The remaining ship is a mobile force, ready to support operations in various places.

In this way, our Ming Dynasty will be able to intervene in disputes far away from the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time.

If it is a small-scale conflict, an aircraft carrier battle group is enough.

If the scale of the conflict expands, we will add an aircraft carrier battle group.

If we need to launch a war, we will concentrate three to four aircraft carrier battle groups to attack at the same time.

The navy!

It is to take care of matters at sea, and at most provide fire support to the Marines landing in the coastal areas."

"Yes! You said that the navy only cares about maritime affairs." Li Xiu said coldly.

He still has deep resentment for the Marine Corps' separation from the Navy.

After all, the Marine Corps was born with the Navy and was established by Li Xiu.

It's like a child you raised was accidentally taken away by someone, and those people didn't allow the child to call him daddy.

"Still thinking about the Marine Corps?

The Marine Corps is an army that protects the coastal interests of the Ming Dynasty.

As the Ming Dynasty's overseas territorial interests increase, the size of the Marine Corps can only expand even larger.

In the future, the size of the Marine Corps may be larger than that of the Navy.

Taking out the Marine Corps alone now will be good for the future." Li Xiao shook his head helplessly.

He understood Li Xiu's feelings for the Marine Corps, but reason told him that if the Marine Corps was left in Li Xiu's hands, it would probably be useless.

"never mind!

There are too many things to take care of. There are ten aircraft carrier battle groups, which is enough for me to keep busy." Li Xiu shook his head helplessly.

If we say that in the past, a general with military power could still rebel.

Now, such a thing simply does not exist.

Whether it is an aircraft carrier or a Marine Corps, it is based on the industrial capabilities of the Ming Dynasty.

Without the support of Ming Dynasty's industrial strength, both aircraft carriers and marines are fortresses made of sand, which will collapse as soon as the sea water soaks them.

Just like the current navy, ammunition, oil, and other various supplies are messy and complicated.

Even Li Xiu is not too busy to come here now!

The supply of so many things is supported by the industrial strength of Ming Dynasty.

What's more, Ming Dynasty's shipyards are still needed to continuously produce new warships for him.

One year into the war, deliveries of battleships began to increase.

The fourth domestically produced aircraft carrier is being outfitted and is expected to join the fleet in another six months.

And starting from March until the end of the year, new destroyers will be launched every month.

It is estimated that when formulating the shipbuilding plan, the elder brother has already considered the establishment of an aircraft carrier battle group in the future.

"Let me tell you something. The Huangdao Naval Ship Research Institute recently came up with a new thing."

Seeing that the scene was dull, Li Xiao lit a cigar and said to Li Xiu.

"New stuff?" Li Xiu blinked, wondering what new tricks these guys had come up with.

"They are studying a new type of warship that can dive underwater.

And launch torpedoes underwater to attack ships on the surface."

Li Xiao exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Li Xiu with a smile.

"Driving underwater? And launching torpedoes to attack surface ships?" Li Xiu's eyes widened. He never thought that there would be such a thing.

Driving underwater, if this thing comes out, then all the damn surface warships are now useless.

All aircraft carriers and aircraft carrier battle groups are just decorations in front of this thing.

"Um!

They have completed theoretical research and are about to conduct further experiments.

I have approved funding for them, and I estimate that it will be ready in a few years.

At that time, in addition to dealing with air targets, your destroyers will also have to pay attention to how to counteract underwater submarine warships."

"Then how the hell do you defend yourself?" Li Xiu's eyes widened.

All weapons now are designed to deal with battleships or targets on shore.

What should I use to hit the things under the water? Could it be that I should hit them with rocks?

"Haha! As for weapons, if there is a spear, there will be a strike.

As long as a weapon is developed, there are ways to check and balance it.

At the Jinzhou Electronics Research Institute, methods to deal with underwater targets are already being studied.

I believe that after that kind of submarine warship is developed, they will also have a breakthrough in close combat.

Technology is just like that. Nothing is perfect, and there are always mutual reinforcements and mutual restraints.”

Li Xiu nodded, deeply agreeing with his elder brother's words.

After all, that kind of underwater warship is too dangerous. If it doesn't have the ability to check and balance, it will cause big trouble.

Odessa was burning in the early morning sun, and the billowing smoke formed a huge black column reaching into the sky.

“Odessa is finished, oil tankers can easily enter and exit the Black Sea.

No one will attack them by surprise!

Next, I want to march into Gibraltar.

After all, it is the gateway to the Mediterranean, and I don’t want that place to be occupied by the British for a long time.”

Li Xiu told Li Xiao what he had been thinking about for a long time.

He had long wanted to recapture Gibraltar. Once Gibraltar was recaptured, the aircraft carrier would be able to sail directly north along the Atlantic Ocean.

Battleships can even attack the French coast and London directly!

If you go further north, the capitals of small Nordic countries such as Norway, Denmark, and Sweden are all within the strike range of aircraft carriers.

Li Xiu even felt that with the power of the navy, he could make the coalition forces surrender.

"hehe!

The Russian front is now like this, and in half a month, the Central Asia Railway will be fully connected.

More Ming troops, more armored units and more aircraft will be transferred to the front line.

According to our estimates, the Ming Dynasty could win this war with only 1.5 million troops.

Look, the Black Sea is ours now too.

The Sochi refinery will be completed in two to three months, and future oil supplies will be guaranteed.

The transportation capacity of the Central Asia Railway will be partially released again!

I think according to the current way of fighting, the Ming army will not be able to fight until winter.

First, their logistics will be further eroded during the bombing, and second, their domestic economy is already on the verge of collapse.

But not all countries have the industrial capabilities and strength of the Ming Dynasty.

To tell you the truth, Ming Dynasty also spent a lot of money fighting such a war.

All large-scale infrastructure projects in the country have been stopped. If it were not supported by the wealth plundered from overseas, the Ming Dynasty's economy would actually collapse.

There is no way, the cost of war is too great.
