Deng Shicai immediately explained. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is believed that if it can get the support of Mexico, first, the Ming army can supply materials from Mexico nearby, and there is no need to travel long distances across the entire Pacific Ocean for transportation, not to mention the transportation pressure is greatly reduced, and it is more secure. Second, with the support of Mexico, the Ming Navy can use Mexico's ports as bases to change the current dilemma of attacking only from the Pacific Ocean, and if the Navy has a base in the Gulf of Mexico, it can blockade the east coast of the United States, so that the pressure on the United States will make it easier for them to accept peace talks. Third, once Mexico supports the Ming Dynasty, even if they don't go to war, even if they don't allow the Ming to use their ports, just from the intelligence side, Mexico can provide the Ming with instant information nearby, and from this point of view, it is even more advantageous than them directly participating in the war.

It can be said that once Mexico stands on the side of the Ming Dynasty, it will completely make up for all the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty and return this war to a state of reciprocity.

Deng Shicai's view of the problem is different from that of others, and it should be said that he is more comprehensive and careful.

Zhu Jinglun couldn't help but be convinced, and even doubted for a while whether his interference was a mistake, maybe this kind of professional problem should be handed over to this kind of professional person to deal with.

He suddenly felt that Deng Shicai was a very interesting person, and it was generally believed that there was a problem with this person's position, and he did not stand on the position of the army at the beginning, and helped the civilian officials of the military department to fight against the young Zhuang faction in the army, and he has always been a traitor within the army, and was even called the shame of the army.

However, Zhu Jinglun absolutely did not believe that such a person would betray anything, although his behavior was not in harmony with the interests of the army, but there was absolutely no possibility of betrayal, and his status reached such a height, and he often did things out of ideas, and it can only be said that his ideas are inconsistent with the main officers of the army, and it cannot be said that he betrayed the entire army.

Maybe it's time to put him to shame.

Zhu Jinglun thought.

"If our command center were to be at the forefront, would it be more convenient for you to command?"

Zhu Jinglun asked.

Deng Shicai shook his head: "Your Majesty, by all means, this victory or defeat is small, and the safety and security of Your Majesty is more important." ”

Zhu Jinglun smiled: "You misunderstood, I don't have a habit of driving in person." I mean, wouldn't it be more beneficial to the war if the command center was put on the front line? ”

Deng Shicai nodded: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and if all actions have to be transmitted back to China to make decisions, it will indeed affect the fighters." ”

Zhu Jinglun asked: "Then if you are asked to go to the United States to command the operation, can you guarantee that it will be better than the command of the military headquarters in the rear?" ”

Deng Shicai was stunned, his eyes seemed to bulge suddenly, and his breathing was a little short.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is only a shallow learner—"

Zhu Jinglun interrupted Deng Shicai's fake modesty: "You just say that you can do better, right?" ”

Seeing Deng Shicai's chest rising and falling obviously, it was obvious that he was hesitant, excited, and maybe even a little nervous.

Saying that you can't do it is false modesty, saying that you can do it is equivalent to slapping the face of the military department, and it will make him miss a huge opportunity, but if you say that you can, it seems too unkind and impetuous. This is why the Chinese will be like this, and if they are foreigners, even if they are Japanese, they will take the initiative to ask for war.

Under Zhu Jinglun's forced gaze, Deng Shicai spoke slowly: "Theoretically, the command center will be close to the former enemy——"

Zhu Jinglun interrupted him again: "I don't want to listen to theory, I just want to ask you if you can do it?" ”

"Is it going to work?"

Zhu Jinglun continued to ask.

"Okay!"

"Louder!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Jinglun looked at Deng Shicai: "Are you sure you can do it?" ”

Deng Shicai said: "I can do it!" ”

Zhu Jinglun smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Well, you pack up and leave for the United States immediately, with full responsibility for directing the front-line battles. It doesn't matter how you beat me, you don't have to care about the situation in the rear. ”

Although he had already guessed this result, Deng Shicai was still stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and seemed to have made a lot of determination, and then slowly knelt down and bowed respectfully to the ground.

Zhu Jinglun hurriedly helped him up: "What are you kneeling on, this general can't be a soft bone, get up quickly!" ”

But Deng Shicai didn't get up: "Your Majesty." Wechen is courageous, Wechen dares to make a military order, if Wechen goes, he will definitely be able to agree to this battle. But there are three conditions for Wechen, if Your Majesty can allow Wechen, then Wechen will set off immediately, if Your Majesty can't allow it, then Wechen will go in vain, it is better not to go. ”

Zhu Jinglun sighed: "This tells me about the conditions." How did the Danish military school teach you that you haven't learned to obey yet? ”

Deng Shicai insisted: "Your Majesty atons for your sins." It's just that it's about the overall situation, and Weichen doesn't dare not make it clear in advance. ”

Zhu Jinglun said: "Say it." ”

Deng Shicai said: "First, Weichen is on the front line, and the advance is urgent, and the response is decided by Weichen. Second, both the navy and the army should be subject to the orders of the ministers and should not be interfered with in any other way. Third, front-line military funds and finances have the right to be transferred. ”

Financial power, military power, this is all about it, this is a taboo thing, he can bring it up in person, either he is a hero, or he is frank, the problem is here with Zhu Jinglun.

Zhu Jinglun was silent for a moment: "Do you know that if you want these things, you will have no way out?" ”

Deng Shicai said: "Weichen has no way to retreat, if you want to leave a way for yourself to retreat, you can't win this battle." ”

Zhu Jinglun was stunned for a moment, he thought of the potential of the United States, and it was very terrible to really stimulate the potential of the United States. World War II was an example of Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, but the United States built up a military force that far surpassed Pearl Harbor. Now it seems that if the Americans are determined to fight this war, it will not be difficult for the United States to build a multi-million army with the world's second largest industrial strength. Deng Shicai is right, if you want to leave a back road, this battle is really not easy to fight, not only can you not leave a back road, but the whole country cannot have a back road.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinglun suddenly found that it may be really frivolous to rashly launch this war that gathers the future national fortunes of the United States.

"Okay, I've got you!"

Deng Shicai slammed his head on the ground, got up and saluted a military salute, and then went out.

"Your Majesty, no."

"Your Majesty, the military has financial power, which is very disadvantageous to the country."

"Your Majesty—"

As soon as Deng Shicai left, a group of admonishers.

Zhu Jinglun waved his hand: "Needless to say, I have made up my mind, you haven't seen the situation clearly, but he has seen it clearly." ”

In fact, Zhu Jinglun still thought about Deng Shicai too complicated.

After Deng Shicai left the military department, he immediately took a train back home, and he went to the grave of his grandfather, who had been dead for 20 years, but when his grandfather died, his family did not even inform him, because everyone thought that his grandfather was angry with him.

When his grandfather obstructed the construction of the railway, he personally came back to persuade him, and deceived his grandfather to the field, when he came back, the railway bridge had passed his vegetable field, and his grandfather was directly angry with dementia, and died within a few years.

As a result, Deng Shicai was regarded as a rebel by the clan, and although he was not expelled from the clan, no one was contacting him except his blood relatives.

Under the patriarchal system, there is sometimes an overlap between this kind of clan power and personal power, for example, if Deng Shicai had not been angry with his grandfather, he would probably inherit the position of patriarch in a few years. But if this happens, he will be ostracized by the family.

Under the patriarchal system, clan power is always greater than personal power, even if you are in a high position, you have to listen to the patriarch within the family. This is just like the clerical power in the West, in the theocratic era, even if a certain king is powerful, once he offends the pope and the pope announces the expulsion of the king, the king can only stand barefoot in the snow and plead guilty to the pope.

In China, even if you become the prime minister of a country, in the family, you must obey the patriarch, at least obey the clan rules. During the Republic of China, Tan Yanmin was serving as the overseer of Hunan at that time, and he was a powerful figure in Hunan, but his mother died of illness, and the clansmen refused to allow the funeral from the front, because Tan Yanmin's mother was a concubine, not a main house. Tan Yanmin lay on the current coffin by himself, saying that he was dead, and let him be carried out of the funeral, so that his mother's coffin could go through the front door. A giant like Tan Yanmin, in the troubled times of the Republic of China, was still forced by the clan rules to have no choice. What's more, it's Deng Shicai, in terms of official position, he is an unpopular military attaché, and there is no way to compare with Tan Yanmin, and he is angry with his grandfather, how can he be accepted.

But the problem is that it was impossible for Deng Shicai not to know this, but he stood on the position of the government and deceived his grandfather, he probably knew the consequences back then, but he still chose to do that, and after doing that, he had no way back, because he couldn't go back to the clan.

Later, he helped the government to squeeze out the power of the Shaozhuang faction, and he must have known that he would have no way back in the army in the future, but he still did it. People like him always force themselves again and again to have no way out, if they don't have faith in their hearts, they really can't say it.

Now he has once again forced himself to have no way out, he wants all the power that a person can have, and once he fails, he can only die, not die to the enemy, he will die in the law, and it is likely that he will commit suicide in advance.

As for Deng Shicai's thorough view of the military potential of the United States, it is not yet, although this era has begun to measure the strength of a country by its industrial strength, but that is limited to European countries, and outside Europe is another standard, Europeans are accustomed to their own high position, and always think that other countries, even if they have strong industrial strength, are always inferior to whites.

This concept has caused European countries to misestimate two countries, one is the European country Italy, and the other is the Asian country Japan, which is overestimated by Italy and underestimated by Japan.

Deng Shicai did not see the potential of the United States, he did not know that he was encountering a situation where there was no way out, but he first forced himself to the point where there was no way out.

"Grandpa, you said that a good man should respect Huaxia and Yidi, and immediately crown Hou Guangzong and his ancestors. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Zun Huaxia, I'm going to do it. I'm about to do it right away, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

He had just visited the patriarch, but was denied.

Deng Shicai was in pain, and he spilled his wine.

Then he gave a military salute and resolutely turned to leave, he was going directly to Kowloon and taking a boat to the United States.
