Chapter 892
Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Sima Xuan had a plan in mind. "Everyone, if we go to war directly with the Shang Dynasty, of course it will be an act of death.
But what if we take the initiative to make an appointment?
In the past, when the relations between countries were relatively harmonious and no one wanted to start a war, each country would draw out an elite force to start a competition at the agreed time and place. In this way, conflicts between countries can be resolved.
Now, we can learn from this method and make an appointment with the Shang Dynasty!
Let's see if the Shang Dynasty has the guts to accept our challenge! "
After everyone listened, their eyes lit up immediately.
Yes, if there is a direct war, Bian's navy will not dare to go to sea even if it is ten times stronger.
But what about a fight? For the sake of face and political considerations, the Shang Dynasty would definitely not refuse! At that time, it is entirely possible for everyone to agree on warships with similar numbers and displacements to start a "technical exchange".
And this is also the only chance for Bian Guo to defeat the Shang Dynasty at sea.
To put it bluntly, it is a "fair final". This idea immediately won the approval of the Bian people.
"I'll go and contact Shang Dynasty." Sima Xuan took the initiative to undertake this task. Immediately, he picked up the latest mobile phone and directly contacted Yan Ze'an, the Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty. conveyed this meaning.
Yan Ze'an received the message and only asked Sima Xuan to wait for a while. It's too late today, we'll discuss it tomorrow.
It was said that it would be discussed tomorrow, but Yan Ze'an immediately informed Xia Qingqing of this information, and at the same time discussed it with Li Yuanming and Yan Ze'an.
"This matter cannot be agreed!" Li Yuanming immediately objected. "First of all, we cannot disrupt the rhythm; all war rhythms should follow our plan. We need to consider the soldiers on the battlefield and proceed from the national interests of the Shang Dynasty.
Moreover, we are now in a state of war, and that kind of competition-style combat is not suitable for the current state of war.
Mercy cannot be given to the enemy! "
Xu Ren didn't speak, but nodded. Everyone could tell at a glance what Bian Guo was planning.
Yan Ze'an didn't quite agree. But now it depends on Xia Qingqing's choice. After all, the power of the Shang Dynasty is now in Xia Qingqing's hands.
But it was already night, and Xia Qingqing was paying attention to the situation in Tianwaitian. Things here can only wait until tomorrow morning.
At this time, Xia Qingqing was in contact with Gu Yue Yuhua from Tianwaitian.
"Master Taixuan has already checked, and my husband is not in great danger. The soul and primordial spirit have been agitated to a certain extent, but under the conditioning of Master Taixuan and the essence of Maro Aguli, it can be repaired within a month at most. "
After hearing this, Xia Qingqing finally let go of a big stone in her heart. Quite happily, he asked: "The husband will be able to return after a month?"
Although Xia Qingqing had already decided to canonize Li Nuo as the crown prince in a month's time; but that was a choice without a choice. If possible, Xia Qingqing hoped that Li Xian would come back.
However, Gu Yue Yuhua's next words disappointed Xia Qingqing. "Master Taixuan also said that the soul and primordial spirit are a mysterious realm, and even Master Taixuan cannot guarantee that your husband will be awake.
It is certain that the soul and primordial spirit can be repaired. But whether the husband can wake up depends on the actual situation.
On the one hand, it depends on whether the husband suffered other injuries at the time, and on the other hand, it also depends on the will of the husband. "
After hearing this, Xia Qingqing felt a little gloomy in her heart. In the past few days, Xia Qingqing has been under heavy pressure and can't breathe. On the one hand, we must take care of the Shang Dynasty, and on the other hand, we must also care about the family. Xia Qingqing was overwhelmed by many things.
Since Li Xian was assassinated, the economic and scientific development of the Shang Dynasty began to be affected to a certain extent; especially scientific research has stagnated.
In the past, although Li Xian didn't take much action, at least at critical times, Li Xian could cheat and point out the direction of the development and application of science and technology. In terms of economy, Li Xian made adjustments many times, which prevented the Shang Dynasty from slipping into the economic vortex countless times.
The economy of the Shang Dynasty developed too fast, and there were always various problems. How to deal with these problems, Xia Qingqing and others are not completely clear. But Li Xian understands that the economy of the Shang Dynasty can develop healthily and rapidly through the state's control of the economy.
But now, all of this has become a problem.
Xia Qingqing urgently needs Li Xian to come back. At this time, the Shang Dynasty was like a wild horse racing wildly, while Xia Qingqing was like a weak woman, difficult to control at all.
Yan Ze'an and others can help, but everyone doesn't know which direction the wild horse should go and how to deal with obstacles.
Now, the only thing Xia Qingqing, Yan Ze'an, Li Yuanming, Xu Ren and others can do is to pass on domestic problems, crises, conflicts, etc. through external wars.
If it is okay for a short time, but for a long time, it is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.
Holding the most excellent mobile phone of the Shang Dynasty, Xia Qingqing sat on the chair a little tiredly.
Next to him, Li Nuo grabbed Xia Qingqing's clothes and was learning to walk.
Suddenly, at this moment, Gu Yue Yuhua's shrill and high-pitched voice came, "My husband moved his finger just now... Master Taixuan said that my husband may wake up early!"
Xia Qingqing suddenly regained her spirits, and a bright light flashed in her eyes. "Thank you sister."
"I'm taking care of my husband, I'll let you know if there's anything to do." Gu Yue Yuhua hastily ended the call.
Xia Qingqing looked at the phone for a long time without saying a word, and finally showed a bitter smile after a while. Then he squatted down gently, and pulled Li Nuo to learn to walk in the room.
Early the next morning, at the court meeting of the Shang Dynasty, Xia Qingqing resolutely rejected the 'duel' proposed by Bian Guo. The reason is very good: the kindness of the Shang Dynasty will not be given to the enemy!
Since he is an enemy, he must fully bear the wrath of the Shang Dynasty!
But if you just simply refuse, you will feel a little frustrated, and your image will not be very good, and it will not be conducive to passing on the internal crisis of the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, Xia Qingqing immediately proposed a different kind of engagement:
Our Shang Dynasty did not use the power of the sea people, and the two sides completely relied on the power of the navy to compete on the sea. The number of warships dispatched by the two sides, the direction, location, etc., are not discussed.
In other words, except that the Shang Dynasty did not use the power of the Sea Clan, the rest was a real naval battle without any restrictions or constraints. At the same time, the Shang Dynasty promised not to use the Sea Clan as a means of surveillance.
Xia Qingqing made a suggestion, and Xu Ren and the others enriched and optimized the suggestion. He sent this condition to Bian Guo. At the same time, it was also sent to the newspaper office of the Shang Dynasty and published on the Internet at the same time.
At the same time, there was news that Fu Minghui was going to get engaged.
…………
Bian Guo waited all night, and finally got a reply from the Shang Dynasty.
Seeing Shang Dynasty's reply, everyone in Bian State became a little dignified. Things did not go according to Bian Guo's plan. Yes, Bian State had its own calculations, and the Shang Dynasty also had its own calculations. And to be honest, the Shang Dynasty is willing to give Bian a relatively fair decisive battle environment, which is already very good.
"Accepted!" Ming Wang Chao Xu of Shangdu gritted his teeth and agreed, "At least, we have a chance to fight, which is already good.
As long as there is no interference from the Sea Clan, we still have a chance to win.
Also, I think we can take advantage of the vastness of the sea and send several warships to attack the ports of the Shang Dynasty, etc., and even attack the passing merchant ships of the Shang Dynasty. Anyway, it is enough for us to show our strength. "
After discussing for a while, everyone agreed to the request of the Shang Dynasty. From now on, everyone will officially enter the sea battle link.
Bian's navy was purchased from the Shang Dynasty—but it was refitted later, and some were manufactured by itself. For the current Bian State, the production of ordinary warships is sufficient. In addition, the marine power system of the Shang Dynasty was also sold publicly.
30,000 tons of battleships, two. The power system of the Shang Dynasty is used, and it is designed and produced by itself.
There are a total of 25 10,000-ton frigates, including two purchased from the Shang Dynasty.
There are also 5,000-ton destroyers, a total of 200 ships! Almost all of them are self-produced.
257 warships, and nearly 100,000 navies. This is the power of Bian, a very powerful force. Even all the warships did not hesitate to add formations, etc., so that the speed of the warships can reach 350 kilometers per hour!
If you don't compare it with the Shang Dynasty, Bian State can be called a naval power now. But... I'm sorry, the Shang Dynasty is Bian's neighbor!
Bian Guo knew his weakness. Big ships are definitely not comparable to the Shang Dynasty. But small boats also have the advantages of small boats: faster, more concealed, and less demanding.
The naval commander of the Bian State was Cheng Yunbo, the former general of the Jin State—Cheng Liqiu, the son of Cheng Yunbo, was the naval commander of the Jin State, but died in the war with the original Liu State. But in the war between Jin State and Liu State, the Shang Dynasty kept secret hands.
Therefore, Cheng Yunbo felt that half of the responsibility for his son's death in battle should be attributed to the Shang Dynasty. Now that the Shang Dynasty has annexed Liu Guo, all hatred must be attributed to the Shang Dynasty.
The power of hatred is great. With the support of hatred, Cheng Yunbo has become the best naval commander in Bian country.
In addition, Bian Guo's navy deputy commanders include Cao Bin and Qiao Pengfei.
Cao Bin was the Yicheng Jiedu envoy of the Bian State at the beginning, close to the sea and Ziyan County, the closest to the Shang Dynasty, and the first one to feel the power of the Shang Dynasty navy—the Shang Dynasty’s military exercises against Ziyan County , Cao Bin could even hear the sound of the cannon clearly.
Now Cao Bin is the Eastern King of the Bian Kingdom, but he is also the most proficient in naval warfare among the kings of the Bian Kingdom.
And Qiao Pengfei, who used to be the commander of Bian Guo's Nascent Soul Stage, was responsible for master fighting. Later, when I arrived in the Sima Empire, after realizing the power of arms, I also immersed myself in research. Today, there are good achievements in naval battles and aircraft battles (air battles). He is also proficient in fighting between masters.
The three of them can almost be said to be the ones who know the most about naval warfare in Bian. The addition of Qiao Pengfei increased the application of reconnaissance aircraft.
After simple but serious military planning, the three immediately led the fleet to set off; it was noon at this time. From this moment on, the naval battle between the two countries has begun.
…………
Almost at the same time, at the port of the Shang Dynasty, an aircraft carrier formation also set off. The team was led by Gao Shirong, vice-marshal of the Shang Dynasty Navy.
An aircraft carrier formation, including a 120,000-ton aircraft carrier. This aircraft carrier is a bit old, and it was the first aircraft carrier in the Shang Dynasty; however, it has undergone many modifications, and it is not weak. At least, the maximum speed has reached the limit of 380 kilometers.
There are also five 30,000-ton battleships. This battleship is the newest. Compared with the battleships of the past, the armor and other parts were replaced with special materials, the strength increased a lot, and the thickness decreased a lot. Today's battleships are faster, more agile, and more powerful.
Or, instead of calling it a battleship, it should be called a cruiser. Its speed has exceeded 400 kilometers.
There are also 15 newest 10,000-ton frigates and 30 5,000-ton destroyers. The speed reached 420 kilometers.
In addition, 50 patrol ships of only 2,000 tons have been added to the formation. But the speed of these ships is as high as 450 kilometers!
The technological development of the Shang Dynasty was so fast that it had already far surpassed Bian Guo's imagination. However, 450 kilometers per hour is still a bit slow for a cultivator. Here in Xianyu, in naval battles, speed alone cannot gain an absolute advantage.
However, this aircraft carrier formation is not accompanied by an aerospace carrier, but has 120 of the latest aircraft. It is the peak improved version of the second generation of Magic Eagle. And 30 combat fighters. All of these aircraft can break seven times the speed of sound! This speed is enough to catch up with the flying speed of ordinary Mahayana masters in a straight line (only for straight-line pursuit).
There are more than 50,000 people in the entire fleet. Computer control technology has been popularized in warships; and a few places have begun to experiment with intelligent program control.
Simply put, primary computer control is rigid; intelligent control is flexible and can respond automatically.
The fleet of the Shang Dynasty was marching southward, and at some point in the sea, there were many strange heads watching - the Sea Clan was also curious.
The most curious ones are probably Ao Han, the little guy, and Bai Xiaoling, the white whale. Oh, a group of dolphins and the like gathered around Bai Xiaoling, playing.
On the surface of the sea farther away, the Dragon Prince Ao Zhen and the Second Prince Ao Guang of the East Sea of Yingzhou also came out of the water to watch.
In addition, there are envoys from many countries, etc., who are also observing at high altitude.
This was the first official naval battle of the Shang Dynasty. Although there were naval battles in the past in the Shang Dynasty, the scale was extremely small. Aircraft carrier formations have also been used before, but most of them fired on land. There are too few and too few battles between warships and warships at sea.
Now, the warships of the Shang Dynasty are about to fight Bian Guo, and it will be a decisive battle without any restrictions. Everyone is curious-what tactics will the Shang Dynasty adopt?
As the first to develop warships and invent giant ship cannons, will the Shang Dynasty have amazing tactics?
There were even some daring people, hired merchants, followed some clippers, and followed them out to sea to watch. Even if the Shang Dynasty has stated that there is no guarantee for safety at sea, these people don't care.
On the aircraft carrier, the fleet commander Gao Shirong said to the people around him: "This naval battle is of great significance. Similarly, it will also be under great pressure.
Bian State is not a weak country. Reconnaissance by our intelligence system. Bian State has at least 200 combat-capable warships, and its technical level is almost equal to that of Yue State, far exceeding that of other countries.
Also, Bian Guo itself is brave and good at fighting. I don't want us to win, but lose too many brothers. Do you understand? "
Many large and small generals/brain tanks/captains responded in unison: "Understood."
Gao Shirong nodded solemnly: 'Everyone, let's discuss and formulate detailed tactics. If you have any ideas, please speak freely. '
A captain immediately said: "Commander, what I'm most worried about is that the sea is too wide. Bian Guo may completely disperse the fleet, and may even go around the distance and go north to sneak attack on our port."
Another captain said: "Commander, what I'm most worried about is that Bian Guo scattered his fleet in the sea like stars, hiding in the waves in twos and threes, and attacking us with sneak attacks and ambushes.
The sea is too vast, and there is a lot of water vapor, so the line of sight is poor. If the distance is too far, it is easy to use the formation method to hide. "
Another captain said: "Commander, Bian Guo has a brave personality. I am most worried that Bian Guoning will die and launch a death charge. Of course we can destroy the enemy in this way, but if we encounter this situation, we will also pay a huge price. "
Everyone discussed one after another, and every opinion was very precious, and many even pointed directly at Bian Guo's tactics.
Gao Shirong looked at the crowd, joy flashed in his eyes. This is the soldier of the Shang Dynasty. As the commander in chief, he is naturally very happy to have such a general under his command.
After everyone expressed their opinions, Gao Shirong began to discuss with everyone, and finally finalized a series of strategies. At the same time, these strategies also give full play to the advantages of the aircraft carrier formation.
