Chapter 761: Three Seventy-Two: Facing death, Tuli Yang!
South Sea of Tianshui City!
The Suo fleet had been conducting live-action drills here for over half a month, with only about ten days left before the outbreak of a major battle.
Yet the entire exercise was still going on fiercely.
In these half a month, they had used up six figures’ worth of shells, most of which were non-recoverable, so it was like pouring Gold Coins into the sea every day.
Only super tycoons like Suo Lun could afford such a war.
Moreover, the trade blockade on the Suo family’s shipping by the Yan Mo had lasted for over twenty days, and Suo Lun’s financial resources were beginning to tighten.
If they were to be defeated in the battle in just over ten days, the entire development of the Suo family would face major problems.
As for the specific effects of the ten days and more of frenzied drilling, it was really hard to say.
After all, target ships are limited, and it is very difficult to simulate large-scale fleet battles. Once, Suo Lun dispatched hundreds of small boats at once to play the part of enemy ships.
But those ships were simply too small to be hit by long-distance cannons, failing to meet the purpose of the drill.
The real combat exercises over these more than ten days, at a huge cost, could only be said to familiarize the soldiers with the feeling. As for performance, it really could only be said to be at an entry level.
