Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The East Asian intelligence network that Xiao Letian had set up was indeed an unusual one in the 19th century. The undersea telegraph network net that was made up of a lot of money, along with countless carefully trained spy ships, had formed a skynet on the sea.

In an era where there was no radio, this kind of communication mode combining human and cable had indeed reached the forefront of the era. At least from a strategic point of view, Xiao Letian placed great importance on it, to the point where it surpassed British Empire.

There seemed to be no value in the sea's innumerable sparsely populated islands, but there was often a telegraph station, and the cables under the sea were far from being what the Europeans had imagined, single or several, but were based on the island division's netted coastal areas covering the Great Qing.

Every island that had a transceiver would be equipped with more than two small spy ships, which ensured that they would be able to communicate with each other within a hundred kilometers of the island.

It was because there were countless such telegraph bases and countless camouflaged spy ships supporting them, that Xiao Letian, who was on the high seas, was able to take control of the situation and issue new orders in time.

This kind of communication method was obviously inefficient, but everything had to be compared, it was better than nothing. Xiao Letian had this set of communication system that was primitive and backward, but don't forget that in East Asia, even British Navy didn't have this system to guarantee communication.

Not to mention the Russian Expeditionary Force, all they could do was to conduct a huge amount of intelligence gathering at the seaport that had communication support, and then begin to revise their plans to advance or fight. Once the fleet left the harbor, they would be completely blind. No matter what happened during the battle, they would have to follow the plan they had set up and charge forward.

With preparation and without preparation, with a perfect eyesight, it was certain that Russian would lose.

The Russian Minister Hall in Beijing had always been under the supervision of the CIA's Enclave of the Capital, and the telegraph line in particular had been monitored by people 24 hours a day.

The telegraph communication password that Russian Minister Ulangeli sent to the outside world had long been deciphered by the Chinese, so the Russian Minister Hall was now transparent to the CIA.

When the telegrams from Moscow reached Beijing, the surveillance team decoded the messages as quickly as possible and sent them to Ryukyu headquarters.

When the headquarters saw this heavyweight information, they did not dare to delay and contact Wang Huaiyuan, the first person in authority, and only Wang Huaiyuan's group could contact Xiao Letian, who was on the high seas above.

A telegram flew for thousands of miles and landed in Xiao Letian's hands, the number of people used was more than just 100, the amount of money used was more than 10,000! But all of them were worth it. When Xiao Letian saw the top secret characters on the message, he slapped his thigh, "Memory! Remember to pay a great contribution to Chun Sanshiniang's team! "

"Xiang Ying! "Hurry up, we have to get to the nearest telegraph station, I need to contact..."

"What happened? Do we have a right to know? " Xiang Ying asked nervously.

Xiao Letian hesitated slightly: "There's a big fish in Russian Expeditionary Force! It was a big fish that I hadn't even thought of before … Damn it, Alexander II's future brother-in-law is actually here! "

"Find him! Capture him alive! "This is our bargaining chip in the future …"

With a single sentence, everyone became excited, Lin Zhen and Jin Sanshun rubbed their hands together and started punching each other, trying to vent the excitement in their hearts. "Really? The heavens have truly blessed us, sending us fat sheep for free! "

Xiao Letian carefully searched through the memory banks of his previous life. He had a faint impression that the original Queen of Alexander II had died a long time ago, with a weak body. Before she died, the Tsar had already had an affair with Kathleen, who was said to have a very ancient noble name with influence in Sha Russia.

If this young man called Akson fell into Xiao Letian's hands, the Tsar's chances of winning the future negotiations would naturally increase.

But there was one more worry. If this young man was killed in this war … Then it was hard to say whether the tsar would fall into madness, and whether the hatred of the nation would be mixed together.

"Hurry, accelerate!" This war is so f * cking hard to fight! "

The war between the Chinese and the Russian was indeed the hardest battle of Xiao Letian's generation, there was no need to talk about the brutality of the battle, the key point was that he had to take care of the priority, let the enemy be afraid but not let him fall into a crazed hysteria, this kind of strength was really not easy to grasp.

The Chinese wanted a ticket to the club. Not only did they want to get a ticket to the club, they didn't want the whole club to reject or even gang up on them.

In the end, Xiao Letian had to play the role of a civilized bandit in front of the English and French, America, Russia, Prussia and other countries. A big cake like Earth that could obey the unwritten rules between bandits and then have the ability to divide it up.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted and the other strong warriors to agree to go up to the table to eat cake with him. Let alone dividing the cake from the beginning, they would need to get the rights to get the cake from him.

If the smell of blood on him was too strong and he wanted to flip the table the moment it came out, then these bandits would not give him the chance to do so. They would join forces to kill this new guy.

"I have to hurry to the Amami Oshima. I will not be personally watching this battle, it's really worrisome …"

Just as Xiao Letian was feeling worried, the Russian Army that was attacking on Tangwan Mountain had already started his third bombardment, which was the last line Xiao Hexin was going to use to allow the Black Turtle Fourth Battalion to retreat.

However, no one had expected that the third round of bombardment would be so fierce and lethal.

Boom … Boom … Boom … The sound of the cannon was completely different from the field gun from before. The sound was incomparably heavy, as if thunder had pressed down on the horizon.

The screeching sound of the artillery shell flying through the air also changed. The veterans clearly felt that the trajectory of the artillery shell was much higher, because the sound was not as sharp as the one from before.

What followed was a loud bang above the heads of the crowd. The permanent shelter of the reinforced concrete was blown up into a cloud of smoke and dust, and the ground began to shake violently.

"Damn it, what cannon is this? "Why is it so powerful …"

"A mortar-a mortar-it must be a !" At the top of the mountain, Xiao Hexin dropped his binoculars and ordered, "Have Chu Zhao and the others prepare to retreat. The concrete structure of the A word library Fortress is very fragile, these kind of cannons cannot defend against!"

The mortars, a very primitive stronghold run, were also the forerunners of later generations of mortars. The main purpose of this kind of cannon with close range and powerful firepower is to attack the city.

The trajectory of the cannons used to attack the A word library Fortress was very straight. When they attacked the A word library Fortress, they would directly blast the wall in front of them, but the trajectory of the cannons used was crooked, and the cannons could fly high into the sky and then fall from the sky to attack the weak roof of the fort.

This was the weakness of the A word library Fortress.
