Chapter 552 Reorganization of the Army and Expansion

After returning to the Lord's Mansion on Black Rock Island to rest for the night, Zhao Hu called Han Lei, Zheng Haoran, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, Cheng Zhiming and other core members staying on Black Rock Island to the Council Hall of the Lord's Mansion to inquire about the construction progress of Black Rock Island.

From Han Lei, Zheng Haoran, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, and Cheng Zhiming, he learned that the construction of Black Rock Island was going well, and that it was going a little faster than the original plan, Zhao Hu showed a satisfied smile on his face.

However, although the construction of Black Rock Island is progressing smoothly, Zhao Hu is a little dissatisfied and does not want to spend ten years to complete the task of clearing base No. 16. Therefore, Zhao Hu plans to revise the construction plan and speed up the construction process.

However, Zhao Hu's original construction plan was based on the actual situation of Heiyan Island. If the construction plan is modified without authorization, it will affect the construction process and quality of Heiyan Island, which Zhao Hu is unwilling to accept.

In order to speed up the construction and not affect the quality of the construction, Zhao Hu is going to expand outwards, bring the islands and sea areas around Heiyan Island under his control, and wantonly plunder the population and materials on the surrounding sea areas and islands. Enrich Black Rock Island to speed up the construction process of Black Rock Island.

Zhao Hu believes that only with sufficient population and materials, the construction process of Black Rock Island will be accelerated a lot. How much it will speed up depends on how much Zhao Hu can increase the input of people and materials for Black Rock Island.

After making a decision in his mind, Zhao Hu directly revised the construction plan, letting Han Lei, Zheng Haoran, He Zhiyong, Li Zhijie, Cheng Zhiming and others build Heiyan Island according to the new plan, while he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the process of reorganizing the army , to make final preparations for external expansion.

At this time, the slaves that Zhao Hu bought from Wang's slave shop had arrived at Heiyan Island, and were placed in the military camp on Heiyan Island by Zhao Hu.

The Black Rock Army under Zhao Hu's command has 10 people, including 18 (elite) sixth-level fighters, 3000 fifth-level fighters, more than 1 fourth-level fighters, and more than [-] third-level fighters.

Now Zhao Hu bought [-] level [-] fighters, [-] level [-] fighters, [-] level [-] fighters from Wang's slave shop, and recruited hundreds of thousands of level [-], [-], and [-] fighters from Black Rock Island, making the number of the Black Rock Army expand smoothly. to millions.

Of course, the army of one million cannot be simply referred to as the Black Rock Army!Zhao Hu divided the army of one million into three parts, among which the army of one hundred thousand was used as the Black Rock Island Navy, and he gave ten light battleships at sea, one hundred cruisers at sea, and one thousand thunderships at sea to the one hundred thousand navy to maintain the maritime security of Black Rock Island .

Ten sea light battleships, a hundred sea cruisers, and a thousand sea thunder ships, although they are only a small part of the sea warships purchased by Zhao Hu, they are extremely powerful and can completely dominate the waters around Heiyan Island.

In fact, Zhao Hu also wanted to provide more warships for the navy, but the number of the navy is too small, and there is no way to control more warships. He can only wait for the expansion of the navy in the future to give the navy some more warships.

The [-] Navy was named by Zhao Hu as the First Fleet of the Navy. It has a light battleship at sea, a hundred cruisers at sea, and a thousand thunder ships at sea. The sea base will concentrate the manpower and material resources on Black Rock Island. Construction is complete.

After reorganizing the navy, Zhao Hu drew 10 people from the army of one million as the Black Rock Island Air Force, gifted ten light battleships, a hundred cruisers, and a thousand thunderships, and named it the First Division of the Black Rock Island Air Force.

The remaining 80 troops were reorganized by Zhao Hu into eight land divisions, which were called the Army's First Division, Second Division,,,, and Eighth Division, and were given corresponding transport fleets and escort fleets.

The reorganization of a million-strong army is not a simple matter, it is very cumbersome and wasteful, and it took Zhao Hu a full two weeks to successfully reorganize a million-strong army.

However, the army of millions at this time has not experienced any battles, and its combat effectiveness is not very strong. It needs some opponents to hone, enhance the combat effectiveness and confidence of the army, and train the soldiers so that they can cooperate better and exert greater combat effectiveness. .

Because the naval sea base has not yet been completed, it is convenient for Zhao Hu to immediately expand the expedition, and let the million-strong army, under the leadership of officers at all levels, conduct drills and make final preparations for the expedition.

At the same time, Zhao Hu summoned Zhao Xin and the six sixth-level warrior guards and eighteen fifth-level warrior guards auctioned in the imperial capital to his side, and gave him an upgrade fruit, so that the strength of Zhao Xin and these warrior guards increased by one level. , It also allowed Zhao Hu to have seven seventh-level fighters and eighteen sixth-level fighters under his command.

These seven seventh-level fighters and eighteen sixth-level fighters, Zhao Hu did not release them, but stayed by his side, as his own guards, to protect his own safety, and when necessary, as an assault team, attack the enemy Make a fatal blow.

In order to improve the strength of Xin Zhao and more than 20 other guards, Zhao Hu took out more than 20 flame fruits and ice fruits after Zhao Xin and more than 20 other guards had improved their strength to a higher level, and let Zhao Xin and more than [-] guards casually choose.

In the end, Xin Zhao chose the Flame Fruit. Most of the other 20 guards chose the Flame Fruit, and the lesser half chose the Ice Fruit.

Time passed quickly like running water, and in the blink of an eye, two weeks passed. The Black Rock Island Sea Base was successfully completed, and the port and wharf began to be built along the coast of Black Rock Island.

At the same time, after two weeks of training, the army of one million has been tempered to a certain extent. The cooperation among the soldiers has become much more harmonious. Xin Zhao and more than 20 guards have also successfully mastered the flame fighting energy and ice fighting energy in their bodies , strength and combat effectiveness have been greatly improved.

At this time, the preparations for external expansion have all been completed, so Zhao Hu did not hesitate to let the [-] navy keep Black Rock Island to protect the safety of Black Rock Island, and expand to the waters near Heiyan Island, and the small islands near Heiyan Island Capture all, and build ports and docks on suitable small islands to facilitate the docking of naval fleets.

Zhao Hu, on the other hand, led an air force of 80 troops and an army of [-] troops, flew into the clouds on battleships and transport ships, and headed for Cuiyun Island thousands of miles away from Heiyan Island.

Cuiyun Island is located more than 6000 miles away from Heiyan Island, and its area is ten times that of Heiyan Island. There are many plains and hills, fertile land, dense forests, a large population, and extremely rich resources.

Because Cuiyun Island has a huge area, there are no powerful holy-level fighters, nor ninth-level fighters, only a handful of eighth-level fighters and a small number of seventh-level fighters, so Cuiyun Island does not have a unified regime, and it is ruled by large and small Hundreds of countries are divided and occupied, and the chaos is extremely chaotic.

The warships and transport ships that Zhao Hu purchased were military supplies of the Ultron Empire, and they flew very fast. In just a few hours, Zhao Hu led the Black Rock Island Air Force and Army, successfully entered the sky above Cuiyun Island, and Slowly landed down.

Zhao Hu's goal this time is very simple, that is, the population and resources of Cuiyun Island. As for the land, Zhao Hu doesn't care much, because Zhao Hu doesn't need the land of Cuiyun Island for the time being, and the land of Heiyan Island is enough for him to use.

The arrival of the huge fleet alarmed the local residents of Cuiyun Island immediately, and spread the news quickly.

However, Zhao Hu's army moved very quickly. The news of the fleet's arrival had just reached the ears of the local lord. The 80 troops under Zhao Hu's command had already emerged from the transport ships and expanded around in units of divisions. .

The [-]th Army under Zhao Hu's command is well-equipped and their personal combat power is strong. The local residents and soldiers on Cuiyun Island are not opponents at all. They can only surrender helplessly or be ruthlessly killed.

In just one day, the 80 army under Zhao Hu's command easily captured dozens of cities within a radius of thousands of miles, capturing a large amount of wealth and population.

In order to accomplish his expected goal, Zhao Hu did not let the 80 army under his command continue to expand, but let the 80 army maintain the law and order and stability of the occupied city, and recruited manpower from the captured soldiers to form a servant army to assist The Black Rock Army confiscated all kinds of materials, wealth and population that captured the city.

Facing the incomparably powerful Heiyan army, a large number of captured soldiers fell into Zhao Hu's arms and became a member of the servant army. Under Zhao Hu's will, they began to confiscate the material wealth and population in the city, and Escort it to a large transport ship.

Dozens of cities and affiliated small towns and villages have millions of people and massive material wealth. It will take a lot of time and energy to transport them all away.

Seeing this situation, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, Zhao Hu immediately gave up a large amount of common materials, and took the lead in transporting the population and rare materials back to Black Rock Island to increase the population, materials and heritage of Black Rock Island, and speed up the construction process of Black Rock Island.

While Zhao Hu was busy transferring wealth and population, the emperor of the Qiuyun Empire, to which Zhao Hu occupied the city, also got news that Zhao Hu had captured dozens of cities, and immediately called a meeting of ministers to discuss how to deal with Zhao Hu, the intruder.

Although the Qiuyun Empire is not the most powerful empire on Cuiyun Island, it is not an ordinary small country on Cuiyun Island, but the tenth largest empire, with hundreds of millions of people, tens of millions of troops, emperors and ministers They all have a very strong arrogance.

As soon as they heard that someone was invading the empire, the emperor and ministers of the empire did not hesitate at all. Without getting any accurate information, they only held a small meeting and mobilized millions of troops to rush to the place where Zhao Hu was. past.
