Chapter 701 America is about to explode
Whether it was Tokugawa Yoshinao and Luo Jia Budu in the early days, or Philip and Ibrahim now, when they faced Zhu Youdong, they were very wise and did not think about conquering China entirely by pure military means. Their goal
, all through various kinds of coercion, causing problems in China, and then allowing the Chinese to overthrow their emperor.
Perhaps Rachabudur and Ibrahim don't know much about Chinese history. But for Tokugawa Yoshinao and Philip, who took the dominant positions in the two anti-China alliances, they both have a relatively clear understanding of Chinese history.
Looking at the two times that China was completely conquered by foreigners, as well as the loss of half of the country in the late Western Jin Dynasty and the late Northern Song Dynasty, the common point is that there was a big problem within China. It is the 20th century in the historical plane. If China at that time had been in the 1920s,
If we unite as one, what will happen to the eight-year war of resistance that follows?
In short, the only effective way to conquer China is to cause chaos within it!
Therefore, when Philip arrived at this time, the measures he took were very clear: the navy bypassed Singapore and exerted extreme pressure on the countries along the South China Sea and even the various provinces of the Ming Dynasty. The army landed on the Indochina Peninsula - yes, the equipment of the EU Army needs to be obtained from
The European continent has been transported thousands of miles away, and this logistics supply line is much longer than that of the Ming Dynasty. But again, with sea control in hand, the EU's annual transportation volume can exceed one million tons. And even if the Central-Southern Railway of the Ming Dynasty is fully opened to traffic,
Its initial designed annual transportation capacity was only 200,000 tons.
When the time comes, I will dismember your vassal states in Southeast Asia and block your sea trade. Then I will make you lose all prestige and your economy will collapse to see if your subjects will abandon you.
As for asking Osman to send troops to Xinjiang, to be honest, Philip had no hope at all that he could achieve much results along the way. The reason why Osman had to do this was, on the one hand, to firmly bind Ibrahim to his chariot.
On the one hand, of course it was because of Ottoman’s beliefs.
Regarding the enemy's moves, Zhu Youdong guessed Philip's strategy. He had never thought of Osman's strategy. However, even if after a while, news of an enemy invasion in Xinjiang came, he was not afraid: the Ming Dynasty Lan
The new railway has been completed and opened to traffic. In terms of logistical support, the Ming Dynasty has completely defeated the Ottomans. Even among the people, the Ming Dynasty has never given priority to **** or even religion. The Xingyue believers of the Ming Dynasty are the people of the Ming Dynasty first, and then the Xingyue believers.
.
Faced with the enemy's persecution and unable to regain control of the sea in a short period of time, his countermeasure is: to jump out of the heart of East Asia? In the corners of the Americas.
…
August 15, 1640? Two Ming fleets met on the sea about 80 kilometers southwest of Lima, South America.
"The humble Cao becomes Peng, see General Du."
"Excuse me? Good nephew? What good things did you bring to me this time?"
"According to the emperor's order, I will lead two heavy cruisers, six destroyers and 300 transport ships of various types to sail directly to the Americas. The order from the Privy Council to Beizi is that after seeing General Du, I will hand over the command to Du.
The general's subordinates obey orders. In addition, there is a regiment of special forces in the transport fleet, led by the humble cousin Colonel Cao Bianjiao. The cousin also has a decree in his hand. After seeing His Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, read it directly to His Highness?
."
"I'm not going to ask about the emperor's decree to His Highness? What kind of heavy cruiser or destroyer?"
"Oh, please forgive me for not making it clear in advance. According to the order of the new Privy Council envoy, Admiral Yan Siqi, starting from the 22nd year of the Apocalypse, the warships of our navy will be newly divided into battleships, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers according to their tonnage and functions.
Lightning strike ships... minelayers, etc. The two heavy cruisers that I brought this time? The Zhejiang and Fujian are both 5,000-ton battleships that have just been commissioned."
"Oh? It's the big ship we talked about before."
"Uh, General Du? There is still a slight difference. These two new ships have all been electrified. The lighting and ventilation inside the ship are much better than those of the previous big ships. And the use of searchlights also makes these two ships better.
Warships have the ability to actively search for enemies and sail near shore at night. In addition, the six new destroyers brought to the base are all equipped with torpedo launchers."
"Torpedo launcher? What is that?"
"This is something newly developed by everyone at Fangshan Academy of Sciences... In short, the firing range of this torpedo is a bit closer, and the speed is a bit slow. However, once it hits, the 10,000-ton giant ship of the Western Thieves will be seriously injured even if it does not sink.
."
"I see. Hey, I have only been in America for half a year, and I am already a little ignorant. Okay, where is your transport fleet hidden? Good guy, there are 300 transport ships. Has the Emperor finally made up his mind to fight in America this time?"
"Bizhi placed the transport fleet in the waters near a small island about 160 nautical miles away from here. The cargo on the ship was all arms. I heard from officials of the Ministry of National Defense that this batch of arms is enough to arm ten army divisions.
And it can conduct at least three battles involving more than 100,000 people."
"Hahaha, good! I can finally show off my talents here. Hey, don't tell me, it's been very frustrating to spend half a year here thinking about how to avoid the opponent's Prince. Well, left and right, hurry up
Contact Colonel Cao’s staff as soon as possible to formulate a response and unloading plan.”
"As you command!"
The coastlines of North and South America are really too long, and one Prince simply cannot control all the coastlines. Therefore, although because of the existence of the Prince, the Ming Dynasty's army in the Americas was unable to capture the Spanish coastal cities in the Americas, nor could it openly carry out the
Transportation. However, it has never been very difficult for Ming Dynasty to transport materials into the rebel base areas in America.
"If there is a decree, Zhu Ciyi will accept it."
"My son, Zhu Ciyi, respectfully sends his greetings."
"Saint Gong'an... Zhao said that the emperor's eldest son, Ciyi, has taken the lead in serving America and has made outstanding achievements. I am very pleased. However, the eldest son of the imperial dynasty is already twenty-two years old and has not yet been married. So, with
The etiquette and law are inconsistent, and I have been repeatedly reprimanded by the Empress Dowager for this. I ordered the eldest son of the emperor, Ciyi, to return to the country immediately on the day of receiving the order and marry the eldest daughter of the American Superintendent Sun Chuanting..."
"My sons and ministers receive orders."
On September 10, after leading more than 3,000 "junior special forces" into the American rebel base in the Andes Mountains, the first thing Cao Bianjiao did was to declare to Zhu Ciyan: Your grandmother whispers in the emperor's ears all day long, and the emperor can't stand it.
Well, go back and get married as soon as possible.
After receiving such an imperial edict and facing a crowd of ministers who gathered to congratulate him and Sun Chuanting, Zhu Ciyi felt unhappy.
It's not that he has any dissatisfaction with his wife who has never been masked: as a prince, he has long known that he cannot make the decision on his own marriage. And speaking of it, in the past five years in America, he has been deeply impressed by Sun Chuanting's talents.
, impressed by his magnanimity and charisma. He has no objection at all to having such an outstanding person as his father-in-law.
Besides, seeing how handsome Sun Chuanting is, will his daughter be ugly? So, what’s the dissatisfaction with Miss Sun? That doesn’t exist.
He was unhappy mainly because at this time, the internal construction of the American Rebel Base was almost complete. After acquiring a large amount of arms, it was about to explode.
After five years of hard work, he was about to reap the rewards. But now, because of the imperial grandmother’s repeated nagging, his father couldn’t bear it and wanted to return home to get married?
Nothing is more uncomfortable than this.
"Hey, Colonel Cao, let's not talk about other things for now. Can you tell me what this special forces soldier means?"
"Your Highness, your Majesty, the special forces were ordered by the Emperor himself, and then you and Zuo Mengeng tried to create a newly established unit. In the words of the Emperor, this unit is to gather the best soldiers from each unit and use the best equipment.
, do the most arduous training and complete the most difficult tasks.”
After saying this, Cao Bianjiao pulled a man about forty or fifty years old from his side: "Your Highness, this is Wang Shunwen, a first-class sergeant in our Ming Army. He joined Henghaiwei during the Wanli period and specialized in sniping. Twenty
Over the years, in various battles, 896 enemy officers and soldiers have fallen under his gun. He is the well-deserved sniper king of our Ming Army. Now, he serves as a sniper in the 1st Special Forces Regiment.
Instructor, this is the first point the emperor said, the concrete manifestation of gathering the kings of soldiers from all branches in one place. Then." He asked Wang Shunwen to take off the long gun wrapped on his back: "Your Highness, this Apocalypse Twenty Years Rifle,
It is a specially customized version. In addition to the special scope, such as gun sling, cleaning tools, soft ammunition bags, dust cover, folding stock, adjustable cheek plate, etc., all are made by our craftsmen according to the user's personal specifications.
Tailor-made to your situation and preferences.”
"This is the best equipment, right? And what about training?"
"Yes, Your Highness. The training of the special forces is very hard and comprehensive. The soldiers of Ruchen's regiment are all the most famous soldiers in the original armies of our Ming Dynasty's existing standing army of 500,000. After gathering here,
Learn from each other and improve each other. Now, in addition to being the best in the army in individual combat ability, my soldiers are also good at hiding, camouflage, swimming, mechanical maintenance... almost everything."
"I see, I can already imagine what role they will play on the battlefield in the future. Oh, what a pity..."
"What's your regret, Your Highness?"
"It's not that I feel pity for your soldiers, I feel pity for myself." After a long sigh, Zhu Ciyan said: "In the past five years that I have been in America, what I have actually done is the work of the general political commissar of the American Rebel Army. Colonel Cao has just arrived.
From the perspective of handover, Gu also wants to explain it to you."
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."
"In the past five years, although we were forced to abandon the big cities along the coast because of the Western Pirates' ship, the Prince. But in fact, in the past five years, we have developed extremely well in the Andes. At present, the entire base area has
It has expanded to a larger area of more than 1,000 kilometers long and 200 kilometers wide, approximately 200,000 square kilometers. There are more than 600,000 soldiers and civilians gathered in the entire base area, and 120,000 young men suitable for enlistment.
In terms of food, we have achieved self-sufficiency.
In terms of military armaments, all men of appropriate age have undergone the most basic military training. In the words of Governor Sun, the level of training of these Indians is now no less than that of the young men of Ming Dynasty who entered the new military camp half a year ago.
We have already built a firearms repair factory, a small bomb powder manufacturing factory, a clothing factory, and a military can preparation factory in the base area.
In terms of political commissar work, there are 600,000 people in the entire base area. Except for a few older Indians, other ordinary Indians can communicate with us in simple Chinese without any obstacles. More importantly, by learning Chinese,
The original barriers between these people from various tribes have disappeared, and all of them have established the concept of fighting for the independence and happiness of the Indians."
Looking leisurely into the distance to the west, a contemptuous smile appeared on Zhu Ciyi's lips: "Cromwell, who was stationed in Lima, often organized so-called encirclement and suppression campaigns in the past few years, but in the past one or two years, he has
I have no intention of entering the mountainous area of my base area. Haha, I know that the king of the Western Bandits has captured India, but when the main force enters Asia, Cromwell becomes a rootless tree here and cannot easily afford to lose soldiers.
."
"So." He spread his hands: "Look, now you and your brothers have brought so much arms, enough to arm all the 120,000 young men in the base area. And then add the Ming Dynasty who were originally stationed here.
One division, and your special forces regiment. If I bite the bullet again and ask the Indian youths above the age of sixteen and below the age of eighteen to add more, I can get a full 150,000 people and an army of ten divisions! Yes.
The army is an elite division that has undergone complete military training, is fully armed with ideas, and has no shortage of guns, artillery and ammunition! Such an army, led by Governor Sun, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, rushed down the mountain, and Karen
Can Will be able to stop him? Things are about to change in America. And my father is asking Gu to return home at this time... ugh..."
"I understand your Highness's regret. Your Highness said it lightly, but it can make hundreds of thousands of Indians learn, master Chinese, and agree with our ideas. Even though I am just a pure martial artist, I can imagine it.
It is difficult. And I am convinced that on the day when America becomes independent from the Western invaders, the nearly tens of millions of people here will remember His Highness’s efforts and kindness given to them over the years.”
"Hahaha, why did you come to comfort me? That's all. When I was in the Ming Dynasty, Mr. Li once taught me a saying, success does not have to be mine, but success must be mine. We are all emperors
