Wei Chenghong put down his phone and said to Tatsumi," Tatsumi, go and call Lin Lei over. Also, inform the fleet to change direction. Their destination is Saipan."”
"Yes, Admiral. I'll take my leave first.”Tatsumi left Wei Chenghong's arms and saluted him.
It should be enough to catch a few small fish with 500 marines. Since Lin Lei was a member of the Marine Corps, he planned to let Lin Lei bring some people to deal with the surviving American marines.
He continued to look at the technology tree, thinking about which cruiser and destroyer to buy.
It was better to choose the M-series because its anti-submarine ability was better. As for the cruiser, he did not plan to buy it for the time being because there were still three ships waiting for him to salvage and repair at the bottom of the sea. It would be better to buy a destroyer.
Following Wei Chenghong's order, the fleet began to turn and sail towards Saipan.
At this time, someone knocked on the door and Wei Chenghong said,"Come in."”
Lin Lei opened the door and came in alone.
"Commander, please give the order.”The girl stood very straight. Her cold eyes, coupled with her icy expression, made her look like an ice cube.
"Lin Lei, I order you to lead the Marine Corps to Saipan to kill the survivors of the enemy fleet. Can you do that?”
"Yes, Lin Lei understands."
"It's good that you understand. Go and make your preparations.”Wei Chenghong was ready to release all the warships. He was going to change the flagship, but he was a little reluctant to part with the Prideful Sky.
Lin Lei also left. Wei Chenghong released three warships, two battleships and one aircraft carrier.
Through the system, Wei Chenghong converted all the crew members of the Proud Heaven into the crew of the battleships of the Howard, and recruited new crew members and captains for the Proud Heaven.
The crew bid farewell to the warship they had stayed on for almost a month and arrived at their new warship.
Unlike the Proud Sky, the condition of the Mo Lisi was much better. Wei Chenghong's room was no different from a five-star hotel. It had high-end decoration, a variety of wine storage, a conference room, and a study room.
These were all prepared for the fleet commander. It seemed that the people of America really knew how to have fun. The accommodation conditions were not any worse than the Yamato.
He changed to a new flagship. The environment was indeed different. Wei Chenghong, who was leaning against the office, kept turning his chair. Lin Lei had already set off with the members of the Lu Battle Team, and Okoyama Tatsumi was helping him tidy up his room. During this period of time, his life was taken care of by Okoyama Tatsumi, and he had to eat and wear as he pleased.
He took out his phone and continued to study the technology line. After comparing the Japanese and American destroyer, he decided to light up the M-series V-VI class destroyer. They were the Nicholas class and Farragut class destroyer, which added up to 58200 experience.
He found that the maintenance cost of battleships and aircraft carriers was really high. After the three warships were launched, the daily maintenance cost of the fleet increased from 12,000 silver coins to more than 40,000 silver coins, almost four times the amount.
Destroyers were slightly more expensive than cruisers, but they were several times cheaper than expensive aircraft carriers and battleships.
Now, he had 21 ship slots and 14 ships. In addition to the four ships that needed to be salvaged, he still had three ship slots.
115000 EXP, 9,000,000 Silver, 3000 Gold.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Chenghong decided to buy three more slots and increase the number of destroyer to ten. He bought six M-series Class VI Farragut Destroyers at a price of 3.12 million silver coins.
As a result, Wei Chenghong was left with 57,000 EXP, 6,000,000 Silver, and 2100 Gold. The daily maintenance cost of the fleet had also risen to 80,000 Silver.
Wei Chenghong remembered that his three light aircraft carriers didn't have any islands, which was very disadvantageous for the commander to command the take-off and landing of the carrier aircraft.
"System, I want to modify those three light aircraft carriers. Those damn Japanese people have no imagination at all.”
"Yes, please return the warship to the dock first.”
Since the Sky City class Chenmei aircraft carrier had been released, Wei Chenghong was not afraid of anything. He took the three light aircraft carriers back into the system dock and prepared to carry out modern modifications.
"First, the anti-aircraft guns. I wonder what the Japanese are thinking. They installed so many of them on the aircraft carrier. Dismantle all the large-caliber naval guns. Only small-caliber anti-aircraft guns will do.”
"Alright, please wait a moment. We're designing a new ship.”The System is planning a new ship.
In less than five minutes, the system had given the Fengxiang class Zhoushan, the new hull information, and the design plan.
Wei Chenghong opened the new projection of the Zhoushan hull. Compared to the original, the current Zhoushan looked more like a modern aircraft carrier. The data had also changed, and its weight had increased a lot.
Zhoushan (Fengxiang class) light aircraft carrier
9000 tons (standard), 11520 tons (full load)
168 meters long, 18 meters wide, 6.5 meters draft
The flight deck is 182 meters in size and 23 meters in width.
Power System: 4 heavy oil boiler, 4 oil-coal mixed combustion boiler, 3 Parson steam turbine engines, 3-axis propulsion
Speed: 26 knots
[Endurance: 8000 nautical miles/14 knots]
Weapons: 18 twin-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft guns.
[Carrier-based aircraft: 28 (fully loaded)]
Crew: About 600.
"How much is the modification fee?" Looking at the new data, Wei Chenghong was much more satisfied. After removing the unwanted anti-aircraft guns, the new Zhoushan had four more planes in stock.
"300,000 silver coins. In addition, the blueprint for the auspicious phoenix-grade modification has also come out.”
"Alright, we'll change it like that." Wei Chenghong clicked on the Rui Feng class aircraft carrier, the detailed information and the floor plan projection.
Modu (Auspicious Phoenix class) Light aircraft carrier
12000 tons (standard), 13900 tons (full load)
205.5 meters long, 18.0 meters wide, 7 meters draft
The flight deck is 185 meters wide and 25 meters wide.
Power system: 4 heavy oil furnaces, 4 Parsons steam turbine engines, total horsepower 60,000.
Speed: 30 knots
[Endurance: 8000 nautical miles/18 knots]
Weapons: 20 twin-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft guns
Carrier-based aircraft: 36
Crew: 850 people.
Dismantling the large caliber anti-aircraft cannons, increasing the capacity of the hangar, modifying the chimney, and adding a new carrier command island, the Magic City looked brand new. Wei Chenghong nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, that's it. Is the last design out?”
"The modification cost for the Auspicious Phoenix-class is 550,000 yuan. The new hull of the Dragon-class is still under design.”The system quickly answered Wei Chenghong's question. It seemed that the cost of the modification was a little high. After all, the purchase price was only about 2 million yuan, and the modification cost was more than 500 thousand yuan.
"Alright, that's it." Wei Chenghong said while waiting patiently.
After three to four minutes, the system finally finished designing the blueprint. Wei Chenghong opened it to take a look.
