1825 My New Daming

Chapter 31 Battle of the Words - Cold War and Hot War, Don't Be Cowardly!
Convincing Zhuge for a long time is a must!

Although there is no vote of Zhuge Weijiu, Zhuge Weidao can definitely become a military advisor.But his current goal has been raised a little bit higher, no longer to be a Zhuge military adviser, but to become Zhuge's prime minister.

Because only when he becomes the prime minister, can he lead the Ming Empire to fight against Baipi's world empire!
And Zhuge Weijiu's support can make him go faster and easier on the road of worshiping the prime minister.

So, Zhuge Weidao pretended to count his fingers and began to answer his "old brother"'s questions.

"Second brother, we simply can't send enough troops to Europe to play a balance hand. This is not only because Europe is too far away from us, but also because we don't control the shipping routes leading to Europe. Our shipbuilding capabilities, our Heavy industry, it must be stronger than the UK. Therefore, it is not difficult for our fleet to overwhelm the UK in terms of hard power. How many British naval fortresses will we have to fight on the way to Europe? I’m afraid that by the time we reach the west coast of India, we will be exhausted, the ships will be broken, and the Royal Navy will be able to take care of us by then!

So we can't control the outcome of the European war at all, and once Europe is suppressed by the British, the British will definitely attack us, even if they don't go to the east of Malacca to fight us, they will contain us economically, politically, and militarily First confine us to East Asia, prevent us from obtaining resources and markets from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Oceania, and then slowly kill our economy.Second brother, if the British use this method to deal with us, can we do anything? "

"This." Zhuge Weijiu frowned deeply, "Daozi, what do you mean, the British will fight a cold war with us?"

When Zhuge Weidao heard the word "cold war", he nodded with a smile: "It should be a cold war first, and then a hot war. Although the technology of Westerners is not as good as ours, there should not be many lagging behind. We have the heavenly book to lead the way." , they can follow us. As long as the trade and communication between the two sides are not completely interrupted, they can always follow us leisurely. Our equipment may be a generation ahead of theirs, but this advantage is not absolute. won't guide us forever. Am I right?"

Zhuge who was present at the scene became even more serious when he heard what he said.

Because the heavenly scriptures handed down by the ancestors do have an end!Now they can rely on the guidance of Tianshu to find the right direction at the beginning and avoid detours, which can save a lot of research and development time and energy.But the knowledge recorded in the heavenly book is limited!

Once the advantage of the heavenly book guiding the way is lost, can Daming's technological leadership be maintained?Will white Christian civilization catch up?

Seeing the solemn old faces, Zhuge Weidao knew that his words had already moved the old people, so he continued his efforts: "Although the technology of the white Christian civilization is not as good as ours, the population, land, and There are more resources than we have in our hands! Moreover, they also hold a land with great potential in the American continent, which is known as the country chosen by heaven. If time passes, the population and production scale of the white people will definitely exceed Ours! If you add the population of the colonies they control, it is possible for the total to double ours. With more people, vast land, and rich resources, the power is great!"

Zhuge Weidao looked at the group of old Zhuges in front of him again. It seemed that only Zhuge Weijiu and Zhuge Youxin, the naval officer, and Zhuge Yougang, the army officer, looked relatively calm.

But Zhuge Youdao wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to frighten them.Because he already knew the background of King Zhuge Wuzhong now, so he could probably guess where the "Book of Heaven" mastered by these old Zhuges could go?
So he thought about it again and said: "At that time, I'm afraid it will be a hot war unless we have a big killing weapon in our hands to deter all Xiaoxiao, otherwise a big war will be inevitable!
Ladies and gentlemen, if the United Kingdom becomes the leader of the white Christian civilization, then we and the United Kingdom will not be fighting between two countries, but two civilizations and two races.These western baiyi are all bandits who destroy the human race without even blinking an eye!In order to seize America, they exterminated tens of millions of Indians, and they are still exterminating now!

In order to develop the Americas, they bought black slaves from Africa and shipped them to the Americas.In order to capture black slaves and sell them for profit, African black tribes killed each other, and I don't know how many people were killed!The lessons learned from the past are vivid, can we have illusions about them? "

Will it really happen?Will Daming really be besieged by white skins all over the world?
Zhuge Weijiu, Zhuge Youxin, and Zhuge Yougang were beating drums in their hearts.

Although the ancestor's heavenly scriptures did not mention it, the ancestor's heavenly scriptures were not completely accurate. For example, Japan's reformation took place ahead of schedule, and the Tokugawa shogunate did not collapse, and the reformation achieved considerable success under the leadership of the shogunate.Moreover, Japan's reform is not to learn from the West, but to learn from the way of the Ming Dynasty, and set up the "unity of public and military, and powerful vassals discussing politics".

Zhuge Weijiu, Zhuge Youxin, and Zhuge Yougang are actually a little timid, and they are also very worried that the white Christian civilization will unite and become the enemy of Ming Dynasty.Now meeting this little brother who "can really pinch and count", and being so intimidated by him, it seems that this thing is really possible!
The other Zhuge present were also worried.These people from Zhuge's family are a bit timid. They are born nobles, and they are also high IQ academic masters, and they have ancestral money-making gold fingers. It can be said that they can get whatever they want.In addition, most of them are now old, the younger ones are over 50, and the older ones are in their seventies and eighties.When people reach this age, they generally become more conservative.

In addition, under the leadership of people like them, Da Ming looks pretty good, and it is best if he can be safe and calm.

Zhuge Weidao spoke again at this time, "Second brother, we protect the 6000 ​​million people of Ming Dynasty and their descendants, and are responsible for the rise and fall of the world. We can't pin our hopes on the benevolence of the enemy, right? The barbarians are also barbarians, and they are afraid of power and not virtuous, if we let them go now, they will definitely repay kindness with grievances in the future!"

"Brother One Hundred and Eight, then tell me again, how to break this cold war situation?" Zhuge Weijiu finally couldn't help himself, but his expression was still calm.

Zhuge Weidao waited for this question, and he immediately replied: "Second brother, we have two ways to deal with it. One is to poach the corners of the white colonies. Before the younger brother, he encouraged Emperor Daoguang to harass India in the Kingdom of Jin and introduce Britain into Afghanistan. In order to break the myth that the British army is invincible and show the Indians, as long as they are not afraid of the British, we will have the opportunity to stir up chaos in India. India is the jewel in the crown of the British Empire. If there is chaos in India, the British will definitely not be able to sit still At that time, we can not only reveal the British's hole cards for others to see! If we can sweep away the prestige of the British, the Raksha Kingdom may be able to attract one or two useful allies.

The second is that we have to decisively send troops to grab the territory of the white colonists when a war breaks out in Europe!We don't have to worry about things on the European continent, and we can't care that far.But we must grab Malacca, the East Indies, Ceylon Road, southern Africa, the Persian Gulf, North America and western South America, and Oceania in the South Pacific.It is possible to let the Indians also rise up and establish an independent country!
This site is resources, a market, and a space for the development of civilization.As long as our territory is large enough, even if Britain unifies Europe, we will not be afraid. "

Zhuge Weijiu frowned deeply: "Brother [-], if you do this, you won't be afraid that after the British suppressed Rakshasa, they will lead the coalition forces from all of Europe to fight against our Ming Dynasty to the end?"

"Not afraid!"

Zhuge Weidao's answer was decisive.He laughed and said: "As long as our territory is large enough, we can turn offense into defense and wait for Baiyi soldiers to fight us in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. If they don't come, we can rely on our large territory, abundant resources, The market is huge and they are exhausted. They want to come. Hehe, we will be the ones waiting for work at that time! Are we afraid that we will not be able to compete with them in navy, shipbuilding, and even aviation?"

"Aviation?" Zhuge Weijiu was startled again, "Brother [-], have you counted the "Book of Aviation" again?"

Zhuge Weidao immediately understood, he looked at Zhuge Weijiu: "Second brother, this matter of aviation must be recorded in the three volumes of confidential heavenly books, right?"

Zhuge Weijiu nodded his head: "One of the three volumes of confidential books is "Aerospace Book", which talks about flying weapons. According to the ancestor's will, "Aerospace Book" cannot be unsealed until the internal combustion engine technology comes out."

The internal combustion engine has appeared now, but it is very primitive and not efficient, but it is also considered to meet the conditions for unblocking.So Zhuge already knew for a long time that one of the three volumes of the secret heavenly book was "Aviation Heavenly Book".Another volume was also unsealed at the same time, called "The Automobile Heavenly Book". As for the unsealed condition of the last volume of the heavenly book, it has not yet been met.

Zhuge Weidao said with a smile: "Okay! Then I'll be a flying military advisor!" As he spoke, he looked at Zhuge Weijiu and asked, "Second brother, do you think I can be a flying military advisor?"

Zhuge Weijiu smiled and said, "There is one last question!"

"Excuse me." Zhuge took a breath for the Tao, he knew that he was about to succeed.

Zhuge Weijiu said: "My Ming Dynasty was not keen on expansion after the death of King Wuzhong. First, I was afraid that the military would harm the people's livelihood. Second, I felt that it would be difficult to manage so many territories and population. Brother Hundred and Eight should understand, right?"

Of course Zhuge Weidao understood, and he also knew the third reason why Zhuge Weidao hadn't said it for a long time, and that was cowardice!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I understand. I also know that the resources in this world can only allow a small number of people to live a prosperous life, so we can't benefit everyone anyway, but we The people of Ming Dynasty must be able to live better than people in most countries in the world!

Therefore, we must not treat all the land we have acquired as the land of Ming Dynasty, and we cannot treat the people on these lands as the people of Ming Dynasty. "

"This..." Zhuge Weijiu frowned, "That's not what the ancestors said."

Zhuge Weidao said with a smile: "The ideal of the ancestors must be equal wealth and a harmonious world, right?"

Zhuge was taken aback for a long time: "You can also figure this out?"

Zhuge Wei Daoxin said: "Is this still worth calculating? Looking at this old-fashioned building, combined with the development route of Ming Dynasty not engaging in colonies, you can probably know what era King Wuzhong's thinking stayed in?"

Thinking of this, he sighed: "Of course the ancestor's truth is correct, but the resources in the world are limited, and the production level is also limited after all, so some people will always be more equal than others!"

"More equality?" Zhuge Weijiu frowned, this was the first time he heard such a statement, "Brother [-], what should we do?"

Zhuge Weidao said: "Second brother, we want to build many kingdoms of filial sons and virtuous grandchildren in the Ming Dynasty. Daming needs a lot of filial sons and virtuous grandsons to provide resources, markets and other primary products. Only in this way can we make the people of Ming Dynasty live better than others. The people of the country are more equal. Our Eight Great Aristocratic Families and the Families of Honored Officials are more equal than ordinary Ming people.

Second brother, Zi once said: Don’t worry about being few, but worrying about unevenness. If the people of Daming can feel that they are the ones who get more out of this inequality, will they love and support us more? "
