Lin Hai explained his plan carefully.
But in the end, Lin Hai said helplessly: "In fact, this is just an emergency plan. If our research and development can keep up with the progress, theoretically, we should have a weapon. Its most basic form should be a copper tube with a small mouth and a big belly. The mouth is about the size of a bowl. First, put a bag of propellant in it, then put an iron ball in it, and then ignite the propellant. The propellant pushes the iron ball out at an extremely fast speed, which can be said to be indestructible.
Well, it would be even better if the iron ball could explode like a dynamite bomb after hitting the ground. Unfortunately, that's not possible. I also thought about making a metal barrel, making it larger, putting propellant in it, and then placing a dynamite bomb on top of the propellant. That way, when it ignites, the propellant will push the dynamite bomb out, making it an indestructible weapon. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the right propellant. I've tried several times and have destroyed several metal barrels.
To be honest, this is what Lin Hai feels most regretful about. It would be great if the "heartless cannon" in the decisive battle could be reproduced. Whether it is a siege or a field battle, he doesn't think there are any soldiers in this world who can rush forward under the exploding bombs.
You know, the army left over from the Chen Dynasty was defeated just by the attack of crossbows.
Shi Zhen'er pondered for a moment and said, "If you put it that way, it's actually quite impressive. Brother Lin, it's not that the R&D people aren't working hard, it's that you're setting too high a standard."
Lin Hai said angrily, "Whether it's called a destroyer or a crusher, it's basically a catapult. A catapult should throw stones. We have explosives, but we don't even have cannons. This is like having all the delicacies of the land and the sea, but only being able to roast them. What a waste."
"It's okay. When you mentioned the cannon before, I thought it was too difficult. Using propellant to send a bag of explosives weighing dozens of kilograms dozens of miles away and blow up a huge crater, this is simply a magical method.
"Brother Lin, perhaps you've seen divine tactics, and perhaps we'll also master them in the future. But regardless, Cambodia is probably unworthy of our attack. On the other hand, if Cambodia had to use the cannons you mentioned, then their strength would far exceed ours. Now, it's not us who are outmaneuvering them, but rather them surrounding Qinghe City and attacking us."
Lin Hai was a little dazed when he heard this. He found that knowing too much was not a good thing. It is said that being one step ahead in thinking is a genius, and being two steps ahead is a madman. In military terms, being one step ahead can kill the opponent, and being two steps ahead, you probably can't even make the equipment you need.
But fortunately, at least I am one step ahead now.
For other people in Qinghe, whether they are ahead or not is actually not that important. After all, the order has been issued, and the most important thing now is how to implement it.
As a loyal subject of the Daliang Empire, Lin Hai would never attack a country without reason, especially a country that had just signed a peace treaty with him. This was a matter of principle.
Of course, you just can't attack without reason. If the other party is asking for death and begs you to go, you can go.
After all, logically, the interests of Qinghe are the interests of the Daliang Empire. If the interests of Qinghe are damaged, then the interests of the Daliang Empire are damaged. Then, as a local defender, Lu You has the right to launch a counterattack of a certain scale.
Of course, according to the plan, Lu You's counterattack will be difficult, so he should ask for help from the nearest garrison. Well, everyone knows what is going on with the garrisons in Xiangyun and Xichuan. So at this time, Lin Hai will have the reputation of being righteous and a reasonable and legal reason to send troops to Cambodia.
Lin Hai would even send a memorial to Zhongdu City, requesting aid from the Xia Emperor. This way, regardless of whether the Xia Emperor would send reinforcements or not, the full-scale war between Qinghe and Cambodia would be procedurally concluded. No one could find fault; this was the benefit of procedural justice.
It is a bit troublesome, but it is not difficult if someone from Cambodia cooperates.
"Notify our 'Khmer heroes' that we can start." Wang Zuo gave the order as he walked out of Kunmi's office.
