Chapitre 642: Chapter 293 Naval Arrangement_3

'At most, we'll recruit people first, then squeeze them onto each ship, and train the five water armies. With enough hands, we can slowly add ships every year and treat it as accumulating veteran soldiers.'

Chu Wei thought to himself.

Of course, Lu Yuan was not aware of his disciple's thoughts.

However, he did know some of the difficulties in expanding the navy, and knew that it was easy to recruit soldiers, but hard to find ships.

But for Lu Yuan, ships and such can be slowly supplemented. If it really doesn't work, conscripting domestic merchant ships could barely be sufficient.

The most important thing now is to fill the ranks and first gather people. They can't wait for the navy to grow slowly due to the immense pressure from Ning Country, so they must force growth in some way.

Fortunately, this kind of forced growth has little effect on the navy's foundation, and will not impact their future growth.
