The loss is lost and the harvest is almost the same as Xiao Letian's current mood. After the Bai Layi tragedy, Xiao Letian was so distressed that he couldn't sleep all night. He was afraid that the Chinese people he raised himself would eventually become monsters that devour human flesh. Today, he could sacrifice 10,000 people under the banner of justice, and tomorrow he might sacrifice 10,000 people under the banner of other things.

This is not an exaggeration. Think about the years of warlords fighting, those grass-headed kings who do not think they are just? Looking at the history books of China, the tragedy that drove refugees to the city was not once or twice, let alone those massacres that were strong and clear.

It is really an unexpected gain to be able to force out a "Confidentiality Act" and "The Law of Understanding" through the Bai Layi tragedy. To put it bluntly, it is a long time to dilute the impact of some sensitive items, and the law of Understanding can also install a restrained handcuff to the internal stake.

I dare not expect that the Chinese leadership will become moral gentlemen in the future. That kind of unrealistic extravagant hope is inherently contrary to human nature. But at least there are some rules that can restrain them from being unscrupulous, which is the limit that Xiao Letian can do.

Perhaps as time goes by, as Xiao Letian leaves the center of political rights, people may have recurrences, and his laws may be destroyed by ambitious people, but after all, he, the founder of the Chinese people, has created a systemic protective weapon. Some people want to destroy them, and some people want to protect them.

I dare not say that such a system can be done once and for all. At least with such a system, it can create certain obstacles for later ambitionists and provide a handy weapon for the guardians of later generations.

Internal fighting is always more cruel and complex than external fighting, and the enemies around you are always more dangerous and terrifying than foreign enemies!

Xiao Letian has done everything he can do. Before the war, he was able to clean up people's hearts and make up for the cracks in people's hearts. This is really a blessing for the Chinese people. I can't imagine how bad the impact it would have on the battlefield if people's hearts conflicted due to factional disputes.

The heavy topic ended, the people present breathed a sigh of relief, and the topic continued to return to the upcoming war.

"The location of this decisive battle has been chosen, and it is just north of Ryukyu..." Xiao Letian opened a huge map of Ryukyu Islands and pointed at a huge island north of Ryukyu's main island with his fingers.

There is an important island 280 kilometers northeast of the Ryukyu main island, which is called Amami Oshima by the people of Fusang and Ryukyu. This island is located in the middle between Kyushu and Ryukyu main island in Japan, and its geographical location is very important.

Amami Oshima has mountainous jungles and complex coastline. The island with a total area of ​​more than 700 square kilometers now has more than 30,000 permanent residents.

This is a very important sugar and rum production base in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it is also a resort that Xiao Lotte loves very much. Basically, Xiao Lotte goes to Amami Island every year to taste local rum and rice, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mangrove coast.

Of course, vacation is just an excuse. One of Xiao Lotte's real purpose in going to Amami Oshima is because of the secret vault on this island.

Amami Oshima is mountainous, with the highest peak of Tangwan Mountain at an altitude of 694 meters. It is known as the 694-highland on the military map. In this mountain, Xiao Lotte used modern tools such as explosives to dig out a very hidden place and is also the largest secret vault in the Pacific Ocean.

Xiao Letian is well aware of the principle of cunning rabbits having three holes. Future wars will not only rely on giant ships and cannons, but also on hard currency such as gold, jewelry and even art.

In international bulk transactions, no one wants paper money. Countries would rather accept physical transactions than those unsafe credit currencies.

Especially during the war, those who were not participating in the war would definitely try their best to make money in the war. By then, Xiao Letian wanted to purchase arms, etc., and it would not work without relying on gold.

During peacetime, the long-term gold storage of Amami Oshima vault was about four tons, and coupled with a large amount of hard currency such as silver ingots and jewelry, it was enough for Lotte Bank to stabilize the credit of the banknotes.

Now, in order to deal with the upcoming Russian fleet and to cope with the Jiangnan banknote crisis, Xiao Lotte secretly transported three batches of gold from the more hidden Zangjin Island in the east. In fact, the total amount of gold in the Amami Oshima vault has already exceeded ten tons. According to the accounts of Lotte Bank, the amount of gold in the Amami Oshima vault at this moment should be 409,177 ounces, which is 11.6 tons.

Not only that, there are 21 tons of cast high-purity silver ingots, 2.1 million dragon-patterned silver coins, and countless jewelry in the vault.

"This war is related to the future life and death of the Chinese people, so we do not plan to use fake bait, but choose to use real money and silver to attract those cunning enemies... Any sufficient preparation in the face of war is necessary!"

"Since the intelligence of Amami Oshima vault was released, more than a dozen spies of unknown origin have been visited here, and even the CIA has found some mice in Lotte Bank... If we speculate correctly, the owner behind these mice should be British!"

"In this naval battle, our enemies are not only Russia, but also the entire Western world led by Britain. Although from the perspective of European political situation, the British are willing to defeat the Russians, they prefer to be a miserable victory with both sides. The natural hostility of Westerners to the Easterners is destined that we will not be friends, but only competitors..."

"So don't blame me for taking out all the Chinese family's assets, because if you want to successfully deceive your opponent, the best way is to use real bait to lure the enemy!"

"Amami Oshima is actually not an island, but is divided into two parts: north and south. The main island occupies 80% of the area in the north. There is a narrow east-west island in the south of the main island called Ryuma Island..."

"Between Luma Island and the island, there is a long and narrow strait. The locals call it Sachuan Bay. It is about 20 kilometers in the east and west, and the narrowest part is only 2.5 kilometers wide. This is our final ambush. Our purpose is to bury the Russian Expeditionary Fleet here..."

Everyone present was stunned by this bold combat plan, but from the map, Sachuan Bay is indeed a very good ambush place, long and narrow in the two sections of entrances.

As long as the entrance to the east and west is blocked, the enemy will become rats in his pocket and can only be slaughtered by the new army. Victory is only a matter of time. But is the war really taken for granted?

"Prime Minister, I have two questions... First, how can we ensure that the cunning enemy will enter the bay? Logically speaking, the Russians cannot see the dangers in this terrain condition, right? Unless their expeditionary commander is an idiot."

"The second question is, even if the Russians enter the strait, what should we use to block the enemy? You must know that there is only one Zhiyuan, and the other sail warships are all training ships? Those warships have long fallen behind..."
