Chapter 42: The Concept of War
In the conference hall of the Hainan Palace, the dignitaries of all parties were listening carefully to the analysis of the future situation and the blueprint for the future of Hainan by the newly succeeded prince, Chen Zhong, the commander of the Hainan Young Zhuang faction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, some people say that Hainan, a small land, is talking about the Northern Expedition to the Qing court and seeking the world! I said, if Hainan, a small land, has no ambition to win the world, then the end of Hainan will eventually be like fish on the knife board, to be slaughtered!
Our Hainan has survived in the cracks for so many years, and you have all paid the most gorgeous years for the glory of Hainan today! Some people think, it's time for us to rest, and leave the mission of the rise and fall of the nation to the heroes!
However, we must be aware that when we slack off, others don't! The Japanese, as well as the Western powers, what they want is to seek the whole of China, and we want to stick to a pure land of paradise, but these people are unwilling!
Do we still delude ourselves and fantasize that as long as we do not participate in war, there will be a peaceful world?
Since we live in this world, we must abide by the rules of the game in this world. Whether you believe it or not, the law of the game in this world is that the law of the jungle is survival of the fittest!
No one will like war, no one will like killing, and no one will like bloodshed! However, the world truly tells us that only by war can war be eliminated, only by killing can killing be eliminated, and only by bloodshed can bloodshed be stopped!
Even if we are lucky enough to hide in a comfortable wormhole now, we can't live without the longing of the lion roaring in the mountains!
There is no permanent concept in this world, only temporary honor and disgrace. Only by struggling to move forward on the cusp of the crisis every day, can we appreciate the tranquility of the rising sun in the turbulent world!
Our Chinese nation is the greatest nation in the world, and we have created an immortal civilization for mankind.
We used to fantasize about beauty and peace, but the facts tell us that we have exchanged kindness and sincerity for disaster and humiliation!
Therefore, since friendship cannot be exchanged for peace, then we use war to promote fraternity! If these robbers want to test the bottom line of our Chinese nation, then we will use iron and blood to tell these thieves that our bloodiness must be proved by the bloodshed of the enemy! ”
Chen Zhong's speech obviously aroused the resonance of all the attendees and indisputably indisputably stirred up the passionate emotions of Hainan in preparing for a foreign war.
Chen Chuwang watched his son analyze the facts of Hainan's external crisis, and easily resolved it, and some of Hainan's veteran-level generals and officials were very satisfied with the objections of the little prince to succeed the king and take over the military talismans.
Until this moment, the king of Hainan should not have any worries. Chen Chuwang admires his son even more, although he is young, he not only has superhuman military talent and extraordinary courage, but also has the wisdom of a politician. It is so skillful in the resolution of crises and the transformation of contradictions, tilting and balancing.
Zhang Tong was also pleased to look at this high-spirited Dongbed fast son-in-law, he now absolutely has the confidence to believe that this young Zhuang king of Hainan will definitely bring a broader space to the future of Hainan.
Zhou Zhiguang, who was sitting on the side, originally had some expectations, but now, he was completely desperate for his original idea, he knew that if he went against the grain again, he would eventually embark on a road of no return.
Moreover, the little prince, in dealing with the matter of the Far East Post Station, has clearly told him that all his actions have already been exposed, and he just ignores him for the sake of the great achievements he once made for Hainan with the prince.
At this moment, Zhou Zhiguang knows very well that his wisest approach is to support the little prince and work together to fulfill his responsibilities for the future of Hainan, which is a broad road.
Li Chuang and Xiao Yang were also shocked by Chen Zhong's speech, and it seemed that they had found the pride of following the old prince in the southern and northern wars back then!
How much they once longed to look north, leap into the Central Plains, fight with foreigners, and shame that Snow China was ravaged! Give me back the glory of China!
Today, although the body is no longer as vigorous as it was back then, the blood of that kind of battle is still boiling!
Since the new prince of the Young Zhuang faction has such ambitions, why not support him?
Obviously, Chen Zhong's speech played a role in transforming internal disharmony into external contradictions between the enemy and ourselves, unifying the thinking of Hainan's military and political circles to the greatest extent, and paving the way for the realization of the great imperial dream after his succession.
Chen Zhong continued: "Based on the current situation in Hainan, we in Hainan should actively prepare for war, take the initiative to attack, grasp the initiative in the entire Hainan war situation, and resolve the immediate crisis through diplomatic and war means. After that, we will enter Guangxi and Guangdong, and seek greater development space for ourselves!
In this crisis, a war between Hainan and the Japanese army in the South China Sea is absolutely unavoidable.
On the issue of the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in Guangxi, we can use diplomatic means to force Russia, France, and Germany to put pressure on the Qing court to withdraw their troops.
During this period, negotiations were made with the French to tentatively negotiate a peaceful coexistence agreement, and the French would use France to force the British fleet in the South China Sea to remain neutral.
Therefore, the war in Hainan this time will be a war of political diplomacy and strategic wisdom, and I want to completely annihilate the Japanese West Sea Fleet in this battle to defend Hainan, and I will be ashamed of the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle! Come to comfort the heroes of the Beiyang Naval Division! ”
"Good! The prince said well! ”
"Commander-in-chief, we will definitely follow you to attack little Japan!"
There was a voice of support from the audience, Chen Zhong's analysis of the battle situation, as well as the design and conception of the entire battle situation, mobilized the war ** of the military generals present.
Moreover, when they heard that the little prince was going to fight against the Japanese West Sea Fleet this time and avenge the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, they were full of emotion! In the conference hall of the Hainan Palace, the focus was immediately focused on imagining a naval battle against Japan.
When the generals were discussing the naval battle against Japan in the South China Sea, Li Chuang suddenly raised a question, and the venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on Chen Zhong.
Li Chuang asked: "Commander-in-chief, I want to ask a question, what do we use to fight the Japanese West Sea Fleet?" Do we want our army to fight against the huge fleet of the Japanese army in small boats? ”
Chen Zhong smiled and said: "I think you are not alone in this question, what are we going to fight against the well-equipped Japanese fleet?"
Everyone doesn't know that my father was far-sighted, and secretly formed a Hainan fleet in the South China Sea more than 20 years ago, all the standards are basically equivalent to the combination of the later Beiyang Naval Division, in recent years, the commander of the fleet, General Chen Fangzheng, has improved the fleet's ship speed and artillery, and now it has considerable combat effectiveness! ”
