Chapter 192 Senna Army Navy (Fifth)
The recruitment of navy soldiers went smoothly. Because Locke and the others released the news in advance, almost all the people in the Holman Kingdom who had this idea came to participate in the selection held by Locke.
The number of people is a bit beyond Locke's imagination. After all, there will never be fewer talents in a country!
Because the Sena Army has been winning battles and successfully kept the Holman Kingdom, they have been regarded as heroes by the people of Holman, and the people have no resistance to the Sena Army.
As the number of people increased, Locke's selection criteria became stricter. Most of the team of nearly 10 people were wiped out by Locke, leaving only about 1 people!
As for the 1 people, Locke still doesn't know if he can get all of them. After all, the Longjiang River is so big, and it's not a very large river. If he builds a super large-scale navy, it doesn't conform to the law.
Medium-sized ships like frigates and destroyers generally only need to be equipped with more than 200 to 300 people, and the fleet that Locke intends to form, at present, can only be equipped with a maximum of ten destroyers and frigates.
Even with the addition of a large number of small ships, the Senna Army's navy can only recruit 7000 people at most!
Therefore, he has to choose again and eliminate another 1 people among these 3000 people!
The selection is very simple, it is nothing more than the selection of mental conduct and mastery of water nature.
Locke doesn't need too many rough men, he has enough and advanced enough armaments and weapons to make his soldiers more aggressive, so he cares more about character.
And after another screening by Locke and Poposa, they also eliminated some people who were not very ideal.
In the end, they also left 8000 people!
There is always a need for a little more people, and they need people to take care of logistics and so on. It is impossible for sailors to do everything.
After selecting the manpower, Locke also began to select warships in the arms system.
To deal with these foreign natives, he doesn't need too advanced weapons, such as missiles, which are completely useless.
As long as the battleship has naval guns, other artillery of various calibers, and some torpedoes, it is enough. Relying on these artillery and torpedoes, Locke is confident that all the navies in the world will be defeated!
"Do you want to spend 80 munitions value to exchange for a Chinese Aegis-class destroyer?"
"Yes!"
"Do you want to spend 80 munitions value to exchange for a Chinese Aegis-class destroyer?"
"Yes!"
Faced with the prompt that popped up, Locke chose Yes without hesitation. Although there were better destroyers available, Locke still chose this Chinese Aegis-class destroyer because the word "China" has a special meaning to him. Emotions!
And to deal with these scum, even if the Chinese Aegis destroyer is not the best destroyer, it is completely enough to deal with the natives of this world!
Locke exchanged a total of six destroyers and spent 480 million munitions value. If he had exchanged so much munitions value before, he would definitely feel distressed for a while, but now he already has more than 7000 million munitions value. To him it was just a drop in the bucket!
The normal displacement of the Chinese Aegis-class destroyer is 5800 tons, and the full-load displacement is 6100 tons. These are just enough to meet the needs of Longjianghe. If the displacement is larger, Locke would not dare to buy them no matter how much he likes them.
In addition to exchanging six Chinese Aegis-class destroyers, Locke also exchanged five 054A-class frigates. These warships are also made in China!
The displacement of the 054A-class frigate is about 4000 tons, and the full-load displacement is only more than [-] tons. It can be used in the Longjiang River.
Eleven medium-sized battleships fell into the water, immediately making the Longjiang River wharf lively. The sailors who had just joined were stunned when they saw these huge warships!
They swear that they have never seen such a huge warship in their entire life, let alone seen it, they have never heard of such a shocking warship in this world!
And there is one more thing worthy of their attention, that is, the warships of the Senna army are all made of steel, unlike this other navy, the warships are all made of wood.
This means that once they enter a battle, their warships can rush forward and ram the enemy's warships unscrupulously. I believe that under the impact of these steel behemoths, any wooden warship will be sunk by them!
If this is the case, why worry about boarding battles, the enemy's warships dare not let them approach at all!
In fact, as long as someone pays attention to it, he can immediately find that the equipment of the Sena army seems to be all made of iron, and it is not filled with countless wooden products like the army of this era.
Iron products are undoubtedly of much better quality than wooden products, at least for war!
And the sailors can also see the huge gun barrels on the warship. They are not the natives of other kingdoms who have never seen the artillery units of the Sena Army. On the contrary, the characteristics of the various arms of the Sena Army have formed an impression. It was deeply imprinted in the minds of the Holmans.
Ironclad ships plus giant cannons, this combination is simply invincible, so they can be crushed when fighting the enemy?
Just like the current Senna army?
Thinking of this, the sailors became excited, that man didn't want to enjoy the victory, that man didn't want to watch his enemy look at him in awe!
Seeing the expressions of the sailors, Locke was very satisfied. This is what he wanted!
The only way to cheer up the soldiers is to let them have a belief in victory and firmly believe that they are invincible. Only in this way, when the real battle starts, they will not be frightened!
Now Locke has produced eleven medium-sized ships, with a manning of about 3000 people. Each Locke of the Chinese Aegis-class destroyer is equipped with 054 sailors, and each of the 200A-class frigate Locke is equipped with [-] people.
But in this way, there are still 5000 people left in his navy army, and he has to deal with these!
Fortunately, Locke is only equipped with medium-sized ships now, and the small ships are not equipped yet. It is good now. He can decide how many small ships he needs to equip based on the number of sailors.
The displacement of each of those small ships is only a few hundred tons. Even if they are equipped with more, except for a little crowded, there is no major safety hazard, so Locke doesn't need to worry too much.
