Kornilov and Nasimov are not surprised that Li Xiao would say this. In the past few years, they have dealt with someone very often, knowing that someone has their own theory on the future development and army building. Someone before There have been many arguments with their teacher Lazarev about this, and some of these opinions have 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 somewhat influenced by Li Xiao, and a lot of funds have been invested in some weird projects.

For example, cable telegraph, ironmaking technology, such as lathe. 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 paid for it.

Of course, the money is not cast for nothing, not to mention lathes and ironmaking, 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 sweet pastry, but in Russia before, there was no idea about it. Just when everyone didn’t know how to proceed, Kornilov But I can tell the project leader the Duke of Ordorf that our navy has cable telegraph technology and has helped Wallachia build an experimental line before. Are you interested?

Let’s put it this way, it was the previous investment that allowed the Navy to hold half of the domestic cable telegraph project at once.

What are you asking about the remaining half? That’s because the navy and Wallachia’s cooperation in the production and laying of cable telegraph equipment manufacturers have limited capabilities, and they can’t do it and can only give up.

The money earned this time has earned back the Navy’s previous years of investment and profit, which made Kornilov shocked and deeply admired, thinking that someone is indeed too far-sighted. . Make him believe that other projects that work with someone will sooner or later shine like a cable telegraph.

Naturally, he pays more attention to what someone said, and now that someone says 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 the two generals should be careful and can easily destroy the Turkish fleet to take control of the Black Sea!”

Kornilov and Nasimov nodded together, because they did have this confidence and taught the Turkish fleet that it was not like playing.

Li Xiao continued: “In this case, the continued strengthening of the Black Sea Fleet’s battleship will not have a big impact on the battle. Even with a few more battleships, we still may not be the opponents of the British and French fleets, right?”

Well, although Kornilov and Nasimov were reluctant, they could only continue to nod their heads. Who would let someone tell the truth? No matter how arrogant the two of them were, they didn’t think that their fleet could handle Britain and France.

“So from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, it is not meaningful to continue building capital ships for the Black Sea Fleet. There is no essential difference between more and fewer ships. We should invest our precious funds in more cost-effective projects. go with!”

Kornilov and Nasimov asked together: “For example?”

“For example, strengthening the defense facilities in Sevastopol and surrounding areas, such as developing more advanced mines and purchasing more mines!”

Well, strengthening the defense of Sevastopol Kornilov and Nasimov can understand that as the most important base of the Black Sea Fleet and the most important strategic support point of the Crimean 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 wherever they are.

But what is the problem of developing more advanced mines and purchasing 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 dominance of the Black Sea changes hands, then Britain and France will land wherever they want to land, and they will be free to launch attacks on the coast of the Black Sea. This is too passive for us!”

“So we can only defensively, with a strategic defensive strategy to disintegrate the enemy’s maritime superiority! I mean, the Turkish Strait is blocked by mines, and a large number of mines are laid in the waters 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 Li Xiao’s thinking. To put it simply, they were trying to block the Black Sea’s exit to the sea, so that the powerful British and French fleets could not enter the Black Sea. They can’t enter the Black Sea Fleet, and naturally there is no way to threaten the coast of the Black Sea.

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

If this kind of indiscriminate means is placed in other countries, it will really be ridiculed, and it will be impossible to play. But for Russia, the situation is different.

As mentioned earlier, Russia’s geographic environment is very harsh for the navy. Several fleets are enclosed in narrow waters by natural topography and geographic factors. It is 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 Black Sea outlet is a sewer, if it can If this gutter was blocked, the British and French fleets would naturally not be able to enter.

And this is not unacceptable to the Black Sea Fleet. They are not rivals of Britain and France for the time being. They are also beaten when they rush out. But if you stay in the Black Sea honestly and just bully the Turkish fleet, that’s another time. It’s up.

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

In the past, Kornilov and 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 their strength to resist the enemy outside the country.

But now Li Xiao has provided another way. He is playing wretched currents, closing the Black Sea Strait with insidious tricks. The monkeys without tigers in the mountains are called kings. The Black Sea Fleet is the monkey. As long as there is no interference from tigers, it will be in the Black Sea. It’s Overlord!

This kind of thinking is not impossible, but there are some problems that need to be solved if it is really realized. The first thing is the problem of mines…
