Chapter 31 Tongue Wars - Cold War, Hot War, Don't Be Cowardly!

Convincing Zhuge for a long time is a must!

Although he does not have a long vote for Zhuge Wei, Zhuge Weidao will definitely be able to become a military advisor. But his current goal is a little higher, no longer to be a Zhuge military advisor, but to become the prime minister of Zhuge .

Because only when he becomes prime minister can he lead the Ming Empire to fight against the white-skinned world empire!

And Zhuge Wei's long-term support can make him go faster and easier on the road to worship the prime minister.

So, Zhuge pretended to pinch his fingers for the Tao and began to answer his questions about his "old brother".

"Second brother, we simply can't put enough troops into Europe to play a balance now. This is not only because Europe is too far away from us, but also because we do not control the routes to Europe. Our shipbuilding capacity, our heavy industry, that is definitely stronger than the UK. Therefore, it is not difficult for our fleet to overwhelm Britain in terms of hard power, it is nothing more than fighting for shipbuilding, they build one, and we will build two. But the question is, if our fleet is going to Europe, how many British naval fortresses will we have to fight along the way? I'm afraid that by the time we reach the west coast of India, we will be exhausted, and the ship will be broken and short-manned, and then the British Royal Navy will be able to clean us up at ease!

Therefore, we can't control the outcome of the war in Europe at all, and once Europe is suppressed by the British, the British will definitely attack us, even if they don't fight us east of Malacca, they will contain us economically, politically, and militarily...... First of all, we will be enclosed in East Asia, and we will not be allowed to obtain resources and markets from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Oceania, and then slowly stifle our economy. Second brother, if the British use this method to deal with us, do we have a way? ”

"This ......" Zhuge frowned deeply for a long time, "Daozi, do you mean that the British will fight a cold war with us?" ”

When Zhuge Weidao heard the word "cold war", he nodded with a smile: "It should be a cold war first, and then a hot war." Although the technology of Westerners is not as good as ours, there should not be many backward ones. We have the Book of Heaven to lead the way, and they can follow behind us. As long as the trade and exchanges between the two sides are not completely interrupted, they can always follow us unhurriedly. We may be a generation ahead of them in our gear, but this advantage is not absolute. And the Book of Heaven does not guide us forever...... Am I right? ”

Zhuge who was present heard him say this, and his face became even more solemn.

Because the book of heaven handed down by the ancestors does have an end! Now they can rely on the guidance of Tianshu to find the right direction at the beginning and not take detours, which can save a lot of R&D time and energy. But the knowledge recorded in the Book of Heaven is limited!

Once the advantage of Tianshu's guidance is lost, can Daming's technological leadership be maintained? Will it allow white Christian civilization to catch up?

Seeing the dignified old faces, Zhuge Weidao knew that his words had moved this group of old people, so he made persistent efforts and said: "Although the technology of white Christian civilization is not as good as ours now, they control more population, land, and resources than we have!" And they still hold the kind of territory with great potential on the American continent in their hands, which is known as the chosen country. In time, the population and scale of production of white people will definitely surpass ours! If you add in the population of the colonies they control, it's possible that the total number will be more than double ours. There are many people, a wide area, rich resources, and great power! ”

Zhuge Weidao looked at the group of old Zhuge in front of him again, it seemed that only Zhuge Weijiu and the naval division Zhuge Youxin looked relatively calm.

However, Zhuge Youdao is not worried about not being able to scare them. Because he now knows the bottom of King Zhuge Wuzhong, he can probably guess where the "Book of Heaven" mastered by these old Zhuge can go?

So he pondered again and said, "At that time, I'm afraid it's time for a hot war...... Unless we have the weapon to deter all small killings, a big war is inevitable!

Ladies and gentlemen, if Britain becomes the leader of white Christian civilization, then we and Britain will not be two countries fighting, but two civilizations and two races. These Westerners are all robbers who exterminate the human race without blinking their eyes! In order to seize the Americas, they destroyed tens of millions of Indians, and they continue to destroy them now!

In order to develop the Americas, they bought black slaves from Africa and shipped them to the Americas. In order to capture black slaves and sell them for profit, black tribes in Africa killed each other, and I don't know how many people were killed! Lessons from the past, can we complain about them and fantasize? ”

Is this really the case? Will Da Ming really be besieged by the white skins of the whole world?

Zhuge has been for a long time, Zhuge is new, and Zhuge is just beating the drum in their hearts.

Although it is not said in the ancestor's book of heaven, the ancestor's book of heaven is not completely accurate...... For example, the reform of Japan took place ahead of schedule, and the Tokugawa shogunate did not collapse, and the reform was quite successful under the leadership of the shogunate. Moreover, Japan's reform was not to learn from the West, but to learn the way of the Ming Dynasty, and to engage in "the integration of public and military forces, and the discussion of politics by the vassals".

Zhuge Weijiu, Zhuge Youxin, and Zhuge Yougang are actually a little cowardly, and they are also very worried that the white Christian civilization will unite and become enemies of the Ming Dynasty. Now that I meet this little brother who is "really good at pinching and calculating", I am so scared by him, it seems that this thing is really possible!

The other Zhuge present were also worried. These people in the Zhuge family are a little cowardly...... They were born to be great nobles, and they are also high-IQ scholars, as well as the ancestral goldfinger to make money, so it can be said that they want anything. In addition, most of them are now old, the younger ones are in their fifties, and the older ones are in their seventies and eighties. At this age, people tend to be more conservative.

In addition, Daming looks good under the leadership of these people, and it is best to be safe and stable, and the wind and waves are calm.

Zhuge Weidao spoke again at this time, "Second brother, we are guarding the 360 million people of the Ming Dynasty and their descendants, and we are responsible for the rise and fall of the world, so we can't pin our hopes on the mercy of the enemy, right?" Besides, Xiyi is also a barbarian, and he is also afraid of power but not virtue, let's let them go now, they will definitely repay virtue with grievances in the future! ”

"One hundred and eight brothers, then tell me again, how to break this Cold War situation?" Zhuge Weijiu finally couldn't stop a little, but his face was still unhurried.

Zhuge Weidao waited for this question, and he immediately replied: "Second brother, there are two ways for us to deal with it, one is to dig the corner of the white colony...... The younger brother instigated Emperor Daoguang to harass India in the Jin State and led the British into Afghanistan in order to break the myth of the invincibility of the British army to show the Indians, as long as they are not afraid of the British, we will have the opportunity to incite chaos in India. India is the pearl of the palace of the British Empire, and if India is in chaos, the British will not be able to sit still! When the time comes, we can not only uncover the hole cards of the British and show them! If it can sweep away the prestige of the British, the Rakshasa Kingdom may be able to pull in one or two allies that can be used.

Second, when a big war breaks out in Europe, we have to decisively send troops to grab the territory of the white colonists! We don't have to worry about the European continent, and we can't care that far. But we must get our hands on Malacca, the East Indies, the Ceylon Road, Southern Africa, the Persian Gulf, North and Western South America, and Oceania in the South Pacific. It is possible to get the Indians to rise up and establish an independent state!

This territory is a resource, a market, and a space for the development of civilization. As long as our territory is large enough, even if Britain unifies Europe, we will not be afraid. ”

Zhuge Weijiu frowned deeply: "One hundred and eight brothers, if you do this, aren't you afraid that the British will lead the allied forces of all Europe and our Ming Dynasty to the end after suppressing the Rakshasas?" ”

"Don't be afraid!"

Zhuge Weidao's answer was categorical. He smiled: "As long as our territory is large enough, then we can turn from offensive to defensive, and wait for Bai Yi's troops to fight us in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean." If they don't come, we will be able to rely on the large territory, the abundant resources, and the wide market to consume them. They're coming...... Hehe, it's us who will wait for work when the time comes! Let's fight with them for the navy, shipbuilding, and even aviation...... Are you still afraid that you won't be able to fight? ”

"Aviation?" Zhuge Weijiu was shocked again, "One hundred and eight brothers, have you counted the matter of "Aviation Heavenly Book" again?" ”

Zhuge Weidao immediately understood, and he looked at Zhuge Weidao for a long time: "Second brother, the matter of this aviation must be recorded in the three volumes of the secret heavenly book, right?" ”

Zhuge Weijiu nodded: "One of the three volumes of the Secret Book of Heaven is the Book of Aviation, which is said to be a weapon for flying to the sky, according to the will of the ancestors, the Book of Aviation will not be unsealed until the internal combustion engine technology comes out." ”

The internal combustion engine has now appeared, but it is very primitive and not very efficient, but it is also eligible for unblocking. Therefore, Zhuge Weijiu already knew that one of the three volumes of the Secret Book of Heaven was the Book of Aviation. There is also a volume that has also been unsealed at the same time, called "The Book of Cars", as for the conditions for the unsealing of the last volume of the Book of Heaven, it has not yet been met.

Zhuge Weidao smiled: "Okay! Then I'll be a flying strategist! As he spoke, he looked at Zhuge Weijiu and asked, "Second brother, do you think I can be a flying military division?" ”

Zhuge weijiu smiled: "There is one last question!" ”

"Excuse me." Zhuge took a breath for Dao, and he knew that he was about to succeed.

Zhuge Weijiu said: "I am not keen on expansion since the death of King Wuzhong, first, I am afraid that the poor army will affect the people's livelihood; Second, they find it difficult to govern so many territories and populations...... The truth that you can't chew too much if you are greedy, Brother One Hundred and Eight should understand, right? ”

Of course Zhuge Weidao understands, and he also knows the third reason why Zhuge Wei hasn't said it for a long time, that is, cowardice!

Thinking of this, Zhuge nodded for the Tao and said with a smile: "Of course I understand...... I also know that the resources in this world can only allow a small number of people to live a prosperous life, so we can't benefit everyone anyway, but we must make the people of Daming live better than most people in the world!

Therefore, we must not treat all the land we get in our hands as the land of the Ming Dynasty to govern, and we cannot treat the people on these lands as the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"This ......," Zhuge Weijiu frowned, "That's not what the ancestors said. ”

Zhuge Weidao said with a smile: "The ideal of the ancestors must be equality and wealth, and the world is the same, right?" ”

Zhuge was stunned for a long time: "You can also calculate this?" ”

Zhuge said for the Dao heart: "Is this still necessary? Looking at this old-fashioned building, combined with the development route of the Ming Dynasty not engaging in colonies, you can probably know what era King Wuzhong's thinking is stuck in? ”

Thinking of this, he sighed: "Of course the Ancestor's truth is correct...... But the world's resources are limited after all, and the level of production is also limited after all, so there will always be some people who will be more equal than others! ”

"More equal?" Zhuge Weijiu frowned, it was the first time he had heard such a statement, "One hundred and eight brothers, what should we do?" ”

Zhuge Weidao said: "Second brother, let's establish many filial sons and grandsons of the Great Ming Dynasty...... The Ming Dynasty needed a lot of filial sons and grandsons to provide resources, markets, and other primary products. Only in this way can we make the people of the Ming Dynasty live more equally than the people of other countries. And our eight great families and lords will be more equal than ordinary Ming people.

The second brother, the son once said: do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness...... But if we can make the people of the Ming Dynasty feel that they are the ones who have taken more in this inequality, will they love and support us more? ”
