Chapter 2954

Why did Li Yuande come to Jinlan Port to take up this job? Qian Tiandun had indeed learned about it through the information provided by Yan Chujie beforehand.

In his opinion, Li Yuande's admiration for him was not the main reason for this matter. The reason why all parties reached a consensus to send Li Yuande to Camlanh Port was actually due to interests.

However, there were not many ships brought to the south by the special warfare division, and a reliable fleet was just needed to provide capacity guarantee for the next operation. Li Yuande's arrival was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

However, Gao Qiaonan still has doubts about this: "Fu Ruifeng's ships are all civilian ships, and most of the crew are ordinary people with no military experience. Wouldn't it be a bit risky to let them go with the army?"

Qian Tiandun said: "This kind of cooperation has both advantages and disadvantages. If we want to save military expenditures and give full play to the logistics fleet, we must bear certain risks."

When Qian Tiandun said this, he looked directly at Gaoqiao Nandao: "Do you know what is the most important thing? Fu Ruifeng participates in the operation as a private commercial organization, and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Annan Garrison and the Xingdao Garrison. It brings us great mobility.”

"Do you think Feng Annan and Luo Jie are not reliable enough?" Gao Qiaonan immediately sensed Qian Tiandun's implication.

Qian Tiandun didn't answer his question directly: "It's better to rely on ourselves than to rely on the sky and the earth. If we want to gain a foothold in the South China Sea, we still have to find a way to form our own fleet...you know the difficulty of this matter Bar?"

Takahashi Nan replied: "I understand the humble job. If you want a fleet, you must first have people who can drive it."

Warships are not the most urgently needed equipment for special warfare divisions. As long as Qian Tiandun asks, Chen Yixin, who is far away in the north, will not hesitate to allocate part of the warships of the North Sea Fleet to the special warfare divisions.Moreover, there are already several shipyards in the northern region, and if necessary, they will be fully activated to continuously provide new ships for the special forces.

The problem is that the North Sea Fleet only operates in the north, and most of the sailors have never even been to the waters south of the Yangtze River Estuary after enlisting, and they know nothing about the climate, sea conditions, and geography of the South China Sea.Transferring them to the South China Sea is like letting Qian Tiandun's troops enter Liaodong back then, because they will not adapt to the environment and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

The few veterans who had been active in the South China Sea were basically brought over by Qian Tiandun, but the number was far from enough to rebuild a fleet.However, Qian Tiandun has been away to the north for 20 years, and his foundation in the south is shallow. It is not easy to recruit sailors. For the time being, he can only rely on the local navy to contribute.

Partners like Feng Annan and Luo Jie, at best, dispatched their fleets to cooperate with special operations divisions, but they would never give up the hard-earned navy to Qian Tiandun.If the special warfare division wants to solve the problem from the root, it can only take the path of self-reliance.

At this time, the results of the first phase of the Luzon region have been notified to the entire army, and the special warfare division must also take action.Although the problem of the armed fleet will not be resolved for a while, the fleet brought by Li Yuande can at least alleviate the capacity demand of the special warfare division to a certain extent, and also provide a special channel for future personnel recruitment. This is obviously welcome.

In the afternoon of the same day, Qian Tiandun personally went to the port to inspect the ships and personnel brought by Li Yuande.

It has to be said that Qian Tiandun's reputation in the country is really very influential. Those ship bosses who had doubts about Li Yuande, after seeing Qian Tiandun himself, immediately put all the risks and rewards behind them. He patted his chest and assured that he would definitely complete the task assigned by Qian Tiandun.

Although they don't worship Qian Tiandun like Li Yuande, but for them, Qian Tiandun is a living legend, and it is a great blessing to work with such a big man. Take it out and brag to the younger generation.

"My lord, why don't you come and have a look on the boat?" Knowing Qian Tiandun's intentions, Li Yuande offered the invitation.

Li Yuande had long thought that if Qian Tiandun hadn't checked the condition of these ships with his own eyes, how could he let them join the special operations division with confidence.The ships brought over this time have all been selected, and Li Yuande believes that they should be able to meet Qian Tiandun's requirements.

Qian Tiandun casually pointed to a boat and said, "Just this one!"

Li Yuande quickly called the boss of the ship over and asked him to introduce the situation of the ship to Qian Tiandun.

"Master Qian, this small ship was built by Shengli Port Shipyard three years ago. It is a Yugong-class B-type sailing ship with three decks. It can carry both people and cargo, and the full-load speed is six knots. For this errand, They also specially brought a batch of supplies from Sanya, and put them in the cargo hold on the lowest floor."

While listening to his introduction, Qian Tiandun strolled to check the situation on board.

The Yugong-class sailboat is a comprehensive supply ship developed by Haihan in the 30s. It is divided into Type A for military use and Type B for civilian use.The appearance of the two ship types is roughly the same. The main difference is that the hull material of the military A-type is thicker, and there are side gun positions on the upper deck, which can have a certain amount of self-defense firepower.

This sailboat, which has been in the water for three years, is in very good condition, the deck is cleaned very clean, and all kinds of rope tools are neatly placed.

Qian Tiandun asked the ship's boss to open the door of the cargo hold on the front deck, and went down the ladder to the cabin to confirm that the good condition of the ship was not just on the surface.

Li Yuande, who was following him, also introduced at the right time: "This time, ten Yugong-class sailboats have been transferred, all of which have been specially selected. The condition of the boats is relatively good, and adults can use them with confidence."

Although the Yugong-class sailing boats accounted for one-third of the more than [-] ships transferred by Li Yuande, the cost of this kind of sailing boats is high, and even Fu Ruifeng, who is rich and powerful, can only use them on some major routes. A high class cargo ship.Transferring ten ships in one go will more or less affect the normal operation of Fu Ruifeng, which can be regarded as a cost of money.

After Qian Tiandun disembarked, he asked Li Yuande, "Is it enough for you to rest for three days?"

Li Yuande said: "Enough is enough, but the troops need to purchase a lot of supplies when they go out on an expedition. I may not bring enough. I don't know if it will be too late to purchase locally."

Qian Tiandun said: "You don't have to worry about this. The relevant materials needed for the battle have been prepared, and the shipment can be completed within these three days. As for the specific action plan, someone from the staff department will contact you later."

Li Yuande said: "Then there is no problem. I will be ready for the expedition when I come here. Your lord can just give orders."

Qian Tiandun patted Li Yuande on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Okay! Then it's settled, and we will leave in three days!"
