In the East China Sea, the navy has a total of 20 branches, including branches 1-18 under the East China Sea system, and two independent branches 153 and Rogge Town.

As for the military strength, it is not even 5,000 people...

This is not talking about a branch, but the entire Donghai!

After all, they are all fourth- and fifth-level branches. Except for Rogge Town, the 153rd branch with the largest number of troops only has more than 200 people.

Looking at the information compiled by Ain, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh slightly. This was really weak.

Not only the quality is not good, but the quantity is also not good.

Putting down the information in his hands, Li Yan silently opened the system space and looked at the unused items in it.

"System, first let me use the 800 random sailors and 150 elite sailors, as well as the scientific research team specializing in chemistry."

[Ding, it has been used, but due to the large number of people this time, all people will arrive gradually within ten days]

Well, after all, there are nearly a thousand sailors plus an entire scientific research team, so the arrival time has changed from a three-day formula to a ten-day formula, which is normal.

In this way, Li Yan had more than 1,100 troops, which gave him enough confidence to go and reorganize the navy in the East China Sea.

Otherwise, as Ain fears, too many sailors will be eliminated at once, causing various branches in the East China Sea to fall into the dilemma of having no available soldiers.

After solving the human problem, the next step is architecture and technology.

Li Yan originally thought he was very wealthy after harvesting a lot in the Grand Route, but when he started playing construction again, he discovered...

I am still the same pauper.

The first is the shipyard. It cost a million credits to redeem the blueprints. But now if you want to build this thing, just to build an artificial island of almost 10 square kilometers on the edge of Corona Island will cost 1 million credits.

Coupled with the construction of a large-scale comprehensive shipyard, it is another 1 million contribution. Fortunately, local materials can be used.

However, even if this is the case, the entire set will result in the loss of 3 million merit points.

If I didn't have nearly 6 million in merits now, I really wouldn't be able to bear it.

This does not mean that it cannot be built on Corona Island or other uninhabited islands around it, rather than building an artificial island.

There are really too few islands around that meet the construction requirements. Another problem is that even if the construction requirements are met, the nearest island is a full 50 nautical miles away, which is not easy for Li Yan to control.

After all, this shipyard is very important to Li Yan's future plans. It can even be said to be the core. He must keep it under his eyes at all times.

And even if the main island of Corona is large enough, you can't take up one-fifth of the entire island just to build a shipyard...

Therefore, in the end, Li Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth and choose the artificial island plan.

After confirming the construction plan, Li Yan finally selected the construction location according to the system prompts. It is located about 200 meters east of Corona Island. There is a large area here with a sea surface depth of only more than 10 meters, which is just suitable for building an artificial island.

It is connected to the main island by a bridge.

It was not easy to build a large-scale comprehensive shipyard, and soon Li Yan had a headache again for the training camp.

The original plan was to create a comprehensive super training camp for navy soldiers from all over the East China Sea.

Once this training camp is successfully built, it will accommodate hundreds or even thousands of sailors for training at the same time in the future. This place...

It can’t be too small either!

After looking through the system, a super training camp, plus various supporting equipment, has a drawing of 800,000 credits, and the cost of construction and materials totals 2.5 million credits.

If this were all done by the system, the total would be 3.3 million merit credits. However, after Li Yan completed the shipyard, he only had about 2.8 million merit credits left, which was not enough at all.

But the good thing is that because the super training camp does not have technology that is too advanced for that era, it can be built by local pirates, and the materials can be directly used in the pirate world.

This made Li Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyway, there are still more than 8 months left in the contract with Luo Lan Company. When the time comes, just let Gross’s construction team do the work directly. If you don’t use it for free, it will be in vain!

As for materials, Li Yan is not short of money now. What was seized from the pirates, plus the 300 million beli that Taotu ordered for 500 rifles before, is more than one billion.

This does not include the 3 billion annual allocation that will be provided by the Ministry in the future.

Li Yan, who was used to being poor, didn't know how to spend the money at this moment.

In this way, Li Yan only needs to bear the construction cost of the artificial island worth 1 million merit points.

As for the original large-scale training ground on the main island, Li Yan does not plan to demolish it, but will keep it and build it into a training camp for the East China Sea elite. The newly built super training camp will be used as a training place for ordinary sailors.

As for the gravity training rooms, one with ten times power and one with twenty times power remain in the elite training camp, and the others have been moved to the super training camp.

Along with the construction of the training ground, the problem of accommodation for a large number of sailors also needs to be solved, but this is not a problem at all.

There are three large marine dormitories to start with. We have the blueprints anyway, so there is no need to consume additional merit points. As for the construction issues, let Gross take care of it directly. Are there materials...

Li Yan still said the same thing, brother is not short of money!

Okay, now that the training camp and accommodation issues have been finalized, the next step is the Institute of Chemistry.

Basically, there is no need to consider it, and it will continue to be built underground, next to the Gun and Ship Research Institute.

In the future, more and more research institutes will form a super underground scientific research cluster in the 18th branch, continuously providing Li Yan with technologies that are ahead of the times.

Looking at the remaining 1.8 million merit points in his hand, Li Yan finally set his sights on the column of the military port.

after all...

Nowadays, the military port of the Eighteenth Branch is too small. Take Taotu's warship as an example. It can only stop at sea a few hundred meters away and then change to a small boat to land on the island. It is really embarrassing.

In the military port part of the construction module, Li Yan could only silently shed tears of envy from the corner of his mouth when he looked at the super military port plan with an artificial sub-island covering an area of ​​50 square kilometers.

I am really too poor...

A blueprint worth 10 million merit points, plus a construction fee of 15 million merit points and a material fee of 18 million merit points.

I can’t afford to be hurt!

at last...

After all kinds of tangles, Li Yan had no choice but to choose the plan of an ordinary large-scale military port.

It can dock 3 super warships, 10 large warships and dozens of small and medium-sized warships at the same time. It also has three dedicated berths for submarines, and other basic supporting facilities are also available.

The blueprint redemption fee is 800,000 merit points. As for the construction and materials, there is no need to spend merit points. They can all be completed by people and materials from the pirate world.

It is quite in line with Li Yan's current needs.

As for the remaining 1 million merits, they cannot be used indiscriminately. After all, there will be issues such as relocation and placement of the gravity training room, which will cost merits.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Come in!"

Just after Li Yang had exchanged the drawings for a large ordinary military port, there was a knock on the office door.

"Major General, as per your request, orders have been issued to all branch chiefs, asking them to temporarily hand over their work to their deputies and arrive here within a week!"

"I mean, Ain, you don't need to be so formal when there's no one else around, right?"

"no!"

Shaking his head, Ain directly expressed his rejection.

"Okay, as long as you're happy!"

"Major General, do you still remember what you promised me?"

"Oh, did I promise you anything? Which thing?"

"Li Yan!"

"Look, this is much more normal. I'm really not used to the way you acted just now!"

Seeing Ain's face change instantly, Li Yan also said with a smile.

"Let's go, my junior sister Ain, I will take you to see our eighteenth branch..."
Chapter completed!
