Admiral in the Azure World

Chapter 314 Expanding the Troops
This is also the first time Lexington has taken the initiative to expand the fleet of ship girls.This is indeed the case. This two-front battle and the last defensive battle have proved one thing: the number of ship girls in Jialan is not enough to expand externally while maintaining the security of Jialan.

If you look at it from a conventional perspective and look at the current Huangjiang Deacon Mansion from the position of an ordinary deacon, it is undoubtedly powerful, with more than a dozen quasi-Poseidon-level battleships, and a team of equally powerful and combat-ready deacons. A unique submarine force and a dozen ship girls with their own strengths.Placed in any position in the Federation, this is a very luxurious lineup. Even the direct lineage of the top nobles cannot accumulate such a powerful legion in such a short period of time.

However, Huang Jiang, who has the Ship Girl Illustrated Book, is no longer an ordinary deacon who only needs to defend the land from the day he set off.If he wants to summon all the ship girls in the illustrated book, he who has no background and almost starts from scratch must obtain enough power to maintain the high cost of summoning ship girls. And without any original capital as a starting resource, he is the only way to quickly accumulate resources. There is only one way: to expand his territory. Compared with this matter, electricity, steel and a series of other layouts are just based on his strong strength.

It can be said that if Huang Jiang did not have a strong ship girl army as a backing, the series of projects he funded, such as Jiagang and AC, would become the objects of others to divide.

So a cycle is formed here. If Huangjiang wants to summon ship girls, he must develop and expand his territory. If he wants to expand his territory and protect his own interests, he must need more ship girls to strengthen his strength. In this way, he must expand his territory and expand his territory. Rolling around, Huang Jiang had accumulated so many ship girls without even realizing it.

But according to the progress of the game, with only having so many ship girls, Huang Jiang seems to have not gone out of the cute phase yet - although all of his ship girls are above level [-], it is common for them to have full favorability at full level.

Huang Jiang very much agreed with Lexington's proposal to expand the ship's army.Having just occupied two islands, he actually doesn't need extra crystals. He can summon several ship girls just by relying on the military merit points earned by the ship girls.Huang Jiang has been running between several islands in the past few days and has not had much time to think about these things. Now that he has settled down and the immigration plan is progressing steadily under the leadership of Hemingway, it is time to consider summoning the ship girl.

Then, Huang Jiang discovered something embarrassing... He really didn't know how to summon it.

"How about the aircraft carrier?" Huang Jiang pondered, "The three York City sisters can now be summoned at once. In this case, the aircraft carrier formation can be considered fully formed, especially since the Mirage does not have underwater units yet, so there is no need to consider anti-submarine warfare. this matter."

Lexington was obviously a little moved, but after being silent for a while, he still shook his head: "We haven't found a stable source of aluminum ore yet. It is very irrational to rashly expand the aircraft carrier fleet by nearly doubling it. We will burn it in this battle." It’s like the aluminum resources we have hoarded over the winter and the spring. If York City and the others are really summoned, what I’m afraid of is that the aircraft carriers will go into battle without aluminum by then, and they will all be stuck in bed.”

Huang Jiang also understood this truth. As the ultimate explosive player of 24B-25, he had no choice but to give up such an idea.

"But now, I have summoned almost all the main battleships of the Royal Navy. The Germans are still short of Hindenburg and Hutten, but they have eaten too much..."

Huang Jiang had not considered the issue of resources for a long time, but this time when all the battleships were dispatched, he finally intuitively felt the appetite of the big sisters of the battleships. A Royal Navy plus Tirpitz, Bismarck, Veneto, Richelieu and these people combined, they ate up more than half of the fuel in Huangjiang's inventory. If it were not for the community agreement signed with Wengzhu Island on equal resource transactions between both parties, Huangjiang would not be able to support such consumption. Come.

Not to mention the American series, in terms of battleships, if you want to summon a real American Star Destroyer fleet, you need to click on a series of front-end illustrations, and these older generation low-speed battleships are like California, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Nevada.Although the firepower is good and the strength is not weak, and Huang Jiang has also reached level [-], the outward expansion cannot keep up with Huang Jiang's existing high-speed fleet system. Even Rodney and Nelson Huang Jiang can see that they are It's a bit difficult to keep up with the fleet.What's more, if Huang Jiang holds a large amount of military merit points in his hand, it would be okay. At worst, he can summon them all at once, but now, Huang Jiang's full military merit points are enough to summon four ships. Damn, just enough to summon the four of them.

what……

Huang Jiang suddenly felt that this seemed like a good choice...

After all, in terms of forward assault, the existing capital ships are actually sufficient. What Jialan lacks now is the strength of the fleet left to protect Jialan after the main force is deployed.

Just like before, Tirpitz and Bismarck originally stayed in Garland Territory as a defensive fleet, but after going to support them because of the tense battle on Malan Island, the highest firepower of the remaining defensive forces in Garland Territory turned out to be undead Bird Eugen, followed by Light Patrol Atlanta.If the main force of Edelweiss Island takes advantage of the situation at this time, it will be a very embarrassing thing.

As for the four Nevadans, although they were unable to keep up with the speed of the main force, they were definitely strong enough for local defense.

"You seem to have made a decision?" Lexington understood Huang Jiang's expression at a glance.

"Do you have any suggestions, madam?" Huang Jiang did not say it immediately, because since Lexington took the initiative to propose this matter, she must have her own ideas.

Lexington smiled slightly and did not hide anything. He directly expressed his thoughts: "We are not short of front-line combat troops for the time being, but the local defense force is somewhat lacking..."

Lexington had the same idea as Huang Jiang. Once the main force of the Gloria Territory came out, it would be easy for the entire territory to enter a defensive hollow period. You must know that there is a big tumor Edelweiss Island next to them. The current Huangjiang Island has no ability to solve it in a short time. Once it is dragged into a tug-of-war by the mirage, this is definitely a very bad thing for Jialan, so for the time being, it can only focus on prevention.

"Originally I wanted you to summon a heavy patrol," Lexington said, "but it seems you already have an idea."

"How are Nevada and the others?" Huang Jiang asked.

Lexington was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Sure enough, you still like Washington and the others more than Wichita and the others."

"Uh..." Huang Jiang couldn't deny this. After all, most of the American battleships were Huang Jiang's wedding ships.

However, he still emphasized very solemnly:
"Wichita is also my wedding ship!"

This time, Lexington laughed even harder:

"If Wichita hadn't thrown a newspaper and blown your head off, you might have almost forgotten that you have such a heavy cruiser with full level and full favorability."

Huang Jiang scratched his head in embarrassment.

　I forcibly updated Wichita’s newspaper selling outfit (justifiably!)
