The far distance is both fascinating and intimidating. Just like what the sages say, Yin is him and Yang is also him. The original things are mixed and innate. There is nothing wrong with this world, it just exists there.
After thinking about it for a while, Chai Shao found that he had some old-fashioned fear in his heart.
Chai Shaocai quickly shook his head, then stood up and left the prefect's office.
The most important thing at the moment is to manage the dangerous military affairs of the two great states of Rome and Arabia on Your Majesty's behalf. After all, if the Tang Dynasty...or should I say China, is gone, then there will be no use for America.
Chai Shao took a breath and already thought about how to collect intelligence in his mind...
It is not difficult to establish an intelligence chain, but what is difficult is to serve the military - then you must be one step ahead of others, and for Chai Shao, the first way to be one step ahead is of course the phone call.
As for how to use this phone specifically...
The first point is, first of all, in the military town in the southeast corner, in addition to the initial one, it is obvious that one can also be set up on the far west side.
There is a phone on one side. When the message is brought to the military town on the west side, it can be immediately conveyed to the military town on the east side. Then it will be brought to the Zhongzuo Station by boat, and then the message will be sent to His Majesty Li Er by phone from the Zhongzuo Station.
Because there is also a telephone on the southeast cliff, the time is much shorter than driving by ship.
On the ocean to the west in the southeast, there is another subcontinent and the Persian Gulf. Through the Persian Gulf, you can reach Africa in the north and learn about the movements of the Roman legions and the Arab Empire.
As for the distance in between, the Persian Gulf basically cannot be forcibly crossed by telephone copper wires. On the other hand, it should be thanked for this waterway, which is much more convenient and concealed than riding a horse.
However, in addition to the Persian Gulf, the existing commercial warehouses in the north and south of the subcontinent also have ready conditions, and copper telephone lines can be established on land to transmit military information.
Of course, this process will not go smoothly, and what’s even more terrible is...
With so many links, the information is often likely to be leaked.
Of course, this was the intelligence gathered from the two giants of Rome and Arabia. They were the ones who suffered the biggest losses when it was leaked. Datang suffered a small loss——
It's just a small loss, but it can't be considered a loss. After all, it's always been spying on the whereabouts of another strange and powerful empire. This must be difficult for Rome to accept. It's just that the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, and it can get away with pretending to be crazy and not admitting it.
.
If you get past it, the trust between the Tang Dynasty, Rome, and Arabia will be reduced, but...
Since the world is about to be in chaos anyway, and a big fight is expected anyway, then the problem of just peeking into the intelligence is just that.
Chai Shao's deployment was very thorough. After all, laying telephone lines was similar to a bodyguard business. It was a meticulous job.
Chai Shao quickly mobilized materials and things to transport to sea, and arranged various precautions with his troops.
Because the matter was so important, Chai Shao was still not at ease. After much thought, he decided to ask Ma Zhou to go to the subcontinent to supervise the matter in person...
Seeing no familiar person he could trust always made him feel uneasy, but at this moment Chai Shao discovered that Ma Zhou was missing.
Ma Zhou is also a senior general in the Forbidden Army who has experienced many tests and has a high level of education. He has always been highly regarded by Chai Shao and has been cultivated in every possible way. This time he was sent out to lay copper wires for communication with the intention of cultivating him.
As a result, the young man disappeared at this moment...
In this way, Chai Shao becomes a Muggle, which is really the first time in the world...
After asking, I found out that Ma Zhou had been transferred away hastily by Li Sheng.
This incident made Chai Shao somewhat dissatisfied. After all, Ma Zhou was already half his disciple, so how could he be transferred suddenly? He was still waiting for someone to be employed...
But in this case, Chai Shaowei thought for a moment, there was no one else available anyway - the other young man he liked was still in the hands of Li Jing, so he might as well just go to Li Sheng and complain.
After all, Zhongzuo Institute is not far from Hangzhou, especially now that there are internal combustion engine ships.
but……
Zhongzuo Institute is not far from Hangzhou, but... But Hangzhou is far away from another place, so it is very far...
…
"What?! Investigation team??"
Inside a restaurant in Hangzhou.
Chai Shao could hardly believe his ears.
I couldn't even believe my eyes, believing that the young man sitting in front of me was Li Sheng, the Marquis of Shengxiang.
This guy actually... actually...
Chai Shao learned the shocking news that Ma Zhou had been sent by Li Sheng to inspect America!
Even though Chai Shao was a veteran of Lingyan Pavilion and had served in the military all his life, he couldn't help but look horrified at this moment.
If he was still idle in the capital at this time, then it would be easy to say that he would just be a young man being requisitioned.
But at this moment, I have already been deeply involved in Datang's maritime management, and I know how difficult it is to sail on the sea.
I know more deeply that it is even more difficult to transport a sea ship from Hangzhou all the way to America!
However, at this moment, Li Sheng had an indifferent look on his face, pouring the wine and sipping it with leisurely time. There was no expression like "the old gentleman misheard what the junior said..." at all.
Chai Shao was stunned for a long time before he showed a dejected expression.
"Sigh... The old man was originally looking for Ma Zhou to do something this time, so he could have some wine with you, Shenghou, and talk about the general trend of the world... I didn't expect..."
As he spoke, Chai Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If you were still idle in the capital, you probably wouldn't have any reaction, right? The so-called distant America is just a more distant so-called "Penglai Fairy Island".
But now the situation is different. Chai Shaoke knows very well what the concept of "America" is - this sea territory is so far away, and the difficulty of reaching it is almost as difficult as when he unified the world in the past.
When young people go here, I'm afraid it's nine...
However, Li Sheng seemed to be aware of Chai Shao's emotions, and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Chai doesn't have to worry about this, because it's not just the scientific expedition team that goes to sea. They don't go to sea together in a big boat."
"Oh? That's... wait, could it be a boat?!"
Chai Shao was also drinking at this time, but after listening to Li Sheng's words, he almost sprayed all over the table.
Isn't it child's play to go to seas as far away as "America" by taking a small boat?
"Of course not." Li Sheng smiled slightly, "There is a shipping company, and they plan to go. Because they found me, I took the initiative to build a internal combustion engine ship to take them there."
"Maritime merchants?" Chai Shao felt a little unbelievable, "Maritime merchants... these merchants are only interested in profit, but what profit can they gain from going to America?"
Li Sheng shook his head when he heard this, "These maritime merchants come from all over China, and quite a few of them want to get rich... But not all merchants want to make money. I will do it myself. As for Ma Bin
