"How is the training of the Navy's reserve team going?" Ma Yue asked.
"Going out to sea won't be a problem. You won't get seasick." Shuichong said, "We also have bows and arrows for our sea training."
The bows and arrows of the Hai tribe are mainly made of bamboo bows, which are cheap to counterfeit and suitable for large-scale processing and production.
The use of bows and arrows in war is mainly based on range and quantity, not accuracy. Ma Yue did not dare to face the covering fire of a large number of archers.
The navy's reserve force is not usually used by the navy. It is a part of the navy's reserve force that is urgently activated in case the navy's strength is insufficient. It can be seen that Ma Yue attaches great importance to the navy.
"But, you charlatan, the sailor is not good enough." Shuichong said. The most important things for sailing in the sea are the helmsman and the sailor. If you can't understand these two things, how can you have the advantage of speed?
Whether it is a helmsman or a sailsman, they both need experience to operate. Only after a lot of sailing can they gain experience, right?
"Yeah, I was too impatient." Over the years, the number of navy has been increasing, and the training of helmsmen and sailmen has not been left behind. For the main force of the navy, good sailmen and helmsmen from the reserve team have been continuously added to the main fleet of the navy.
The development of the navy requires a long process.
"Goddammit, the navy doesn't have enough archers, but the reserve has quite a few suitable archers. Shooting arrows on a ship is relatively stable," Firestone said. If you can't even stand steadily on a ship, how can you shoot arrows?
"Okay, you go and mobilize them. The number of archers on each ship must be appropriate. If there are too few, there will not be enough rocket coverage; if there are too many, it will affect the maneuverability of the ship..." Ma Yue still gave some instructions, but he was still worried.
Although Huoshi was also a naval leader, he had never led troops in a battle alone.
The Sea Tribe's war machine was orderly and powerful; that was the benefit of being organized. Half a day later, Firestone's fleet of twenty sailing ships set out.
"Charlatan, is it possible?" Shuichong was also worried. The number of navy was limited. Once Flint's fleet was defeated again... it would be very troublesome to replenish the navy. It would take time to train some helmsmen and sailors.
"I can only hope he can do it." What else could Ma Yue say? He couldn't rely on himself to do everything, could he? Besides, Ma Yue didn't understand naval warfare.
Ma Yue provided many suggestions for the construction of the navy, including the use of flags of different colors, in different combinations, to form different instructions, similar to flag signals. Isn't it to facilitate the command and operation of the fleet as much as possible?
In exchange for Sun City's numbness, Haifan City had wasted a lot of salted radish and sheepskin. There was no other way, the numbness was really useful. The Navy's flags were partially made of animal skins, while most were made of linen.
"Charlatan, it would be a good idea to use fur soaked in fish oil to make rockets." The three priests came. Using numbness to make rockets was too extravagant. With such consumption, Haifan City did not have so much stock.
"That's true." Ma Yue nodded. The Third Priest, the logistics minister, was very capable. He could fill in the gaps and that was what Ma Yue needed most.
Haifan City is generally not short of furs, whether it is rabbit skin or sheepskin. There are always a lot of leftovers after eating the meat. The climate here does not have a freezing period, so the consumption of furs is not that great.
"Sage, let's go and see how powerful the enemy is. We can't find out unless we land." Bing Yueyue and Bing Yueshui came and enjoyed the treatment of small priests of the Sea Tribe. When needed, the two sisters were still very conscious.
If the Sea Tribe is gone, where will Bingyueyue and Bingyueshui go?
"Alright, be careful." The enemy's exact strength was still unclear. Ma Yue had a problem with Hai Rui, saying they had fought a muddled battle and lost so many navy men in vain.
Bing Yueyue and Bing Yueshui have their own spirit boat, which is fast, flexible and maneuverable, and very suitable.
Bing Yueyue and Bing Yueshui released their spirit ships to chase after them. If they didn't catch up with Huoshi's fleet, they wouldn't be able to find the enemy, right?
All that’s left is to wait.
Ma Yue wasn't worried about the enemy attacking Haifan City. He was worried about hearing from the captives about the White Mist Branch, which was the weakest point in the Hai Tribe's defense. If the enemy's forces were very strong, a landing operation might even put Poseidon City and Qiuhai City in danger.
In this era, wars are ultimately a competition to see who has more people.
"Charlatan..." Hai Rui hung his head.
"Hey! I don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky. We have been looking for it for so many years, but no one can find it. You go out to sea and find a new continent or a big island. But, after you find it, you are defeated again..." After all, he is an old man of the sea tribe, and his anger is only temporary.
Hai Rui is still good. Everyone has shortcomings.
"Replenish your squadron and send it out for patrol as quickly as possible. The outcome of this naval battle is uncertain. Hai Rui, the final outcome may be determined by your squadron."
"Yeah!" This was not the first time that Hai Rui was humiliated or embarrassed. He had a strong ability to resist shame.
"This time, you were not prepared enough. In the future, you should learn more lessons from your failures..."
"I understand." Hai Rui doesn't have much ambition, but he is very loyal. Being mediocre doesn't mean he is incompetent.
To make up for the losses of the squadron, we can only draw troops from the naval reserve. The sea tribe’s production capacity of sailing ships is still good, and the naval reserve also has many sailing ships for its own training needs, so we just need to requisition a few of them.
Most importantly, replenish your rockets and archers.
