Chapter 493: Marines
In history, the most protracted and classic modern naval warfare was naturally the Pacific War of World War II.
The Japanese invaders launched a far-reaching Pacific War with an unexpected surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Judging from the results of the first war, the Japanese invaders simply completely destroyed the US imperialism. However, the course of the subsequent war once again confirmed the thesis that "the war is actually fought economically"; if the US imperialists fought the Japanese invaders on land too early, the outcome would not be known -- after all, the US imperialists were really not good at land wars, and they frequently fell into the quagmire of wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and the US imperialists were repeatedly taught to be human beings -- but naval warfare was different, and whoever fought had more aircraft carriers and more warships and planes, then the Japanese invaders would have to eat the exhaust gas of the US imperialists......
Zhang Li's thoughts were still running, but Chen Zhengcao spoke: "My lord, with the ever-changing strength of our Tuanshan Fort Arsenal, in a few years, the cannons we built will definitely be far superior to those cannons of the Zheng family's warships." Besides, although the Tuanshan Shipyard can only build some small ships now, it is only a matter of time before it can build large ships. Under the advantages of one and the other, the future of the Zheng family is not worrying. But—"
Chen Zhengcao changed his words and said word by word: "For now, we should preserve our strength and avoid a premature decisive battle with the Zheng family at sea!" ”
Zhang Zhang looked at Chen Zhengcao with some surprise, but he didn't expect that in a short period of time, he could actually see the follow-up strength of the Tuanshan Army - just like Mi Di, he didn't compete with the British before World War I, so he continued to "the sun never sets"! When the industrial strength of Midi surpasses that of Britain, even if it does not go to war with the "Sun Never Sets" Empire, the sun of the Sun Never Sets Empire will also go down, and you will have to follow it as a little brother behind its ass.
Zhang Li smiled slightly. Yun said lightly: "He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills." He is crossed by him, and the bright moon shines on the river. ”
Chen Zheng was worried. I haven't come back to my senses for a long time. When Master Zhang was not prominent before, he was the first genius of the Ming Dynasty! His words "if life is only as first seen" was rated as the first word in the three hundred years of the dynasty by Master Ma!
It's just that after being in a high position, the successive battles seem to have attracted all the energy of Lord Zhang, and he rarely recites poems correctly. Now the poems recited casually by Lord Zhang seem to be plain, but when you think about them carefully, they contain infinite philosophies!
Is this the so-called road to simplicity, back to basics? Lord Zhang's artistic conception has been raised to such a high level?
When Chen Zheng was thinking about it. Zhang Zhang didn't pay attention to his expression at all, this sentence of Master Jin was just a snap, who had ever thought about so much?
What Zhang Li was thinking about was how to deal with the affairs of the Zheng family. Just as Chen Zhengcao said, naval warfare is no better than land warfare, and the chance of defeating the strong with the weak is not great. Therefore, there is no doubt that now is not the best time to fight Zheng Zhilong at sea.
But Sister Jingping tried her best to stab the Zheng family's infighting on the side of the Tuanshan Army, if she didn't take advantage of it. Wouldn't it be a pity?
But how do you use it?
Zheng Zhilong's lair is in Fujian, far away from Liaodong, and the Tuanshan Army is an army. I can't drive it over.
Wait a minute!
The army drove over?
Zhang Li's eyes flashed, and he slapped the table suddenly, who would have thought that this slap was too hard. It hurts so much that it hurts!
Chen Zheng was happy in his heart, he hadn't seen Master Zhang so excited for a long time. Since Zhang Li entered Liaodong. Basically, he shows people with a serious and calm image, and he no longer has the same actions as when he was in Beijing in the past.
In Chen Zhengcao's heart. He couldn't sit in such a position by himself - because he was too lonely, too serious. Zhang Zhang has ambitions in the world, which can be seen at a glance by those who understand. Daming Jingshi even rumored that tension was "Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by knew it".
Although the words are not so good, but who has not been criticized for achieving great things throughout the ages?
During this period of time, Chen Zhengcao misses the first time he met Zhang Zhang in Beijing - Xu Guangqi and Lord Xu's mansion, and Zhang Zhang "snapped" and slapped Dai Jian's arrogant second goods in the face. Later, the Baohe Hall called right, and then the later Hongmiao Restaurant "overturned the case......
The scenes of the past are really embarrassing!
After the pain, Zhang Zhang was a little embarrassed, so he learned Sun Quan's words before the Battle of Chibi, and said categorically: "I will decide!" ”
Of course, Chen Zhengcao knew the origin of this sentence, smiled slightly, and also gathered his thoughts, and asked, "My lord, what do you mean-"
Zhang Zhang said slowly: "Marine Division." ”
When Zhang Zhang said this brand new word lightly, Chen Zhengcao's eyes immediately deepened. He groaned slightly, and said with some confusion: "What do you mean, do you want to fight on land?" Then the role of the sailor is ......"
Zhang Zhang stole the concept of "marines" in later generations: "The sailors are in charge of transportation and alert, and this marines are in charge of landing operations!" ”
Chen Zhengcao slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Wonderful! Wonderful! With your own strength, attack the enemy's short! Your Excellency is truly a man of God! ”
Zhang Zhang laughed and teased: "Brother Zhengcao has also learned to send me a high hat?" Ha ha! ”
Chen Zhengcao obviously didn't mean to do this, but he couldn't help it, because Zhang Li's idea was so good: "Uh, my lord, that's not the point......"
Both of them are extremely smart people, so there is no need to say more!
Zheng Zhilong's strength is the Navy, while the strength of the Tuanshan Army is the Army. If you use the fleet to attack Zheng Zhilong, I'm afraid the chances of winning are not great; However, the fleet was used to transport the "marines" to the vicinity of the port, and then attacked the enemy from the land, and the Tuanshan army was basically sure to win.
The Jurchen Manchu Eight Banners, who was known as invincible and invincible before, has been beaten by the Tuanshan Army and can't take care of himself, how can Zheng Zhilong be an opponent?
Chen Zhengcao became more and more excited, and asked repeatedly: "My lord, I don't know where our Marine Corps will attack in the first battle?" ”
Zhang Zhang laughed, shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry, brother, the Marine Corps has not yet been formed!" ”
"Uh-" Chen Zhengcao's expression darkened, and he understood that he was indeed too anxious - this was not to blame him, the Tuanshan Landscape Master had been suppressed by Zheng Zhilong, and he had long been holding back the fire in his belly. However, naval warfare is no better than land warfare, and it is fought with ships and artillery, and it is not half false.
Therefore, poor strength is poor strength, you have to admit it, and then catch up. must not be like the Japanese in World War II, arrogant to the extreme, bumping into Emperor Mi headlong, and sending himself to death, no one can stop the drop, the result is naturally hehe, and he has found a "godfather" for decades......
Zhang Zhang looked at the disappointed Chen Zhengcao, and said with a smile: "I already have eyebrows in my heart, Commander of the Marine Corps, you don't need to worry, this team will be formed soon." (To be continued.) )
