Liang Kun nodded. He was very satisfied with Xiang Ying's answer, but he continued to raise his own questions on behalf of the Army.

"There is no constant force in the army, and the water is no constant form! War is not taken for granted. I admit the strength of the Zhiyuan, but we cannot ignore the shortcomings of the Zhiyuan, that is, the disadvantages of the quantity. We only have such a warship... What if the enemy chooses to give up the entanglement and divide the troops to break through after the initial defeat? How should the Zhiyuan deal with it?"

"Of course, I know this is a strategic issue rather than a tactical issue, so please ask the Prime Minister to answer our questions!"

Xiang Ying looked back and saw Xiao Letian give up the podium. Xiao Letian took a sip of water and walked up and said, "Yes, Liang Kun's question is actually the most troublesome problem before we formulated the entire strategic plan!"

"What Xiang Ying said just now is right. If you are engaged in a naval battle on the high seas, on the boundless ocean, and so on the firepower, defense and cruise capabilities of the Far, there is no problem in killing the Russian fleet, but the key to the problem is that the enemy is not a wooden man. They are all a group of living thoughtful people, and they also have the ability to think in the face of danger..."

"The most likely possibility is that when the encounter occurs and when the enemy suffers certain losses, they will choose to split their troops and break them into pieces and flee to Vladivostok... and our grand strategy is actually to avoid the enemy's meeting!"

"Pierre has conducted countless data deductions. If we use Zhiyuan to block the Taiwan Strait, the enemy will eventually break through and join the Russian army in Vladivostok. If we choose to block the Typhoon Strait, the enemy will break through successfully..."

"If we choose to block the Ryukyu direction, that is, the Yellow Sea and East China Sea, then 74% of the enemy troops will be able to successfully break through... In summary, it can be seen that our success rate is indeed pitiful!"

There was a buzzing discussion in the audience, "Such a low interception rate? It seems that 30,000 reinforcements can meet successfully at least 20,000. What impact will this have on the overall situation?"

"Yes, and the enemy who failed to fight in the naval battle will be even more crazy. It is hard to predict how many troubles the Far East will take!"

"Silent!" Wang Huaiyuan immediately yelled when he saw the scene chaotic, and the buzzing sound present was immediately suppressed.

Xiao Letian tapped the map with a baton and said coldly, "Yes, your worries are all correct, so we have to give the enemy a trap, a bait that they would rather take risks than eat...that is the so-called legend of the Pacific Golden Treasure Island!"

Xiao Letian walked slowly on the stage with his hands behind his back, looking around the generals, "You know a lot of things, and you don't know a lot of things... Do we Chinese have money now? Let me tell you the truth, our Chinese have money!"

"There are countless gold, silver and treasures saved by our ancestors for thousands of years. Not to mention an industrial revolution, even three industrial revolutions are enough for us to spend!"

"China is always a land favored by God. We don't have to learn from Europeans at all. If they want to carry out the industrial revolution, they must rob and grab the first start-up capital! But we don't have to. Our Chinese civilization has not been cut off for five thousand years, and the wealth of our ancestors has accumulated among the people. As long as we are good at organizing, we can have inexhaustible resources!"

"Someone said that China has been invaded countless times in five thousand years by alien races, and a lot of wealth has been plundered... In fact, this idea is one-sided. War will indeed eliminate a certain amount of wealth, but some wealth cannot be eliminated by war!"

"For example, physical gold and silver, artistic treasures, palaces and gardens, science and technology, etc. I give you the simplest example. You can understand that during the Ming Dynasty overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty and the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, countless gold and silver treasures did flow to the grasslands and into the pockets of Mongolian nobles, but do you really think that those gold and silver have no chance of being with our China?"

"Don't be so narrow-minded. Don't forget that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols in the bitter and cold land in the north always missed the warmth of the rich life in the south. They needed silk, tea, porcelain, salt, iron... and they had two ways to get these goods from the Han people in the Central Plains!"

"The first one is to grab, and the second one is to exchange gold and silver... Over the long years, these two methods have been carried out alternately, but in general, the business model still plays the main role. After all, it is impossible for every Mongolian to be a war maniac!"

"So, the gold and silver in the hands of Mongolians in the Ming and Qing dynasties have always been in a stage of slow reflux to the Central Plains, and this reflux is irreversible!"

"Hahaha... Now you know why the Central Plains civilization has been around for five thousand years, right? Because civilization is like a wealth magnet, it will attract the wealth of the surrounding low-level cultures all the time... The Central Plains civilization was destroyed by foreign races several times, and the stolen wealth will not take a hundred years to return to the embrace of the Central Plains civilization with interest..."

"Even the interest is the land of alien races! The living space of us Chinese has expanded from the Yellow River Basin to more than 10 million square kilometers now. Do you really think it was a lottery draw?"

Xiao Letian said proudly, "It is precisely because I understand China's family background that I have the confidence to make various financial attempts, from the earliest private minting silver coins to the current issuance of paper money. Everything I do is to mobilize the gold and silver wealth scattered among the people in advance and protect it..."

"The legend of the Pacific Golden Treasure Island is not fake. I can reveal to you one thing. It is because my ancestors left so much wealth, and because I have always been carefully protecting these wealth, so we do have a group of Golden Islands under our command, which is the core wealth of our Lotte Bank and the foundation of all currency issuance!"

"The ultimate goal of actively releasing the information on Treasure Island and using ten tons of gold as bait is to arouse the greed of the Russians, let them be fascinated by the light of gold, and let them rush towards our trap!"

"Alexander II is very short of money now, and Tsarist Russia is also very short of money. The abolition policy has collapsed Russia's finances. Now in the City of London, the Russian government bonds are almost at a loss..."

"If ten tons of gold are sent to the City of London by the Russians to circle around, those smart bankers can release twenty tons of gold bonds through these ten tons of gold, and the financial credit rating of Tsarist Russia will be immediately raised!"

"The person who falls into the water will definitely not let go of any life-saving straw!"

The hall was completely infuriated. The officers who were lucky enough to get in touch with this secret in advance could still hold back. However, those who heard about the top secret plan for the first time were all stupid. They really didn't expect the Prime Minister's plan to be so big.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister! So, Ryuma Sakamoto's defection and the conflict between the sword draw team are all a scene? Are these all part of our plan?"

"There is also the financial crisis in Jiangnan! Actually, you have expected it long ago? Do you want to use this war to shear wool in Jiangnan?"
