    A fleet, whether it is dominated by battleships or aircraft carriers.

    They all include cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and supply ships.

    Many times there will be submarines following.

    Zhou Weiguo currently only has three Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers in his navy.

    There are two aircraft carriers that have not been repaired, and as for other ships, there are none.

    So a problem arises, three heavy cruisers, these are the main surface ships, but what about the other ships?

    Generally, a fleet includes minelayers, minesweepers, etc., as well as destroyers and cruisers.

    You can’t live without these!

    So what Zhou Weiguo has to do now is to replenish the grassroots below.

    At the same time, these ships can also be used to train sailors.

    The system donated 50,000 sailors. The three Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers only used about 4,800 sailors, and there were almost 45,000 more sailors available.

    Even if the aircraft carriers Akagi and Kaga are built in the future, these two aircraft carriers will only need about 2,900 sailors in total.

    So Zhou Weiguo thought about it and decided to purchase destroyers and cruisers first.

    Among the destroyers, what Zhou Weiguo is interested in is the Fletcher-class destroyer that Meili served in World War II. This destroyer was not retired until the beginning of the 21st century.

    Known as the most famous destroyer in World War II, it was also the main destroyer of the Meridian in World War II.

    The most important thing is that this destroyer is very cost-effective.

    So for destroyers, Zhou Weiguo’s main preparation is to use Fletcher destroyers. This destroyer requires 30 million system points for one destroyer.

    Zhou Weiguo didn't care, and then went to see the cruiser.

    Now he is equipped with three Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruisers, so he does not plan to equip heavy cruisers for the time being.

    The next step is to equip the light cruiser.

    Cleveland-class light cruiser, this light cruiser came into Zhou Weiguo's sight.

    The Cleveland-class light cruiser is said to be a light cruiser, but in fact it can be regarded as a heavy cruiser.

    His standard displacement is 11,800 tons.

    The standard displacement difference from the Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser is only less than 3,000 tons.

    It is precisely because it is classified as a light cruiser that a Cleveland-class light cruiser only requires 50 million system points, instead of 100 million system points like the Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser.  Twenty million system points.

    Well, this is one type. In addition, Zhou Weiguo also took a fancy to another light cruiser.

    That is the Omaha light cruiser, with a displacement of more than 7,100 tons.

    This light cruiser was a cruiser designed and built by Melician to serve the navy after World War I.

    Compared with the cruisers designed in World War II, its performance is not excellent.

    It was a very outstanding type among the cruisers of various countries before World War II.

    And what really made Zhou Weiguo take it into consideration was its cost-effectiveness.

    The Omaha light cruiser was very forward-looking from the beginning of its design.

    After modification, it can be used in naval battles in World War II.

    And because it was designed and manufactured after World War I, the price of one of its ships is only 20 million system points, which is lower than the price of a Fletcher destroyer.

    After determining the number of destroyers equipped with Fletcher-class destroyers and cruisers equipped with Cleveland-class light cruisers and Omaha light cruisers, Zhou Weiguo was ready to serve.

    ?A Cleveland-class light cruiser costs 50 million system points, and Zhou Weiguo plans to exchange it for two.

    Zhou Weiguo exchanged 20 million system points for one Omaha light cruiser for three ships.

    A Fletcher destroyer cost 30 million system points, and Zhou Weiguo exchanged it for five ships.

    A total of ten warships were exchanged, costing Zhou Weiguo a total of 310 million.

    In addition, there are frigates, supply ships, minesweepers, and minelayers, which together cost Zhou Weiguo 50 million system points.

    A total of 360 million was spent on Zhou Weiguo.

    This immediately made Zhou Weiguo grin. When he saw that a ship only cost 20 to 30 million, or even 50 million, he was not afraid.

    But now I realize that this is just a ship!

      The navy is indeed a big spender, a bottomless pit, and now Zhou Weiguo has truly realized it.

    A destroyer costs tens of millions, and a heavy cruiser costs hundreds of millions.

    As for battleships, they are even more famous.

    Fortunately, the system provides unlimited resources, otherwise the fuel burned by these warships would cost an unknown amount of money.

    ??Going out for a cruise, a training trip, the shells fired, and the fuel consumed.

    No wonder people say that only rich people can afford the navy, but those without money can only play the army!

    However, after exchanging these warships, the naval power in his hands has also increased a lot. Now he can ensure escort and patrol in coastal waters without any problem.  after all

    The sailors given by the system can fight immediately as long as there are warships, without training at all.

    You don’t need to train any formations, just command them directly.

    "Shame~shame~This is the shame of our great empire. Our aircraft carrier was actually captured by the little Chinese people! You are all sinners of the empire!"

    At this time, Hirohito was in the imperial meeting, looking at the roaring of the navy ministers below.

    Those navy ministers were sitting there kneeling and not daring to speak. The Army opposite them stared at them with a look of relief.

    During this period, the Army was ridiculed a lot.

    Because they lost more than 400,000 troops in the last battle, they couldn't cover it up no matter how hard they tried.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? to the country, the army can become a military branch that everyone wants to fight, and the army soldiers in the country dare not wear military uniforms on the streets.

    Now that they see the navy being scolded, those war ministers feel very happy.

    "Yamamoto Goshiro, as the Navy's deputy commander and the commander of the First Air Force, don't you have anything to say?"

    After scolding for a while, Hirohito saw the low-brow and submissive looks of the people below, and he immediately became very angry. His target was directly directed at the current Vice Minister of the Navy and Yamamoto Wu Shiroku, who is also the commander of the First Air Force.

    Seeing that Hirohito called him, Yamamoto Wu Shilu had no choice but to stand up and said: "Your Majesty! Now we have only two ways, either to send a powerful fleet to China to recapture these two aircraft carriers. Or to declare these two aircraft carriers  was sunk, and then we urged the shipping department to build two new aircraft carriers as soon as possible and name them Akagi and Kaga!"
