The compassion of a politician is always very precious, but it is also very short-lived. Huniu is no longer the daughter of a small businessman family in the countryside. Years of working in the Chinese upper class have given her a politician's heart. .
"That's all, that's all. There are no immortals in a war. I believe that you will not let the heroes suffer in the end. After the war in the future, you must come up with the most generous pension policy..."
"Don't be careless, I want to see it with my own eyes!"
"Yes, don't worry, Master, we will not let any hero bleed or shed tears. The honor and family support will never stop!"
Huniu was not interested in hearing their expressions of determination, and soon she put all her thoughts on the sea chart: "Not enough, you don't give me enough confidence. The water ghost submarine is a surprise weapon, but I don't feel the decisive power." !”
"Look into my eyes, you have to prove to me that you are not capable of this, right?"
Xiang Ying licked her lips and nodded, "Yes, Master, the war is dangerous and the master has never taught us to be arrogant!"
"The Eight Immortals Ansha and the Kunigami Water Ghost Plan are two extremely important arrangements for us, but we are not without other options!"
"Mother, we have also calculated that the Royal Navy has rich combat experience and their total tonnage is also very large. They may divide their forces to fight, or they may not fall into our trap. We have to take these into consideration!"
"After all, their total tonnage is more than double ours. If the main force fights our fleet on the high seas, and part of the force is divided to attack Brunei Port, it is not impossible. Then we have another trump card to consume the opponent."
"Water mines, yes, they are the most traditional mine tactics, but we have new innovations!" Lin Zhen took out some photos from his briefcase and placed them in front of Huniu.
"Master, please look at this, this is a very advanced minelayer, only we Chinese in the world have it!"
Huniu took the photo and looked at it carefully and greedily under the bright light.
Mines are a very old type of naval warfare weapon. Their combat power is very large, and their technical maturity is higher than that of the Kunigami Water Ghost Project.
However, sea mines also have their technical limitations. First of all, they are a trap. They cannot be used as a proactive attack weapon. They can only be used as a means of defense.
Laying mines in deep sea and high seas is ineffective because ocean currents will wash away these mines, and enemy fleets can easily go around them.
You can't rely on mines to block the endless sea. After all, you don't have that much production capacity.
Therefore, mines have always been used in port defense and blockade.
Another weapon like mines is troublesome to arrange and remove, and it takes time. Moreover, it poses a very big threat to both the enemy and ourselves.
Therefore, weapons such as mines should be used with caution unless absolutely necessary.
But what Xiang Ying and Lin Zhen showed this time was a completely new way of thinking.
"Mother, this is a mine-laying boat. It is steam-powered and can carry up to 50 mines. It has transmission racks and ejection devices on both sides. The mine-laying method is very fast!"
"The mechanical ejection device can throw the mine to both sides or an area of 30 meters on one side. Soldiers only need to take off the safety before ejection!"
"This greatly improves the efficiency of minelaying. The normal 24-hour minelaying capacity can be reduced to 4 hours with this minelaying boat!"
"We currently have five such mine-laying boats. As long as the enemy dares to come, this mine-laying efficiency will be enough for them to drink a pot!"
"Our overall plan is like this. Brunei Port will become a piece of cake to tempt the enemy. I believe that under the temptation of the huge oil industry and gold and silver, the British will not be willing to abandon this place."
"But we cannot underestimate the enemy's cunning. They will carefully inquire about the military situation before attacking, so we will not lay mines in the early stage, or we will lay a small number of mines to paralyze the enemy."
"As long as the enemy dares to approach Brunei and the two sides enter the stage of bombardment with naval guns and coastal defense artillery, they will not even think about chewing down our coastal defense batteries in a few days!"
"This is a good opportunity for our minelayers to dispatch. We will take advantage of the cover of night to go behind the enemy and lay out minefields one after another as quickly as possible!"
"Yes, the mines will trap these enemies alive. When they find out something is wrong the next day, they may not have a chance!"
"One minefield after another will surround them, and they will not be able to escape!"
Hu Niu suddenly became interested when she heard this, "Oh? I seem to understand a little bit. Are you turning a dead object that doesn't move into something movable?"
"In other words, you have given the mines a certain ability to proactively attack?"
"That's right, Master's wife is right in summing up. We are using new equipment like minelayers to give mines, a purely defensive weapon, a certain degree of offensiveness!"
"What about the British demining? This time the British brought out a lot of destroyers, and they are very good at demining!"
"Don't worry, Master, mine clearing will never be as fast as mine laying, let alone our most advanced mine-laying boats. After 4 hours of mine laying, the enemy will need at least a week to clear mines!"
"This stage is the time we have gained to fight back. Our warships are not vegetarians, and our shore defense artillery is not a display. We will continue to attack and bleed the enemy!"
"Even if the British guy is an elephant, we can slowly bleed him to death!"
"Not to mention... we have a fourth trump card!"
Xiang Ying suddenly took out a very small model toy from his bag. It was only about an inch in size and was placed very delicately on the map.
This thing is familiar to all three people, but it is top secret to this world.
This is the heaven-defying weapon system brought by Xiao Letian from his previous life. This is a biplane propeller aircraft made of wood.
"You...are you going to use your master's lifeblood?" Huniu trembled as she spoke. "Child, I want to remind you that the power level of Chenglong Brigade is too high. You don't have the power to use it now!"
"My child, if you want to use the Chenglong Brigade when your master is away, you must get the authorization of the entire military control cabinet, that is, the consent of the eldest lady and I, plus Fu Yin'er, and the Four Heavenly Kings!"
"Your power level is not enough?"
Xiang Ying shook his head, "I can't command Chenglong Brigade, but there are ways!"
Since the Chinese have a mature internal combustion engine, Xiao Letian will never give up in the aerospace field. Internal combustion engine cars have begun to gradually become militarized.
It has become inevitable to copy mankind's earliest biplane propeller aircraft.
Xiao Letian has a very top-secret Chenglong brigade under his command, which contains various types of biplane propeller aircraft.
The Chinese had no way to leverage this new technology. He could only rely on Xiao Letian's memories of his previous life and the experiments of outstanding engineers, and explore it bit by bit.
Fortunately, the structure of the biplane propeller aircraft is too simple and the stability is not bad, so the research progress has been smooth.
But no matter how smooth it goes, this brigade is still experimental in nature and does not have the ability to fight.
Chenglong Brigade is an experimental base. This is the first batch of reconnaissance aircraft. Combat is not their mission at all, but today Xiang Ying is very strange and wants to use them as a trump card.
Huniu really couldn't understand, what kind of medicine was sold in Xiang Ying's gourd?
