Zhuge military division, all together!

In addition to Zhuge who has been in Europe for a long time, and the old Zhuge Youli and Zhuge Youxin are three people, the remaining sixteen military divisions of the Zhuge family have all come to Longzhongzhuang today - this is almost the strongest computing power of the Ming Dynasty. It is equivalent to connecting sixteen supercomputers of "real artificial intelligence" in parallel! In today's world, it is estimated that there is no stronger supercomputing power than them.

And the reason why the Zhuge family wanted to gather so many Zhuge military divisions together was, of course, because Nicholas I, the Roman Caesar dressed up, was deflated in front of the Adrianople defense line of the Turks.

If you count the Western calendar, it is already May 18, 1829. After the failure of the attack on May 10, Nicholas I attacked for three days and three nights on May 14, May 15, and May 16. After more than 200,000 artillery shells, hundreds of napalm, and more than 30,000 casualties, Nicholas I's army was able to break through the first and second lines of defense of the Turks....... But as long as you understand a little trench warfare, you should know that a breakthrough of this magnitude is meaningless.

Because the Turks could also build more trench fortifications between Adrianople and Constantinonyer! Moreover, the terrain between Adrianople and Constantiniye was a gradually narrowing peninsula, and the further Nicholas I's army advanced, the narrower the terrain became, and the more difficult it was to defend and attack.

When the devastated Rakshasa army advanced outside the city of Constantiniye, they were bombarded by the warships of the Turkish naval fleet anchored in the Golden Horn and bombarded by the Turkish coastal defense batteries...... There is no doubt that in the face of an Ottoman Empire that fought to the death and learned trench warfare, even if Nicholas I could win, it would not be easy!

"Can't win, can't win...... Rakshasa can't win! If there was no trench warfare, it might have been possible to take Constantinople, but now with trench warfare, barbed wire, and machine guns, this is not something that the Rakshasa country, which is still engaged in serfdom, can win. Nicholas I was in great trouble! ”

The former army elder, now retired at home, Zhuge Yougang, who was teasing his grandson, had already calculated, only to see him shaking his head again and again with a white beard.

This old man has worked in the army all his life, and has been promoted to army general, serving as an army secretary, army chief of staff, president of the army university and other important positions, and also served as a right minister. He has never fought a war, and he is particularly anti-war, and he is nicknamed "anti-war general".

However, although the young man in the army was dissatisfied with him, he also had nothing to do with him - there was no subordinate on the Ming side, and the military has always been subordinated to politics.

Zhuge Weiyi, who presided over today's "supercomputing meeting", turned his head to look at Zhuge Weidao, who has the strongest computing power among the "sixteen supercomputers" - he has been preparing for an expedition to the Persian Gulf these days, which is a big project! Not only must many front-line combat ships be dispatched, but also a large number of ammunition ships, coal ships, grain carriers, hospital ships, maintenance ships, troop carriers, bulk carriers, minelaying ships, trawlers, camouflage attack ships, and a large number of auxiliary ships.

Zhuge Weidao went to open a sub-base this time, and there will be some problems with the logistics supply of this Persian Gulf base, so he has to prepare enough materials and equipment.

In addition, he could not pick some good ships to take to the Persian Gulf. How precious is a good ship and a fast ship, isn't it a waste to go to the Persian Gulf to exist in the fleet? Therefore, Zhuge Weidao tried his best to pick some broken and rotten ones with sails, and the ones that were about to retire and take them on the road, just picking these ships was dazzling...... At this time, he was still wondering how to do it with camouflage attack ships?

"Daozi, Nikolai is your uncle's wife," Zhuge said righteously, "You calculate for him, can he be the Roman Emperor this time?" ”

"That's a bit of a hanging!" Zhuge Weidao quickly retracted his thoughts, and then thought about it, "But he doesn't deserve to be the emperor of Rome, and it doesn't matter so much to us...... He deserves it, although we can take advantage of it, but this advantage will not be priceless. In the future, pressing down a Yingyi and getting up a rakshasa will be the same trouble. Moreover, Rakshasa and we are bordering, it is really too powerful, and Northern Xinjiang and Central Asia have to invest a lot of financial and material resources, and in the long run, it may not be beneficial. ”

The relationship between Da Ming and Rakshasa is actually quite delicate. Let's say it's friends, watch out for each other, all kinds of caution, there is a place left on the border of northern Xinjiang that is not developed, and there is a large golden buffer country in Central Asia.

Let's say that they are enemies, since the fight between King Zhuge Wuzhong and the Rakshasas, there has been no conflict between the two countries for more than a hundred years - the two families are back to back, with a large amount of gold in between, and then they don't look back, obviously very relieved.

After the Napoleonic Wars, because of the Ming Dynasty's help to the Rakshasas, the relationship between the two countries warmed up rapidly, and now the wives and children of Zhuge Weidao are lining up on the Rakshasa royal family tree (the team that inherited the Tsar). But...... Regarding the western section of the Central Asian Railway, Nicholas I was full of promises and did not start construction.

"Nephew Daozi, do you mean to ignore Nikolai?" Zhuge Yougang's brother, the elderly navy Zhuge Youxin shook his feather fan, frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that the British will pull the Rakshasa over and let them enter Central Asia to trouble us?" ”

"Uncle," Zhuge said with a smile, "I didn't mean that, we still have to help with this favor...... Let's not help, he suffered a big loss from the Ottomans when he turned around, and he really threw himself into Yingyi, and we are also in trouble. But he can't help too much, Constantinople has to fight by himself.

Didn't he ask for a 155-mm cannon? Just arrange it for him, and if it's not enough, send him a batch of heavy howitzers of 240 mm and 280 mm caliber, and as many shells as possible. ”

Of course, these artillery and cannonballs given by Zhuge Weidao can be used to bombard the positions of the Turkish army, but that is not the Ming Dynasty doing his best to help the Rakshasa ...... If the Ming Dynasty wants to exert all its strength, it only needs to push Ali Pasha to raise troops, and the Turkish Empire will not be stable.

The hearts of the people are broken, and Constantinople will not be able to hold it no matter what!

But the Zhuge family will not help so much, let alone push Ali Pasha, who they have befriended for many years, to take risks for the rakshasas.

"What about the money?" The former "big housekeeper" of the Zhuge family, and now Zhuge Weijia, who has become the head of the household department, asked, "The money for buying the ship last time was still offset by Baku oil, if it wasn't for the military division to find the French to take over, I don't know how to do this deal?" ”

"This is easy to do," Zhuge Weidao said, "Didn't we sell him five hero ships before?" One has already been delivered, two more are going to be delivered as soon as I go out this time, and the remaining two are currently being outfitted...... We might as well ask for these two boats ourselves, and then exchange the money from the Rakshasas to buy the boats for heavy artillery and cannonballs. ”

Zhuge Weiyong nodded: "I think the suggestion of the Daoist disciple is feasible...... Now that the rain is coming, we can't be too leisurely! In case Yingyi takes advantage of the opportunity of the Rakshasa trapped in the Battle of Junbao to attack us, we will have to pinch a few trump cards in our hands to rest assured. He paused, and then said to Zhuge Weidao, "Daozi, you have to be careful when you go to the Persian Gulf this time...... If you really want to start early, I'm afraid that the fleet you lead will be in trouble when it crosses the Strait of Malacca. ”

"Brother Fifty-One, don't worry!" Zhuge Weidao said with a smile, "There is nothing wrong this time, after all, there are two hero-level followers!" And Yingyi would not have thought that we would send such a large fleet...... I wonder they thought we were going to attack India! ”

Zhuge Weiyong laughed: "That's right, who would have thought that there would be a ...... on the other side of the Persian Gulf." There is a treasure! ”

Hearing "There is a treasure", all the Zhuge who can pinch and calculate laughed.

If this "treasure" is obtained, the future Zhuge family will have to replace the scarf with the "richest cloth in the world".
