Xun Qi's teeth were extremely sour when he heard this, but he could not continue to argue. He could only look at Meng Kangbu. Although he knew very well in his heart that there was nothing more to say. Zhu Helai said everything that needed to be said. Meng Kangbu
Bu could no longer refuse.
In a war between countries, when one is weaker than the opponent in all aspects, it will inevitably lose. As long as there is still an advantage, no matter how slim the hope is, the possibility of victory still exists.
Just like Sun Er and Wei Shuang, in the circle of sixth and seventh level smelting, many people have the possibility of defeating Sun Er. No matter how slim this possibility is, you can always win after a hundred or eighty games.
From a few to dozens of games, only Wei Shuang could not beat Sun Er no matter what, no matter how many times he fought, he would lose.
But in fact, when Wei Shuang fights other people, even those who are six or seven levels of smelting who can fight against Sun Er, in one hundred and eighty games, he can always win dozens of games, even if some of them can win against Sun Er.
My dear brother, when he meets Wei Shuang, he may not be angry on the spot.
But here comes the problem. Wei Shuang has never defeated Sun Er, the kind who can't beat him life or death. Ordinarily, Lian Xiao, a sixth-level smelter, can always seize the opportunity when facing Sun Er in 180 games.
He won a few to more than a dozen games, but Wei Shuangshi's seven-level smelting never won a single victory. This was not a question of letting go or not.
To put it bluntly, isn't it because Sun Er happens to be a large-sized Wei Shuang, and every point is slightly better than the current Wei Shuang. As a result, Wei Shuang cannot fully display his strength and is defeated. When others face Sun Er, even if
There are dozens of weak points, but there are more or less advantages that Sun Er does not have.
Relying on these advantages, these people can challenge Sun Er in a one-on-one challenge. As long as they seize the opportunity, they still have the possibility of winning. However, Wei Shuang, known as Xiao Sun Er, happens to be weaker than Sun Er in every point. Of course, if he beats others, he will not win.
It's also clean and tidy, but it can't beat Sun Er.
From a certain perspective, the talent of the decathlon is really a trap. It is stable. But if you choose this path, you will really encounter opponents who are completely unbeatable. It is simply a scam. From a certain perspective, this talent is,
He was really crushed by General Wei.
The war between the Kushan Empire and the Han Dynasty actually conforms to this logic. Over the years, the Kushan Empire has been knocked off its advantages one by one by the Han Dynasty. Now there are not many advantages left, and the navy
It is almost the only advantage the Kushan Empire can take advantage of at present.
However, as long as Zhou Yu lives, the only advantage that the Kushan Empire can take will turn into a disadvantage sooner or later. Mengkangbu is at his peak, but Zhou Yu has just entered his peak in the past few years, and the latter is obviously stronger than the former.
, what this means is self-evident.
Therefore, now that there is such an opportunity, from the standpoint of the Kushan Empire, it is basically impossible to give up. Regardless of whether Zhou Yu is dead or not, if we seize the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and destroy the Han Dynasty's navy, the Kushan Empire will have more time.
More energy to deal with the next decisive battle.
"It's not because Zhou Yu is dead, but just because no matter what Zhou Yu does, the current chaos in Sumatra cannot be eliminated?" Xun Qi looked at Mengkangbu with a sigh. At this point, is Zhou Yu dead?
, in fact, it is not very important. What is important is that this is indeed an opportunity, at least it is an opportunity that can be exploited.
"Mengkangbu, don't speak yet." Just when Mengkangbu opened his mouth, Xunqi stopped Mengkangbu, and then looked at Zhu Helai with sharp eyes.
"Secretary, I only ask one question." Xun Qi's face was calm, but his sharp eyes let everyone present know that Xun Qi's next question was directly related to whether Xun Qi would agree to this matter.
"Let's talk." Zhu Helai didn't think that Xun Qi was provoking trouble. Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. They must be carefully observed. Any caution at this time is okay.
"What if Zhou Yu is still alive?" Xun Qi said, putting aside all Kuishang's calculations and going directly to the core point, that is, what if Zhou Yu is still alive?
"If Zhou Yu is still alive, then now is an opportunity." Meng Kangbu sighed and said in place of Zhu He, but he was a little sad when he said this, "Because the navy of the Han Dynasty just suffered a heavy blow before.
Although we relied on the so-called East China Sea Distant Fisheries Department for replenishment, there were only the backbone and part of the navy, and most of them still had to be recruited and trained again."
The biggest difference between the navy and the army has emerged. In the army, you may be able to go to the battlefield after intensive training for more than half a year, and you may even be able to exert quite good combat effectiveness. But not in the navy. Not to mention that you only intensively train for more than half a year. You only need intensive training for a few months.
Years ago, I was just getting started.
The Han Dynasty relied on the Department of Ocean Fisheries to replenish its own navy, which indeed exceeded the expectations of Meng Combo and others. This behavior to a certain extent meant that the once fragile navigation industry of the Han Dynasty had developed rapidly in recent years. Of course,
This is only one aspect. What really makes Meng Combu feel outrageous is that the warships used by the Han Army's Ocean Fisheries Division are actually castrated versions of seventh-generation ships and sixth-generation ships.
You must know that in terms of economic efficiency, warships are completely inferior to merchant ships. Just like battleships, battleships are only tens of thousands of tons, while merchant ships are hundreds of thousands of tons. This is due to the design and positioning of the ships.
Gap between design and technical aspects.
However, the Han Dynasty directly used warships in places such as fishing where fishing boats were needed. Except for training naval soldiers to a certain extent, compared with other aspects, they were all disadvantages.
After all, the price of warships is much higher than that of merchant ships. In addition, many designs of warships are completely meaningless on merchant ships, and these are fixed costs. Then consider what level of navy can be provided by using fishing boats with this kind of warship nature.
, Meng Kangbu felt that he was losing money.
No one thinks that using a battleship as a fishing boat training can help them become a real navy. It is true that they will be better than recruits who have never been on a battleship, and after getting on the ship, they will learn much faster than new recruits, but to be completely honest
If it's qualified, then it's a lie.
After the real transfer, it still needs to be strengthened for a period of time. It can only be said that it has indeed reduced the cost of naval training to a certain extent, but the investment cost is too high.
Of course, this is for Guishang, and for Chen Xi, he is also aware of these things, but to be honest, he doesn't care much. He can accept the cost if it can speed up the formation of the navy, let alone from
The original few years were directly shortened to one or two years.
As for the difference between merchant ships and warships, that's about it. A 10,000-ton warship is enough to be used as a fishing boat these days. No matter how big it is, there won't be much marginal benefit.
"That's what I'm worried about. Now we think that the strength of the Han Dynasty Navy has not recovered, and Zhou Yu is in a state of uncertainty about death or immortality. If he is really dead, I will not consider this. Assuming that he is not dead,
Just waiting for you to rush over?" Xun Qi sighed and said, it was considered a final struggle. He did not want Mengkangbu to attack, because in his mind, Zhou Yu was already dead.
Zhou Yu was completely dead. Meng Kangbu attacked and swept the Han Dynasty's navy. After that, there was nothing left to do. Even with seven generations of ships, they could only hold on. Without a navy, even with battleships, the problem could not be solved.
"If Zhou Yu is dead, the possibility of us defeating the Han Dynasty Navy is 100%. But Zhou Yu is not dead. We have to clean up the shore defenses at several important positions. Even if we encounter Zhou Yu, given the current situation, we will not be defeated miserably.
." Zhu He came to look at Xun Qi and said, he had thought about many things very thoroughly, so he came up with the idea that this could be done.
"What we are really worried about is actually the merger of Zhou Yu and the seventh-generation ships. Before that, we actually had the ability to suppress Zhou Yu. In the naval battle in the Bay of Bengal, after we severely damaged the Han Dynasty Navy, Zhou Yu could only protect himself from shore defense.
Let's fight against Meng Kangbu." Zhu He came and told Xun Qi one by one the information he had determined, completely ending Xun Qi's argument.
"Yes, although it sounds a bit like wearing a high hat, in fact, after the last naval battle, even if Zhou Yu led the Han Dynasty navy, he directly encountered our main force at sea. With both sides fully manned, we have a greater chance of victory.
Bigger." Meng Kangbu nodded and said, if it weren't for this reason, how could Zhou Yu be stuck in Malacca and not come out.
To put it bluntly, after leaving the coastal defense area, the current Han Dynasty navy cannot defeat Kushan, so it can only choose strategic contraction first.
Xun Qi sighed and finally gave up his argument. He knew that he could no longer convince everyone present. The reasons given by Zhu Helai were very sufficient.
"Well, since you all think so, I reserve my opinion. I still have doubts about Zhou Yu's death." Xun Qi sighed and said, "Have Oswin and Helilach made a judgment? If so,
If it’s done, then vote.”
Xun Qi had no choice but to take action. It was obvious that these people were ready to take action.
"It's not that we have to take action because Zhou Yu is dead, but more directly, we can't let Zhou Yu merge with the seventh-generation ship, so after the sea trial of the seventh-generation ship, we began to think about how to prevent this. Zhou Yu's death
, it just made us further determined." Zhu Helai valued Xun Qi very much, so he explained a few more sentences.
Xun Qi nodded, but didn't say anything. He also realized this, so he realized that nothing he did was actually meaningless, because from a strategic perspective, Guishang was not moved by seeing Zhou Yu's death.
The speculation was a preemptive strike in order to maintain its own strategic advantage. Zhou Yu's death can only be said to have happened at the right time, giving Kushan a greater opportunity.
"Even if Zhou Yu is not dead, after the seventh-generation Han Dynasty ship completes the sea trial, we have to find a time to strike first." Bankim sighed and said, it is not that they Kushan wise men are too radical, but from
Realistically speaking, once Zhou Yu and the seventh-generation ship reunite, there will be no way to fight.
Generally speaking, the navy has a three-point structure, commander, vehicles, and excellent naval soldiers. The Han Dynasty previously had the advantage of commanders and vehicles, but it has not reached the crushing level. There is a gap between the soldiers and Kushan, but
The gap is not so big that we can't fight.
After Mongkhambu killed the main force of the Han Dynasty Navy in the Bay of Bengal, the three-point structure of the Han army only had the advantage of the commander, and the advantage of the vehicle required naval soldiers to be exerted. Without the naval soldiers, the carrier
The advantages of tools are no longer obvious.
This is the reason why Mengkangbu was able to hold down the Han Dynasty Navy. As the seventh-generation ship officially began sea trials, the Han Dynasty's vehicle advantage once again widened the gap with Kushan. It had an absolute advantage in command, and the carrier
Now that it has an absolute advantage, it is self-evident what Kushan should do if it wants to continue to maintain its naval superiority.
"Get rid of the naval reserves of the Han Dynasty. Even if Zhou Yu is not dead and the seventh-generation ships arrive in Malacca, the Han army still has no room for advancement, at least not in the next two years." Zhu Helai pointed to the camp where the Han Dynasty navy was stationed for training.
He spoke.
"It won't matter after two years. With Zhou Yu's seventh-generation ships and the Han Dynasty navy that has undergone two years of specialized training, even the fortress-like Ceylon Island can't withstand it. If it takes two or three years, it will reach its limit."
It's gone, and we only have so long." Bankim followed up and explained. Xun Qi and Meng Kangbu both nodded after hearing this, and the fact still needs to be admitted.
"So, now is our chance." Zhu Helai retracted his finger, looked at Meng Combo and said with great seriousness, only Meng Combo can execute this plan, others, even Zhu Helai, will risk their lives.
All the spies planted on Sumatra Island took advantage of the chaos to destroy the coastal defense guns at several important nodes and broke into the camp where the Han Dynasty navy was stationed. I am afraid they would not be able to achieve their full success.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say, let's vote now. General Oswin said that he is not good at the navy. Although strategically speaking, there is no problem with this plan, he chose to abstain. Helilach believed that since the strategic situation
At this point, it is necessary to attack the training camp of the Han Dynasty navy in the Malacca area." Bankim expressed the suggestions of the two Northern Europeans.
"I still maintain my attitude. The strategy is correct, but Zhou Yu must have had his own plan for cheating to death. The other party may not be unable to see that the period when the seventh-generation ship has completed sea trials and is undergoing optimization is the most dangerous time for their Han Dynasty Navy.
, so I still vote no." Xun Qi said calmly, Zhu He came to see this and shook his head slightly to express his understanding.
