Luoyang, Beijing.

The people of Luoyang watched with curiosity as the men from the Republican Army's Communications Engineering Office pulled some long ropes and set up some black-burned poles in the streets. They didn't know what such poles were for, but those long black ropes aroused their curiosity.

"What is this? It's weird. And I saw so many soldiers and horses. A Luoyang man asked curiously.

"Don't you know? This is the telegram, in the words of the Republican side, this is the cable. One person explained.

"What's the electricity?" The Luoyang man asked puzzled.

"Cables." The man said and left the place. Luoyang didn't know what it was, but what he did know was that it was quite long. Moreover, the officials and soldiers are not allowed to move, and these things can go directly to the palace.

"Telegraph, what is this?" Someone who didn't know why asked.

They are very curious about such strange things, and if they are curious, they ask them to inquire, and they begin to know something they don't know.

"It's the cable. In this way, it is a telegraph. Thor lives in this cable. As soon as you burn incense here, write what you want to say on the charm, and this thunder god will pass it on. Some old people who don't know how to pretend to understand said. They also listen to other people, and this is called the telegraph. What is the telegraph, I don't know, but they know what electricity is. Lightning. So that they understand at once. So they used their rich imagination. Imagine what kind of situation the telegram would be. They thought that there were really gods in the telegram. And in order for the gods to deliver some news, there must be offerings. Also write some charms. In short, it is a very mysterious thing.

"Huh. What do you know? A businessman said with a smile.

"This telegram is not an unusual thing, this thing has long been available on the Republican side. As long as you give out twenty republican dollars, you can send ten words. In the blink of an eye, for example, if you give it to Luoyang, you can send it to Handan. It's as fast as that. The businessman said insightfully. The people around were surprised.

Only then did they know that the telegram had turned out to be so fast, and that the fairy seemed to be very interested in money. It's a pity that in Luoyang, no matter how rich you are, you can't use such a thing. Because this telegram is not only available in the areas controlled by the Republican Army, but only in Luoyang, the capital division. It seems that they have not yet been able to form a network. Naturally, it is not possible to form some new dynamics.

Nangong. Emperor Han Ling looked at the telegram with great curiosity.

The telegram was a small box with a row of unknown things. It looks so complicated. Then there was a little copper-colored clip-like thing, from which the symbols were said to come from, and then there was the paper tape.

"This, this is the telegraph?" Emperor Han Ling looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see anything.

"Your Majesty, this is the telegram." Zhang Rang replied in a whisper. It's not cheap, and if it doesn't come at such a big price, it's going to be in vain. Zhang Rang also saw the benefits of the telegram, so he waited for Emperor Han Ling to nod his head. Why, he nodded on his side. He would be able to sign a deal with the IRA. In this way, he got the agency in telecommunications, and the Republican army provided technology, and he removed the funds. He doesn't have to worry about the personnel or anything, and he divides it into three or seven, but when he invests it, it is seventy-three points. He put in a lot of money.

Zhang Rang doesn't care at all about such a proportional share, because this can make a lot of money, and if it is laid across the country, he can make a lot of money.

"Then send me something, show me." Emperor Han Ling said.

"Quick, fa. Send something. Zhang Rang hurriedly said to a little yellow door. In order to be able to use it, Zhang Rang also worked hard, and a long time ago, he sent people to learn the technology of telegraph shooting. That little yellow door is such a technical talent.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The little yellow door saluted. But he didn't know what to send. I can only come at will. He looked at the codebook. It's actually just a "dictionary", and then it starts to shoot out according to the numbers on it. The content he posted was:

"Hello. This is Luoyang. Reply. The sound of "tick-tock" was quickly heard.

Emperor Han Ling looked at this side and sent it. There's a punch over there, and it's constantly punching out paper tapes. Some have small holes, some don't. Four in a group, and then one action like this. Emperor Han Ling had no idea how this thing worked.

"This, this is going out?" Emperor Han Ling asked, pointing to the telegram. Just send it out "tick-tock". This made him feel a little surprised.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Huangmen hurriedly explained.

"How? Is there a word over there? Emperor Han Ling then asked.

"Not yet, Your Majesty. Still, I think, it should be soon. Xiao Huangmen said. Emperor Han Ling just nodded. But for such a thing, he is still very curious, he thinks, this thing can really pass on the words? He was skeptical.

"Da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da. Just when Emperor Han Ling was curious, the punch began to rotate continuously. A long strip of paper has been typed out.

"This. This. What does that mean? Emperor Han Ling asked.

"Your Majesty, this should have been sent by them. This was sent from Handan. Xiao Huangmen explained.

"This. That's fast. Zhang Changshi, look at this, this is really fast. Emperor Han Ling said with a smile.

"Look, what are they talking about?" Emperor Han Ling asked anxiously.

"Hello. This is Handan, is there anything you need? Xiao Huangmen translated the telegram in his hand and presented it.

"Go, let him send me the current stock quote. This thing is very good. And any other newspapers or something, send them to me, too. I want to see. Emperor Han Ling said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The little yellow door began to send out reports non-stop. Then the whole hall began to make a continuous "tick-tock" sound, which was the first time that a telegram was sent to the heart of this great empire.

Just when Emperor Han Ling was curious. In the Great Marching Mansion, there were also some great disagreements over the telegraph.

"The reason why the Republican Army was able to win the battle in Hedong was because of the power of the telegraph. It is rumored that this telegram is very fast, and the commander of the IRA must have used the telegraph to transmit military information, and if I had this thing, it would definitely bring about greater development. Chen Lin said. Chen Lin saw the advanced nature and advantages of the telegram, and in his opinion, the republican army would inevitably become a big disaster, because the republican army was like a god in the sky and constantly came up with some unknown magic weapons, which made them feel very worried and threatening.

Before there is a good way to deal with it, they should actively study the advanced nature of the republican army and organize all the things. In this way, they can play to their strengths. So that their advantages are further expanded.

"The telegraph is just a trick of the Republican army." Yuan Shao stood up and said.

When Chen Lin heard this, he smiled noncommittally. He felt that Yuan Benchu was ambitious and talented. It's hard to use.

"The battlefield is changing rapidly. It also takes time to send and receive this telegram, and the battlefield still needs to rely on the judgment and command of our generals. How to relate to telegram. As everyone knows, it will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order. Yuan Shao said.

"Rhetoric." Chen Lin said. But Chen Lin could see that the benefits of this telegram were very great, but he, Yuan Shao, stubbornly believed that everything in the Republican Army was bad and useless. So stubborn, how to fight.

"Primatim. Don't say more. I'll see later. Let's see. General He Jin persuaded.

Indeed, the telegraph has certain limitations, for example, the command on the battlefield, there are still some situations that are difficult to grasp, and Shang Wu is also actively doing some such things, he tries to bring some things into the battlefield as much as possible, so that the battlefield can be made into what he knows.

This is where the fog of war goes. And to be able to make the fog clear in time, it seems that the telegraph has great benefits.

But they must also see that the telegraph actually had disadvantages as well.

For example, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and many situations are still inconvenient for specific commanders, and the telegraph is a limited telegraph, and if the cable is cut, it will suddenly lose its effect, not only that, but the battery of the telegraph, as well as the condition in which it is sent, will cause the telegraph to be unusable. There are still some disadvantages. But these are improving.

However, there are still certain troubles with some specific changes in the situation on the battlefield, for example, there are still some problems in the coordinated command between infantry and artillery. The forward command of the operation, the defensive situation of the troops unfolded, despite the presence of signal flags. But as the battlefield unfolds bigger and bigger. There are still some problems with command. There are even some places where a certain message can be delivered by tapping the metal. In such a situation, it is still very disadvantageous to fight.

This requires the emergence of another communication tool, the telephone. Although the telephone requires the use of a variety of equipment to achieve this, a simple telephone can achieve this point. After all, they already have a need for this.

Lijiazhuang and Shangwu are conducting such research, and the research in this area has already yielded certain results. On top of that, Shang Wu made a lot of theoretical experimental gadgets. These little things, he wouldn't have done such a thing without the help of magnets. And these magnets. It turned out to be a toy from a child. When Shang Wu knew about such a thing, he quickly confiscated it. Began the invention.
