The recruitment of the soldiers of the Sailor Division went smoothly, and because Locke and they released the news in advance, almost the entire Holman Kingdom had people who had this idea and came to participate in the selection held by Locke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The number of people is a bit beyond Locke's imagination, after all, there will never be a shortage of talents in a country!

Because the Senna army has always won battles and successfully preserved the Holman Kingdom, it has been regarded as a hero by the people of Horman, and the people have no resistance to the Senna army.

When the number of people increased, Locke's selection criteria became stricter, and the team of nearly 100,000 people was brushed off by Locke, leaving only about 10,000 people!

And 10,000 people, Locke doesn't know if he can finish them all, after all, the Longjiang River is so big, a river that is not very large, and it would be irregular for him to make a super-large-scale naval army.

Medium-sized ships such as frigates and destroyers generally only need to be equipped with more than 200 to 300 people, and the fleet that Locke intends to build, at present, can only be equipped with a maximum of ten destroyers and frigates.

Even with the large number of small ships, the sailors of the Senna Army are currently only able to recruit six or seven thousand people at most!

Therefore, he has to choose again, out of these 10,000 people, another 3,000 people will be eliminated!

The selection is very simple, it is nothing more than the screening of mental character and the mastery of water.

Locke didn't need too many rough men, he had enough and advanced enough weapons to make his soldiers more aggressive, so he was more concerned about conduct.

And after another screening by Locke and Boposa, they also eliminated some people who were not very ideal.

In the end, they also left 8,000 people!

There is always a need for a little more people, they also need people to be in charge of logistics or something, and it is impossible for everything to be done by the sailor soldiers.

After the selection of manpower, Locke also began to select the battleship in the arms system.

To deal with these natives of the other world, he doesn't need too advanced weapons, such as missiles, which are not used at all, or it is a bit of a fuss to kill chickens.

As long as the battleship has naval guns and other guns of various calibers and some torpedoes, it is enough, relying on these guns and torpedoes, Locke is confident that all the naval divisions and navies in this world will be dismounted!

"Do you spend 800,000 arms worth to exchange for a Chinese Aegis-class destroyer?"

"Yes!"

"Do you spend 800,000 arms worth to exchange for a Chinese Aegis-class destroyer?"

"Yes!"

......

In the face of the prompts that popped up, Locke chose without hesitation that although there were better destroyers to use, Locke still chose this Chinese Aegis-class destroyer, because the word China had a special affection for him!

And to deal with these scum, even if the Chinese Aegis-class destroyer is not the best destroyer, it is completely enough to deal with the natives of this world!

Locke exchanged a total of six destroyers and spent 4.8 million in arms value, so much arms value, if he changed it before, it would definitely make him feel distressed for a while, but now he has hundreds of millions of arms value, which is just a drop in the bucket for him!

The normal displacement of the Aegis-class destroyers is 5,800 tons, and the full load displacement is 6,100 tons, which are just enough to meet the needs of the Longjiang River.

And in addition to exchanging six Chinese Aegis-class destroyers, Locke also exchanged for five 054A-class frigates, which are also made in China!

The displacement of the 054A-class frigate is about 4,000 tons, and the full load displacement is only more than 4,000 tons, which is fully capable of being used in the Longjiang River.

Eleven medium-sized warships fell into the water, which immediately made the Longjiang River Wharf lively, and those sailors who had just joined in were stunned one by one when they saw these huge warships!

They swore that they had never seen such a huge warship in their lives, let alone seen it, they had never heard of such a shocking warship in this world in their lives!

And one thing that is even more worthy of their attention is that these ships of the Senna Army are all made of steel, unlike this other sailors, all of which are made of wood.

This means that once they enter the battle, their warships can rush up and ram the enemy's warships with impunity, and it is believed that under the impact of these steel behemoths, any wooden warship will be sunk by them!

In this case, what kind of overboard battle are you worried about, the enemy's warships don't dare to let them get close at all!

In fact, as long as someone pays attention to it, you can immediately find that the equipment of the Senna army seems to be all iron products, and it is not like the army of this era is full of countless wooden products.

Iron products are undoubtedly of much better quality than wood products, at least for the war season!

And the sailors can also see the huge gun barrels on the warship, they are not those natives of other kingdoms who have not seen the artillery units of the Sena army, on the contrary, the characteristics of the various arms of the Senna army have now formed an impression, deeply imprinted in the minds of the Holman people.

Ironclad ships and giant cannons, such a combination is simply invincible, so that when they are engaged with the enemy, wouldn't they be able to crush it?

Like the current Senna Army?

The thought of this makes the sailors excited, and the man who does not want to enjoy the victory, the man who does not desire to look at his enemies with awe!

Seeing the expressions of the sailors, Locke was very satisfied, what he wanted, this is the effect!

Only by cheering up the soldiers first, so that they have a belief in victory in their hearts, and firmly believe that they are invincible, only in this way, when the real battle begins, they will not have stage fright!

Now Locke has made eleven medium-sized ships, which are about 3,000 people, and each Aegis-class destroyer is equipped with 300 sailors, and the 054A-class frigate Locke is equipped with 200 people each.

But in this way, there are still 5,000 people left in his naval army, and he has to solve these problems!

Fortunately, now Locke is only equipped with medium-sized ships, and small ships are not equipped yet, so now he can look at the number of sailors to decide how many small ships he wants to equip.

Each of those small ships has a displacement of only a few hundred tons, and even if they are equipped with more, except for being a little more crowded, there are no major safety risks, so Locke doesn't need to worry too much.
