This change was a bit big. Wei Chenghong looked at the Dragon-class aircraft carrier that he had just bought. Its weight had also increased from light to medium-sized. It was almost equivalent to the Cang Dragon aircraft carrier in Japan.
"This change is a little big. How much is it?”Wei Chenghong probably wouldn't be cheap if he changed it to this.
"It's not expensive, 1.5 million. It's definitely worth that price. Not only has the power increased, but the number of aircraft on the carrier has also increased. Also, we'll replace all the aircraft on your carrier for free.”
The total cost of modifying three aircraft carriers was enough for Wei Chenghong to buy a Half-King Kong class battleship. However, Wei Chenghong knew that he couldn't save money. After changing the hull, the take-off and landing efficiency of the aircraft carrier would definitely increase a lot. History had proven that the protruding island of the aircraft carrier was a must. Only with vision could the aircraft carrier take off and land better.
2,350,000 silver coins. If he deducted it, Wei Chenghong would have 3,650,000 silver coins left. He didn't dare to use this money recklessly. He had to keep it as a backup. When the four warships joined his fleet, Wei Chenghong suspected that his maintenance fee would increase to 100,000 silver coins every day.
This wasn't a joke, because on the M-series technology line, the Lexington class aircraft carrier was a class VIII aircraft carrier. In other words, the maintenance cost of the aircraft carrier alone was very high.
According to the level distribution, the Heaven City class Chenmei should be the same as the Lex. Because of the addition of the Level 9 Howard Battleship and the Level 8 Heaven City aircraft carrier, Wei Chenghong's maintenance cost soared from 10,000 to 80,000 silver coins. With the modification of the three aircraft carriers, it rose to more than 90,000 silver coins.
Turning off the dock screen, Wei Chenghong made a summary. Including the aircraft carrier and three cruisers that needed to be salvaged, he had a total of 25 warships.
As usual, Wei Chenghong began to name the warship.

Level 8 aircraft carrier, Sky City: Chenmei, 100 aircraft carriers (max)
Level 8 aircraft carrier, Lex: Wenzhou (missing), 100 aircraft carriers (full)

Level 4 cruisers and three Ball Mages, namely Ritian No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.
destroyer
Level 6 Destroyers, 6 Farragut, and 5 to 11 Good Times.
Level 4 Destroyer, Ji Feng, and Good Day No. 1.

There were a total of twenty-five warships, and Wei Chenghong also had twenty-five battle slots. All the crew members added up to nearly twenty thousand people.
The remaining 57,000 EXP, 3,650,000 silver coins, 2100 gold coins, and the daily maintenance cost of the fleet was around 90,000 (lacking the aircraft carrier Wenzhou and the three cruisers Sunsky).
With such a fleet of aircraft carriers and battleships, Wei Chenghong's back was completely hardened. He planned to find trouble with the Japanese fleet. The Japanese fleet only had four aircraft carriers, namely the Red Castle, the Kaga, the Phoenix, and the Dragon Horse. Two heavy and two light.
Japanese Battleship
[Level 5 Vajra class: Titan (Heavy), Hiei (Damaged), Hazel (Heavy), Kirishima]
Level 6 Fusang-class ships, Fusang and Mountain City.
Level 7 Ise-class (improved version of Fuso-class): Ise, Hinata.
Level 7 Naga-class, Naga-class, Luo-class.
As for the Level 10 Yamato and Musashi, the shipyard had not started construction yet and was still in the process of design.
In comparison, the Japanese Combined Fleet only had four aircraft carriers and eight battleships. In other words, Wei Chenghong had been in this era for less than two months, but he already had the ability to challenge the Japanese Navy that had been developing for half a century.
Of course, this did not include light warships. After all, the Japanese Navy was ranked third in the world in terms of weight. Who knew how many cruisers and destroyer they had?
All warships burned oil, which was why the navy burned money. Because poor people couldn't afford to play with the navy. It was the same for Wei Chenghong now. Without money, he couldn't afford a fleet. It was the same for everyone.
Now, it was time to turn the camera around. It was boring to look at men every day. In addition, Lin Lei's appearance was too low. The author decided to add some scenes for her. Although this woman was not very popular with men, it had to be said that compared to the flower vase, Lin Lei's combat power was definitely off the charts.
The 500-man Marine Corps boarded the landing craft and headed for Saipan.
Although the girl was young, she had a murderous look on her face. She was holding an American Thompson submachine gun and a Colt M1911 pistol on her waist. There was also a Marine with a radio on her side. As long as she needed to, she could use the radio to order the main cannon of the fleet to attack any place on the island.
"God, why won't they let us go?”A few surviving American sailors looked at the landing craft that was heading towards the island with ugly expressions. They had almost no weapons and there were only a few of them, less than 100.
"Quick, quick, quick, occupy the beach." Lin Lei raised her gun and waved her hand. Whether there were enemies or not, this was something that had to be done. It was unnecessary.
The incident proved that it was indeed unnecessary. Those marines did not have the guts to do so. Moreover, they were not professional soldiers. The technical level of land warfare was very low. In addition, they had almost no weapons. How could they have the courage to appear?
Saipan was still very big. It was almost impossible to capture the American marines on such a big island with just 500 people.
However, as long as someone could capture those marines, it would be fine. After all, they were all rescued by those natives from the sea. As long as they could find those natives, it would be fine.
What was the Marine Corps?
To put it simply, it was an infantry unit that could fight on land. Its ability and combat effectiveness were much better than the average army unit.
When the five hundred people landed on Saipan, it was like throwing a few grains of rice into a basin. It was inconspicuous.
The girl leading the team had everyone spread out and search the area. As long as it was a living person, she would capture them.
"Oh my god, what should we do now?”The American marines on the island were scattered. Most of them were hiding in the homes of the natives. Lin Lei's method of capturing them together had caught their sore spot.
The camera turned back to the flagship. Wei Chenghong stood up and looked at the room he had transferred to. There was a bedroom, a meeting room, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a study. The decoration was also very high-end and luxurious.
Wei Chenghong was very satisfied after walking around. If the accommodation environment of the Pride was compared to a hotel, then the Huaxia was a five-star hotel. Although the layout was not like a normal house, it was square, but the space looked really big.
Of course, Wei Chenghong was the only one on the ship who received such treatment. The sailors were still crammed into the dormitory. Compared to Wei Chenghong, who was accompanied by beautiful women, the treatment was completely different.
"Chenmei, Chenmei." Wei Chenghong didn't see Tatsumi, so he called her twice.
"Where is he? That shouldn't be. If he left, he should have told me.”By chance, Wei Chenghong saw that the bathroom door was closed. He thought for a moment and figured that it should be inside. The conditions here were the best in the entire fleet. Because of the conditions, even Wei Chenghong only took a shower once every few days. The two girls were similar to him. They also only had a chance to take a shower once every few days. As for ordinary marines, they didn't have the chance to take a shower. The privilege had existed since the day humans were born.
Since it was a rare opportunity, Wei Chenghong took the opportunity to run outside and asked for a cigarette from the marine outside the door. He started smoking. Ever since the appearance of Hiroyama Tatsumi, he had almost stopped smoking. This woman, who was inseparable from him, would take any cigarette from his hand. No matter how well he hid it, he would be found out.
Wei Chenghong had practically quit smoking. Even if he smoked, he would still brush his teeth to avoid being smelled.
