Chapter 114: Expedition to Saudi Arabia
was touted by everyone, and Lu Bu was also overjoyed.
With oil, he could finally conquer the world.
However, at this time, Lu Bu was entangled. He's struggling with where to fight.
In this way, Lu Bu had to invite a group of important ministers to the study and began to discuss foreign policy.
Lu Bu pointed to the world map and said: "This territory is bordered by Saudi Arabia, Iraq to the north, and Iran to the east. Of course, the names of these boundaries were chosen by the king himself. Now these boundaries are estimated to be many small countries and small powers, but as long as we occupy this land, we will have an inexhaustible supply of oil. ”
Rumble!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shaken.
Everyone has now realized the enormous importance of oil, which is as expensive as gold.
In other words, the continent encircled by Lu Bu is full of gold!
In this way, Chen Gong couldn't help asking: "Since this continent is a golden zone, why does the king hesitate?" ”
But seeing Lu Bu sighing: "If I decide to take this territory first, then at least three years or even more will not be able to use troops against the grassland." ”
I see.
Everyone already understood Lu Bu's state of mind, that is, Lu Bu's hatred for the Xiongnu was never forgotten.
And once Saudi Arabia is attacked, it will definitely require a lot of materials and troops. In this way, there is naturally no more material and military support to fight the grassland.
Chen Deng said: "Your Majesty, as the direction of future development, the minister thinks it is better to negotiate Saudi Arabia. As the king said, the continent is full of oil. With oil, we can build cars, build ships, and build airships. In this way, it will be easy to conquer the world in the future. ”
"Not bad!" Chen Gong also said: "Since trading with the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu have not gone south to plunder. The conquest of the grassland can be postponed. ”
"Hmm!" Pang Tong also nodded: "The railway to Chang'an has not yet been completed, and there is no hurry to conquer the grassland." The minister also suggested occupying Saudi Arabia first! ”
Xu Shu said: "Shu has nothing to say, as long as the king is a big man, Shu will naturally support it!" ”
Qiao Xuan smiled: "I don't have to express my position, you have the final say!" ”
Everyone supported the expedition to Saudi Arabia, and Lu Bu no longer had any doubts.
Lu Bu asked, "Shiyuan, how is the situation in Bingzhou now?" ”
Pang Tong said: "It has been completely stabilized, all the scholar families have obtained high benefits, and no one has rebelled against the prince." Coupled with the original soldiers and horses in the state, there are now a total of 150,000 elite soldiers in the state. ”
Lu Bu nodded: "Okay, withdraw the five horses from Bingzhou, and recall Lu Ling and Huang Xu." In addition, the navy will be selected from the whole army, and this time there will be at least 50,000 or more navies. Also, let Cheng Lian, Gao Shun and the trapped camp also go to sea training. ”
"Got it!" Pang Tong responded.
Soon, Lu Ling and Huang Xu returned from Bingzhou.
Then, Lu Bu gathered everyone together to determine the final military plan.
The coach this time, of course, is Lu Ling. After all, it's his own daughter, so there's no reason not to believe it.
You must know that this territory is too important and too important, and Lu Bu has to use his relatives.
Lu Bu pointed to the world map and said: "This is the capital of the Yuan Kingdom and Pi Zong (Malaysia), this is the shipping route for us to and from the Indian Ocean in the future." Therefore, it must be occupied first. Cheng Lian, this place is guarded by you. ”
"The last will obey!" Cheng Lian immediately clenched his fists.
Lu Bu nodded, and then looked at Lu Ling, Huang Xu, and Gao Shun: "As for the continent of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran, you can arrange it yourself according to the situation." On this expedition, the king gave you 50,000 navy. A group of civil servants and military generals, all kinds of materials, you can choose them. Half a year later, the army set out! ”
"I'll do it!" Everyone clasped their fists in unison.
Lu Bu sighed and nodded, and then said softly: "This has been going for many years, I don't know what year." Wait for your family members to take it away, don't leave any ties in Xuzhou. ”
When he said this, everyone's eyes were red.
"Daddy!" Lu Ling even threw herself into Lu Bu's arms in public, crying constantly.
Everyone present was full of excitement and mixed feelings.
Soon half a year passed, and nearly 300,000 people of the 50,000 navy, plus a number of civilian officials, and the families of officers and men in the army, sailed to the Indian Ocean.
This time, it not only took away almost all of Xuzhou's material reserves, but also took away almost all large sea vessels.
Naturally, these family members were also very useful, and they were able to spread a variety of Han culture and skills.
At the same time, it can also allow the sergeant to fight without concern and expand his territory.
As for the rebellion, it was his most loyal subordinates who went there. If it's the opposite, it means that he is too bad a person.
If you want to do the opposite, at least it will be a few generations later.
And by that time, Lu Bu would have already ruled the world, and all kinds of systems would be sound, who would dare to oppose it.
If you have one local power against you, all the other forces can attack you.
As long as the central government is sufficiently centralized, the regime will not fall.
The reason why the Han Dynasty was fighting was because there was no army in the center. The army is in the hands of the candidates, and of course they want to do it themselves.
After the army left, Lu Bu certainly wouldn't be idle.
First, it is necessary to establish a communication network that can transmit messages to Saudi Arabia; now there is little electromagnetic interference, and it is not a problem for short-wave communications to be transmitted thousands of miles by sea.
So, as long as a transit station is established on the island in the middle of the way, this is not impossible.
In addition to communications, it is the construction of oil tankers.
If there are no oil tankers, even if a large amount of oil is drilled, how can it be transported back?
Therefore, larger and heavier cargo ships had to be built.
And such a ship, wood is not satisfied.
So, it has to be made of steel.
Now that the welding technology has been successfully developed, Lu Bu has ordered the shipyard to develop a new type of freighter. The main material is made of steel plates.
The power pack also needs to change slightly, because in the future the steam wheel will no longer burn coal, but heavy oil.
With the experience of later generations, Lu Bu must of course take into account all factors from the beginning and try his best to reduce the time and cost of research and development.
After explaining all kinds of things, Lu Bu ushered in another diplomatic request.
That is, the three Yuan brothers couldn't resist and begged him to save their lives.
Just kidding, Lu Bu wished that all parties were dead, how could he be saved.
If Lu Bu didn't save him, the Yuan family had no chance to rise again, and finally began to decline.
As in history, Yuan Tan was the first to die, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were forced to throw themselves into Wuheng.
And if we follow history again, I am afraid that Cao Cao will continue to conquer Wuheng, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi will be forced to surrender to Liaodong. Liaodong didn't dare to offend Cao Cao, so he beheaded the two brothers and dedicated them to Cao Cao.
Brother Yuan, Lu Bu doesn't care anymore.
But Lu Bu couldn't help but think of a historical event.
If Cao Cao conquers Wuheng, Guo Jia will go with him. And Guo Jia was dying of illness on the way to conquer Wuheng.
For Guo Jia's talent, Lu Bu also appreciates it, if he can collect it for his own use, it will definitely be of great use to him to conquer the world.
So, how can Guo Jia's death be changed.
