C1246 Evening

Xiang Ying was very sensitive, he was good at observing words and expressions, why did the Prime Minister become silent the moment he saw the Taiwan Island? Why did they keep mentioning the imperial court's ban on Taiwan? Could it be that this island was hiding some secret of the Prime Minister?

It's possible! With such a large island and this place being overlooked by the Qing Dynasty, it was impossible for the Prime Minister to not have any plans. Perhaps in the Taiwan Island right now, there are brothers secretly forming a force. It's really possible...

Xiang Ying thought a little too much. In fact, Xiao Letian had never invested too much in Taiwan Island, who had only supported a large number of ascetic monks and Taoists, and spread the teachings of Buddhism in the mountains.

In the west side of the Taiwan Island, there were a few sub-names of the Letian Firm in the Han Chinese area. They would do a bit of business to gather information, but they really did not have any other plans.

It was not because Xiao Letian did not care about Taiwan, but over time, things like geopolitics would have different performances. The Taiwan Island had gradually become the focus of geopolitics around the world, and that was because of the American First Island's blockade of China.

The reason for his unique political position was because he just happened to be in time for that special period in history. In the sail battleship era, the area under the control of the navy was extremely narrow. Although the Royal Navy was unrivalled, it could only be said to be those counties that could control the ocean.

Until the introduction of the steam power warships and their crossing of the ocean, the Navy's control range started to expand from the line to the surface. With the addition of the increase in the range of the cannons as well as the increase in their endurance, the Navy gradually became the sharp weapon of the control area.

As for the concept of the first island chain, it had to be a military theory that appeared gradually after the invention of the internal combustion engine, the great development of aviation technology, and the mothership becoming the main character of the battlefield.

A aircraft carrier battle group could attack a naval aviation group up to a radius of 800 or even 1000 kilometers just by swinging it into the ocean. Only when the technology had developed to such an extent could the aircraft carrier group create the so-called first island chain.

What exactly is the First Island Chain? Actually, it was the radius of attack that the land-based aviation personnel on the island could cover. They would then draw a circle, and then draw a circle on the map at the air force airport on the next island. Then, they would draw a circle one by one, connecting and connecting with each other, finally forming a necklace, which was the chain of islands.

Any enemy who passed through these circles would suffer a merciless blow. The function of the aircraft carrier was to act as a bridge between the airports that were too far away, connecting the necklaces with the battle radius of the aircraft carrier.

Of course, as the war changed, the aircraft carrier could also change its position at any time, allowing the war chain to attack and defend.

The driving force behind the advancement of mankind was actually the development of science and technology. New technologies brought new weapons, new weapons brought new ideas of war, and new ideas of war brought new geopolitical theories.

Everything should be done step by step. Right now, the means of humans controlling the ocean was still in the era of the transition from a Sail battleship to a pure steam power warship. All of the existing countries' naval strength could not stop the entire ocean.

That's why the Chinese navy has the chance to run wild across the ocean, to fight me if they can, to run if they can't, and there are so many uninhabited islands in the Pacific right now.

If Guam, Hawaii, Midway Island, the South Atlantic Islands, and Australia were to have a Chinese naval base in the future, then the Taiwan Island would naturally become a Chinese island in the lake.

Thinking about that, Xiao Letian smiled as he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, "It's almost 6, the sky will be completely dark soon, we should prepare to return north …" "Let's take a look at this treasured island again in the future when we have the chance!"

The sun was setting in the west, the ocean was shrouded in darkness, the sky was filled with stars, the lights of the Russia warships on the sea surface were getting smaller and smaller, it seemed like Venia had already brought his team to the north.

Looking at the retreating back of the enemy, Xiao Letian could not help but exhale deeply, "All that needs to be done has been done, all of my plans have been used up, everything will depend on fate!"

The Main fleet that EdStefanski was leading was currently riding on the waves of the East Sea. This time, they learned their lesson and did not dare to go too close to the coastline. After passing through the Minjiang Estuary, the fleet started to deviate towards the northeast.

Almost all the battleships were filled with the angry shouts of the soldiers. All the officers began to count the casualties of the various units. Whenever a familiar name was recorded in a book, the other soldiers would know that he had gone to see God.

How could the people of the battle endure such humiliation? The ill-tempered soldiers smashed the lunchboxes in their hands with a bang, scattering the mashed potatoes and stewed meat all over the ground.

"Shame!" The warriors of the Tsar were actually beaten up so badly by the Qing Guo Nu s that they couldn't even fight back. That is simply disgraceful! "

"Right, this is too embarrassing. How exactly did those pigs with brains full of fat lead the way?" And how did your navy fight? "

The naval soldiers on the other side were furious when they heard this. They were already angry after losing the war, so how could they stand up to the scolding of the soldiers? They immediately became furious.

"Bullshit!" "You are the pigs! We will fight to the death and you will just stay at the back to watch the show! Those who died were all our naval brothers and you still have the face to scold us?"

"Big brainless idiot, do you know what is going on with naval warfare? "You probably can't even read a few words …"

The Navy had always been more literate than the Army, and insulting the Army with its IQ had always provoked the wrath of the Army.

"Beat him up! Everyone attack together! "Beat him to death …"

Atop the St. Peter, a group of Captain s were having an emergency military meeting. Just when the atmosphere was at its most tense, the sound of a fight suddenly came over.

The commander waved his hand: "Let the gendarmes handle this. We don't need to worry about such small matters! "Today, I will not punish any of those who participated in the fight. After the battle begins, prepare a group for me to fight in the first combat sequence. I will have them fight until …"

The aide-de-camp led the way out of command cabin, and very quickly there were berating voices coming from behind the fleet, followed by warning gunshots, the chaos finally subsided.

EdStefanski took a sip of the strong coffee, "Did you see that? The morale of the troops has started to fluctuate. The youngsters' moods are unstable. Right now, I just want to ask everyone, are we still going to carry out our future plans? We are still not going to fight that Hidden Gold Island! "
