Chapter 1199 Pressure at sea

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Anbu's ability to handle affairs has always satisfied Luo Ji. The interrogation report in front of him let Luo Ji know a lot.

    For example, there is not only one murloc tribe in the sea, but they are scattered into countless branches, large and small, occupying various sea areas.

    It is similar to some indigenous tribes on land.

    The murlocs in the sea also occupy their own territories, sometimes they live in peace, and sometimes they attack each other, fighting fiercely, all for the sake of living space and food resources.

    And this murloc originally lived in the sea outside the swamp rainforest.

    However, the appearance of Hydra squeezed their living space to a great extent, which made them subject to the dark elves and formed the current situation.

    Of course, this information is only secondary. For Luo Ji, the most important information is the location of the Dark Elf's island!

    If you can't grasp the enemy's position, you can only fall into a passive position.

    If you want to turn passive into active, grasping information is the first step.

    From the two murloc captives, the Anbu members asked for a relatively detailed sea map. Judging from this map, after leaving the Yangtze River Basin, to reach the island where the dark elves are located, you have to spend a lot of money.  Quite a long time.

    At the same time, there are still a large number of murlocs and even Hydra in the sea leading to this island.

    This made Luo Ji realize more clearly that conquering this sea area is not as easy as he thought. The sea is really a dangerous place. In comparison, other people's seas are much cuter

    Moreover, as he thought deeply, Luo Ji quickly realized another more troublesome problem.

    That is how he should deal with the murlocs?

    As a race that lives underwater, even if he finally showed a strong force value, so what if he forced the opponent to surrender?  How should he rule after that?  Murlocs live underwater, but they live on land.

    Facts have proved that there does not seem to be a suitable solution, which is really a headache.

    Exhaling a long breath, Luo Ji decided not to worry about it for the time being.

    The most urgent thing right now is to find a way to get rid of Hydra first.

    The overall naval strength of the Dark Elf is definitely not as good as his. The backward Black Sail Fleet is absolutely vulnerable to his Yangtze River Fleet, but the opponent has the "Hydra", a super-standard top naval combat unit.

    For this kind of monster whose scales are hard enough to defend against bullets and shelling, and can even move under the sea for a long time, even the staff headquarters, which is full of talents, seems a little helpless for a while.

    Feeling the pressure from the sea, Luo Ji had no choice but to change his current development policy, asking the Military Research Department to put aside several other projects for the time being, and devote all his efforts to the development and research of underwater weapons, striving for an early date.  Make a weapon that can cause enough damage to Hydra.

    And during this period, what should be developed on the land will naturally continue to develop.

    Over the years, the crazy development of the naval power of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms has brought a lot of pressure on the civilization's finances.

    After all, before the official development of naval combat power, the civilization of the world did not have this financial consumption.

    Originally, the financial department thought that the army was the one that burned the most money. The research and development of various rifles and cannons, the mass production of ammunition and shells, and the daily training expenses of soldiers in major military regions were an astronomical figure every day.  Once there is a war, this number may have to be multiplied tenfold at once.

    And ever since the naval forces started training and the steel battleships were put into production, they suddenly felt something was wrong

    what's the situation?  When the army burns money, it¡¯s better to burn it in bundles, but you can just pour it into the brazier with big boxes and big boxes?  !

    In just a few years, the financial pressure brought by the Navy has caused the economic situation of the Myriad Worlds civilization, which had almost turned into a good one, to sound the red alarm again.

    And just last week, another battleship officially entered service, and now the Yangtze River Fleet of their Myriad Realms Civilization already has 23 destroyers and five battleships!

    Luo Ji didn't mean to build a cruiser.

    The original purpose of the cruiser was to balance speed and firepower.

    But as I said before, in the field of warships, armor, speed and firepower, these three are impossible to balance.

    If you insist on taking both, you will only end up with a ship that can¡¯t go up or down, but there is nothing to do.?? meaning.

    And the facts are indeed the same. Taking modern society as an example, after World War II, almost no country is building cruisers. This is a fact.

    Luo Ji obviously didn't intend to waste time on the cruiser either.

    So he had a clear goal and directly invested in the manufacture of destroyers and battleships.

    Today, the number of warships in the Yangtze River Fleet may not sound like many, but when viewed from the surface of the river, it is already quite large.

    This fleet, now just daily training exercises and regular maintenance, is already going to burn exaggerated numbers one by one.

    It is said that the financial loss caused by the destroyer destroyed by the Hydra incident almost caused the old minister of our Ministry of Finance to go into shock on the spot.

    Now that the latest battleship has been manufactured, in order to prevent their emperor from swiping his pen and start to manufacture new battleships, our old minister hastily sent a report, full of snot and tears  Tell Luo Ji that warships can no longer be built, and if such expenditures are maintained, the treasury will be emptied.

    After receiving such a report, Luo Ji naturally had to ask Ye Qingxuan for confirmation.

    After doing a simple calculation, Ye Qingxuan said that in terms of finances, there is still room to spare. It is possible to build a few more warships, but considering the continuous expenditure in the future, and there are other major projects in the civilization,  If this continues, there will inevitably be risks of economic instability.

    At the same time, at that juncture, if there is a sudden war, the huge economic pressure caused and the economic collapse will probably only happen in an instant.

    This risk is not insignificant. It has already developed to this point. Luo Ji can't do this kind of thing with the risk of collapse, so he resolutely suspends the follow-up manufacturing plan at the shipyard for the time being.

    According to the current situation, I am afraid that it will have to delay for a few years before proceeding to the next step of development, but during this period, the research obviously has to continue.

    Warships may not be built yet, but research must never stop.

    In these years, how far it can develop depends on the progress of research.

    Once the research stops, doesn't the development also stop?  This is something Luo Ji absolutely does not allow.
