By the time everything settled down, it was already early winter. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com] .v d . m
With the passage of time, the social economy of the Republic of China has begun to get on the right track, with Tang Shaoyi, Yang Du and Liang Dunyan and others in charge of the country's political affairs, and the military reform has come to an end.
It's just that the international situation is getting tighter and tighter, and such days are not common.
On this day, Zhang Yi was sitting in the presidential palace when Staff Officer He Runqing walked in and said in a low voice: "President, German Minister Andrew has come over and asked to see you." ”
Zhang Yi's heart moved, for a period of time, Andrew hadn't come to fight his autumn breeze for a while, I don't know what happened this time, thinking of this, Zhang Yi replied: "Well, please come to the living room Mr. Andrew." ”
Zhang Yi came to the living room, Andrew hurriedly stood up, now Zhang Yi's majesty is getting heavier and heavier, even if Andrew, who is familiar with Zhang Yi, sometimes, it is inevitable that he is a little restrained.
However, Andrew relied on his old qualifications and hard relationship, and he was still very casual with Zhang Yi, stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Yi, and said with a smile: "My Mr. President, but I haven't seen each other for a while, do you want to come?" ”
Zhang Yi smiled: "Okay, Andrew, don't say kind words, see me this time, is there something wrong?" ”
Andrew nodded and said, "What else can I do?" In recent years, your country has won many battles in the war, in addition to aircraft, your country's tanks are also the only weapon in the battlefield, our Majesty William, I have taken a fancy to your country's tanks, several times asked me to inquire about the situation of your country's tanks, I did some understanding to Huaijin, and made a report to His Majesty. No, after the study of His Majesty Wilhelm and the Ministry of War, it is believed that tanks are indispensable as the main equipment of the future army, and our German Reich has sent a letter this time, asking me to negotiate with your country on the matter of tanks, and promote the export of your tanks to our country. ”
Zhang Yiyi frowned. He replied, "Andrew, the tank is the true king of land warfare. His power hasn't been fully revealed yet, and William, being able to see that, shows that he's growing, but we don't plan to sell tanks yet......"
Andrew smiled: "Okay, Jianzhi, you even sell the plane, and there is no need for this tank." Let's make it so mysterious, make a price, as long as the German Empire can afford it, we will definitely accept your offer. ”
Zhang Yi looked at Andrew with a smile and said, "Do you really want to buy it?" ”
Andrew nodded and said, "I really want to buy it!" ”
Zhang Yi pressed his tone and said, "Andrew, as far as I'm concerned. In fact, I hope that your country can speed up the development of your country's naval warfare weapons, your country's fleet is too far from the British Empire, far from being someone's opponent, once a major war breaks out, people will block your transportation lines at once. What else do you guys have to play? Even if there are more tanks, artillery, no supplies, no resources, then what a fart war? Don't tell me that your country has enough oil, coal, and food in the country! ”
Andrew was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhang Yi to start talking about the navy as soon as he came up. It seems that the great president has paid much attention to European affairs.
Immediately, Andrew smiled and said: "My President, what you said is true, but you don't know that Britain is a traditional naval hegemon, and their naval warship technology has always been in the leading position in the world, and the huge gap is not something that our empire wants to surpass, and it can be surpassed, and the gap between them has not been one or two decades, and it cannot be bridged at all, so His Majesty William just thought of using the advantages of the army and air force to make up for the advantages of the navy......"
Zhang Yi said unhappily: "Confused! Andrew, you are also an instructor at the Army University in Berlin, the military elite of the German Empire, don't you know that you cannot completely defeat the British Empire without a strong enough navy? Just one thing, even if you win a military victory, how do you block the English Channel, how do you get to the island of England without a navy? Do not occupy LinkedIn Glen, even if you achieve a military victory in Europe, how can you dominate, the thorn of the British Empire will always be firmly stuck in your throat, this is the most critical, without tanks, France is still not your opponent, Tsarist Russia is even worse, even if you are one enemy and two, you still have a certain chance of victory, but without warships, you can't defeat England! ”
Andrew's face was bitter, and he said: "Jianzhi, what you said is very reasonable, I admit it, but this gap is really not something that can be made up in a short time, Britain is an island country, and the shipbuilding industry has always been leading the world, in contrast, our German Empire is located in Central Europe, only a few hundred kilometers of coastline, we do not have a sufficiently developed shipbuilding industry, how can we catch up with the British Navy?" ”
Zhang Yi smiled faintly and replied: "It's very simple, the British Navy has their advantages, but it's not that we don't have the power to fight back, it's just that your strategic thinking needs to change to a certain extent!" ”
Andrew's heart was shocked, the Chinese tiger in front of him can be called the first general of the contemporary era, the entire group of famous generals of the Chinese Revolutionary Army is completely created by him, whether it is strategic vision, or specific military command, almost no one in the world can stand out, this is now recognized by the entire world military circles, if he can really provide a key strategic advice to the empire, then the empire is making a lot of money.
Andrew hurriedly asked: "Jianzhi, we have nothing to talk about, and the friendship between His Majesty William and you is even deeper, you can't stand by and watch." ”
Zhang Yi said angrily: "Nonsense, if I want to stand by and watch, why do I talk so much nonsense to you?" Wouldn't it be okay to leave you aside? ”
Andrew smiled and said, "Jianzhi, please advise." ”
Zhang Yi said slowly: "In a word, that is, asymmetric tactics? ”
"Asymmetrical tactics?"
Andrew looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously, a little bit not quite understanding what Zhang Yi meant.
Zhang Yi continued: "In short, it is to find out your own advantages against the powerful British Navy, and use them to offset the absolute superiority of the British Navy, even if you can't turn defeat into victory, then you must use your own advantages to move back to disadvantages, this is what I want to say!"
