The expansion of the air combat unit was not achieved overnight.

If you rush to the top, Shayin Village doesn't have so many resources, and the wingsuit armor developed by gathering the strength of the whole village is really too expensive.

In addition, the requirements for selecting members of the air combat unit are also very high, and a batch of wing armor has been created, and it will be embarrassing if you can't find enough qualified people to manipulate it.

If the thirteen trainees personally selected and trained by Daimaru are counted as the first phase, and the second phase is expanded, including three cadres who operate the wingsuit armor and swifts, logistics assistance, and daily clerical work, Daimaru asks for the establishment of thirty people.

In Daimaru's vision, the number of front-line combat members of the air combat unit would be maintained at about 12 to 150, and the total number of combat members would not exceed 180 if the others were included.

If the war mobilization is fully launched in the Sand Hidden Village, it is estimated that there will be more than 12,000 official ninjas above the middle ninja, and it would be good to be able to maintain half of this number in peacetime.

According to the information that Oromaru knows, in the entire Sand Hidden Village, the total number of upper ninja is about one-twentieth of the number of middle ninja, and the proportion of wealthy Konoha Murami is slightly higher, but it is also limited.

After the weakening of the "Konoha Collapse Plan" and the repeated conflicts with Iwa Shinobi, there are still a lot of shortages between the upper ninja and the middle ninja.

Because he took back part of the mission share from Konoha Village, he was theoretically able to feed more ninjas.

In today's ninja world, the war in the ninja world seems to be unable to start for a while, the five major ninja villages have not started an arms race, and the sand hidden village has no intention of provoking a big war, just preparing to restore its strength as soon as possible.

Therefore, a front-line ninja army like the Air Combat Force, which is completely in the service of war and is quite expensive, even if everyone knows that it is very useful, still has no intention of spreading out in a large area.

The overall size is maintained at about one-third to one-half of the number of shinobi, which is the limit set by the village for Daimaru in the number of air combat troops.

The budget of the air combat unit was cut out of the training funds of the upper ninja, and this hint, Daimaru understood.

At the top of Sand Hidden Village, the new ninja army created by Daimaru is equivalent to the status of the upper ninja, and its strategic value is even higher.

For now, it can't be said that we don't pay attention to it.

This number is completely sufficient, and the number of wingsuit armor, as well as the difficulty in personnel selection, make it impossible to fill the number at all.

In addition, it is impossible for Daimaru to focus all his energy on selecting qualified people and training batch after batch of trainees.

Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, since the air combat unit has been formally established, it will definitely have to come in handy.

In the conference room of the House of Wind Shadow, the general Gravel under Fu Yi's command rushed back from the northern fortress in the dust, and was explaining the latest movements of Iwa Shinobi to everyone.

After being promoted to Shangnin, Omaru, who participated in this kind of high-level meeting for the first time, secretly speculated that there was a group of descendants under his command, and Omaru, who barely had some influence, should not be qualified to talk to the big politics of Sand Hidden Village to the end.

"So, that's when you need me...... and the time for the air combat troops!'

After showing the layout of the front line to everyone present, Grit said loudly:

"Iwa Shinobi should also realize that he can't take advantage of it anymore, but he still doesn't want to retreat, and the defense of the northern fortress still can't be careless......"

"I'm in trouble......"

Fu Yi frowned, and his old-fashioned face showed a hint of gloom,

"From last year to this year, the confrontation has been almost a year, and the conflicts have never stopped, and it is very detrimental to us that it continues to be consumed like this......"

Among the five ninja villages, Shayin Village is the most intolerant of protracted warfare, and its resources are too poor, and once it cannot be resolved quickly, the "secondary disasters" caused by reckless military force are even more serious than the losses on the battlefield.

For example, there is a shortage of food and water, the supply of armaments and materials is not timely, and a large number of entrusted tasks cannot be completed in time, resulting in the share being snatched by other ninja villages.

Konoha Village did promise to return some of the benefits to the Sand Hidden Village, but if he didn't have the ability to take it back, he wouldn't blame others.

Long Sha put down the information in his hand and asked a little strangely:

"Is it necessary for Iwa Shinobu to be so unrelenting? Since we have no intention of fighting a big war, it is the right choice to stop here......"

In fact, many people present had such questions, and Fuyi from the north of Jiuzhen explained:

"Although Iwa Shinobi's individual strength is not good, but it is still difficult to entangle together, Onoki is an experienced leader, under his leadership, Iwakuin Village is particularly united, Iwa Shinobi's will to fight is very high, because he is good at group combat, it is very valuable to use the combat power of each Iwa Shinobi......"

"Isn't that more puzzling?"

Huang Sha asked inexplicably,

"In such a small-scale conflict, Iwa Shinobi does not have the upper hand, whether it is fighting alone or in small teams, our Sand Shinobi are stronger than them, and the losses are much smaller......"

If the two major military groups fight a protracted war, the loss of personnel will be more than the outbreak of a major war, and the sand ninja and Iwa ninja who died in guerrilla and temptation conflicts are several times more than the ninjas killed in the previous three ninja wars combined.

"Iwakuin Village is richer than us......"

Fu Yi sighed helplessly,

"Actually, all of us died in the war, and a large part of them were mercenaries hired by that despicable and shameless guy of Onoki with money......"

Renegades, wandering ninjas, down-and-out samurai, and even secret organizations.

Among the five ninja villages, in addition to Konoha Village, the one who knows the most about the "Akatsuki" organization is Iwakuin Village, and Onoki even once hired the rebel ninja of the "Akatsuki" organization to intervene in the war between small countries.

"That's ......"

Huang Sha Muran nodded.

The others present were also a little helpless.

In the era of relative peace when the ninja war could not be fought, many ninja quotas were cut in each village, and the combat power remained at a low point.

However, the conflicts between the ninja villages have never stopped, there is no need to expand the armament war, and the existing manpower is not enough to deal with all the challenges.

What to do?

Some wandering ninja groups and renegade groups that were hired by the Five Great Ninja Villages to fight proxy wars came into being.

In Onoki's mind, the "Akatsuki" organization is not much different from the hired ninjas who were paid to send them to death in the past, and they are even less daring, and never directly intervene in the conflict between the five ninja villages.

Among the five ninja villages, Konoha Village and Yunyin Village are strong, and there is no need to spend money to invite mercenaries; Wuyin Village itself is fighting internally, and it has no time to invite "foreign aid" to add to the chaos; There is no money in Shayin Village, so I can't afford it; Only Iwakuin Village has the most dealings with the mercenary ninja groups that specialize in selling wars that ask for money and don't want their lives, and they have both that need and a little money, and they can hire some cannon fodder from time to time to maintain the situation.
