"Talk! Of course we have to talk!" Zheng Guozhong smiled and took out a Mexican cigar, and then took out a gold-plated Chibi lighter, lit the cigarette, and took a nice puff, "This battle was well fought.

, they have used enough bargaining chips! The British monarchy is no match for the Port Arthur class, and the Indomitable was sunk by our airship again. Their weapons are so bad, what will happen even if Nelson and Wellington come to India?

?Now that I have the advantage, we can ask for a lot of money! Shao Mu, do you think this is true?"

Lin Zexu has also arrived at Zheng Guozhong's office and is smiling from ear to ear!

Hearing what Prime Minister Zheng said, Lin Dazhongtang twitched his beard and said: "If we suffer a loss this time, we will have to increase our bets because we have been stable for more than a hundred years, and everyone will inevitably be a little wary. If

If we lose the first battle and admit the loss, it will be difficult to stand up in the future. Fortunately, we have won the battle, and it is a big victory, so we have to give up when we are good, eat the fruits of victory first, and then digest it.

Prepare for the next battle."

The current mentality of Zheng Guozhong and Lin Zexu is similar to that of the "British God of Gamblers" George Canning. If you are lucky and have a lot of capital, of course you will play small ones one by one. If you see a good deal, you will accept it. If you accumulate a small amount, you can make a big sum.

It's a win. If you lose your hand once you play the stud, it will be too late to cry.

"What Shao Mu said is absolutely true," Zhuge Weiyi, the Minister of the Navy, also looked relaxed this time, holding a cup of tea in his hand and smiling while sipping it, "Judging from the results of the Battle of Jiyi, the British

Our navy is a little out of step with the times, and must be transformed accordingly, and new warships must be designed and built.

In addition, their airships cannot be compared with ours at all. They are at least 10 or even 20 years behind. If they do not catch up, even Earl Nelson will not dare to fight. If they fight, they will lose! And as long as they dare not fight, then

We can charge as much as you want!"

Zheng Guozhong puffed on his cigar, looked at Zhuge Weiyi with a smile and said: "Ziyi, if we give Britain 10 years to prepare well, can they catch up in shipbuilding and airships?"

Zhuge Weiyi is an expert in shipbuilding, and airships were previously classified as "shipbuilding", so he is an expert in everything. When he heard Zheng Guozhong's question, he confidently said: "The reason they can't catch up is because we haven't used our real trump card yet!"

"besides?"

"What is it? Can you tell me?"

"Ziyi, stop hiding it!"

Zheng Guozhong, Mr. Yu, and Lin Zexu suddenly became interested and made inquiries.

Zhuge Weiyi glanced at Zhuge Weiyong, who nodded. Zhuge Weiyi smiled and said: "Two Prime Ministers, Lin Zhongtang. We not only have those flying in the sky, floating on the water, but also swimming underwater. Now.

What I have brought out are only the trump cards in the sky, on the water, and under the water, but they have not been used yet. Those are the truly powerful methods!"

It turns out that the Ming Navy has been secretly building and equipping submarines for a long time!

Even though the Ming Navy has the best Hongwu Emperor class in the world, the naval experts of the Zhuge family really value weapons in the sky and underwater. Because according to the heavenly book passed down by the ancestors, submarines are the ones that can destroy the world.

The ultimate killer!

Because submarines can eventually be developed into the ultimate killer weapon, they must be developed quietly. Even officials at the level of Zheng Guozhong, Yu Quan, and Lin Zexu did not know that the Navy had this submarine project.

"Swimming underwater?" Zheng Guozhong's eyes widened, "Can cannons be fired underwater?"

"Don't fire cannons, fire torpedoes," Zhuge Wei said, "Sneakly approach the enemy's warship from underwater, then launch torpedoes, and hit them accurately."

Lin Zexu asked: "Where is the progress? Can it be put into use?"

"There are currently three test boats." Zhuge Weiyang answered the question and said, "They are all undergoing secret testing at the home fleet base in Qingdao, Shandong."

Zhuge Weiyi added: "There are also three test boats under construction in the naval shipyard of Lushun Military Port. These test boats are equipped with torpedo launch tubes and can be put into actual combat."

"Okay, that's good!" Zheng Guozhong was completely relieved now. He smiled and said to the old man, Lin Zexu, "Right Minister, Shao Mu, what do you think? How much benefit should we ask from Great Britain and Japan?"

Yu Quan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Wu will take full control of the negotiations with Daying. Let's listen to his opinion first. As for how much benefits we can ask for from Japan, I think we can let the Eighteenth Military Advisor contact the Japanese side first.

, and see what they mean.”

Zheng Guozhong looked at Lin Zexu again, and Lin Zexu said: "Your Majesty, Japan's treatment is not determined by the outcome of the war between us and Great Britain, but by Japan's own attitude. The more Japan can fight, the better its treatment will be.

The higher it is. The Ming eagle dog naturally needs to be able to fight to be useful!"

Zheng Guozhong nodded, "Understood! Japan has hundreds of thousands of samurai families and a population of more than 30 million. If the whole country can be mobilized, an army of one million can be mobilized."

"What the prince said is absolutely true," Zhuge Weiyi said. "The battle at sea is about industry. Even if we win or lose, we won't die. We can do it ourselves. In land battles, we must first not be afraid of hardship and secondly, not be afraid of death."

If the Japanese are willing to fight for our people, then there is no need to worry about the public opinion below."

Zheng Guozhong stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right. What we and Great Britain are fighting for is world hegemony, but neither one can attack the other's homeland. Since there is no danger in the homeland, recruiting people to serve as soldiers is not a good idea.

Done. If Japan can really send out one million troops to help, then we will definitely win."

A war involving millions of troops is nothing in history. But for France, Germany, the Rakshasa Kingdom, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Turkish Empire who participated in the First World War, it was really a battle of life and death. They were defeated.

, the enemy is about to attack your home, you can't do it unless you fight hard.

But now Great Britain and Ming Dynasty are not fighting a battle of life and death, but fighting for world leadership. Britain is a small country that relies on the import of wealth from its colonies to live a decent life. There may be a little more urgency. Great tomorrow

Chaoshang Kingdom has a land area of ​​18 million square kilometers, as well as Siam, Annam, Chenla, Burma, Nanzhang, Korea and other vassals. The days are so nourishing, how strong can the people be in fighting spirit?

If the common people don't want to fight a mountain of blood, this world war will be difficult to fight. Historically, the United States before World War II was probably in the same situation. The upper-class elite group had already made plans, but the lower-class people didn't want to fight, so it was easy to survive until Japan

The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor

Now, the British will definitely not bomb the mainland of Ming Dynasty. They don’t have the tools to commit crimes if they want to bomb it, so it is still necessary for Ming Dynasty to find a cannon fodder country!

However, the cannon fodder country can only act as cannon fodder, and can never take advantage of the opportunity of being cannon fodder to turn around and counterattack. Therefore, this dog leash must be tightened tighter.

Thinking of this, Zheng Guozhong said again: "If we want Japan to be this vicious dog, then we have to put a thick and long iron chain on them! Tokugawa Jiaqi will not be happy, what should we do?

all?"

Lin Zexu smiled and said: "Of course it's divide and conquer!"

"Divide and conquer? How?"

"Of course we must separate Britain and Japan first!" Lin Zexu said, "Without the support of Britain, Japan will have no foreign aid. Relying on their own strength, we can also lock Japan down with the method of blockade!"

"Okay!" Zheng Guozhong clapped his hands, "That's it. Ziyi, Yongzhi, you two are Daozi's brothers or his superiors. You and Daozi should discuss what to do."

Zhuge Wenyong nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, I have already booked a train compartment and will set off for Busan tonight!"

"Okay!" Zheng Guozhong nodded, and then said to Lin Zexu, "Shaomu, how should we tell the embassies of various countries about the Kii Waterway incident?"

Lin Zexu said: "Of course I am telling the truth. This is a war caused by the smuggling of pornographic films!"
