Chapter 767: The Truth Is Only Within Cannon Range
"You all heard what he said..."
Lin Tianchen turned his head to look at the others, his eyes passed over Cao Congnan's face, swept across the staff officers, and finally landed on Xia Qing from the Artillery Research Institute.
The entire command center remained silent because everyone knew that Lin Tianchen had not finished speaking.
"The enemy's aircraft carrier fleet consists of thousands of large ships. I, Lin Tianchen, will not retreat, because I always believe that the truth is only within the range of artillery..."
"Now is the time to test the range of our artillery. The closest point on both sides of Luliu is thirty kilometers... Can our artillery withstand the test?"
Lin Tianchen's question made Xia Qing clench his fists, because he was the one being questioned.
"Lin Jun, our current test is twenty-three kilometers..." Xia Qing said quickly.
"How about armor-piercing rounds?"
Lin Tianchen's eyes flashed slightly. The 23-kilometer heavy artillery was enough for him. After all, among the heavy artillery in World War II, such a range was already the extreme.
However, the silence in response to his question gave Lin Tianchen the answer.
"I'll only give you one week. I don't care what method you use. Make a delayed fuse device, make an armor-piercing bullet, and then... mass-produce it... Also, have the anti-aircraft machine guns work overtime, and all other firearms and ammunition can be stopped... Focus on the production of anti-aircraft machine guns..."
Lin Tianchen's tone was full of seriousness. Strong ships and powerful guns were not just talk. Facing the steel behemoth of the large ship, what he had to do was to find the opponent and then sink it.
Now he has completely seen through the essence of this world: civilization on the surface, but barbarism in its bones.
The law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak is fully demonstrated in this world. Moreover, when fighting, as long as blood is shed and weakness is revealed, sharks will be attracted by the smell of blood and will be eaten by them.
Therefore, Lin Tianchen wanted to fight, but he absolutely could not let the Huben Army bleed on land.
"Don't worry, Commander. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely develop an armor-piercing bullet within a week..." Xia Qing clenched his fists and spoke in a firm tone.
The time was very tight, but he knew better that the Tiger Guards must have been forced into a desperate situation, which was why Lin Tianchen gave him such time.
"Everyone... never dream of getting anything you can't get on the battlefield at the negotiation table. The enemy won't give up until they realize they can't defeat us, that they'll suffer losses if they do... Just like the Japanese, they'll flee wherever we set foot... Just like John Country right now... they don't dare to start a fight in Tiange City!"
Lin Tianchen's tone was very heavy. He wanted the Tiger Guards to get through this most difficult period smoothly, but now the world's cake was being redistributed.
The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Negotiation is possible, but now facing the confident Eagle Sauce, how can the Eagle Sauce accept negotiation? And how much benefit do they have to give up to satisfy the other party's appetite?
Not to mention participating in the division of interests, even their Tiger Guards may become part of the interests.
This is the battlefield...
The outcome of a war without gunpowder will never be decided at the negotiating table, but outside the negotiating table.
"war!"
The command center's uniform voice resounded throughout the entire command center.
The scene of unity of will made Li Yunlong envious
Such a scene had never happened before, not only in an army group, but even when he was the head of a regiment.
"Are we really going to fight?" Li Gukai's tone was full of disbelief.
Thousands of ships, and they were led by an aircraft carrier formation. But hearing the determination in the tone, he knew very well that this battle might be unavoidable.
"Is there another fake fight..." Li Yunlong knew too well how tough Lin Tianchen was.
"But he is making an enemy of the world. After all, three kilometers beyond the sea line is a public area. The Huben Army cannot stand on the righteous ground..." Li Gukai exhaled lightly, sighed softly and spoke.
Navigation in public areas is something that everyone recognizes.
Li Yunlong's expression paused, and it was Ding Wei who couldn't help but shook his head.
"It's impossible that Lin Jun didn't consider this." Ding Wei was also full of helplessness about the twists and turns of this study.
Who could have imagined that the Tiger Guards in Diandi would fight wave after wave, but they had to fight, and he learned a lot about the overall situation from it.
It is impossible for Lin Tianchen not to understand the rules of the three-mile sea line, but he simply cannot think of how to deal with this rule.
"Zhang Danwu...Have you calculated the distance between the two sides of the Luliu Strait?"
"Thirty-one point four nautical miles counted."
"Pass on my order... announce to the world: for the safety of international navigation, we propose raising the sea line from three nautical miles to 15.8 nautical miles... effective immediately from the date of this proposal!"
Lin Tianchen knew very well that he could not let this fleet easily move from the Pacific Ocean to the Mengwan Sea. After all, although India's combat effectiveness was not good, this huge fleet cooperating with India would put them under tremendous pressure.
"From three nautical miles to fifteen point eight nautical miles?"
The entire command center fell silent for a moment. The staff officers of the Tiger Guards stared at Lin Tianchen with wide eyes in disbelief. Their understanding of the sea line had always been three nautical miles, but now it was suddenly changed by Lin Tianchen's words.
"The truth is only within the range of the cannon, execute it!!" Lin Tianchen didn't care about the shock of others, but spoke quickly.
"Yes!!"
The staff officers of the Huben Army were stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly. They lowered their heads and started working, but the slight trembling of their hands could not conceal the changes in their hearts.
Now, they truly understand that the truth is only within the range of cannons, and wherever the cannons can reach is their sea line.
Fifteen point eight nautical miles is not the limit of their artillery fire, but the distance between Lu Liu and them can feel Lin Tianchen's confidence from it.
"Change the sea line? This..." Li Gukai's expression was full of disbelief. He really couldn't imagine that with just one sentence, the three nautical miles was increased to fifteen point eight nautical miles.
This was promoted directly without consulting anyone?
Something that is universally recognized is denied by just this one sentence?
While Li Gukai couldn't believe it, he also felt his blood burning. After all, it was the West that had always been making the rules.
But now, with just one sentence, Lin Tianchen raised the three nautical miles to fifteen point eight nautical miles, which made him hope that he could have blind confidence in Lin Tianchen.
Because he really hopes that Lin Tianchen can win.
"Lin Tianchen..." Li Yunlong sighed softly in his heart. The gap between him and Lin Tianchen filled his heart with sadness.
Let him understand the truth that if Yu is born, Liang will be born.
The name Lin Tianchen had long taken on another meaning in his mind.
Dare to fight, dare to fight...
These are just labels of Lin Tianchen. More importantly, Lin Tianchen's waist has never been bent.
As long as the enemy dares to be tough, Lin Tianchen will be tougher than the enemy.
At Zhenhun Pass...the brigade fought 600 battles against the Japanese and earned the name of the Iron Regiment.
In Guiyang Mountain, he straightened his spine.
Now...sea hegemony...Li Yunlong didn't dare to think about it any further, because it was too big a problem. If Lin Tianchen rewrote it...
However, the difficulty of rewriting is extremely high. If it were someone else, Li Yunlong would definitely sneer at it.
But the person who said this was Lin Tianchen...
