Liang Kun nodded, he was very satisfied with Xiang Ying's answer, but he continued to ask his own questions on behalf of the army.

War is not taken for granted, I admit the strength of the Zhiyuan, but we cannot ignore the shortcomings of the Zhiyuan, that is, the disadvantage of quantity, we only have such a warship...... What if the enemy chooses to give up entanglement and divide his troops to break through after the initial defeat?

"Of course, I know this is a strategic issue rather than a tactical one, so let's ask the prime minister to solve our puzzles!"

Xiang Ying looked back at Xiao Letian and gave up the podium, Xiao Letian took a sip of water and stepped forward and said, "That's right, Liang Kun's question is actually the most troubled question before we formulate the entire strategic plan!"

"What Xiang Ying said just now is right, if it is a naval battle on the high seas, on the boundless ocean, so that the firepower, defense and cruising ability of the Yuan, there is no problem at all in killing the Russian fleet, but the key to the problem is that the enemy is not wooden people, they are all a group of living and thinking people, and they also have the ability ......to think in the face of danger."

"It is very likely that when the encounter takes place, when the enemy has suffered certain losses, they will choose to divide their forces and flee to Vladivostok in pieces...... And our grand strategy is actually to avoid the enemy's division!"

"Pierre has conducted countless jù deductions, if we use the Zhiyuan to block in the Taiwan Strait, the enemy will eventually break through 65% and join the Russian army in Vladivostok, and if we choose to block in the Tsushima Strait, the enemy will have 69% of the breakthrough successful......"

"If we choose to block the attack in the direction of the Ryukyus, that is, in the area of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, 74% of the enemy forces will be able to successfully break through by then...... To sum up, it can be seen that our success rate is indeed low!"

There was a buzz of discussion in the audience: "With such a low interception rate, it seems that at least 20,000 or more of the 30,000 reinforcements can successfully join the army, what impact can this have on the overall situation?"

"That's right, and the enemy who loses the naval battle will be even more crazy, and it is difficult to predict how much more trouble will go in the Far East!"

"Silence!" Wang Huaiyuan immediately roared when he saw the chaos of the scene, and the buzz present was immediately suppressed.

Xiao Lotian tapped the map with his baton and said coldly, "Yes, your concerns are correct, so we are going to give the enemy a trap, a bait that they would rather take risks than gnaw on...... That's the legend of the so-called Golden Treasure Island of the Pacific!"

Xiao Lotian paced slowly on the stage with his hands behind his back, looking around at the generals, "There are many things you know, and there are also many things you don't know...... Do we Chinese have money now? Let me tell you the truth, we Chinese have money!"

"China's ancestors have saved countless gold and silver treasures for thousands of years, not to mention an industrial revolution, even if we carry out three industrial revolutions in a row, it is enough for us to spend!"

"China will always be the land that God favors and loves, and we don't need to learn from the Europeans at all, because if they want to carry out the industrial revolution, they must rob and grab the first start-up capital! And we don't, our Chinese civilization has not been cut off for 5,000 years, and the wealth of our ancestors has been accumulated in the people, as long as we are good at organizing, we can have inexhaustible resources!"

"Someone said that in the past 5,000 years, China has been invaded by foreign races countless times, and a lot of wealth has been plundered...... In fact, this kind of thinking is one-sided, war will indeed destroy a certain amount of wealth, but some wealth cannot be destroyed by war!"

"For example, physical gold and silver, artistic treasures, palaces and gardens, science and technology, etc...... Let me give you the simplest example, you can understand, the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongols ruled the Central Plains in the years, there were indeed countless gold and silver treasures flowing to the steppes and into the pockets of the Mongolian nobles, but do you really think that those gold and silver have nothing to do with our China?"

"Don't be so narrow-minded, don't forget that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols in the bitter cold land of the north always missed the rich life in the warm south. They needed silk, tea, porcelain, salt, ironware...... And if they want to get these goods of the Han people in the Central Plains, they have two ways!"

"The first is robbery, and the second is to exchange gold and silver...... For a long time, these two methods have alternated, but in general, the business model has played a major role, after all, it is impossible for every Mongol to be a war maniac!"

"Therefore, the gold and silver in the hands of the Mongols in the Ming and Qing dynasties have actually been in a stage of slow return to the Central Plains, and this return is irreversible!"

"Hahaha...... Now you know why the civilization of the Central Plains has not stopped for 5,000 years, right? Because civilization is like a magnet of wealth, which will attract the wealth of the surrounding lower cultures all the time...... The Central Plains civilization has been destroyed by aliens several times, and the wealth that has been robbed will return to the embrace of the Central Plains civilization with interest in less than a hundred years......"

"Even those interests are alien land! The living space of our Chinese has expanded from the Yellow River Valley to more than 10 million square kilometers now, do you really think it is in the lottery?"

Xiao Letian said proudly, "It is precisely because I understand China's family background that I have the confidence to carry out various financial attempts, from the earliest private minting of silver coins to the current issuance of paper money, what I have done is to mobilize the gold and silver wealth scattered among the people in advance and protect it in advance......

"The legend of the Pacific Gold Treasure Island is not fake, I can tell you one thing, because my ancestors have left so much wealth, and because I have always been careful to protect this wealth, we do have a number of gold island deposits under our hands, that is the core wealth of our Lotte Bank, which is the foundation of a qiē currency issuance!"

"Taking the initiative to release the intelligence of the treasure island and using ten tons of gold as bait, the ultimate goal is to arouse the greed of the Russians, let them be fascinated by the light of gold, and let them rush towards our trap!"

"Alexander II is short of money now, Tsarist Russia is also short of money, the abolition of slavery has collapsed Russia's finances, and now in the City of London, the Russian national debt is almost to the point that no one cares......"

"If ten tons of gold were sent by the Russians to the City of London, those shrewd bankers would be able to release twenty tons of gold bonds through these ten tons of gold, and the financial credit rating of Tsarist Russia would immediately rise by a large margin!"

"People who fall into the water will never let go of any life-saving straw!"

Now the hall is completely fried, and the officers who are fortunate enough to have access to this secret in advance can still hold it up to some extent, but those who heard about the top-secret plan for the first time are all stupid, they really didn't expect the prime minister's plan to be so big.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, So Ryoma Sakamoto's defection and the conflict with the sword drawing team are all a scene? Is this all part of our plan?"

"And the financial crisis in Jiangnan! Actually, you have expected it a long time ago? Do you want to take advantage of this war to shear sheep in Jiangnan?"

"Prime Minister, tell us the truth, if we win, how much money can we pit the Manchus, foreigners, and those Qing profiteers? How much can we pit the world?"
