Although the Kushan naval strength was the best in this era, in essence, all empires these days were continental empires, including those with inland seas like Rome, and land-powered empires. The navy was just a necessary supplement to combat power.

In fact, before the rise of the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Britain, and the United States, the land power empire was the core force that ruled the world.

The large land power empires that went forward were not unable to afford warships, but the land power empires were all aware of their foundation.

The empires that could be formed earlier were all large in size, with super large grain production land, enough population, sufficient strategic depth, etc., and the demand for maritime rights was not very sufficient.

For these empires, most of the things they need can be obtained from their homeland and have no practical significance in opening up the ocean.

The sea power empire was basically forced. Except for the United States that appeared in the end, everyone in front was no longer available on the mainland, so they could only bite the bullet and rush.

In essence, when these sea power empires rushed to the ocean, their warships and navigation technology were basically inferior to those of the land power empires of the same era.

Of course, the US imperialists are indeed in terms of external existences, huge local areas. Even if there are problems such as climate and lack of horizontal mountains, they can be withdrawn from the local area for consolidation after the collapse of maritime power.

Sometimes the destiny is indeed quite strange. Of course, on the other hand, choosing the route of the sea power empire means that after the Eurasian sector decides the heavenly choice, the US imperialists can only learn from the overlord of the era, Da Ying, to engage in offshore balance.

However, the British messenger was disturbing the EU at that time, and the US imperialists had to disturb the entire Eurasian continent when they really reached that point.

However, if you compare the size of the two eras, the difference is actually not very big.

To put it bluntly, the advantages of the continental empire are stability, and they do not need any strategic fulcrum above the ocean. They pay attention to a big force and fly bricks, relying on their internal strength to kill the opponent. The route of the Sea Power Empire is a strategic fulcrum. Relying on these fulcrums to complete the global layout. If you compare it with martial arts, the continental empire is power, and the Sea Power Empire is a coincidence.

This is why continental empires can generally afford to lose, and once the sea power empire loses, it will be an alternation of hegemony, because there are so many strategic fulcrums in the world. If this one is grabbed, that one will disappear, and there is no concept of coexistence.

At this juncture of the third century, there was no sea power empire. The Kushan navy was extremely strong. Even in official history, it was outrageous that it could run to Malaysia, Sumatra and other places to build cities around the third century. However, the development of the Kushan navy was still not the development method of the sea power empire.

Whether it was Selian or Mengkangbu, as long as there was a person who had the awareness of the sea power empire, he would not simply be stationed in the Strait of Malacca to blockade, but would make arrangements on one island after another, constantly encircling and suppressing the living space of the Han navy.

It is precisely because of this lack of this thinking that even though the Kushan Navy has developed very well, the value of its strategic support has not been exerted before Monkamp occupied Ceylon Island.

By the time Monkamp captured Ceylon Island and had the awareness of strategic support points, it was actually a bit late. The situation facing Kushan was already difficult to provide a large amount of resources to the navy.

It is true that the continuous shipbuilding materials brought from Rome solved the problem of insufficient warships of Monkampbu, but the armored frigates of the Han Dynasty had already been on the field when they fought.

Although it is not a large warship with all-steel structure, even if it is just a 2,000-ton all-steel frigate, after being warmed up and etched into various large defenses and impact array patterns, the main gun used by the Kushan flagship hits directly and cannot sink it. What level of defense ability is this?

This incident had a great impact on Meng Kangbu. You should know that before, the Han Dynasty and the Kushan ships basically did not have the ability to face the opponent's naval guns.

Even if various secret techniques were used, they basically had no basis for hard resistance in the face of the essence of heaven and earth - electromagnetic rail guns and air rail guns. Therefore, earlier, no matter what, the navies on both sides were still at a balanced level in terms of firepower. As a result, since Zhou Yu took out the Australian iron ore and produced a batch of all-steel frigates for himself, the two sides had obviously distanced themselves in defense capabilities.

Later, Meng Kangbu also suggested that Kushan build an all-steel frigate and then put steel plates on the new generation of flagships. Unfortunately, Kushan does not lack high-grade iron ore, but it lacks high-level smelting technology.

Even the smallest five standard frigates with a displacement of 2,000 tons plus flagship armor require more than 10,000 tons of steel. The annual steel output of Kushan cannot even reach half of this data. Including the production of pig iron, it will reach 10,000 tons.

Not to mention Kushan, Rome visited the shipyard in the Han Dynasty last year. Although the core technology was not disclosed, it was really seen by the all-steel frigate. As a result, Pomponi felt that it seemed that it was useless to see it and it was impossible to build it!

After the Celtic Forge, Rome's steel output barely reached more than 10,000 tons in one year. The problem is that the steel output these days is not the crude steel of later generations, but even pig iron is calculated together, and most of them are pig iron.

Rome and Kushan have both achieved steel production of 10,000 tons, but the question is how much of their steel production of 10,000 tons is steel, and there is still a question mark.

Because of the special ore in Kushan, it can directly produce Uzi Steel, a world's top-level steel before the 17th century. However, whether the annual output of Uzi Steel is 3,000 tons is a problem. If other steels are included, the steel output may not be half-pi.

The Rome was even worse. The steel output of 10,000 tons may be only about 3,000 tonnes, and the rest are pig iron that needs to be repeatedly forged. The Celtics did have extremely high attainments in smelting. They can be repeatedly forged and transformed pig iron into steel during forging, so that the steel output in Rome will increase year by year. Otherwise, they can play with bronze!

As for the Han Dynasty, after experiencing a 13,000 tons of steel gap created in a year during the reign of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang, Chen Xi increased the steel output to an annual output of 96,000 tons during the new round of expansion of the smelting department in July 9th year of Yuanfeng.

However, the problem now is that after the steel production reached 96,000 tons, the annual steel demand gap further increased to 27,000 tons, and Chen Xi had no choice.

As for the current situation of the Han Dynasty, according to Chen Xi's preliminary calculation, it takes 300,000 tons of steel production just to barely meet the necessary steel demand, and to fully meet the steel demands of the Han Dynasty people in all aspects, it takes about 10 million tons.

If you can lie down, even Chen Xi will not be able to get this data to tens of millions of tons in the next ten years.

But even so, the data of up to 96,000 tons is enough to scare other countries to death. This is why the court opened privately this time without Rome being invited.

After all, steel output can be directly linked to the country's combat effectiveness in most cases, and the Han Dynasty now accounts for about 80% of the world's steel output. If only steel is calculated, the Han Dynasty may exceed 90%.

No matter how much Chen Xi complained about the fact that the steelmaking method made by the soil is garbage steel, he has to admit that as long as the steel furnace is greater than 4 square meters, the steel yield rate will be greater than 50%, and the larger the manufacturing, the higher the steel yield rate will be.

It can be said that in terms of hard power, Chen Xi has completely crushed Rome and Kushan to death, and directly let them understand that even if your intelligence system receives relevant information and sees something, you will not be able to solve any problem.

As the current patriarch of the Sisi family and the commander of the Western Indian Ocean Fleet, Ansar directly drove the entire Western Indian Ocean Navy in, and had a last try. In case of failure, the meaning of leaving a ignition is left. There is no way. After the ships with all-steel structure in the Han Dynasty appeared, Ansar knew that he could not win.

After all, the navy is a technical group of warships that account for half of the technical and military forces. When warships are obviously in modern times, no matter how good the soldiers' skills and tactics are, no matter how correct the commander's judgment is, it will not solve any problem.

What's more, Ansar could see that the only advantage they had in the navy was the soldiers' skills and tactics. In terms of naval warships, at most they only maintained that there was no generational difference. In terms of command, Zhou Yu's judgment and decision-making ability showed made Ansar a little silent. He could protect himself at most when facing Zhou Yu at the same scale.

Therefore, when the all-steel warships really appeared, the Kushan could not keep up, and the navy would definitely lose a big loss.

Without the navy, once the Kushan coastal defense is broken, the Han army's troop transport ships can land on a large scale, and the Kushans will be unable to fight. Therefore, if the Kushan wants to solve the problem, it must directly kill Zhou Yu before the Han Dynasty's all-steel warship appears.

Or if the Kushan lacks materials, relying on other solutions to upgrade its own fleet, barely catching up with the Han Dynasty fleet, and not causing a generational gap.

The former is difficult, and the latter is difficult.

After Ansar discussed with Mengkangbu, he handed over Zhou Yu to Mengkangbu, and he saw if he could find other ways to strengthen the warships.

Of course Ansar knew very well that this method was no less than drinking poison to quench thirst. Ships strengthened by secret techniques or special etching would sooner or later spread to the Han Dynasty.

Just like the strengthening brought by warmth, it is an example of the strong being always strong. The warm-raising wooden sword can cut off the iron sword without warmth, and can even chop against the Hundred Forge Steel Sword that has not yet been warmthed. However, when the latter is warmthed to the limit, the substantial gap between the wooden sword and the iron sword will naturally be reflected.

The same kind of reinforcement that can be used by wooden ships and iron-clad ships can also be used. The gap will only become bigger and bigger. However, the Han Dynasty's pure method of using force to break tricks, the Kushan really has no way to resist, so he can only bite the bullet. As for developing new tactics, there is no difference in essence. If you create these things, the other party will apply what they have learned.

The problem is that the material problem that I want to solve most cannot be solved.

The material problem cannot be solved. All the secret techniques, secret techniques, etching, array patterns, etc. are essentially just passing the foundation to the Han Dynasty.

Cloud gas solidification road, etching of ground piles, secret techniques of earth veins and hydrology, group defense style, active stripping of heaven and earth essence, armor defense etching, internal energy sacrifice transfer, supermodel cloud gas construction, etc., these are not top secret techniques that are enough to change strategies and tactics.

As a result, the road of cloud gas is now almost the standard for the Han cavalry. The etching of the ground piles is very easy to use. The secret technique of the earth vein hydrology is to look at the construction of the land god kingdom on the ground. Needless to say, the group defense style is used, for ships, camps, cities, active stripping of the essence of heaven and earth, and repeated use during the road verification of the imperial guards, armor defense etching, Kushan for leather armor, and Han for shield guards!

As for the latter two, they are newly developed secret techniques. The former is the basic secret technique for Xu Shu to condense the entire army. Needless to say, the supermodel Yunqi. Now the Han Dynasty and Rome have carried out related secret techniques in important places. The protectiveness of this thing is really first-class.

It can be said that all the things that Kushan worked hard to make were transferred to the Han Dynasty as its foundation. Where should we reason?

This is also the reason why the situation in Kushan has not lost control and generally does not use new strategic secret techniques. To put it bluntly, these secret techniques are just to make up for the shortcomings, but when the Han Dynasty uses them, it is to strengthen its own advantages. Which one is more outrageous?

This tragic situation made Ansar clearly realize that if the Kushan did not make some things that the Han Dynasty could not handle, the Han Dynasty would sooner or later completely swallow the Kushans as it ate the Kushans foundation.

In Ansar's view, entering the world is an opportunity. They all came from East Asia. The Great Yuezhi knew more about what was blocked in the world. Even though there were indeed some dangers inside, compared to the threat from the Han Dynasty, this danger was nothing at all.

Once they can get some things left over from the ancient times from the world, they may be able to hold on until the turn of the situation.

Victory is not expected to win anymore. Losing to the Han Dynasty, the Dayuezhi people actually have no pressure. They have seen the cruelty of the Han Dynasty hundreds of years ago. There is nothing unacceptable to losing to this kind of monster.

But even so, the unwillingness in human nature is still very obvious. Even though he can struggle, Da Yuezhi still wants to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty with her own strength.

Both of the five branches of the Great Yuezhi have accepted the century-old wishes passed down by their ancestors and are willing to spend money to pursue the Han princesses, but to be honest, their own ideas are still different.

When Gajani was furious that the younger generation of the Great Yuezhi was not pure, they were actually not pure. At least the five leaders seemed to have a unified conclusion on some things, but in fact they each had their own thoughts.
