"War?"
When Zhuge Weidao heard these two words, he immediately became energetic, "Is this a world war? Is it finally about to begin?"
Zhuge Weiyi and Zhuge Weyong glared at Zhuge Weidao angrily - Why are you, a young man, so warlike? There is always a world war. It's okay if we win, but what happens if we lose?
Besides, Ming now has the upper hand. He is lucky, has many chips, and can cheat. Isn't it enough to just bet on small things with Britain? How risky is it to completely break up and start a war?
Zhuge Weiyi shook his head and said: "It's not a world war, it's just a large-scale border conflict."
Zhuge Weiyong waved his hand: "Yes, according to reliable intelligence, the British are extremely wary of our fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf. They feel that our Persian Gulf fleet threatens their colonial rule in India, and they want to force them away."
Zhuge Weidao asked: "How do the British want to force them?"
Zhuge Wenyong said: "They are going to block the Strait of Malacca first, and then send a large fleet to attack the Persian Gulf. They will also instigate the Ottoman Empire's army they support to attack Syria, and they will join forces with France, Austria, and Prussia to put pressure on Ali Pasha. , forcing him to abandon the flag of the Arab Empire and retreat to Egypt. At the same time, the British will also put pressure on the Sultan of Oman, forcing him to stop providing logistical support to the Persian Gulf Fleet."
Zhuge Weidao nodded, "This is the British style. What about us?"
Zhuge Wenyong said: "We are going to use our strategy to storm the Temasek Fortress and completely open the Strait of Malacca!"
"A strong attack?" Zhuge Weidao frowned, "A lot of people will die, right? Will the public support us?"
Zhuge Wenyong said: "This is a matter for the Army. Your good friend Zheng Shenshan is in charge of this plan and is preparing to dispatch 300,000 Japanese troops to attack Temasek!"
"Then it's no problem!" Zhuge Weidao calculated the result with his fingers. It is impossible for 300,000 Japanese soldiers to defeat Singapore. Historically, Yamashita Fengfumi led two divisions of 40,000 men to conquer the Malay Peninsula and Singapore where 130,000 British troops were stationed. Among them, 80,000 British troops were captured by the Japanese in Singapore alone!
Hearing what Zhuge Weidao said, Zhuge Weyong also felt that there was no problem, so he smiled and said: "After taking the Temasek Fortress, our chess is gone. If the British do not give in and continue to besiege the Persian Gulf, then we will You can use the main force of the Nanyang Fleet to move westward, or you can continue to go south to capture the Dutch East Indies. After capturing the Dutch East Indies, Australia will be under our front! If the British don't admit defeat, haha. Their fleet will have to We moved him back and forth between the Persian Gulf and the east coast of Australia, and he even fell apart!"
"Without Temasek, the British war is indeed unwinnable." Zhuge Weidao thought for a while, "But the British will not give up Temasek easily. If they really can't hold it, they should send the Indian fleet. ?”
"Don't be afraid," Zhuge Weiyi said with a smile, "because the Rakshasa people abandoned four heroic-level orders, we now have four heroic-level orders, twelve Hanwu-level orders (Hongwu-level changes), four Zhongwang-level orders, and There are four aircraft-carrying battle cruisers. There are a total of twenty cutting-edge battleships and battle cruisers. It is impossible to defeat the Indian fleet. Daozi, those four aircraft-carrying battle cruisers plus sixteen lightning strike destroyers plus some auxiliary ships will form a An air fleet is not organized into the three major fleets, but is directly under the jurisdiction of the Navy Department and the Naval Staff Department, and is managed by the Air Force Admiral's Office. You are the admiral of the air fleet!"
Zhuge Wenyong said: "Daozi, the ship will be handed over to you in 9-12 months at most. But you have to figure out how to use it yourself. Also, you and the aviation admiral have to figure out the plane and pilot yourself." Find a way. A large-scale border conflict is coming, you have to hurry up!"
Zhuge Weiyi added: "Our requirement is that if the Malacca border conflict breaks out after December, the Naval Aviation Admiralty must prepare at least one aircraft-carrying battlecruiser that can be used for combat and 20 ships that can be used to fight airships. It’s not too demanding to carry an airplane with a pilot and ground crew, right?”
Isn't this high?
Zhuge Weidao said in his heart: "Twelve months have passed in the blink of an eye. The carrier-based aircraft has not yet disappeared. When will it be able to go to the battlefield? No, I have to go to Zhuge Weitian to find a way! No matter what, I have to build a very powerful aircraft. Is it a Dove reconnaissance aircraft?"
After accepting that it seemed impossible to complete the task, he held another half-day meeting, and even had a red-faced fight with a group of army bosses over the budget. Finally, exhausted physically and mentally, he returned home in his Red Rabbit. As soon as I parked the car at my home in Goulan Hutong, I saw Natalie leading her three children, Daheikong and Nalandili to come out to greet them.
The three women also have their own division of labor, and Nalandili is responsible for taking care of the children - all three children seem to like her.
Daheikong respectfully came up to take Zhuge Weidao's bag and coat, bowed at 90 degrees, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Natalie went up and took Zhuge Weidao's arm, and then gave him a passionate kiss, "My dear, dinner has been cooked and I personally prepared it for you. They are all your favorite Beijing dishes."
"That's great!" Zhuge Weidao also kissed Natalie, and then walked into the main room arm in arm with his real wife.
A dining table in the main room has been placed on a round countertop, and a very authentic Beijing brine platter has been placed on it - Zhuge Weidao knew from the smell that it was a takeaway from Shunde Ju, a century-old restaurant in Goulan Hutong.
At this time, Ah Li had already walked in with a basin and a towel. Zhuge Weidao wanted to do it himself, but Natalie took the lead, took out the towel soaked in water, squeezed out the water, and then personally wiped her husband's face. , Zhuge Weidao has enjoyed it in Daheikong, Nalandili, and Ali. But this is the first time that Grand Duchess Natalie is so good at serving others!
Zhuge Weidao glanced at Natalie with satisfaction. Natalie was only in her early twenties this year. Although she gave birth to a child, her figure had recovered extremely well because of her young age and good foundation. She was even a few inches better than before. Mature and charming. Just when she was enjoying what she saw, Natalie brought the water tray to Zhuge Weidao and said, "Honey, wash your hands."
"Okay," Zhuge Weidao washed his hands and asked with a smile, "My dear, is there any program tonight?"
"Yes." Natalie nodded, her cheeks flushed, "The slave family asked sister Dili to make arrangements."
"Oh" Zhuge Weidao couldn't help but laugh. Nalandili is a master of dual cultivation and triple cultivation!
Just as he was happy, Natalie said again: "Dear, is there going to be a world war?"
"What?" Zhuge Weidao was stunned, "Natalie, what did you say?"
Natalie had already put on a worried expression at this time, "Dear, are we, the Ming Empire, going to have a full-scale war break out in the British Empire?"
"Is this what Nicholas wants to know?" Zhuge Weidao looked at his wife.
Natalie did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Yes, he is very unwilling. He also wants to take advantage of the great war between Ming and Great Britain to make a comeback and fight Constantinople again! There may be a bigger plot, but I I don't know, he just told me that he also wanted to capture Constantinople!
And it is said that as far as we know, Rakshasa is not the only country that is unwilling to accept the current situation. Prussia and France are both ready to make a big move. There is also instability within Austria, and the Bonapartists are becoming more and more active! The British only suppressed the situation temporarily, but under their pressure, the volcanoes are still active and may erupt at any time! If they use their main force in the East, there may be an outbreak there in Europe! I think this is what our Zhuge family is looking forward to, right? "
Zhuge Weidao nodded, thinking: "You powers who haven't lost part of your sovereignty are really capable of tossing things around!"
