Volume 3 Chapter 398 Strong Suppression (4)
“…… According to this calculation, the number of ships that the enemy has assembled in the vicinity of Kalihet alone should be about three hundred, which is already equivalent to the total number of ships of our Sabbath fleet!! ”
By saying such a thing, Hassan Ke will inevitably provoke some of his political enemies to bombard him, saying that he is deliberately exaggerating the enemy's combat strength in order to shirk his own guilt. But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that some of the people who attacked Hassan Keyin before have begun to fall silent at this time.
To tell the truth, these people still know what Hassan Keyin is capable of, otherwise Hassan Keyin would not have sat in this position as the commander of the Rest Navy for so long, and if it wasn't for this incident, they wouldn't have found any excuse to attack Hassan Keyin. They had been busy attacking Hassan Keyin before, and some of the explanations given by Hassan Keyin were deliberately ignored. But now at this time, due to Wan'er's strong suppression, Hassan Keyin has the opportunity to speak out, and some people with a little brain have begun to carefully think about whether what Hassan Keyin said is the truth. If what Hassan Kines said was true......
Hassan at this end finally seized the opportunity to speak, and the depression that had been pressing in his heart a few days ago seemed to be vented at this moment, and his mouth turned into a machine gun: "There is one more thing I must say." For a long time, our navy of rest has the advantage of our ships over the navy of Rome (the eastern provinces), and it can be said that the old ships of Rome are not worth mentioning in the face of the new ships of our rest. But do you know that the enemy we are facing now is no worse than we are resting in peace? To be more precise, their ships are better than ours. I'm talking about ships of the same class, their guns are more powerful than ours, and the performance of the ships is slightly better. ”
This time, there were fewer people who shelled Hassan Keyin. Because at this point, people will think that if what Hassan Rope said is true, then it may not be really a good thing to replace Hassan Rope as the new commander of the Navy at this time. Just imagine, the enemy's fleet has more than 300 warships, which is equivalent to the Rest Navy that was in its heyday before, and the number of warships left in the current Rest Navy is less than 100, and the other side has an absolute advantage in terms of strength.
And then on this basis, the performance of the opponent's warships is better than that of resting, so with the warships that are now resting less than 100, they will be tough against the opponent's more than 300 ships...... This Nima is clearly looking for death, is it good? Anyone with a little knowledge or experience in naval warfare knows that naval warfare is different from land warfare, and there may be many tricks to play in land warfare, but most of the time naval warfare is stubborn. You don't have enough strength in your hands, so you still have a chrysanthemum!?
However, there are always a few people who are not open-minded enough, and at this time they are still attacking Hassan Keyin with their throats, but they only stopped their mouths under Wan'er's cold gaze. After these people closed their mouths, Wan'er sighed and said, "You don't have to doubt what Hassan Keyin said just now, what he said is true. Lu Ren from the East, he does have such strength. I can even tell you very clearly that Lu Ren still has a lot of coastal defense in his territory. If he had not had those worries and could have concentrated all his fleet here in peace, then according to my calculations, the total number of warships in his navy would be more than six hundred. If that really happens, then the naval battle between Anxi and Lu Ren basically doesn't need to be fought. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a gasp and "hiss" above this resting hall. But some people didn't believe it, and said to Wan'er with courage: "Lord Divine Envoy, it's not that I deliberately question your majesty, but I still want to ask, this Lu Ren from the East, he really has such a strong strength?" As far as I know, this Lu Ren is just a state pastor of the Eastern Han, where can he ......?"
Wan'er looked at this person and felt a little helpless. How to say that? Perhaps it is very appropriate to use the Chinese idiom "Yelang is arrogant" to describe the mentality of these people who rest in peace. However, Yelang is simply ignorant of the height of the sky, but the rest is strong on some levels for a long time and has formed an arrogant psychology, and then does not take others seriously. Come to think of it, in the past few years, the navy of the eastern provinces of Rome has basically only been bullied by the Rest Navy, and before that, the Rest Navy had never fought against a naval opponent of the same level, so they always thought that their level was the most advanced and the strongest strength. Perhaps, the "frog at the bottom of the well" can be used to describe these people who are resting?
However, at this time, some people may also have questions, even if they have been resting for so long, don't they know anything about the situation on Lu Ren's side? In fact, I really don't know much, because before resting, he only had some trade contacts with Lu Ren, and Lu Ren's navy was on duty at sea most of the time, and under normal circumstances, there would not be many fleets left behind, and military things were generally kept secret, and those businessmen who came to rest in peace were not interested in reconnaissance but in making money, so where would they inquire too much?
And the most critical one is that the information exchange in that era was not very smooth. That is, Wan'er instructed Cass Yili to arrange someone to reconnoiter for a while, but Lu Ren completely cut off the communication with Anxi after knowing about Wan'er's rest, and the information that Anxi could get from Lu Ren was even less.
These are no longer nonsense, only to say that after sighing softly, Wan'er said to the person who asked the question with a rather pleasant attitude: "Lu Ren's strength is only a lot more. Don't underestimate one of the state pastors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and several state pastors of the Eastern Han Dynasty are all very strong. This is because they are busy with infighting and have no thoughts about the outside world, and only this Lu Ren is looking at the region outside the Han Dynasty. And you still hold this mentality, despising the strength of others...... Hmph, I don't need to explain anything. Hassan Ke will return because you will be defeated miserably, just because you despise Lu Ren's strength and think that he will not be able to rest in peace, right? ”
Hassanki's old face immediately turned red, and he nodded awkwardly. But this guy can be regarded as a quick reaction, or it can be said that he is a little bit of self-comforting, anyway, he thinks that Wan'er's words actually helped him play a round, because it is better to defeat the enemy than to be inferior to others.
At this time, Wan'er looked around again, and saw that many people had fallen into a state of thinking about something, so she nodded secretly, and then said: "Everyone, some words are hard to hear, but at this time, I can't make you sober up if I don't poke out a little, but I don't want to say it too clearly." Let's put it this way, what you were fighting for before, everyone actually knows in their hearts, so I won't say anything about it. And what I'm going to warn you now is that what you think you're fighting for might be a good thing, but in my opinion, what you're fighting for is actually a hot potato. It smells very good, but when you do get it, it will burn your hands and bleed. ”
After saying that, Wan'er didn't speak again, but turned back and prepared to leave the court, only to give Kasy a look before leaving. Kass Eli understood that Wan'er had thrown the rest of the matter to her after she had calmed the scene. And Wan'er's purpose of stopping at this step is obviously to take care of her Kasy Eli's authority as the regent queen, after all, Wan'er has never said anything about appointing anyone until now, in other words, she has not really intervened in government affairs, which also makes Kasy Eli's heart feel a little calmer.
As for the next thing, the scene has been calmed by Wan'er, and it will be more convenient for Cass Yili to do it again. So after Wan'er left, Kasi Yili first coughed a few times to arouse everyone's attention, and then quietly said to Hassan Keyin: "Hassan Keyin, you said before that you couldn't go to fight the enemy head-on, so what do you think?" ”
No matter how stupid people are, I'm afraid they will understand that now is the time to perform, not to mention that Hassan is not a stupid person. And this guy understands in his heart that Wan'er's appearance this time is obviously covering himself, if he doesn't seize the opportunity, then he will be too sorry for Wan'er and Cass Yili, and he is even more sorry for himself, can he turn over the salted fish in one move, so he quickly gathered his mind and said very seriously: "The enemy is very strong, conservatively calculating that the number of naval warships will be three times the number of our existing warships, and in terms of the performance of warships, the enemy is also slightly stronger than us, so if we gather the existing warships, If you meet the enemy according to normal tactics, you will not have a chance of winning. ”
Kasy Ily knocked on the table and said with a little displeasure, "You've already said all this, and now I'm asking if you have any way to deal with the enemy who is about to attack!" ”
Hassan was choked and then asked Kasili to hang up a map of the Persian Gulf......
————————————————————
It was getting dark, and Wan'er was sipping tea at the stone table in the courtyard. As soon as she raised her eyes and saw that Kath Eli was walking towards her, Wan'er nodded secretly, and instructed the maid Vanilla to prepare a tea set for Kath Eli. When Kath Eli sat down and took a few sips of tea to relieve herself, Wan'er asked, "What's going on?" ”
Cass Yili said excitedly: "It's solved, it's all solved!" As for Hassan Kin's retention, those people have no voice. Divine Messenger, I want to thank you, and I thank you on behalf of Hassankein. If you hadn't intervened to suppress those people this time, Hassan Keyin's authority would definitely fall into the hands of others, and I'm afraid I'll ...... then."
Wan'er's cold voice interrupted Cass Eli's words: "Cass Eli, you have made a mistake. ”
Kasi Yili was startled by Wan'er's cold voice, and the excitement on her body just now immediately faded. Cautiously glanced at Wan'er, and said tentatively: "Lord Divine Envoy, what do you mean?" ”
Wan'er put down the teacup and stared at Kath Yili with a cold gaze: "First of all, you have to make it clear that I didn't come forward this time to help you solve your court dispute, it's really time to press, and you don't have time to choose new personnel to serve at all." In addition, I was really examining the other people in the court before, and if there were really any good countermeasures among those people at this time, I might have picked them out. ”
Kass Eli was startled when she heard this. What are the numbers? Any one of them became the new commander of the navy, and Cass Eli would have to die of a headache. Immediately, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that it was fortunate that those people were not competitive enough.
Wan'er glanced at Cass Eli, and roughly guessed what she was thinking, so she shook her head lightly and said, "But those people are too disappointed in me, they want to fight for power, but they don't even have any corresponding preparations, and if they really want to fight, they can only be the ones who deliver the food." Then when I think about it, I feel that it is not unreasonable that you are deliberately trying to keep Hassankiin, so I gave him this chance. Thankfully, Hassan didn't disappoint me. In our Huaxia there is a saying called shame and courage, he can reflect after the defeat, and think about how to deal with it next, which is also very satisfying to me.
"One more thing, and one of the reasons why I decided to give Hassan this opportunity. Because among the current Admirals of Anxi, there is no one other than him who has experience in fighting with a navy of the same level, and Hassan Ke himself suffered a big loss at the hands of Lu Ren because of this reason, so he will be more careful when he is asked to face it again. But what about the others...... Hum! If they were to assemble a fleet and fight to the death with Lu Ren's fleet as they shouted in the court, there would be no other result than defeat if nothing else. ”
After hearing this, Kass Eli said to herself, "This divine envoy of mine is really thoughtful. But after thinking about it carefully, I also feel that what Wan'er said is indeed very reasonable.
Wan'er re-served Kass Eli a cup of tea and asked, "How is Hassan Keyin going to resist Lu Ren?" ”
Kasy Ily hurriedly said, "Oh, that's right. At present, our fleet is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and it is not convenient for it to fight Lu Ren's fleet head-on, so we are preparing to concentrate the existing warships in the area around the entrance to the Persian Gulf, garrison the coastal terrain in a dangerous place, and at the same time cooperate with fortresses on the shore base, so as to block the mouth of the Persian Gulf. Moreover, with the help of geographical advantages, Lu Ren's advantage in the number of warships in the fleet could not be brought into play. What do you think, Lord Divine Messenger? ”
How can Wan'er have any experience in military affairs?
