It can be said that Zhou Yu spent so long staying at the bottom and not rising up, which can be regarded as advancing the strategy to a comeback point in one breath.
"Choose two out of three, or choose all of them." Pang Tong said with emotion. Zhou Yu was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He had been pretending to be dead before, but this time it was finally over.
"So you think even Selian could be killed by the governor?" Li Yan is also a guy who has seen Selian's brutal side, so he knows very well how brutal the opponent's naval battle is.
"I don't know what Zhou Gongjin has prepared, but I know that if Selian really goes to the East China Sea to fight, he won't win." Pang Tong said with strong confidence.
Zhou Yu sent people to the East China Sea to conduct in-depth research on the islands, ocean currents, etc. No matter how strong Selian was, he still needed to learn the basics. It is absolutely impossible for Selian to know all these things that need to be accumulated in one visit.
Chu.
"Young Selian may really have the fighting power to fight against opponents all over the world, but in the East China Sea, if Zhou Gongjin really breaks the self-circulation, Selian will not be able to win anyway." Pang Tong shook his head and said.
A large number of warships ordered by Zhou Yu are parked at the Donglai Shipyard, and many of Zhou Yu's crew members have been arranged. If they are really fighting in the East China Sea, there will be no self-circulating, crushing offensive. Fighting for command and ship size, the competition
Leanne can't win.
After all, naval warfare is a war of vehicles, and technology and tactics are only one aspect of it.
With the current scale of skilled workers in the Han army, sufficient material reserves, and a new shipyard that has reset its production lines, how many large warships can be built in a year?
One hundred ships? Two hundred ships? No, last year, Cangli Shipyard, Liaoxi Shipyard, Donglai Shipyard, Donghai Shipyard, Jiangdu Shipyard, and Kuaiji Shipyard produced a total of more than one hundred improved and simplified ships.
Later seventh-generation ships.
The cost was reduced from hundreds of millions at the beginning to one-third, and Zhou Yu only purchased more than 20 ships, as well as a large number of sixth-generation ships.
More of the responsibility is to cultivate a larger naval backbone and wait for the opportunity to come.
Although there are nearly a hundred seventh-generation ships and hundreds of sixth-generation ships left, if they want to purchase them all, Sun Ce's forces simply cannot come up with enough money.
Even the special loan approved by Chen Xi was not enough, but Zhou Yu still chose Stud. After winning, he would have many ways to repay the money.
To put it too much, after they won, they went to Australia to dig iron ore and shipped back shiploads of iron ore, which was enough to repay the money.
The important reason why there has been no way to implement this plan is that there is a sinkhole across Malacca in Selian, and the Han fleet simply does not dare to go to Australia along Southeast Asia.
Therefore, even if Zhou Yu knew that Australia had high-quality iron ore, there was no way to turn it into capital. But after Selianqian was eliminated, the Pacific Ocean became the home of Sun Ce's power, and Australia's iron ore was inexhaustible for them.
An inexhaustible treasury.
After all, compared with gold and silver, which need to be converted into precious materials, before the 21st century, high-quality steel will never be enough. How much output there is, there will be consumption. It is impossible not to use it up. In this kind of situation,
Under the prerequisites, it goes without saying how important a large open-pit mine with inexhaustible supply can be directly smelted after being dug out.
Even if the output of this mine requires half of the tax paid to the Han Dynasty, Sun Ce's power will not be afraid of not being able to borrow money based on this mine.
Just like the Yuan family, even if they scream every day, there are so many resources piled up there. To be honest, no one thinks that the Yuan family will fall. Even if they are beaten miserably by Rome, they are still a hundred and eighty thousand from the end.
A distance of thousands of miles.
If you really can't defeat him, the worst he can do is return to Sizhao City, east of the Ural Mountains, and become a rich man. Even this is several levels higher than other families.
Zhou Yu's plan is the same, to defeat Selian as early as possible, enter the Indian Ocean, gain more achievements, and gather more people. By then, even if Sun Ce's power has occupied Southeast Asia and Australia, who can say anything.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Doesn't being king and hegemony rely on legal principles and violence?
Needless to say, the legal principles of Sun Ce's forces, in fact, the legal principles of all the major forces that can come out to mess around were captured by killing the Huns in the Battle of Northern Xinjiang.
But legal principles only allow you to say openly that this place belongs to you. However, in reality, whether this place belongs to you or not depends on force. Military strength is the basis for maintaining the existence of a political entity. Any political entity wants to survive.
All require sufficient force.
Pang Tong knew these things very well, so he knew that in the next battle, as long as Zhou Yu could break the self-circulation at sea that Sailian was proud of, victory would be inevitable.
No matter how strong Selian is, he cannot defeat a ship three times his size. Naval battles are still based on vehicle tactics. This gap in hard power is irreparable.
"If you pay back the money then, your liver will hurt." Li Yan had a painful expression on his face.
"It's okay. If we win this battle, we can pay it off no matter how much money we owe. In fact, if we win this battle, if nothing else, the Ye Tiao Kingdom under our feet belongs to us. This place alone is enough to pay back the debt.
The debt is cleared." Pang Tong said nonchalantly.
This is not a joke, but the truth. It would be enough for Sumatra Island to just set up plantations and sell the land directly to those shipyards.
"I always feel uncomfortable. The wars we fought hard to win and the places we occupied were easily bought by those guys with money." Wenpin was not satisfied with this operation. In fact, he was a pure military general.
Most people are dissatisfied with this approach.
"Many of them are ours," Pang Tong said with a sigh.
Among other things, the Kuaiji Shipyard in Jiangnan has members of the Ponzi family and the Huang family, and the Donghai shipyard has members of the Donghai Wang family.
In fact, if you break it down further, behind the major shipyards are, to put it bluntly, families. In addition, the environment in Jiangdong is more complicated. People like Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao are attacking cities and plundering territory from the front.
, guys who plan for Sun Ce's forces and their own future, and the families behind them work hard to accumulate various materials and sell them to Sun Ce's forces.
For these families, ships are just a kind of material. Sun Ce's forces need it and will lend it to you for free. When the war is won in the end, they will be qualified to stand up and share the cake.
This method is very different from the kind of family that supported a certain overlord in the past, because in that environment, the things that the overlord could give were very limited, mostly official positions and titles, but they could be distributed from top to bottom.
There are very few things left.
But now it’s completely different. It’s possible to break up the soil and enclose the country. As long as you have enough support and the big guy you support is capable enough to make a big profit, you can definitely make a lot of money.
It's just that this method makes the generals fighting at the front a little uncomfortable, especially the generals who don't have a strong enough family behind them, because some people are eating both sides.
Li Yan glanced at Wenpin and said nothing. After all, Li Yan's family also had a role in these businesses. Although the role was not as good as those of the big families, Li Yan's position was here, and the families behind him could also contribute more.
It's hard to say whether this method is good or bad, but Li Yan is not disgusted with it. On the contrary, this method of working hard and spending money to strive for the future to the greatest extent. Li Yan agrees with it. It is too tiring to honor the ancestors by just relying on oneself.
Yes, it’s good for the whole family to work together.
Pang Tong looked at Li Yan, then at Wenpin, but in the end he didn't say anything. Essentially, this is a matter of personal outlook. Rationally speaking, Pang Tong felt that this approach would indeed do a lot of harm to those guys who don't have enough capital.
, but from a family perspective, this is really much more reliable than the previous method of launching one or a few backbones to fight for the big forces.
Money and resources can even be borrowed from Chen Xi. Not only Sun Ce's forces have special loans, but they also have special loans. They can borrow money from Chen Xi and give it to the forces they recognize, and then exchange for greater benefits, waiting for them to lend
After the money is earned back, it will be returned to Chen Xi.
Although there is a possibility of loss, as long as you have a good vision in this kind of thing, given the current situation of the Han Dynasty, everyone is confident.
Victory lies in the future. Victory or defeat in the moment is nothing. Even greater victories can be won in the future. Under this kind of thinking, it is even more unreasonable for major aristocratic families who were originally wild and ambitious to do such a thing.
Very courageous.
As for Chen Xi, who counted the money later, it is absolutely impossible for him to lose money. Other families and forces do not have the ability to directly convert resources into credit currency. Chen Xi's industry can do this perfectly. In addition,
Chen Xi himself is the foundation of the credit system, and special loans are equivalent to transferring funds to materials, so naturally it is impossible to lose money.
With this idea, Chen Xi is not worried that he will collapse at all. How can the war dividends be eaten up by big forces and families like you? I collect money from each family and then transform it into new blood to expand the output of manufacturing industry.
, increase the per capita income of the people.
Of course, Chen Xi has never shown this kind of thing, because the Chen family has too much black material, and there is no way to explain to Liu Ye that this kind of operation is different from the Chen family's small fights in and big fights, and the benefits to the people of Qi.
What's the difference.
Once Liu Ye knew that Chen Xi had done this, even if Chen Xi really had no intention of buying the country, Liu Ye would probably be afraid.
So Chen Xi acted like I'm just that rich, don't care where my money comes from. Borrowing money from the future is one of the rules of the game. If you don't accept it, don't play.
Anyway, as long as Liu Ye and others can't understand it, then the dark history of the old Chen family will not exist, and as long as it does not exist, then all the stuff can be regarded as one of Chen Xi's magical and superb methods. After all, it is already magical.
After all these years, it doesn’t matter if it continues to be magical.
