Chapter 19 Building two navies
"You know that thing is not easy yet! But some have been built, and the information is much faster than in the past!"
It is certainly not easy to build a signal tower that transmits with optical signals at this time, but Martin has imagined that if there is electricity in the future, those towers will be the relay towers of the world's first batch of radio signals. Of course, there is still a long distance to this matter at this moment.
"Well, Teacher Martin, I have an idea. You see, we are going to open up some mineral collection sites in Australia. Can we ask Pu Jinshu to send some people to Fusang to catch some slaves to work?"
Zhao Fubo's thinking jumped far enough. The Arab Empire has not yet settled, and he is already thinking about such a distant thing. However, this is a bit psychologically unacceptable for a modern man, Martin. After all, if he went to Fusang to catch some people to start mining, Zhao Fubo would never have any good methods. It is estimated that the people arrested will "open dead mines". That is, the mining method with the least investment, the worst safety, and the most deaths. Although Fusang did not have much population at this time, it was definitely enough to use it to start mining.
"this……"
When Zhao Fubo saw Teacher Martin's reaction, he immediately understood this kind of thing and told Teacher Martin that he would definitely not like it. However, Zhao Fubo thought in his heart that even if he wanted democracy, freedom, and humanity, he would have to get it from the people of the Chinese Empire, so that others could have it.
"Oh, I understand the teacher!"
While speaking, Zhao Fubo gave a wink to Pearl Little Branch Xie Jielai Duer and asked her to record this matter. Looking back, Teacher Martin talked about humanity, which was his problem. It was a good thing to talk about humanity to the citizens of the Chinese Empire, and it was no harm to ask Teacher Martin to think about it more. As for the Fusang people, it was still the same thing, and he didn't pay taxes to him, so it was nothing to do with him.
Pearl Sprig Xie Jielai Duer, the black widow, naturally would not care about the lives and death of the Fusang people. Only Shi Xuerong, who saw them wink quietly, understood that the Fusang people might die at this moment. But she knew that this was the decision of the family, and she could not object, nor could she tell her father. After all, that was the matter of their Zhao family, so why bother her father?
"Teacher Martin, let's talk about what we are here. I have such a consideration. Please tell me if it's appropriate!"
Zhao Fubo didn't want Martin to be entangled in the issue of humanity and inhumanity, so he immediately threw another question to the teacher for him to think about.
"Teacher, Constantinople is the territory of the Europeans. If we attack directly for the Pope, it would be a bit inappropriate. I am worried that it may affect our income in Europe. You know that people who are too religious are a little stupid! So I think it is our Egyptian alliance and the Syrian alliance forces to do this. At most, the cities will be captured, and the wealth there will be given to them more. Then we assist the Pope and pretend to attack. The Egyptian and Syrian allies will just withdraw at that time. Do you think it is more reasonable to do this!"
When he heard Zhao Fubo's plan, Martin opened his eyes wide. He really should take a good look at his student. When he was doing things, he did not win the battle with the army as he did in the past. Although the "Chinese Army" attacked Constantinople at this moment, as Zhao Fubo said, it may cause adverse effects on the sales of Chinese goods in Europe. It is especially possible to reduce the prestige of Pope Innocent IV, which is contrary to their master and apprentice's plan to use religion to prevent the development of European natural sciences.
Zhao Fubo's solution was first attacked by the Arabs and then attacked by the Pope. It should be said that Pope Innocent IV created the best opportunity to use religious totalitarianism to rule Europe. If he had no eyes, he would naturally not have a good ending. Because the closest place to him was the territory of the Arab Empire, and there were Zhao Fubo's allies there.
"Well, this method is good, so that it will save Europeans from being uncomfortable. As for your two allies, I think they will get a lot of gains in Constantinople and nearby towns. Even if they have to retreat in the end, they will think their harvest will be very good! This method is good, but Fubo, I'll talk about it after dinner. Look at your plate, no matter how big it is, eat first!"
Just now, everyone talked about future changes and thought about future events, and each of them lost their appetite. While everyone was having a meal, Martin asked another problem.
"But our troops are still not sufficient. You know that the Khanate Khanate and the Mongolian army are eyeing each other. I guess they are quite convinced of the defeat in this battle, but their combat methods are extremely mobile. You have to be careful that they may cause trouble when you attack Constantinople."
Zhao Fubo had a lot of ideas about marching and fighting.
"Yes, but I think we should have a land along the Black Sea coast. There is also the Caspian Sea called Baku. Didn't you say there is oil? We also built a city and naval fleet for it. Are you optimistic?"
Martin had to admit that his student's greed was not at all. His strategic intention to establish the Black Sea Fleet and the Caspian Fleet was obvious. It is not difficult to understand the Caspian Sea, which was to control the Baku oil field. As for the Black Sea Fleet, it would naturally control the land transportation between Europe and Asia in the future. With these places, most of the major maritime transportation routes in Europe were controlled by him.
It’s a pity that there are some problems, because the problem this may cause is that the Chinese Empire will have too many military bases around the world in the future. Even if it is inconvenient to manage, it will cause more conflicts. What is particularly important is that the Chinese Empire does not need more territory. As long as we control China’s inherent territory and the newly added Australia and New Zealand that are not known to the world at this time, it will be enough to keep the future Chinese Empire’s government busy. Not to mention the strategic points that have been sent to find, such as Hawaii, Guam, etc., with point control surfaces.
"I think it's good, but do we need so many places, or I have a bigger idea. Fubo, don't you feel that maybe we can find some other people to fill in some gaps."
This mindless sentence made the others sitting confused, but Zhao Fubo understood that Teacher Martin had important things to talk to him!
