The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

After obtaining Long Fei's consent, Xiao Baibai immediately told him about the various types and quantities of warships that would be awarded as rewards.

"Brother Long, since you've agreed, I'll tell you now which ships you can be rewarded with."

"Ten 50,000-ton-class battleships, eight 6,000-ton-class guided-missile destroyers, four 3,000-ton-class conventional submarines, and two 10,000-ton-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines."

"In addition, there are six minesweepers of 1,000 tons each, two supply ships of 40,000 tons each, fifty landing craft of 600 tons each, twenty missile boats of 250 tons each, and ten roll-on/roll-off ships of 30,000 tons each..."

Upon hearing this, Long Fei interrupted, "Why are you giving me a roll-on/roll-off ship? Is this thing a warship?"

"Brother Long, don't rush, let me explain. This kind of roll-on/roll-off ship can carry five or six thousand soldiers at a time, plus a hundred tanks or other weapons and equipment."

"Ten roll-on/roll-off ships can transport ten brigades of troops at once, which is much larger than the carrying capacity of a large landing ship."

"Also, if you don't want roll-on/roll-off ships and want large landing ships in return, we'll give you a maximum of two. You can decide for yourself."

After thinking it over, Long Fei decided that a roll-on/roll-off ship was the most practical option and immediately agreed.

Xiao Bai continued, "I know that the two islands you bought don't have fresh water resources, and I also know that you feel the existing islands are not big enough."

"Therefore, I am giving you a large-scale freshwater treatment plant as a special reward. The freshwater it treats every day is enough for 10,000 people."

"In addition, I will provide you with a rainwater collection and treatment system, plus a 10,000-ton sand dredging vessel. This vessel can build an island of nearly one square kilometer in a month."

Finally, Xiaobai summarized: "Brother Long, the warships I've provided are enough for you to establish eastern and southern fleets. With the addition of air power, you can sweep through the fleets of all other countries."

Long Fei said with satisfaction, "Alright, that's fine for now. I'll get better ones when I reach the Supreme level. Oh, and don't forget to send me all sorts of quick-learning training cards."

"Don't worry, I won't forget. Three months from now, it will be springtime. I'll be waiting for you to land in Japan and take me to Mount Fushimi to see the cherry blossoms."

"What a loser. What's so great about cherry blossoms? I'm going to set off fireworks on the top of the Undying Mountain."

"Haha, Brother Long, that's a great idea."

With the naval vessels secured, the immediate priority is to quickly establish the navy and then develop combat capability as soon as possible.

So Long Fei immediately summoned Xie Qiang and asked him to take the selected naval officers and soldiers to Qingdao and begin training immediately.

After Xie Qiang arrived, Long Fei immediately moved all the ships rewarded by the system to Xie Qiang's subsystem warehouse.

Seeing so many ships in the system's warehouse, Xie Qiang could no longer contain his excitement.

"Damn, Commander Long, so many warships, including missile destroyers and nuclear submarines, I'm rich now."

Long Fei tossed Xie Qiang a cigarette and deliberately gave him a stern lecture.

"Commander Xie, you are now the Navy Commander. Can you please be a little more composed and stop making such a fuss?"

Xie Qiang scratched his head: "Oh dear, Commander Long, I'm usually very serious, but I couldn't control myself in front of you."

"I'm not some kind of beauty that you can't resist."

"Hehehe..." Xie Qiang chuckled foolishly.

After the two lit cigarettes, Long Fei began to confess.

"Make preparations and take your naval officers and men to Qingdao as soon as possible. Then start training immediately. I originally planned to attack the Japanese mainland three months later."

"However, I have a new idea now, so I'll give you a maximum of two months to develop your fighting force."

Xie Qiang quickly stood at attention and said, "Commander Long, don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission. But may I ask what your new idea is?"

There's nothing to hide from Xie Qianglongfei. Besides, telling him will give him peace of mind and allow him to prepare in advance.

"My plan is to first cut off the Japanese troops' sea escape route in Central China, so that they have no chance of escaping back to their homeland, and then wipe them out."

"Next, I will take over the Korean Peninsula and wipe out the Japanese devils there."

"I did the math, and the Japanese soldiers in Central China and Korea combined are enough to upgrade the War God System to the Supreme level."

Xie Qiang was a smart man, and he immediately understood Long Fei's ultimate intention.

"Commander Long, I remember you mentioned to me before that only those who reach the Supreme level are eligible to receive the system reward of a big sweet potato. Are you planning to launch a peace mission against Japan?"

Long Fei snapped his fingers casually: "Perfect! That's exactly what I was thinking. The Japanese locusts and their warmongers at their headquarters won't surrender easily, so we have to use our trump card."

"Furthermore, I don't want my brothers to go to Japan and fight against millions of Japanese troops on the Japanese mainland. Even if we have the upper hand, it will be difficult to avoid casualties."

Xie Qiang nodded in agreement, saying, "Commander Long, I completely agree with your idea. Besides, the Japanese people tightened their belts and fully supported the country's war of aggression, so there are no innocent souls under the sweet potato."

Long Fei was surprised that Xie Qiang had this kind of insight, and smiled approvingly.

"Well said. Your navy will be the main focus from now on, so don't let us down. Also, I think all the warships should be named after dragons, and their hull numbers should start from 16."

Xie Qiang replied solemnly, "Commander Long, please rest assured, I, Xie Qiang, will absolutely not fail in my mission."

"Also, I know what you're thinking, just like how the Liaoning's hull number is sixteen."

Long Fei then walked to the window, gazed into the distance, and said with grief and indignation.

"The Beiyang Fleet was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and the once-powerful navy declined from then on."

"The fifteen ironclad warships, namely Zhendong, Zhenxi, Zhennan, Zhenbei, Zhenzhong, Zhenbian, Zhenhai, Dingyuan, Zhenyuan, Jingyuan, Laiyuan, Zhiyuan, Jingyuan, Jiyuan, and Pingyuan, were once known as the Seven Towns and Eight Fars, but they have also withdrawn from the stage of history."

"We must remember this humiliating history. Therefore, starting from number sixteen, our navy will forever dedicate the first fifteen numbers to the tragic Beiyang Fleet in order to commemorate and remember them."

"Commander Long, well said. In addition to the hull number, we must also destroy the Japanese navy to comfort the sacrificed predecessors of the Beiyang Fleet."

After the two calmed down a bit, Xie Qiang couldn't help but ask.

"Commander Long, you just said that our warships are all named after dragons, but I can't think of that many dragons."

Long Fei looked at Xie Qiang, feeling both annoyed and amused.

"The flagship is these two missile destroyers. I suggest naming them Dragon King and Dragon Sovereign, meaning supreme king."

"Great, this name sounds impressive, I like it." Xie Qiang immediately gave a thumbs up in praise.

"You can handle the rest of the warships. I'll tell you which ones have the character 'dragon' in their names, and you'd better remember them."

"Wait, let me get a pen and paper." Xie Qiang quickly strode to the table, picked up the pen and paper, and began to take notes.

Long Fei chuckled: "Remember these: Dragon's Roar, Dragon's Ascent, Dragon's Howl, Dragon's Scales, Dragon's Spine, Dragon's Might, Dragon's Abyss, Dragon's Fang, Dragon's Lurk, Dragon's Cry, Dragon's Rise, Dragon's Wings."

"Hidden Dragon, Divine Dragon, Golden Dragon, Heavenly Dragon, Black Dragon, Azure Dragon, Demon Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Ying Dragon, Fire Dragon, Lone Dragon, Candle Dragon, White Dragon, Crouching Dragon, Cloud Dragon, Riding Dragon, Coiled Dragon, Sword Dragon, Kui Dragon, Kui Dragon, Jade Dragon, Red Dragon, Kang Dragon, Azure Dragon, Qian Dragon, Shining Dragon, Leaping Dragon."

After Xie Qiang finished taking notes, he looked up at Long Fei and said weakly.

"Commander Long, how did you come up with so many dragons? Oh right, you seem to have forgotten two, I have to add them: Long Fei and Commander Long."
