Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The middle leaf of the nineteenth century was precisely the era when telegraph line s began to expand rapidly around the world. However, it took half a century for humans to reach the true global connection from the invention of telegraphic technique s.

In real history, the success of the telegraphic technique in the laboratory was personally achieved by the American scientist Morse in 1837, and then in 1843 Morse, with the financial support of the United States Congress, built a 64 kilometer long practical telegraph line, which was the beginning of his popularization phase.

However, at that time, telegraph line could only expand their footsteps on land with great difficulty. The deep ocean was a gulf that telegraph line could not overcome. Until 1850, when the first Underwater telegraph line was laid between the English and French s to start the era of information conquest, and then in 1866, when the transatlantic telegraph line successfully was laid between Britain and the United States, it signified that the communication technology of humans could conquer the deep blue.

The successful installation of the Pacific Ocean Undersea Cable represented the official connection of the Global Undersea Cable Network, which was to be completed in 1903.

Don't underestimate the promotion of telegraphic technique. Xiao Letian was unusually sensitive to telegraphic technique, because he knew that the sixty years he had spent from 1837 to 1903 was just a flash in the pan.

Because of the backwardness of the message, it was very difficult for the global campaign to form a united flag. Whether it was Britain or France, once the conquest troops sent out, everything would be left to God to decide.

Forget about directly commanding the army in the country, even the specific positions of the troops had to be guessed, just like the two times where Expeditionary forces s fought in the Opium Wars, from the beginning to the end, there was a strong opposition from within the British Parliament, and even if they won, the country could not directly intervene in the negotiations, many of the treaties were negotiated by the ministers and generals of the army, everything was primitive and crude.

It was because the global telegraph network was just established that Xiao Letian had a very good entry point. He was able to invest in the global telegraph network in advance, and not only would he be able to get a share of the profits from the future, he would also be able to obtain a high point from the intelligence wars that belonged to the Chinese.

A very simple example was the telegraph communication between the Haishenwai and Moscow, which had to pass through the area controlled by Xiao Letian. The Russian sent the information from North Korea to Beijing, and then Beijing sent the information to Hong Kong, where it was transferred to the telegraph network of Southeast Asia, and then to the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, and then to the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.

This created the best opportunity for Ryukyu to intercept him. Russian's actions in the Far East were completely transparent to him.

In fact, this was the case for the Russia. The British, French and American embassies in Beijing were also under the supervision of the Ryukyu.

To Xiao Letian, the period before the Globe telegraph network Channel was completed was actually the last chance for the weak nations to rise. Once the Europeans entered the era of intelligence sharing, all the resources in the entire colonial world would be mobilized.

In just one or two hours, the Prime Minister of London would be able to see that the Russia and the Russia had clashed. In less than three hours, the entire world would know about it.

All the intelligence personnel in the world shared a big net, so the military actions of any nation could not escape the eyes of the strong.

By that time, it would be impossible to rely on a small investment to make a big return on military adventures. In the 20th century, humans gradually entered a period where they were competing purely for industrial power. There weren't that many legends in war, only the last bit of national power to be squeezed out.

It was in such a context that the future United States rose.

It was because Xiao Letian was familiar with the profound impact that the information technology's revolution had on human society, that he had seized every opportunity to benefit himself. The information he sent to the South America today was an important judgement aimed at the current global situation.

Xiao Letian's top secret information had gone from the Ryukyu to Hong Kong via the Great Clear Land telegraph line, and finally to Britain through South Asia, India, and the Middle East. From there, he directly travelled to the North America, and then down through Mexico, Central America, Colombia, and the Peru.

It would take a whole week to send and receive such a telegram, which was extremely precious to Tang Lei and the others.

When Xiao Letian had released the telegram, he did not know about Ikek's great victory and Zhiyuan Warship's participation in the battle.

Firstly, the Taiping Army had to increase the scale of the war, and not just acquire a single Ikek, he had to imagine a war where swords, spears, and horses would be sent to the treasury. The intensity of the war needed to be increased continuously, and it would be best to take over the capital of the Peru.

Tang Lei and Tie Toutuo looked at each other, nodded their heads and then tore the first part of the message apart.

The two of them lowered their voices and said, "Looks like the Prime Minister's side is under a lot of pressure?" We cannot let English and French devote all of his attention to Ryukyu, we should help the Prime Minister split a portion of the attention … "

Looking at the second option, the South America Branch had to prepare the Zhiyuan Warship warship. Xiao Letian did not know that the Zhiyuan Warship had violated the rules and participated in the battle, he had thought that the Zhiyuan Warship would still be silently sailing in the ocean.

The two of them shook their heads with bitter smiles, each taking half the second piece of information and devouring it as well! "How did you know that although that Xiang Ying brat looked like a scholar on the surface, his bones are the same as the Dragon Lord's, they were both bold and ruthless. He singled out the entire Peruvian Navy, it was too late for you to order him around …"

Then looking at the third rule, Xiao Letian asked the South America Intelligence Division to mobilize the resources to invest in the Dahuangdi, especially to increase the construction of the docks and other Infrastructure. They also requested them to organize an expedition into the South Pacific to find as many islands as possible.

If the conditions permit, a suitable group of people can be left on some habitable islands, the ultimate goal is to form an island chain on the South Pacific, but in the early stages it must be demilitarized to avoid provoking the British.

The third part of the telegram had been swallowed up as well. The two of them imprinted each word of the prime minister's order into their hearts. "It seems like we have to get busy again. It's so refreshing to follow the prime minister. There will always be new surprises waiting for us!"
