Chapter 352: Shelling Jinzhou Wei 5
As a feudal bureaucrat, Kim Deok-soon did not understand the style of the Ba'ath Army. [No pop-ups] As a revolutionary army, the revival army is also quite unimpressed with Kim Deshun's shameless escape.
The Baath Party, both Wang Shuhui and the Central Committee of the Ba'ath Party, have a very little understanding of the DPRK as a country.
The DPRK and South Korea that modern Wang Shuhui sees in modern times are two small countries that are dissatisfied with China and dissatisfied with China, who are engaged in de-sinicization, and who are very hostile and contemptuous of New China. The Central Committee of the Ba'ath Party, on the other hand, treats all individuals, organizations, groups, and regimes that are not part of the Baath Party and do not share the Ba'ath Party's ideology as enemies.
With this in mind, it is normal for the Revival Army's naval fleet to treat North Korea's Jeju Island as an enemy country.
Wang Shuhui himself lacks the ability to handle international relations. At the same time, he also knew that these disciples under his command who were born with mud legs also did not have such ability. In this case, it is an inevitable consequence of a very tense pattern of responding to external contacts.
Although I know the relationship between war and politics, I can memorize "war is the politics of bloodshed, and politics is a bloodless war". However, as far as the Baath Party is concerned, when it can solve the problem by military means, they will not hesitate to use military means to solve the problem. After all, for them, using military means to solve the problem is the simplest and easiest option.
What Wang Shuhui and the Ba'ath Party don't know is that ancient China and modern China are two completely different countries. Especially when China was in the Han regime, China's ideology was the ideology of the entire Asian world. Confucianism is a universal value in the Eastern Hemisphere of this era. The Ming Dynasty, as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, not only existed in the legal sense, but also existed in the practical sense.
As the first vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The Joseon Kingdom was a loyal vassal of the Ming Dynasty. The appointment of the Joseon king had to go through the central government of the Ming dynasty. The king of Joseon enjoyed the treatment of a prince as a prince in the Ming Dynasty's vassal system. As a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, the Kingdom of Korea was directly controlled by the governor of Denglai of the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, in a practical sense, for a border official of the Joseon Kingdom like Jeju Mu, the official status of the Ming Dynasty, which was not regarded as a matter at all, was much more deterrent to Kim Deok-soon than the artillery and fleet.
In fact, if the fleet headquarters had sent liaison personnel wearing brocade guard uniforms to contact Kim Deok-soon directly, the matter of buying land and building a base on Jeju Island would have been handled on the day the Baath fleet arrived four days earlier.
For Jin Deshun, although the governor of Huguang of the Celestial Empire cannot control the body of the Korean State in terms of authority, but if the Celestial Governor of the same level as the governor of Denglai wants to do something of his own in North Korea, a North Korean magistrate like Kim Deshun can only work hard to do errands.
As an official of the Joseon Kingdom, as a two-class nobleman of the Yi Dynasty, and as a stalwart of the Westerner Party group, the ideology of Shodaism is not a joke for Kim Deok-soon. Don't look at the Houjin Jurchen beating the Korean state and grinning with her teeth, but for the ruling class of the Korean kingdom with Confucianism as the ideology, the Ming Dynasty is the only and eternal heavenly kingdom.
Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town asked for a card for the Korean Kingdom, and Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, asked the Korean court to send ships and grain, although the court of the Korean Kingdom was uncomfortable, they didn't think it was unreasonable.
Therefore, for all the officials of the Korean Kingdom, as long as the Baath Party has the official status of the Ming Dynasty, let alone a high-ranking official like the governor, it is an ordinary seven-rank civil official in the Ming Dynasty, and he still eats very well in North Korea.
For the North Korean side, it is reasonable for the Baathist naval fleet, which has the official status of the Ming Dynasty, to want to do anything on Jeju Island.
The ultimate goal of the "Terminator Plan" formulated by the Central Committee of the Baath Party was, of course, to completely solve the post-Kim Jurchen regime. However, if such a national regime with a total population of about 2 million and a military personnel of about 100,000 wants to completely solve it, it will certainly not be possible to achieve it overnight, one battle or two battles.
The Ba'ath Party's Terminator plan has very clear steps. The mission goal of the first phase of the Terminator Project was to establish a stable and safe logistics supply route consisting of multiple logistics bases, and to conduct a military test of the Later Jin Jurchen's rule in southern Liaoning.
The first step in achieving this goal is to establish a military base on Jeju Island where supplies can be stockpiled and replenished.
With the Terminator program, the Baath Navy was officially established.
Although the Baath Navy at this stage has only the "First Fleet", a semi-steam-powered fleet consisting of one cruiser (a copy of the but fully improved and perfected cruiser Yangwu), five dual-purpose ships (the improved and perfected Evergreen gunboat), five troop carriers, and five container carriers (all two-thousand-ton clippers with a mixture of steam and sail), and sixteen ships of various types.
Don't look at it as nothing in the eyes of modern people, such a small fleet seems to be nothing, but in this time and space, this mixed fleet of war transport, which can carry more than 6,000 soldiers and a large amount of supplies at one time, is still invincible in the world.
In fact, neither the route exploration mission before the start of the Terminator program nor the logistics base construction mission being carried out at this stage, the Baath Party naval vessels have not encountered any opponents in the East China Sea (the Baath Party defines the Tropic of Cancer north of the Tropic of Cancer and the Pacific Ocean west of the 180-degree meridian as the East China Sea) in this time and space.
In fact, when the Baath fleet appeared in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, the full-time pirates and cameo pirates, as well as the regular navy of the Ming Dynasty, quickly sailed away after visualizing the size and speed of the Baath ships, trying to avoid the approach of the Baath ships.
At the beginning of the seventeenth century, when naval warfare was still dominated by gang-jumping operations, the tonnage and speed of ships were all about sail battleships when artillery was meaningless without parallel sailing.
All the part-time and full-time pirates in the East China Sea, as well as the regular navy of the Ming Dynasty, knew that in the face of the speed of about fifteen knots (more than fifteen knots of sail power and about twelve knots of steam power) of the ships of the revival navy, and the tonnage of more than 1,000 tons, it was already very good that they themselves would not be robbed. Unless it's a guy with a brain problem and lacks basic judgment, no one would rush to this kind of strange ship with unknown intentions, and I don't know if it's a strange ship with the same habit of part-time pirates as everyone else.
Of course, the Revival Navy will not allow any ships to come near it. As soon as an unknown ship approached the ships of the Revival Navy, the 120-millimeter caliber Krupp naval gun, the all-steel Krupp naval gun with TNT and picric shells, the 75-millimeter caliber Krupp gun, and the Gatling gun, which were more than 200 years ahead of the world, would tell them that this was a very wrong choice.
However, since the appearance of Baathist's naval ships in the East China Sea, the Baath Navy has not fought a single naval battle. The conventional shelling before the Jeju landing was the first actual combat shelling by the Baath Navy at present, except for military exercises. Space-Time Gate 1619
