"In other words, the 8-kilometer radius of where the warship is parked is an invincible combat area. Our marines can form an absolute advantage in this area. Any enemy who invades this area will be ruthlessly strangled... "
"The area between 8 kilometers and 20 kilometers belongs to the deterrence zone of naval guns. In this area, the lethality of naval guns still exists but the accuracy is greatly reduced. This area must be dominated by marines and warships. Fight for the auxiliary!"
"The 20-kilometer area is also the core area of the special zone. There are a large number of permanent bunkers, trenches, barbed wire fences and even reinforced concrete bunker jungles, which are enough to maximize the advantages of our new army's good defense..."
Pierre opened the notebook in his pocket and began to analyze the data bit by bit. Under his detailed description, Ryukyu's military power was completely analyzed, as meticulously as a cook explaining a cow.
The artillery is invincible within eight kilometers, because the 210-caliber naval gun was the largest caliber artillery in the world at that time, and it was also the well-deserved king of firepower. As long as it is provided with accurate coordinates, a shell of such a large caliber can kill hundreds or even thousands of people. Send your enemies to hell.
No matter how strong the fortifications are, they cannot withstand such firepower, and armor-piercing projectile technology will definitely become more mature in the future. It is certain that in an era before aerial bombs and cruise missiles appeared, main naval guns will always be the king of human firepower.
"This time we are fighting in Dakar. After all, we are fighting away from home. The information can only be transmitted by the most primitive fireworks. But once the battlefield returns to Asia and our special zone, telegraphs, fireworks signals, semaphores, light signals, Even various battlefield information communication methods such as hot air balloon positioning can add eyes to naval guns..."
"At that time, we will really be able to hit wherever we point! If we install clairvoyance on the naval guns, we will be invincible within a radius of 20 kilometers..."
When Pierre said this, Xiao Letian smiled secretly in his heart and said, "You don't know that there will be a black technology called radio in the future. In 1893, Nikolaj Truss had already come up with a mature technology and applied for a patent. Just over twenty years.
Now that Xiao Letian, a time traveler, has appeared, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to radio technology. As long as sufficient funds are provided and excellent talents are poached in advance, Xiao Letian can definitely shorten this time by half.
If everything goes well, the Ryukyu Ironclad Fleet will be basically formed in ten years. If it is equipped with radio communication technology at that time, it will be even more powerful.
"Now everyone should understand why the Prime Minister has not equipped the new army with cavalry as a unit. War horses are completely used as messengers in Ryukyu... The reason is very simple. The Prime Minister has never thought about carrying out a large-scale and deep strategy. decisive battle……"
Xiao Letian took over the words and said, "Yes, at least within ten years we in Ryukyu will not need cavalry, a very low-cost unit... This is based on our grand strategy! Our overall plan for the next ten years What is the strategy? That is to take the offensive on the ocean and take the defensive on the continent!"
"We should not be the instigators of civil strife in China. We should wait and see what happens and wait for the situation to worsen... Do you really think that the Qing Dynasty is peaceful now? Wrong. Even if I don't participate in the Qing Dynasty, war is not possible. Avoided!”
"What is Zai Chun doing? He is preparing for the pro-government in three years. The three hundred guards are driving him crazy! They eat together, live together, train and study together... Under Zai Chun's strong pressure, these three hundred guards are driving him crazy!" The guards have long since broken away from the Manchu tactics of the past, and have transformed into no different from our new army..."
"Furthermore, Zai Chun and his party in Jiangnan at the beginning of the year have reached a secret agreement with Hu Xueyan and the Zeng brothers. Do you really think that Zai Chun will still rely on our financial support in the future? Wrong, the Jiangnan area will provide him with certain financial resources. It can provide him with at least two-thirds..."
"And next year, Zai Chun's three hundred guards will secretly go to Fujian and other places. Where is the sphere of influence of Zuo Zongtang, a loyal minister. Wherever the three hundred guards will disperse, they will personally train their own armies. The sources of troops will be except the local mountains. In addition to the people, there are also some refugees gathered in the north..."
There was a commotion during the dinner, and people looked at Xiao Letian in disbelief. The crab claws held in Luo Huo's hands were pierced into the flesh, and they didn't even know it hurt.
Xiao Letian sneered, "And what about the city of Beijing? Prince Gong and Prince Chun relied on the magic weapon of bonds to raise funds, and they started to expand the army like crazy. The Englishman Hurd went to Prince Gong's Mansion three times a month to accept the summons. He was purchasing arms. The orders are so large that arms dealers across Europe are drooling."
"A civil war three years later seems inevitable! What role should we play in this war? There is no absolute answer to this question now, and we need to think about it together..."
"There is another source of chaos and that is the Hunan Army! Zeng Guofan may not have the idea of drawing chestnuts from the fire, but we must not forget that the commander-in-chief is 57 years old this year, and will be 60 years old in three years... To put it in an unlucky way, many years of fighting The commander-in-chief has spent too much effort, and unpredictable things may happen at any time in the future..."
"If the commander-in-chief is gone, who can restrain the ninth commander-in-chief and those arrogant and powerful generals? This is also a huge source of chaos..."
Xiao Letian punched the table with a bang, "You guys always remember that when the world is in chaos, the first to start the show is often the first to be unlucky. We don't want to be the one who takes the lead. That scene three years later The world is upside down, all we have to do is protect! First, guard the sea frontier thousands of miles away and prevent Westerners from taking advantage of the chaos..."
"Then, we will use military force to release huge pressure on all parties... What do we want to get? What we want is more special zones, and we want to build more fortresses of our own in the Qing Dynasty!"
"This is the strategy we are aiming for. I named it 'Project Fortress' codenamed 'Great Wall'!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Just hearing the name already gave people a strong sense of iron and blood. "Special zone, battleships, marines, fortifications, an 8-kilometer invincible zone and a 20-kilometer defense system... all of this can be done." Forming a special zone? No, no, no, this is not a special zone, but a fortress, a fortress that uses high technology and strong industrial strength, plus the blood of hundreds of thousands of people..."
"With these fortresses, we can protect the last breath of China's vitality! This is not a joke, it is a fact!"
Note: This is the third update. These chapters are very important. The Hidden Words of Hidden Dragon are reflected in these strategies. The ten-year strategic plan has been formed!
