Chapter 923: Set Sail

Speaking of being blackmailed, Hank looked helpless, and said with a bitter face: "Uncle Lane said, it's okay to want the heron, but let's supply a month's worth of seafood for free to improve the army's food." As he spoke, Hank pointed to the huge fishing net behind the warship and said, "No, now we have to make a cameo appearance as a fisherman when we come back after we go to the open sea for training every day." Wang Yong smiled and didn't say anything.

At this time, all the navy had already assembled and lined up at Matou, and the officers stood in front of their respective ranks, looking up at the figure of the lord on the high platform with burning eyes, and accepted the lord's review with the best style and full enthusiasm.

At Hank's invitation, Wang Yong stepped forward to the edge of the platform, held the fence and looked at the neat phalanx below, and for a while his heart was filled with boundless heroism, and said to a simple microphone on the fence: "Warriors of the Navy, you are the pride of the coastal province, because of your existence, our sea area has a safe guarantee, you are the guardian of the seashore, I salute you on behalf of all the people of the coastal province." As he spoke, Wang Yong stood upright and solemnly gave a military salute to all the naval soldiers.

Wang Yong's voice really reached the ears of every soldier through the speaker on the platform, and all the soldiers were stunned for a while when they saw Wang Yong saluting his subordinates. In the middle of the night, under the leadership of a few nimble-minded officers, all the officers and soldiers collectively stood upright, and with the feeling of being recognized and the determination to serve the seaside, they once again sent the promise of being a soldier to the not tall figure on the high platform.

Hank looked at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, he never thought that these subordinates who had been soaking in the sea all day long would still be so solemn, and he couldn't help but give sincere admiration to the somewhat thin looking lord in front of him.

After Wang Yong finished speaking, he saw that the soldiers were so excited, and then stepped aside after a pause, giving up his position to Hank, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart. Hank was infected by this solemn atmosphere, walked up to the microphone and said aloud, "In the next few days, Lord Lord will go to sea with us to train. Everyone should show the best level and show the strength of our navy. ”

When all the officers and men heard this, they stood up again and shouted: "Yes!"

Hank nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Board the ship." ”

After receiving the order, all the soldiers were regrouped under the command of the officer, and divided into twenty-five long columns, ten of which were more numerous, about a thousand, and they boarded ten large ships in order, while the other fifteen groups of about 100 men boarded the speedboats.

Because all the supplies and supplies have already been carried onto the ship in advance. Therefore, it did not take much time for the troops to board the ship, and almost half an hour later, Wang Yong and his entourage boarded the deck of the main ship of the navy.

After the commander of each warship announced that it was ready, as Hank gave the order to set off, fifteen speedboats powered by the wind magic array set off first, fanning out into the distance, and then the three large warships raised their sails, followed by the propulsion of the sea breeze and the reaction force of the sailors' oars. Slowly sail away from the harbor and arrange them side by side in a zigzag pattern. Then, Wang Yong's main ship was activated, and along with the main ship, there was also a supply ship and a hospital ship. After that, the other six large battleships set off, followed closely by the main ship, and slowly accelerated, joining up with the front ships.

All the battleships went away. The remaining ground troops quickly blocked the harbor, and all kinds of bed crossbows, trebuchets and some magic cannons adjusted their angles to the sea, and prepared for all defenses. Two wind herons that remained behind also took to the air. Routine reconnaissance began around the entire island within a fifty-mile radius of the coast.

Wang Yong stood at the bow of the ship, watching the surrounding warships slowly approach to a safe distance, and then slowly changed positions, guarding the main ship, supply ship and hospital ship in the middle, forming a triangular fleet, while the fifteen light speedboats were guarding the perimeter of the fleet, according to the guidance of the wind heron, checking the nearby ships.

Wang Yong took the training plan handed by Hank and looked at it, today they were going to sail more than 100 nautical miles east to reach the waters of the coastal area of the former Eternal Empire, which has now become a coastal territory, and check all the ships. Then stay overnight in the Shenlong Mountain East Port, which has been built, and sail along the sea boundary in the east to the depths of the sea in the north the next day, and divide the fleet into two teams to conduct a series of confrontation exercises such as sea to sea, sea to land, and air to sea, and then go around from the high seas to the sea boundary on the west side of the sea, and finally return to the base, which is expected to take six days, and then take a short rest after returning, and then set off again to intercept the sneak attack fleets of the three empires of Bailey, Odin and Roy in the east port of Shenlong Mountain and the high seas.

Wang Yong had no objection to this training plan, and after letting Hank implement the plan, he curiously circled around the main ship and checked the weapons and personnel of the battleship.

The hull of the battleship was large, with three decks below, and most of the soldiers usually rested in the cabins below, and only boarded the deck when they encountered the enemy.

After inspecting the round, Wang Yong frowned, and was not very satisfied with the weapon configuration of the battleship, because the entire battleship only had three fixed trebuchets and two heavy bed crossbows on the deck of the bow, and there were only two magic cannons at the front of the bow, and the weapon configuration at the stern was similar. Such a weapon configuration may be first-class on the continent today, but for Wang Yong, an alternative, I feel that it is far from enough.

Wang Yong patted the trebuchet bracket and said to Hank: "The accuracy and range of this kind of thing are too low, and it is too dependent on logistics, so there is no need to install it on a ship." With this place, you might as well get more magic cannons and ballistas. ”

Hank shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think so too, I plan to eliminate the trebuchet and most of the ballistae and replace them with powerful magic cannons, but when I went to apply, Director Hal said that the magic cannons were distributed, and there was no stock, so let me wait a while and go again." ”

Wang Yong thought for a while and nodded: "Well, the magic cannon is very troublesome to make, even Reagan and they need to take a lot of effort to shoot it personally, but you don't have to worry, those new alchemists have already started to make magic cannons a few days ago, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of inventory after going back this time, when the time comes, you can go directly to get it, and then immediately equip it on the warship, and strive to increase the firepower of the warship by a few grades before the enemy comes, so that those guys can see what is professional."
