In the foreign wars launched by the Haihan and Han dynasties in the past, military spending has always been one of the points of contention between the civil and military factions. The tactics of the Haihan Army are basically formulated around guns and weapons and sea mobility, which also determines that the cost of operations is very amazing, and the minimum daily consumption of an army battalion-level unit in wartime is tens of thousands of yuan, and the naval consumption that needs to use warships is still higher than that of the army. As the saying goes, when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, although the income of the war is large, but the expenditure is also quite amazing, the consideration of the Haihan high-level is to try not to do loss-making business as much as possible, and the military expenditure during the war must try to make up for it from other aspects of the income.

The practice of claiming compensation from the defeated side after the war is not new, and Portugal and the Netherlands, including Portugal and the Netherlands, were victims of this trick. Ning Qi even suggested that Tao Donglai recall Schneider from Danzhou as soon as possible, so that he could quickly draw up a demand for war reparations, so that he could put pressure on the Spaniards as soon as possible after the end of the war.

Of course, this is actually just a joke, for the victory or defeat of this war, Haihan is indeed relatively sure, but how long the war will last, which areas will be affected, in fact, everyone has no idea in their hearts, and for the time being, we can't talk about the content of the post-war negotiations. The Spaniards held back for such a long time to carry out retaliation against Haihan, presumably after a long period of planning, when the two sides fought, the opponent may not be crushed in an ideal situation. If the Spanish fleet diverted its target and rushed to other areas along the coast of Hainan Island, the Haihan army might not be able to do a dime thorough defense.

It has to be said that under the conscious operation of the crossing group, Haihan's preparation efficiency was indeed quite good, and on the day that Shengli Fort sent a telegram to various places, the local government and relevant departments of the whole island began to mobilize for war separately.

Haihan's war mobilization was planned, and the specific tasks of each department and each post were also divided in advance. War mobilization is divided into three levels, one is local small-scale wars, such as the wars launched overseas by the Haihan over the years, almost all of them are listed here, this kind of war has little impact on the Haihan mainland, the scale of the troops participating in the war is at the level of 1,000 people, and the mobilization required is mainly based on various combat materials.

The second level is a large-scale war, so far, it is probably only through the period when the early troops were sent to Annam, which can be regarded as a large-scale war for the Haihan at that time, although the number of troops invested is very limited, but at that time, the Haihan army can gamble on the limited belongings. At that time, all the manufacturing industries in the Haihan control area gave priority to supplying the needs of the war, and a large number of young people were recruited as reserves, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country was mobilized.

The third level is a major war that determines the fortunes of the country, and if such a situation happens, it may not only be the garrison on Hainan Island that needs to be mobilized, but the Executive Committee will even recall the troops stationed in various parts of the country, and at the same time recruit all citizens of appropriate age, and even send a request for help to the allies. If the situation deteriorates to a certain extent, the crossing group may also have to face the dilemma of leaving Hainan Island to find another place to stay. Of course, this hypothetical scenario is only necessary to formulate a plan, and so far there seems to be no adversary in the South China Sea that can put Haihan in danger of annihilation, and as Haihan grows stronger, the possibility of such an extreme situation is becoming less and less.

The mobilization for the war this time was only at the level of the first level, and the foreign armed invasion of 1,000 people was not enough to throw the powerful Haihan Kingdom into disarray, and the mobilization in most areas was mainly aimed at the garrisons and militias in order to strengthen local defenses. Only a small number of naval units received orders from the Ministry of Defense to rush back to Sanya to defend the capital.

Most of Haihan's war materials are produced in Sanya, and they are fighting at home, so they don't have to worry too much about the supply of materials. However, all ordnance departments have quietly canceled the leave arrangements for all personnel, and from now on, they will start producing guns, ammunition, and other combat materials at full capacity. If necessary, in addition to the existing garrison, Sanya can also arm a reserve militia force of about 3,000 people to participate in the battle at any time, and it can be said that the confidence is quite sufficient.

In terms of war mobilization capacity, Haihan has long surpassed the vast majority of countries in this era, and the only obvious shortcoming is probably that the scale of the armed forces is relatively limited, and the actual military strength will be relatively thin compared with the real powers. This is because Haihan's current control area and total population are limited, and there are only so many school-age personnel who can be recruited into the army, and the size of the standing army that can be maintained is naturally like that. Second, the training, daily operation, and combat costs of the Haihan army are very high, and even if the country has money, it really can't afford to support an army that is too large.

Two days later, all the senior members of the Executive Committee returned to Fort Victory, and the people met again to discuss the current state of preparations.

The day after receiving the news, the navy had already dispatched two reconnaissance fleets to the east to the hinterland of the South China Sea, hoping to find traces of the Spanish fleet halfway through. However, during the voyage of more than 700 nautical miles, it is obviously impossible for the Spanish fleet to sail in a straight line to Sanya, and under the current scientific and technological conditions, it is almost tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack to expect to find the opponent's fleet in the vast sea, even if it is not much use to know the general course of the opponent, you can only try your luck.

There are still a few radars on the ship that the traversers brought here, but the executive committee thinks that there is no need to make a big deal about this, and it is up to the traversers themselves to go to sea to operate, not to mention that these civilian radars are not necessarily very effective in searching for wooden sailing ships. It is better to let the reconnaissance fleet go to sea to try its luck, and if it finds something, it is enough to send back a simple warning message with the ship's radio.

The Navy's ironclad fleet is assembling in Sanya from all over the country, and it is expected that the assembly can be completed in three to four days, plus the local naval fleet, this is almost two fully equipped fleets guarding Sanya at the same time, and the security level of Sanya can even be said to be the highest period in history. If the Spaniards really take Sanya as their primary target, then they will kick the iron plate at that time. The deployment of the Haihan military is not foolproof, at least it is also fortified layer by layer, and there will be no obvious opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.
