In the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, July 21.

Zhuge Weidao, who had already completed a month's marriage leave, although he had lost so much weight, he still followed the Minister of the Navy Zheng Guoan into the Shangshu Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in high spirits.

I have to say that Zhuge Weidao's body is really strong enough!

This half-month vacation is really more tiring than "997" overtime! A Natalie, a Nalan fairy...... There is also a Empress Dowager Zheng, and the three women have to deal with it in place.

Among them, the "output" of Natalie is even more important, with the joint efforts of Zhuge Weidao, Natalie, and Nalandili, Natalie finally lost her menstrual affairs, and she was diagnosed with a happy pulse eight days ago.

And that's not all, he still has a lot of career matters to deal with - the marriage leave is given by the Admiralty, but he has to attend the meetings of the military division. I don't know if it's because the Ming Dynasty is now at a critical crossroads, and the "peace national policy" that has been implemented for more than 100 years may undergo a fundamental change. Therefore, during this period, the meetings of the military division and regiment were held very intensively, and eight meetings were held in a month.

The issues discussed also covered a wide range of issues, including economics, politics, diplomacy, military affairs, science and technology, trade, and investment...... Almost all of them are involved. Zhuge Weidao is just a "candidate", he can't take the initiative to speak, and can only wait for other military advisors to ask him questions. When there are no questions to answer, he can only listen carefully.

And after listening to a few plenary meetings of the military division, Zhuge Weidao had already discovered that the military division had already realized that the change was coming!

Perhaps the military division did not realize that there must be a dragon and tiger battle between the European power bloc led by the Ming Dynasty and the Great Britain...... However, those scheming military advisors have long realized that the relatively harmonious relationship between the East and the West in the past 100 years or so has become unsustainable.

So they also began to prepare for a possible (and inevitable in the eyes of Zhuge Weidao) in the future!

At the same time, they also began to discuss how the clash of civilizations between the East and the West or the world war will occur in the future.

And when they began to discuss the conflict between the East and the West, they often threw Zhuge Weidao a lot of questions - the reason why Zhuge Weidao could become an alternate military advisor was not because he had a super high IQ and EQ, but because he suddenly gained a little ability to "predict the future" after being injured in the head!

Although the military division of the Zhuge family has always maintained the image of "being able to pinch and calculate" to the outside world, those old military divisions who have obtained the position of military division by various operations know that they do not have the ability to predict the future...... With the discrepancy between the historical evolution and the records in the "Book of Heaven" left by King Wuzhong, those old military advisors are also confused about the future.

After all, these military advisors only glimpsed some history on another timeline from the various "heavenly books" they obtained, and they didn't know the evolution of the entire history, and they didn't even know that King Wuzhong's "prediction" was actually a real history that happened in a parallel universe.

So it's also hard for them to deduce the history that has changed......

And Zhuge Weidao knows the truth, and he also knows the complete history of another timeline until 2022, and he also knows the internal logic of the evolution and development of that period of history, so he really has the ability to "predict".

Although his "foreknowledge" may not be completely accurate, the value of reference is extremely high. And Zhuge talked about these historical issues for the Tao, which is the head of the Tao...... Obviously, he got the "talent" of his ancestors.

Such a "talented" Zhuge is even too important for the confused military division. So the big guy has to ask before Zhuge is sent out for the Tao!

In addition to answering questions and solving doubts for the old military divisions in the military division, Zhuge Weidao also had to Zhang Luo's own "Flying Printing Regiment" - this mission was very important to him and Daming.

Once it is messed up, not only does it not know when its own candidate military division will be turned into a regular soldier, but it will also strengthen the hegemony of the British Empire in the West and India...... That's more than worth the loss!

Therefore, Zhuge Weidao has also run to the Admiralty Airship Field several times these days, and he also personally boarded a "Feitian III" reconnaissance and bombing airship piloted by Ling Zongjun, rose to an altitude of several hundred meters, flew to Tianjin at a speed of 100 miles per hour, and then turned back to Beijing. The whole process is smooth and comfortable, and if it weren't for the fact that the overhead airbags are filled with flammable hydrogen, the airship is still very safe.

The next day, Zhuge Weidao got on this airship again and flew to the Admiralty shooting range outside Beijing and dropped as many as 12 100-kilogram training bombs!

If there is a real battle, these pimple bombs will be filled with 15 to 75 percent of the safety explosives - that is, trinitrotoluene as the main material, depending on the purpose. It is also possible to replace the pylons with more bomblets, such as twenty-four 50-kilogram bombs or forty-eight twenty-five-kilogram bombs.

If the largest 100-kilogram armor-piercing bullet is used, I am afraid that even the monarch class and the Hongwu Emperor class will not be able to resist it...... The hit rate may be a bit low, but you can still blow up the enemy ships parked in the harbor!

Even if they can't blow up the enemy ships in the harbor, these airships can still throw a few mines! If you can concentrate hundreds of airships and drop one or two thousand mines a day, it will be tens of thousands a month!

In addition, if an anti-personnel projectile with a charge of 30% hits the head of the infantry cluster, it will also explode a large area! Even if you can't blow up someone, you can scare people to death! How could the A-3 infantry of the British Indian Army not be afraid of bombs dropped from the air?

Although Zhuge Weidao knew very well that the method of airship bombing was not the mainstream of history, there were no good air defense weapons at the moment, and it might be possible to achieve good results. Therefore, after inspecting the "No. 1 in the sky" Daming airship troops, Zhuge Weidao's confidence was a lot more.

After finishing the above two major things, on July 19, Zhuge sent his pregnant wife to Xishan Villa with great fanfare, and let her recuperate there to give birth. The day after arriving in Xishan, he also led Natalie to Xishan Palace and visited Empress Dowager Zheng, who was cultivating her body there.

So today he came directly from Xishan Palace, and went out early in the morning, sitting in the Shangshu Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at this time, he was a little sleepy, yawning vigorously.

Just as he was sleepy here, Lin Zexu, who was sitting on the main seat of the middle hall, suddenly smiled and said to Zhuge Weidao: "Zheng Shangshu, are your naval advisory group ready?" ”

Lin Zexu and Lin Zhongtang looked very excited, and they couldn't wait anymore.

However, no matter how anxious he was to see the British unlucky, he had to wait patiently for the navy and army to gather the manpower of the advisory group—after more than a month of patchwork, the two advisory groups added together, and there were almost 1,500 people!

And in order to ensure that these 1,500 people can make meritorious contributions, the Admiralty and the War Department have all contributed to it. not only supported a batch of machine guns and artillery from the Jin Empire, but also gave ten airships and twenty inflatable armed rubber boats in one go...... This can be regarded as a complete navy, land and air force! If Emperor Daoguang was really unwilling to "print", this advisory group would be able to bully a British and Indian army by itself.

When Zheng Guoan heard Lin Zexu's question, he turned his head and smiled at Zhuge Weidao, who looked sleepy, and asked, "Brother Daozi, how are you preparing?" ”

Zhuge Weidao immediately cheered up and said with a smile: "Shangshu, the naval advisory group is ready, and it is ready to set off to Central Asia at any time to help Dajin run the navy!" ”

Zheng Guoan looked back at Lin Zexu.

Lin Zexu smiled and said, "Okay, let's set off in three days!" ”
