The extremely high cost destined the Romans' actions to be extremely cost-effective.
If you want to calculate a military operation, then it is actually no different from daily life, it is just a cost-effectiveness.
The Romans carried out trouble thousands of miles away, which meant that the cost-effectiveness of the operation was extremely low.
And at the same time!
Although the Romans are now recuperating and their national strength is recovering with the newly found fertile land of America, this is always limited. This means that the military resources that the Romans can invest can only be spent on the Southeast Bank.
The amount of money the pirates had to provide them with armament support was also quite limited.
The resources available are extremely limited and the efficiency is extremely low.
Then it can be imagined that the actions of the Romans will not produce any effect in any case, but the strategies and means that can produce effects.
Either the cost is high or there is some risk!
This is something that is certain and certain!
After all, there is no free lunch in the world, and the Romans are not heavenly soldiers and generals. How could they help a few pirates from afar to stump the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty!
It's just a joke.
However, such a joke really happened. The Romans' military struggle ideas, which were basically child's play and nonsense, actually failed the Tang Dynasty!
Du Ruhui thought about it.
Even though I am the Minister of War and the top elite of the Tang Dynasty, I still cannot understand the mystery here.
That’s right, it’s just completely incomprehensible!
This is like seeing a pig on a tree. It might be a farmer making bacon. This is actually possible - with Du Ruhui's knowledge, there are too few military means in the world that can stump him.
If it is missing, it may not exist at all.
After all, the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty is the strongest army in the world today.
But if you see this pig, it is not hanging on the tree, but walking leisurely in mid-air - this is not a property, this is simply a country ghost story.
It’s so scary, it belongs!
The key point is that this kind of terror is not ordinary terror, but real terror, the kind of terror that comes from the "unknown", which is also the most orthodox, profound, and essential terror.
Now Du Ruhui felt inexplicably irritable.
It was so quiet at night that I simply couldn’t eat without knowing the taste and couldn’t sleep well.
When he realized that he was agitated, Du Ruhui suddenly understood the situation in front of him.
The Romans' use of troops this time must have used some kind of military thinking that they have not yet mastered.
It's not without reason that Du Ruhui thinks so.
Because it stands to reason that if you wear crotchless pants while riding a horse, you will start to read the art of war. Normally, any military method in the world will not exceed your expectations.
"Fang Mude Duan" also has its own arrogance!
But this time, the Romans' plan could not be regarded as a traditional "use of troops", because after all, not a single real Roman soldier appeared in the waters surrounding the Tang Dynasty.
After all, the Romans sent military power over, because the destructive power within the Tang Dynasty's circle of influence had been strengthened, and this was undoubtedly the work of the Romans!
It is indeed not new to cause trouble to the opponent without sending out a single soldier. It is called besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, but the Romans' method was obviously more innovative and it was a completely new idea.
In this game, although the efficiency of the Romans' move was very low, the total resources and total cost invested were not high. This seems to be contradictory in words, but this is why Du Ruhui felt that the Romans used a completely new idea.
The simplest and crudest tricks caused huge trouble to the opponent of Datang!
Although Du Ruhui knew that he was playing a soft trick in front of the emperor before, the problem was not big. After all, it had not snowballed and caused real trouble. It just blocked Datang's current strategic path. But
In the long run, Du Ruhui is still confident.
But how did the Romans crack this idea?
A small amount of investment and extremely low efficiency caused panic, which directly caused the Tang Dynasty's maritime trade and colonization strategy to stall. This is really extremely powerful.
but.
Then again, Du Ruhui still didn't think the Romans could gain a strategic advantage so easily!
Strategy is the most difficult game in the world. There is no way the Romans could deceive God!
Du Ruhui knew that unsolved conspiracy existed, but it was the Romans' hands.
Absolutely not!
In fact, Du Ruhui's understanding of the so-called "unsolvable conspiracy" is far deeper than the average person.
Most people think that unsolvable conspiracy is to use the IQ to crush the opponent by playing cards, but in fact, the essence of this just means that most people only talk about IQ and understand it as a little cleverness - and a more advanced little cleverness.
But the real strategy is not like this. The real strategy is similar to capturing the trend of the battle situation, and then using this trend to "block the bug". The expression of this idea in the classical Chinese of the ancients is "to attack the enemy, you must save it."
Of course, the situation now is very complicated.
The Romans played an unsolvable conspiracy, but obviously this gang looks barbaric, but in fact they really have a civilization. They are completely different from the ordinary barbarians in the past. They have obviously completed the innovation and played this "buggy" game.
It goes beyond the category of "attacking the enemy must save it"!
Realizing this, Du Ruhui also felt that it was too awesome.
No wonder this Roman was able to waste so much time, resources and military power of the Tang Dynasty. He was certainly no ordinary person.
The question is what to do?
Although I realize that the other party's methods are clever, and although I still don't know where the other party is clever, I at least determine the degree of cleverness.
But determining the degree is just the degree. It is impossible to determine what bug the other party is stuck in, and the road to finding the answer comes to an abrupt end, that's all.
Du Ruhui finally let out a long sigh, and had to give up thinking almost every night after that, and was forced to choose to take a rest first and finish his job tomorrow.
Of course Du Ruhui is not the only one who thinks like this. Li Er's team is of such high quality that it is rare in ancient times.
As for Li Er himself, he is one of the top strategic elites in the world.
What Du Ruhui thought of, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and other immortals naturally also thought of it. As for Li Er himself, he naturally thought of it after thinking about it again and again.
But no matter it is the ministers under his command.
It was still me, and in the end, like Du Ruhui, I failed to find out where this "bug" was!
In the end, Li Er had to make the same choice as Du Ruhui, which was not a choice: look at the present first!
However, Li Er is still a man of martial virtue. Since he doesn't have the skills to use skill, he will first use brute force to hammer these pirates!
