In recent years, the three major bases have been active and have continuously dispatched additional warships to station there. Their wolfish ambitions have become obvious.
In this regard, Jiang Cheng also collected some relevant information through the intelligence system of the Tropico APP.
Of course, all this information is only time-sensitive and has only some reference value. It is not enough for him to make wartime decisions. Even so, Jiang Cheng is very satisfied.
Among the three major bases, the one that poses the greatest threat to Jiang Cheng is the Hachimiya Island base which is closest to him.
The Hachinomiya Island Base is the second largest base in the country. It is located in Kanaya Bay on Hachinomiya Island. It has a fleet headquarters and is under the jurisdiction of the Third and Sixth Combined Fleets.
Among them, the Third Combined Fleet is the most powerful, with four "Nagato-class" giant heavy-armored aircraft carriers, with a full load displacement of up to 47,000 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, 90 carrier-based aircraft, and a crew of 3,000 people.
The "Nagato-class" aircraft carrier, built by the famous Japanese shipyard, Kawai Heavy Industries, is one of the most advanced combat aircraft carriers currently available. It is in the world's leading position in terms of tonnage, speed, firepower and other aspects.
In addition, this type of aircraft carrier is also equipped with a variety of advanced fighters such as Zero fighters, Type 99 dive bombers, Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft, etc. Its long-range attack capability is very outstanding, and it is a "mobile sea turret" that scares all opponents.
The number of other types of battleships, destroyers, and cruisers of the Third Combined Fleet also reached more than 50, making it a veritable super invincible fleet!
The Third Combined Fleet was the spearhead force of the country that penetrated deep into the Pacific Ocean. It made great military achievements for the country, captured many precious islands and reefs, and greatly expanded the country's sphere of influence. It can be said to be the most prestigious super fleet of the country!
However, the Third Combined Fleet cruises in the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean all year round, carrying out island-searching missions and rarely returns to the Hachimiya Island base. It also has an overseas base dedicated to providing supplies in the deep sea.
Therefore, the only fleet actually stationed at the Hachinomiyajima base was the Sixth Combined Fleet.
The Sixth Combined Fleet, also known as the "Southern Expedition Fleet", was a new fleet newly established by the Republic of China. It was responsible for the territorial development of the southwestern border and also performed some near-shore patrol missions.
As Yan State has increased its ocean-going activities in recent years, it has gained another use - monitoring the movements of Yan State's expeditionary fleet.
Against this background, the Sixth Fleet has continued to recruit and expand its forces in recent years, greatly improving both the size of the fleet and the firepower of its warships.
Currently, the fleet has two medium-sized new aircraft carriers, namely "Chitose" and "Unryuu", with a full load displacement of 3.8 tons and a maximum speed of 34 knots. They carry 65 various types of fighters, including Zero fighters and Type 99 dive bombers.
Under its banner, there are 4 new battleships that have just been commissioned, 6 destroyers, 12 frigates, and more than 30 other types of attack ships.
In short, this is a new fleet of very large scale and super combat effectiveness. It is also a behemoth in the whole of Asia. At certain times, it is even capable of carrying out important ocean-going missions, which shows how powerful this fleet is.
Not to mention the Third Combined Fleet which will return someday, the Sixth Combined Fleet alone is enough to crush all Asian countries, not to mention Jiang Cheng, the commander alone!
Even if Jiang Cheng works hard now to develop military industry and build new warships, he will not be able to catch up in a short period of time.
For Jiang Cheng, he still has a very long way to go, and the road ahead is long and bumpy.
In addition to the Hachimiya Island base, the other two bases are also enough to give Jiang Cheng a headache.
Although the overall strength of the Subic Bay Port in the Philippines is much weaker than that of the Hachimiya Island Base, it cannot be ignored.
Subic Bay is located in the southwest of Luzon Island in the Philippines, only 80 kilometers away from the capital Manila. It is an important gateway to the entire country. Therefore, the Philippines attaches great importance to the construction of Subic Bay Port.
At present, the most powerful Northern Fleet is stationed here, implementing a defensive strategy. Although there is no aircraft carrier organization, there are four heavy battleships purchased from Magnesia with extraordinary firepower. There are also more than 20 other types of attack ships.
Regardless of anything else, those four heavy battleships alone are enough to intimidate any opponent!
Finally, there is the Magali Pacific Base on Taro Island.
Although the Tarot Island Base is the farthest from Emerald Island, it is the most powerful of the three bases.
The base is equipped with modern docks, airports, submarine home ports and other large-scale military facilities. It is Magnesia's frontier strategic position in the sea and air in the Western Pacific. It is home to Magnesia's Seventh Fleet, which has more than five aircraft carriers alone, making it an invincible force that is unstoppable!
In terms of ship tonnage alone, even the combined Third and Sixth Fleets of the United States cannot match it, which shows the powerful energy this fleet possesses!
Fortunately, the Tarot Island base is far enough away from the Emerald Island, otherwise Jiang Cheng would really be unable to sleep or eat.
When Jiang Cheng realized that there was a huge gap between himself and his future opponent, he felt truly terrified.
The combined power of the three bases is truly frightening!
Leaving aside the Philippines, the United States has been secretly implementing its policies in recent years and has frequently launched disputes in the eastern region. It has plundered a huge amount of astonishing wealth through plundering, and its economic strength has been unprecedentedly enhanced. Its combat strength has also risen accordingly, and it even has the strength to challenge the former Pacific overlord.
However, as old powers in Australia, such as Portugal and Spain, also intensified their competition for the islands, this made Japan and Mexico, which are located on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, feel uncomfortable. They had to temporarily put aside their conflicts and unite to jointly respond to the challenges of these old powers.
However, Jiang Cheng had no doubt that once the remaining islands were divided up, an ultimate battle would break out between the two overlords.
The saying "there can't be two tigers in one mountain" is exactly this truth!
By then, the Emerald Island within the range would inevitably be stuck in the throats of the two major countries like a fishbone. How could they bear it
Once the battle starts, Jiang Cheng will undoubtedly be involved.
In front of these future super opponents, Jiang Cheng is now like an unarmed baby, with no power to fight back and can only be slaughtered!
Time is running out. Jiang Cheng must develop Emerald Island in a short period of time and seize enough wealth to build a powerful fleet that is not afraid of any opponent. Perhaps only in this way can he avoid suffering a devastating blow in the future!
