[It's very expensive? How expensive is it?] Yang Hong asked.&& {}

Li Jing explained: [Of course, Commander, a conventional-class warship costs at least 500,000 yuan in crystals, which has not added firepower ammunition.]

[Five hundred thousand yuan crystal is indeed very expensive, and there are maintenance costs and fire and ammunition costs. In this way, a warship requires at least one million yuan crystal.]

[Yes, Commander, with our current economic situation, it is difficult to purchase such a warship.]

[Don't we pay the military expenditure every year downward?]

[Commander, this matter is very complicated. After I took over, I found that the military expenditure of the Xuanjia Army had been overdrawn for several epochs. It would take at least tens of thousands of years to collect it again.]

[Ah, is that true?]

[Yes, this is how the General Staff explained. They said that the Xuanjia Army had overdrawn too much military expenditure, so most of the military expenditure has been deducted.]

[So that's the case. Do we have any other income in Xuanjia Army?] Yang Hong asked.

[Commander, yes, the eastern area where the Xuanjia Army is located is our jurisdiction area, and all the taxes and resources here belong to our Xuanjia Army.] Li Jing said.

[Is that true? So have the forces in the cities of Chentian City paid taxes to us?] Yang Hong asked.

[Commander, these forces seem to have been paying taxes before, but since the decline of the Xuanjia Army, these forces have stopped paying taxes, and the Xuanjia Army is unable to collect taxes.] Li Jing explained.

[It seems that when I have time, I want to change this situation. If this continues, it seems that our Xuanjia Army will have less and less wealth.] Yang Hong replied.

[Commander. I have to say that the power of these forces is not weak. Moreover, such forces are not only one, but also many families. Once one of them is moved, all forces will rise up and resist.] Hearing that Yang Hong wanted to move these forces, Li Jing hurriedly reminded him.

At this moment, Yang Shi suddenly replied: [Commander, the enemy has launched an attack now, we have launched a counterattack.]

[How is the situation?] Yang Hong asked.

[Commander, now we have a protective cover, so we can resist for a while, but our attack is too limited. If we don’t find a way, then we may be blasted through the defense cover by the firepower of the opponent’s warship. Once the defense cover is broken, we will be in danger.] Yang Shihui reported.

[What is the level of our Thunder Dragon?] Yang Hong asked.

[Commander, the Thunder Dragon is a Storm-class warship, but this warship is too old and has suffered severe damage.] Yang Shihui reported.

[Storm-class warship!! It's still an old-fashioned one, no wonder it's so unreliable. It seems that the purchase of warships has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.] Yang Hong sighed.

[Commander, please think twice.] Li Jing advised. Since taking charge of finance, he found that the consumption of the Xuanjia Army was too great, and it required tens of thousands of Yuan crystals every day.

[Okay, this matter is settled like this. Don’t persuade me anymore. I have talked about money and I will find a way.] Yang Hong replied. After saying that, he ordered directly to Yang Shi.

[Quick, all are adjusted to manual operation mode!] Yang Hong made a quick decision and issued an order to Yang Shi.

As the entire combat system moved into manual operation mode, Yang Hong came directly to the main console of the command center. He pressed the buttons like flying hands, and constantly issued instructions to each combat unit.

Although Yang Shi, Li Jing and the lieutenant officer have been in the army for many years and are not unfamiliar with warships, they are not good at controlling warships. They have always relied on the automatic control function of warships. When they saw Yang Hong's skillful operation, the three of them couldn't help but look surprised.

Yang Shi murmured: [Commander, I didn't expect that you could even drive a warship, but isn't automatic control better?] He doesn't understand this.

While operating the Thunder Dragon, Yang Hong said: [I only noticed it after taking over the Xuanjia Army. I was not familiar with it and could barely operate it.]

[Ah, Commander, you're still trying to operate it, this is a very first-class operation.] Li Jing said.

[Commander, I have seen first-class warship operators with my own eyes, and they are not as familiar to you.] Yang Shi echoed.

[Haha... I won't talk about this anymore, I'll explain to you the difference between automatic control and manual control. Although automatic control is convenient, some commands do not come manually quickly. Moreover, when automatically controlled, the main control system will avoid some abnormal commands, which is not possible at critical moments.] Yang Hong explained.

Boom boom boom boom!

Suddenly, there were bursts of violent noises outside the Thunder Dragon.

[Commander, the enemy's firepower is getting stronger and stronger. What should we do?] Yang Shi asked.

[Don't worry, I have turned on all the defense covers, changed my orientation, and avoided the battleships of the Python Dragon Army. There should be no problem.] Yang Hong gave everyone a look of relief, and then began to operate the battleships with all their hearts.

[Not good, our energy consumption is too high.] Li Jing saw the energy trough and said loudly.

After Li Jing said this, Yang Shi indeed found that a 54% sign appeared in the energy display bar on the combat screen, so he reminded Yang Hong: [Commander, there is not much energy anymore.]

[Don't worry, I won't be in trouble.] Yang Hong replied.

[Really?]

[Of course, don't worry, I won't be in trouble.]

Under Yang Hong's skillful operation, the Leilong warship began to consume high-speed energy. The energy reactor was running at an extremely fast speed, and the energy generated reached 80% in five seconds. For safety, when the energy reactor was running at an extremely fast speed, the reactor would automatically stop. However, under Yang Hong's manual control, it quickly reached a 100% operation speed. Therefore, the speed of the huge Leilong warship suddenly increased and flew down quickly to avoid the navigation trajectory of more than a dozen warships on the opposite side.

[Oh my God, the commander's operation method is really amazing. He actually operates the warship so skillfully, as if the warship is part of his body.] Yang Shi said, full of surprise.

[Yes, this kind of operation level should surpass the first-class operator. Commander, is he really a human?] Li Jing sighed.

[Mr. Li, what do you mean?] asked the lieutenant officer.

[I think the commander is a god, full of magic.] Li Jing replied, like Yang Shi, he thought Yang Hong was very unusual, just a person who could create miracles. A person who could create miracles is naturally a god, and he is no longer an ordinary person.

The gods here are not gods, but people with magical powers.
