After taking care of the usual matters, Chen Ming and Old Wu resumed their discussion about the main business.
Chen Ming straightforwardly stated his needs: "I currently need about ten Guard Level ships, which should be sufficient to sustain resources for around three months, without needing to account for the crew."
"That's not too many, right, Old Wu? Can you calculate that?"
"Are you underestimating me?"
Old Wu rattled off a list of the resources needed for the ships, including weapons and ammunition, logistical supplies, fuel consumption, and the maintenance needs of all the ships.
Chen Ming had a rough estimate in mind before asking the question, and he generally agreed with Old Wu's calculations, only having a minor query to address.
"We can make some adjustments with the weapons and ammunition. If we can directly purchase the raw materials for some of the ammunition, we could save a bit."
