Lin Fei began to think about the next strategic direction, now looking at it, the countries with the greatest threat should be South Korea and Japan, the Western Desert Province has a large number of deserts, which is not conducive to Russian encroachment, and the Western Plateau Province and Yunnan are either plateaus or tropical rainforests, which are also not conducive to military operations, but the Northeast, which is only separated by a river from South Korea, is extremely threatened.

Xiyun and Ruan Fu Baojiao persuaded Lin Fei to enter Japan next, first occupy Tsushima Island, and then go north to Korea and south to Japan, occupying both places, but Lin Fei refused.

Lin Fei thought about it this way, there is not much benefit to occupying Japan and South Korea, because neither Korea nor Japan has any resources, and occupying these places will not gain anything.

It is still very difficult to occupy these places, the Japanese army is extremely fierce, the will to fight is extremely strong, if you want to occupy Japan, you must pay a great price, after the occupation, whether you can hold it is also a huge problem, the Japanese will definitely try to find ways to hit the Huaxia army, the Japanese are in the dark, the Huaxia army is in the light, and they cannot be defended, and the Huaxia army is in Japan, just like the US army in the Middle East in the era of Lin Fei.

So Lin Fei's trick to deal with Japan is to drag you and drag you down alive.

Japan does not have so many resources in China, and if it wants to develop its industry, it can only rely on the resources of the United States, and the Americans are all profiteers, if you don't give enough dollars, can they sell you resources?

Japan can only spend a lot of money to buy resources, where does the money come from, can only rely on depriving the domestic people, and when the domestic people can't stand the exploitation, they will rebel, Japan will inevitably be in chaos, at that time Lin Fei will act again, the effect will be much better.

Lin Fei's real target is the Middle East.

The reason why Lin Fei is targeting the Middle East is entirely for the oil of the Middle East, which has the most oil in the world, and the data of Lin Fei's era shows that the oil reserves in the Middle East are two-thirds of the world.

In addition to the abundant reserves, the Middle East has an even more proud capital of oil, that is, it is extremely easy to exploit.

The oil wells in the Middle East are basically self-blowing wells, what is called self-blowing wells, that is, after the oil wells are laid, people basically do not need to do anything, and the oil can be sprayed out by itself, which is simply digging a pit in the ground, and the real money will come out by itself.

Oil in the Middle East is concentrated around the Persian Gulf, including Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and many more, in this era, Iraq was part of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, which was being fought over by Britain, Germany, and Russia; Iran is the Kingdom of Iran, controlled by Russia in the north, British in the south, and Saudi Arabia is controlled by several great sheikhs, some of whom are dependent on the British, some of whom are dependent on Germany, some of whom are dependent on France, and some of whom are dependent on Russia.

In general, the Middle East has been carved up by Britain, France, Germany and Russia, and Lin Fei doesn't even have a place to insert a needle.

However, Lin Fei also has his own spokesperson, that is, Prince Ibrahim, whose territory is on the western side of the Persian Gulf, next to Iraq.

Although Lin Fei has Prince Ibrahim as his spokesperson, it is still extremely difficult to enter the Middle East, since Lin Fei's Middle East troops were completely annihilated by the British army, Britain and France have been full of vigilance against Lin Fei's installation of forces in the Middle East.

Lin Fei's current military strength is simply not enough to support his use of force in the Middle East, because the Middle East is too far away from China.

From Huaxia to the Middle East, starting from Sumatra is the closest, even if it is the closest, the distance is still five thousand kilometers, such a long supply line is enough to drag any of Lin Fei's dispatched troops to death.

What's more difficult is that from China to the Middle East, there is no transit station in the middle, which is incomparable with the British, Britain wants to go to China, there are India, Burma as a transit, the port of Mumbai in western India, only more than 1,000 kilometers from the Middle East, British ships have passed through the Middle East, you can replenish grain, fresh water, coal here, and then enter Burma, and then enter China, two South Sea world wars, Britain took this route.

In this era, the oil in the Middle East has not been discovered by all countries in the world, that is to say, Lin Fei is the only one in the world who knows that there is oil in the Middle East, but Lin Fei's advantage cannot be maintained for too long, Lin Fei used gasoline to launch a trade war, twice beat the United States all over the ground to find teeth, the world has seen the value of oil, and the oil in the Middle East will definitely be discovered and exploited soon.

As long as there is an oil well in the Middle East that spews out oil, Western countries will swoop over like flies that have seen carrion, and it will be impossible for Lin Fei to get involved again.

Lin Fei must take control of the Middle East before countries around the world discover Middle Eastern oil fields.

If you want to control the Middle East, you must start from two aspects, one is weaponry, aircraft carriers are a must, Lin Fei has decided not to develop battleships equipped with large-caliber naval guns, submarines are not enough to maintain maritime hegemony, only aircraft carriers can be relied on.

Fortunately, the aircraft of this era are light in weight and slow to take off, so the aircraft carrier does not need a catapult, nor does it need an upturned deck, and the difficulty of development is much lower.

There are aircraft carriers and planes, Lin Fei's plane has been secretly developed, but it has been kept secret, accumulating the advantage of generation difference, Lin Fei's plane will definitely shock the world as soon as it comes out.

Lin Fei wants to develop an aircraft carrier, but the technical difficulty is still very great, and the more difficult technology is the large-displacement ship construction technology and the steam turbine technology, these two technologies, Lin Fei has not been able to overcome, so Lin Fei's largest warship displacement is only 10,000 tons, and the steam turbine is almost none.

In order to solve these two major problems, Lin Fei decided to carry out technical cooperation with the United Kingdom, of course, it is not possible to buy technology with money, the British may not be willing to sell, Lin Fei then thought of exchanging technology for technology, Lin Fei has submarine technology and rocket technology in his hands, all of which Britain wants.

In the process of exchanging technology for technology, Lin Fei did not forget to "fool the world", because Lin Fei announced to the outside world that the Chinese Empire was about to launch the "30,000-ton displacement battleship" project and the "50,000-ton displacement super battleship" project, which attracted countries around the world to develop larger battleships.

With the battleship project, there must also be a giant artillery project, otherwise military experts from all over the world will be suspicious, so Lin Fei announced the launch of the 400 mm large-caliber artillery project, which was led by Russian technical experts who developed train guns.

As soon as this news came out, military experts from all over the world maliciously ridiculed and ridiculed Lin Fei, and they commented one after another, saying that Lin Fei did not understand naval artillery technology, and it was really ridiculous to let a group of guys who developed train guns develop naval guns.

Lin Fei announced in a high-profile manner that the Air Force was formally established, equipped with airships and hot air balloons, and announced the development plan of the "battleship-type airship", which aimed to develop a super airship with a carrying capacity of more than 50 tons, equipped with large-caliber guns on the hull, that is, for air combat and ground attack.

In addition to aircraft carriers, the next generation of artillery combat vehicles must also be developed at an accelerated pace, when recovering Mongolia, Niu Dalong hoped that Lin Fei would send the next generation of artillery combat vehicles, Lin Fei did not agree, not that Lin Fei did not want to take out the next generation of artillery combat vehicles, but that the next generation of artillery combat vehicles was difficult to produce, and the engine technology and fire control system technology were not up to par.

Lin Fei planned to add an artillery stabilizer to the next generation of artillery combat vehicles, so that the artillery combat vehicles have the ability to shoot at a speed of ten kilometers per hour, but this technology has not been able to take shape.

Lin Fei also wanted to thicken the armor and increase the caliber of the artillery, but these had to increase the weight of the artillery combat vehicle, but the engine technology had not been able to break through, and the power had been hovering around 80 kilowatts of the Diesel II type.

Lin Fei had no choice but to let Diesel seize the time to develop, Lin Fei already knew that the engine technology of Germany and the United States was relatively strong, so he arranged for his subordinates to negotiate with Germany and the United States to see if they could introduce German and American engines.

The second is geostrategy, since Myanmar and India are transit points and supply points into the Middle East, then Lin Fei will take Myanmar and India over.

In fact, Lin Fei wants to enter the Middle East, and Myanmar cannot become his transit point, because going to the Middle East from Aceh is closer than going to the Middle East from Myanmar, and the reason why Lin Fei wants to conquer Myanmar is because Myanmar will threaten Lin Fei's Middle East route, and Lin Fei wants to prevent it from happening.

However, it is extremely difficult to do so, first of all, Burma and India are the pearls of the British palm, and after Britain lost the interests of the Qing Dynasty and Southeast Asia, the position of Burma and India became more prominent.

India and Burma transport a large number of raw materials to Britain every year, and Britain sells a large number of goods to India and Burma, reaping huge profits every year.

Secondly, among Lin Fei's subordinates, there are no people who know India and Burma, Lin Fei has a certain understanding of these two places, and the customs of these two places are extremely complicated, and it is definitely not okay to rush forward to occupy them.

So Lin Fei instructed the Foreign Trade Corporation to start trading with India and Burma, and obtain local information while trading.

Since the border areas of Myanmar and Yunnan are tropical rainforests, fighting in this area requires special jungle combat troops, so Lin Fei instructed Qi Lei, who was stationed in Yunnan, to form a jungle combat unit to prepare for future operations.
