Kornilov and Nasimov are not at all surprised that Li Xiao would say this. They have dealt with someone a lot in the past few years, and they know that someone has his own theory about the future development and the construction of the army. There were a lot of arguments with their teacher Lazarev about this, and some of the views had a great influence on Lazarev.

Let's put it this way, the development of the Black Sea Fleet in the past few years has been greatly influenced by Li Xiao to some extent, and a lot of funds have been invested in some weird projects.

Such as cable telegraphy, such as ironmaking technology, such as lathes. Anyway, it seems that the relationship with the navy is not particularly great for the time being, but under the influence of Li Xiao, Lazarev really invested money out of his pocket.

Of course, the money was not spent in vain, not to mention lathes and iron smelting, the cable telegraph project is now making the Navy a lot of money.

With Nicholas I's request to vigorously develop the cable telegraph, this project became a favorite, but it was unknown in Russia before. When everyone didn't know how to start, Kornilov But you can tell the project leader, Duke Aldorf, that our navy has wired telegraph technology, and we have helped Wallachia build an experimental line before. Are you interested?

Let's put it this way, it was the previous investments that allowed the Navy to hold half of the orders for the domestic cable telegraph project.

What do you ask the rest of the half? That's because the cable telegraph equipment production and laying manufacturers that the Navy and Wallachia cooperate with have limited capabilities, and they really can't do it, so they have to give up.

The money earned this time alone has earned back all the investment of the Navy in the past few years, including the principal and interest. This made Kornilov pale in shock and deeply admired him. He felt that someone was indeed far-sighted. . Convince him that other projects with someone else will sooner or later be as successful as the cable telegraph.

Naturally, he paid more attention to what someone said, and now that someone said that the navy has better options, he must listen carefully.

"With the current strength of the Black Sea Fleet, it is not difficult to solve the Turkish fleet. I believe that the two generals should have this carefulness, and they can easily destroy the Turkish fleet and seize control of the Black Sea!"

Kornilov and Nasimov nodded together, because they did have the confidence to teach the Turkish fleet a lesson.

Li Xiao continued: "Since this is the case, continuing to strengthen the capital ships of the Black Sea Fleet will not have a big impact on the battle situation. Even if there are a few more capital ships, we still may not be the opponents of the British and French fleets, right?"

Well, although Kornilov and Nasimov were very reluctant, they could only continue to nod. Who told someone to tell the truth? No matter how arrogant the two of them are, they don't think their fleet can handle Britain and France.

"So from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, it doesn't make much sense to continue to build capital ships for the Black Sea Fleet. There is no essential difference between a few more ships and a few fewer. We should invest precious funds in projects that are more cost-effective go!"

Kornilov and Nasimov asked together: "For example?"

"For example, strengthening the defense facilities of Sevastopol and surrounding areas, such as developing more advanced mines and purchasing more mines!"

Well, to strengthen the defense of Sevastopol Kornilov and Nakhimov can understand that as the most important base of the Black Sea Fleet and the most important strategic support point of the Crimea Peninsula, as long as Sevastopol Under the control of the Russian army, no matter how arrogant the British and French fleets are, they cannot go anywhere.

But what the hell is developing more advanced mines and buying more mines? What's the point of this thing?

"Of course it makes sense," Li Xiao explained with a smile, "Since our fleet can't confront the British and French fleets head-on, we can't hand over control of the Black Sea, right?"

"Once the control of the Black Sea changes hands,

Then Britain and France can land wherever they want, and they can launch an offensive wherever they want along the Black Sea coast. This is too passive for us! "

"So we can only stand on the defensive and use strategic defensive tactics to disintegrate the enemy's maritime superiority! I mean, blockade the Turkish Strait with mines, and lay a large number of mines in the sea near the strait, making it difficult for the British and French fleets to enter the Black Sea! "

Kornilov and Nasimov looked at each other. They both knew what Li Xiao was thinking. To put it simply, they were trying to block the outlet of the Black Sea so that the powerful British and French fleets could not enter the Black Sea. If they can't get in, they can't help the Black Sea Fleet, and naturally they can't threaten the Black Sea coast.

I have to say that this idea is really weird, because according to the traditional theory of naval warfare, the development of a large fleet is all about fighting for sea dominance head-on, and there has never been a naval battle of blocking the door to let the enemy in.

If this kind of indiscriminate method is used in other countries, it will be ridiculed and it will not work. But for Russia, the situation is different.

As mentioned earlier, Russia's geographical environment is quite harsh for the navy. Several fleets are enclosed in narrow waters by natural terrain and geographical factors. It has been Russia's grand vision for more than a hundred years to go out and embrace the ocean. .

But on the other hand, although it is difficult for the Russian navy to go out, the enemy can easily block the Russian navy, but it is not so easy for the enemy to kill the door. The outlet of the Black Sea is a gutter. If this gutter can be blocked, Britain and France Naturally, the fleet cannot enter.

And this is not unacceptable to the Black Sea Fleet. Anyway, they are not the opponents of Britain and France for the time being, and they will be beaten if they rush out. But if they stay in the Black Sea honestly and just bully the Turkish Fleet, that will be another time. It's over.

Without the support of the British and French fleets, the Turkish fleet would not be worthy to carry the shoes of the Black Sea Fleet. At that time, the Black Sea Fleet had control of the Black Sea and could do whatever it wanted.

In the past, Kornilov, Nasimov and their teacher Lazarev thought about how to make the Black Sea Fleet stronger. It is best to have the strength to directly confront Britain and France, and use strength to keep the enemy out of the country.

But now Li Xiao has provided another path. He is playing dirty tricks, closing the Black Sea Strait with insidious tricks. What's more, there are no tigers in the mountains. Monkeys are kings, and the Black Sea Fleet is that monkey. It is the overlord!

This kind of thinking is not impossible, but there are still some problems that need to be solved in order to realize it. The first one is the problem of mines...
