Chapter 420 - Fleet Allocation

"Our main expenses are these two items, together with the other miscellaneous expenses of about four million...as well as the maintenance fees for the entire city, and the resources we've collected over the past few days. Almost all of them have been changed into gold coins, totaling about 46 million gold coins. At present, our surplus is about seven million gold coins.. Based on the current situation, our tax on the Holy City of Beauty has almost reached the limit that the citizens of the city can endure. Currently, we can only collect 300,000 to 500,000 gold coins a day. Moreover, as far as I know, resistance organizations are brewing everywhere and could erupt at any time. Many citizens are also using their connections to seek help from the surrounding suzerains. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be people taking advantage of the situation. Therefore, politically speaking, our situation in the Sacred City of America is basically at risk. Based on my personal estimates, we'll only stay for another month or so. After that, we'll have no choice but to fall into a b.l.o.o.d.y cycle of suppression. And once this happens, the political and military pressure we'll face will be unprecedented."

In fact, apart from Allie, no one was listening to Morton's subsequent report.

Zha Mu and Karman only cared about one thing, and that was the distribution of the fleet.

To the two of them, this was the key.

Lei Luo did not keep them in suspense. After Morton finished his report, he quickly laid out the distribution plan for the new fleet.

"The distribution of the fleet is very simple. Karman will form a lord-tier main force fleet, and the rest of the wars.h.i.+ps will belong to Commander Zha Mu."

According to the Alfa Empire's current structure, a lord-cla.s.s main force fleet would be formed.

There would be 50 heavy battles.h.i.+ps, 100 battles.h.i.+ps, 300 heavy cruisers, 200 cruisers, 400 destroyers, and 600 frigates.

This meant that Zha Mu would be given 30 heavy battles.h.i.+ps, 20 battles.h.i.+ps, 200 heavy cruisers, 100 cruisers, 400 destroyers, and 400 frigates.

It should be said that this replenishment was already ma.s.sive for the Grizzly Pirates.

However, Zha Mu found it hard to say that he was satisfied with what Karman had received.

"Karman has just arrived, and our Grizzly Pirates have already paid the price of being crippled for our guild. Nine out of ten of our fleets have been destroyed. Yet, the replenishment our Grizzly Pirates have received is actually inferior to the new Lord Karman?"

Zha Mu pouted indignantly.

"Even if there is a natural difference in status between pirates and the regular army, it shouldn't be to such an extent, right?"

Zha Mu's reaction was within Lei Luo's expectations. He waited until Zha Mu had just finished speaking before pausing slightly, then, he slowly said, "Today's arrangements are not to reward people based on merit, but to prepare for the Great War. At this time, it's not about who has the most merit and gets the most things. It's about who has the most ability and gets the most things. The meeting was very rushed. I didn't have the time to introduce Lord Karman to everyone. Lord Karman was originally a lord under King Beichen. Ten years ago, during the lord training exercise under King Beichen, Lord Karman was ranked seventh. As for his strategic index, it was 12."

Although Lei Luo said that he wanted to introduce him to everyone, in reality, he was only speaking to Zha Mu. He made a special emphasis on the last sentence, because Zha Mu's strategic index was not even a little bit inferior to Karman's.

When Lei Luo said this, he saw that Zha Mu still seemed to be angry. So, he stood up, walked to Zha Mu's side, and patted his shoulder, "Zha Mu, don't just look at the current situation. I think you know better than me what the situation is like. We can't stay here any longer. Within a month, we have to occupy a new base and start our long-term development there. "I'll announce the specific plan later. After we get that new base, I'll give you everything that the Grizzly Pirates deserve."

Zha Mu laughed coldly and said, "Well said."

Lei Luo looked at the situation and knew that he had to use his trump card. "In three years, how about one lord-cla.s.s main force fleet per year?"

"Hmm?" Zha Mu's brows opened up. "How is that possible? What city can support such an expansion?"

Lei Luo smiled and asked, "If we acquire the Cape of Good Hope, would you still have the same doubts?"

"The Cape of Good Hope?" Zha Mu's eyelashes fluttered at a high frequency. "With our little fleet, how can we defeat the Cape of Good Hope?"

"Don't worry about that. I will announce it to everyone later. You only said that if you want to obtain the Cape of Good Hope, can you temporarily bear with my unfairness to you?"

"Of course!" Zha Mu said almost without hesitation. "If you really have the ability to defeat the Cape of Good Hope, naturally, I can bear with everything."

"Okay!" Lei Luo smiled and patted Zha Mu's shoulder with his right hand. He waved his left hand and said, "Look at the map."

Allie had already prepared the map. Lei Luo walked over and pointed at the map, showing a city.

"Whether it is the overall level of talent, the strength of the fleet, and the overall economic potential, the Anglo-immortal Economic Cooperation Alliance is superior to the Phoenix Alliance. And the reason why the union is at a disadvantage in all these years of struggle is all because of the battle seven years ago, and the focus of this battle is precisely this city, the Great Wall of Iron Blood. The greatest characteristic of the Great Wall of Iron Blood is that it has a huge amount of high-quality magic ores that are very rare even in the entire empire. To put it simply, this city is basically made up of energy concentrates. The energy it can provide is enough for a hundred lord-cla.s.s fleets to maintain a normal patrolling battle for 10,000 years. At the same time, it is also enough for 50 lord-cla.s.s fleets to jump from any part of the empire to any part of the empire in one go. This city is located within the sphere of influence of the British Immortal Economic Union. The British Immortal Economic Union has always treated this city as the most important mana base to use. A large number of magic collectors and large-scale magic mines have been built on top of it. Seven years ago, there were as many as 80 million magic guides on the Great Wall who could excavate and process magic power."
