Although Dahua's reinforcements are of little help in naval battles, they can enhance the security and stability of the rear.
Only when the shore base is guaranteed to be worry-free can the soldiers on the front line dare to take risks.
This is the so-called front-to-back connection, not top-heavy. Even if the naval battle encounters disadvantages, the land base in the rear can maintain the defense.
After Qi Yu's analysis, Li Hongyu immediately understood.
Before, he had always thought that Dahua's rush to help was meaningless, and at best, it was just a bluff. Looking at it now, it is still quite important.
In a war, the battle depends on the overall strength, not a certain local advantage.
Only by taking both front and back into consideration can you have the last laugh.
Not only did Dahua's reinforcements arrive in time, but the logistics troops dispatched by Hong Tao also followed.
Qiong Jun's current posture shows Qi Yu's determination to fight decisively.
Anyone who is familiar with him knows that in the process of unifying Nanyang, he did not mobilize troops like he does now, let alone transport supplies on a large scale.
This shows that he attaches great importance to it.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
This battle almost wiped out all of Qiongzhou's wealth. Whether it was food reserves or emergency armaments, they were all moved over.
Give it your all and spare no effort.
Just kidding, facing an epic super intruder, how could Qi Dalang dare to show any signs of neglect?
The enemy this time is the nine-nation coalition composed of foreign powers. If you dare to be careless, everyone will pay a heavy price.
Only by being careful can you sail the ship of ten thousand years.
After the two arrived, Xiaotong and Hong Tao heard the news and came to see them, and also reported to the emperor the current military affairs situation to Qi Yu.
Gao Zhongde and other old subordinates, who had been away for a long time, also came to see him in a hurry.
In an instant, an atmosphere of joy arose as if old friends were reunited.
After the official handover was completed, it was time to enter private time.
During this section, Qi Dalang specially left his daughter and son-in-law behind to discuss the next military affairs.
As the saying goes, brothers fight like brothers, and father and son fight in battle. To fight against foreign powers, the family should also work together.
However, before starting the discussion, Qi Yuxian gave a brief summary of the situation. At the key point, he specifically mentioned the enemy's lack of food and grass.
"Father, are you saying that there is a pro-China force in Western countries?"
"From the intelligence point of view, this is indeed the case. However, I still can't figure out why those people would kiss us for no reason?"
Could it be that their conscience discovered it?
This is absolutely impossible!
Excluding this, only the possibility of being affected by external forces remains. However, what kind of special external force is needed to achieve such an effect?
Hong Tao has only been to the Rakshasa Kingdom and has never set foot in Europe. Therefore, he is completely unfamiliar with the local customs and political arena there.
However, Xiaotong is different.
She has officially visited overseas countries and has a deep knowledge and full understanding of their politics, humanities, industrial development, and business conditions.
This is why Qi Yu specifically consulted her.
Only those who understand the West have a real say.
Xiaotong thought for a moment, and unexpectedly, she really noticed the clues.
"Father, with your expansion of maritime transportation on the Silk Road, the intersection between Qiongzhou and the outside world is changing with each passing day. From the earliest three items, namely ceramics, tea, and silk, to the present, the cooperation between the two parties can be said to be In addition to all aspects of military affairs. Westerners also indirectly learned about China through these."
"Especially after the cultural export, the image of China has taken on a completely new look, becoming more vivid and concrete. In Europe, wearing Chinese shirts, smoking Chinese cigarettes, and reading Chinese books have become representatives of fashion, and they are still successful. It has become a widespread trend. It can be seen that our Chinese culture has taken root there..."
Qi Xiaotong sought truth from facts and expressed what the European delegation saw and heard in an objective and fair manner.
With the continuous operation of Qiongzhou, Huaxia's influence has reached a new level.
Even so, Qi Yu still felt it was illogical.
Although foreigners recognize and accept our Chinese culture, that does not mean that they will support you politically!
The two races are different from each other and each has its own standpoint. How can they be lumped together?
Xiaotong thought for a while and continued to analyze: "Then, is there a possibility that foreigners' sense of China has exceeded the level of recognition?"
"Transcendence? What do you mean...?" Qi Yu was a little confused and confused.
"Father, when I visited overseas, I specially left Harry there, and asked him to copy the model of founding Christianity in China, package Chinese Confucian culture into doctrines and spread them widely, and finally, let them become the existence of faith. If he achieves this goal, wouldn't he have the potential to transcend?" "This reason is still a bit far-fetched."
Qi Yu shook his head and added: "The European continent is so vast. How could it be possible for him and Harry to develop to such a large scale? This assumption is inconsistent with the facts and should not be accepted."
Xiaotong smiled and said, "Father seems to be looking down on him. Harry can't do anything in person, but he has his own way of preaching."
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"Father, don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly..."
Next, Xiaotong analyzed the logic.
Regarding cultural export, Qiongzhou has taken action very early. Whether it is opening a Confucius Institute or translating Chinese classics, it will play a role in cultural dissemination.
It's just that this kind of thing needs to be stewed slowly over low heat, and it will take time to be effective.
However, now is the time to show the effect.
Another factor is that those foreigners who graduated from the Confucius Institute have now returned to Europe one after another and have begun to serve as disseminators of Chinese culture.
Harry is not a fool. If he starts Confucianism abroad, he will definitely win over and use these people. In this way, wouldn’t it form a scale?
Judging from the current situation, Harry most likely adopted this method.
And once the power of faith is formed, won’t the elbows turn outward?
At the beginning, the Chinese people believed in Catholicism, which is a clear example.
In view of the above, Qi Xiaotong has reason to believe that Harry must be helping secretly and deliberately causing the Tianzhu Army's rescue plan to fail.
The final conclusion is that Harry helped Qiongzhou with the help of his faith.
And this power is the result of cultural export.
Qi Yu thought for a while and nodded: "Your analysis makes sense. Apart from this, there is really no other explanation."
After a pause, he added: "Before, I always thought that only the wind, clouds, water, fire, and mountains and rivers miasma could be regarded as invisible weapons of the military. But now, it seems that another one has to be added. The power of culture is also indispensable. Neglect, at critical moments, can be used as an invisible soldier."
Culture not only has connotative charm, but can also form cross-border beliefs. It can make enemies make peace, it can make enemies rebel, and it is extremely powerful.

Qi Yu himself did not expect that the original cultural export would have such a miraculous effect.
What a great feedback!
