Chapter 450 The Initial Formation of a Naval Fleet, Its First Expedition
The communicator was connected.
An old but energetic voice came from the other end.
"Hey kid, I heard you got hurt?" Li Yan asked from across the room.
"I'm sorry, Richard and Takahashi's combat strength was somewhat beyond my expectations," Lin Yuan said calmly. "But it's been resolved. How's the situation on your end?"
"Most of the fleets that had fled earlier have been intercepted. This time the harvest was quite fruitful, and the higher-ups are preparing to hand over all the fleets and ships you intercepted in the nearshore area to you. This is exactly what you deserve. One man, ten thousand men, fighting against one hundred and fifty thousand men, with little loss or casualties. Lin Yuan, you really have amazed everyone. The higher-ups are quite astonished."
Li Yan's tone revealed undisguised admiration.
“They’re just a rabble,” Lin Yuan said with a smile. “So, Elder Li, I’ll have to trouble you to come with me on this trip. It’s time for Japan to learn a lesson.”
"You brat! You actually made me wait at sea for almost two days. In the entire Dragon Kingdom, even after the apocalypse, there are very few people who have the nerve to do that."
Li Yan laughed and scolded, "You guys should set off as soon as possible. We've pretty much figured out the situation in Japan. They don't have much military force left, just a lot of evolved humans. We'll see how you perform then."
"no problem."
After hanging up the call, Lin Yuan finally left the room.
……
Main base, first floor, conference room.
The senior executives gathered here again, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Yuan, who had recovered.
"What's the situation with the naval fleet?" Lin Yuan asked.
Liu Long smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, our Southern Army already had two Marine Corps regiments, some of whom were capable of operating aircraft carriers and fleets. With the help of Miss Jiang Qian, the control system is now complete and ready to go at any time."
"Row."
Lin Yuan said, "Apart from the Marine Corps, the other regiments don't need to be brought. They can stay at the base to continue managing things. After the big battle, we'll need manpower to sort and store the spoils of war. We need to adapt to the base's rhythm as soon as possible."
"This……"
Liu Long frowned and asked, "But are we enough people?"
"Adding the forces in Bay City, our firepower is more than enough," Lin Yuan said to Zhang Hanqiu. "The entire Evolver Legion is to be deployed."
Zhang Hanqiu stood ramrod straight and loudly proclaimed, "Yes!"
As for other aspects, they were basically all arranged by Liu Yun and Liu Qingxue, with all kinds of supplies, consumables, weapons and ammunition in place.
"set off!"
"Horses trampling cherry blossoms."
Lin Yuan shook his combat suit, looking refreshed.
Although this war may be simpler than the previous defensive battles, its significance is completely different.
……
Linhai City. Nearby seaport.
A number of helicopters flew in from the direction of the main base and landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier.
Lin Yuan looked at the aircraft carrier, whose name had been changed, and laughed, "Linhai?"
Jiang Qian chuckled and said, "It was originally called Chida, but I changed it. How could we use the name of Sakura Dog? Besides, this aircraft carrier was damaged in the previous battle, and we repaired it. It's much stronger than before."
"can."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Jiang Qian said, "The other two aircraft carriers will be renamed Canglin and Pingyuan respectively."
Lin Yuan looked at Jiang Qian with some surprise and muttered, "Cang Lin, Ping Yuan, you usually talk nonsense, but you've come up with some pretty good names."
"That's not true at all." Jiang Qian revealed her little tiger teeth with a bright smile.
Lin Yuan and his group were on the Linhai, while the Canglin and Pingyuan were controlled by Liu Long and Zhang Hanqiu respectively. The two marine corps were dispersed on the three aircraft carriers and other ships.
The mighty fleet then approached Sakura Island.
……
Inside the control and command center.
With a dedicated captain in charge of operating the ship, Lin Yuan and the women suddenly found themselves with nothing to do.
Since it was Ada's first mission with Lin Yuan, she was very curious about everything and kept asking questions.
Lin Yuan and the women all responded.
“Ada, during this time, you should also get the marine life as close to Sakura Island as possible,” Lin Yuan said. “After the war ends, it would be best to have them move around the waters around Sakura Island.”
"Since Japan has made a move, those guys in the United States won't sit idly by either. Sooner or later they'll cause trouble. In the future, this Sakura Island won't become their springboard; instead, it will be a wall that blocks them."
Lin Yuan said.
"Xiao Yuan is thinking that far ahead?" Liu Qingxue laughed. "However, apart from the last nuclear explosion, there hasn't been any particularly exciting news from the United States, and their control over the zombie horde has been quite moderate."
"Better safe than sorry."
Lin Yuan said solemnly.
Seeing Lin Yuan's serious expression, Ada stopped playing around and began using her powers and the limited permissions Lin Yuan had granted her to gather marine life and head towards the Sakura Kingdom.
Meanwhile, intelligence also came from Li Yan's side.
Jiang Qian projected a map of all the islands of the Sakura Kingdom onto the big screen, with detailed notes on each island.
It seems that Haiwan City has been quite busy these past two days, thoroughly investigating the capital of the Sakura Kingdom.
"You old lecher! This Japan is really pathetic. Now they only have two islands that haven't fallen, and that's their entire military force."
"According to intelligence from Gulf City, all of the remaining ones are military forces. Even the survivors have been incorporated into the army, and their numbers are still close to 200,000."
"The air defense system and so on are still functioning normally."
The number of evolved beings is unknown.
"It's not something that can be taken down easily."
Jiang Qian began to worry again about the lack of firepower on her side.
"Three aircraft carriers, what's there to worry about?" Lin Yuan laughed. "Even if the other side also has aircraft carriers and air defenses, Gulf City is no pushover. I suggested attacking Japan, do you think the higher-ups are taking it lightly? They're definitely going to use real weapons."
"Wait for Xiaoyuan!"
Liu Qingxue frowned and said, "This time you not only want to attack Japan, but also want to take this opportunity to find out the true strength of Haiwan City?"
"Yes."
Lin Yuan laughed and said, "We Chinese from the Dragon Kingdom love to hide our strengths. Although we are on the same side, I won't feel at ease until I understand their strength. Take Li Yan for example, he is on my side, but there are still people above him who may not be convinced by me."
"That's it."
Liu Qingxue said, "Xiao Yuan is really becoming more and more like a leader."
"Sister Qingxue, please don't be so harsh on me. We have such a large business now, and the higher-ups have even allowed me to develop the navy. If I were to continue being a hands-off manager like before, I would be too heartless." Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled wryly.
It seems that peaceful days won't be possible to live like before.
"We've received a signal. A large fleet has appeared in the waters ahead. It's the naval force of Haiwan City," Jiang Qian said.
At the same time, a familiar helicopter flew in from the sea.
"This old gentleman really gave me a lot of face," Lin Yuan said with a smile, looking at the helicopter in the surveillance footage. "He even came to see me in person?"
Lin Yuan stood up and smiled.
