Volume VIII 1219 Land of Ambush

Next chapter

Lost the east corner of the mulberry harvest, this is almost Xiao Letian's mood now. After the Bai Layi tragedy, Xiao Letian was distressed and couldn't sleep all night, he was afraid that the Chinese people he raised with his own hands would eventually become monsters that devoured human flesh, and he could sacrifice 10,000 people today under the banner of justice, and he might be able to sacrifice 100,000 people under other banners tomorrow.

This is not alarmism, think about the years of warlord scuffle, those grass-headed kings who did not consider themselves righteous? Open the history books of China, the tragedy that drove the displaced people to attack the city was not once or twice, let alone the massacres of those fortified and cleared fields.

It is really an unexpected gain to be able to pass the Guò Bai Layi tragedy, which forced a "Secrecy Act" and the "Bottom Limit Law", to put it bluntly, the secrecy bill is to use a long time to dilute the impact of some sensitive ** pieces, and the bottom limit law can install a restrained handcuff on the infighting.

I don't dare to expect that the future Chinese leadership will become moral gentlemen, and that kind of unrealistic extravagance is inherently against human nature. But at least there are some rules that can restrain them from being unscrupulous, which is the limit of what Xiao Lotian can do.

Maybe with the passage of time, as Xiao Letian leaves the center of political power, people's hearts may be repeated, and his own laws may be destroyed by careerists, but after all, he, the founder of the Chinese family, has created a weapon of protection in the system, and some people want to destroy nature and some people want to protect.

I dare not say that such a system can be done once and for all, at least with such a system, it can create certain obstacles for later careerists, and it can also provide one more weapon for future generations of guardians.

Internal fighting is always more cruel and complicated than external fighting, and the enemies around you are always more dangerous and terrifying than external enemies!

Xiao Lotian has done everything he can, and before the war, he was able to clean up the hearts of the people and make up for the cracks in the hearts of the people, which is really a kind of luck for the Chinese people, I dare not imagine that if it is on the battlefield, if the people's hearts conflict because of factional disputes, it will have a bad impact on the war situation.

Ending the heavy topic, those present breathed a sigh of relief, and the conversation continued to return to the upcoming outbreak of war.

"The location of this decisive battle has been chosen, and this is just north of the Ryukyus...... Xiao Lotian opened a huge map of the Ryukyu Islands and pointed to a huge island north of the main island of the Ryukyus.

280 kilometers northeast of the main island of the Ryukyus is an important island called Amami Oshima by the people of Fuso and the Ryukyus. This island is located in the middle of Kyushu and the main island of the Ryukyus, making it an important island.

Amami Oshima Island has a mountainous and jungle coastline with a complex and varied coastline, with a total area of more than 700 square kilometers and more than 30,000 permanent residents.

It is a very important sugar and rum production base in the Ryukyu Kingdom, and it is also a very popular holiday destination for Xiao Rakuten, who basically visits Amami Oshima once a year to taste the local rum and rice, and to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mangrove coast.

Of course, a vacation is just an excuse, and one of the real purposes of Xiao Lotian's visit to Amami Oshima is because of the island's secret vault.

Amami Oshima is mountainous, with the highest peak being Tangwan Mountain at 694 meters above sea level, known as the 694 Highlands on military maps, and it is in this mountain that Xiao Lotian used modern tools such as explosives to excavate a very hidden and largest secret vault in the Pacific Ocean.

Xiao Letian knows the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and the future war will not only rely on giant ships and cannons, but also rely on hard currencies such as gold, jewelry and even art.

In international bulk transactions, paper money is actually not wanted, and countries would rather accept physical transactions than those unsafe credit currencies.

Especially during the war, those non-participating countries will definitely try their best to make war money, and at that time, Xiao Letian wants to purchase any arms and the like, and he can't rely on gold.

In peacetime, the amount of gold stored in the Amami Oshima vault for a long time is about four tons, and with a large amount of hard currency such as silver ingots and jewelry, it is enough for Rakuten Bank to stabilize the credit of banknotes.

And now, in order to deal with the upcoming Russian fleet, in order to deal with the Jiangnan banknote crisis, Xiao Lotian secretly transferred three batches of gold from the more hidden gold island in the east, in fact, the total amount of gold in the Amami Oshima vault has already exceeded ten tons, according to the accounts of Rakuten Bank, the amount of gold in the Amami Oshima vault at this moment should be 409177 ounces, that is, 11.6 tons.

Not only that, but there are also 21 tons of minted high-purity silver ingots, 2.1 million dragon silver coins, and countless jewels of all kinds.

"The future of the Chinese community is at stake, so instead of using fake baits, we choose to use real money to attract those cunning enemies...... Any adequate preparation in the face of war is necessary!"

"Since the information about the Amami Oshima vault was released, more than a dozen groups of spies of unknown origin have been visited here, and even the CIA has found some rats in Rakuten Bank...... If our guess is correct, the owner behind these rats must be the British!"

"In this naval battle, our enemy is not only Russia, but also the entire Western world led by Britain, although from the analysis of the European political situation, the British are willing for us to defeat the Russians, but they prefer a lose-lose victory, the natural hostility of the Westerners to the Easterners dooms us not to be friends, but only to be competitors......"

"So don't complain that I have taken out all the wealth of the Chinese family, because if you want to successfully deceive the opponent, the best way is to come up with a real bait to lure the enemy!"

"Amami Oshima is not actually an island, but is divided into two parts, north and south, with the main island occupying 80% of the area in the north, and a narrow east-west island in the south of the main island, called Ryuma Island......"

"Between Lyuma Island and the main island, there is a long and narrow strait, which the locals call Sachuan Bay, which is about 20 kilometers long from east to west, and only 2.5 kilometers wide at the narrowest point, which is our final ambush site, and our purpose is to bury the Russian expeditionary fleet here......"

Everyone present was stunned by this bold battle plan, but judging from the map, Sachuan Bay is indeed a very good ambush place, long and narrow, and the two entrances are narrow.

As long as the entrance to the east and west is blocked, the enemy will become a rat in the pocket, and can only be slaughtered by the new army, and victory is only a matter of time. But is war really taken for granted?

"Prime Minister, I have two questions...... First, how can we guarantee that a cunning enemy will enter the bay? It stands to reason that the Russians could not be unaware of the danger in such terrain, unless the commander of their expeditionary force was an idiot. ”

"The second question is, even if the Russians enter the strait, what will we use to block the enemy? You must know that there is only one Zhiyuan, and the other sail warships are all training ships? Those warships have long been outdated......
