Chapter 709
Seeing that Su Cheng asked him to tell him about the equipment of the navy, Mu De did not refuse.
He nodded and began to tell the composition of the navy.
"The navy under the command of Xiaguan has a total of 520 warships and 20,679 soldiers."
"At present, there are 4 types of warships in the empire, and the fleet under the command of the lower officials is also composed of these 4 types of warships."
"Ship No. 1 is the main ship of our fleet. It is made of 'iron wood', a specialty product in the west. It is extremely hard and extremely strong. It has a full 4 decks, specially used to collide with enemy ships. The flagship of the fleet, the Hiperian, is the model of the ship No. 1."
"There are 50 ships, the main ship, as the main ship."
"The 2 ship has a smaller size, and is mostly used to get close to the enemy and pursue the enemy. There are 150 ships in total."
"Ship No. 3 is a sentry ship, the smallest ship, and it is specially used to patrol and recruit enemies. There are 50 ships in total."
"Ship No. 4 is a transport ship, used to transport grain, supplies and placing logistics personnel such as military doctors. Although it is not a ship specifically for combat, when the war is tense, it can be slightly modified and used as a warship No. 2 specially used to catch the enemy close to the enemy."
"The number of ships No. 4 has the largest number, with a total of 270 ships."
"The number of transport ships under the fleet under the Xiaguan is not enough to send most of the Knights of Michael to the rear of the Holy Hillan Empire, so the central government has now issued a national mobilization to recruit all the craftsmen in the country to urgently build a transport fleet that is sufficient to transport most of the Knights of Michael."
"According to the current progress, by about early September this year, a transport fleet that is enough to ship most of the Knights of Michael and its required supplies will be completely built and docked at the port of Lott."
After hearing Mu De's words, many people present showed excitement.
Although everyone present did not understand naval construction and naval combat, and therefore did not understand whether naval power of this scale was strong or weak, after hearing Mu De's words, they only felt that it seemed very powerful.
There are a total of 520 warships, and although some of them are logistics ships without combat capabilities, they also sound very strong.

...
On the second day after the welcoming banquet, Su Cheng, who was temporarily in full swing, decided to rush to Port Lot to inspect the naval forces.
Now he is also the commander-in-chief of the "Northern Slalom" operation. It is reasonable to review the troops involved in this battle.
The battle situation on the northern front is now in a stalemate. The two armies stared at each other with big eyes and fighting for the military and food battle that was not known when it would be, so Su Cheng dared to boldly leave the Avalon Fortress.
However, even if the Sheeran army suddenly attacked the Avalon Fortress while he was away, Su Cheng was not afraid.
Su Cheng trusted his subordinates, believing that even if he was not in the fortress, his subordinates would withstand the fierce attack of Xilan's army until he came back.
After Su Cheng temporarily handed over all the affairs of the Knights of Michael and the Northern Front to Willie, he rushed to Port Lot with his fellow Mude and Blaze.
The Port of Lot is a rare port for freezing all year round. It is a large commercial port and a military port. It is one of the main bases of the Imperial Navy.
In order to prevent the invasion of spies, after the Imperial Navy arrived at Lot Port, it blocked Lot Port and prevented any ordinary people from getting close to ordinary ships.
The people living here are used to this and do not feel very strange.
Because Port Lot is one of the main bases of the Imperial Navy, fleets always stopped here from time to time, and then began routine exercises and training.
After the Navy is stationed in Port Lot, it will block the port to prevent spies from stealing information about the Navy.
The previous blockade was either long or short, and the longest blockade was 1 month.
In order to weaken the public's suspicion and strengthen the port blockade effect, the General Administration of Northbound Lieutenant said that the infrastructure of Lott Port has been in disrepair, so it is necessary to start a large-scale renovation and blockade for a long time.
The Northbound Administration also decently circled the outer periphery of Lott Port, and transported many building materials and facilities into Lott Port, making it look like it was really going to overhaul Lot Port.
Thanks to various "deceptions" work, the people and the enemy's spies really thought that the Imperial Navy was stationed here again and began routine exercises and overhauling the port.
The ordinary people only think that the blockade of Port Lot is accustomed to and does not care, but they just suffer the merchandises.
After coming to Lot Port, which no ordinary people were allowed to get close to ordinary ships, Su Cheng finally saw the empire's naval fleet.
Even a person like Su Cheng who is used to seeing big scenes could not help but look surprised when he saw this huge fleet for the first time.
The fleet of hundreds of warships is endless, and this picture is full of impact and deterrence.
Su Cheng came to Lot Port this time to inspect the naval force, so he did not waste much time. After arriving at the port, Su Cheng immediately asked Mude and Blaise to take him onto the ships of the fleet to check the equipment of each ship.
Flagship, No. 1 warship (main warship, mostly used for collision), No. 2 warship (mainly used for close-up contact), No. 3 warship (sentence ship), No. 4 warship (transporter) - Su Cheng boarded the deck of each ship type to check their equipment.
After roughly checking the fleet's equipment, Su Cheng asked Mude and Blaise to drive the fleet out of the port and start maritime exercises.
The best way to inspect the troops is to look at the exercise results.
The fleet's flagship ship is Ship 1, and the battleship number is Shiperian.
Because it is a flagship, the materials and workmanship used are not comparable to ordinary ship No. 1. The entire ship is larger than ordinary ship No. 1.
After Su Cheng boarded the Shiperian and the warships were ready to sail, the fleet sailed out of the port in seclusion and began the exercise in a remote waters.
With 30 small rafts as imaginary enemies, Mude and Blaise commanded the fleet and showed Su Cheng various naval combat tactics.
The transport ship escaped to the rear, the whistleboat advanced to seek the enemy, and the No. 2 warship launched the jumping tactics in close proximity. The No. 1 warship, as the main battleship, gathered and combined to form an impact formation to collide with the enemy's ship formation...
After watching the navy's maritime exercise, Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
The navy's combat power exceeded his imagination.
Both the equipment situation and the exercise effect exceeded Su Cheng's expectations.
Su Cheng was still worried about the navy's combat power at first.
After all, the navy has never been popular, and the empire never attaches importance to the construction of the navy.
So Su Cheng was very worried that the Navy was a gang of mud that could only fight pirates...
Fortunately, Mude and Blaze are the chief commander and deputy commander of the Navy, but they do not have any corpse positions.
The two of them managed well and built their fleets.
