Chapter 66: Preparations for Battle
The purpose of collecting the Soul Orb is very simple, that is, to strengthen the power of the fleet's artillery at the same time, and exchange the collected more Soul Orbs for a single resource, aluminum.
With enough aluminum to support Lexington's consumption, the battle plan formulated by Jiang Yan and Alice can work.
After sinking a deep-sea fleet and selectively extracting two heavy cruiser-class soul beads, the Jiang family fleet continued to sail and pursued the rest of the deep-sea fleets in the habitat.
It was only at dusk that the fleet began to return home, and by this time all the high-altitude reconnaissance planes summoned by Lexington had not yet attacked.
In this way, for three consecutive days, Jiang Yan had to cultivate as a commander, but the harvest in three days was extremely gratifying.
18 Heavy Patrol Soul Beads and 7 Light Patrol Soul Beads can be exchanged for units with more than 10,000 resources.
The consumption is only less than 400 units of aluminum, and the heavy fuel oil and ammunition are replenished from the body of the deep-sea habitat ship.
"In this way, it may not take three months to gather 100,000 units of heavy oil, which should also meet the transformation needs of fireflies. ”
Before obtaining the aircraft carrier mother, it is unthinkable to have such a harvest during the daytime for three consecutive days.
Now, Jiang Yan even began to think about whether he wanted to work hard.
Knock knock!
There was a gentle knock on the door of the study, Jiang Yan's thoughts were broken, as if he remembered something, and suddenly a wry smile suddenly appeared, and then he said, "Lao Luo, come in." ”
"Yes. ”
Rodney's blue eyes hid a happy smile, and said, "Young Master, I'm back." ”
When Jiang Yan heard this familiar knock on the door, he remembered that even if he wanted to work hard, he would have to ask Rodney if he agreed~
"Why, so happy, did you go back this time to see Lao Na?"
Rodney's soft face flushed slightly, and he said, "Well, Sister Nelson just came back from outside. ”
Jiang Yan teased: "You haven't forgotten what I explained, have you!?"
"It's done. Rodney said with a sneer.
"Very well, gather the resources one more time, and the plan can begin. Jiang Yan clapped his hands and said with confidence.
Rodney said curiously: "Young Master, you haven't explained to us what the specific plan is!"
Jiang Yan was about to extract the rough chart drawn by Lexington and explain it to Rodney, when Karlsruhe said: "Half a month later. ”
It means that you will naturally know after half a month.
"Uh..." Jiang Yan glanced at Karlsruhe, and suddenly felt a headache, so he could only wink at Rodney.
Rodney naturally noticed the young master's small movements, and his blue eyes also blinked twice, and then said, "Then young master, I'll go change my clothes first." ”
Jiang Yan knew that Rodney was going to take a bath, and some wanted to help, handing out towels, rubbing his back, or something, but as soon as he stood up, he heard Karlsruhe say: "Admiral, you still have work to teach your subordinates today!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Yan could only sit down again, and Rodney glanced at Karlsruhe gratefully, and hurriedly left.
I'm really afraid that the young master will find some reason to come over!
Karlsruhe then said: "Admiral, there is no need to tell us in detail about the battle plan you have drawn up, everyone just needs to strictly follow the order, otherwise it will increase the workload of the Admiral." ”
"That's where you're wrong. Jiang Yan denied.
Karlsruhe was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "Please point it out." ”
Jiang Yan asked, "What if you encounter an unexpected situation when you go out on the expedition?"
"All you have to do is ask the Admiral for advice. Karlsruhe said.
"Then what if I'm not around?" Jiang Yan said: "For example, if you go on an expedition to salvage resources from the resource production area owned by the empire, and encounter an unexpected situation on the way, what should you do?"
Across the Neutral Sea, the Admiral doesn't want to contact his ship's mother, unless the Admiral is also outside the Neutral Sea.
"This..." Karlsruhe was speechless.
Jiang Yan continued: "This requires the ship's own judgment as the flagship's mother, so every ship's mother has the need to have a clear commander's battle plan, or in this expedition, I fainted in the impact of a certain shelling, and the ship's mother who knows the plan can make a judgment." ”
Karlsruhe immediately knelt down on one knee and said sincerely: "Admiral, it is a subordinate who has not considered it well, please punish the Admiral." ”
"You're also doing it with the good intentions of reducing my workload. Jiang Yan touched her head and said with a smile: "That's it, take off your shoes and socks, you can't put them on for a day today, I like to see you bare-legged." ”
Karlsruhe was stunned, his eyes widened, and the silver hair on his head throbbed uneasily, as if he was about to cry.
Finally, she mechanically stripped her shoes and stockings, exposing her fair, slender legs to the air.
Jiang Yan asked funny, "What are you shaking?"
"No, nothing. Karlsruhe said unnaturally, but his legs were still trembling slightly.
Jiang Yan smiled, since the last time Karlsruhe's socks were forcibly removed by herself, she had discovered her condition, and she seemed to be particularly uneasy about standing barefoot and barefoot.
Naturally, this became the best way to teach Karlsruhe the mistakes she had made.
・・・
After a week of recuperation in the combat port, Jiang Yan once again set out to the Lithri Habitat, followed by Alice's fleet.
Abrolambi had a more powerful gun, but it was too slow, only a little faster than the maximum speed of the ship's unshipwed, and almost twice as slow as Rodney and the rest of the battleships.
Having reached the deep-sea habitat, the two fleets sailed in two directions.
This time, the Jiang fleet encountered a deep-sea fleet led by a battle cruiser-class perch, and after sinking it, it contacted Alice and came to salvage it.
A heavy cruiser mother, it seems to be called Hipper.
After the salvage, Alice's lips turned white and her face was equally bad, although the salvage was successful and she got a heavy cruiser with high data in the three-star rank, it also meant that a salvage opportunity was wasted.
Again, take at least a week's break.
Jiang Yan said: "Go back and prepare, the next expedition is the time to take out the stronghold in the middle of the habitat, and then you can safely summon souls near the sunken sea area of the mountain city." ”
"Well, be careful. Alice said a word, and let her fleet sail back.
Jiang Yan turned around and ordered: "This position is fine, start the arc sailing." ”
"Yes. ”
For the next two days, the Jiang fleet did not go beyond the sea area it had reached on the first day, and returned at dusk on the third day.
Harvest two Battle Patrol Soul Beads, 15 Heavy Patrol Soul Beads, and 10 Light Patrol Soul Beads.
Subsequently, Jiang Yan asked Rodney to bring back 10 Heavy Patrol and Light Patrol Soul Beads to exchange, and also exchange all of them for aluminum.
The two Battle Patrol Soul Orbs and the remaining five Heavy Patrol Soul Orbs will strengthen the artillery power of Karlsruhe and Helena respectively.
Ten days later, the two fleets, a total of twenty-one ships, were ready to fight in the port.
