With such a large investment, you can imagine how much pressure Li Er had on him. Although the submarine matter was initially pushed forward vigorously by himself with the authority of the emperor.
Especially the founding king who fought in person and made great military achievements in the war of chasing deer. Naturally, this power is so powerful that no one can object. It seems to be nothing, not worth mentioning, and no need to discuss.
But world politics is never simple. Even with the dignity and fame of Li Erwang, it is still impossible to do things without considering the impact and calculating the results.
The simplest calculation is that if there is a problem with the submarine project, or it overturns in a war, then first of all, the astronomical amount of money and food investment from the national treasury will be wasted, except for this part.
Since this project was promoted by you, the emperor, against all opinions,
Then this project was overturned.
As the emperor, do you have to bear some consequences?
This matter immediately became extremely simple. Of course Li Er refused to bear any negative impact - only those with sick brains like this kind of thing. Coupled with the huge cost of the submarine itself, one can imagine what will happen next.
.
This does not mean that it is impossible to withstand the failure of such a project, but just like a person will not die even if his leg is broken, normal people will not take a hammer to their own legs for fun.
With these two heavy premises, it is conceivable that Li Er is not only under a lot of pressure, but also because these are extremely realistic problems that will appear immediately after problems occur, it is not possible to rely on psychological quality to calm down.
One can imagine how excited Li Er was when he received the letter from the chamberlain!
This feeling is simply not so sour.
After finishing reading, Li Er couldn't help but smile, because of course the information in the letter must be clearly stated at the beginning - the format and etiquette, and this part of the content is of course about the Forbidden Army.
The result of the action.
After some analysis, it turned out that because the opponent was on the move at sea this time, the Forbidden Army's submarine was naturally on the move.
It is not as simple as a sneak attack on a ship docked in the port. You can directly and quietly touch it. You can use the stealth advantage of the submarine to deploy explosives very calmly, causing the opponent's ships to burst into flames. At sea, the ship is in a sailing state. In this state, any
There are many crew members on the ship staring at the sea. It is not easy to approach quietly.
In this case, we can only use the "human torpedo" that Wang Jing and others observed. Since it is a human torpedo, it is naturally impossible for such a troublesome thing to be output in large quantities at the same time. Then again, it is necessary to destroy seven of them at once.
With more than a dozen ships, such a combat operation was not easy even in the World War II era. The only ones that could easily accomplish this, except for the extremely large battleships, were the new destroyers of various countries, especially China.
Therefore, the combat effect, at least in terms of pre-calculations and expectations, whether Li Er, the instigator, or his subordinates such as clouds of counselors and fierce generals, are basically not very optimistic about this military operation, or in other words, they are not very optimistic about this military operation.
We don’t expect this operation to completely annihilate the opponent, or to achieve relatively large results, such as destroying more than thirty warships of the opponent in one go.
Of course, if the Tang Dynasty really attacked with all its strength, it could still annihilate the opponent - it could be done without even leaving a single ship, but that would be too much of a mobilization of troops, and the main purpose of Li Er's order to launch this military operation...
Or the submarine itself.
Try to figure out how to use submarines as much as possible, and then deploy them flexibly. At the same time, only submarines are used to attack. Although it is not as shocking as directly launching a steel battleship to bombard it, the effect is obviously better than that of a steel battleship.
When engaging in things like deterrence, everything should be considered in absolute terms. As the saying goes, if you are too violent, you will risk your life. Because compared to a direct physical conflict, the scale can actually be large or small.
Deterrence operations must be based on the highest combat effectiveness. As long as you can't win in a life-and-death battle, then all deterrence is useless. The reason why the "Sword Holder" clips in later literary and artistic works are thrilling is precisely because in the most extreme
In the game scenario, even the crazy character of the decision-maker will become one of the factors in the assessment of force. This crazy fact not only exists in history, but also exists very secretly and widely.
Therefore, this military operation was designed from the beginning not to have much results.
The real result of this battle design is to create terror and spread panic!
As for who to spread panic to, for Li Er's character, the underlying rules of this world have always been simple. Whatever you give me, I will give you.
When the people bow to me, I will give them economic growth and increase in factors, and since pirates have come to my territory to spread terror.
If you spread terror to me, of course I will terrorize you in return and will never participate in any bargaining.
But even though this was the truth, from the bottom of his heart, Li Er still hoped to seriously inflict serious damage on these pirates, and it would be best to kill them all directly.
After all, I am Li Er. If you owe others something, you may only need to pay back what you owe. But if you owe me, Li Er, I will not pay with my life.
It's just that Li Er is the emperor after all, so he can't do things as he pleases, especially for those who want to achieve great things. Now, of course, what Li Er needs most is not to deal with pirates. The main mission is still America.
To pass through the Americas, people need to go there. The Tang Dynasty's imperial army is definitely not enough. It needs the combination of military and civilians, and merchants must go there. Only in this way can a viable base be established and then expanded step by step. As for merchants.
Originally, Li Er used a series of large-scale measures to stimulate and guide, and even directly paid money from the treasury to fund maritime merchants going to America. However, nine out of ten things in the world were unsatisfactory because of the activities of these pirates. This idea
It's considered yellow.
As for restarting this matter, the priority of matters in America must be far higher than revenge on the pirates, even if the pirates are the culprits that have caused the current blockage of the Americas strategy.
But what Li Er didn't expect was that this military operation would take an unexpected turn. Although it was just to spread terror at the beginning and spread the strange military effects of submarines, it would be best to form something similar to a city in the vast sea.
Ghost stories like legends.
It is best to spread the rumors about the special mother more harshly, to directly create a mythological system with the ins and outs, and to directly make up some touching and pathos stories between the submarine and the mother-in-law, then the terrifying effect will be great. In this way, the Tang Dynasty
