"That night I had a dream, or I entered another world. In that world, I had other parents, relatives, and brothers and sisters.

In that world, I was holding a weapon similar to our current Aka rifle. The armaments in that world were much more advanced than ours, and there were machines flying in the sky. The speed was several times that of our airships. From Beijing to Guangzhou, that is

An hour's time.

There are even things like the tanks we just developed in that world. However, those tanks are much more advanced than our tanks.

In that world, no matter you are thousands of miles away, as long as you have something called a mobile phone in your hand, you can talk in real time. It is more convenient than our telegraph...!

Of course, there are many, many good things in that world. Everything I know and everything I present comes from that world.

Later I woke up, still holding Xiaoyu in my arms. Xiaoyu slept soundly, but I saw that you guys were not asleep. You stared at the cellar door with your dark eyes, for fear that a pair of hands outside would suddenly open the door.

.”

Li Xiao took a drink and fell into the scene deep in his memory, unable to extricate himself.

"A fast-flying machine? It only takes an hour to fly from Beijing to Guangzhou. How many hours does it take to fly from Beijing to Singapore?"

"Well! It will take about three or four hours. If there is such a machine, you can come back and see Huzi one last time."

"Brother, now that we have an airship, can we also build that kind of machine?" Li Xiu's eyes lit up with excitement. As the commander of the navy, he certainly knew what this kind of fast-flying thing represented.

"It can be built, but the engine must be miniaturized. With the current engine power, weight, and size, it is absolutely impossible to carry such a heavy aircraft.

For now, airships are still our best choice. Only after the engine is miniaturized can it be possible to build such a thing.

At that time, it will only take five hours to fly from our Ming capital to the British capital." Li Xiao nodded and said.

"Hey...! It's a pity, it's a pity that our Ming Dynasty doesn't have that kind of thing." Li Xiu sighed helplessly and lit a cigarette.

Nowadays, some prominent figures in the Ming Dynasty are smoking cigars. This is a bad habit passed down by Li Xiao. Only Li Xiu is still smoking cigarettes.

"Yes! You are in charge of the navy. After that thing develops, it can be carried by ships and fly to places other than naval guns to attack warships.

After that thing comes out, your big ships and big guns will be completely useless. Because others can bomb you wildly, but you don't even have the chance to fight back.

What's even more terrible is that there is something similar to a rocket launcher that can hit enemy ships with high accuracy. As long as that thing is launched, it can kill people thousands of miles away.

Of course, it must carry something called a nuclear weapon. Just one bomb can cause hundreds of thousands of casualties in an instant.

In my world, only Japan suffered such a misfortune. The two cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were razed to the ground in an instant, and the scenes were so tragic that it is unimaginable."

"Japan! They..., why!" Li Xiu said he didn't understand. In his eyes, Japanese people were like huskies, little different from pets.

"Because in that world, the Japanese country had industrialized early and its national power improved rapidly, even surpassing our Ming Dynasty by a lot.

The island country has few people, and the Japanese people have the ambition to invade our country, the Ming Dynasty."

"Invasion of our Ming Dynasty?" Li Xiu could not imagine that those obedient and cute Japanese people would dare to invade the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes! They really did this. They also committed a heinous crime in Jinling. They slaughtered 300,000 people. The scene was absolutely tragic beyond your imagination." Li Xiao's long and leisurely voice was distant and empty.

At least in the eyes of people like Li Xiu, Japanese people are humble and always polite to others. The word "Japanese pirates" is already a legendary story for the younger generation of Ming people like Li Xiu.

In fact, this is also true. The Japanese people in the Ming Dynasty are definitely good people who abide by the law. They have never even touched the butt of a mare. For the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese people admire and respect them from the bottom of their hearts.

During the Ming Dynasty, businessmen who went to Japan to do business would receive the most considerate protection from the government, and they would be looked upon with admiration wherever they went.

"How dare the Japanese people be so arrogant?" Li Xiu found it unbelievable. If in this era, the Japanese people dared to show any disrespect to the Ming Dynasty, the destruction of the country would be a matter of time.

How dare you commit such evil deeds in Jinling? Even if an ordinary Ming businessman was harmed in Japan, the consul stationed in Japan would point at the noses of Tokugawa Katsuyori or Mouri Hidemoto and ask them for the murderer.

"Yes! From our perspective, it is hard to imagine that the Japanese could do such a thing. But in that world, we not only did it, but we did it extremely well. In those ten years,

The Japanese people did almost all the evil things they could do.

In that world, China and Japan were neighboring countries, but they were also enemies for generations. And this hatred could never be eliminated."

"Hmph! They dare. As long as they dare to show any disrespect to the Ming Dynasty, my marines will march down Kyoto." Li Xiu said domineeringly.

Li Xiao smiled helplessly. In another world, many people said similar things. For example, if you lend me three thousand urban management officials, I will destroy Tokyo.

But in fact, those people can only talk and entertain themselves mentally!

Li Xiu was different. He said that he would definitely do this if he wanted to destroy the eastern capital. The more than 300,000 wolf-like marines under his command were definitely a nightmare for any country's military.

Especially in recent years, the Japanese army has been almost emasculated. The wealthy life has completely corroded the spirit of the samurai. Relying on the land, the samurai live a very prosperous life. They can live a life of eating, drinking and having fun every day without having to fight or kill.

, of course the samurai will have spleens.

The years of peace easily destroyed the creed that the samurai had adhered to for thousands of years. There were very few people left who could persevere and live the rigid life of the samurai.

The main reason is that the samurai see no hope. Judging from the current situation, even if the samurai are extremely powerful in martial arts, they will not be a match for firearms. Moreover, he cannot see any hope of peace being broken.

The future of the samurai burst like a soap bubble. Without motivation, the gentle land of drunkenness, dreams, death, and gentleness immediately became the most suitable destination.

This is only a few years, if it takes more than ten years, decades.

If these days pass for too long, the samurai class based on powerful martial arts will collapse. As long as those guys who fight endlessly for their lives fall, and when profit-seeking businessmen become the backbone of the nation, this nation will no longer have

The hope of becoming stronger.

"Yes! They don't dare, because we are strong enough. Tomorrow you go and see the improved new tank. That thing... haha, it will dominate land wars for decades.

The title "King of Land Warfare" hangs on that thing's head, and it is a well-deserved title. Imagine that when your troops are still fighting linearly in the trenches, suddenly there is a troop that can easily destroy machine guns and barbed wire.

Tear a hole in your battle line, and then the enemy troops will pour into the battle line like a flood. Their traveling speed is about the same as that of the cavalry, but their impact is much greater than that of the cavalry."

"Haha! During the last European War, I went to the battlefield to observe. Trench trenches stretched for dozens or hundreds of kilometers. Countless barbed wire fences and machine guns formed death camps.

If the attacking side wants to have even a modicum of success, it must pay the price of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of casualties. Moreover, this is despite high-density artillery preparations being carried out before the war.

Looking at those soldiers, they rushed up like locusts and were swept down one by one. I felt a chill running down my spine!

In fact, our weapons are now almost the same as those of European countries. At most, the performance of our weapons is a little better than theirs, but our tactics are similar.

When I think about our soldiers falling piece by piece in such a fearless charge, I feel chills all over my body."

"With tanks, our soldiers will charge in armored vehicles. Ordinary machine gun bullets will not be able to hurt them at all.

Moreover, tracked vehicles have relatively little demand on roads.

After the armored vehicles break through the enemy's positions, they will quickly destroy the enemy's artillery positions, communication centers, headquarters, supply depots, etc.

Once the frontline troops lose unified command and coordination, communication methods, and logistical supplies, we don’t need to attack them. They will collapse on their own as long as they surround them for a few days. By then, you will face thousands of prisoners.

.

In the world in my dream, Prussia and Russia fought a war in Ukraine. Prussia used this method of warfare in that battle, and 600,000 Russians were captured alone.

As far as the results are concerned, it is absolutely brilliant. As long as we make good use of the tank force now, this glory will become just around the corner. The only constraint now is that the armored force is particularly dependent on ammunition and oil supplies.

Zu Chengxun and his people are thinking of a way, maybe I can also think of a way. But for now, we can implement this tactic within 200 kilometers."

"Two hundred kilometers? That's enough. According to what I saw in the European War, most of the defense depths are no more than ten kilometers, let alone two hundred kilometers. As long as there is a distance of one hundred kilometers, we can create a war with Prussia.

The results of the battle are the same as those of ordinary people." Li Xiu's eyes lit up with excitement. Like Li Xiao, he couldn't stand the massive casualties among the soldiers.

Now that he has this kind of god-level tactics, he naturally forgets everything. In his heart, Li Xiu is just like Li Xiao, full of fanaticism for war and plunder.

Considering the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, which was engaged in massive infrastructure construction, plundering wealth abroad to subsidize domestic production was indeed the only way to go.

To use an old Chinese proverb, a horse will not grow fat without night and grass will not grow fat, and people and I will not be rich in external wealth.

What has supported the continuous development of Ming Dynasty over the years is the continuous plundering of resources and wealth from abroad to subsidize the huge domestic consumption.

"Well! You go to the Weapons Research Institute, see more, and learn more. Tanks will be mass-produced soon. I have approved the construction of three tank factories in Jinzhou, Jinzhou, and Anshan.

In three years, these tank factories will form large-scale production. In four to five years, our troops will gradually be equipped with tanks and armored vehicles.

The large-scale use of tanks and armored vehicles requires a suitable opportunity. An opportunity to break the deadlock, an opportunity to avenge Zu Dashou."

"Revenge for Zu Dashou? Brother, are you saying you are going to take action against the Russians?"

"Well! The Russians are behind Zu Dashou. We will not let go of the Mongols, and naturally we will not let the Russians go. Moreover, Lvzhu has found out that Dorgon and Jilharang are in Russia.

Russia's rapid technological advancement in the past two years is entirely due to Wu Sangui's legacy in India. What we have to do now is to destroy Russia's war potential and vigor."

"But you just said that it will take four to five years to complete the equipment of an armored force composed of tanks and armored vehicles, which is a bit too long."

"Zu Kuan and Cao Bianjiao are already forming armored regiments. I said it will take four to five years to equip large-scale equipment. But it only takes about two years to form two armored regiments.

Therefore, the area to be invested this time must be small. So small that only two armored regiments can be dispatched to attack!

Do you remember the brutal battle between the Ottoman Empire and Russia over Sevastopol?"

"Remember! That was before we invaded the Ottoman Empire. Both sides invested hundreds of thousands of troops in Crimea to fight. In the end, the Russians defeated the Ottoman Empire.

It was precisely because of the defeat by the Russians that the Ottoman Empire was severely weakened, and we took the opportunity to capture Constantinople."

"Well! That's it, we are going to restart the Crimean War. After you go back, the first thing you do is to train the Ottoman Empire army.

And give them some equipment, equipment that can at least confront the Russian army.

The second thing is to seize control of the Black Sea.

This shouldn’t be difficult for you!”

"Seizing control of the Black Sea can be accomplished within a month. However, training the Ottoman Empire's army is estimated to take at least half a year.

We were a little harsh on the Ottomans at the beginning, so that they almost lost all their men who were good at fighting. It was not easy to arm these people."

"If there are still Kurds, we can arm the Kurds and tell their leaders that as long as they capture Crimea, I will allow the Kurds to establish an independent country.

Also tell the Ottoman Sultan that if he cannot win this war, I will support the Kurds in occupying Constantinople."

"What a great idea. This way the Kurds and the Ottoman Sultan will definitely go all out."
