Chapter 1107 Everything Is Ready
Tongguan.
When Tusman, Britain and Russia were making peace in Akara, a series of steam locomotives carrying ammunition and baggage arrived here.
These baggage will be handed over to the camel caravan led by Colin, who will be responsible for transporting the supplies to Ebony City.
"So, this is a steam locomotive!" At this moment, Colin was bringing three kings of Yuan Wangzhang who surrendered to Dasong to check the number of baggage.
Looking at the steam locomotives that were emitting white smoke and looked like steel behemoths, they were all shocked and stood still for a long time.
On the way back, the generals of the Central Army told them that Dasong's baggage would be transported by steam locomotives, and they didn't believe in this thing.
Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he really had no doubts. .
At the same time, he and the other three people secretly wiped a cold sweat.
Fortunately, they made a well-informed decision.
Because before they entered Tongguan, they found that the railway in Tongguan had extended to the grassland.
Once these steel behemoths run on the grassland, Dasong will be able to deliver troops and supplies in a very short time.
At that time, they, Beidi, will still lose, and will lose more miserably.
Thinking of this, they are even more afraid of Dasong, and they can't even have a trace of disrespect in their hearts.
After handing over the first batch of ammunition supplies, Colin immediately ordered a part of the camel caravan to set off.
Within a month, the ammunition arrived and was sent to Ebony City.
At the same time.
All aspects of the situation in Tianzhu and Zhongtu also flew into Zhao Xu's imperial study like snowflakes.
Combining all kinds of intelligence, Zhao Xu believes that the time has come to launch an attack on Tianzhu.
"The next direction of intelligence collection will focus on Zhongtu." Zhao Xu said to Xu Ke.
This intelligence is provided by the Fourth Supervisory Institute.
After the main contradiction faced by Dasong shifted from domestic to foreign, the function of the Fourth Supervisory Institute gradually shifted from an institution similar to Jinyiwei to an institution similar to MI6 and KGB.
Their battlefield will no longer be limited to Dasong in the future, but will also be distributed in every battlefield outside Dasong.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Ke replied.
Then, he thought of something and said, "Your Majesty, I think the Silver Fox Project should be launched. Although it is difficult to collect intelligence from Tianzhu and Zhongtu, it is still possible. However, it is difficult to grasp the intelligence of the Western Territory, especially the deeper intelligence."
"Silver Fox Project?" Zhao Xu thought about it and then reacted.
Two years ago, he asked Xu Ke to go to Australia, which is now Nanzhanzhou, to find some abandoned orphans and train them to become spies.
In the future, these spies will be sent to the Western Territory to serve as spies for Dasong.
This plan is the Silver Fox Project.
After all, if you know yourself, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.
The confrontation between Dasong and the Western Territory may continue for a long time in the future.
He needs to accurately grasp the changes from the Western Territory.
And because the people of Dasong and the Western Territory look very different and are far apart.
It is difficult for them to understand each other, which makes it even more necessary to implement the Silver Fox Project.
"I will give you a handwritten order to let Zhou Yi cooperate with you." Zhao Xu said.
The last step of the Silver Fox Plan is to send these spies to the mainland of the Western Region.
This will be implemented through the navy's warships.
Now that Dasong has an ironclad ship, it is just right to extract one to send these spies.
In this way, even if the ironclad ship encounters the opponent's patrol warship, it can sink it and complete the mission.
Even if it encounters a large-scale fleet and cannot defeat it, it can still escape with the power of the ironclad ship.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Ke's eyes flashed with excitement.
He has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and this is more challenging for him.
In order to prevent these spies from being wiped out in one go.
These people will be sent to different locations.
Moreover, they are all trained individually, and no one knows the existence of the other party. They are all in single-line communication through special marks.
In other words, even if one group is wiped out, the other groups will not be affected.
The reason why he is so careful is to prevent these spies from rebelling.
After all, they are Westerners themselves. If they live in the Western Region for a period of time and forget the hatred of being exiled, it will be easy for them to rebel.
After saying this, Xu Ke went back.
Zhao Xu walked out of the study and came to the side hall next to the study.
There were many maps sent by the Defense Department hanging in this side hall.
Goryeo, Japan, the five southeastern countries, Nanzhanzhou, Luzon, Java.
Of course, there are also maps of India and China.
There are also places in the Western countries that are being drawn.
These maps are naturally provided by him for reference.
When he came to the map of India, Zhao Xu looked at the border between Piaoman and India.
Now, this is undoubtedly a powder keg that will explode at any time.
According to the information provided by Xu Ke, the Tusman Empire is preparing to fight a full-scale war with Dasong at this location in Tianshan.
Even the troops on the west side of India were withdrawn.
In fact, the ultimate purpose of Chang Wei's westward expedition was not to let Tusman withdraw the Indian army.
Because he didn't care about the 200,000 troops.
He was worried that the Tusmans would continue to send troops to India to serve as cannon fodder for the Western Turks, which would be a bit troublesome.
The expansion of the war would only destroy India, which was not what he wanted to see.
He also wanted to make India an export market for Dasong's industrial products.
Therefore, the main purpose of the Western Expedition is to contain the entire Tusman Empire and make it too busy to pay attention to the war in India.
At present, he has achieved this.
Moreover, the Western Turks are probably still complacent and unaware of his purpose. They even think that they have taken advantage and caused confrontation between the two great powers.
"It's time to start the war!" Zhao Xu said softly.
In this battle, he wants to severely inflict a heavy blow to the Western Turks coalition, so that they dare not set foot in the Eastern Turks.
In addition, with India as a fulcrum, he is ready to start the prelude to dismembering the Tusman Empire.
During this period, he has asked Qu Sheng to lay out the petrochemical industry in Dasong.
After the development of the contemporary power industry, the rise of the petrochemical industry followed.
Later, the petrochemical industry became an indispensable part of the heavy industry of the great powers.
Because oil is not only used to produce fuels such as diesel and gasoline.
Many by-products are no less important than these two.
For example, it can also refine lubricating oils needed for machine tools.
The by-product gas produced during the refining process can also extract helium.
This is a safer airship filling gas than hydrogen.
Another important point is that these byproduct gases can be used to synthesize ammonia and urea, etc.
It can be said that the fertilizer industry is closely related to the petrochemical industry.
Only by establishing the fossil industry can the fertilizer industry of Dasong rise and the grain output of Dasong be further improved.
Let the grain go from enough to surplus.
The surplus grain can be used to feed livestock and make meat, eggs and milk popular in every household.
Because of this, only part of the oil imported by contemporary countries is used as fuel, and a lot of it is used to make other daily industrial products.
Therefore, for the petrochemical industry of Dasong, he laid out the Middle Earth, which is imminent.
Of course, Dasong also has some oil reserves.
But for him, it is too time-consuming and laborious to mine with the current technical level, and the quality of oil is not good, so it is better to leave it for future generations to inherit.
Wouldn't it be nice to transport oil back from the Middle Earth where oil comes out every two steps?
