Chapter 805: If you don't fight, you're afraid of three points
If the Empire backs down on the Kean Oil Incident, it means that the Empire's oil blockade strategy will be invalidated, allowing other countries to use oil as fuel in the power field.
But for this reason, it is impossible to start a war with the seven great powers!
Besides, the time has not yet come for a war, and the Great Heng Empire, to be honest, is not ready for a large-scale war!
The army is still at the top level of the Blue Star countries, and it is easy to mobilize, but the Imperial Navy will be much more troublesome.
Entering February of the 15th year of Qiansheng, the first batch of unified heavy artillery ships of the empire, the Ningyu-class battleships and the average battlecruisers are still under construction, the technical difficulty of this new type of warship is very high, and the research and development and production progress of many important subsystems is not fast, and the 300 mm 45 times caliber main gun used in it has found many problems in the first batch of trial production barrels, resulting in the ability of the barrel to withstand chamber pressure lower than the design value, resulting in the need to modify the design.
According to the construction schedule, it is estimated that the construction of the first Ningyu will not be completed until October this year, and this epoch-making new warship will need to be trained for at least several months before it can form combat effectiveness.
Moreover, even such cutting-edge warships need a certain number to be able to form a strategic deterrent.
Otherwise, a few warships, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, but it is not powerless in the face of the huge fleets of various countries, after all, what the Daheng Imperial Navy needs to do is not to control and defend the local coast, but to protect the sea routes, which requires not one or two new warships, but a huge fleet.
Seriously, if you don't get a dozen or twenty unified heavy artillery warships, you can't even maintain the supply lines at sea, so what kind of force can you talk about, if you don't send this force out, then what kind of war will you fight, is it possible to sit at home and wait for the seven major powers to send landing troops to the door?
People are not stupid!
In this world, the countries that dare to take the initiative to land on the Daheng Empire and attack the mainland of the Daheng Empire have not yet appeared, even if the seven major powers join forces, it is estimated that they do not have the courage.
In the thousands of years of the Great Heng Empire, although the navy was quite strong most of the time, now the navy of the Great Heng Empire is the strongest in history, and it is the second in the world.
However, what the Great Heng Empire is most proud of, and what makes other countries fear is actually the army of the Great Heng Empire.
Flip through the history books and check the countless countries on the central continent that were destroyed by the Great Heng people, and you will know how strong the Great Heng people are when they fight on the ground.
If you think that the ancient history is too long, then look at the Hengao War, which has only been a few decades ago, and the army of the Great Heng Empire at that time went to the southern continent to fight against the coalition forces of various countries.
If this is not enough, then look at the unification war of the Great Heng Empire, these Heng barbarians, even fighting a civil war can set off the innovation of the world's army, and make the rear outfit strong, skirmisher line light infantry tactics, which directly leads to the reform of the armies of countries around the world.
And in the Lieji Incident a few years ago, the Daheng Imperial Army once again let the world see what the strongest army on the surface is!
A lonely fortress of Bois, the Gafia Empire has mobilized more than 200,000 troops to besiege for several months, and finally failed to overcome it with heavy casualties.
To put it mildly, the entire Blue Star Army, regardless of whether it is the Army of the Krull Kingdom or the Army units of other major countries, is all crossing the river by touching the Army of the Great Heng Empire, and has been learning the Army of the Great Heng Army.
Otherwise, why is it that the establishment of the armies of all countries is now one division and two brigades, and they are not all the establishment of the Daheng people!
And the most important thing is that the Daheng Army has always been imitated, but it has never been surpassed!
If other countries let them fight with the Daheng Imperial Navy, they won't be afraid of anything, but if you let them fight with the Daheng Army, they will be afraid of three points before they fight!
And if you want to land in the Daheng Empire, you have to fight with the Daheng Army, it is not the tens of thousands of troops sent overseas by the Daheng Empire, but the army of millions at every turn, even if the seven major powers unite to attack the Daheng mainland, they have to be numb!
Therefore, as long as the major powers do not have convulsions, it is basically impossible to land on the mainland of Daheng.
In this case, wars will take place mainly at sea and overseas.
This posed a severe test to the Imperial Navy.
And until the Imperial Navy completes a thorough overhaul and produces a large number of unified heavy gunboats, Lin Ziran does not plan to have a full-scale war overseas.
It's time for the Kean oil affair to settle down, and if it continues, it's easy to get out of control and cause unnecessary trouble.
However, Kean oil cannot be let go lightly, and other countries must not be allowed to easily obtain Kean oil.
In this case, a proxy war in the Kean area and let the war destroy oil production is the best option!
Proxy wars, the Great Heng Empire is very skilled now, and now it is playing on the side of the Dynaudio Kingdom.
Now the civil war in the Kingdom of Dynaudio is still continuing, with the support of the Daheng Empire, Prince Zhou Yaping's army has completely controlled the northern region of the Kingdom of Dynaudio, and the overall situation is still very good.
According to the estimation of the military advisers of the Great Heng Empire, according to the current rhythm of fighting, it is estimated that by the autumn of the fifteenth year of Qiansheng, the northern army will be able to kill the seaside of the endless strait.
Provided, of course, that Olisa's garrison in the Kingdom of Tanor does not go to war.
It is estimated that they will not dare to participate in the war, if the army of their Orissa Empire dares to participate in the war directly, the huge imperial army will go directly south, and swallow the hundreds of thousands of troops that the Orissa Empire is still deployed in the Kingdom of Tannar directly.
When the time comes, it will be the time when a full-scale war breaks out between the Great Heng Empire and the Orissa Empire!
Everybody knows that!
Therefore, the Olisa Empire sent weapons, ammunition and food to the Southern Army, but did not dare to directly order their troops stationed in several military bases in the Kingdom of Tanor to participate in the war.
Today's Kingdom of Tannar is a typical proxy war, Daheng and Olisa each support the northern army and the southern army to fight each other, not to mention weapons and ammunition, they will also help train and even give advice, but the two sides themselves did not end up in person.
The example of the Danna Civil War made the Daheng Empire also understand and familiarize itself with the model of proxy war.
Therefore, it is not reliable to directly start a war with the Seven Powers for the sake of the oil fields, but it is not very difficult to support the local opposition and bring in the Liejians to muddy the situation in the Kean area.
In the event of a war in the Kean area, even though the Kean field has abundant reserves, it is not known when it will be able to reach the estimated annual production capacity of 10 million tons.
