God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Clearly, through this period of infiltration of intelligence into the Han Empire, Cecislian has learned a great deal and gained a deeper understanding of the importance of certain things.

Especially after the two sides had engaged in substantial combat and contact, Cecissian believed that the other side's outstanding young officers would definitely be able to figure out his own strength and shortcomings.

Bridging the gap between the two sides in a short period of time is not something that can be achieved simply by saying that one has talent.

The difference between the two is not only in talent, but also in the experience that comes with age.

Although with age comes more solidified experience, making it easier to be influenced in command and operation, one loses the impulsiveness and boldness of youth.

However, the experience that will not disappear can ultimately guarantee an extremely high lower limit, a lower limit that cannot be surpassed.

“Therefore, the best way for the Han Empire’s soldiers to close this gap is to increase the construction and investment in steel behemoths…” Cecissian reached out to feel the gentle sea breeze, his eyes growing increasingly calm and cold.

Increasing investment in and construction of steel behemoths can indeed bridge the gap between the two sides and reduce the distance between them.

However, the cost and resources required to build the steel behemoths were an unacceptable and unbearable price for the Kushan Empire.

If the wealthy and vast Kushan Empire was like this, how strong could the Han Empire be?
Even if the Han Empire was wealthier and had more resources than the Gui Shuang Empire, the investment it required was still astronomical.

If the Kushan Empire needed to spend so much money and resources to build a giant steel ship, was the Han Empire any different?
Even if there is a difference, it won't be that big.

Such a huge investment has only brought about changes in quality; as for quantity, there is still a considerable gap.

After receiving feedback from various shipyards in the Kushan Empire regarding the construction of the steel behemoths, Cecissarian fully recognized the gap and also considered ways and actions to make up for it.

Since we cannot narrow the gap in quality, let's widen the gap in quantity.

With the support of an adaptive loop system, a sufficient number of ships and fleets can unleash power that is no less than that of steel behemoths.

As for the construction of wooden ships, the Kushan Empire had dozens of large shipyards capable of undertaking the corresponding construction tasks.

Thanks to the decades of effort of the Ceci family, there are countless sailors capable of piloting warships.

Based on the costs invested by both sides, the cost of the Han Empire investing in one giant steel ship was enough for the Kushan Empire to invest in several naval fleets.

This extreme ratio of numbers prevented Cecislian from worrying too much about what would happen after his death.

If the Kushan Empire were to achieve that level, the price it would have to pay would be considerable.

Therefore, the real solution to this problem is to destroy the Han Empire's shipyards, eliminate these skilled workers, and kill off the Han Empire's shipbuilding program before it even begins.

If this problem cannot be solved, then the only option is to find a way to destroy the Han Empire's naval fleet, dismantle the Han Empire's naval power in a short period of time, and then rely on the massive naval fleet to blockade the Han Empire's coastal areas, forcing the Han people to stay away from the sea and shipyards.

If this can be achieved, the Han Empire's naval fleet will be no threat.

However, the cost the Kushan Empire would have to pay to maintain such a high level of maritime blockade, or rather, the expenditure of continuous warfare, would be astronomical. But Cecissian only briefly considered these points before putting them out of his mind.

He has already demonstrated the solution to the current problem; whether the Kushan Empire can firmly implement it is not up to him.

It wasn't that he lacked power and influence, but rather that he didn't have enough time to live.

As long as he is alive, such a plan and method can certainly be implemented, but if he cannot persist, how long can this method last?
Can a blockade continue indefinitely if there is no enemy presence or fleet?

Will we end up raising a tiger to cause trouble, or nurturing an enemy to enhance our own power and seek personal gain?

It's hard to understand, extremely hard to understand, yet also very easy to understand.

“Still marveling at those steel behemoths…” Kapil, standing at a distance, looked at Cecissian after finishing his work and frowned slightly.

While steel behemoths are indeed very powerful, aside from being larger, faster, and more defensive, they are not necessarily comparable to warships operating under an adaptive system cycle.

"Perhaps that's the difference. Just like a master likes excellent weapons and a BMW, a naval commander likes an excellent ship, just like everyone else..." Mildred shook his head slightly, changing the tone of the matter in his words.

Everyone has their own perspective and different feelings about the ship beneath their feet.

Some people use boats purely as tools, some use them as weapons, and others use them as their homes or family members.

Everyone has different ideas and different attitudes toward ships.

Therefore, Miderlo didn't see anything wrong with Capil's attitude towards ships, and could even understand it.

As for the steel behemoth mentioned in her words, Mi Dieluo expressed that she liked it very much, whether it was verbally or in her heart, she liked it without any pretense.

Even though the ship belonged to the Han Empire, Mi Dieluo still expressed his fondness for it.

The bigger and more powerful the ship, the more worthy it is of their admiration and pursuit.

The ocean is vast, capable of accommodating even larger ships and grander dreams.

"Something you absolutely love?!" After listening to the explanation from the side, Kapil instantly understood the meaning, but still said with a touch of emotion.

My grandfather's pursuit of ships and the sea probably led him to have similar thoughts, though these thoughts seemed to be mixed with other things.

But considering that the Military Soul Legion was born from his own grandfather, it doesn't seem like a big problem now.

Driven by a thirst and yearning for the ocean, he led his legion to become the soul of the army, one of the most powerful and famous forces in the Kushan Empire, the emperor's most loyal protector, and one of the forces used by the royal family to suppress other factions.

"Perhaps you guessed right, or perhaps you didn't." Miderlo noticed the lack of seriousness on Kapil's face, and his tone softened considerably, avoiding further provocation to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. (End of Chapter)
