Xishan, Beijing, the command center of the Ming Dynasty General Staff Headquarters.
In the huge hall, a huge world map was hung on a tall and wide wall. Staff officers are constantly marking red or blue arrows and dots on this huge map, pasting up the map to the point where anyone would be dizzy at first sight. But as long as those who really understand it take a few more glances, the situation in today's world will become very clear.
Several important officials of the Ming Dynasty, including Zheng Guozhong, the left prime minister, Zhuge Weiyi, the right prime minister, Zhuge Wei, the naval minister, Liu Quanzhong, the military minister, Li Tieshan, the army chief, and Lin Zexu, the foreign minister, all stood in front of this large map. The newly appointed Chief of Naval Staff, Zhuge Youmo, was holding a baton and explaining the current situation to these important Ming ministers.
Zheng Guozhong, Prime Minister Zheng Da, stared at the stick carefully. As the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty's wartime cabinet and the leader of the Zheng family, he certainly could not tell others that he was not interested in fighting. This kind of stick was covered with arrows, lines, and dots. The situation map was like a holy book to him. Especially Zhuge Youmo, who always talks about some strange places, such as the Andaman Sea, the Maluku Strait, and the Truk West Lake (lagoon)... He is quite familiar with Hangzhou West Lake. , where does he have a big house! What Truksi Lake (lagoon), where is it? There is also a small "West Lake", how can it possibly hold an entire fleet of the Pacific Fleet?
However, with Zhuge Youmo's final summary, Zheng Guozhong finally understood the current situation.
The current situation looks chaotic, but it is actually not complicated. It is to find the main force of the British Royal Navy, the Indian Fleet...find them out, beat them up first, and then encircle them from all directions and eliminate them all. , and then you can hit wherever you want.
And this genius plan now encounters a small trouble - I don't know where the British Indian fleet has gone?
Five days ago, the main force of the Indian fleet took advantage of the darkness and quietly left the Colombo Port, and then disappeared into the vast Indian Ocean. The Western Fleet's first naval battle had long been lurking in the Great Strait. After receiving the news, it went out to search for the enemy one to two hundred nautical miles southeast of Ceylon. The Admiral of the Western Fleet, Li Chenghui, personally led the main force out of the Danmasik base and marched westward to the Andaman Sea, posing as if he was going to attack Ceylon Island, hoping to lure the Indian fleet to a decisive battle.
However, Li Chenghui's large fleet wandered around the Andaman Sea for two days without seeing any trace of the British large fleet. As a last resort, he could only lead the main force of the Western Fleet westward out of the Shidu Strait, join the first naval battle of the Western Fleet commanded by Major General Zhuge Yangchao, and approach Ceylon together.
But the Indian Ocean Fleet still did not show up...
However, the General Staff did not place all its hopes on the Western Fleet. At the same time that Li Chenghui sent troops, Guan Taipei also received an order from the General Staff and commanded the Nanyang Fleet to split into two groups and leave the Wenlai Bay base. Among them, Guan Taipei led the main force southward to near the eastern exit of the Malacca Strait, while Zhuge Yangyong, the commander-in-chief of the aviation unit under Guan Tianpei, led the first aviation battle of the Western Fleet and lurked in the Makassar Strait east of Borneo Island - General Staff There are also capable people inside, and of course they would think that the British fleet might bypass Sumatra and then pass through the Lombok Strait or Sunda, enter the Java Sea, and attack the oil fields in southern Borneo. ….
However, Guan Tianpei and Zhuge Yangyong lurked for three or four days and did not find the main force of the British Indian Fleet. Planes and airships taking off from Sumatra Island circle around the Indian Ocean every day, but they also find nothing... The Indian Ocean is really too big to search!
"Hey, if you can't find it, stop searching!"
After listening to Zhuge Youmo's introduction, Zheng Guozhong waved his hand and said: "Since your navy can't search such a large area, why are you doing all this useless work?"
"Prime Minister," Zhuge Wei, the Minister of the Navy, spread his hands, "then you can tell us what we should do?"
"We can take the initiative!" Zheng Guozhong said, "Let the Western Fleet attack Ceylon, the Nanyang Fleet attack Java, the Pacific Fleet attack...anywhere! Don't we have more ships? Then we can simply divide our forces into several groups and launch an attack. I don’t believe that the British will remain unmoved and just watch our fleet carry out the attack.
Take down Lan, Java, and all those little bits and pieces in the South Pacific! "
After listening to Zheng Guozhong's words, Right Chancellor Zhuge Weiyi, Admiralty Secretary Zhuge Weiyong, and Chief of Naval Staff Zhuge Youmo were all stunned. The three Zhuge military advisors had counted and counted with their fingers, and they had already calculated all kinds of things. They have calculated all the possibilities - they have even calculated that the British fleet may make a major detour, bypassing the southern continent and entering Port Moresby, and then launch an attack in the direction of the Hawaiian Islands after a period of rest. So the three of them asked Zhuge Weidao to send a team to the Truk Lagoon just in case...
But now Prime Minister Zheng Guozhong and Zheng Da came up with a way to defeat the chaos fist - beat the old master to death with chaos fist! Isn’t the British Empire just a weak old master? If you play tricks with him, he might be able to hold on for a while. If you throw a random punch, he might knock the British Empire down.
"With such a strategy, the siege will be broken!" At this time, Liu Quanzhong, the Minister of War, said with his beard, "If we fight randomly, can't the British concentrate their main force to fight with us?"
"Yes!" Zhuge Weiyang nodded, "They don't care which way we go, they just need to concentrate the main force and come all the way!"
Zhuge Weiyi said: "This is how we divide our troops and let the British unite to fight together!"
"Is this possible?" Liu Quanzhong asked.
Zhuge Youmo said: "I think it's okay... The British veterans have concentrated their troops in India, and that's probably what they're planning on doing! We might as well play a trick and give them a chance!"
"Can we win?" Zheng Guozhong asked.
"It's okay to hurt both sides!" Zhuge Youmo said with confidence, "We use one-third of the main force to fight against all their elites... to make it hurt both sides, we still have the other two-thirds to use. Enough to conquer Java and Australia!"
Zhuge Weiyi added: "And our shipbuilding ability has far surpassed that of the British and foreigners... There is nothing to be afraid of if we destroy a large fleet. The worst is to build it again!"
Zheng Guozhong glanced at his think tank Lin Zexu. Lin Zexu nodded and said: "Players who have big capital and are not afraid of losing can always take advantage of the poker table... Besides, our poker skills are not bad either. .”
[To be honest, I have been using @@ recently to read and catch up on updates, change sources, and have many reading sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
"It makes sense!" Zheng Guozhong said with a smile, "That's the truth!"
He is familiar with playing cards...
Zhuge Weiyong nodded towards Zhuge Youmo, and Zhuge Youmo said: "In that case, then order the Western Fleet to attack Ceylon Island! Order the two teams of the Nanyang Fleet to meet in the Java Sea and attack Java together! As for The Pacific Fleet... you can ask Zhuge Daozi for his opinion. The Pacific Fleet is the main force in this battle, and Australia is the main attack. You still have to listen to Daozi himself on how to fight."
Zhuge Weiyong nodded and said: "Then send electricity to Zhuge Daozi and ask him how he wants to fight? Should he recall his first flight and attack Australia together?".
