934 Core Strategy
Ryukyu in the heavy rain was still uneasy. The soldiers' horses on the street were ordered to stare at the heavy rain and run forward. The heat from the horse's nose was flying with rain flowers.
Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Luo Huo... and even Pierre, a French gold-medal intelligence analyst who has been learning Chinese and the situation in East Asia. These most core aides around Xiao Letian began to meet with the Prime Minister's Mansion in the heavy rain.
Everyone looked ugly. In such weather, they even called an emergency meeting, indicating that something big must have happened. When everyone arrived at the small flower hall, everyone was stunned when they saw the latest telegram on the stone table.
Xiao Hexin rubbed his injured leg and said it was unscrupulous. "What a bold, what a bold! Make preparations with both hands. On the one hand, notify Prussia to mediate as much as possible, and on the other hand, start preparing for war. Shrink our various plans and concentrate resources to prepare for war!"
Luo Huo rubbed his eyes and patted his hands together excitedly, "Good, it's so good! You have a kind, so good! Don't destroy your own majesty first, you should look at the good side! The new tactics we have been studying on paper before have made these children successfully experiment... Congratulations to Prime Minister, congratulations to Prime Minister!"
Wang Huaiyuan could stabilize his emotions and said lightly, "Yes, using warships as heavy artillery output platforms, so that we have the most powerful firepower output, and the army's artillery cannot fight against us at all... Then infantry and naval guns effectively cooperate with three-dimensional cross-fighting..."
"Soldiers are the eyes of naval guns, and naval guns are the guns in the hands of soldiers! Such tactics have already surpassed the whole world, and the Prime Minister is indeed a genius! But... but offended France and caused concern to Britain. Can we have a second and third warships in the future?"
Alas... Wang Huaiyuan sighed, "No matter how good the tactic is, how can we fight without a warship? Even if the Zhiyuan breaks out of the siege and returns to the country, how can we fight against Britain and France with this warship alone?"
Luo Huo was stunned by a basin of cold water. Wang Huaiyuan said with lingering fear, "I shouldn't have let these children lead the team at the beginning. I should have let the prince take the boat back to China in person. There is no escort to the old man... Look, is something wrong now?"
"The Marine Corps and new warships are related to the Prime Minister's strategic layout for the next decades. How we protect the special economic zones and how to establish autonomous territories within the Qing Dynasty rely on warships!"
The people present were all figures in Xiao Letian's core circle. They were able to access the core strategies with the highest density. Some people may not understand why the Frenchman Pierre could also join.
That's because Pierre has been convicted of treason by France, and he has no choice but to become a person who cannot return to his country. Now only Xiao Letian can rely on in the whole world.
More importantly, Xiao Letian's future plans are inseparable from accurate judgment of the European situation, so this spy who is familiar with the internal affairs of Europe naturally became a core member of Xiao Letian's shogunate.
People didn't speak, Xiao Letian turned his eyes to Pierre. At this time, he found that Pierre's eyes were a little dispersed, and he was holding the information in his hand, but his eyes became empty.
Everyone knows that he is thinking, but ten minutes later, Pierre spoke, "The information is too general, there is no key data at all, it is difficult for me to make a judgment..."
Just when everyone was disappointed, Pierre suddenly changed his tone, "But... But from the whole process of the incident, the entire battle should be under our control!"
"I'm sorry, the children who went to Europe to study are all elites with many choices. They are not only smart but also have received half a year of military training. They have become very pragmatic through strict discipline. They are not the kind of nerds who study hard at all!"
"So, I think things should not be as serious as everyone thinks... Just one iron armored ship, 180 soldiers landing on the beach, and only 36 people died in the end... What does this mean? This shows that the entire battle is under control, and the baton on the battlefield has been held in Xiang Ying's hand!"
"My suggestion is to hold down this message first and wait for the subsequent telegram... I just read it. This telegram was sent to the Intelligence Bureau this morning. After two hours of translation and verification, it was delivered to the Prime Minister." Pierre took out his pocket watch and looked at it.
"It's already noon now. According to the efficiency of the Prussian intelligence agency, they should have updated telegrams sent over six hours. I think they should be on the way..."
Pierre is right. It takes about fifteen days to reach the telegram from Europe to Asia, because there are some nodes in the middle that require the telegrapher to send the news again, and even some backward areas need to turn the line between different telegraph offices.
Fifteen days are already very fast. Thanks to the smooth laying of submarine cables from Ryukyu to Shanghai and Hong Kong, some areas can already be used, otherwise this information will take at least two months.
Fifteen days are enough for a big change in the situation. Now is not the era of global information networking in later generations. It is completely a fantasy to try to directly control the army tens of thousands of miles away in the headquarters.
However, Prussia has always been rigorous. According to regulations, new information will be summarized to generate electricity from the headquarters at any time. The maximum interval is generally six hours.
In other words, after the first telegram was sent fifteen days ago, a second telegram should be sent in about six hours, and it should also be in duplicate.
Before he finished speaking, a guard standing in the wind and rain ten meters away from the small flower hall pulled his neck and shouted, "The CIA received the latest telegram, the password level is top secret... Now it is in the tense translation process..."
With a bang, Wang Huaiyuan pushed open the door of the flower hall, "Let them come to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a telegram, and translate it here. We'll wait and see it, go quickly..."
"Yes!" The guard stood attentively and turned his head and ran out wildly.
When they heard a new telegram, the nervousness of the people present was somewhat relieved. Xiao Letian ordered that lunch be prepared for you. While waiting, the topic once again shifted to the highest secret of Ryukyu.
What is Xiao Letian’s future strategy like? This is not only the secret that all politicians in the entire Qing Dynasty and East Asia want to explore, but also the secret that the entire European and American world is also eager to know.
And now these people in the flower hall in the world know this secret, and even the old shopkeeper Fan Jian and Xiao Letian's wife don't know it.
"I repeat again that my core strategy cannot be changed. You must implement it even if you understand it. If you don't understand it or if you don't, you must implement it even if you don't have the right to withdraw... I know you don't understand it in your heart, but I'll say it again here!"
"I, Xiao Letian, will never be the king, let alone the emperor... If your ideal is to follow me to build a country and distribute dividends, then it will be harder to see this old path in this life!" Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
