Out of the cage

The European war is in full swing, on the Tianzhu Ocean, Sinhala. (The island in the south of the Tianzhu Peninsula, also known as Ceylon)

In October 2287, Wei Keng landed here from the plateau on a Qinglong floating battleship, and a large number of supply ships on the sea also arrived on the island.

Forward military bases are unfolding here. The residents of Sinhala extended a warm welcome to the generals sent from China.

This small island is a Buddhist country, which is recorded as a lion country in the Tang Dynasty Records of the Western Regions.

After the age of great voyages, the Chinese side established a frontier base here. The local Buddhist belief is the mainstay. After the crew and the locals intermarried, the Chinese culture was also integrated here. It is also the most important vassal state of China in the Tianzhuyang region.

As for the garrison of the Kingdom of Heaven, the locals greeted them grandly along the street.

Representatives of the local Sinhalese have all studied Chinese, and even come from local aristocrats with Chinese ancestry in their families. The operation of the forces of Shenzhou here has subtly continued for dozens of generations.

[The poor sea-going ships in the West are empty-handed. They first go to Africa and South Asia to plunder, and then go to East Asia with gold and silver to purchase. Before the Industrial Revolution, the East has historically been an exporter of commodities, often bringing prosperity. 】

Buddhist towers are prevalent in this area, and they are also funded by Chinese believers. The skillful craftsmen of East Asia and the inherent culture of worshiping Buddha have created the famous religious holy places in South Asia.

Of course, the prevalence of martial arts in Buddhism is not enough. In modern times, the king of Sinhala was very troubled by Arab pirates and later European pirates.

Therefore, the maritime garrison in Shenzhou has built a security barrier for the local area since the age of great navigation.

After Wei Keng arrived in the area, he attended the banquet.

Wei Keng: We must respect local customs and culture here. There is no need for social reform.

The current trend of social progress in China is based on the needs of large social groups to develop productivity. Master Wei will not be dogmatic, and then toss about the island country.

According to the data of multiple planes, the social system is not absolutely linked to technology, but to the environment and the number of people.

For example, in some cosmic war planes, the most effective system for humans in spaceships is the lordship system.

There are no conditions for the development of productivity in the spacecraft. Maintaining social order and stability and supporting the crew to reach their destinations are the core missions.

Therefore, in the sub-marginal areas of the South Asian continent, there is no condition for drastic changes. Its only direction is to follow a good big brother, undertake scientific and technological progress, and connect cultures with each other, so as not to be left too far behind by mainstream civilization.

After appeasing the local representative, Wei Keng remembered his mission this time.

In order to guard the gate of the Tianzhuyang area, a planned reconstruction of the Sinhalese naval military facilities began.

First of all, as an official chess player in the Tianzhuyang region, before investing in military power, one must think about what is the strategic purpose? All subsequent layouts are based on strategic interest criteria.

In the headquarters, Wei Keng turned on the communicator, called the officers of various major ranks into the virtual meeting room, and discussed the current strategy of Shenzhou in Tianzhuyang:

Absolute command of the sea in Tianzhuyang? No no, this range is too large. Up and down, left and right, the entrances of the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, Malacca, and the Southern Ocean are very large. And with an interval of thousands of kilometers, it is impossible for China's navy to block every opening.

But if you persist in blocking one opening, the other opening will be at risk of being broken through. The cost of dominating the Indian Ocean is too high.

Wei Keng narrated to the captains and air base commanders: "So China's maritime strategy in this area is defensive. Defense is to ensure the safety of our ocean mining and the smooth passage of water."

After all, Wei Keng drew three circles in the Tianzhu area, with Tianzhu as the center.

The first circle is the 500-kilometer coastline of the Tianzhu subcontinent. Here, a large number of light frigates will be patrolling and defending.

The second circle is extrapolated to a thousand kilometers away. In this circle, it should be the control of the sea. It is necessary to establish a complete anti-submarine sonar network and an air cruise system.

As for the third circle, extrapolated to two thousand kilometers away, here is the deep blue cruising circle. If the big fleet fights, it will resist the enemy within this circle. When not in combat, cruise within this circle.

In the outer circle, only hydrographic survey ships are deployed.

If the enemy makes a surprise attack, whether it is the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, or the Southern Ocean, they will travel long distances and go deep alone. This kind of march must have a combat goal.

As long as the Tianzhuyang Fleet in Shenzhou does not give the enemy fleet a chance to successfully achieve its offensive goals, it can achieve its strategic goals without fighting.

...

Wei Keng tapped on the blackboard, and made a key summary to the colleagues below: "As for the power of foreign navies, it is normal for them to pass through Tianzhuyang, and it takes getting used to.

Our navy insists on not firing the first shot in the public area of ​​Tianzhuyang, but we must ensure that we have the ability to defeat any "passing" force.

We welcome all parties to jointly maintain the security order in the Tianzhu Ocean region, but our maritime interests cannot be damaged in the slightest here. If the enemy dares to hurt me, he will cut off his arm. "

After such a strategic deployment continues. In 2288, the strategic construction of Shenzhou's logistics in the Tianzhuyang area began.

First of all, in the offshore areas, such as the Arabian Ocean and the Gulf of Bengal, the Shenzhou Plateau takes over the public facilities.

Sea-pile power stations have been put into construction one by one. Thirty percent of the power station's power is sent to low-Earth orbit satellites to maintain radar searches of the area.

The remaining electric energy is transmitted to the surrounding islands, where it is used to electrolyze hydrogen and then reduce carbon dioxide through a catalyst to generate methane, which is sent to South Asia and West Asia through gas pipelines. Such civilian energy stations can also provide supplies for the maritime fleets of various forces in the region on a daily basis. And grasping this element is better than maintaining a large fleet several times.

China's existing Tianzhuyang fleet is based on these energy stations to maintain endurance.

As for external forces, who will fire the first shot at the energy station in China? ——Then follow the plan to fight out the revenge action.

From the historical perspective of later generations, since 2288 in the Qin Dynasty, Shenzhou implemented a clear strategy in Tianzhuyang, which made Western Shenzhou almost impenetrable in the next series of crises.

Such a layout made it impossible for the Shengyang Navy, which was ready for an adventure in 1988, to face the fully alert Shenzhou Tianzhuyang Fleet. The people from Shengyang who used to gamble all of a sudden discovered that Wei had directly sealed the betting market!

Shenzhou has tens of thousands of target points in the Tianzhuyang area at once, and Shengyang sent a fleet over, even if the fleet size reaches one million tons, there are only four to five hundred tactical nodes for Shenzhou.

Although the Sun Fleet is maneuverable, it is impossible for Shenzhou's space satellites to straf the area intensively and remain concealed.

Well, in fact, the Earth Sha system has a stronger ability to discriminate fleets at sea.

Bian Que said: "The eldest brother sees the gods because of the disease. It is eliminated without form, so the name does not come from the family."

It is precisely because of Wei Keng's series of strategic deployments on Tianzhuyang that he has not encountered any enemies within two years, so the mainstream scholars in China did not realize how clever 'Wei Xin' is.

Even some commentators in the eastern part of China made slightly derogatory comments: the construction of a series of offshore energy stations is the economic cooperation between military officials and plateau regions. In fact, the commander in Sinhala knew that he was not good at fighting, so he had no fighting spirit.
