He has just become Prime Minister, and he needs to show his stuff, not only to his colleagues in the cabinet, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons, but also to all walks of life.
"However, constitutional monarchy may not be suitable for our national conditions!"
"Simplified Chinese, isn't it a culture of castration!"
"How to explain the northwest war situation?"
These people are naturally not here to listen to Liu Zheng's chicken blood, and they still refuse to let Liu Zheng go.
Liu Zheng chuckled: "My compatriots, you still haven't seen the essence of the matter. Why did Britain rise? The industrial revolution and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy were indispensable. However, maritime hegemony is the magic weapon for them to plunder resources and wealth! Sea power! Maritime power.
hegemony!"
"What we, Long Yan, are going to fight for next is sea power! Not the temporary gains and losses in the northwest battle!"
"Everyone, please take a look!"
He continued to point his finger at the entire territory of Tsarist Russia.
Everyone took a deep breath.
The territory of Tsarist Russia was already very large, but what they didn't know was that Tsarist Russia would be even bigger in the future. Catherine II's crazy expansion was at the peak of Tsarist Russia at that time.
But now, it is indeed not that small.
Liu Zheng smiled coldly and drew on the map with his hand.
"My compatriots, why has Tsarist Russia been at war all these years?"
"Why have you been fighting Osman? Are you fighting with all your strength?"
"It's simple! They want an ice-free port!"
"They want an ice-free port to Europe!"
"This is the Black Sea!"
"The Black Sea is the gateway to Europe! Therefore, Crimea is a battleground for Tsarist Russia, and it is also a place that they compete with the Ottomans all year round!"
People, keep listening.
Liu Zheng drew several circles on the map.
These are the several ice-free ports in Tsarist Russia today. One is the Sochi Port in Komibia. This is the best ice-free port in Tsarist Russia and the most direct access to the Black Sea. However, the Ottomans will not be so easy and let Tsarist Russia always control it.
Right here. Following are the Port of Murmansk, the Port of Vladivostok, and the Port of St. Petersburg... However, the Port of St. Petersburg is greatly restricted by European countries, and the Port of Vladivostok is too remote...
..
The port of Kurmans is closer to the interior of Tsarist Russia...
Overall, Tsarist Russia's four ice-free ports all have their own advantages and disadvantages.
so......
If Tsarist Russia wanted to rapidly expand its territory, several ice-free ports would be very important.
One, is the port of Sochi leading to Europe.
Second, it is Vladivostok leading to Asia. It can also be understood as Sakhalin Island, which is currently having a dispute with Long Yan. This is almost a matter of one direction...
"ah!"
"this......"
"Liu Shilang, no, Liu Shoufu means..."
Many people in this group exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Zheng chuckled: "That's right. If Tsarist Russia invests most of its troops on Sakhalin Island, that's what Longyan needs to be on guard about. However, investing such a large number of troops in the Western Region will only make them sink into the mud.
, and the profit is extremely small!”
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Everyone started to think about it.
yes......
If this is the case, then what exactly is Tsarist Russia trying to do?
Invading Dragon Flame?
This is obviously impossible...
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention the current Longyan. However, in the period of rapid development opportunities, it is even more difficult to really invade Longyan.
"Shilang Liu means..."
"We put them in on purpose!"
"this......"
A group of people were shocked.
Liu Zheng nodded: "As I said just now, our most important thing now is maritime hegemony!"
“Sakhalin, Vladivostok!”
"As long as we hold these two places firmly in our hands, we can block the entire Tsarist Russia in the Arctic! Slowly torture!"
"And we, Long Yan, can build our first island chain in the Asia-Pacific region!"
The first island chain!
This concept was finally brought up for the first time.
This time, it was not only the people making trouble who were shocked, but also the people in the cabinet and the House of Lords.
