Chapter 1284 Spy Plan
When Roland received this report jointly signed by the top leaders of the First Army and the General Staff Department, he immediately thought of the classic plots of those spy movies.
Obviously this is a highly feasible solution.
He even thought more about it than Edith did.
Although the profession of espionage has existed since ancient times and has been called by different names in different periods, the concepts and images it is familiar with did not gradually take shape until World War I and World War II. Most of the previous information transmission was a simple two-line connection, and no strict system was developed. It only became complex and systematic as government agencies gained greater control over the people they governed, making it increasingly difficult for spies and spies to survive.
This also means that the loose control system with feudal lords as rulers cannot fundamentally eradicate the existence of spies. As long as the espionage personnel are trained in some basic professional knowledge and the upper and lower lines are cut off, and according to their weak counterintelligence awareness and methods, even if they search the whole city, they will not be able to find the tail of the lurking person.
After all, for those downlines who provide information, the upline is simply a shadowy figure they have never seen before. If it were Nightingale who interrogated them, they wouldn't be able to find out anything.
Roland immediately approved the plan.
However, he does not intend to leave the matter completely in Edith's hands. This has nothing to do with trust, but that espionage requires a lot of energy to plan and arrange. He values Northland Pearl's strategy and the overall thinking that is extremely rare in this era. , if you spend your energy on this kind of thing, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Professional matters can be left to professionals.
He spread out a new piece of letter paper and wrote Hill Fox's name on the letterhead.
The political situation in Chenxi has been basically stable. The circus director must be a little bored now, right?
After asking Nightingale to deliver the letter to Honey, Roland began to think about another thing.
That's the intelligence network.
At the beginning, the news he had to deal with, whether it was war or political affairs, was basically limited to the territory of Graycastle. Since the expedition to Taquila, there has been an obvious delay in flying couriers. Fortunately, at that time, the Seagull glider could travel to and from the front line in one day, so it was acceptable as a supplementary delivery.
But now that the main battlefields have become Wolf Heart and Everwinter, the inconvenience of communication has become particularly prominent.
For example, the report at hand was delivered to me by sea, but the payment date was a week ago. It would be much faster to reply using an animal messenger, but it still takes two or three days. What's more critical is that Mi Tang doesn't have much control over a messenger that can fly long distances of more than a thousand kilometers - after all, she can only make animals obey her orders, but she can't change their inherent habits.
What's more, even for short-distance messengers, there is an upper limit on the number. The magic power of honey is not enough to support the communication needs of the entire Western Territory, let alone the whole country and abroad. When those spies start operating, how to transmit the intelligence back safely and quickly is also a major problem that needs to be solved urgently.
Roland knew in his heart that the ultimate solution was wireless communication.
Although the principle of wired telegraphy is simpler, it is limited by line attenuation and is not essentially different from the telephones used today. Even if the distance is doubled, it will only be one hundred kilometers. If it is longer, repeaters must be added - such as vacuum tubes. A type of thing that can amplify signals.
The problem was that if he could build a vacuum tube, radio would no longer be out of reach. You must know that there is no concept of electromagnetic pollution in this era. Modulated electromagnetic waves are simply like the cry of a baby in the silent night. As long as a transmitting antenna is set up on the desperate mountains, it is not difficult to transmit it for thousands of kilometers.
If a wireless telegraph can be successfully produced, reports from the front line can be sent to his desk in just a few minutes. If one goes a step further and can equip the entire army with portable wireless telegraphs, its strategic significance will be no less than that of the Dawn Project.
Of course, everything is clear. As for what to do specifically, he had no clue.
Maybe it's time to find more projects for the Graycastle Design Bureau, Roland thought to himself.
…
After entering the dream world at night, he first saw off Jie Luo who was going to school, and then drove to the Sanye construction site in the southern suburbs of the city.
I have to say that Jiade is indeed a very cheerful businessman. Whatever he agrees to will be implemented as soon as possible. The other party not only handed over the management of the factory to him, but also provided a set of maintenance services as a gift, including repainting the rusty walls and columns, replacing new office equipment, etc., without any intention of perfunctory.
If Sanye Group hadn't been unwilling to give up the land in Tongzilou Community, Roland would have liked to have more dealings with such people.
He parked the car and found something strange in the open space outside the factory. Usually few people visited it, but today there were many construction workers.
At the same time, he also heard a series of dull roars and the unique sound of mechanical reciprocating impact.
Roland walked quickly through the crowd, and saw a strange-looking crawler machine appear in his field of vision - obviously this machine was still a semi-finished product, and only the chassis part was completed. If you just look at the crawler tracks and road wheels, it doesn't have much Something special. The reason why it attracts the attention of construction workers is entirely because of the abrupt steam piston system above it and another tractor that provides steam for it.
Seeing this scene, Roland couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that this is the method that Master Xie came up with - in order to minimize the impact of the imaginary boiler and water tank, he installed all this equipment on another tractor. During the test, the two must run in parallel so that the steam engine can run. . From the perspective of outsiders, it is equivalent to a tractor not only ensuring that it can move, but also providing power to another experimental product. It is quite similar to a "solar flashlight" that only lights up when there is light, but never lights up when there is no light. .
"Ahem...Boss, you're here." Master Xie seemed to think it looked stupid, and said hello with a slight embarrassment.
Roland, however, praised without any concern, "Well done, this is exactly what I wanted!"
He comes to the factory almost every other week to check on the progress. When he last came, the tractor in the plan only had an empty frame. This time, it can already run on its own, which shows that the other party has really put a lot of effort into the project.
"Yes...really?" Master Xie touched his bald head, "Are you sure your collector friends will be interested in this kind of thing?"
"The main body parts of the test product are all processed using factory lathes, right?"
"Yes, I can guarantee this." Master Xie hurriedly rubbed his hands and said, "But the other tractor, boiler, water tank and other equipment were all bought second-hand and cost almost three hundred thousand yuan... …”
"Money is not an issue," Roland said with a big wave of his hand. Anyway, there was someone to support him. "As long as it is handmade, my friend will definitely buy it. Work hard, and when the business is completed, I will reward you with one more month's salary." !”
