The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 585: The strategic position of aircraft carriers? How important are aircraft carriers, which are difficult to build and expensive, to a country?
"Cough cough cough..."

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu period.

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed dryly, wanting to take back what he had just said.
For example, something like "I have a pie, you have a pie" style.

However, there was one emperor who showed a relieved smile on his face.

That is our Qing Dynasty's Emperor Qianlong, the Ten-Perfect Emperor. As we all know, he wrote countless doggerel poems in his lifetime, so many that they are outrageous.

And most of it is bullshit, and the faces are discarded just to make it rhyme.

Qianlong knew the truth, but as a descendant of the Tungus wild boar, he had only a limited amount of knowledge and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

……

[If you think this is Mr. Chen’s true level, you are wrong again.]

[Those of you who die later should work harder, and the good news will be used as paper money]

[This is also a poem by General Chen. According to many people's recollections, the general's poetic talent depends on the distance between him and the enemy.]

“There is such talent!”

Han Dynasty, Mobei.

Huo Qubing looked at the Xiongnu tribe in the distance, and a breathtaking light flashed in his eyes.

Then they led a thousand men and rushed towards the Huns' tribe.

"General! What are you going to do!?"

The guards beside him were watching with their eyes wide open, but they could only hear the voice of Huo Qubing from afar.

"I'm going to test whether I can really write good poems on the battlefield!"

Well, no man can resist the temptation of writing poetry with a spear in hand, don’t you think, Cao Aman?
During the Three Kingdoms period, Boss Cao stroked his beard with a reserved smile on his face.

Because when he looked at Mr. Chen's poems, he couldn't help but think of his own glorious years. At that time, he was young and strong, and could speak eloquently.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but stand up and raise his glass:

"Looking eastwards at Jieshi, I can see the vast ocean..."

Only in the Tang Dynasty, in the Hall of Wude.

Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth wide, looked up at the sky, and murmured:
"No, you really can!"

He can't write either doggerel or good poetry, so it can be said that he was a complete failure.

All the ministers in the hall, including Emperor Li Shimin on the stage, couldn't help laughing when they saw the frustrated Cheng Yaojin. "The Devil in the World" was the name given to the Wagangzhai. Now we generally call people like Cheng Yaojin the "happy fruit".

With the end of the comments, this question also received a corresponding answer, and many people also re-recognized this founding general.

"What a wonderful man!"

Southern Tang, Li Yu looked at the sky and commented to General Chen.

As the "Emperor of Ci Throughout the Ages", his ci have undergone a transformation, because now he has lived in seclusion in Tokyo Kaifeng.

He was extremely envious of such heroic and domineering poems because he could not write them!

……

At this moment, the sky screen flashed, and the camera came to the sea surface, where a huge ship was galloping on the ocean. An aircraft carrier!

It makes people feel as if they are in the scene, standing in the middle of it, facing the aircraft carrier, and even feel a little bit of gigantic fear.

A deck more than ten stories high, a steel structure as big as an island, wouldn’t you be scared?

Just the opening scene was enough to stupefy everyone in front of the screen, making them forget to communicate.

The voice-over that followed also rang in everyone's ears.

[Do you know the strategic significance of aircraft carriers? Why is China trying so hard to build one? Are aircraft carriers important? ]

After hearing this opening statement, many viewers who had just watched the aircraft carrier scene in person started to curse:
"You don't even need to tell me how important this is. If I had such a big thing, I would still go to the West Ocean. The North Ocean, South Ocean, and East Ocean would all belong to my Ming Dynasty!"

Ming Dynasty, Yongle period.

After Zhu Di finished speaking, the eunuch Zheng He beside him nodded eagerly. There was no other way, as everyone who had sailed on the sea knew.

Big means strong. An aircraft carrier is so big that it is like a small island. Even if it encounters a tsunami, it will be like scratching an itch and will not threaten life at all.

There is no need to say more about the importance of this for ocean voyages.

On the other side, Zheng Chenggong, Prince of Yanping, who was also a professional sailor, was looking at the sky with fascination, and couldn't help imagining how great it would be if he could get this big guy.

But imagination is just imagination, everything must be based on reality.

The importance of this big guy is self-evident. Putting it there is his duty, and when he has it, that is when he can play his role.

Military heavy equipment is so magnificent!
Her Majesty the Queen of the Great Zhou, who is most keen on building wonders, has already begun studying the feasibility of aircraft carriers.

Women are always visual animals. How could she resist such a handsome thing!
At this time, a steady voice-over was heard in the video.

[As we all know, aircraft carriers look expensive, but in fact they are not cheap at all. Before considering their strategic significance, we need to consider their cost first.]

[Take the example of the Eagle Sauce next door. Its Ford-class aircraft carrier has received "rave reviews" since its launch, but its cost is also remarkable, which makes people wave their hands. ]

[If you want to maintain an aircraft carrier, you need an aircraft carrier fleet. Once the ammunition and arsenal are fully equipped, you will get a gold-eating beast that consumes 1287 dollars per second.]

[Oh, by the way, the US dollar is linked to gold. If you don’t understand, you will spend nearly half a tael of gold in one breath.]

"Fuck! This guy can spend more money than me!"

In the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang looked at the huge monster in the video, and the desire in his heart instantly decreased a lot.

This thing is worth much more than him.

You have to know that the entire year's revenue of the Sui Dynasty last year is not enough to maintain this thing for a month, let alone build it.

Thanks, I can't afford it!

On the other hand, this news also dealt a heavy blow to the Queen who wanted to create a spectacle.

Wu Zetian calculated that it wouldn't cost that much money to make golden bodies for all the Buddha statues in temples across the world!
As expected, powerful weapons have their drawbacks: they are too expensive!
The voice-over on the screen seemed to feel that the persuasion was not enough and continued:

[You should know that France, which is also one of the five great benefactors, only invests more than 40 billion dollars in national defense a year. In short, their annual investment can basically not maintain an aircraft carrier fleet. ]

[And this does not include depreciation and daily maintenance, nor does it include daily fuel consumption. It can be said that people without strength cannot afford it. Thank you everyone! ]
