Chapter 302 We want to defeat the Royal Navy (first update, please subscribe)
what is the problem?

Standing in this office a few minutes later, Liu Tiannian's mood was extremely complicated.

Puzzled, but more puzzled.

When he came to this building before, he just felt a little dazed.

But what about now?
Being in this office, Liu Tiannian felt a little uneasy.

What the hell is going on here?
Why am I here?
Liu Tiannian was full of doubts.

"Captain, three years ago, when you just came back from England, you once told me that based on differences in interests, in the next [-] to [-] years, we will have a war with the British. There will inevitably be fierce naval battles between the British Navy in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. You said to me again—unless the Navy can prepare in advance and catch up to defeat the British Navy in the next twenty to thirty years. Target the British Navy, or we must suffer defeat at sea!"

Looking at Liu Tiannian in front of him, Zhu Xianhai's tone was quite calm.

It seems that everything went back to three years ago. Three years ago, this young man studied... no, it was the British Merchant Marine School. After returning from studying at the British Merchant Marine School, at the banquet welcoming them back, Zhu Xianhai asked the 37 naval officers present International students, ask them how they feel about studying abroad and their views on the future.

Almost everyone talked about the strength of the British Royal Navy. Although they were studying at the Merchant Marine School, the teaching of the British Merchant Marine School in this era is exactly the same as that of the Naval School. The British cultivated merchant marine captains in the same way as naval captains , and merchant ships will also be equipped with weapons to defend against pirates, even on the deck of the "Great Orient" there are dozens of cannons.So they can be regarded as the first batch of overseas students sent by Nanhua to study the navy.

These overseas students gave Zhu Xianhai only two answers - the strength of the Royal Navy and the necessity of building a powerful navy.Apparently, what they said was true.

However, among so many students at that time, only Liu Tiannian gave a different answer.

"The strength of the Royal Navy is unquestionable, and this is the fundamental reason why we must face up to the threat of the United Kingdom. The differences in interests between us and the United Kingdom will increase with the development of South China. In the end, this difference is likely to lead to War! Therefore, Britain is our biggest imaginary enemy!"

Liu Tiannian's answer stunned everyone, including Major Douglas of the Naval Academy Instructor Corps. Apparently, they did not expect that there would be naval soldiers in this world who regarded the British Navy as an imaginary enemy.

Especially the strength of this navy is hardly worth mentioning.At the time they even responded with laughter.

The reason why they laugh is because in their opinion, this is a joke at all.

Regarding his answer, Zhu Xianhai laughed and said he was too young.and then?Unlike his classmates who went to the fleet, he went to the naval school.

To a certain extent, this is simply "exile" in disguise, but Zhu Xianhai knows why he wants to do this.

What is the commander-in-chief talking about?
Before Liu Tiannian recovered from the shock, Zhu Xianhai asked again.

"Do you still think so?"

"Yes!"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Tiannian said.

"Not only do I still think so, but I believe this war is inevitable! Even in the past three years, our conflict with British interests has been accelerated even further by our policy of proximity to France. Conflict, Commander!"

What's the big deal even if it's because previous opinions are ignored?

Liu Tiannian still insisted on his point of view. He was by no means the kind of person who "deceives the truth". He must speak out when he realizes the crisis.

"Very good! Your opinion is correct."

what!
Now Liu Tiannian was even more surprised. He knew clearly that because of his words three years ago, he was not assigned to the fleet, but went to the Naval Academy to become an instructor.

"Three years ago, your answer was correct, and it is also correct now. Therefore, I need you to go to the Naval Academy, not just for teaching, but to tell your students who our enemy is!"

Ignoring the dumbfounded Liu Tiannian, Zhu Xianhai said without turning his head.He took a few steps forward, stood in the center of the office, and looked down at the huge world map on the wall, ignoring Liu Tiannian. When staring at the map, his expression became more and more serious.

"Tell your students who our enemy is!"

It took a long time for Liu Tiannian to recover from the shock. He looked at the commander's back and saw him standing in front of the map. It turned out that the commander asked him to go to school not because of his "speaking badly", but because of other deep meanings!
"The war with the British, as you said, is inevitable. As long as the British regard South America as a source of raw materials and a place for dumping goods, then our conflict with them is inevitable and inevitable. Yes, the British successfully planned the Paraguay War this time, thus controlling the economies of Brazil and Argentina, so they will definitely take action against us. No matter how we avoid it, it is impossible to avoid this war! Peace... "

Shaking his head, Zhu Xianhai said.

"You can't ask for it, but you can call back, what do you think?"

The marshal's question brought Liu Tiannian's thoughts back to reality, and he answered in a low voice:

"Marshal, peace can be fought, but right now, we have nothing to do. After all, the strength of the British navy is too strong. This is not a fair duel. If a war with the British breaks out now, then The result must be catastrophic, and we shall lose not only the whole fleet, but the whole merchant fleet."

After thinking for a while, Liu Tiannian added:

"If there is any remedy, it is to lay mines along the coast. We can even use camouflaged merchant ships to deploy mines to the British mainland waters, but if we want to defeat the British navy at sea, at least for now, there is no trace at all." Opportunity. But by setting mines in the British mainland waters and the colonial waters, it should be able to have a certain effect, especially the psychological blow, which must be extremely heavy. After all, since the Trafalgar naval battle, there has never been any The country has dealt heavy damage to the UK at sea, even if it is a mine attack, it is also a blow to the UK! Of course, this is just a suggestion."

In the past three years, Liu Tiannian has never given up on that idea - to defeat the British Royal Navy, but everyone knows that this goal is almost impossible to achieve, because the Royal Navy is too powerful, for them, It is simply impossible to defeat such an opponent.

Although Liu Tiannian also understands this truth, he is very clear that a war with Britain is inevitable, so he must find a way to severely damage the British.

"Your suggestion is good. As long as the war starts, we must do everything possible to win the war!"

Zhu Xianhai looked relieved, he nodded and said.

"It's good that you have such an idea. It means that I'm not mistaken. By the way, someone will take you to a place later. Captain Liu Tiannian, no, Major Liu Tiannian. Please remember that the British Navy must be defeated. "
