People have forgotten the night. The night is no longer there. On this day, the night disappears!
On this day, mankind conquered the night!
This night, the entire Zhuque Street is bright!
The bright lights illuminated the entire street, turning it into daylight.
This is the real city that never sleeps!
Under the bright lights, people looked at it excitedly, and people talked about electricity and lights in surprise. This is magic, this is a miracle!
At 12 o'clock in the night, people still didn't want to leave. I heard people shouting everywhere:
"Race the moon, race the moon!"
This is a title that cannot be more Chinese. Walking leisurely in the bright moonlight, standing by the balcony, looking at the people who have been unwilling to leave for a long time, Zhu Xianhai's mood is heavy. Electric lights, generators and other corresponding equipment will be in the next ten years.
He didn't know how much wealth it would bring to Nanhua.
But what is certain is that capitalists around the world will be cheering because they can finally squeeze workers further.
This... is the price of progress!
The long sigh coming from the balcony made Maria walk over. Looking at Zhu Xianhai who was standing by the window with a solemn expression, she asked softly.
"What's wrong? Isn't today a happy day?"
Maria asked.
"With electric lights, the night will no longer be complicated. The whole world will remember today, just like what you said at the banquet today - the whole world will remember that electric lights are a gift from the Chinese nation to the people of the world!
"
There is nothing wrong with saying that. Edison improved the electric light, and Nanhua's laboratory also improved the electric light. Perhaps Henry Liu, that is, Henry Gobel, invented the electric light, but his electric light was primitive and backward. It was from Nanhua.
Chinese technicians improved the electric light. So it is a gift from the Chinese nation to the world.
"This gift..."
Zhu Xianhai sighed.
"It has its good side, and of course it has its bad side."
"The bad side? What is it?"
Maria said in surprise.
"That's it... workers will have to work overtime from now on!"
Compared with the blessing of working overtime, the changes brought by electric lights to human society are also obvious. The blessing is just one of them. After Zhu Xianhai changed the topic.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Maria, your brother has sent someone again!"
"He..."
Maria smiled, her bright eyes curved into crescent moons.
"His life is indeed difficult now. Qi Lian is about to fall. Considering his character, now is the time to negotiate terms with him."
Maria, who comes from a political family, knows very well what politics is. Politics itself is a game for the winner, and this game is devoid of any emotions.
Even if that person is her brother, so what?
In the face of the country and its political interests, such family ties are not worth mentioning.
"Chile..."
Walking up to the man, Maria whispered into his ear in an extremely coquettish tone,
"My dear, conquer there just like you conquered me!"
Zhu Xianhai's heart skipped a beat as he exhaled softly. He held the woman's waist forcefully and whispered into her ear.
"as you wish……"
…
Just after the first lunar month, a steam locomotive rumbled out of Nanhua, running all the way westward on the grasslands. In just one day, the train entered the Andes Mountains.
As the train swayed around a curved section of the mountain track, the iron wheels on the track rattled regularly. Most of the people in the carriage were sitting there, staring at the large military map.
They have been proofreading Chile's attack plan. At present, the plan has reached the final implementation stage. Some of these staff officers are smoking silently, and some are writing scattered and incoherent plans, waiting to start again.
Is it easy to conquer a country?
It's definitely not easy.
In fact, since Napoleon, no country in the white world has been conquered by a foreign country.
And now they are going to conquer Chile!
This is a great achievement that has never been achieved since the time of Napoleon!
From the day they started making plans, they had an unprecedented sense of mission and a sense of being part of a great cause.
Destroy other people’s countries!
I wonder if that soldier doesn't want to achieve such a great feat. This is definitely the most proud moment in their lives. Of course, the premise is that if it succeeds, if it fails, then they will become a joke and the laughing stock of the whole world.
"According to the information we have, the current population of Chile is about 1.7 million, of which the population in the south is about 200,000, 75% of which live in rural areas, and the remaining 400,000 live in cities, including 170,000 in Santiago.
At present, the Chilean army is about 45,000 people, while the Chilian interim government has 10,000 troops. At present, they are just barely maintaining their defense line. In the past year, they have lost 70% of their land and more than half of their population. If we do not
If intervention occurs, Bernardo Riquelme's failure is inevitable..."
When Heisenberg introduced the situation in Chile, Zhu Xianhai just smoked his cigar, and then occasionally turned his eyes to the map.
"Do you really think we can beat them?"
He asked. In fact, the answer is obvious. Maybe South China's population is not as good as that of Chile, but its military strength has a crushing advantage over intelligence.
"I am convinced that militarily, the Chilean army is no match for us. Colonel, please introduce us."
Colonel Hofpu, whose name was mentioned, walked to the map, pointed at it and said.
"Currently, 70% of the Chilean army is in the Chilian area. After several years of training, their combat effectiveness has indeed surpassed that of the past. However, as we all know, this army is still a relatively backward army. Our initial plan is to receive troops
After receiving the invitation, we will send eight regiments, that is, 24,000 troops, to attack through the front, and then detour back to their flanks to encircle the Chilean army, thereby wiping them out under Chilian City. We are convinced that after such a victory,
, the doors of Santiago will be open to us.”
After a pause, Colonel Hofpu said again.
"Then, our armored trains will escort the troops directly to the city of Santiago along the railway line. Before the Chileans can carry out general mobilization, we will end this battle by occupying the capital, just as the commander-in-chief requested - with lightning speed.
The speed to defeat the enemy and end the war before it can react!"
Blitzkrieg, a concept proposed by Zhu Xianhai, uses a sudden attack to defeat the enemy and use mechanized troops to quickly cut off the enemy's main force to achieve the desired effect.
Is it possible to implement a blitzkrieg in this era? For example, their plan is to use the railway to break through. Taking advantage of the speed of the railway, they can attack Huanglong before the enemy can react!
What's the biggest problem?
When they explained the steps to implement the plan, Zhu Xianhai just listened carefully. He could come up with a concept, but he would not intervene in the actual combat command. Professional matters should be left to professional personnel.
"railway!"
Colonel Hofpu said again.
"One factor that is currently hindering the plan is how to ensure the smooth flow of the railway lines along the way and how to ensure that the railway will not be damaged by the Chilean army or railway workers."
