Chapter 545: The warp and weft in Mai Ke's chest
The ground has recovered Australia, and Mai Ke's thoughts in mid-air have drifted to all parts of the world.
I don't know how he got a large globe and put it in front of him and Peter, facing the continents and oceans of the world to design the future of the kingdom of heaven.
If a huge naval base is built between Australia and Papua New Guinea, and then radiates to all the waters of the globe. Then the lead at sea is established.
Mai Ke turned the globe, found the continent of Australia and the Sulu Islands, called Peter over, asked him to concentrate in the same area, and said: "Our brothers and sons will rarely see each other for a period of time in the future, and today we are in the sky over this area, so I will talk to you about some of my ideas and formulate a marine development strategy." ”
Peter said, "All right, why don't you drink a bottle of 80 degrees to help the fun?" Peter was always thinking about Mai Ke's special liquor.
Mai Ke scolded him as a "drunkard" and took out a bottle and threw it to him.
Mai Ke took out a whip, pointed to the corresponding area on the globe, and said: "You see, this is the Pacific Covenant that we are going to establish, at present, including at least six holy cities, four have been taken, that is, Gaman, Bliss, Eastern Australia, and Western Australia;
"These six holy cities will be the stable rear of the Tianping Ocean Fleet, and they will also be the strategic rear of the entire Heavenly Kingdom Fleet, and all supporting facilities will be established in the future for a period of time.
"These supporting facilities include military ports, civilian ports, shipyards, repair plants, oil refineries, gas stations, weapons manufacturing, logistics supplies, hospitals, recuperation, and so on.
The main military port was built between the island of Papua New Guinea and Cape York, and the current fleet consists mainly of the Pacific Fleet under the command of David. After the defeat of the Manchus, the Wenfu fleet and the Napoleonic fleet will also belong to the Pacific Fleet.
"Where are you taking an American fleet, and what's the situation now?" Mai Ke looked at Peter and said, "You don't seem to be very competent as the commander of the fleet." ”
"It's still the same lieutenant, who is always suspicious of me! But I've arranged for a few people to spy on him. There shouldn't be any tricks. Peter then smiled and said, "We have been making such a big disturbance in the South Pacific lately, and in order to prevent them from causing trouble, I have sent them to Vladivostok and the Sea of Japan to deal with Lao Maozi and Little Japan." ”
"Gao!" Mai Ke gave him a thumbs up, and then said, "Wait for everything here, you go to your fleet and get rid of that lieutenant once and for all." It's best to be obedient, and if you don't submit to him, let him go to the heavenly prison to spend his old age in peace!"
"What. He wasn't even thirty years old. In his old age?"
"Ha Luha, reasonable prediction, it is estimated that such a person is difficult to change. And what happened to us now?"
"Speaking of which, those fleets belong to the Pacific Fleet. You mentioned the American fleet. Wait a minute. Are you making the U.S. fleet belong to the Pacific Fleet?"
"That's how it should be at the moment. But if the Atlantic Fleet is built. Maybe go there. After all, the United States has a longer coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. What do you think?"
"It can be returned to the Pacific Ocean for the time being, and it will be necessary later, and the fleets of those European countries are also on the Atlantic coast, aren't they also in the Pacific Ocean now?"
"Okay!
Then Mai Ke and Peter drew several virtual routes. See how the Pacific Navy of the Kingdom of Heaven reaches all parts of the world through the vast sea.
The two men unanimously agreed that in the absence of strategic transport planes at present, ocean transportation is still the only feasible channel for long-distance transfer of troops or materials.
And if it is transported in large quantities, even in the distant future, it will have to rely on sea transportation.
Judging from the present situation, although the territory of the South Pacific and the Western Plains has basically been completed, the Eastern Pacific and the North Pacific have not yet been started, and even the South Pacific and the coastal areas of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have not yet been developed.
From the naval base, almost eight or nine thousand kilometers to the east, is the west coast of the United States, and at the same time, from the west, it also reaches all the coastal countries of North and South America.
Another route to the east is through the Strait of Magellan, into the Atlantic Ocean, and then from the south to the north to sweep South America, and after that, continue to the north to the east coast of the United States, and after coming to the United States, it is Canada.
If you enter the Arctic Ocean, you can pass through the Bering Strait through the eastern route, which is relatively close, and if you attack Canada from the east coast, you can pass directly through Baffin Bay and then pass through the Elizabeth Islands.
The west side of Australia is directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean, so it is not too difficult to enter the coastal countries of the Indian Ocean, the north coast of the Indian Ocean is the main countries such as India and Pakistan in South Asia, and its west coast is even African countries.
Adjacent to the west of the Indian Ocean is the Atlantic Ocean, and entering the Atlantic Ocean is to reach the east coast of Africa.
The warships that traveled westward, after reaching Africa, went all the way north, then into Europe, until they reached Northern Europe, and finally crossed the Greenland Channel and entered the Arctic Ocean.
The southern coast of the Arctic Ocean is the northern coastline of Russia, which makes up the vast majority of the coastline of the Arctic Ocean.
"It can be seen that most countries in the world can be reached by sea, and there are basically no natural obstacles compared to land transportation. There are no artificial barriers. Mai Ke concluded.
"That's not bad, there are very few lands in the world that have no lords, but there are very few oceans that have masters! Therefore, whoever has the greatest naval power is the master of the sea, the overlord of the sea!" Peter laughed.
Mai Ke laughed: "Yes! In the future, you Peter will definitely be the sea overlord!
"Okay, let's talk about a specific problem -- how to speed up the ship! Every city on the coast, our gunboats, although theoretically able to get there, but they can't arrive in time when needed, in practice it is still the same!" Mai Ke changed the subject.
"Building super-large aircraft, perhaps, is a direction?" said Peter, uncertainly.
"It may be possible in the future, but it doesn't seem to be possible at present, and even the technology of small aircraft has not yet passed. You have to find a way to do it from the waterway. I think so, do you think it's okay?"
Then Mai Ke said that he had been thinking about a solution all along.
According to Mai Ke's plan, two underwater tunnels will be built with the permanent base in the Pacific Ocean as the center, one from the Bering Strait to the Arctic Ocean, and the other along the meridian south of the equator to circle the earth.
The tunnel is accessible to the largest ships, powered by electricity generated by ocean generators, and can reach the naval base at the end of the tunnel in less than an hour.
Then rise to the surface and continue to complete short voyages and participate in battles.
"If there is no problem with continuing, I think it is okay. If he succeeds, the Heavenly Navy will be invincible!" Peter said excitedly, and Mai Keke never let him down!
"Okay! We now deal with what is in front of us. (To be continued......)
