By the way, the current incident originally started from Qiongzhou.
Li Er himself was immersed in thinking about a way to break the situation, but he couldn't come to a conclusion, so he was equivalent to being trapped. But now, Changle sent a maid to bring news about Li Sheng, so the matter seemed to have turned for the better.
.
Therefore, although he was still upset, Li Er couldn't help but feel that maybe the matter was not that difficult. Maybe there was some plan of Li Sheng in this matter?
Just think about it, this is a military and national event after all, so Li Er does not dare to be unreasonably confident and blindly complacent. In other words, Li Er will not be optimistic about things just because he is optimistic about himself and the qualifications of the people of China. He should worry when he should.
worry.
It's the same now.
What Li Er didn't expect was that when he had just calmed down from the excitement and sincerely thought that many things were not that simple, Xiaofeng would actually report the new situation.
There is not much magic about this new situation, but it actually solves the dilemma.
Li Er's eyes could not help but slowly widen in shock, becoming dull and frozen.
"I see."
"The land of China has outstanding people, perhaps it should be said that they are."
Following the report from the palace maid Xiaofeng, Li Er gradually came to a realization.
Speaking of China, although China has been praised by its own people as being very good and powerful since ancient times and getting what it wants in every aspect, from a strategic perspective, it is actually not very good.
The north is flat enough and has enough cultivated land, but the climate is extremely cold.
Although the climate in the south is warmer, it is also mountainous and has very little land suitable for farming.
Of course, the climate is good and there are not many mountains. That is the heart of China.
But overall, there are still too few such places. For the entire huge territory of China, the scale of the Heluo Plain is not enough.
In other places, as mentioned above, there are basically various flaws of this kind, making it very difficult to develop.
However, this kind of difficulty is relative. Although China is more difficult, it is not so difficult that people have to starve to death at every turn.
The two combined, if it is in a relatively small area, may often only lead to disaster, but China is very large after all.
The effect of these things is very unique. Over time, this environment shaped the tenacity and hardship of the Chinese people, and eventually created a great empire, or in other words, formed the core essence of many generations of great empires.
And the current situation,
Although, even though things haven't started yet, nothing has happened yet, but after listening to Xiaofeng's report, Li Er began to feel something vaguely in his heart.
I am currently at a historical trend point, and the world is about to undergo new changes.
And this kind of thing has always been the case since ancient times. Those who are the first to adapt to changes or even lead changes can conquer the world, and the opposite is to stand out and be ruined.
Now, Datang was undoubtedly stuck on this point. When Xiaofeng said this, Li Er immediately realized that this was it.
Nothing else, this is it!
In terms of the current strategic situation of the Tang Dynasty against Rome, because the Tang Dynasty is the attacker, the front line is naturally farther away, and the consumption of national power is naturally greater. Even if the Tang Dynasty now has such a useful thing as the steam train, this consumption
Still, Datang's treasury gradually began to feel overwhelmed.
This is a series of dilemmas that Datang is currently encountering. As the essence beneath the surface, these dilemmas are the "meta-dilemma" that Datang is facing.
And because of the existence of such a meta-dilemma, the current situation of the Tang Dynasty is very delicate. It is obvious that the national power of the Tang Dynasty is better than that of the Romans, but it is difficult to make any progress in the strategy of America and Australia.
Of course, the reason here is that the Romans themselves were powerful enough and were different from other barbarian countries, but overall, the reason for the predicament was distance.
Therefore, Li Er's level is not comparable to that of ordinary heroes, and his understanding of the situation can be said to be extremely clear and insightful.
And vaguely, it seemed that it was precisely because of this insight that Li Er was very anxious, and he couldn't think of any good solution after much thought.
After all, the Americas and Australia are too far away, and the strongest transportation capacity and the strongest means of transshipment that China can now provide are steam trains, and steam trains.
No matter how powerful this thing is, it can't run in water, can it? As for another steam-powered transportation method, it can take the sea route, but no matter how powerful the steam power is, the dangers of the ocean will still add many restrictions.
At this time, Datang's pace gradually became more and more unstoppable.
However, Xiaofeng's report, Li Er felt that it was like clearing the air. Yes, it is indeed impossible for Datang to suddenly significantly improve its transportation capacity in a short period of time, whether it is in the direction of America or Australia.
It is hard to say that Tangdu can really effectively increase investment in strategy.
Just as Xiaofeng reported, just like the strategy Li Sheng came up with, Datang can only attack one of the directions first. This is certainly feasible, but for a large extraordinary empire like China, such a result is obvious.
It is very unpleasant and unacceptable.
Since it is an empire, how can we not want them all?
At this time, the value of awesome ideas becomes apparent.
Although this approach of leaving one side alone and focusing on attacking the other side seems very flawed, it can really be followed, because, as mentioned above, the Tang Dynasty and the Romans are still different after all, and the people of China are after all more able to endure hardships.
Be better at farming.
This advantage is often difficult to use even for a short period of time. This is another main reason why Li Er feels so anxious about things. After all, there is a saying that far water cannot quench near thirst, but,
Selective attack all the way, in addition to the problem of focusing on one at the expense of the other, it also has the possibility of utilizing China's long-term advantages. In short.
According to what Xiaofeng reported, that is, Li Sheng's thinking, although the Tang Dynasty still looked at one thing and neglected the other, the Romans also looked at one thing and neglected the other. And at the same time, synchronizing and mirroring each other, the Tang Dynasty
But Bian is better able to take advantage of the changes in the situation caused by focusing on one thing and losing another.
That is, territorial gains! As a result, changes in advantages and disadvantages that did not seem to exist in theory appeared. This is equivalent to dividing the game into two rounds.
