C2601 Fifty Years of Strategy (2/2)
”If I want to defeat Britain, I can only divide them up and cut off their naval strength. I have to make them wary of the North Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean …”
”Think about it, once the railways are built in the Ottoman Empire, once the Sea of Arabian has our permanent naval base and also a railway supply, the British Navy will have to split up and fight them!”
”At that time, my navy in the Western Pacific will also attract a portion of Britain's main maritime force. This way, Britain will not be able to concentrate its naval forces to form a huge advantage!”
”As long as their power is dispersed, we will have the opportunity to make a breakthrough. We will make small victories and wear down Britain's maritime power bit by bit. We will be victorious as long as we don't fight to the end!”
”When the time comes, the key is still to look at the army. How can those scum from the British Army be a match for the German Empire's army? ”As long as the army overcomes the United Kingdom, the navy will fight until a stalemate, then protect the land's railway arteries, and destroy the resource curse …”
”As time passes, Britain will naturally not be able to handle it. The scales of victory will naturally tilt towards us!”
”Of course, this is all based on the most serious situation. Most likely, the British would not dare to hit us!”
”They will protest, they will secretly do something bad, but you let them go to war in public to destroy our railway line? I think it might be very small! ”
”As long as we can endure it, as long as we pass through this railway line bit by bit and mobilize all of the resources in the hinterland of Asia, the world in the future will definitely be ours!”
Bismark was completely convinced. ”Dear Xiao, your vision is even deeper than mine, before we even started a war, you had already started to think about your future strategy for Britain …”
”I didn't expect you to have a war plan against England.”
”No, no, no …” ”This is not a plan, this is just a speculation!” Xiao Letian said humbly.
”That's enough! All the people in the world live a mediocre life. How many people can truly raise their heads and look at the road, let alone the future of a nation's people? ”
”Alright! ”After this Franco-Prussian War is over, I will devote all my resources to advancing the Baghdad Railway Plan. I hope that everything will go as you wish!”
Xiao Letian and Bismark's conversation this time basically established the general direction for the cooperation between the Chinese and German Empire s for the next fifty years. Although the relationship between the two countries had repeated this process, the overall direction for cooperation never changed.
He had to be extremely careful in fighting against a strategic expert like Bismark. If he did not have the history of foresight in the future to support him, he really did not know how he could have ended today's negotiation.
When he entered the carriage, Pierre, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up and said respectfully, ”The Head of the Guards … ”Thank you for trusting me …”
As he spoke, Pierre's voice was choked with sobs!
