Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 2140: Radical Chen Lifu
After receiving Chen Lifu's account, Li Xuan was a little surprised.
What's the matter? Why did Chen Lifu suddenly become so radical? You must know that Chen Lifu had always maintained a conservative attitude towards expansion.
This is also the attitude of many civil servants, that is, foreign expansion and wars cost money, and it costs a lot of money.
If it's just fighting, it's actually nothing. It's a big deal. If you put in a few hundred million, it will be defeated if you bite your teeth. As for spending money, you can't fight it, they have never considered this.
As far as the strength of the Tang Empire is now, it is an easy problem to fight a native, at least there will be no problems in the military.
Over the years, the Imperial Army has repeatedly said that if it really wants to attack the European region, give the Army half a year to go directly to the English Channel.
And this half-year is not the time for fighting, but the time for marching. As for the military resistance of the indigenous people, it seems that the army does not exist at all.
After all, the current Datang Army is already on a different level from the indigenous army. The Datang Army is now equipped with all rear-loaded rifled weapons.
The first-line regular field army, including the Marine Corps, has been fully replaced with the Joint Type II rifle, and the Joint Type II rifle is an 8mm bullet with an all-metal smokeless propellant, and has a magazine, which can be loaded when loading. Press the bullet clip in advance, and use the double clip mode, which can load ten bullets at one time.
And it adopts a more convenient and fast rear end lock, which is very convenient to load, and skilled shooters can maintain a very high rate of fire.
In addition, the various craftsmanship of the gun has been greatly improved, with high precision, high effective range, and good lifespan. It also takes into account relatively good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and severe cold.
Otherwise, this rifle would not have become a new generation of general-purpose rifles for the Tang Empire.
With the large-scale service of the United Type 2 rifle, the single-shot rifle of the United Type 1 rifle in the early years has been completely eliminated, and some models that can fire metal bullets are left behind. Second-line, equip the militia or simply seal it up.
The urgency is that relying on the powerful firepower of the United Type II rifle, the Datang Army is enough to sweep the world.
No way, who made the weapons of the natives of all countries still in the era of muskets? Whether it is Tatars or Europeans, their main rifles are still flintlock guns, and a few are equipped with flash caps. , and the interesting thing is that most of the guns they equipped were purchased from Datang...
In addition to the firepower advantage of a light weapon such as a rifle, not to mention that the Datang Army and Navy also have a more important weapon, that is, the rifled artillery.
A large number of rear-loaded rifled artillery is the foundation of the Datang Army and Navy's global foothold!
At present, the army and navy are fully equipped with rear-loaded rifled guns, and this rear-loaded rifled gun has been developed for at least two generations, from the first generation in Xuanping's 1930s to the second in Xuanping's forty years later. The performance of this rear-mounted rifled gun is also getting higher and higher.
At the same time, with the help of artillery shooting balloons, the effective range of the Datang Army to fixed targets can be more than ten kilometers.
The Army's new-generation 120mm cannon and 150mm cannon both have an effective range of more than ten kilometers.
The accurate and effective range of ten kilometers is almost insurmountable for the indigenous people who are still in the era of muskets.
Once they fight with the Datang Army, they may not even see the Datang Army, and they are already bombed to slag.
The Datang Army has such a huge advantage, which makes them almost able to form a one-sided absolute advantage when facing the indigenous people.
Therefore, there is no military problem in attacking the European region.
The problem is other aspects, such as money!
Datang's army and navy's equipment is advanced, but wars are more expensive than ever, and a casual war would cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Another problem is the problem of localization. As we all know, the Tang people do not like to mix with the indigenous people. If this is in Europe, it will be easy to overthrow the Tatars or other local nobles, but how to deal with the numbers Tens of millions of local indigenous people?
Accept them and make them part of the Empire?
The minister who dares to say this is estimated that he will be stoned to death by the angry Tang people immediately!
If you don’t accept it, and you can’t take extreme measures, then there are not many feasible ways. In recent years, the empire has found a feasible way, and that is to immigrate them to Africa…
But to be honest, this is costly and troublesome.
It's okay to relocate a few small countries and hundreds of millions of people, but tens of millions of people, don't dream, you can't waste money like this.
These problems are the reason why Datang has been slow to enter Europe.
It can only be constantly adopting roundabout strategies, such as supporting the Tatars to move westward, and after the Tatars move westward, accepting large tracts of empty Eastern European territory from the Tatars.
In this regard, Chen Lifu also said in the book that this method is an excellent and effective method under the current situation. If the empire can increase its support for the Tartars and let the Tartars accelerate westward, then in a short time , the empire will be able to acquire a large number of uninhabited European territories to feed more imperial subjects.
At the same time, this should not only be done in Europe, but also in regions such as India and West Asia.
For example, in the Ottoman Kingdom, the Tatars can also go south, or support the Persians, or the Pashas inside the Ottomans, let them go to war, and exchange military supplies and materials with the empire in unmanned territory.
There are also hundreds of kingdoms and tribes fighting in India. It seems lively and the scene is not small, but it has been tossing and turning. It has been more than ten years. The Indian peninsula is still like a bird, so it is necessary to speed up the Indian side. localization process.
In this case, Chen Lifu's strategy is to support limited military strikes by his own side, support some indigenous people, and exchange weapons for unmanned territory.
To this end, Chen Lifu is optimistic that within three years, the empire will be able to initially complete the localization of most of the European regions, and the progress of other India and West Asia regions should be similarly rapid.
At the same time, during this period, large-scale construction of the Eastern European Railway, the West Asian Railway, the Indian Railway, etc., connected the above-mentioned areas with railway lines to support subsequent immigration.
Adopt the method of gradually advancing immigration and consolidating the victory~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and finally complete the localization work except for Central Africa.
After reading Chen Lifu's excerpt, Lin Ziran did not reply immediately, but chose to stay in the middle and not send it.
This means that Chen Lifu's book has initially moved Lin Ziran.
As a result, Chen Lifu followed up with a second excerpt. This time, he continued to advocate global localization in the fields of industrial and commercial economy, especially the food index and people's happiness.
From economic and cultural aspects, it once again affirms the necessity of global localization!
Li Xuan also knew what Chen Lifu said, and even he agreed with it, otherwise he would not have been left behind.
Li Xuan has already decided on the matter of unifying the world, but the policies promoted in different periods are different, but the ultimate goal has never changed.
And now, it's time for the Empire to enter a whole new phase!
