Compared with artillery shells, rockets have a big advantage, that is, rockets have their own engines, and the range can reach a distance that is difficult for artillery shells to reach, and artillery shells want to increase the launch distance, they can only rely on more charging propellants, and the propellant is impossible to increase indefinitely.

In Lin Fei's era, the maximum range of rockets could reach 500 kilometers, large intercontinental missiles could even reach 10,000 kilometers (missiles are actually rockets plus warheads), and large sounding rockets could even fly a distance of 380,000 kilometers to send spacecraft to lunar orbit.

As for the shells, the range of the Paris cannon was only 131 kilometers, and the theoretical range of the later Barbados cannon could reach 2,000 kilometers, but these cannons were extremely large and had no value for use on the battlefield at all.

After Lin Fei put the rocket on the battleship, the range would definitely be far more than 10,000 meters, and he would definitely have a great advantage in naval battles!

As for the power of the rocket, it is far more than the artillery shell, because the rocket has its own engine, so its caliber can be made very large, the caliber can be made very large, and the charge is naturally more, like the Chinese Guardian-2 rocket artillery rocket in Lin Fei's era, the caliber is as high as 406 mm, and the warhead charge far exceeds the artillery shell.

Although Lin Fei's rocket battleship has a long range and is powerful, it is not invincible, because rockets have a congenital disadvantage, that is, compared with the low accuracy of artillery shells, in naval battles, it is very likely that all the rockets are fired, but none of them hit the enemy ship.

This shortcoming cannot be completely overcome, if you want to completely overcome it, you can only add a seeker in front of the rocket, add a control zhì rudder to the rocket body, and convert the rocket into a missile, but these are simply fantasy for Lin Fei, so Lin Fei can only try to control the error as much as possible on the one hand, and increase the carrying capacity of the rocket on the other hand, and increase the probability of hitting.

While Lin Fei was developing rockets, he also began to develop airships. To develop the airship, Lin Fei used Tsiolkovsky again, who first studied airships, and later went to study rockets.

Lin Fei now only knows that the French have started the development of the airship, as for what the French airship looks like, Lin Fei does not know anything, so Lin Fei can not formulate targeted design parameters, so he can only hand over the design parameters of the German Zeppelin that he knows to Tsiolkovsky, and let Tsiolkovsky design it according to the appearance of the Zeppelin, which is already the world's leading airship in this era.

The development of equipment can not be completed in a day or two, rockets, airships, battleships, with the help of advanced technology mastered by Lin Fei, I am afraid it will also take a year to complete, during this time, Britain, France, Japan and other powers, are also actively developing new technologies, so to speak, China and the great powers, is engaged in a race, whoever loses, who will lose the whole country and nation!

China's industrial base is indeed inferior to that of the Western powers, and even worse than that of Japan, which is reckless in military force, and if it competes fairly, Lin Fei will definitely lose, so Lin Fei decided to adopt a series of measures to slow down the development of the Western powers, Japan and the Qing Dynasty.

What Lin Fei needs to initiate the most is to break the war. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a cloud: "Go to the army to fight and strategize, and then fight and fight." At this time, Britain, France, Japan, and the Qing State formed a solid alliance, and if this alliance was not broken, the Chinese Empire would inevitably fall into a situation of being attacked from all sides again in a future war.

The Four-Nation Alliance seems to be stable, but within the alliance, there are many contradictions!

First of all, look at the two most powerful countries, Britain and France, they have a deep conflict of interests in the Indochina Peninsula, there are six countries on the Indochina Peninsula, Burma, Siam, Malaya, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, of which Myanmar and Malaya are occupied by Britain, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam are occupied by France, Siam is sandwiched between the two powers, is the object of competition between the two sides.

Britain was bent on swallowing the French colonies, and France was bent on swallowing the British colonies, and the contradictions between the two sides came from this, which were irreconcilable, and would never be eliminated because of the common enemy of China.

Looking at the Qing State again, the Qing State and the other three countries have contradictions, and it goes without saying that Britain and France naturally burned the Old Summer Palace during the Second Opium War and launched the Sino-French War to seize Vietnam...... It is almost a living history of blood and tears, and Japan still occupies Shengjing, the land of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, like the Qing Dynasty, Japan was oppressed by the unequal treaties between Britain and France, and the British and French enjoyed extraterritoriality in Japan, and Japan had no right to deal with crimes committed by Japan.

Lin Fei carefully analyzed the four opponents, and found that although the contradictions between Britain and France were deep, it was difficult for him to use them in a short period of time, because he did not have any power in the Indochina Peninsula, so Lin Fei secretly sent agents to support his own forces in the Indochina Peninsula.

There was still hope for instigating contradictions between Japan and Britain and France, and Lin Fei secretly instructed Wang Yao to find groups among the Japanese people to oppose Britain and France and give them financial support.

The most suitable for inciting contradictions is the Qing Kingdom!

The Qing State was poisoned by the two Opium Wars and the First Sino-Japanese War, the burning of the Old Summer Palace and the Lushun Massacre, and Britain and France are still sending opium to the Qing State, and the Japanese First Division still occupies Shengjing.

To stir up contradictions, the best way is to master the news media, a piece of news in the newspaper, enough to cause a country's **, there were newspapers in ancient China, this kind of newspaper is called "Di Bao", the content and form are far from modern newspapers, in modern times, foreigners founded a lot of newspapers in the Qing Dynasty.

Lin Fei decided to establish the "Qing State Times", which is located in the Chinese Consulate in Shanghai, so that even if it is blocked and searched by the Qing State, he is not afraid, after all, the Qing State does not dare to touch the Chinese Consulate.

The content of the newspaper, of course, was to criticize the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, and pointed out the depth of the damage done to the Qing court by Britain, France, and Japan, and the Qing court of this era had not yet realized the guiding role of the newspaper in guiding public opinion, and did not design an extremely strict censorship system like Lin Fei, so Lin Fei's ideas could be spread in the Qing country without hindrance.

The printing technology of this era was not advanced, and the printed images were very blurry, so the newspaper could only publish words, and the impact on readers was too small, so Lin Fei decided to set up an exhibition hall to display the material evidence of the oppression of the Qing Dynasty by various countries, so as to incite the hatred of the Qing people against Britain, France and Japan.

In order to arouse the resonance of the people of the Qing Dynasty, Lin Fei named this exhibition hall "Memorial Hall of the Martyrdom of the Descendants of Yan and Huang", set up this exhibition hall in Taipei, and invited Qing officials and wealthy businessmen to visit, Taipei is very close to the Qing Dynasty, and it only takes seven hours to arrive from Fuzhou by Lin Fei's newly developed high-speed transport ship.

In order to speed up the speed of plotting against the Qing people, Lin Fei built Taiwan into a tourist resort, and the Chinese have had a tradition of metallurgical tourism since ancient times, so many people came to visit, but because most of the Qing people were poor, most of the people who came were rich businessmen.

The time was close to November 22, two years earlier, in 1895, this day was the day when Lin Fei drove out the Japanese, and later Lin Fei designated this day as "Taiwan Liberation Day".

Lin Fei decided to take advantage of the second anniversary of Taiwan's liberation to invite Qing court officials and people to participate in the commemorative day celebration ceremony, and to hold a military parade on the day of the anniversary.

Lin Fei sent the invitation letter to the Qing Embassy in China under the banner of the same culture, the same species, the same ancestor and the same ancestry, hoping that the Qing government would send senior officials to participate together, but he didn't expect Kang Youwei to change his face when he saw the invitation, slammed the invitation on the ground, and scolded angrily: "A rebel dares to share the same ancestor and ancestor with me in the Qing Dynasty." ”

Kang Youwei's move made the foreign minister of the Chinese Empire furious, brushed his sleeves away, and reported the matter to Lin Fei, Lin Fei sneered after hearing it, it seems that there is no need to expect the high-ranking officials of the Qing State to come, but it doesn't matter, it is enough for the people of the Qing State to come.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Kang Youwei actually sent someone to deliver the news, which said that the Qing government sent a delegation of 200 people, headed by Yuan Shikai, commander of the fifth battalion of the Commander of the Jiumen Infantry Army, to Taipei to attend the activities of Taiwan's liberation day.

Although Yuan Shikai is now the commander of the new army, the "commander of the new army" is not within the official system of the Qing court, so the Qing court gave Yuan Shikai a "commander of the five battalions of the Admiral Nine Gate Infantry Army", which is a big official from the first grade.

Lin Fei didn't expect the Qing court to attach great importance to this matter, and he was a little surprised, but he still instructed his subordinates to do a good job in the reception of the Qing mission.

On November 18, Lin Fei personally went to Taipei, and on November 20, Lin Fei arrived in Taipei, where he was personally greeted by Hsu Hsiang, the governor of Taiwan Province.

Lin Fei went directly to the memorial hall of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and inspected one exhibition hall after another, which contained photos of the Japanese army killing the Qing people, photos of the British and French forces burning the Old Summer Palace, and the bones of the Qing people killed by the Japanese soldiers, and even an 800-meter-long "Wailing Wall", which was engraved with the names of the victims...... All in all, every descendant of Yan and Huang who goes out from here will have an urge to pick up stones and kill Japan, England and France!

Lin Fei nodded with satisfaction, this is what he wanted, and he said to Xu Xiang who accompanied him: "Your exhibition hall is very good, I don't know how the preparations for the parade are?" ”

Wei Zelong, commander of the Fourth Group Army stationed in Taiwan, replied loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, everything is ready." ”

Lin Fei smiled: "Very good, at the parade, I have an important thing to announce!" ”
