To put it bluntly, burning dan is a strategic weapon.
Of course, the visual effect of this thing is not as good as that of an aircraft carrier fleet in the eyes of modern people. There are also mushroom clouds, stealth fighters... these things are so exaggerated and cool.
But in the eyes of the ancients, the visual effect was cool and invincible.
Since ancient times, fire and water have been ruthless, and grenades that can trigger thunder have been considered rare and rare. So...
What is a weapon that can cause burning fire, is difficult to extinguish, and has extremely terrifying temperatures, if it is not a divine weapon?
This is not called a strategic weapon, so what is a strategic weapon? It is not without reason that modern countries have established conventions to ban such weapons.
but……
But now, Te Niang's pirates actually use this kind of thing...
To Chai Shao, or to all the Forbidden Army soldiers in the entire Tang Dynasty, this burning pill was something similar to a ghost.
But this time when the pirates used incendiary pellets, the scene was almost comparable to a horror movie...
The horror is over!
That's why I contacted Li Sheng.
When Li Sheng heard the news, he couldn't sit still for an instant.
Damn it...this is too outrageous...weapons of mass destruction, this is washing powder.
Moreover, Chai Shao and his gang were Han generals, not Han envoys back then.
If an expert like Ban Chao and Geng Gong were involved, he might actually be able to make up a story about washing powder, and it would be more realistic and realistic than the CIA. However, Chai Shao is essentially a super soldier - a super big-headed soldier.
, can’t deal with all those bells and whistles.
Since he contacted me urgently and specifically on the phone, that means he really met me.
Then this...
Li Sheng couldn't help but touch his chin in a funny way, this is really interesting!
Burning dan... God damn burning dan...
Who can use this thing?
Li Sheng thought for a while and immediately thought of the "pirates" he encountered some time ago - of course he had already figured out during a great victory, the subsequent prisoners, and the process of interrogating the prisoners that they were all Goguryeo troops and belonged to the regular army.
Of course, this seems to cause some diplomatic troubles, but it is not a big problem.
Anyway, Goguryeo has always been tough. Those are the lawless elements who escaped from Goguryeo. As a country, Goguryeo will not take the blame...
It's useless whatever you Datang says.
However, this did not allow Li Er and the Tang monarchs and ministers to break their defenses. After all... after all, they did not expect Goguryeo to admit its mistakes and compensate the Tang Dynasty.
Anyway...even if they admit their mistake, as long as they are prepared, everyone will still conquer Goguryeo. In fact, there is no difference...
The exchanges between countries are basically the ultimate vanity fair, and everything is just profit.
Li Sheng's opinion on this... I don't have any opinion, it's all a matter of course.
Of course, what Li Sheng focuses on is the less natural part.
Like the damn burning dan!
What Li Sheng was curious about was not the incendiary dan, which in this era was a laundry detergent of mass destruction, but to Li Sheng, it was just an ordinary weapon.
Compared with burning dan, Li Sheng was more curious about where the other party got this thing? To be precise...it was the oil that was essential for making burning dan.
Without oil, what does it burn?
Li Sheng was moved almost immediately. He immediately notified Chai Shao and immediately went all out to investigate...
Chai Shao and others were frightened when they saw the burning dan, because this thing is so powerful in naval battles that any ship that is hit by one will lose its skin even if it is not dead.
But since Li Sheng, the backbone, has given the direction... If we don't understand the situation, let's check it out.
Although it wasn't a great idea, Chai Shao accepted it. Anyway, he had an explanation and he had a direction. He was really panicked by this thing.
As for the Tang Dynasty's fleet, they should do whatever they are supposed to do. They just need to equip the ships with incendiary pellets.
It is disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. If the pirate plays ruthlessly again, then we will be as ruthless as him and we will be done with it.
but……
Chai Shao still has a problem, that is... As Li Sheng remembered correctly, Datang has some burning dan in stock.
But this powerful burning dan cannot continue to be produced.
What do you mean, there are only so many burning dans in the Tang Dynasty, and they will be gone after they are used up...
At present, although Li Sheng said that we should only use burning dan, and we can also use it for home use, but is it really... okay? After all, it is inventory...
How much is used?
But Li Sheng only hesitated for a moment, and then gave an affirmative answer.
"It's not a big problem, just use it."
"But the Holy Commander, our Tang Dynasty..."
"It's okay, Mr. Chai, you must also remember that in the great deeds of Huo Qubing, there is a saying about food and enemies..."
With Li Sheng's point, Chai Shao would naturally get through to him right away.
Because food was at the enemy's disposal... This means that when the Han Dynasty went north to conquer the Xiongnu, fighting was always very laborious because food was constantly being transported.
But Huo Qubing didn't bother, he directly procured the Huns' food for free - of course, this has a prerequisite, that is, you can win the battle like Huo Qubing...
But this was not a problem for the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty.
And Li Sheng's meaning is also very simple. As long as our imperial army of the Tang Dynasty also wins the battle, there will always be a chance to seize the enemy and interrogate the origin.
And after that, just follow the clues!
It is natural to find out the source of burning dan behind this, as well as oil-related information.
Once you find oil, won't you be able to continue to produce burning oil in the future? It's simple...
Li Sheng comforted Chai Shao and then put down the phone, but he gradually became uneasy.
In fact, it can't be called uneasiness, but I am quite worried. This is true.
Oil...
The internal combustion engine has not yet appeared.
But the world is already fighting for oil.
Making combustion dan is the most superficial and elementary way to use petroleum energy.
But that's just the way humans are. After all, humans are a species that uses fire.
Anything with powerful energy will inevitably trigger the hunger and thirst of all humans, whether it is food containing biological energy or crude oil containing chemical energy. This is the fundamental logic of the human world.
Li Sheng's heart was filled with ups and downs, because it was foreseeable that...
The torture China experienced during the hundreds of years of chaos during the Five Husties in China and the Northern and Southern Dynasties was nothing more than a small suffering.
The struggle for hegemony in the world is what can really lead to the end of the world. Where are the Indians today? They should still be happily munching corn in America...
Li Sheng shook his head, took a breath, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I didn't want to be a celebrity, but I unintentionally set the wheel of history in motion, and now I have to bear something that I have to bear.
But for now, it still depends on whether Chai Shao, the others, and Wu Meiniang can find information about the oil field.
