Chapter 572: Lao Xiao's Blood and Tears

When the document of the Suzhou Port incident, which shocked the world, was reported on Xiao Hui's desk, Lao Xiao took a sip of tea. But he waved off his subordinates and did not give any explanation for the time being.

Today's Song Kingdom has woken up to this in terms of strength, but the problem is that it is beyond Xiao Hui's estimate, and now they are also awakened in politics and attitude?

The Great Demon King's method of dealing with the Bohai Sea issue is too extreme and impulsive, but he is very helpless, as long as he dares, it really stumps Lao Xiao?

"This kid ...... him"

Lao Xiao held his breath with a black line on his face, "He is really a famous person, it is estimated that he had not thought about this step before, so he was surprised, and he could really stump everyone." ”

In Xiao Hui's view, it is indeed possible that Wang Yan will abandon the Guangnan friction issue, and in order to inject silver into the Daimyo's mansion to complete full industrialization, he will adopt the strategy of declaring war on the Jurchens by seizing the East China Sea trade route.

But no matter what, Xiao Hui couldn't figure it out that he was so mad that he authorized the Great Song Navy frigate to enter the port of Suzhou in the Liao State to make a bang, and then slipped away. Isn't he crazy?

It's just bullying people and bullying them to the home, this is the evil method of the super hooligans.

It's a pity that the Liao State itself is not angry, and most of the Liao Navy was dreaming when the Song Army frigate entered the port and bombarded wildly. However, there was a general who was surprised by the bones and was loyal to his duty, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he sent someone to report it, and at the same time urgently dispatched the warships of the Liao State to the port.

If the navy can respond immediately, sinking the Song frigate according to the responsibility of invading territorial waters is a reasonable defense.

However, I couldn't do it, I couldn't react, and I was beaten up and left after work, which is really intelligible.

In the Suzhou Port Incident, a Liao warship sank, and it was the loyal naval general who sailed out in time. They used bed crossbows to attack the Song frigate, but because of the flag of the Liao State Leather Room Army, the Song Army frigate did not return fire, but used the method of collision, hitting the inferior Liao warship into the water, causing the Liao army to jump into the sea and flee for their lives.

At this point, the Song robbers threw down some life jackets and other things, and drove a corvette with a speed of twenty knots away from the battlefield. Only one of the Liao sailors who jumped into the sea was frozen to death, and the others were basically uninjured.

These are all the newspapers that Lao Xiao received.

Theoretically, the Song army did not declare war on Liao, and the impact was an accident. But this understanding depends on the person, the doves have the doves' way of understanding, and the hawks are not easy to say, if they accidentally look at him, he has to ask "what do you see".

This investigation report of the Suzhou Navy is full of dovish thinking in favor of the Song state.

This means that the port of Suzhou at that time was too terrible, and the Song army's absolute coercion was a dominating and complete advantage. Those warlords who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, Lao Xiao is also fed up with them. It shows that their navy army does not dare to fight with that kind of Song army at all.

So now, the more neutral Lao Xiao is facing a big problem: do you recognize this investigation report of the Suzhou Navy Army?

If the Privy Council of the Northern Mansion admits this dovish investigation report, the hard-liners led by Xiao Yanshan will definitely jump and scold the street. But if you don't admit it, now many people are shocked by the sword of the Great Demon King, do you really want to fight a full-scale war with the Song State for the sake of those powerful Jurchens?

It's a dilemma.

Speaking of the Jurchens, it is not a good thing, although they are controlled by the Liao State, they have different intentions, as if they always want to deliberately make things bigger by the orders of the Liao State, even if the bureaucracy is planning a soft confrontation mode of the period.

"Anyway, Lao Tzu was made dumplings this time. The little devil slapped me, but the unfashionable Liao State Navy submitted an investigation report with a pigeon mentality, and it could really pit my old Xiao politically. ”

For this reason, Lao Xiao thought about it all night, but he still didn't know how to respond to this incident. I don't know when I will submit this matter to Emperor Yelu Hongji for approval.

When it is presented to the emperor, it is the last moment, and there must basically be an explanation. At that time, it was either war or peace, it was as simple as that.

Yelu Hongji's urine Lao Xiao knows that he is slightly strong on the surface, but in fact he is a dove mentality, he loves development, grasps development, but does not love war in his bones.

Therefore, the timing of submitting to the emperor is very important, and if the emperor is unprepared to submit it too early, he is young and face-loving, and he is forced to the palace by other militants, and he is likely to start Lanyuan 2.0. But the 2.0 situation is more complex than 1.0. At least the foundation of the two countries has been reversed, Han Qi is tougher than Kou Zhun, and he Yelu Hongji does not have the prestige and centralized power of Empress Dowager Xiao at that time.

It is certain that the Jurchens will participate in the war, and the Western Xia has taken a breath of old anger on the Qingtang issue and is waiting for an opportunity to vent.

In addition, the whole country of the Wa Kingdom has entered the chicken blood and completely sided with the Song State. Goryeo Li Xiahui's, I really don't know what she will do?

Dali is a real pigeon, but it is possible to join the Song camp and send troops at a critical moment.

So in Lao Xiao's view, the current climate, once a war starts, may be World War I.

Lao Xiao doesn't know if he wins the fight, but Lao Xiao's plan is not like this. This is not a trivial matter, and before thinking clearly about whether it is advantageous to fight a war or shrink his head, Lao Xiao does not want this incident to form a hype prematurely.

Whether to fight or not to fight, it is okay for Lao Xiao. But depending on the climate, Lao Xiao just wants to watch a group of wild dogs bite Song Guo first, and doesn't want to be an old tiger and pinch up with the young hunter first, so that a group of wild dogs can see the joke?

So Xiao Hui decisively decided to suppress the matter for the time being, and did not communicate diplomatically. For the time being, the right to pursue responsibility is reserved, but the main thing is to observe the movements of the Jiaozhi people in Quang Nam, and the movements of Maitreya and Manichaeism in the southeastern region of the Song Kingdom.

When the period is ripe, there is no reason to go to war, and politics is a special thing. But the time is not ripe to make an egg, Liao does have a lot of guns now, but it is mainly provided by the Song State.

Liaoguo began to develop its own machine tools, but the efficiency was too low and the quality was too poor.

Liao's own comprador businessmen are now simply great believers made in the Song Kingdom, as long as the "Song State imports" are mentioned, in the Liao State is synonymous with high-end atmosphere and grade, anything is said to be made in the Liao State, from the powerful to the commoners, all of them have a mocking face that admires the foreign and sneers.

This made Yelu Hongji complain and feel sad at the same time, there is a long way to go, backwardness is backwardness.

The same gear, the appearance is the same, the service life of the Song State is nearly seven times that of the Liao State Manufacturing, how can the Chinese people be patriotic?

Liao Guo also made guns himself, even if it was a Song State machine tool, but unless the barrel and iron rod were imported from the Song State, who would dare to use the explosion rate of 5 per 1,000?

Speaking of which, the Liao officers looked like they wanted to commit suicide when they saw the guns made by the Liao State themselves, and they could only fool the recruits to carry the Liao guns, but all the generals and veterans snatched up every batch of Song Suifa guns and offered them as art collections.

These are the first three rows to take the lead, and these are the realities.

The Liao State itself produced gunpowder. However, the gunpowder of the Song Kingdom was loaded with a range of 550 paces, and it could be used in most harsh environments and climates. The gunpowder of the Liao State often failed to hit, or shrank to a range of 400 paces.

Even the paper wrapped in gunpowder had to be imported from the Song Kingdom, after all, the paper was invented by the Han people, and the man-made paper of the Liao Kingdom could be like cowhide, not only could not ignite the sparks, but it was simply to prevent flame retardant, so that the flintlock pistol could not be fired.

It's okay not to use a paper bag, but the efficiency of the charge is too low, the soldier's hands are a bit rough, controlling the amount of charge is a joke, sometimes there is only a hundred paces of range, sometimes it will cause the kinetic energy to be unable to vent, and even the high-precision barrel of the Song State can be blown up by them. Or the combat efficiency is so low that even a horse thief's bow and arrow can't beat it.

These are the domestic situations in Liao during this year. The most nonsense is that now the whole country worships Song Guo, and the mother's charge is too much and the flintlock pistol is blown up, which can obviously be regarded as a quality problem to go to the Song State to touch porcelain, but their own officers all said with a mocking face, "The Liao State is abolished, and no matter how good the equipment is, as long as the Liao people get their hands on it, something will happen."

This is the blood and tears of the Liao people in Lao Xiao's eyes, which has reached this point. In short, the import of the Song Kingdom is flawless, and the problem must be "the Liao people will not use it".

It's really not Xiao Hui bragging, the current situation is really so strange. It's just a god logic with Xu Langshan. You say that it is okay for the profiteers of the Song State to throw the pot like this, but the profiteers of the Song State are not angry about this kind of thing, on the contrary, a group of Liao people are talking about the full moon of foreign countries, and they are washing the floor of Song products with their own lunch boxes.

On the other hand, the pill party of the Song State is much more objective, and they often despise the uselessness of their own Song products. Even Xu Langshan and their factories are often scolded for being full of money, saying that they are profiteers with poor quality and poor design, and they know how to make money without caring about user experience.

In short, no matter what country the pill party is, it is like this.

If Liao Guo owned Xu Langshan's factory, Yelu Hongji and Lao Xiao could wake up with a smile in their dreams, how could they be willing to attack their quality and design ideas? That proper heroic national enterprise is not.

Now, the fame of Song Guo's manufacturing has reached its peak. More than 100 cars were imported into Beijing, and the artifacts were exclusively for the powerful. The entire comprador and elite group of the Liao State are bloody, praising all kinds of advantages all day long, but turning a blind eye to the shortcomings.

Including Lao Xiao himself, he now takes a car when he goes out.

Well, that's really good, the pinnacle of today's industrial manufacturing is produced by Xu Langshan and their factory. Cao Jiye Wushuang's car is much cheaper, but the problem is that those who play with cars are not bad for money now, so they bought Xu Langshan's.

And he sent someone to the Song Kingdom to go over the mountains and mountains. Xu Langshan repeatedly told him that there was no need, and that it was enough to send a ship to transport some large pieces to Liao and then assemble them.

But no. The elite group of Liao believes that the hand-assembled assembly of the Liao people must have hidden quality hazards. The requirement must be imported as a whole in order to have enough fame and gimmicks, otherwise it will be difficult to die for patients with psychological obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This is the real problem within Liao.

"Even if you don't want to, you have to admit that the Song people started ten years ago, the Great Demon King started with a group of hooligans, step by step, following the spirit of craftsmanship, so far they may not be military hegemons, but they have passed through the fog, survived the storm, and achieved a survival position." Xiao Hui muttered to herself.

As for when Song Guo's abilities will be transformed into real combat power, Lao Xiao can't say clearly, anyway, sooner or later. So no one knows whether we will win the fight or not, and when we will fight.

In short, there will be a war between the Liao State and the Song State, but when will this world war be opened, Lao Xiao Zhen does not know.

Doves have doves in their senses, and don't want to fight when they develop catch-up.

The hawks also have the truth of the hawks: development can never catch up with them, so they simply restart decisively and clear the zero together.

Damn, it's like it's true. Lao Xiao wanted to ask, don't you talk about backache, what can you do to restart the Song Kingdom? The kind of army that won the Qingtang War, no one knows how many Song States had? Look at the current navy, look at how many divine weapons are deployed in the current Hejian Province defense line, and if you talk nonsense, you will die.

At this point, Lao Xiao issued a decree: It is strictly forbidden to spread and discuss the "Suzhou Port" incident in any situation, and no one can confuse the public. It is not easy to incite the pill sentiment between the major powers, wait for further investigation by the imperial court, and wait for the incident to come to light.

Lying in the groove, the Liao State was angry and the Qingdang passed out, feeling the pill. I'm afraid that this is possessed by Sima Guang of the Song Kingdom? If I remember correctly, after the Dengzhou Port Incident in the Song Kingdom and Fujiwara Mitsuko was captured, the Great Song Rite Department operated it like Lao Xiao.

It can only be said that the first three urination in the world are about the same, and there are no surprises in the festival of politicians. Suzhou Port was so obviously invaded by the hooligans of the Song Kingdom, but it was his own prime minister who was maintaining stability and washing the ground for the Song Kingdom. You're awesome.

But thinking that the so-called iron-blooded Great Demon King of Song Guo is also urine, facing the pill operation of hitting Song Guo on the head and, and the Great Demon King is also similar to Lao Xiao's pill operation, so far the Liao State Pill Party is happy again.

"Well, this is a worse era, although Lao Tzu's own bureaucrats in the Liao State are stupid and can't look at them directly, fortunately, the competitors are almost as stupid. So I'll be relieved. ”

"The world is ruled by a bunch of fools!"
