Chapter 454: The Expedition Begins

The Kushan-Baicheng border, the town on this side of Baicheng is Lanchi, and it is also the terminus of Baicheng's first railway line, Balan Line, which runs from Barra Port on the east coast to the border town of Lanchi in the west.

The town on the other side of the border is the gyro-yega of Kushan, and although the two towns belong to two countries and are separated by a national border, they are close to each other.

If you go to Kushan, the best way is to transport the Han army and military supplies from Bara Port to Lanchi Town through the Baran Line Railway, or mobilize them from other places in Baicheng, in short, they will eventually converge at Lanchi Town.

After the assembly, the last thing is to march towards the hinterland of Kushan.

The secret envoy of the Kushan royal family, Atta Yiyi, used the jade wrench finger of the Kushan Emperor Vesudeva as a token and the Kushan topographical map as a gift of the audience, indicating that the Kushan would submit to the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xie asked, "Even if I believe you, then in what way does your emperor want to submit to you?" ”

Atta said, "My emperor pleads

"His Majesty the Great Emperor helped eliminate the minister Agulun."

"That's understood," Liu Xie said, you go to the post house to rest first, I hope you don't leave before our Han army sets out, of course, I will equip you with a few personal guards to prevent people with Agu Wheel from posing a threat to your personal safety. You can only be active in Impu. Do you understand? ”

The reason why Liu Xie wanted to do this was also because of his considerations, he was worried that this Atta Yiyi would escape, so if this Emperor Guishan had a national certificate, he would send troops to Guishan without a national letter, and he would let the people of the world say that it was an invasion.

And with Atta's clothes, if you conquer Guishan, then there will be a rhetoric, and now it doesn't matter if this Atta clothes is true or not, as long as there is him, as long as you don't let him run, everything will be easy.

The Han army stationed in Guishan has a full excuse!

Atta Yiyi also understood what Liu Xie meant, and did not insist, but immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty." Thank you, Your Majesty, for your thoughtfulness. ”

Liu Xie said again: "Do you have an entourage this time?" ”

Atta said, "There are two retinues, and they have both come to Imp. ”

Liu Xie said: "Okay, after you stay at the pavilion, let your entourage immediately return to Guishuang and report to Vesudeva, just say that I have agreed to the request to return to the country, and I will send troops soon, but I need to be prepared, so it may take some time." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you, Lord Longen!" After Atta thanked him, he left the theater and went to the inn to stay under the leadership of the guards.

Althea asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried that he is a liar?" ”

Liu Xie said: "What is there to worry about, even if he is a liar, it doesn't matter, anyway, I can use this excuse to go to Guishuang." ”

"That's just as well."

"But it will probably take at least a month to prepare."

"Then how will Your Majesty prepare? Prepare to transport troops by tanks, mainly infantry, armored troops to complement each other, but the tanks and tanks are in the arsenal in Funan, and they need to be transported by warships, which requires a process, at least a month. ”

Since Liu Xie obtained the mind printer by killing the fire dragon in the Great Xianbei Mountain (now the Great Xing'an Mountains) through a hidden mission, all kinds of modern technology have been quickly printed, and the technology of the Han Dynasty has also developed rapidly in the long run.

Just six years have passed, and there are still new things in troop carriers and tanks, but the birth of armored troops has never been put into war.

The cavalry will be completely eliminated!

The concept of cavalry in the whole army has now been completely abandoned. Armored vehicles are divided into two main categories, one is tanks, and the other is functional combat vehicles, including troop carriers.

There is an arsenal in the western part of Funan, and the railway line between it and Luoyang, but it is not yet abbreviated, and it will probably take at least four years to complete and complete.

The Kra Canal has been dug and completed and has been navigable, and the military supplies of the Han Dynasty can be transported by sea from Yangzhou, through the Wanli Stone Pond, the Kra Canal and the Sea of Poison to Baicheng.

Several ports on the east coast of Dahan, through the East China Sea, Wanli Shitang, Kra Canal, and the poisonous ocean, such routes have become the Yellow Turban routes of Dahan, and a large number of military warships and civilian freighters are busy sailing on this golden route.

Not only this route, but also long-distance routes to the three provinces, is also busy.

As for the three provinces, they have already been introduced earlier, namely the North American Province, the South American Province and the Oceanic Province.

Because of the construction of the first airport outside the mainland, military and civilian type, after all, the current resources are not so abundant, if the construction of a separate civilian airport, there is still a certain degree of difficulty.

There is an airport built in Luoyang, which is also a dual-use type, and Chengdu, the capital of Yizhou, also has an airport, which is still a dual-use type.

At present, there are only two airports in Dahan mainland, which were mainly built to transport people and materials to South Asia. Important materials and personnel can be transferred from Luoyang, through Chengdu, and then fly to Impu.

Therefore, Liu Xie can often return to Luoyang, although Yan Er is in charge of Luoyang, but she also occasionally has the opportunity to come to meet His Majesty the Emperor in Pupu, so Althea has been to Luoyang many times.

Because of this air route, there was a huge exchange between Eastern Han Dynasty movies and Baicheng films. One is the Wenji Film Company of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the other is the Wulaibao Film Kingdom of Baicheng, and later the Mediterranean Film Industry of Daqin became the world's three major film companies.

As for Mediterranean Pictures, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Once launched, not only personnel and materials began to be mobilized, but also ideological propaganda work was carried out at the same time, like all the people of the Han world to carry out propaganda, in order to gain the support of the whole people, which is also the usual means used by Liu Xie.

Since it is an expedition, there is a certain probability that there will be a war.

And if it is a war, then it needs money, even if the current Han army has absolute superiority in all aspects, and it will be crushed when it starts a war, but it still needs money.

Therefore, starting from Liu Xie's decision to go to Guishan, war coupons were issued throughout the Han world, and the so-called war coupons were equivalent to national bonds, but they were slightly different. All the money obtained from the sale of war coupons will be used for the indication of the expedition, and the war coupons purchased by the people are limited by a period of three years, and once the three-year period expires, they can be exchanged for cash, and the interest rate is much higher than the bank interest.

Since the second industrial revolution of the Han Dynasty, the banking industry has also developed substantially, and paper money has begun to be fully circulated. The basic unit of banknotes is "Wen", which has a constant face value, one Wen, Two Wen, Five Wen, Ten Wen, Twenty Wen, Fifty Wen, One Hundred Wen, Two Hundred Wen, Five Hundred Wen, and One Thousand Wen.

1,000 Wen is the largest face value of paper and pen, which is equivalent to 200 RMB now.
