Warlords: Rise of the System

Chapter 416 Air Force and Navy

Wang Hui raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and spoke slowly.

"Marshal, when you led the army to Gao County, you dispatched twelve army divisions at once!

And you particularly emphasized at that time that it had to be twelve reorganized divisions.

Because of this, these twelve army divisions kept all the troops they expanded in our country."

At this point, Wang Hui paused for a moment, then continued, "You may not have thought of it.

The number of these teams they left behind was quite large, not only was it not smaller than their original size, but there were even more of them!

After a rough calculation, the total number of troops formed by the twelve army divisions that stayed behind to expand has exceeded 350,000!"

Hearing this, Lu Tianhao couldn't help but show surprise on his face, his eyes widened, and blurted out, "What? Such a big thing, why didn't they tell me at the time?"

Wang Hui also showed a bit of depression on his face. He shook his head helplessly and explained.

"Alas, Marshal, because the troops were dispatched so hastily and urgently, they had no time to report the specific situation to me in detail.

They told me this some time later.

Besides, at that time I personally went to the front line of Gaojun State to participate in the command of the battle. I was very busy all day long and ended up forgetting about this matter.

If I hadn't mentioned sending reinforcements to Gaojun State, I would have completely forgotten about these 300,000-strong army!"

Lu Tianhao scratched his head slightly embarrassedly and spoke slowly.

“Back then, when I issued the order to mobilize 12 army divisions, I also emphasized that they had to be reorganized divisions!

The reason for being so cautious is that they are afraid that the actual number of personnel in each division will not meet the standard and they are worried that they will not be able to gather 30 troops.

Who could have thought that the final result was that the number of people in each division far exceeded the establishment!

If I had known the situation would be like this, I would never have mobilized so many army divisions to Gaojun State at once!

Alas... However, things have come to this point, since we have more than 30 additional troops.

Then we have to think carefully about whether we should take this opportunity to send more troops to Gaojun Kingdom?

By the way, where are these extra 30 troops now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hui immediately responded confidently, "These 30-plus troops are actually not too far from Gaojun State!

If we order them to send reinforcements quickly, it will only take two or three days for them to successfully join forces with our troops already in Gao County!"

After Lu Tianhao pondered for a moment, he spoke.

“First, order these 30-plus troops to advance toward the border area with Gao County State.

But they must remember one thing: let them stop at the border line for now and not cross the line."

At this time, a general officer asked with a puzzled look on his face, "General, what is the purpose of this move? Why not let the troops directly cross the border and fight in Gaojun State?"

Lu Tianhao's expression became increasingly serious, and he explained slowly but firmly.

“The situation is still unclear and I can’t be sure.

If we continue to send more troops to Gaojun State, will it anger the bandits and the multinational coalition forces?

If they are really forced into a desperate situation, I am afraid they will do something desperate and dispatch more reinforcements to Gaojun State again.

Today, the total number of troops deployed on the battlefield by both sides has exceeded 200 million, and the scale of this war is unprecedented.

If either of us increases our troops again at this critical moment, the war will inevitably further deteriorate and escalate.

By then, the casualties on both sides will be even more severe, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

It is for this reason that, after careful consideration, I have decided not to rush to send more troops to Gao County."

I saw a general suddenly stand up, his face solemn, eyes firm and he spoke loudly.

"Even if those bandits and the multinational coalition forces become desperate, what can they do? Can they really cause any big waves?" Before he finished speaking, the scene fell into a brief silence.

At this moment, Wang Hui slowly spoke, "The Marshal's concerns are not unreasonable.

The situation is now clear. Gaojun State has become the last line of defense for bandits and multinational coalition forces to block our army, and it is also the only buffer zone.

At this moment, they knew that they had no way out, so they spared no effort to protect the territory they occupied in Gao County. "

Having said this, Wang Hui paused for a moment, looked around at everyone and continued.

"The bandits and the multinational coalition forces have a clear understanding of the situation.

They knew very well that if their troops were eventually driven out of Gaojun State by us.

Then what most likely awaits them is that the raging war will be brought directly to the homeland of their respective countries.

That is why they urgently dispatched a large number of reinforcements to reinforce us at this moment, in an attempt to stop our army from advancing further."

Wang Hui coughed lightly, shook his head slightly and sighed.

“To put it bluntly, even if they want to negotiate with us in the future.

At least for now, this piece of land in Gao County can be the only bargaining chip they have left. "

Lu Tianhao nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then cleverly changed the subject, "Chief of Staff Wang, you have previously reported to me in detail the approximate number of our army.

Now, could you please tell us more about the size of our air force and navy? "

When the Air Force and the Navy were mentioned, Wang Hui's face instantly broke into a happy smile, and he responded confidently.

"As for the number of air force and navy personnel, the statistics are relatively accurate and clear.

Let’s talk about our air force first. The total number of various types of aircraft we currently own has exceeded 10,000!

These include not only combat aircraft such as fighters and bombers, but also a series of support aircraft such as early warning aircraft and refueling aircraft.

Of course, in addition to the pilots, there are also many people who work hard on the ground and make silent contributions.

If all relevant personnel are included, the total number of air force personnel is more than 30!"

Then, Wang Hui paused for a moment, as if he wanted to keep the audience in suspense, and then continued.

"Next, let's talk about our powerful naval force.

It is no exaggeration to say that our navy is strong and powerful!

Up to now, we have more than 2,000 ships of various types, and there are 70 majestic aircraft carriers alone!

The number of carrier-based aircraft that each aircraft carrier can carry is also quite considerable. According to rough estimates, the total number of carrier-based aircraft is as high as more than 8,000!

As for the number of sailors in the navy, the number of front-line sailors engaged in navigation operations alone exceeds 1.5 million!

If we also include the naval officers and soldiers responsible for logistics support, shore-based defense and other related functional departments.

The total number of the entire naval force has definitely exceeded the two million mark!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Lu Tianhao, was dumbfounded and deeply shocked.

They really had not expected that today's navy would be able to grow to such an astonishing scale!
