20. The Bishop and the Juvenile (15)
ps:Everyone, it's the weekend.,A lot of ticket support!,The next one must be updated before 11 o'clock!
For the elven naval officers who are still tossing MDS in the apricot ditch, it is their dream to realize the battle for supremacy in battleships, but what to do, the drunkards who saw the sea for the first time were blind.
Admiral Lazarev's speech, although rather lengthy, did not touch on specific sea power and maritime strategy. But the rookie was thrilled by the strange resonance of the same navy, the same soldier, and the glorious history of the Principality's navy, and they listened carefully, and some of the officers even took out their notebooks to make notes.
Li Lin, who was standing next to the old general, didn't listen to anything, those ancient war histories, the growth and decline of the Duchy's navy, and even some of the secrets of the private lives of the senior officials of the Duchy's navy had already been written into reports by Stasi, and he was still lying in his desk drawer. Some of the fragments of Lazarev's speeches that have been quoted from the scriptures have long been stored in the zài number jù curry, and they can be recited in conjunction with the original if necessary, but those things mean nothing to Li Lin.
There is no so-called concept of sea power in this world, at most there is only naval warfare at the campaign level. The weapons of naval warfare and the equipment on floating cruisers are also the same - angular bows, catapults, magicians, soldiers skilled in hand-to-hand combat.
There is no pressure on this kind of kindergarten-level sea power to have naval weapons, but Li Lin will not be hot-headed and tilt the defense budget expenditure towards the navy at the moment.
Agentola is located in 6 and does not have the immediate strategic pressure from the sea. The geopolitical environment determines more than a decade or even a few decades. The focus of the small-scale defense force exhibition is to build in the direction of the six regional powers and the air force. The most the navy can consider is a kind of accumulation exhibition, and after trying to gain control of several port cities, it can accumulate some naval experience through some covert and practical activities.
For example, to open up colonies in the southern hemisphere, which no one knows yet, to solve the resource problem or something.
The Mother Goddess has always been very cautious in her dealings, and she is also very taboo about the possibility of great geographical progress and enlightenment. Any guy who goes out to sea to explore will always die in the sea because of such and such a guy, and over time, no one can get the wisdom of the world outside the big 6 in the northern hemisphere.
Li Lin, who had access to the relevant information, was the only exception, and for the sake of the resources needed for expansion, he had to start building a navy as soon as possible to expand and protect his overseas interests. Use the resources of the southern hemisphere to inject power into the Alfheim warplane, otherwise it will not be able to catch up with the schedule of the war.
But he wouldn't be as stupid as Wilhelm II, the German emperor who spent decades building all kinds of warships like a dead house with a passion for figurines and models. Then, according to the risk theory of Erpitz, the fleet built up with these ships was locked in the North Sea like prisoners throughout the war. Even though there are flashes of the Battle of Jutland, there are elusive raid ships and submarines that put pressure on the survival of the British Empire.
But on the whole, the pile of steel toys that cost a lot of money to build is not as meaningful as it should be. On the contrary, it attracted strategic attacks in two directions at the same time, the German Empire. In the end, it was the revolutionary frenzy that unleashed from within this fleet that buried the Hohenzollern dynasty, and then sank in humiliation in the secret telegram.
What history gives to some people is often what they least want.
Facing the pressure of living space, Yalfheim needs to start expanding its sea power to achieve external expansion. The role of the Defence Navy, which will also be played for quite some time. However, Li Lin did not intend to blatantly engage in a warship race from the beginning, which would attract the hostility of Albiang.
At this point, Admiral Lazarev bombarded with a speech that had ended, and all the bear orcs raised their hands and shouted wildly, and the elves clapped politely.
It stands to reason that it's almost time to start eating. But the old man cleared his throat, and his face was stern:
"Gentlemen!"
For a moment, all the attendees who thought they could have dinner were satisfied. Dull, numb gaze looked at Lazarev, who turned sideways.
"I would like to invite our guests from afar, our ally, His Excellency Siegfiotto Lilin, President of the VE Consortium Ltd., to give a speech. ”
There was still thunderous applause, and the main force of applause was the elves disguised as humans.
Cut off thinking about sea power, maritime strategy, and the navy. Put on a well-set face of modesty. Under the gaze of anticipation and indifference, as well as the undercurrent of competition, Li Lin began his speech, more precisely, the performance.
He first explained to the audience the purpose of his trip, telling a big lie with the most elegant language and the most flawed logic.
As for why he came to the remote shipyard at the northern end of the United Duchy of Thousands of Miles and spent money on two old ships that were not well maintained, and a half-finished cruiser that was not finished. There are as many high-sounding reasons as there are.
Promote the affectionate friendship between the two ancient wisdom species, promote the economic and trade exchanges between the two countries, enhance mutual understanding between the people of the two countries, especially the young people, and establish the friendship of comrades and brothers cemented by blood. Make every effort you can to develop and grow the Principality's navy......
In short, as long as it can help the United Rus' Principality, and can help the ambitions of His Majesty the Tsar, and whether it can be done in the end, it is also very good to think about it, and it will not live up to the favor of His Majesty the Tsarpa1a......
Pity those old rough generals, they have never heard such a meaty speech in most of their lives, and more than 30 hairy bears sit there surrounded by clouds, stunned that no one wants to take out a handkerchief and hold it in their hands, and say hatefully: "Sluts are hypocritical." ”......
For the first time, the baron appeared, and his friend actually had a unique talent - to be an actor.
So much, Li Lin didn't reveal his true intentions. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and lacks the need for the present. When you wait for anything to remember, it's too late. Instead of training a batch of landlubbers to get on and off the submarine in the future, let them vomit in the cabin. It is better to systematically develop and reserve a group of naval talents on a large scale first, as the seeds for the future development of the ocean-going navy.
Those two old cruisers could be repaired and used as sail training ships for the Navy, so that they could cultivate a true naval spirit and maritime awareness in practice. The unfinished aviation cruiser can be dealt with in the same way, and before that, it can also give the ship design and shipbuilding department a first practice, and then promote the progress of shipbuilding technology and related industries, which is very cost-effective for the elves and Li Linlai.
