Xun Qi felt very annoyed when he heard this, but he could not continue to argue. He could only look at Meng Kangbu. Although he was very clear in his heart that there was nothing to say, Zhu Helai had said everything he should say, and Meng Kangbu could no longer refuse.

In a war between countries, when one country is weaker than its opponent in all aspects, it will inevitably lose. As long as there is an advantage, no matter how slim the hope is, the possibility of victory still exists.

Just like Sun Er and Wei Shuang, in the circle of six or seven heavy smelting, many people have the possibility of defeating Sun Er. No matter how slim this possibility is, they can always win a few to dozens of games in a hundred or eighty games. Only Wei Shuang can't beat Sun Er no matter what, and loses as many times as he fights.

But in fact, when Wei Shuang fights other people, even those six or seven heavy smelting brothers who can fight with Sun Er, he can always win dozens of games in a hundred or eighty games. Even some brothers who can win against Sun Er may not be disappointed on the spot when they meet Wei Shuang.

However, the problem is that Wei Shuang has never defeated Sun Er. He can never win no matter what. Even Xiao Hou, who is at the sixth level of smelting, can always seize the opportunity to win a few to ten games when facing Sun Er in 100 or 180 games, but Wei Shuang, who is at the seventh level of smelting, has never won once. This is not a question of letting him go.

To put it bluntly, Sun Er is just a big Wei Shuang, who is just a little bit stronger than the current Wei Shuang, so Wei Shuang can't fully exert his strength and was beaten. When facing Sun Er, other people have dozens of weak points, but they have more or less some advantages that Sun Er does not have.

Relying on these advantages, these people can still win when they fight Sun Er alone as long as they seize the opportunity. Wei Shuang, known as Little Sun Er, is just weaker than Sun Er in every point. Of course, he can beat others cleanly, but he can't beat Sun Er.

From a certain perspective, the talent of decathlon is really a pitfall. It is stable, but if you choose this path, you will really encounter opponents that you cannot beat at all. It is really pitfall. From a certain perspective, this talent has really been crushed by General Wei.

The war between Kushan and Han Dynasty actually conforms to this logic. In these years, Kushan Empire has been knocked out of its own advantages one by one by Han Dynasty. Now there are not many advantages left, and the navy is almost the only advantage that Kushan Empire can show at present.

However, as long as Zhou Yu is alive, the only advantage that Kushan Empire can show at present will sooner or later become a disadvantage. Meng Kangbu is at his peak, but Zhou Yu has just entered his peak in the past few years, and the latter is obviously stronger than the former. What this means is self-evident.

Therefore, now there is such an opportunity. From the standpoint of Kushan Empire, it is basically impossible to give up. Regardless of whether Zhou Yu is dead or not, if they take the opportunity to suddenly abolish the navy of Han Dynasty, they Kushan will have more time and more energy to deal with the next decisive battle.

"It's not because Zhou Yu is dead, but simply because no matter what Zhou Yu does, the current chaos in Sumatra cannot be eliminated?" Xun Qi looked at Meng Kangbu with a sigh. At this point, whether Zhou Yu is dead or not is actually not important. What's important is that this is indeed an opportunity, at least it is indeed an opportunity that can be used.

"Meng Kangbu, don't speak first." Just as Meng Kangbu opened his mouth, Xun Qi stopped Meng Kangbu, and then looked at Zhu Helai with sharp eyes.

"Secretary, I only ask one question." Xun Qi's face was calm, but his sharp eyes let everyone present know that the next question Xun Qi asked was directly related to whether Xun Qi would agree to this matter.

"Go ahead." Zhu Helai didn't think Xun Qi was provoking trouble. War is a major event for the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and destruction. It must be observed. Any caution at this time is fine.

"What if Zhou Yu is still alive?" Xun Qi said that he would put aside all the calculations of the Kushan and directly fall into the core point, that is, what if Zhou Yu is still alive?

"If Zhou Yu is still alive, then now is also an opportunity." Meng Kangbu sighed and said on behalf of Zhu He, but he was somewhat sad when he said this, "Because the Han Dynasty's navy had just suffered a heavy blow. Although it relied on the so-called East China Sea Ocean Fisheries Department to supplement it, it was only the backbone and part of the navy. Most of them still need to be re-recruited and trained."

The biggest difference between the navy and the army has appeared. You may be able to pull out the army to the battlefield after intensive training for half a year, and even be able to exert quite good combat effectiveness, but the navy is not the same. Not to mention that you only intensively train for half a year, you have only just started even if you intensively train for several years.

The Han Dynasty's reliance on the Ocean Fisheries Department to supplement its own navy was indeed beyond the expectations of Meng Kangbu and others. This behavior means to a certain extent that the once fragile shipping industry of the Han Dynasty has developed rapidly in recent years. Of course, this is only one aspect. What really makes Meng Kangbu feel outrageous is that the warships used by the Han Army's Ocean Fisheries Department are actually castrated versions of the seventh-generation ships and the sixth-generation ships.

You should know that in terms of economic benefits, warships are completely inferior to merchant ships, just like battleships. Battleships are only tens of thousands of tons, while merchant ships can be hundreds of thousands of tons. This is the difference in design and technology caused by ship design and positioning.

However, the Han Dynasty used warships directly in places such as fisheries where fishing boats were needed. Except for being able to train naval soldiers to a certain extent, compared with other aspects, it was all disadvantageous.

After all, the price of warships is much higher than that of merchant ships. In addition, many designs of warships are completely meaningless on merchant ships, and these are fixed costs. Then consider what level of navy can be provided by using fishing boats with the nature of warships. , Meng Kangbu felt that he was losing money.

No one thinks that using a battleship as a fishing boat training can help them become a real navy. It is true that they will be better than recruits who have never been on a battleship, and after getting on the ship, they will learn much faster than new recruits, but to be completely honest If it's qualified, then it's a lie.

After the real transfer, it still needs to be strengthened for a period of time. It can only be said that it has indeed reduced the cost of naval training to a certain extent, but the investment cost is too high.

Of course, this is for Guishang, and for Chen Xi, he is also aware of these things, but to be honest, he doesn't care much. He can accept the cost if it can speed up the formation of the navy, let alone from The original few years were directly shortened to one or two years.

As for the difference between merchant ships and warships, that's about it. A 10,000-ton warship is enough to be used as a fishing boat these days. No matter how big it is, there won't be much marginal benefit.

"That's what I'm worried about. Now we think that the strength of the Han Dynasty Navy has not recovered, and Zhou Yu is in a state of uncertainty about death or immortality. If he is really dead, I will not consider this. Assuming that he is not dead, Just waiting for you to rush over?" Xun Qi sighed and said, it was considered a final struggle. He didn't want Meng Kangbu to attack, because in his mind, Zhou Yu was already dead.

Zhou Yu was dead. Meng Kangbu attacked and swept the Han Dynasty's navy. After that, there was still a fart. Even with seven generations of ships, they could only hold on. Without a navy, even warships could not solve the problem.

"If Zhou Yu is dead, the possibility of us defeating the Han Dynasty Navy is 100%. But Zhou Yu is not dead. Let's clear up the shore defenses at several important positions. Even if we encounter Zhou Yu, given the current situation, we will not be defeated miserably. ." Zhu He came to Xun Qi and said, he had thought about many things thoroughly, so he came up with the idea that this could be done.

"What we are really worried about is actually the merger of Zhou Yu and the seventh-generation ship. Before that, we actually had the ability to suppress Zhou Yu. In the naval battle in the Bay of Bengal, after we severely damaged the Han Dynasty Navy, Zhou Yu could only protect himself from shore defense. Let's fight against Meng Kangbu." Zhu Helai informed Xun Qi one by one of the information he had determined, completely ending Xun Qi's argument.

"Yes, although it sounds a bit like wearing a high hat, in fact, after the last naval battle, even if Zhou Yu led the Han Dynasty navy, he directly encountered our main force at sea. With both sides fully manned, we have a greater chance of victory. Bigger." Meng Kangbu nodded and said, if it weren't for this reason, how could Zhou Yu stay in Malacca and not come out.

To put it bluntly, after leaving the coastal defense area, the current Han Dynasty navy cannot defeat Kushan, so it can only choose strategic contraction first.

Xun Qi sighed and finally gave up his argument. He knew that he could no longer convince everyone present. The reasons given by Zhu Helai were very sufficient.

"Well, since you all think so, I reserve my opinion. I still have doubts about Zhou Yu's death." Xun Qi sighed and said, "Have Oswin and Helilach made a judgment? If If it’s done, vote.”

Xun Qi had no choice but to take action. It was obvious that these people were ready to take action.

"It's not that we have to take action because Zhou Yu is dead, but more directly, we can't let Zhou Yu merge with the seventh-generation ship, so after the sea trial of the seventh-generation ship, we began to think about how to prevent this. Zhou Yu's death , It just made us further determined." Zhu Helai valued Xun Qi very much, so he explained a few more words.

Xun Qi nodded, but didn't say anything. He also realized this, so he realized that nothing he did was actually meaningless, because from a strategic perspective, Guishang was not interested in seeing Zhou Yu's death. The speculation was a preemptive strike in order to maintain its own strategic advantage. Zhou Yu's death can only be said to have happened at the right time, giving Guishan a greater opportunity.

"Even if Zhou Yu is not dead, after the seventh-generation Han Dynasty ship completes the sea trial, we have to find a time to strike first." Bankim sighed and said, it is not that they Kushan wise men are too radical, but from Realistically speaking, once Zhou Yu and the seventh-generation ship reunite, there will be no way to fight.

Generally speaking, the navy has a three-point structure, commanders, vehicles, and excellent naval soldiers. The Han Dynasty previously had the advantage of commanders. The vehicles have advantages, but they have not reached the crushing level. There is a gap between the soldiers and Kushan, but The gap is not so big that we can't fight.

After Mongkhambu killed the main force of the Han Dynasty navy in the Bay of Bengal, the three-point structure of the Han army was left with the advantage of the commander, and the advantage of the vehicle required naval soldiers to be exerted. Without the naval soldiers, the carrier The advantages of tools are no longer obvious.

This is the reason why Mengkangbu was able to hold down the Han Dynasty Navy. As the seventh-generation ship officially began sea trials, the Han Dynasty's vehicle advantage once again widened the gap with Kushan. It had an absolute advantage in command, and the carrier Now that it has an absolute advantage, it is self-evident what Kushan should do if it wants to continue to maintain its naval superiority.

"Even if Zhou Yu didn't die and the seventh-generation ships came to Malacca, the Han army still had no room for advancement, at least not for the next two years." Zhu Helai pointed to the camp where the Han navy was training and stationed and said.

"It doesn't matter after two years. Zhou Yu plus the seventh-generation ships, plus the Han navy that has undergone two years of specialized training, even if it is a fortified Ceylon, it can't withstand it. It will be the limit if it drags on for two or three years, and that's the time we need." Bankim also followed up to explain, and Xun Qi and Meng Kangbu nodded when they heard it. The fact still had to be acknowledged.

"So, now is our chance." Zhu Helai retracted his finger and looked at Meng Kangbu very seriously and said that only Meng Kangbu could execute this plan. Others, even if Zhu Helai risked losing all the spies stationed in Sumatra, took advantage of the chaos to destroy several important coastal defense guns, and rushed into the camp where the Han navy was stationed, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do everything.

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Now let's vote. General Oswin said he is not good at the navy. Although there is nothing wrong with this plan from a strategic point of view, he chose to abstain. Helila believes that since the strategic situation has reached this point, it is necessary to attack the training camp of the Han Dynasty Navy in the Malacca area." Bankim said the suggestions of the two Nordic people.

"I still maintain my attitude. The strategy is correct, but Zhou Yu must have his own calculations for faking his death. The other party may not be able to see that the period when the seventh-generation ship completes the sea trial and is being optimized is the most dangerous time for their Han Dynasty Navy, so I still vote no." Xun Qi said calmly, and Zhu Helai shook his head slightly to show his understanding.

"I also agree with His Highness Qi's opinion. Zhou Yu must have his own calculations for faking his death, so I also vote no. It's just that if the country as a whole thinks this is an opportunity, I will execute it." Meng Kangbu glanced at Xun Qi and then spoke slowly.

"Among the four of us, except Dilip voted no, the others all voted yes." Zhu Helai spoke on behalf of them. Hearing this, Meng Kangbu couldn't help but look at Dilip. He didn't expect that the other party would also vote no.

"After all, that's Zhou Yu. If he is plotting against us, we will just fall into a trap if we rush over now." Dilip said very simply.

"In this case, it's four votes in favor, three votes against, and one abstention." Xun Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Vasudeva I very naturally. With this number of votes, there is still hope for a comeback. After all, when everyone votes the same, Vasudeva I's vote can better represent the will of the country.

However, Vasudeva I's answer made Xun Qi, who was holding out for hope, fall into silence. The other party voted in favor. It is said that Vasudeva I, who has always been very cautious, should not have cast such a vote.

"Okay, I will lead the navy to attack Malacca next." Meng Kangbu stood up and said to everyone present. Since Vasudeva I agreed, he had nothing to say. Whether it was for the favor of knowing him or for the national will of the Kushan Empire, he would go all out in the future. There were always times when people could not avoid it.

"Speed ​​is the essence of war. Since it has been finalized, I will return to Ceylon now and inform my soldiers to prepare. While the situation is still under control, we will attack quickly. Maybe we can take advantage of the chaos to fight a wave." Meng Kangbu was also a decisive person. Since he agreed to this matter, he would not delay any more. A quick battle and a quick decision was the most effective solution. If it was fast enough, even if the Han Dynasty was prepared, it might not work.

"Okay." Vasudeva I was silent for a while and nodded.

"Then I will go back to Kushan too. I came here with Meng Kangbu before. Now that the matter has been finalized, I will go back with him. There are still many things to deal with in Peshawar." Xun Qi stood up and spoke. He was thinking about how to send complete and effective intelligence to the Han Dynasty before Meng Kangbu arrived in Sumatra, so that Jiangdong, which is now in chaos, can be prepared.

"Okay, the country will have to rely on you for a while recently." Vasudeva I nodded to Xun Qi. He was assured of Xun Qi's work.

"Well, then General Meng Kangbu and I will go back to the country first." Xun Qi bowed his head slightly, then glanced at Meng Kangbu, and Meng Kangbu expressed his understanding.

"I came with His Highness Qi, so it's better to take His Highness back when I return." Meng Kangbu nodded and looked at Xun Qi. This battle was not easy to fight, and Xun Qi's words, Meng Kangbu glanced at Zhu Helai obscurely, but was discovered by the other party. He couldn't help but smile, and then retracted his gaze.

[It's good to go back to Kushan with His Highness Qi. There are some things that need to be explained. If everything goes well this time, it's fine. If not, then some things really need to be prepared in advance. ] When Meng Kangbu retracted his gaze, he made up his mind involuntarily.

"Then the two of us will go back to China first." Xun Qi was in a vigorous and resolute manner. After bowing to the people on the opposite side with Meng Kangbu, he quickly left with Meng Kangbu.

Meng Kangbu took Xun Qi all the way without saying a word, flying straight from East Africa. After leaving the coastline, Meng Kangbu took Xun Qi and landed directly on the sea before Xun Qi could react.

When he landed on the sea, Meng Kangbu quickly activated a large number of secret methods, locking Xun Qi and himself in the secret methods. Xun Qi's pupils shrank when he saw this, and then the whole person looked at Meng Kangbu quietly, with an indifferent look that he would wait and see what Meng Kangbu did next.

Meng Kangbu took Xun Qi to the sea and activated various secret techniques to isolate him. He kept staring at Xun Qi to make sure that the other party was only slightly startled and returned to normal again. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He must now Find the right person to share your secrets with.

"General Mengkangbu, what do you want to do when you suddenly stopped on the sea and blocked the surrounding area?" Xun Qi looked at Mengkangbu indifferently, and then asked with some doubts.

"There are spies in the top brass of Kushan." Mengkangbu said bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, Xun Qi's mind was in turmoil, and even his back was soaked with sweat. If not for so many years of lurking, Xun Qi's character had been greatly tempered. When he first came to Kushan, Meng Kangbu would have been so One sentence was enough for Xun Qi to prepare to run away.

Seeing that Xun Qi didn't speak, Meng Kangbu didn't continue to speak. After a while, Xun Qi had already made some judgments in his mind and decided to bring a shit basin to Zhu He first.

"Come Zhu He." Xun Qi looked Meng Kangbu up and down, as if he was assessing Meng Kangbu's credibility, and then after a while, as if he was sure that Meng Kangbu was trustworthy, he slowly He spit out the name of the person he thought was the biggest trouble.

Meng Kangbu couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this, and looked at Xun Qi in disbelief. If he just judged that there was something wrong with Zhu Helai, it might be that Zhu Helai had some unspeakable reason, but Xunqi judged that Zhu Helai had something wrong. If there is a problem, there must be evidence that he doesn't know about.

"In the early years, we found that intelligence was always being lost, and we realized that there were spies at the top. After all, some information was not available to high-level people." Xun Qi quickly explained the logic of his judgment, and Meng Kangbu's slight change in expression, In Xun Qi's eyes, it was like he had found a comrade. Meng Kangbu judged that there was something wrong with Zhu Helai, and Meng Kangbu must have important information that he didn't know.

"So we started an internal self-examination, but there was no result." Xun Qi sighed and said, "Considering that there is no technical gap, the spies must be people around us. When I was investigating, I touched I've got some information, but I can't be sure, and I can't get any real evidence. But as you know, I can be regarded as the second heir to Kushan. I checked things and found some information that I can't confirm. The circle is actually very large. Smaller.”

Mengcombu nodded. Sometimes it can't be found, which is also a kind of intelligence, especially when the level is high enough. If it can't be found, it is more direct than directly finding it.

"So the circle has been locked on a few people from the beginning." Xun Qi sighed and said, "There is no evidence. I can't find any evidence. Some things can only be said to be mistakes at our level. We cannot Said it was a crime.”

At any rate, Mengkangbu had been trained by Gan Ning to keep silent, and he had already been able to think calmly about world affairs and human relations. Therefore, he had no doubts about Xun Qi's statement. Making mistakes was not a crime.

"I have strong evidence. You can check based on this evidence." Mengcomb said slowly.

It's the end of the month. If you have votes, the author is almost gone.
