Chapter Forty-Three: Traveling Around the Countries
At 17:00 pm on February 29th, at the Korean-Japanese General Headquarters, "Bagaya Road..." Commander Nishi Sakata's command knife had been cutting down trees in the yard outside the headquarters for more than ten minutes.
Lost, lost! Lost! The last Japanese 3rd Division and 6th Brigade, under the command of Chief of Staff Major General Yamamoto 11, still could not hold on. They could no longer wait for domestic troop transport ships.
These were the last words of Commander Nishi Sakata.
Shame, this is the great shame of the Japanese Imperial Army. Five field divisions were completely wiped out, and they were wiped out by the new army led by a child less than thirteen years old. For the new Korean army, the Japanese army was the most important
The impression is that they don't know whether to live or die. A newly formed team composed of a large number of recruits in less than a year destroyed five Japanese field divisions in Korea.
Originally, in Nishisakadada's view, the Army Ministry's massive dispatch of troops to Korea would be able to resolve all the battles between Japan and the Qing Dynasty. However, the result turned out to be that the new army was completely annihilated by the new army in just three days. Five divisions plus cavalry and artillery.
, 60,000 people were killed in three days, and 20,000 people were killed in one day.
Nishisaka took a few deep breaths and looked at the sun flag hanging on the roof of the headquarters. After standing silently for a long time, he returned to his war room and never came out again.
But at this moment, it is early morning on the other side of the earth, and the mist makes the Wessel Shipyard in Germany look like a dream. Li Ningyu, who has been staying here for a few days, will start preparing for the next step of his journey today.
It has been a month and a half since he set off from Port Arthur a month ago. Plus the time spent wandering around Germany, Li Ningyu still has a long way to go.
When he arrived, Li Ningyu brought three large cargo ships. At this time, one ocean-going cargo ship had already unloaded cargo and filled up machinery and equipment in Germany and returned. Then Li Ningyu took the other two ships to the United Kingdom and France.
At this time, the German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz was already locked in a small room in the warehouse. However, Hertz was not a great scientist at this time, and Li Ningyu's actions were relatively
It was secret, but in the next few days, Li Ningyu tried to persuade Hertz. If Li Ningyu's persuasion was ineffective, he would have no choice but to ruthlessly kill him.
Radio technology is a technology that spreads signals through radio waves. In fact, there is still a lot of controversy in later generations about who is the inventor of radio stations. However, regarding the use of radio, Li Ningyu knows that this is a secret weapon that must be controlled in his hands, just like
Rare earth.
In March 1885, Hertz transferred to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology on the southwest border of Germany as a professor in the physics department, and then began his electrical experiments. However, the experimental funds of primary schools at that time were pitiful, but he
But he built a sophisticated electromagnetic laboratory bit by bit. Professor Dole, who also taught trigonometry, admired him and introduced his daughter Elizabeth to him.
Elizabeth didn't understand electromagnetic waves, but she knew that this man who was seeking the truth in science was also sincere and frank. They got married within four months of meeting each other. Hertz was twenty-nine years old at the time, and he found the destination of love and started a romantic relationship.
The most famous research in his life, but then Hertz's whole family was taken away by Li Ningyu.
At first, Li Ningyu wanted to threaten him with force, but he was surprised to find that the Hertz family was not afraid of Li Ningyu at all. Instead, they were very interested in the electromagnetic theory mentioned by Li Ningyu. Then on the freighter, Li Ningyu
He made a proposed electromagnetic wave generator based on the principle that his only capacitor would oscillate through electric sparks. Hertz was instantly stunned by Li Ningyu's theory.
In the following days, Hertz sat in a dark room on the freighter and began his electromagnetic experiments. As a result, he discovered the frequency of the oscillator, measured the wavelength of the standing wave with a detector, and then calculated the propagation speed of the electromagnetic wave.
After five days of experiments, Hertz succeeded, and this was just the beginning.
Because only Li Ningyu swore that electromagnetic waves can pass through the air and are not affected by ordinary things, and the source of this theory is the basis of radio. Later, Li Ningyu also proposed to Hertz, asking him to pay attention to when charged objects are illuminated by ultraviolet light.
It will quickly lose its charge when it is used, and Hertz discovered the photoelectric effect. Li Ningyu could not give a reasonable explanation.
However, after a few days of getting along, it became clear that the Hertz family all have an extreme admiration for science, and Li Ningyu's extraordinary performance from time to time has made a huge change in the family who originally looked down on Li Ningyu, and everything became smoother afterwards.
, then according to the request of the Hertz family, Li Ningyu purchased a large amount of experimental equipment in the UK, and the cost was even more astonishing, because it cost more than 1 million pounds, equivalent to 1.5 million taels of silver, but Li Ningyu did not feel any pain at all.
.
Because science is priceless, although Li Ningyu's current capital is still very limited, but for his desire for radio, Li Ningyu still gritted his teeth and bought everything the Hertz family needed. Li Ningyu's strong support for Hertz naturally won the loyalty of the Hertz family.
, because they feel that with the equipment provided by Li Ningyu, Hertz's research can make breakthroughs in a short time.
Six months ago, Li Ningyu's special cigars and cigarettes flowed into Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. After half a year of preparation, there was already a large group of people who eat, and these people are all high-ranking officials and nobles. This time Li Ningyu
More cigars and cigarettes were brought with the ship, and the prices began to rise. In the end, Li Ningyu's huge expenses along the way were finally covered, and about 5 tons of gold were also taken away.
Along the way, Li Ningyu continued to take away some famous scientists. According to Li Ningyu's approach and the character of a scientific madman, Li Ningyu promised them to provide them with the best scientific research equipment and to take good care of their families, so
Many civilian scientists joined Li Ningyu's camp. While the cargo was being unloaded, Li Ningyu also accidentally obtained a cruiser that was about to be retired.
Although the cruiser, which has been in service for 8 years, has been damaged in many places, after three months of overhaul and modification at the shipyard, Li Ningyu still took it back with him. At the same time, Li Ningyu gave it a new name, that is
Yangtze River No. 7.
The original propulsion device was replaced with a new power system, the original 285mm three-shot main gun was replaced by a 205mm, and the torpedo system was completely removed. The original cruising speed was increased from 18 knots to 22 knots.
Li Ningyu was very satisfied with this point, because he knew that in a large sea battle, speed determines everything.
