He frowned and asked: "Mr. Li Hongtian, what is this railway you are talking about?"
Li Hongtian was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and forgot that there are no railways in Europe yet.
There is no steam train, this kind of thing only exists in Longyan.
I have never heard of it, let alone seen it elsewhere.
Thinking of this, Li Hongtian explained: "A railway is actually a steam train. You can think of it as a much enlarged carriage, its operating road."
"It's called railroad."
"This kind of transportation can..."
Li Hongtian talked for more than half an hour before he explained to General Victor what railways and steam trains were.
After hearing this, Victor, although he didn't understand much, was greatly shocked.
"You Long Yan have already made a carriage with a steam engine?"
Li Hongtian sighed and said, "You can understand it this way."
Victor was even more shocked. It must be said that Long Yan's scientific research power is still powerful, and he can actually make a carriage that runs on a steam engine.
This sounds really amazing.
"But what is the use of such a thing?" Victor asked doubtfully.
Li Hongtian only had a two-word answer to Victor's question: "Transport people."
"Transporting people?" Victor was stunned.
The carriage can also transport people, but it can only transport four people.
"How many people can this kind of thing transport?" Victor asked casually.
"It can probably transport more than a thousand people at a time." Li Hongtian replied casually.
Victor was stunned at that time, stood up suddenly and stared into Li Hongtian's eyes.
"You said this thing can transport a thousand people at a time?" Victor looked at him in disbelief.
Li Hongtian nodded with certainty.
Victor was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.
It can transport a thousand people at a time. If this is used on the battlefield to export troops, wouldn't it be invincible?
Victor couldn't help but daydream.
After reverie, he looked at Li Hongtian and realized that it would definitely not be easy for the Longyan people to build such a transportation line in Austria.
"What do you want to do with Longyan? Are you willing to build such a good thing in Austria?"
Li Hongtian had already thought about how to answer: "General Victor, I am here just to discuss business cooperation with Austria. You can rest assured that this railway will never be used to endanger Austria's security."
Victor sneered: "Mr. Li Hongtian, the question now is not whether this railway will endanger our security in Austria."
"Rather, why do I need to agree to your Long Yan building a railway in Austria?"
"After all, in the long term, the existence of this railway will accelerate our development in Austria."
"For you Long Yan, it will do almost all harm but no good."
"I am deeply suspicious of your motives for doing this."
Li Hongtian did not continue to speak, and Victor's suspicion was reasonable.
It sounds very unrealistic for railways, a transportation tool that can change the times, to be built in a hostile country.
After all, after the construction, judging from the current results, Austria has actually gained more benefits.
Longyan not only had to spend money to build the railway, but also spent a lot of time and manpower.
But then again.
If Long Yan wants to use troops against Austria, such a means of transportation may change the battlefield pattern.
Victor took this into consideration and had to guard against it!
