya to escort the troops, after all, Taiwan is very far away from Japan, although Tanya can swim for a short distance, but once it exceeds 20 kilometers, then Tanya will not have the body to fight, so it is not feasible to rely on Tanya to escort.

And if you want to crack this qiē, you must form a navy, and it is the navy itself that can really crack the navy. Therefore, Taiwan must form a navy, which is imperative, so everyone also agrees with Wang Guorui's idea of forming a navy.

"But we don't have talent!" Hu Wei said.

Although Taiwan wants to build a navy, it does not have the talent. Navy talents are not like the army, they can go to the battlefield after a few months of training, and the rest is to let them hone and eliminate them on the battlefield. However, the navy is different, the navy needs a very large number of talents, first of all, it must know how to operate warships, and naval warfare is far more complicated than land warfare. Moreover, the industrial level of the navy should be reflected, and Taiwan, not to mention the industrial level, will say that the navy's sailors and officers do not possess it. If there were battleships without sailors, then this would be ridiculous.

And Wang Guorui heard this, and then Wang Guorui immediately said: "I can solve part of the problem of sailors, but the naval officer will also entrust Liu Feng of the General Intelligence Administration." ”

"Me?" Liu Feng was puzzled for a while.

Not only Liu Feng, but even those in the army did not quite understand why the officers of the navy entrusted Liu Feng with responsibility. Li Feng is the person in charge of intelligence, and intelligence and the navy can be said to be almost incompatible, how could he entrust Liu Feng to be in charge of the affairs of this naval officer?

However, when Wang Guorui explained, this let everyone know the specific reason. (To be continued......)
