"That's so, but will the Chinese play the cards the way you expect?" Mycenae didn't even look at the staff officer, but just dotted on the map to himself, "The intelligence department has mentioned many times that the Chinese have a magical ability to sense fleets at long distances, and they have machinery capable of attacking the ground and sea from the air. Didn't you see the situation when Liu Xiang's fleet attacked Dongfang Harbor last time? ”

"But Liu Xiang's fleet is all small boats, and we can destroy twenty of those junk ships." Someone objected, "That is, it is not unusual to defeat Liu Xiang's fleet, and we can easily win." ”

"Yes, we can win easily, but we can be like the Chinese," Mycenae dug on his body, turned out a small notebook and threw it on the table, "can we win without even a single wounded?" Their ships did not even receive a single shell, and the arsonist ships of Liu Xiang's fleet were sunk one after another before they could even get close. Do you remember the damage we were caused by the scrapped destroyer captured from Liu Xiang's fleet in the last naval battle? There are still three capital ships still under overhaul, one of which has been beached outside the port of Wenshan, and thousands of sailors have died in that battle. Without this battle, the Chinese may not dare to go out of the port directly to fight, but with this battle, they are full of confidence in their weapons, and with the kind of flying machinery in the sky, even if they are eventually pressed back into the port by our navy, our fleet losses will be unbearable. ”

"I now understand what Miro meant when he said that if you want to fight, you have to fight early," someone muttered, "yes, the longer you give the Chinese, the more terrible weapons they will be able to produce, and in the future, it may not be impossible for a ship to single-handedly pick on our entire Eastern fleet." ”

The whole room suddenly became quiet, and it took a long time before someone held back a sentence, "Don't we have a chance to turn over?" Can only let the Chinese grow stronger? ”

"If only we had a piece of land that could build our land nation." Mycenae sighed, "But for some reason, our people can't survive in Nicaea and on so many islands in the ocean. ”

Speaking of land, this is the eternal pain in the hearts of the people of Medenor, who have been adrift at sea since they were driven away from the Western Continent by the Clay Statues. Although the sea is the cradle of life, it is not a place where people can live for a long time.

At first, they went to live on the African continent, and did immigrate some people to the shore, but for some reason, the local climate was very suitable, and there were no deadly beasts, and in just three years, more than ninety percent of the immigrants died of various diseases, plus the local African natives frequently attacked their settlements, and finally had to give up the plan to settle in Africa. After leaving Africa, they could only go north to Europe and land in Spain in the Old World, but because of the frequent outbreaks of disease, their mortality rates soared, so they had to choose to continue north, along Normandy and other places, until they reached the Netherlands, which reduced some mortality rates. However, the Netherlands was not an uninhabited land, and the Germanic people were tall and aggressive, and many local Gauls led by the local Gauls often attacked the Meedno settlements in numbers of more than 1,000 people.

The Germanic attacks were no more brutal than those of Niscaea, for they were so fierce and fierce that even muskets did not have much advantage in front of them, and they had a habit of burning and looting, and once they broke through the settlements, it was often a massacre of entire villages, men, women, and children, all of whom were killed cleanly, and even the food crops planted were burned in one go. This creates a very awkward situation in which the Meedno people cannot hold the village if the size of the settlement village is not large enough; And if the scale can defend the village, then the food grown will not be able to support so many manpower. After nearly a hundred years of back and forth, the Meedno eventually abandoned their colonization plans in Europe and Africa and returned to the sea.

The situation in the Pacific Ocean is even more embarrassing for the Meedno, although there is a Yanin country that occupies such a good continent, but they spent thirty years fighting against the Medeno people, forbidding the Medeno people to colonize the Yanin continent, and also forbidding the Yanin people to intermarry with the Meedno people, until more than a hundred years ago, the two sides were not allowed to intermarry, but the colonization of the Meedno people was still prohibited. Although the Maidno people are very bullish at sea, they are not pleasing at all in front of the Yaning people, because the Yaning people have always mastered the production technology of industrial products, and the Maidno people have neither production technology nor production sites, so they can only give in to the Yaning people again and again.

There are tens of thousands of islands in the Pacific Ocean, and there are thousands of them even if you don't include those that are small in size, and the Medeno people have tried to colonize some of them, but after decades of colonization experiments, all but a few islands are not suitable for human habitation. One of the largest islands they now have is called the Chain of Fire, and the natives call it Honolululu, yes, the Hawaiian Islands of the Old World. The island group is a suitable size, with plenty of area for planting, and freshwater rivers to provide irrigation and navigation deep into the islands. The Meedno colonized the island in more than 60,000 people, more than the population of three or four maritime cities. Due to the problem of land size, the number of natives on the island is not large, in a "clean up" campaign more than 100 years ago, the local natives have basically been killed, and the women are slowly integrated into the life of the Medeno people, and now there are no native activities in the entire Hawaiian Islands, and there are settled villages and vast farmland of the Medeno people everywhere.

Honolulu is not only the "shining pearl" in the crown of Meednor, but also the only pearl, the other Pacific islands they have not been able to colonize, so the eagerness to find the next colony has become the greatest desire of the Medenor, which is why they would rather spend so much effort to oust the king of Annam, and then send the army to the territory of Annam without stopping, because their numbers have exceeded the maximum number that can be accommodated by the cities on the sea, and they must find a larger place to accommodate these extra population, Otherwise, there will be famine.

In Asian colonization, the best place to choose is of course the Wu Dynasty, but the Wu Dynasty is a huge country with a population of tens of millions, and every time they forcibly colonize the sea, they will summon tens of thousands of Wu Dynasty troops in two or three years to drive them away and have to retreat to the sea. In the case that the Wu Dynasty could not colonize, Annam became the only choice, although Annam also had tropical diseases, but it was a continent and was rarely invaded by the sea. The population of Annam was small, and it was still in the period of the war between the two Koreas, and the two sides had been fighting back and forth for many years, and there were some shortages of men in both countries, it was impossible to gather a large army to drive away the settlers of Maidno like the Wu Dynasty. The most popular thing for the people of Medno is that the grain production of Annam is amazing, even if there is a shortage of people in the north and south of Annam, there is still enough grain for export, if the Maidno people can seize this territory, it will definitely be able to meet the development needs of the Maidno people.

But who would have thought that suddenly such a group of Chinese would suddenly appear out of nowhere, do not play cards according to common sense, directly land at the border between the Wu Dynasty and Annam, and then begin to build the city according to their way, which is equivalent to taking the path that the Maidno people intend to take, leaving the Maidno people with no way out.

In the past two years, Medeno has made a lot of tricks, which can be described as adding blockages to the Chinese, but they have all been resolved by the Chinese one by one, and every time it will give back the Medeno people a resounding slap in the face, with the growing strength of the Oriental Port, this fait accompli has begun to make many Medeno people begin to feel a little disheartened.

What made the top management of Maidno feel most panicked was that the Chinese did not think much of the Maidnor people as outsiders, especially those who had been captured before, and heard that a large part of them had joined the naturalized people and became part of the Oriental Port. They also learned from the local Maidno spies that these captives were doing quite well in Orient Harbor, and many of them were reused, and now they were all loyal, and even reported some of them to show loyalty to the Chinese. Does this still keep them alive? The living standards of the Chinese are much higher than those of ordinary Medeno, and now there is no mustard on both sides, if they are allowed to integrate so thoroughly, then the Medeno people will be slowly assimilated, if they are sent back to the maritime cities or colonial islands of Medeno to cause sabotage, how can they be prevented? The biggest problem now is that this circle of Maidno businessmen under his command does not care about these things at all, and only knows to load goods in other places according to the list on the Chinese goods list every day, and then go to the Oriental Port to exchange for Chinese goods, and then sell them to other places to make money, and do not care about the growing security threat of the Chinese to Maidno. Even at this time, the Medeno people were already in a state of war with the Chinese, and there were still a large number of Medeno merchant ships cruising outside the Medeno naval blockade circle, thinking of sending the raw materials on their ships into them, and then exchanging them for super sought-after Chinese goods that could be turned into white flowers and silver.

============================= divider =============================

"Stand still!" An infantry battalion officer shouted loudly, and several of his own soldiers ran back and forth beside him, waving clubs in their hands and shouting around the infantry battalion soldiers, "Obey your lordship's orders!" Stand up! ”

"Gun on the shoulder!" The officer yelled again, and the soldiers next to him looked left and right in confusion, and then put their rifles on their shoulders and got ready. In front of them was a relatively gentle hillside, the only terrain in the area that could be used for field warfare. This gentle slope is about a kilometer long from north to south, about 100 meters wide, and the terrain on both sides is either a towering mountain or a river sixty or seventy meters deep below.

The officer looked left and right, and in addition to his company, there was also an infantry battalion on the left and right sides of his position, and an infantry battalion behind him.

Opposite him is the army of North An south preparing to attack Hue, how many people in the north army are now is not clear for the time being, I heard that the captured prisoners said that there are about 60,000 troops, whether they are all here is unknown, the group of enemy troops in front of them seems to have more than 2,000 people, because this gentle slope can only accommodate such a small number of people, and there seems to be a steady stream of troops at the end of the woods in the distance.

"Looks like it's going to be a tough fight!" He sighed, although there are more than ten infantry battalions that have been sent to the battlefield now, but now they are all used as firefighting teams, and they will be thrown wherever they are needed, and his battalion has been marching rapidly in the past few days, and there are about thirty soldiers who have not been able to catch up with the team and have fallen behind, although some of them will catch up, but who knows when?

The army on the opposite side began to stir a little, and he could see someone riding back and forth in the crowd with a luxurious-looking helmet, and from time to time he would raise his long knife in his hand and shout, and the soldiers of the Northern army would also shout and shout along with him, as if they had succeeded in boosting morale. Sure enough, not long after, the gorgeous helmet suddenly raised its long knife and swung it in his direction several times, and the soldiers heard a loud roar and began to rush towards the direction of the infantry battalion at full speed.

"Steady!" The officer roared, while his hands flipped through the air with his sigils, as if to give an order, "Steady! "Steady!" "Don't move!" The soldiers shouted at the order they had just received.

Watching the thousands of people rushing towards them could not hold their breath, but the horror of the officers had made them even more afraid of their imaginations than of the enemy who was rushing towards them.

"The enemy rushed into two hundred zhang!" Someone shouted from the side, and the officer nodded, waved the command knife in his hand down, and shouted, "First row shoot!" ”

"Bang bang bang", as the dense gunfire rang out, the three infantry battalions spewed out flames almost simultaneously. The bullet flew into the air, drawing a parabola in the air and falling straight on the heads of the attacking Northern soldiers. Immediately, many soldiers were wounded, but because of the long distance, most of them only suffered some skin injuries, and many of them were shot or even just running a little sluggishly, and then began to run at a high speed, brandishing knives, guns and clubs in their hands and shouting, and rushed towards the infantry battalion on this side.
