Chapter 64: Emperor Daoguang, Let's Conquer The Moon
Chapter 64 Emperor Daoguang, we are here to support the fire! (Please collect, vote for me, recommend, and read more)
It was July 21, the sixth year of Taiping in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhuge Weidao, who had already finished his one-month wedding leave, although he had lost a little weight, was still in high spirits and followed Navy Minister Zheng Guoan into the Chancery Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
I have to say that Zhuge Weidao's body is really strong!
This half-month vacation is really more tiring than working overtime on "997"! There is Natalie, Fairy Nalan, and Queen Mother Zheng. All three women have to cope with it.
Among them, the "output" to Natalie was the most important. With the joint efforts of Zhuge Weidao, Natalie, and Nalandili, Natalie finally stopped menstruating and was still menstruating for eight days.
I was diagnosed with Ximai pulse before.
And this is not over yet, he still has a lot of career matters to deal with - the marriage leave is provided by the Navy, but he has to attend the meeting of the military division. I don't know if it is because Ming Dynasty is now at a critical moment.
At the crossroads, the "national policy of peace" that has been implemented for more than a hundred years may undergo fundamental changes. Therefore, during this period, the military division meetings were held very intensively, with eight meetings held in one month.
The issues discussed covered a wide range of topics, including economy, politics, diplomacy, military, science and technology, trade, and investment. Almost all of them were involved. Zhuge Weidao was only a "substitute" and could not take the initiative to speak. He could only wait for other military advisors to ask him questions.
When there are no questions to answer, he can only listen carefully.
After listening to several plenary meetings of the military division, Zhuge Weidao had already discovered that the military division had actually realized that changes were coming!
Perhaps the military strategists did not realize that the Ming Dynasty and the European powers headed by Great Britain were bound to have a battle between dragons and tigers. But those sophisticated military strategists had long realized that the relatively harmonious relationship between the East and the West over the past hundred years had become difficult to maintain.
Followed.
So they also began to prepare for a possible break in the future (which is inevitable in Zhuge Weidao's view)!
At the same time, they also began to discuss how the future conflict between Eastern and Western civilizations or world war will occur?
And when they began to discuss the conflict between the East and the West, they often threw Zhuge Weidao a lot of questions - the reason why Zhuge Weidao can become a candidate military advisor is not because he has super high IQ and EQ, but because of his
After suffering a head injury, he suddenly gained the ability to "predict the future"!
Although the Zhuge family's military advisors have always maintained an image of being "able to make decisions" to the outside world, those veteran military advisors who have obtained military advisor positions through various operations know that they do not have the ability to predict the future and will change with the evolution of history and military loyalty.
The records in the "Book of Heaven" left by the king were increasingly different, and the old military advisors were also confused about the future.
After all, these military advisors only glimpsed some history on another timeline from various "heavenly books" they obtained, and did not understand the evolution of the entire history. They did not even know that King Wu Zhong's "prediction" was actually a period that took place in a parallel universe.
The true history of.
Therefore, it is difficult for them to deduce the changed history.
Zhuge Weidao knows the truth, and he also knows the complete history of another timeline until 2022, and also knows the internal logic of the evolution and development of that period of history, so he truly has the ability to "predict".
Although his "prediction" may not be completely accurate, the value of reference is still extremely high. Moreover, when Zhuge Weidao talked about these historical issues, he was very clear-cut. He obviously got the "talent" from his ancestors.
Such a "talented" Zhuge is even too important to the confused military advisors. So everyone has to ask Zhuge before he is sent out as a Taoist!
In addition to answering questions for the veteran military advisors in the military division, Zhuge Weidao also had to organize his own "Flying Printing Group" - this task was crucial to him and Daming.
Once you mess up, not only will your candidate military adviser not know when he will become a regular, but it will also strengthen the British Empire's hegemony in the West and India. That will be more gain than loss!
Therefore, Zhuge Weidao visited the Navy Airship Field several times these days, and personally boarded a "Feitian III" reconnaissance bombing airship driven by Ling Zongjun, ascending to an altitude of several hundred meters, traveling at a speed of one hundred miles per hour.
I flew to Tianjin and then transferred back to Beijing. The whole process was smooth and comfortable. If it weren't for the fact that the airbag above the head was filled with flammable hydrogen, this airship would still be very safe.
The next day, Zhuge Weidao got on the airship again, flew to the Navy Department's shooting range outside Beijing, and dropped as many as twelve 100-kilogram training bombs!
If there is a real battle, these iron lump bombs will be filled with 15% to 75% safety explosives according to different uses - that is, explosives with trinitrotoluene as the main material. The pylons can also be replaced.
Replace with more small bombs, such as twenty-four 50 kilogram bombs or forty-eight 25 kilogram bombs.
If the largest 100kg armor-piercing bullet is used, even the Sovereign Class and the Hongwu Emperor Class may not be able to withstand it. The hit rate may be a bit low, but it can still blow up enemy ships parked in the port!
Even if they can't blow up the enemy ships in the port, these airships can still throw a few mines! If hundreds of airships can be gathered together, one or two thousand mines can be dropped a day, which means tens of thousands of mines a month!
In addition, if an anti-personnel bomb with a charge of 30% hits the head of an infantry group, it will explode into a large area! Even if it does not blow up people, it can still scare people to death! How could the Asan infantry of the British Indian Army possibly
Aren't you afraid of bombs dropped from the sky?
Although Zhuge Weidao knew very well that the method of airship bombing was not the mainstream of history, but there are no good anti-aircraft weapons at the moment, it might be possible to achieve good results. Therefore, after inspecting the Ming Dynasty's airship force, which is "the best in the sky", Zhuge Weidao's confidence has increased.
It's quite enough.
After finishing the above two major events, on July 19, Zhuge Weidao sent his pregnant wife to the Xishan Villa with great fanfare, letting her rest there and wait for childbirth. The next day after arriving at Xishan, he also led
Natalie went to Xishan Palace and visited Queen Mother Zheng who was cultivating herself there.
So today he came directly from Xishan Palace and went out early in the morning. Now sitting in the Ministerial Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he felt a little sleepy and yawned non-stop.
Just as he was feeling sleepy here, Lin Zexu, who was sitting in the main seat in the middle hall, suddenly smiled and spoke to Zheng Guoan, the Minister of the Navy: "Zheng Shangshu, are your naval advisory group ready?"
Lin Zexu and Lin Zhongtang looked very excited and couldn't wait.
However, no matter how anxious he was to see the British suffer misfortune, he still had to wait patiently for the Navy. The Army had assembled the manpower of the advisory group - after more than a month of putting it together, the two advisory groups together amounted to almost one thousand and five people.
One hundred people!
In order to ensure that these 1,500 people could perform meritorious services, the Navy Ministry and the Army Ministry spent a lot of money. Not only did they support the Jin Empire with a batch of machine guns and artillery, but they also provided ten airships and twenty inflatable armed rubber boats.
Now we have all three armies: sea, land and air! If Emperor Daoguang is really unwilling to "print", this advisory group can bully a British-Indian army.
When Zheng Guoan heard Lin Zexu's question, he turned around with a smile and looked at the sleepy-looking Zhuge Weidaofa and asked: "Brother Daozi, how are you preparing?"
Zhuge Weidao immediately cheered up and said with a smile: "Shang Shu, the naval advisory group is ready and can set off to Central Asia at any time to help the Kingdom of Jin run its navy!"
Zheng Guoan looked back at Lin Zexu.
Lin Zexu smiled and said: "Okay, let's set off in three days!"
Chapter completed!
