Chapter 43: Destruction
The poor third generation asked, "Engong, what more clever plan do you want?"
Xu Feng smiled: "Come here with your ears." Then he whispered his plan.
Back at home, Xu Feng called Liu Dazhuang over and said, "Da Zhuang, do you know about the polar bear people building railways here in our place?"
Liu Dazhuang said: "Of course I heard about it, my mother told me that Lao Maozi is building a railway here in us, and it must be Huangpizi who pays New Year's greetings to chickens - not well!"
Xu Feng didn't expect that Aunt Liu, a rural woman who had never been far away, would have such insight. Liu Dazhuang said again: "My mother said that we must think of a way not to let Lao Maozi build a railway on our land." ”
Xu Feng smiled: "I have a way, we ...... tonight"
On the night of December in the northeast, the cold wind howled, Xu Feng took Liu Dazhuang and the poor three generations, and came to the place where the rails were laid by night, the laying method of modern rails was no different from the beginning of the 19th century, but the materials were changed, when laying the rails, the bed was piled out with stones on the ground, and then half or more of the sleepers were buried in the bed, so as to fix the sleepers, and then the slots that fixed the rails were installed with rivets on the sleepers, and the rails were basically laid, which was done to prevent the train from crushing the trackbed.
Modern railway construction, in order to save wood, so the sleepers are made of concrete, in the 19th century did not involve this problem, so the polar bear people's sleepers are made of wood, the polar bear people are first laid sleepers, and then lay the rails, so there is a long section of the bed only sleepers, no rails, Xu Feng looked at these woods, asked: "Are these woods in Jingling Mountain?"
Liu Dazhuang squatted down and knocked carefully, and said, "Yes." ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Dig!"
So the three of them dug out a sleeper from the stone of the road bed, Xu Feng took out a ruler borrowed from the village tailor's house, measured the original position of the sleeper, and said, "Move this sleeper seven inches to this side." ”
The three of them then moved the sleeper to the side by seven inches, and then they did the same, and moved five more sleepers, Xu Feng said: "It's almost, it's not early, let's go back to sleep first, and come back tomorrow to see the excitement." ”
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the three people sneaked to the railway section where they had done their hands and feet yesterday, although the poor three generations made a fuss yesterday, but the Chinese people who came to watch today were not small, only to see that the car laying the track was parked on the track, and did not work, and the polar bear soldiers guarding it were still conscientiously guarding.
However, Xu Feng found that on the side of the sleeper where they had made their hands and feet, a person who looked like a Chinese man was holding a ruler, measuring something, it seemed to be an engineer, this person had black hair and black eyes, but he had short hair, and was wearing clothes similar to those of the polar bear people.
Xu Feng wondered in his heart and thought, "Who are they? Could it be that they are from the island country?"
Xu Feng did not guess wrong, these people are from the island country, it turned out that there are few polar bears, and the construction of the railway will naturally face the problem of lack of manpower, after a series of conflicts in the northeast, they are afraid that hiring local Chinese people will bring unnecessary trouble, so after the communication of the upper echelons, the polar bear people hired a large number of island people to work, and the phenomenon of land annexation in the island country at this time is quite serious, and a large number of landless farmers have become a big problem for the island government, so the two sides hit it off.
Of course, the islanders also have far-reaching plans, and some of these islanders are actually members of paramilitary organizations, who ostensibly help the polar bears to work, but secretly they are collecting intelligence on northeastern China.
The engineer's name is Xiao Kikuzaburo, graduated from Tokyo Imperial University, is a fanatical ** element, and joined many ** clubs during his time in the island country, advocating the attack on Huaxia.
If the sleepers are moved, the rails can no longer be laid, because if the distance between the sleepers is uneven, it is easy to form a stress concentration on the rails somewhere when the train passes, so that it is not a small accident for the rails to break down and the train to derail.
Kikuzaburo measured it and said to the polar bear supervisor, "There are five sleepers that have been moved by about twenty-three centimeters. ”
The director frowned and said, "What's going on? Twenty-three centimeters, which is about the 'seven inches' that the Huaxia people say, this word is used by the Huaxia people to describe the vital parts, seven inches, is it a warning to us? Is it really that we have touched the gods of Huaxia?"
Xiao Kikuichiro said with a smile: "I think it's these evil people who are playing ghosts! You see, only five sleepers have been moved, which means that there are very few of them, no more than three, if they are gods, why only move five? Wouldn't it be better to move a few more?"
The director touched the few yellow hairs on his bald head, nodded and said, "Mr. Ichiro, your analysis is really reasonable, and the wisdom of your Oriental people is really broad and profound. ”
Kokuichiro said with a smile: "Mr. Director, our island country is a country full of wisdom, and it is destined to be the master of Asia from the moment of the birth of civilization. ”
The polar bear supervisor didn't seem interested in his set, and smiled and went to direct the workers to start work, this conversation was in Russian, so Xu Feng listened to it one by one, Xu Feng thought to himself: "The little devils are really ghostly!
At this moment, a fast horse came running from the east, and immediately sat a polar bear soldier, ran to the supervisor, jumped off the horse without waiting for the horse to stop, gasped, and said: "Something happened in the timber yard, in order to prevent accidents, the superior told you to return to the station quickly!"
When the director heard this, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to get on the railroad car and was about to go back, Xiao Kikuichiro said angrily: "Is it that the person is looking for trouble again!"
When the polar bear soldier heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, they didn't let us cut wood in the mountains, and they also injured our people. ”
Kokikuichiro picked up a shovel on the ground, brandished the shovel, and said in Japanese to the workers of the archipelago: "Subjects of the empire of the big island country, take up your shovels and pickaxes, fight like a samurai, and give those pigs a little color!"
There were more than 30 people in the archipelago, and as soon as they heard this, they picked up the shovels, pickaxes, crowbars and other tools around them, and followed Xiao Kikuiichiro and left.
The poor third generation asked Xu Feng on the side: "Engong, did our plan work, Lao Maozi is afraid, don't you get in the car and get out!"
Xu Feng heard the news of the accident, but in the end, he didn't understand Xiao Kikuichiro's Japanese, and he asked the poor third generation: "Where is the wood yard of the polar bear people?"
The poor third generation said: "At the west pass of Jingling Mountain, it is almost 20 miles away from here. ”
Xu Feng pointed to the direction in which the islanders had left and said, "Apart from this road, is there any other way to get there?" ”
At this time, Liu Dazhuang took over and said: "Yes, but it is a little far away, almost about thirty miles. Xu Feng thought about it again and again, and said, "I'm going to the timber yard, you can help me show the way." ”
