1245 Nightfall
Xiang Ying is very sensitive. He is good at observing words and expressions. Why is the Prime Minister silent and stunned when he sees Taiwan Island? Why are he repeatedly mentioning the ban on Taiwan by the court? Is it true that this island hides the Prime Minister's secret?
It's possible! Such a large island and it's a place where the Qing Dynasty neglected, the Prime Minister could not have no plans. Perhaps on the island of Taiwan now, there are brothers from the CIA secretly forming forces. It's very possible! It's really possible...
Xiang Ying was a little overthinking. In fact, Xiao Letian really did not invest too much in Taiwan Island. Now the CIA has only sponsored a large number of ascetic monks and Taoist priests to spread Buddhist and Taoist teachings among the mountains.
On the west coast of Taiwan Island, there are some small semicolons of Lotte Foreign Company in the Han gathering area, doing some business and collecting some information, but there are really no other plans.
It’s not that Xiao Letian does not value Taiwan, but that geopolitics has different manifestations in different periods. Taiwan Island has gradually become a hot topic in global geopolitics, which was formed under the grand strategic environment of the United States’ first island chain blocking China.
The unique political position is just because it happened to catch up with that special history in history. In the era of sail battleships, the control area of the navy was actually very narrow. Although the British Royal Navy was invincible, it could only be said to control the counties on the ocean, that is, the waterways.
Until steam-powered warships began to become popular and battleships spread across the ocean, the navy's control range began to expand from line to surface. The extension of artillery range and the increase in endurance made the navy gradually become a weapon in the control area.
As for the concept of the first island chain, it must be a military theory that gradually emerged after the invention of the internal combustion engine, after the great development of aviation technology, and after the aircraft carriers became the protagonists of the battlefield.
A fleet of aircraft carriers can attack the sea with a radius of about 800 or even 1,000 kilometers. Only when technology develops to such a level can the aircraft carrier cluster create the so-called first island chain.
What exactly is the first island chain? In fact, it is the strike radius that the land-based aviation force on the island can cover, then draw a circle, and then draw a circle on the map at the next island's air force airport. Just draw circles one by one, connecting each other, connecting each other, and finally forming a necklace, which is the island chain.
Any enemy will be ruthlessly hit when passing by these circles. The function of an aircraft carrier is to play a connecting role in the middle of some airports that are too far away, and connect the necklace with the combat radius of the aircraft carrier.
Of course, with the changes in the war, the aircraft carrier can also adjust its position at any time, so that this chain of war can be attacked and defended.
The driving force for human progress is actually the development of science and technology. New technology brings new weapons, new weapons bring new ideas of war, and new ideas of war will bring new geopolitical theories.
Everything should be done step by step. Now, humans' means of controlling the ocean are still in the era of transition from sail warships to pure steam-powered warships. The naval strength of all existing countries cannot block the entire ocean.
Because of this, the Chinese navy has the opportunity to gallop across the ocean. If you can beat me, you will fight me, and if you can't beat me, you will run away. And now there are some unowned islands in the Pacific Ocean.
If Guam, Hawaii, Midway, Nanyang Islands and Australia all have Chinese naval bases in the future, then Taiwan Island will naturally become an island in the inner lake of the Chinese people, and there is actually no need for militarization at all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian smiled slightly and took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. "It's almost six o'clock, and it will be completely dark in a while. We should prepare to return north... This treasure island, come and have a chance in the future!"
The sun sets in the west, the sea is shrouded in darkness, the sky is full of stars, and the lights of the Russian ships on the distant sea are getting smaller and smaller. It seems that Vinia has led the team to head north.
Looking at the enemy's back as he left, Xiao Letian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "All what I should do has been done, all my strategies have been used up, it depends on the arrangement of fate!"
In the dark night, the Tsarist Russian Expeditionary Force was shrouded in an atmosphere of extreme grief and anger. The main fleet led by Stefansky was currently sailing above the waves of the East China Sea. This time they learned their lesson and dared not approach the coastline too much. After crossing the Minjiang River estuary, the fleet began to deviate to the northeast.
Almost all warships were filled with angry curses from soldiers, and officers at all levels began to count the casualties of each unit. Whenever a familiar name was recorded in the notebook, the other soldiers knew that he had gone to see God.
How could the fighting nation endure such insults? The irritable soldier smashed the lunch box in his hand with a bang, and the stewed potatoes and meat were scattered all over the floor.
"Shame! The Tsar's warriors actually made these Qing slaves unable to fight back. It was simply a shame!"
"Yes, it's so embarrassing. How do those fat pigs command? And how do your navy fight?"
The soldiers of the navy opposite were angry when they heard this. They were already angry when they were defeated. Now they could not resist the army soldiers scolding like this, and they were immediately furious.
"Fuck! You are the pigs. We fight to the death. You are watching the fun behind you. All the brothers of our navy are dead. Do you still have the face to scold me?"
"A brainless idiot, do you know what the sea battle is going on? I'm afraid you don't even know a few..."
The navy has always had a higher level of education than the army. Using IQ to insult the army has always aroused the anger of the army. In addition, fighting in combat nations, the words on both sides froze and fists and feet flew together.
"Beat him! Everyone goes together! Beat him to death..."
At this moment, the captains were holding an emergency military meeting on the St. Peter. Just when the atmosphere was at the most tense, there was a sudden incident of a violation of discipline on the troop transport ship.
The commander-in-chief waved his hand, "Let the military police handle it, let us not care about these trivial matters! I will not punish all those involved in the fight today. After the war starts, I will marshal me into the first combat sequence. I will let them fight enough..."
The adjutant took the order to walk out of the command cabin, and soon there were waves of scolding from the rear of the fleet, followed by gunfire sounds of warning, and the riot finally subsided.
Stefansky took a sip of espresso and said, "Did you see it? The morale of the army has already fluctuated, and the young men are in a state of unstable mood. Now I just want to consult everyone, will our subsequent plans be implemented? Will we still fight on the Zangjin Island!"
Note: This is the addition of the sixth layer cake... I will work together again, and I will add another update to you later. Today, I will give you all the addition of the sixth layer cake.
