1825 My New Daming

Chapter 30 Tongue Wars with Groups of Friends——Really able to pinch and count

"how do you know"

Zhuge was stunned for a long time. Of course, the tactics he used to deal with the European powers came from the scriptures. The scriptures called this "offshore check and balance technique", which was said to be used by the British Empire to toss the European powers.

"I can count!" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "Second Brother, I've already figured out that your offshore balancer will definitely mess it up!"

"Why?" Zhuge Weijiu was unconvinced, but he didn't lift the table either—Mr. Zhuge, of course he had to be spoken, otherwise how could he "talk"?If you flip the table at every turn, you will not be Zhuge, but you will become Zhang Fei.

And with his "why", the joint trial of the army division unknowingly turned into a verbal battle against the group of people - as long as Zhuge Weidao can take down the group of Zhuge in front of him with three inches, the joint trial will naturally not need to be judged up.

Because in the Zhuge family, being able to pinch and count is the greatest correctness!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao went on to say: "Second brother, your offshore balancer is too far away from the shore to effectively intervene in European affairs to balance the rising countries. The so-called offshore balance is not always offshore, forever They don’t go ashore, but they have to go ashore to join the battle when necessary. The British can use offshore checks and balances to control the European continent because they can go off the field and fight in person when necessary, and unite with their allies to defeat those who are trying to dominate Europe. A powerful country. But we can’t do it! We have no way to effectively intervene in Europe. Even if we barely pass, we can’t invest much military power. In the Napoleonic Wars, it was the European Anti-French Alliance and Rakshasa Winter who defeated Napoleon. What we provide Aid is not necessary!

Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of power in Europe and prevent Britain from controlling Europe with their offshore checks and balances, we have to vigorously support the Rakshasa Empire.And this policy has a fatal flaw! "

"What flaw?" Zhuge Weijiu frowned even tighter.

"It means that there will inevitably be a war between the Rakshasa Empire and the British Empire because of the struggle for European hegemony!" Zhuge Weidao talked eloquently, "As long as the Rakshasa Empire does not change its national policy of seizing the Balkans and Constantinople, she and the British Empire will The conflict between them is inevitable. Because once Rakshasa captures the Balkans and Constantinople, it will become the real Eastern Rome. How dare a small barbarian state of England compete with Rome? And England is a country governed by parliament , will not let Rakshasa's ambitions go because of the marriage contract between Victoria and Alexander.

Once a war breaks out in Europe, and we are unable to intervene in the end, we can only wait for the European side to decide the winner.And once the war in Europe is decided, Europe will have a hegemon for quite a long time in the future. According to my calculations, Britain will defeat Rakshasa and become the hegemon of Europe in the future! "

Not only did Zhuge Weijiu's face change drastically, but also Zhuge Youxin, the naval strategist, and Zhuge Yougang, the army strategist, were also shocked. They obviously knew about the Crimean War.

"Not necessarily?" Zhuge Weijiu frowned and looked at Zhuge Weidao, "The army of the Raksha Kingdom is the largest in the world, and in the next few years, they will have at least four Hongwu Emperor-class ironclad ships, and among them The three will also be deployed in the Black Sea, isn't it enough to block the Strait of Tartar and support the Rakshasa Army to take down Constantinople?"

Zhuge Weidao shook his head with a smile and said, "The gap between the Rakshasa Kingdom and the UK is all-round. It cannot be made up by four warships. The UK is an industrial country second only to us in the world, right?"

Zhuge Weijiu nodded, and said: "Britain's industrial strength is currently second only to my Ming Dynasty, but the British mainland is too small after all, with a population of only over 2000 million, less than one-tenth of ours. And their technology is not as good as ours. We are still imitating us all the time, it’s too unnatural.”

When Zhuge Weidao heard this, he couldn't help laughing—most of our ancestors' golden fingers came from other people, so it's hard to say who copied them!

Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao chuckled a few times, and then said: "Although the industrial strength of the United Kingdom is not as good as ours, it still exceeds the Raksha country by a lot. The sky in Raksha is too cold, and the ports on the Baltic Sea are frozen. It’s only half a year old, and it’s not suitable for industrial development at all. Although Ukraine’s land is good, but the mouth of the Black Sea is blocked by the Turkish Empire, it’s hard to develop.

In addition, since Ming and Raksha are on guard against each other, there are no railways in Siberia and the Golden Empire. Once Raksha fights with the UK, and the shipping in the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean is blocked by the UK, they can only go to the Arctic Ocean for Raksha. Shipping something.But how much can the Arctic Ocean route transport?Quite limited!And the port of Murmansk may also be blocked.

This is not the most troublesome thing, the most troublesome thing is that even the serfdom in Rakshasa has not been abolished yet!A large number of people are serfs, tied to the land, and it is impossible to work as workers in factories.Moreover, they see no hope, work hard, have low production efficiency, most of their output is occupied by others, and lack the ability to consume industrial products.Therefore, Luochakong has a population of tens of millions, but it is impossible to let them serve industrialization, and there is no way to even establish a compulsory military service system.Therefore, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Army were recruited for 30 years. Although there are a lot of soldiers, when it comes to the war, there is no way to quickly mobilize civilians to join the army and expand the number of troops like Ming, France, and Prussia. "

Zhuge Weidao sighed, "So if you don't solve the serfdom in Raksha, you can't really develop the industry in Raksha. Raksha can't beat Britain at all. And Britain won't fight Raksha alone. They will definitely bring France to clean up Rakshasa. During the Napoleonic War, Britain could support Rakshasa to defeat Napoleon, and now Britain can support France to fight Rakshasa. And who can Rakshasa rely on? Prussia? Austria? Two countries dare to confront Britain? It is impossible!
But the Raksha Kingdom itself is still immersed in the dream of the European overlord, and it wants to liberate the Balkans and regain Constantinople!Therefore, a fierce conflict will inevitably break out between Britain and Rakshasa. In this conflict, Rakshasa will definitely lose! "

As he spoke, he took another meaningful look at Zhuge Weijiu, Zhuge Youxin, and Zhuge Yougang, the three Zhuge military advisers who obviously knew about the Crimean War—although the Crimean War might not necessarily be the same as the one in history. They are exactly the same, but all the elements that determine the inevitable outbreak of this war and the inevitable defeat of Rakshasa are all there!

Zhuge said with a deep voice for Taoism: "After the defeat of Luocha, Britain will become the hegemon of Europe for quite a long time, and the hegemon of Europe is the hegemon of white Christian civilization. At that time, not only Europe will Under the leadership of the United Kingdom, even the United States, Brazil, Argentina, and even the Mexican Empire will become our enemies! Now it is not 100 years ago, now is the time when steam ironclad ships are rampant in the world! In another ten or twenty years , On the ocean, there will be faster, larger tonnage, and more powerful full-oil powered battleships! The distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific may not be able to stop their white battleships!

Second Brother, Uncle Forty, Uncle Forty-two, do the math, are we ready to face such a situation? "

"Brother [-], what did you say?" This time it was Zhuge Weiyi, the shipbuilder who surprised him, with his mouth wide open and his eyes staring blankly at Zhuge Weidao. "You, how do you know about full oil-powered battleships?"

"I figured it out!" Zhuge Weidao looked at Zhuge Weiyi and asked in a low voice, "Brother Ten, in another seven or eight years, a battleship with an empty displacement of [-] tons and a heavy oil boiler and a steam turbine can put in Have you used it?"

"Can you wait, you also figured this out?" Zhuge Weiyi looked shocked.

Because the battleship Zhuge Weidao mentioned is still in the design and demonstration stage!It is impossible for an officer of Zhuge Weidao's level to know unless there is a major leak!

Before he could react, Zhuge Weidao went on to say: "If it takes another fifteen or sixteen years, we should have an empty displacement of nearly 8 tons, equipped with eight 380mm naval guns, and a maximum speed of 23 A battleship of knots or 24 knots?"

"This..." Zhuge Weiyi turned his head and glanced at Zhuge Youxin who was as stunned as he was.

Because the [-]-ton battleship proposed by Zhuge Weidao is no longer something that designers of the navy and shipyards can leak. This can only be leaked by Zhuge military division who has read the book of shipbuilding and the navy.

Could it be that Zhuge Youde leaked this secret to his son?If there is such a thing, then Zhuge Dao will not go to Nanyang or the Arctic Ocean, but will be placed under house arrest by the Zhuge family for life according to the family rules!
"One hundred and eight nephews." Zhuge Youxin's voice trembled a little, "Your father told you what you said, right?"

Zhuge Weidao just smiled calmly, and said reasonablely to the 83-year-old Zhuge: "Uncle 36, I have calculated an equation, you can always show it."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope and handed it to Zhuge Weixue who was guarding him.

Zhuge Weixue has been dazed for a long time, his head is buzzing, and he will do whatever his brother tells him to do.He immediately took the envelope and handed it to the old man Zhuge Youli.Zhuge Youli is also a very reasonable old man. He immediately took the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and took out his reading glasses to look at it. Of course, his face changed drastically, and he blurted out: "Relativity. Theory? One hundred and eight nephews, you Do you know what this is?"

Zhuge Weidao nodded: "It's the mass-energy formula of the theory of relativity!"

"What?" Zhuge Youpin, the chemical army strategist, also exclaimed, "You, how is this possible?"

Zhuge Youde hadn't read the heavenly books on physics and chemistry, and Zhuge Youde's father certainly hadn't either.Moreover, the theory of relativity is not made public now, and theoretically only physical and chemical military strategists know about it.

"Uncle 45," Zhuge Weidao took out an envelope as if conjuring, "There's still one for you!"

"Give it to me?" Zhuge Youpin, who is tall and thin, and has a big bald head who is extremely smart, hurriedly learned from Zhuge Wei, "Nephew 88, go and get it."

"Yes."

On the letter paper sent to Zhuge Youpin this time, there is a paragraph - there are variants of chemical elements with different relative atomic mass and radioactivity but with the same physical and chemical properties. These variants should be in the same position on the periodic table, called Do isotopes.

"One hundred and eight nephews" Zhuge Youpin was astonished, and his voice trembled a little, "I support you to become the eighteenth army division!"

Zhuge Youli also said with a straight face: "One hundred and eight nephew, since you even know the formula of the theory of relativity, then I support you!"

Naval strategist Zhuge Youxin seemed a little excited, and his voice trembled: "Nephew [-], I didn't expect you, you are really good at pinching and counting! I support you!"

"Brother One Hundred and Eight," Zhuge Weiyi, a shipbuilder, also looked at Zhuge Weidao with the eyes of a monster, "I support you too!"

According to the family rules of the Zhuge family, if the number of military divisions is less than twenty, the new military division can take over if more than one-third of the living military divisions support it. Now Zhuge Weidao has won four votes, and there is only one left left to become a military division. Down two votes.

Zhuge Weidao, who felt that he was about to succeed, set his sights on those military advisers who hadn't made a statement, and when they were waiting to reap the victory, Zhuge Weijiu suddenly spoke: "Brother [-], we haven't talked yet. Is it over?"
