Chapter 330 Chapter 920 The "First Cannon" On the Tianzhuyang Chessboard Opening

Chapter 330 Chapter 9.20 The "first shot" on the chessboard of Tianzhu Ocean Opening

The European war is in full swing, in Tianzhu Ocean, Sinhalese. (The island south of the Tianzhu Peninsula is also called Ceylon)

In October 2287, Wei Keng landed here from the plateau on a Qinglong floating battleship, and a large number of transport and supply ships on the sea also arrived at the island.

The frontier military base is being deployed here. The residents of Sinhalese warmly welcomed the generals sent by Shenzhou.

This small island is a Buddhist country, which is recorded as the Lion Country in the Great Tang Records of the Western Regions.

After the Age of Exploration, Shenzhou established a frontier base here. The local belief is mainly Buddhism. Later, after the crew members intermarried with the locals, Chinese culture was also integrated here. It is also the most important vassal state of Shenzhou in the Tianzhu Ocean region.

As for the garrison of the Celestial Empire, the locals held a grand street welcome.

The representatives of the local Sinhalese have all learned Chinese, and even come from local families with Chinese ancestry. The power of China here has been subtly maintained for dozens of generations.

[Western ships were empty-handed, so they first went to Africa and South Asia to plunder, and then went to East Asia with gold and silver to purchase. Before the Industrial Revolution, the East had always been a commodity exporter, which often brought prosperity. ]

Buddhist pagodas are popular in the region, and they were all built with funds from Chinese believers. East Asian skilled craftsmen and the local Buddhist culture have created a famous religious holy place in the entire South Asian region.

Of course, the prevalence of Buddhism is not enough for martial virtue. In modern times, the Sinhalese king was very troubled by Arab pirates, and later European pirates.

Therefore, China's maritime garrisons have built a security barrier for the local area since the Age of Exploration.

After arriving in the area, Wei Keng attended the banquet.

Wei Keng: We must respect local customs and culture here. There is no need for social transformation.

The current trend of social progress in China is based on the need for large social groups to develop productivity. Master Wei will not be dogmatic and then mess around with the island country.

According to the information from the multidimensional plane, the social system is not absolutely linked to technology, but is related to the environment and the number of people.

For example, in some cosmic war planes, the most effective system for humans in spacecraft is the feudal system.

There are no conditions for developing productivity in the spacecraft. Maintaining social order and stability and supporting the crew to reach their destination are the core missions.

Therefore, in the sub-marginal areas of the South Asian continent, there are no conditions for making vigorous changes. Its only direction is to follow a good big brother, undertake technological progress, and connect cultures with each other, so as not to be left too far behind by mainstream civilization.

~

After appeasing the local representatives, Wei Keng remembered his mission this time.

In order to guard the gate of the Tianzhu Ocean region, the Sinhalese Navy military facilities began to be rebuilt in a planned manner.

First of all, as the official chess player in the Tianzhu Ocean region at present, before investing military forces, you must think about what the strategic purpose is? All the layouts that follow are based on the principle of strategic interests.

In the headquarters, Wei Keng turned on the communicator and called all the major-level officers to the virtual conference room to discuss the current strategy of Shenzhou in the Tianzhu Ocean:

Absolute sea control in the Tianzhu Ocean? No, no, this range is too large. The Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Malacca Strait, and the entrance to the Southern Ocean are very large. Moreover, they are thousands of kilometers apart, and it is impossible for Shenzhou’s navy to block every hole.

And if you insist on blocking one hole, there is a risk that the other hole will be broken through. The cost of dominating the Indian Ocean is too high.

Wei Keng narrated to the captains and air base commanders: "So Shenzhou's maritime strategy in this area is defensive. Defense is to ensure the safety of our marine mining and the smooth passage of waterways."

After that, Wei Keng drew three circles in the Tianzhu area with Tianzhu as the center.

The first circle is the 500-kilometer coastline of the Tianzhu subcontinent. A large number of light frigates will patrol and defend here.

The second circle is extended to one thousand kilometers. Within this circle, the sea control should be established. A complete anti-submarine sonar network and air cruise system should be established.

As for the third circle, it is extended to two thousand kilometers. This is the deep blue cruise circle. If a large fleet fights, it will resist the enemy in this circle. In peacetime, it will cruise in this circle.

In the outer circle, only hydrographic detection ships are deployed.

If the enemy launches a sneak attack, whether it is the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, or the Southern Ocean, it will be a long journey alone. This kind of march must have a combat goal.

As long as Shenzhou's Tianzhuyang Fleet does not give the enemy fleet the opportunity to successfully achieve its offensive goals, it can achieve its strategic goals without fighting.

...

Wei Keng knocked on the blackboard and summarized the key points to his colleagues below: "As for the forces of the foreign navy, it is normal for them to pass through the Tianzhu Ocean, and we need to get used to it.

Our navy insists on not firing the first shot in the public area of ​​the Tianzhu Ocean, but we must ensure that we have the ability to defeat any "passing by" force.

We welcome all parties to jointly maintain the security order in the Tianzhu Ocean region, but our maritime interests here cannot be damaged in the slightest. If the enemy dares to hurt me, we must cut off one of its arms."

With such strategic deployment. In 2288, Shenzhou's strategic construction of logistics in the Tianzhu Ocean region began.

First, in offshore areas, such as the Arabian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal, Shenzhou Plateau area took over public facilities.

One after another, sea pile power stations began to be built. Thirty percent of the power station's electricity is used to send to low-Earth orbit satellites to maintain radar searches of the area.

The remaining electricity is transmitted to the surrounding islands, used to electrolyze hydrogen and then reduce carbon dioxide to methane through catalysts, and then sent to South Asia and West Asia through gas pipelines. Such civilian energy stations can also provide supplies for the maritime fleets of various forces in the region on a daily basis. And mastering this factor is better than maintaining a large fleet several times larger.

The existing Tianzhuyang Fleet of Shenzhou uses these energy stations as a base to maintain sustained navigation.

As for foreign forces, who will fire the first shot at Shenzhou's energy station? ——Then carry out the retaliatory action according to the plan.

~

From the perspective of later history, starting from the 2288th year of the Qin Tongli calendar, Shenzhou implemented a clear and straightforward strategy in Tianzhuyang, which made Western Shenzhou almost impregnable in the next series of crises.

Such a layout made the Shengyang Navy, which was ready to take risks in 88 years, unable to start in the face of the fully alert Shenzhou Tianzhuyang Fleet. The Shengyang people, who always gamble, suddenly found that Wei had directly closed the betting odds!

Shenzhou suddenly had tens of thousands of target points in the Tianzhu Ocean area, and the Shengyang fleet came over. Even if the fleet size reached one million tons, it would only be four or five hundred tactical nodes for Shenzhou.

Although the Shengyang fleet can be mobile, Shenzhou's space satellites can intensively sweep the area, and it is impossible to continue to remain hidden.

Well, in fact, the Disha system has a stronger ability to identify the sea fleet.

Bian Que said: "Eldest brother sees the spirit when he is sick. He has not eliminated it before it has a shape, so the name does not come out of the family."

It is precisely because Wei Keng's series of strategic deployments in the Tianzhu Ocean did not encounter any enemies in two years, so the mainstream scholars of the entire Shenzhou did not realize how smart "Wei Xin" was.

Even some contemporary commentators in the eastern part of Shenzhou made slightly derogatory comments: The construction of a series of offshore energy stations is the economic cooperation between the military commander and the plateau region. In fact, the Sinhalese commander knew that he was not good at fighting, so he had no desire to fight.
