Seeing that Locke had already set the tone, Shiloh, who wanted to continue persuading, was no longer easy to say. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The Reserve Knights are the foundation of our Lordaeron army, I hope you can quickly build the structure of the Knights, and tell me what you need."

After dealing with this issue, Locke began to discuss the military aspect.

Now, Locke doesn't know exactly how many soldiers he has.

He vaguely remembered that he had four main combat regiments, one cavalry regiment, three reserve regiments, and the air force. There are also quite a few local garrisons, and the exact number is really unclear to him.

This is to ask Colonel Hudson, the military chief of the Southern Theater of Operations.

"Great Lord, the armed forces of our Southern Theater are much stronger than before!"

Hudson, the old colonel, reported to Locke with emotion.

"At present, the Southern Theater has four main combat infantry regiments under its jurisdiction, each with a full strength of 4,000 people. A cavalry regiment with a total of 5,000 cavalry. Three local reserve corps, each with 2,000 men, and the garrison of each town had 500 soldiers. Because of Iwa's special location, the Iva garrison has a total of 2,500 soldiers. ”

"So far, the army has more than 32,000 people."

It's not that he doesn't know, but he is shocked, Locke didn't expect that he already has so many soldiers under his command now. All the officers and priests in the conference room were also a little surprised by this number. They will not forget that two years ago, when the Fifth Army came to Eva, there were less than 4,000 people.

"What about the Air Force?!"

Locke asked with a smile, only to see Hudson shrug his shoulders and sit back.

Just as Locke was surprised, Goblin Gates, who was sitting next to the mage, stood up.

"Here, Grand Lord!" In order to attract the attention of the Great Lord, Gates had to stand in a chair, and he waved his hands and shouted loudly.

The human mages around him quietly moved their bodies and narrowed the distance between them and him.

"Oh, Gates, tell me how far our Air Force has come today!" Locke asked him with a smile, he was more looking forward to the Air Force than the Army.

"Hey, Great Lord! This will blow your mind! Gates grinned and pulled out a piece of paper from his body, coughed pretendedly, and then read it out loud.

"Our Air Force! There is an existing air base. Well, there are 793 pilots, and there are no specific statistics for other ground crews, so there should be tens of thousands, right? But that's not the point! Gates glanced at the people present angrily and continued to read downward. Through the efforts of the aircraft factories during this time, on average, five aircraft roll off the production line every month. ”

"Today we have 12 bombers assembled, and we have 10 more parts in stock. 107 helicopters, 30 of which are capable of assembling parts from stock. ”

"For some mechanical reasons, the fighters were completely dismounted, and all the fighters were dismantled and reheated." Gates scratched his head and looked at the paper in his hand, "This is not the point, it is not suitable for us anyway, so I got off the horse." ”

"We have a total of 3 bomber groups and 8 helicopter groups. At this stage, it has been possible to monitor the airspace of our silver pine forest during the day and around the clock. ”

"Great Lord, for the sake of future battles. It is necessary to build a new air base on the island in the middle of Lake Lordanmere, as well as on the side of the mountain in Serberchel. Gates put away the note in his hand, and he said with some depression, "When our engineers designed the planes, they didn't expect them to fly such a long distance." So, often they can only fly to the outskirts of our silver pine forest, stay for less than a few minutes and have to return, and a lot of crude oil is wasted in the middle of a meaningless cruise. ”

"If we had the new airport in those locations I mentioned above. It will be easier for us to deal with future battles and patrol our airspace, and we will be able to extend our zone of control outward. ”

"Well, that's good. After the meeting is over for a while, you also stay. ”

Locke nodded in acknowledgment of Gates' achievement, and Gates smiled smugly and sat down.

"How is our navy doing now?"

Locke vaguely remembered that he seemed to have appointed a captain in a port to temporarily serve as the temporary head of the navy.

"It's not good, Great Lord."

Just as Locke was looking around, a young major stood up, and Locke remembered his name.

"Major Maslan Aristide, how is the state of the navy in our harbor?" Locke looked at him expectantly.

The young major shook his head helplessly when he heard Locke's question. "Two small merchant ships converted into warships, and one medium-sized merchant ship converted into warships. These ships were sold to us by goblin merchants. ”

"Our navy is still in its infancy, Great Lord! We need help! Maslan tried to convince Locke on this occasion not to keep his eyes on the Army and Air Force. He looked at Locke excitedly and said, "Nearly 70% of our planet is the sea!" We need the Navy! We in Lordaeron itself are a country surrounded by the sea, and we have tens of thousands of square kilometers of coastline! ”

"Beneath these shores and seas, there are plenty of abundant resources waiting for us to tap! And now they're all overrun by the Fishmen, the Naga, people from other countries and races! ”

"In our territorial waters! Countless pirates are sailing there! They wantonly extort and rob merchant ships that pass by along the way! Throw the majesty of our Lordaeron in the barrel and blow it out, and make our territorial waters their paradise! We can't let them go on like this! ”

"Great Lord! We need a navy!! ”

Looking at Maslan's face that was about to cry, Locke couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed and forgot about the navy.

"Major Maslan, you're right, we need a strong navy. Come and defend our coastline and protect our interests in Lordaeron! Locke saluted him solemnly, "I'm sorry, I was negligent in this regard. ”

"The Great Lord—" Major Maslan looked at Locke expectantly, hoping to hear the answer he was expecting.

"The naval power of Kurtilas is on the sea to the north of us. If we really want to develop our navy, then it is most appropriate and convenient to start with them. Hudson, who was silent, said these words lightly.

Originally, Locke's plan was to contact Barry Westwin, who was stationed along the coastline of the Hand of Tyr, and let his fleet come and station there. At the same time, it can also help the newly established naval fleet here.

As a result, the guy was reluctant to come, and his excuse was good, his fleet was going to help the civilians of the Hand of Tyr. This made it difficult for Locke to say anything.

Now that Hudson said this, Locke suddenly remembered.

That's right! Look for Kurtilas! They're good friends of the Lordaerons! There must be a lot of shipbuilders and related personnel!
