Chapter 162: The Avengers
"Musketeers can have them, and I think it's not just about providing muskets and ammunition, but also training instruction. www.biquge.info I heard that this place has just started to use muskets and artillery, and the tactics are still very rough, otherwise I wouldn't have been defeated so easily by my father-in-law. Muskets and artillery are new arms, and in order to exert their full power, weapons are one thing, and tactical training is more important. Only the Golden River Empire and my father-in-law can provide adequate guidance on this issue. My suggestion is that in my father-in-law's kingdom, it is most appropriate for Jiang Renjie to be in charge of the production of muskets and cannons for the two of them, and the weapons he makes must be reassured by both Baron Jiang and His Majesty the Emperor. Then my father-in-law sent officers to the two countries to help form musketeers and artillerymen, training and fighting at the same time. I believe that in a few years, the two of them will have a hundred battle lions in their hands! When Hong Tao set his eyes on the last person, that is, Luo Mei, this seemingly harmless young man explained his position in a gentle, low tone, a little shyly.
Pit people! The pit man of the trap! is worthy of being the son of the biggest profiteer in the Great Song Dynasty, and he has strong genetics! It is also worthy of being a high-achieving student who graduated from a navigation school, and he doesn't care about the identity of the other party at all, he can dig as big a pit as he can, and he will die in a pit!
This is what Hong Tao said about Luo Mei after he finished smiling. At the same time, Hong Tao was also deeply worried about the arrival of the Hong salamander, Cixi was not right at all, this child is no longer a child, more mature than adults, and thoughtful. And he also has a very good appearance to disguise, unlike himself, who will be vigilant when they meet for the first time.
Most of what he said was nonsense, and there were only two main points. One is to take Jiang Renjie as a hostage to control Jiang Zhuyi; One was to mix the officer corps with sand to partially control Jiang Zhuyi and Friedrich II's musketeers.
In this way, the two of them are equivalent to using their own money to establish two armed forces for Hong Tao in Europe, although they are not completely under Hong Tao's command, but they are not completely under the command of the two of them. If the two sides work together happily, then nothing happens. If there is friction between the two sides, the combat effectiveness of these two new armies will be immediately reduced. Because their weaknesses, performance, and deployment situation are all under Hong Tao's control, maybe they can also affect the tendencies of some soldiers and officers, and they are completely a copy of the New Army of the Great Song Dynasty.
Don't look at the Great Song New Army is a lion in a hundred battles, and its combat experience is much richer than that of the Jinhe Imperial Army. If the Great Song Dynasty really wanted to use this army as the absolute main force to fight against the Jinhe Empire, it would really be unlucky. At that time, as soon as the command and staff of the Golden River Empire were withdrawn, the combat effectiveness of the new army would immediately be reduced by two percent. Although many of their low-ranking officers have learned a lot through the actual combat in the past few years, they have not studied it systematically, and they have completely memorized it piecemeal in the way of apprentices stealing teachers.
After that, the Imperial Supervision Department intervened again, and the Great Song Dynasty officers in the new army who had already rebelled and were likely to be rebelled against became a hidden danger for the new army. When fighting the Mongol Empire, they would not betray their country, but when fighting against the Jinhe Empire, it would be difficult for them to speak. Because through so many years of influence, they have long recognized in their hearts that the Jinhe Empire is the same clan and the same clan, no matter who is the emperor, at least it is not a foreign invasion.
If the original supply of parts and ammunition is cut off, relying only on the handicraft workshop-style ammunition workshop of the Great Song Dynasty, after several major battles, the guns in the hands of the new army will all be burning sticks. With the death and capture of veterans and junior officers of the New Army, it was difficult for the New Army of the Great Song Dynasty to replenish suitable sources of troops in a timely manner. They did not have a well-established reserve system to provide well-trained soldiers, nor did they have a professional military school to train officers, and they would be weaker in a battle, and it would not be long before the new army was exhausted.
The Jinhe Empire has no worries about this, its personnel of appropriate age can go to the battlefield immediately, and even most of them can serve as low-level officers immediately, coupled with the continuous population of the colony, the ability of the riot army is even stronger than that of the Great Song Dynasty. This is called war potential, and it is not just a competition of resources and population, but also a measure of how much these resources and populations can be used in the end.
In the era of hot weapons, the quality of officers and veterans often determines the combat effectiveness of an army, and the ability of logistics and supply determines the final direction of a war. Isn't Rommel the Desert Fox awesome? When the logistical supply was cut off by the British, it was still defeated by the Anglo-American coalition. This is the characteristic of warfare in the era of hot weapons, the battlefield is no longer limited to the place where two armies clash, and the main battlefield is actually at home and on the road.
Europe is basically at the same level at this time and five years ago in the Great Song Dynasty, and it has just begun to enter the era of hot weapons, not to mention the system, and there is not even a basic concept. It is equally effective to deal with them in the same way as the Great Song Dynasty. This is the method that Hong Tao and Wen Nan discussed back then, the technical advantage can be diffused, but there must be artificial guidance, deviation guidance, and let the other party take more detours. This is tantamount to prolonging the time of their technical superiority, which is similar to the effect of complete closure, but it looks much better to the outside world, and the benefits are much greater.
Luo Meimei seems to have studied these things a lot, completely figured out Hong Tao's set of things, and can also judge the situation and learn and use it. This is very difficult, he is not like Wen Nan, Bo Jiao, Kong Pei, Yi Yi and others, he can have the opportunity to have access to this kind of discussion, he can only explore it by himself, Hong Tao has not discussed these issues with him in detail, it all depends on talent and brains.
"My dear, you have found a very good husband for Hong Salamander...... Jiang Zhuyi is not a fool, she is more well-informed than most people, and the set of theories makes her think that she may not be as good as Luo Meimei, but what the other party says is beneficial to herself, she can judge it in an instant. At this time, her eyes when she looked at Luo Meimei completely changed, or the smile on her face became thicker, and she praised Hong Tao vigorously.
"Well, if something happens to him in Europe in the future, I'll be the first to trouble you. America, remember this Aunt Jiang, so far, she has only been good to your father-in-law and me, and everyone else is a tool that can be used, eliminated, and befriended in her eyes. The more she smiles at you, the more you have to watch out for her. Now that you've taken her brother to the Americas as a hostage, I guess she'll be a cold shot in the back when she finds you alone. Right, dear? ”
Hong Tao didn't take Jiang Zhuyi's praise of Luo Meimei as a compliment, she was very familiar with herself, and she was also very familiar with her. I like to be with her, and it is precisely because the two of them know each other too well that no one can fool anyone, so they simply don't work hard with each other, but get along more easily. But if you can control her, it doesn't mean that others can do it too, especially Luo Meimei just came to trap her brother, this hatred is not ordinary. With her own understanding of Jiang Zhuyi, she will definitely not give up.
"Phew! Teach your children well, am I so vicious! Hong Tao said it so bluntly that Jiang Zhuyi, who has always been the second thickest in the world, was embarrassed.
"If you weren't so vicious, I would have ignored you a long time ago. Remember, you can count me, but you can't count the salamanders and Saifei. I won't take Jiang Renjie away, I'll leave him to you, and let him help you and William build a cannon musket factory in your territory, but the training and command will still be done by my people. This kid was a political idiot, but he was a good craftsman, and I admired even the fact that he was able to single-handedly build such a large fleet and shipyards, foundries, and gunpowder factories for the Flemish Hansea. But I have to warn you, take care of your brother, he hates you more than me, and I don't want to hear about your death before I die. ”
After Wen Nan and Luo Meimei's reminder, Hong Tao figured it out. He thought carefully about the current distribution of several major forces in the world, and then made a decision that surprised everyone present, leaving Jiang Renjie to Jiang Zhuyi, and allowing him to build a factory in Europe. Not only did Friedrich II and Jiang Zhuyi expect it, but even Luo Meimei showed a look of surprise, his face was always calm and smiling.
"Don't worry, he is my younger brother, he left home to go to school at such a young age, and it is inevitable that there will be resentment in his heart, and I have a way to deal with this kind of child. By the way, I still want to ask you for a few people, do you remember the four Weng children who were thrown here back then? They are all my godsons and goddaughters, and they are not young, can I take them with me to help me? Jiang Zhuyi's warning to Hong Tao was completely inappropriate, it was not that she was careless, but that Hong Tao said it too clearly, and there was no room for maneuver.
"You can do whatever you want, it's good now, your sister and brother plus the four children of the Weng family, the family has all been harmed by me. How about I give your organization a name, the Avengers? If Jiang Zhuyi didn't say it, Hong Tao would have forgotten about Weng Xiaoyi's four children. Count the fact that several of them have been in Europe for almost ten years, and they have been taken care of by Jiang Zhuyi, I am afraid that I will not be happy if I want them to leave.
After a few days of deliberation, Hong Tao was forced to reach an agreement with Friedrich II and Jiang Zhuyi to divide the spoils, and at the same time, a great conspiracy against the whole of Europe gradually took shape in a wooden house on a small island thousands of kilometers away from Europe. When all the details were finalized, Jiang Zhuyi, Wen Nan, Karl, and Friedrich II immediately left the Leeward Islands together, and they were going back to prepare for a scuffle, and the target was the Republic of Venice. However, this time they unanimously rejected Hong Tao's kindness, and did not kill the Americas, but found a brig to borrow a dozen sailors, and drove away on their own.
