Chapter 12: It's up to you

……

"Lufeng", captain's room.

When Lin Xiao and Li Tao came, it happened that the four experts were also visiting the door, and there were not enough stools at all.

So Lin Xiao had to sit on the bed.

Although the captain's lounge of the tanker is much more spacious than that of the warship, it is still a bit crowded with so many people at once.

"What's the matter, tell me." Li Tao picked up the tea that Lao Chen had made for him.

"Lao Chen, Lao Li, Zhou Gong, Cao Gong, Lu Gong, Sun Gong," Lin Xiao said after nodding and greeting one by one. "If we return to China to become a rebel, what is the most lacking?"

"What is it?" Chen Yiming pondered.

"Think about it," Li Tao frowned, "We don't lack guns, money, oil or machines now, could it be that you are too few suspects?" ”

"There are fewer people, but the soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, and there are soldiers in the country, which is not the most lacking."

"By the way, what is most lacking is food?" Li Tao immediately thought of the key point.

Singapore is too small, with almost no arable land and not much food reserves.

"Yes, what is lacking is food, I think so," Lin Xiao prepared and said,

"King Chuang's uprising can be successful because of the drought in Guanzhong and there are too many displaced people. At present, there is a shortage of grain in the whole north, and the main grain-producing areas in the south are in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the two lakes, and now they are either occupied areas or war-torn areas, and there must be many refugees among the people. If we have food in our hands, can we quickly gather the hearts of the people and lay down a base area? ”

"Where are you going to land?" Chen Yiming answered.

"Lao Chen, do you have a map?"

"Yes," Chen Yiming said, then got up and went to the small bookcase to take out a set of maps.

The ocean liners are equipped with world maps, two sets on the "Lufeng" ship, one set in the cockpit, and one set in the captain's room for standby.

"In view of the domestic situation, I have considered two landing sites, which one is more suitable for you?" Lin Xiao opened the map and continued, "One is the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other is the area of Liangguang. ”

Li Tao looked at Lin Xiao fixedly, waiting for him to continue.

"The former site has the advantage of being a grain-producing area, and it has a large population, which makes it easy to expand the army; The advantage of the latter location is that it is close to the Southern Ming Dynasty, the division is famous, and it is easy to gain the support of the people. ”

"And what about the downside?" Li Tao asked.

"The disadvantage of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is that it is in the rear of the Qing army, and if we cannot expand our army quickly, we will be easily besieged. Moreover," Lin Xiao said in a deep voice, "in case the grain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is also looted by the Qing army, we will not be able to expand the army without food and without a name." ”

"The disadvantage of Liangguang is that there is already little food there, and the control area of Nanming is too small, so poor that we are still keen on infighting, and we will be constrained by many parties if we don't get it, and it is not easy to show our hands and feet."

"So as long as you have food in your hand, you can do both. If there is no food, there is a problem in both places? Sun Lei interjected.

"Yes, so we'd better get food first, and a lot of it."

"I think of a place where there is food." Chen Yiming, who had been silent for a long time, interjected.

Seeing that everyone looked at him and didn't speak, Chen Yiming moved his finger to a place on the map and said, "Here, Vietnam." ”

"That's right, Lao Chen, we want to go together," Lin Xiao said happily, "Now there is a war in the country, and there is a shortage of food everywhere." The only countries that are close to each other are the Mekong Plain in Thailand and the Red River Plain in Vietnam. ”

"The point is that Vietnam is much closer to Thailand, both by land and sea." Li Tao's eyes lit up and said.

Lin Xiao and Lao Chen looked at each other and smiled.

"If you have the same opinion, then make up your mind. The sooner you leave, the better, and maybe you can continue to recruit troops when you arrive in Vietnam, and there are a large number of Chinese in northern Vietnam. Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said: "This little overlord of Southeast Asia, this time I will destroy him in advance, for my Huaxia will never suffer in the future!" ”

Lao Chen and Lao Li didn't have any expressions, Zhou Gong and Cao Gong saw this special forces Wang with murderous eyes, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, especially Sun Lei and Lu Hua, who were almost born in the 90s, I don't understand why Lin Xiao, my peers, hate Vietnam so much, isn't it the most hateful little Japan?

"By the way, there is another matter," Lin Xiao resumed his deep groan, "If we go back this time, the weapons we use will definitely shock the world, I want to play the banner of the old port to comfort the righteous army, if we still use the name of the open sea of the heavens, the common people don't know where the heavens are, will they treat us as monsters?" ”

Lu Hua sneered.

Lao Chen and Lao Li looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Okay, this kind of thing is up to you." ”

"Zhou Gong, Cao Gong, do you have any ideas?" Although the experts didn't interject much, Lin Xiao felt that he should still ask their opinions.

"We are laymen in the military, but I still have a suggestion I want to say," Zhou Xiaojie looked at the other three experts and muttered:

"Didn't you say that after we went ashore, they would let us build a factory? Therefore, from our point of view, it is more advantageous to choose the landing site in the Liangguang area, because there are relatively rich minerals and the problem of raw materials is easier to solve. Otherwise, the raw materials will not be available, and those machines will be blinded. ”

After Zhou Xiaojie finished speaking, he looked at Cao Jiawen and them, and Cao Jiawen and Sun Lei immediately nodded and agreed: "Zhou Gong is right. "The construction of the factory was discussed at the meeting a few days ago.

"Okay, that's called teamwork!" Chen Yiming sighed, "Team Lin, Li Chu, what do you think? ”

"Okay, then land in Guangxi and get closer to Yungui." Lin Xiao touched his nose and said with a smile.

"Team Lin, I also have a suggestion," Lu Hua, who had been unable to interject, lost no time in saying: "I mentioned the map just now, and I remembered one thing. There was something wrong with First Officer Lu's personal notebook that day, and I asked him to help him take a look, and when we were chatting, Deputy Lu said that he had downloaded an offline version of Google Earth in his notebook. ”

"Also, Cao Gong's notebook has a set of drawings of world-famous guns, and even drawings of early flintlock pistols and Mauser guns."

"I think this is very important information, and there are a few of us, and there are some technical information in the computer, which was originally confidential, but now I can't talk about it. I don't think it's possible to make a backup of these data, maybe it will be of great use in the future. ”

Without waiting for others to make a statement, Lu Hua added.

"That's right," Li Tao patted his head: "This is a good idea, I have found the military notebook of the US military in the container, that thing is much more solid than civilian products, I will bring you two tomorrow." ”

"It's a good idea," Lin Xiao glanced at Lu Hua and said with a smile: "Then I'll send a notice tomorrow, everyone, all important information will be handed over for backup?" ”

"Okay, whoever turns in the information will be rewarded with a military computer for each." Lao Chen echoed.

But Sun Lei pouted, he didn't appreciate it, what is the use of rewarding computers, and there is no Internet.

……

The major event was agreed, Lin Xiao and the others said goodbye to Chen Yiming, and the four experts went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Xiao cared about the barracks, but decided to go back to the shore for the night, and he wanted to come again for an emergency inspection tonight. Li Tao also followed ashore.
