Chapter 797: Loopholes
Leaving Li Xianming and Li Mingfu to bring a group of subordinates, Yang Meng sent Li Mingfu back directly, Li Mingfu, who stayed in Beijing for only half a day, when he boarded the ship, his back was bent, this time he not only brought back his own task, but also brought back Xishan and Dawan, which was a difficult task to complete.
A group of elite technicians in Guangzhou Shipyard were left behind by the third master, which was also a heavy loss for Li Mingfu, and Xishan and Dawan and Huang E were almost like this, as many as four or five hundred elite technician teams entered Beijing, which was also a big loss for several industrial bases of the Yang family!
"Shimmer, this is the road of science and westernization that you are going to take, many times, it is inadvertible, you look at your Lao Tzu, you are about to be crushed by the pressure.
Whether it is science or foreign affairs, whoever eats will work for whom, and if you benefit mankind and the people, it is just a face, and in the end, these still have to serve a country!
Now Lao Tzu said, whether it is Xishan, Guangzhou or Huang'e, Lao Tzu said that all the focus must be shifted to the war, and there is a premise for the shift of the center of gravity, which does not affect normal production and research!
Helpless! Suffering! Maybe that's what you think? If you don't want to kill your own achievements in the future, is it worth it? ”
How helpless this world is, the deepest experience is not those people in the sea of suffering, their life and death, most of the time, are just trapped in food. And Yang Meng, who can see the way of the world clearly, is really helpless, and some things are beyond his reach!
In the battle of Bali Bridge, Yang Meng also wanted to die less, but he couldn't!
Jingshi's Sushun became chaotic. Yang Meng also wanted to die less innocent. But it can't!
Westernization or the development of science and technology. Yang Meng also wants to give them a good environment, but the current situation is like this, it is difficult to protect themselves in a muddy way, let alone rise, if you don't step on the sea of corpses and blood, and don't bury batches of people, you can only think about many things at night.
"Third master. Didn't you give your father a solution? With a way, the next step is to work hard, a year and a half, if you work day and night, you can top it for five years! ”
Li Xianming, this kid is not deeply involved in the world, so he can say such a thing, one and a half years to five years, this is also what Yang Meng is doing, but how many people need to be tired to death to do this, Yang Meng is also clear in his heart!
Day and night. A few days of hard work can survive to death, Li Mingfu. I'm afraid that if I can survive this time, I will also be greatly injured, and the things that Yang Meng explained are actually Li Mingfu's life!
Those who work at the bottom can still work in two or three shifts, and the technicians of the Guangzhou shipyard headed by Li Mingfu do not have this blessing, and they are tired to death, which was expected by Yang Meng.
"Hard work? To put it simply, in the next three months, you will run errands with Lao Tzu during the day and learn Western technology at night! In three months, memorize the things you want to use, and you can work hard!
If you can't pass the exam every day, Lao Tzu, the master, can have a way to torture people, you can't survive and die, which is the life you will face in the next three months!
Commander, inform Liu Yitie in Yunnan, send a group of health experts to Xishan, Guangzhou, Huang'e, let them look at our technicians, in the next period of time, I am afraid that many people will be tired to death, try to keep our technicians, it is really not possible, find a successor before they die! The operation of these places cannot be slowed down by dead people!
Alas...... It's better to die of exhaustion than to starve to death, right? ”
Glancing at Li Xianming, who didn't know the height of the sky, Yang Meng gave Xu Ziwei an order that Li Xianming didn't understand, this tiring thing, I'm afraid this kid has never seen it, right?
"Third Master...... It is not easy to train technical personnel, these people are more expensive than Jairus! Is your burden a little heavy?
Yunnan spent ten years and tens of millions of dollars just to train them! Now is the time when you are half-baked, and you are not afraid to lose your money if you do this? ”
What is Family Background? Li Mingfu is the family is the old man, with these people, the Yang family is still the Yang family, without these people, where will the guns of the new army come from? Where do the barges come from on the river?
Ten ironclad ships, it took five or six years to get a hundred ironclad ships, a year and a half, not to mention the quality of this ironclad ship, just talking about this terrifying quantity, I'm afraid it will crush people!
Xu Ziwei knew that even if there were famous doctors sent by the medical hall, many people would be exhausted, and it was not worth it!
"This foreign affairs and science are also the same as wars, they need the survival of the fittest, the dead, Lao Tzu is not willing, but helpless!
The time for the three stares has come again, this time it's really a game of life, the new army and the militia are going to die a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, they still have a medical hall to take care of them, and the treatment is ten times and a hundred times that of the new army and the civilian group, so if they can't bear it, what else can Lao Tzu expect them to do? ”
Investment must be rewarded, in the vein of Xishan, Yang Meng has invested too much, and now it is time to ask for it, Yang Meng's request is also extremely vicious!
"Alas...... What a world! ”
Xu Ziwei, who has never complained about the difficulties of the world, also began to complain, many things are not worth it!
"What else? Who let us live in this era? Commander, recently people have paid more attention to the affairs of the British and French forces, presumably their troop transport channel is in Egypt! ”
"Oh...... This matter has been reported today, saying that France is going to open a canal through the sea in Egypt, which has been designed four years ago, and as the war is approaching, it has been busy working on it recently! ”
"Humph! Canal? I'm afraid it's too late! Now that it has paid off, what about the equipment of the Anglo-French forces? ”
"No special mention!"
"Hasn't Lao Tzu already explained this matter? Why is it not mentioned? ”
"Maybe in a few days!"
After some questions and answers, Yang Meng didn't get the answer he wanted, his mood was naturally a little uncomfortable, and his voice was a few degrees higher, but he also knew that there were some things that could not be counted without exact information. Speculation will only harm the people on the front line!
Waiting is a grueling job. Even more so with the pre-war wait. If, according to the previous information, the combined fleet of Britain and France should have arrived on Hong Kong Island, but has not yet arrived, then there is only one explanation, and the warships and soldiers are separated from the operation of the British and French forces in this operation.
It takes a lot of time to make a detour through Africa. It is also very difficult to replenish at sea, and the African shipping lanes are not sunny and windy, so instead of letting the large army follow the fleet, it is better for the fleet to follow the fleet, and the army to go to the army.
The combined fleet of Britain and France should be extremely large, and the number of ships should be between 300 and 500, excluding the 100 warships, the most should be merchant ships. Perhaps the hiring of merchant ships in the Red Sea or around the Indian Ocean was a way for the Anglo-French forces to reduce their war expenses.
Don't go by sea, go by land. It also means that the number of Anglo-French troops is quite large, and the previous intelligence confirms that the estimated number of 100,000 people should be reliable, plus the mercenaries of Tsarist Russia, I am afraid that this time the Anglo-French alliance army can really break through the 200,000 mark in terms of numbers.
In addition to the difficulty and enormity of supply, a few accidents and epidemics at sea can bury the lives of tens of thousands of people, and if an army of such numbers is on the Red Sea, such a crisis will be eliminated invisibly on a large extent.
From the Red Sea ship, to Hong Kong Island, between is very short, if the wind and water are smooth, I am afraid that it will be half a month to arrive, so that hundreds of thousands of troops in a short time crowded in the small cabin, but also to minimize the occurrence of epidemics, it seems that after the Crimean War, Britain and France have also grown a lot.
The British and French coalition forces and the Russian mercenaries have been pressing Yang Meng like a boulder on his chest these days, and the number, combat power, and landing location are now unknown, and once it does not match Yang Meng's prediction, disaster will follow.
Today's Yang Meng is also a red-eyed gambler, he put his bets almost all on the Beijing and Tianjin area, if the British and French troops land in the south of the Yangtze River, the outcome of the war and the duration of the war, it is difficult to predict.
In addition to predicting the battle situation and preparing logistics, Yang Meng doesn't have much to do, administration, barely enough, he has many good ways to administer, but today's court is still the Qing Dynasty, not his Yang family, as long as the administration can support the war, it is enough.
As for those flaws, what does it have to do with Yang Meng? He is not to revitalize the Qing Dynasty, the Yang family has its own set of operation methods of the Yang family, as long as the land below is enough, the Yang family's martial arts and granges can run on their own, and now they don't have to take care of it, even if they want to manage it, the Yang family does not have so many manpower and material resources, the war is important, and it is good to barely maintain it at the bottom.
It is very easy to use force to make a country rise, as long as the population is available, the equipment is available, and the strategy and tactics are not too bad, it can always rise!
However, to rely on the power of administration to make a country rise, the investment in this is too great, it takes too much time, come up with a set of reasonable administrative plans, and effectively implement them, this is the livelihood of a generation, I am afraid that it will not be possible in a few years!
In terms of administrative power, Yang Meng does not have such extravagant hopes, besides, in such years, what do you say about governing the country according to law and everyone being equal, isn't it?
In this way, how can Yang Meng unscrupulously kill corrupt people and kill hostile people? The chaos also needs to be maintained, at least until all the wars are over, Yang Meng does not want to change this administrative chaos.
With the rise of a country, with the rise of a country that almost sank, the pressure is too great, the resistance is too great, the implementation of military law throughout the country is the best means of war, with a country twisted together under violence, the war has a strong backing, Yang Meng can unscrupulously mobilize a country's manpower and material resources, although it will make a lot of complaints, but now it is the Qing Dynasty!
The dark things in the war are all the responsibilities that the Qing Dynasty will shoulder, these are all made by the Qing Dynasty, and they have little to do with him Yang Meng, no matter how big he Yang Meng is, there is an emperor on his head!
What does it mean to set things right? What does it mean to abandon darkness and turn to light? In such a scene, Yang Meng will give 40,000 people and the great powers in the future, make it clear!
"Third master, the information from Egypt is here, it's very detailed!"
Under pressure, people are also prone to crankiness, and Xu Ziwei interrupted his train of thought, Yang Meng was not angry, looking at the more than a foot thick telegram in Xu Ziwei's hand, Yang Meng smiled.
Egypt and the Middle East, that is the world back to the world, Yunnan is full of people who want to make pilgrimages, and most of these people are now shadows, Egypt and the Middle East, after the Southeast Peninsula and India, Yang Meng invested the most manpower abroad.
Yang Meng and Xu Ziwei spent a day and a night, flipping through the manuscripts of those telegrams one by one, Yang Meng had a general impression in his heart, and asked Xu Ziwei to read the information he had collated, and after listening to Xu Ziwei's summary, Yang Meng smiled, staring at the blood-red eyes and smiling.
"Good! Twenty to forty days to start a war, count, how many days are there for the New Year? ”
"Sixteen days!"
"Sixteen days? Good! Inform Ding Taichen and try to evacuate the population on Zhoushan Island, if the foreign devils want Zhoushan Island, give them to them!
But except for Zhoushan Island, not an inch of land along the coast is allowed to be lost to Lao Tzu!
Inform Yang Fuliang that the islands off the coast of Yanwei can be given up if they cannot be defended, and other places are the same as Jiangnan, Shandong Peninsula, and not an inch of land is lost!
Inform the camel that if the Anglo-French coalition forces want to land in Beijing and Tianjin, let them land directly, and in front of them, kill the allied troops of Ergin, if it is possible to capture Erjin alive as much as possible, Lao Tzu will kill him alive! ”
"Third master, but there is a way to deal with the Anglo-French forces?"
"Sort of! Lao Tzu discovered one of their loopholes, such a big loophole, a vulnerability that can endanger the security of the entire army! ”
"A loophole is a flaw?"
"Yes, it's a flaw!" (To be continued......)
