There should definitely be a reasonable arrangement for recruiting new warships. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Levi now already has a Devo merchant ship and a heavy Galie warship, with a total of nearly two hundred and thirty people, and the daily food, drink, and Lazar are also a huge expense.

Of course, Levi also thought about recruiting new warships, but he also gave up because of living expenses and maintenance problems, but in this current situation, he can't help but continue to accumulate points and follow the idea of making a lot of money.

He used to be just a small businessman, but he slowly developed and collected magic items, and after reaching 10,000 energy points, he was able to upgrade the system, and when the time came, he could recruit more advanced ships, which could be regarded as a step to the sky. At least dozens of artillery ocean-going warships, except for those top warships with hundreds of guns as trump cards in various countries, can already be regarded as the overlord of the era of sail warships.

But now that he is the lord of Cape Town, and the water pirates of the Ketuv River are his main threat at the moment, he must now implement a military-first development path to ensure the safety of himself and his territory.

"The Devo merchant ships can not be considered, then there are only two kinds of warships, light and heavy."

Squinting slightly, the dialog box that had entered the [Recruitment Options] in Levi's eyes was still extremely clear. The Devo merchant ship he currently owns is already able to complete the daily procurement and transportation work, and the trading point he now has is only the outer harbor area of Grey Mist City, so there is no point in continuing to recruit a merchant ship.

Levi needed a ship capable of fighting, so the heavy Garena with 77 sailors and four 7-pounder guns, and the light Cale, with 19 sailors and three seven-pounder guns, were his best options now.

However, considering Levi's current silver coin reserves and future living expenses, he also had extremely careful considerations for these two types of Galie warships.

Now Levi already has more than 200 sailors, and his daily expenses are mostly three meals. But it was the brown bread, bacon and fruit needed for these three meals that had already exhausted him.

More than 200 people consume five barrels of sawdust-smelling black bread, one barrel of hard bacon like stones, and two barrels of the cheapest apples every day.

"First Officer Green, if we continue to recruit sailors, how many can we sustain now?"

Levi didn't think about it for too long, after all, with the two more professional veterans of First Officer Green and Captain Hall, he only needed to mention his thoughts a little.

Turning to look at the two people behind him, Li Wei also nodded and asked, "I mean, it can ensure safety and block the invasion of those water thieves." ”

"Sustain the quantity?" First Officer Green also instantly understood Levi's thoughts, turned his head to look at the two ships on the dock not far away, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "The number must not be too much, we can't maintain the scale of more than five hundred sailors." ”

First Officer Green, who has always served as a financial officer and housekeeper, can be called erudite and talented, not only familiar with business, but also good at management. He quickly calculated their current savings and the daily expenses of the current two hundred men, and quickly came to a conclusion, and continued: "If we recruit more sailors, then our overall number should be maintained at about five hundred. ”

"yes, I think so too." Captain Hall also nodded, although he was good at leading the soldiers to fight bravely, it did not delay him from thinking about this matter in the military aspect: "Five hundred men is indeed the best choice, after all, we also need to build a temporary camp, too many people will only look bloated, and it will only cause unnecessary expenses and waste." ”

"Five hundred?"

But Li Wei did not frown slightly at this, the size of five hundred people was indeed less, even with the weapon advantage of flintlock pistols and artillery, it made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

After all, there were two or three thousand water thieves in the Ketufu River when they were all victorious, especially now that they had just defeated the river patrol team in Sama City and sacked the outer harbor of Grey Mist City, there must be many desperate people who went to join them, and once a large number of water thieves came to besiege him, I am afraid that the disadvantage of numbers would also be precarious.

"They don't even count as regular soldiers, so I don't think there's any need to take them too seriously."

As if sensing Levi's concern, Captain Hall also shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said very easily: "After all, it is a group of bandits who only know how to rush up with knives, under the double blow of our flintlock pistols and artillery, I estimate that they will collapse directly when they rush halfway, they don't look like elites." ”

On Earth, the era of flintlock pistols is gone, and the line infantry has left a strong mark in Europe. First Officer Green and Captain Hall, who were still in the game's era, were impressed by this, because it was the widespread flintlock pistol that threw the hedge of feudal times and cold weapons into the garbage.

In fact, Li Wei also had the impression that during the Qing Dynasty in China, Kangxi went on an expedition against Tsarist Russia, and thousands of troops attacked an earthen fort where 600 Tsarist Russian musketeers were entrenched.

The gap between the times is already a qualitative difference, and unless it is piled up in quantity, the final result will be miserable.

They are all flesh and blood people, even if they are brave and fearless, but in the face of fatal blows, the death of teammates around them, and the threat of death at any time in the future, morale cannot be kept high forever, and a person will collapse and flee.

"If it's a limit of five hundred."

Levi frowned slightly, and quickly combined the two kinds of Canadian warships in his mind, considering the current situation, he nodded without hesitation: "Then recruit one heavy Canadian warship, as well as six light Canadian warships." ”

There is already a heavy Galie warship, and the relatively large hull can be called a large warship in rivers and lakes, especially with bronze ramming horns, it can pierce everything like a raging dragon.

But after all, the Yuqiao River is only a small river, the width is only a dozen meters, and the depth is only about four meters. Only the more than 700-meter-wide Ketufu River and the coastal waters were the areas where the heavy Galie warships sailed.

Therefore, the light Canadian warship, which had only 19 sailors and was armed with 3 7-pounder guns, came into Levy's eyes.

This kind of warship, which is almost on a par with large fishing boats, is suitable for flexible operation in small waters, and makes reasonable use of oars and sails, as well as its own light characteristics, and is also a famous anti-smuggling ship and reconnaissance ship in modern European history.

Once the combat system is formed, the few thieves of the Ketufu River have been completely blocked by Levi in the Yuqiao River, and they are bound to fight on land where Levi is best at fighting, which also effectively limits the range of their attacks.

"Jingle bell..."

With the sound of metal coins colliding, the energy value of Levi's retina, which symbolized 4,000 points, had been depleted, leaving only an empty 0 with a little sadness.

But in the upper left corner, almost next to the 12-pounder falcon card next to it, there were already seven more cards about ships.

Turning his head slightly, Levi looked at the undulating sea outside the dock next to him, and his mind moved instantly, and the seven cards about the ship had turned into golden points of light and dissipated. And on the surface of the sea, a heavy Garet warship and six light Garrie battlefields were gently swaying with the waves, slowly approaching the dock.
