Chapter 498: The True Fleet That Should Be Developed in the Future

On October 3, with the departure of the post-war inspection team from the Marshal's Palace, the waters of Zhejiao were finally calm again.

Even because of the defeat in the deep sea, these days, the sea area of Nuoda Corner cannot even see the deep sea in the nascent stage, and this battle can be described as remarkable.

And Li Huamu's rewards and punishments have also come down.

The award is that Lingxinhu Island is exempted from handing over resources for three months, Li Huamu is promoted to lieutenant, and a purple thorn medal symbolizing bold combat.

The penalty is that the Lingxinhu Island port area will make an expedition to the Feizhijiao sea area by January next year and take back part of the control of the sea area.

"You really gave me a big punishment!" Li Huamu looked at the medal sent to him, and he couldn't lift any joy at all.

The reward for exempting resources from handing over for three months looks very good, and it is not surprising that Li Huamu will probably be able to accumulate about 1.8 million resources.

But Li Huamu had already learned from Innili that only his Lingxin Lake Island port area would be the only force that would expedition to the Feizhijiao Sea at that time.

Whether or not there are other assistance units depends on the combat results of Li Huamu's first unit.

Well, these resources are actually the advance payment of the district government!

Only by making rational use of these resources and greatly enhancing our own strength can we meet the challenges of the expedition in the future.

"Do you have any thoughts on an expedition to the Flying Cape Sea by January next year?"

Li Huamu put the medal back in the box and looked up at all the shipwives present.

In the tactical command room at this moment, all the capital ships under Li Huamu's command were present, and King Kong and Frederick the Great were also sitting on the side.

Lexington, who was surrounded by American ship mothers, walked out of the group and said to Li Huamu: "I think what we need most in our port area at present is to build a real fleet, a fleet that can independently go out to distant seas. ”

Li Huamu was very interested when he heard Lexington's words, and nodded to signal her to go on.

"At present, our small-scale and centralized fleet of ships is enough if it is used in a small sea area, but if it is put into large-scale battles, it will be too small."

"So I suggest that in the future we should develop with the goal of building a large fleet."

As soon as these words came out, the corners of King Kong's mouth curled slightly, and Frederick nodded in agreement.

The fleet should have developed like this, but the pattern in which Li Huamu was located before was too small, and others did not give advice, so he could only explore the development by himself.

Now after a real sea battle, I can clearly understand my own shortcomings.

But it will also bring about a great change of influence - the establishment of a large fleet means no more petty fights, and it means the separation of power.

The Admiral can't take care of so many fleets on his own, so the flagship of a fleet will be the secondary commander of the fleet, and will decide the fate of the fleet in battle.

Experienced shipwives like Frederick and King Kong naturally understood this truth, so their eyes on Lexington began to change.

This is an enterprising man who does not back down.

The rest of the ship's girls, including Rodney and Richelieu, thought about it a lot and knew Lexington's purpose, but they couldn't snatch her at this time.

Lexington raised his head towards Li Huamu and said what everyone expected: "I hope that the Admiral will hand over to me the formation and command of the First Fleet." ”

After Li Huamu heard this, he glanced at the expressions of the other ship girls, and none of them raised objections, so he probably came to a conclusion.

After closing his eyes and thinking about it for a while, Li Huamu looked at the tall Lexington and said, "How many people do you need to transfer to form the First Fleet?" ”

Lexington replied decisively: "Now all the American ships in the port area. ”

The words fell, and the audience was silent.

"Others can raise their opinions now." Li Huamu looked at the rest of the shipwives and said, "This meeting is to discuss the future development direction of our port area, and any opinions and suggestions can be put forward, and I will not favor any one." ”

At this time, Akagi walked out and said in the different eyes of everyone: "I support Lexington's proposal, our Minato District really needs to carry out a restructuring to deal with the complex battle in the future. ”

Even Akagi, who had always been at odds with Lexington, publicly stated his attitude at this time, and the rest of the people couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it.

Since then, no one has spoken out against or in support of it.

And Lexington showed a hint of amusement to Akagi, who stood up.

"No objection, Lexington's proposal, passed." Although this process was quite rough, Li Huamu did not hesitate and directly looked at the roster of the ship's contract in the mental space.

"Then I now announce the names of the personnel assigned to the First Fleet: Lexington, Saratoga, Raiders, North Carolina, South Dakota, Helena, Omaha, Johnston, Cassin Young, Sullivan, and ten others. ”

A typical top-heavy team, the proportion of high-level ships is too large, and the auxiliary ships are too few, and the comprehensive combat effectiveness needs to be evaluated.

Then there was the command, Li Huamu looked at Lexington and said: "Then the flagship of the First Fleet will be tentatively designated as Lexington, the deputy flagship...... Lexington, do you have any proposals? ”

Lexington saluted, and continued: "I think it is better to vacate the position of deputy flagship for the time being, and I will choose the most suitable person to serve as the deputy flagship in the next battle, and then report to you, Admiral." ”

Rodney furrowed an eyebrow, she didn't expect Lexington to act like this.

"Yes, but Lexington, you must be careful and careful in choosing this candidate." Li Hua Mu said.

Lexington smiled confidently and replied, "Understand, Admiral, leave everything to me for the First Fleet." ”

After dealing with the First Fleet, Li Huamu turned to look at the others and said, "Then do you have any other proposals next?" ”

Akagi, who had been waiting for a long time, bent down, bowed to Li Huamu, and said, "Admiral, I have the same opinion as Lexington, I want to form a second fleet. ”

The process was similar to that of the First Fleet, again with no objections, and with a tacit approval, the Second Fleet was formed.

Li Huamu didn't think much about it, and directly incorporated Akagi Kaga, Shozuru Zuizuru, Kaohsiung Maya, Tenryu Ryutian, Yubari, Isuzu, Trust, Lingbo, Akizuki Liangyue, and Fukiyuki Xili of the new contract, a total of 16 people, into the Second Fleet.

Lichicheng is the flagship, and Xianghe is the sub-flagship.

So far, the establishment of the First and Second Fleets has removed 26 people under Li Huamu's command, and now there are 19 people under Li Huamu's command.

In the corner, Prestige looked at Hood, only to see Hood shake his head slightly, and Prestige put away his thoughts.

[Now is not the right time]

The first and second fleets all relied on ships of the same country to build a team, and the remaining ones who were most likely to build a fleet were the German ships with the third largest number of people, and the British ships with the highest combat power.

But no one came forward to form a Third Fleet.

Li Huamu, who was sure that the formation of the Third Fleet was hopeless, nodded slightly and said, "Then except for the First and Second Fleets, the rest of the ships continue to act directly under my command. ”

"Understood!"

The sound in the field was loud.

"Let's move on to other things."

……

"Big sister, why don't you eat? Won't you go hungry? ”

Xiao Luo took a bottle of milk and handed it to the weak white-haired woman.

“……”

On the other side, Qiji looked at this bottle of milk and was quite speechless, and only said after a long time: "What I need is resource crystallization." ”

"But Xiao Luo doesn't have these things...... Xiao Luo squatted down in distress and said.

At this time, Xiaoluo's stomach was even more inopportune and snoring.

"Ah......" Xiao Luo blushed and hugged her belly, trying not to make her stomach make a strange noise.

On the other side, Qi Ji looked at the milk, and then at Xiaoluo, and said, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, take it and drink it, this kind of milk is dispensable to me." ”

"Is it really possible?!" Xiao Luo's eyes instantly burst into a different kind of light.

Seeing this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "I don't have the energy to lie to children, you can drink it yourself." ”

The other side returned the milk to Xiao Luo with one hand, and after Xiao Luo struggled for a while, she opened the milk and drank a few sips, and then sure enough, her stomach did not make a strange noise.

He handed the milk back to the other side.

"Don't ...... if you say it"

The other side's dissatisfied tone overflowed, but he saw Xiao Luo's big watery eyes that were extremely sincere and sincere.

"Really...... Trouble ......"

On the other side, Qi Ji picked up the milk and drank a few sips...... When she came to her senses, she inadvertently drank the rest of the milk.

I...... Are you really that hungry?

Even the other side himself stared at the empty bottle in disbelief.

"Great, my mother said that you won't get sick if you eat well, sister, you won't get better if you don't eat enough now." Xiao Luo clapped her hands happily and said.

This, the silly kid is serious......

On the other side, Qiji lowered her eyes, pinned her head to the side, and said, "I'm tired, you get out of here, remember not to mention me to your family." ”

"Then I'll come back to see my sister in the afternoon, is it okay?"

“…… Whatever you like, I don't have the strength to walk anyway. ”

"See you in the afternoon!"

Happy Xiaoluo left with ginger fish cakes, while Qiji on the other side felt a strange feeling flowing through her body.

The body is so hot...... Is it staying on land for too long......
