Li Shimin nodded: "I understand. The long and narrow peninsula is the natural barrier of the mainland coastline, protecting Shandong and Liaodong and resisting the danger from the eastern sea."
Li Chengqian continued, "That's right, but the dynasties have never incorporated the peninsula into their own rule. This may be a historical limitation, because our threats have always come from the northern grasslands and the northeast, and we have never paid attention to the defense of the sea.
The peninsula is mountainous and barren, with little output, and it is too far away from our core areas, so we don't look down on it.
But now that we have the perspective of future generations, we should know the importance of the peninsula, so..."
Cheng Yaojin stood up and shouted: "Kill all the Goguryeo people, completely occupy the peninsula, and exterminate Japan!!"
Everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly, but Cheng Yaojin expressed what everyone was thinking.
Especially Liu Rengui, he had never understood why the court was so obsessed with Goguryeo, but now he understood.
Also understand the responsibilities on your shoulders.
He has made up his mind that his mission in this life is to destroy Japan and protect the sea borders of the Tang Dynasty! !
Li Chengqian then went on to describe the post-war situation and the contents of the Treaty of Shimonoseki.
Everyone regained their composure and listened...
As for the situation in the Far East, the Treaty of Shimonoseki set off a frenzy among imperialists to carve up China and intensified the competition among the imperialist powers in the Far East. The Three-Power Intervention to Return Liaoning clearly reflected that the powers were both colluding and fighting with each other on the issue of invading China.
Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Far East was basically a battle between Russia and Britain. Although the situations of Qing and Japan were different, they were both restricted by unequal treaties.
The victory in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 made Japan a powerful country in Asia and completely got rid of its semi-colonial status.
The Qing Dynasty's international status plummeted, wealth flowed out in large quantities, and the country's national strength declined.
The defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 caused an unprecedented shock to Qing society.
The "Japanese pirates" who had always been looked down upon by the Qing Dynasty wiped out the Beiyang Fleet, extorted huge sums of money, and took away Chinese territory.
As a result, everyone in the government and the country lost all confidence.
The Qing government's independent finances went bankrupt at this point, and it had to rely on borrowing from Western powers to survive.
After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan became the upstart in Asia.
The war indemnity was 230 million taels of silver.
The value of the spoils, including ships, was more than 100 million yen.
At that time, the Japanese government's annual fiscal revenue was only 80 million yen...
The Japanese Foreign Minister at the time said happily: "Before this indemnity, we had never expected that there would be several hundred million yen. The total income was only 80 million yen. Therefore, when we think of the 350 million yen rolling in now, both the government and individuals feel extremely wealthy."
After the occupation of North Korea and Wang Dao, it posed a direct strategic threat to Northeast China and East China, and became a springboard for attacking the mainland.
For the first time, Japan tasted the sweetness of aggression, which greatly stimulated its desire for expansion.
This laid the groundwork for the subsequent full-scale war of aggression against China...
"That's about it. No matter what, we must destroy the Japanese navy. If there's enough time left, we can burn Tokyo again!!"
Li Shimin stood up and said, "That's right. Let's go and see our old friends..."
In 2424, China in this time and space is stronger than ever because of the advanced American equipment that Li Chengqian and his companions brought with them during their last time travel.
The first Guo Chan aircraft carrier was officially launched and put into service as early as 2008. Although there were Liao Ning ships in history, they were completely reduced to training ships.
The first guo chan aircraft carrier is an 80,000-ton conventional-powered aircraft carrier with steam catapults.
The second ship was also launched and put into service in 2012. It still uses steam catapults, but has evolved to nuclear power.
The third one was commissioned in 2018. This aircraft carrier is also a ground-breaking aircraft carrier that surpasses America in all aspects.
Because this aircraft carrier uses electromagnetic catapults, its displacement reaches 11 tons.
At this time, America was still using steam catapults, although they also had a super aircraft carrier with electromagnetic catapults.
However, after being launched into service, it has been plagued by minor problems and has yet to form combat effectiveness.
In terms of the Air Force, thanks to the advanced fighter jets sent back by Li Chengqian, our own fifth-generation aircraft were launched five years ahead of schedule.
Nuclear submarines have made great strides and have been launched.
By 2024, we will have four aircraft carriers in service and two under construction.
As for 10,000-ton destroyers, various types of destroyers, amphibious assault ships and other ships, they were put into service one after another like dumplings.
The total tonnage of the navy has grown to 70% of America's, and it is very new, unlike America's ships, which are all old ships that are more than ten or twenty years old!
With our current strength, we are fully capable of engaging in a large-scale naval battle with America in the Xitai Ping Ocean.
At the same time, because our military power is developing rapidly, the two bears are still fighting, the situation is still stalemate, and other regions are still in turmoil.
But the situation is very strange. We are fully capable of mediating, but we are reluctant to take action and still sit back and wait.
Those who understand will understand the specific reasons here.
As long as America's energy is tied to Sha Mo and Dong Europe, America in the Western Pacific region will not dare to act recklessly, and we will still have time to fully develop the economy.
Until our military strength completely overwhelms America, then it won't just be that Dao, but we will return to the position we deserve.
Although this is a bit unpleasant and fails to destroy Japan, it is the safest strategy.
After all, once two great powers come to blows, mushroom bombs will be present, and no one can predict what the situation will eventually turn into!
Because we are also wearing shoes now, and we are really afraid that some idiots who are barefoot will destroy the world!
As for how to deal with Japan, there will be plenty of ways when the time comes!
Moreover, America is now mired in internal disputes, hollowing out of manufacturing, high debt, LGBT, bipartisan divisions, and public divisions.....
America is plagued by all kinds of problems, and we don't even have to do anything ourselves. We can just sit back and watch them collapse internally, and then we can reap the benefits.
But then again, we don't want America to fall into division or complete destruction, after all, there is a vast country to the north.
Our goal is to build a multi-level world, and the best strategy is to let Russia continue to compete with America.
We hide behind, develop steadily, and watch the world in turmoil. After all, making money is the most important thing...
