Chapter 975: 976 Shen Chuan’s guess
Chapter 975 976 Shen Chuan’s speculation
"Your Majesty. They rejected our request. It seems that if we want to transport this batch of goods to Qin, we can only think of other ways." The official in charge of business stood in front of Tang Mo and reported anxiously. The reaction of the Chinese Empire.
The Tang Empire wanted Fengjiang to cease fighting for fifteen days to facilitate the transportation of goods, but the Great China Empire actually refused.
Nangong Hong, who was sitting aside, let out a laugh, as if he had heard some good news. Roger on the other side sighed and shook his head.
Tang Mo didn't seem to be surprised, he just moved his eyes, and then said: "Send another letter of credence to Zhao Kai. If they persist, we will sell it to Fengjiang. Some Dahua Empire does not want to be on the battlefield. Weapons seen."
"Just tell Zhao Kai bluntly that if he rejects our country's request, then Fengjiang's army will have a long-range weapon that can attack the capital of the Dahua Empire! The scene will become very ugly by then." Tang Mo said After that, he waved the officials who came to report to leave.
"It seems that the Dahua Empire still doesn't know what is good and what is good." Nangong Hong said with great interest: "The Qin State will probably cry. If they thought that the Dahua Empire would be so stupid, they might not have to fight so hard. Shu Kingdom."
“If we help Zhao Yu attack the capital of Dahua, will it escalate the war?” Roger on the side was a little worried that the Tang Empire would be involved in the war.
He was not afraid that the Tang Empire would suffer losses in the war. What he was afraid of was that the war would affect the domestic economic construction and development, and at the same time affect the international reputation of the Datang Empire.
Sometimes, credibility is very important. The lighthouse country has become increasingly passive in international affairs because of its increasing number of credit failures.
"Don't worry. Even if the current Dahua Empire wants to attack us directly, they have to cross Fengjiang... Do you think they have that ability?" Tang Mo said to Roger with a smile: "If they really have the courage to attack I am Datang, I really want to look up to Zhao Kai."
Now he really looks down on Zhao Kai. This emperor is fierce in appearance, has outstanding internal fighting ability, and is simply an idiot to the outside world. He is not his real competitor.
Honestly speaking, in terms of ability, Xiong Biao from Chu State may have more experience than Zhao Kai. After all, countries like Chu have always been in a weak position, and they have rich experience in dealing with powerful countries.
…
“Weapons?” When they heard such a threat from the ambassador of the Tang Empire, the first reaction of the courtiers of the Great China Empire was to be confused.
Tang State actually threatened to sell a weapon that could attack their imperial capital... This is simply a joke.
The bombers of the Tang Empire have never flown such a long distance. Even if the Tang Empire develops a bomber that can fly such a distance, it may not be able to fly safely over the imperial capital.
Just kidding, that’s a distance of nearly 1,700 kilometers! All along the way, we were flying in the territory of the Dahua Empire. From various places, we could see the planes flying over with the naked eye, and even the planes that took off temporarily could intercept them.
Not to mention, the bombers can hardly fly at this distance, so it is unlikely that there will be **** fighter jets.
"Are you threatening me?" Zhao Kai looked displeased at the ambassador of the Tang Empire, who was neither humble nor overbearing, and asked coldly.
"That's not the case!" The ambassador of the Tang Empire raised his head and said with a sneer: "The foreign minister is just stating a fact. If your country continues its hostile attitude toward the Tang Empire irrationally, the Tang Empire will increase its friendly attitude toward the Tang Empire. The support of the forces.”
"Okay! Okay! I want to take a look at your new weapons!" Zhao Kai laughed angrily: "I'm waiting here, waiting for Fengjiang's plane to fly to the imperial capital!"
Chu Muzhou originally wanted to step forward and say a few words of persuasion to calm the situation. But before he could speak, the ambassador of the Tang Empire flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall without looking back.
"Shang Shu Shen, what do you think?" After the court meeting was over, Chu Muzhou pulled the worried Shen Chuan and asked in a low voice.
Shen Chuan was a professional. He also lowered his voice and answered the prime minister's question: "The technology of the Tang Empire has always been very weird, and I can't say whether they have bombers that can fly such a distance."
He spoke very cautiously, taking into account many aspects: "If calculated based on the previous attack distance of the Tang Empire's bombers, the imperial capital is safe. But if the Datang Empire has more advanced bombers, it is hard to say."
At this point, he paused, glanced at Chen Jing, who was approaching, and continued: "But having said that, even if there are larger bombers, it is impossible for bombers to **** them at this distance... There should be no problem with interception. The engineers of the Dahua Empire have not been idle in the past two years. They have installed some small props on the new fighter jets they produced so that these fighter jets can barely fly to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.
These improved aircraft have certain high-altitude interception capabilities, so Zhao Kai is very confident in the air defense of his imperial city.
“That means we should be safe here?” Chen Jing Shangshu, who came over, asked guiltily.
Chu Muzhou glanced at Chen Jing, said nothing, and then looked at Shen Chuan.
Shen Chuan thought about it for a moment and did not say anything. "If the other party bombs at night, we will not be able to take off fighter jets to intercept it. However, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns and a large number of searchlights are deployed near the imperial capital, so we should..."
"They must have a plane that can fly so far?" At this time, another minister came over and interjected.
Shen Chuan didn't want to take the blame, so he emphasized: "I dare not say this. The Tang State always has some new weapons. Everyone knows this... If they dare to say this, they probably really have new weapons. In addition, the existing weapons Datang gave Fengjiang the weapons, and it is not impossible for Fengjiang to find a few dead soldiers to fly directly to the imperial capital to drop bombs. "
If someone wants a madman to fly one way, wouldn't the attack distance be enough? There is no need for any advanced weapons, just existing bombers are enough.
"Hiss..." After hearing what Shen Chuan said, several ministers took a breath. They had never considered Toyue's method of using bombers to fly one way before.
How can I say that Shen Chuan is a professional? He can think of such a perverted trick at once. What they didn't know was that the reason Shen Chuan was so familiar with this routine was because Zhao Kai once asked him to plan a one-way bombing plan to attack Chang'an of the Tang Empire.
Just because there are no **** fighters during the day, facing the butcher fighters of the Tang Empire, it is really impossible for the one-way Dahua Empire bombers to fly over Chang'an.
As for the night, the bomber formation itself is a problem. Although the Dahua Empire has conducted night bombings before, the success rate was almost zero. Therefore, the plan to bomb Chang'an one-way was shelved.
When everyone dispersed, Shen Chuan accompanied Chu Muzhou for a while. Seeing that no one else was around, Chu Muzhou asked Shen Chuan again: "Shen Shangshu really thinks that Tang State has the ability to bomb the imperial capital?"
"With the existing technical conditions, it is difficult to bomb the imperial capital. What I'm afraid of is that the Tang State really has any weapons, or they will find another way..." Shen Chuan answered honestly.
“Think of another way?” Chu Muzhou raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, it spans 1,700 kilometers. If this matter is left to me, it will be easier to find spies to plant a bomb in the imperial capital." Shen Chuan expressed his opinion.
The imperial capital of the Great China Empire was penetrated like a sieve by the Tang Empire. They had already done things like stealing the families of ministers or simply covering the escape of princes. Wouldn’t it be easy to plant a bomb?
"This matter...I think the Tang Empire will not do it." Chu Muzhou shook his head and said to Shen Chuan: "The envoys of the Tang State promised me that they would not do this."
“Do you believe it?” Shen Chuan looked at Chu Muzhou curiously.
“I believe it.” Chu Muzhou nodded, his tone firm.
“Why?” Shen Chuan became curious.
"Because they are the dominant party. They don't want us to do this, so they won't do it first..." Chu Muzhou said: "If they do this, doesn't it give us the opportunity to follow suit?"
"..." Shen Chuan thought about it and it was indeed true. No one was willing to use poison assassination or other methods. Even if they did, they would keep a low profile. Isn't it because if this method is used too much, the rules will be broken.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the Tang State would not choose such a despicable method to attack the capital of the Great China Empire. This is not in the interest of the Great Tang Empire.
There is a high probability that it is still a new type of weapon... Shen Chuan thought so, and parted ways with Chu Muzhou with concern.
