In the end, the entire East China Sea Navy mobilized a huge force of 16,000 people and two fleets with a total of 68 warships of various types.

Even the four newly built amphibious landing ships were mobilized.

East China Sea First Fleet.

Contains two new generation 50,000-ton battleships (one of which is a warship commissioned by Akainu)

The rest include three cruisers, eight destroyers, 24 frigates and three amphibious landing ships, for a total of 40 warships of various types.

The entire fleet has a strength of 10,000 people.

Second East China Sea Fleet.

The flagship is the 25,000-ton Goa Kingdom battleship.

The rest include two cruisers, six destroyers, 18 frigates and an amphibious landing ship, for a total of 28 warships of various types.

The entire fleet has a strength of 6,000 men.

In terms of the mobilization ability of soldiers, the East China Sea is now second only to the headquarters and is by no means comparable to the other three seas.

When it comes to surface combat power, even the headquarters is far behind.

Two complete armored fleets are too intimidating.

Of course, in terms of high-end strength, Donghai is still far behind our headquarters.

After all, although Donghai also has real general-level combat power, which is not even less than that of the headquarters, the lieutenant general-level combat power is much less. As for the backbone of major generals, brigadiers or school-level forces, it is even less.

However, when it comes to grassroots strength, Donghai is stronger than the headquarters.

After all, there are basically no ordinary sailors in the East China Sea.

After three months of training in the East China Sea, no matter how bad he is, he can still reach the strength of our elite navy soldiers.

even...

If the elite navy soldiers from the East China Sea were sent to the headquarters, each of them would definitely be at the rank of lieutenant.

And this is why Akainu asked Li Yan to help the headquarters train new recruits. It is really incomparable!

------

Seven days later.

Corona Island Naval Port.

At this moment, forty warships of various types are docked here, the most conspicuous of which is...

Those two 50,000-ton battleships.

Where in this world have people seen such a giant steel beast armed to the teeth?

especially...

The two triple-mounted main guns that occupy almost half of the battleship's area make people shudder just by looking at them.

In addition to these two terrifying weapons of war, the other three amphibious landing ships with a total weight of 27,000 tons are also eye-catching.

Just looking at the appearance, you can hardly find any powerful weapons, and its main gun is not even as thick as the secondary gun of the previous battleship.

In addition to the main gun, which does not look powerful at all, there are only a few machine gun towers on the entire ship.

For a time, many people didn't even understand what these three warships were used for.

until...

When they saw rows and rows of strange vehicles parked inside the warship, as well as small gun barrels set up above the vehicles.

Some people began to understand the true purpose of this warship.

After all, since the advent of the automobile, there has been a saying that a special vehicle suitable for land combat can be built using the automobile platform.

And these strange-looking vehicles in front of me, but all carrying a small cannon, I'm afraid they are just that...

------

Ten days later.

New World, G1 branch.

Inside Akainu's temporary office.

"Akainu, you have taken too big a step. I am not against you moving the headquarters here, but you should also concentrate on building the headquarters first and then expand outside!"

"Now, in addition to the headquarters, you are also building three fortress bases within 100 nautical miles of the surrounding area. With our current military strength, we simply cannot guarantee the safe implementation of all projects."

Just now, after news came that a fortress base under construction was attacked, Sengoku, who resigned as marshal and became a naval adviser, couldn't help but criticize.

According to Akainu's plan, in addition to transforming the G1 branch into the naval headquarters, he also selected three islands within a 100 nautical mile range to build fortresses to protect the headquarters.

In other words, four projects are now being launched at the same time, which also means that the headquarters' troops need to defend four points at the same time to ensure the safe progress of the project.

As a result, the navy, which was already lacking in strength, now found it even more difficult to defend.

"Let Dauberman and Flying Squirrel go to support!"

Ignoring Sengoku's words, Akainu spoke directly to the messenger.

"Yes, Marshal!"

"Akainu, let's send Kizaru out. The distance between Dauberman and the flying squirrel is too far. We won't be able to reach him in just a few hours!"

"Shut up, I am the marshal!"

"You, hey!"

Seeing Akainu like this, Sengoku sighed helplessly.

after all...

He is no longer a marshal of the navy.

However, doesn't Akainu know that they are far away?

Obviously not, but now only the two of them can be mobilized, and once Kizaru is sent out, it will not be good if Fortress No. 3 is a decoy.

Besides, Major General Tina, whom he had just promoted, was stationed at Fortress No. 3, with a total of 1,000 naval soldiers under his command.

Even if the pirates broke through the fleet defense line and successfully landed on the island, it would not be so easy to capture Tina.

Akainu knows very well that although Tina has just been promoted to major general, her strength is already very close to that of a lieutenant general.

There may be considerable losses, but there should be no problem in preserving Fortress No. 3.

------

It is about 78 nautical miles away from the new naval headquarters.

Fortress No. 3.

At this moment, the fortress is only half-built and has no weapons, so it has no defensive capabilities.

After arranging the evacuation of all construction workers, Tina took the navy under her command and deployed a defense line with the help of this half-built fortress.

Although it has no defense, it has been half-built after all, and there are still many bunkers of various kinds.

"Rear Admiral Tina, the escort fleet reported that more than ten pirate ships have broken through their defenses and are now heading towards the island."

"Order everyone to stick to the defense line. The headquarters' support is already on the way. Our mission is to ensure that the fortress is not destroyed by pirates before the support arrives!"

"yes!"

------

At the same time, it was about 20 nautical miles away from Fortress No. 3.

A huge fleet is racing through the waves on the sea.

"Admiral, about 12 nautical miles ahead, dozens of pirate ships were found fighting with the headquarters fleet!"

"At the same time, it has been confirmed that twelve pirate ships have broken through the defense of the headquarters fleet and are currently approaching the island where Fortress No. 3 is located!"

On the watchtower, a sailor put down the telescope in his hand, then picked up the ship's communication microphone on the side and began to report.

And his report also sounded in the bridge at the same time.

"Li Yan, it seems like something is not right over there at Fortress No. 3."

"Indeed, Violet, help me confirm the naval defense force on the island!"

After hearing Taotu's words, Li Yan nodded, and then gave instructions to Violet.

Half a minute later...

"It has been confirmed that the island's defense force is about a thousand marines. They are currently relying on the construction site of Fortress No. 3 for defense. The commander is Major General Tina of the headquarters!"

"Tina?"

Upon hearing this, Taotu's expression suddenly changed.
Chapter completed!
