Chapter 387: Great Qin Empire
"No!" Chen Gong objected: "Southern Xinjiang and the Han people have just been conquered, and all colonies still need soldiers to defend them. In addition, the reserves are insufficient, and if we start a war rashly, our country will fall into the quagmire of war. The minister suggested that according to the emperor's original goal, he would recuperate for another two years! β
"Not bad!" Chen Deng also said: "Moreover, the most important satellite of our army has not been successfully launched, and the minister also suggested that when the satellite is successful, we will have a more powerful communication capability before going to war!" β
"Humph!" Pang Tong retorted: "We are developing, and Daqin is also developing. Great Qin has a larger population than China, and if they are given better weapons, it will only be more difficult to conquer in the future. Although it will cost a lot of national strength to start a war now, it will be much easier than fighting in the future! β
"Pang Cheng is different!" Xu Shu said: "Even if Great Qin develops again, their technology will not be able to catch up with our Huaguo." Rather than getting bogged down in the quagmire of going to war now, it is better to wait for our country to have more missiles and more heavy weapons before going to war. In this way, there will be fewer sacrifices in the future! β
Pang Tong sneered: "There are many people, and all kinds of secrets are difficult to guarantee. Who dares to guarantee that the enemy country will not have large weapons in the future. If it all evolves into thermal weapons warfare in the future, who dares to guarantee that it will be able to conquer Great Qin within a few years. In this way, wouldn't it make the emperor unable to complete his goal of conquering the whole world. β
"Bold, Pang Tong, you are cursing the emperor for his short life!"
Pang Tong was also anxious, and hurriedly clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that." I just don't want the enemy country to continue to be strong so that future wars will be difficult to fight. If the enemy also has large-scale thermal weapons, I am afraid that our Chinese army will suffer heavy casualties in the future. β
Lu Bu didn't say anything, he was also thinking.
Chen Gong retorted: "The emperor said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. If you don't find out the situation of Daqin first, how can you start a war easily. Once the war starts, the expedition of our Chinese army to Western Europe will be a war for several years. If you don't have enough logistical reserves, where can you afford it? β
Pang Tong snorted: "Instead of waiting, it's better to take the initiative." If the soldiers recuperate for too long, they will become war-weary, and it will be difficult to fight again in the future. β¦β¦β
The court was divided into two factions, and the quarrel was fierce.
This is not the first time this has happened.
As a superior, Lu Bu can be regarded as understanding the difficulties of the superior.
In the same way, it is also understood why the ancient emperor wore a headdress.
As soon as the bead curtain was blocked, the courtiers could not see the emperor's expression and could express their opinions.
But the emperor can see the expressions of the courtiers through the cracks and be the decision-maker behind the scenes.
The unification of courtiers is not a good thing. It's easy to override the emperor, the courtiers have all the same opinions, and your emperor can't be arbitrary.
In the same way, it is not a good thing to divide too many parties.
It is almost impossible to say that there were no henchmen in all dynasties.
Not to mention, in this era when personnel appointments are basically a recommendation system.
Ultimately.
"Okay, okay, since you Aiqing have different opinions, this matter will be pressed for the time being. The family listened to the order. β
Lu Bu drank this, and the ministers were silent.
"Right Prime Minister!"
"The minister is here!" Pang Tong responded.
"Let you send more scouts to carefully investigate the situation of the Great Qin army."
"Obey the order!"
"Prime Minister Zuo!"
"The minister is here!" Chen Gong clenched his fists.
"Let you speed up the subjugation of the colonies, stock up as much as possible war materials, and prepare for the war as early as possible."
"Obey the order!"
"Ministry of Works!"
"The minister is here!" Chen Deng is listed.
"Let you speed up the construction of roads and military posts to Western Europe, and prepare for future wars."
"Obey the order!"
β¦β¦
Lu Bu issued a number of decrees in succession, as if he wanted to prepare for war.
Of course, Lu Bu didn't say when the war would start, just made preparations.
In this way, both parties will not be too offended.
Pang Tong was reasonable, and the other ministers were reasonable.
In fact, Lu Bu didn't want to start a war too soon.
Because he was afraid, he was afraid that once there was a war, the life of the Han people, who had finally become rich, would return to the pre-liberation period.
What's more, Lu Bu also wants to start a war after the satellite is born.
Because once this thing is born, there are so many things that can be changed.
In terms of scientific and technological development, he absolutely does not believe that any country can catch up with him.
Even if there is a leak, how much can be leaked.
It's just that Lu Bu will not let Rome develop in peace.
Therefore, Lu Bu secretly summoned Pang Tong and discussed going to war from the Guogong Mansion.
Zhang Liao guarded South America and is still very loyal to him.
Cao Zhanggang was appointed as the Duke of the State, and it was impossible to rebel.
Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun's loyalty, not to mention.
Cao Cao's gang was independent in the Kushan Territories, although he also had a large number of subordinates, but Lu Bu believed that Cao Cao would not oppose him.
At least, while he was alive, he certainly wouldn't dare.
The only thing that made Lu Bu a little uncontrollable was Sun Quan in Oceania.
Although the current decrees are all in accordance with Lu Bu's wishes, it is because Oceania is completely newly developed, and Lu Bu does not manage too much.
After so many years, Sun Quan can be regarded as having a firm foothold.
Lu Bu felt that he could move Sun Quan's power.
Therefore, LΓΌ Bu ordered Sun Quan's Duke of Wu to lead the soldiers and horses of Oceania to set up a stronghold in Western Europe.
Of course, this stronghold can't really be too important, and it can affect Lu Bu's battle plan in the future.
To put it mildly, if Sun Quan wants to rebel, it will be to make himself uncomfortable.
So after reading the map, Lu Bu asked Sun Quan to lead his troops to the island of Ireland.
That is, the islands of the former British Empire.
This is the last side of the Roman Empire, and Lu Bu is to let Sun Quan occupy a corner.
In the future, if the two sides go to war, maybe they can stab Rome in the ass from behind.
Moreover, even if it fails, it can be regarded as a drain on Sun Quan's troops.
Lu Bu did not ask for much, at least while he was alive, and no one was allowed to rebel against independence.
Dividing Sun Quan's forces through war and then installing his own people was Lu Bu's plan.
As his sons grew up, it made perfect sense to send a prince to guard Oceania.
If you want to control the whole world, you must control the whole world.
Even if there is chaos in the future, it will be the children and grandchildren who will make it their own trouble.
From Oceania to Ireland, it's a 20,000-kilometre sea journey.
When he received the holy decree, Sun Quan's face turned green.
If you want him to fight, he won't refuse, but this position is too far away.
Similarly, Sun Quan was also thinking about Lu Bu's intentions, what he wanted to do.
The purpose has been received, and it is impossible not to fight.
If you don't listen to the call, you are treason.
Next, there will definitely be Lu Bu's army to encircle and suppress.
Therefore, Sun Quan could only go on the expedition.
Sun Quan convened his staff to discuss the plan of the expedition.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor wants us to go to Ireland, and everyone will tell us what you think!"
Everyone looked at each other, and Zhou Yu took the lead and said: "For a distance of 20,000 kilometers, our army's logistics are not guaranteed. In other words, everything needs to be supplied by the emperor. In this way, our army will have to do exactly what it is told. β
