Chapter 279: The Role of the Tianzhu Continent
The two-masted ships also carried a low-power spark wireless telegraph, and although it was not yet possible to contact the large forces heading north, it could communicate directly with the northbound fleet docked on the western coast.
Major Du was pleased to hear the news that Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin had killed 80,000 elite troops, and knew that they had gone north.
Haha, things have changed...... No wonder the dynamics of the enemies he understands are always uncertain!
One moment it was said that a large army was rushing here, and the next it was said that they had withdrawn......
In fact, in this time and space, the way of playing everywhere is like this...... Relying on absolute strength to completely unify and stabilize a large region will take at least a few decades, and it is possible to say that it will take one or two hundred years.
The Federal Imperial Army's movements were too fast, disrupting the rhythm of the other side.
The Delhi Sultan's military group of forty is now leaderless, and orders are often changed at the heck...... This, of course, confused Major Du as well.
Major Du has already prepared a series of tactical tactics, such as ambushes, night attacks, and harassment...... He hasn't used it all this time, he's been active in the southwest of the Delhi area for half a month, and he hasn't seen a single regular army!
Therefore, he had to use the method of static braking to release Marbury's scouts more than 100 kilometers away.
Wait for the army to come from the north, and the southeast will not go for the time being.
He could only contact the northbound fleet through two-masted warships, and then contact the northbound army through the fleet's high-power radio, and this back and forth would take several days!
On this plane, this is already an incredible thing...... However, Major Du had enjoyed this convenient way before, and of course he would think that such a contact was too slow and too slow.
He had imagined that there would be no way to make the battery smaller and lighter, and then one person could carry it, and no matter how far away, the telegram would be forwarded?!
There must be a way to make it, but I won't.
The army led by Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin resolutely marched straight into Delhi at the speed of a normal march...... When they encountered a river, they set up rafts and even borrowed the tools used by the Sudanese invasion army to cross the river.
Since the terrain of the entire Central Plains was extremely gentle, they did not have to worry about any ambushes at all.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin's officers salivated as they looked at the endless fields, and in their opinion, there was still a lot of land that could be used to grow crops...... For example, you can grow corn, potatoes and soybeans and so on, and you can harvest them casually.
There are also merchants in the new business district of Marbury who specialize in the supply of struvite stones.
Spending some money to buy and scatter it is far more than the farmers in the Tianzhu area harvest...... Now, many farmers in the country of Marbury are secretly learning the techniques of cotton farming from the merchants who run cotton farms and other farms in their country...... They don't need to be taught, and after the first year of harvest, as soon as the two results are compared, the farmers there immediately follow suit.
But there is too much waste of land on the Central Plains, and there are so many places that can be built into farms!
One officer said to another, "God is so unfair that these natives should have such good land for nothing...... If you look far away, there are herds of buffalo...... We were busy for more than 10 years in order to get big livestock! ”
The other officer replied nonchalantly: "What is there to be indignant? Sooner or later, the entire Tianzhu Continent will be the place of our Federal Empire...... When the time comes, I will sell you the land to make a farm, and you don't want to say that you won't buy it......"
The officer thought for a while, shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "Forget it...... The income from growing crops is too small, so I should go to my cotton yarn farm after I retire...... The women here are quite industrious, and they can be qualified as female workers. ”
Neither Chairman Wu Dapeng nor Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin mentioned the future of the Tianzhu Continent...... However, their subordinates had already begun to talk quietly.
What is useless to oneself, to the Federal Empire, no one is interested in doing!
Some people speculate that sooner or later, King Marbury will be deposed, and President Wu Dapeng will replace him.
There is also speculation that the Ryukyu Kingdom will be modeled after the Ryukyu Kingdom and turn the continent into part of a federal empire.
But no matter what they think, it is ultimately up to Chairman Wu Dapeng himself to make a decision.
The army heading north is finally approaching the heart of the Delhi Sultan...... At this time, across the Tianzhu River, they could see a large army arrayed on the opposite bank, and their military camp stretched for more than ten miles along the riverbank.
This was to prevent the army from crossing the Tianzhu River, which could be seen as the first line of defense for the Delhi Sultan.
There were hundreds of boats on that side, but the other side was empty.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin smiled and put down his binoculars...... He didn't know who the other party's chief general was, but the fact that they were able to put the barracks here showed that their intelligence work was also quite good, and they were right in the right direction.
Thanks to the development of the Central Plains over thousands of years, their army was able to borrow ready-made roads when marching, which made their four-wheeled carriages completely useful.
However, thousands of years later, they have not been able to build a bridge over the Tianzhu River, which is really contemptible!
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin immediately ordered to set up camp, and everything was waiting for tomorrow morning.
While the soldiers were busy setting up their barracks, the military port in the new business district of Marbury ushered in the third batch of military aid.
Not to mention the military matters, the civilian equipment sent this time was beyond the expectations of Chairman Wu Dapeng.
He said in surprise: "Five hundred magnet phones?!" Didn't you say that you have to solve the Wenlai estuary area first?! ”
The young man who delivered the equipment said politely: "President Wu, Lord Wang Island is too grateful to the last batch of Tianzhu laborers who arrived...... He believed that this was the midpoint of the Golden Sea Road, and that he should be equipped with the best equipment first. ”
Hehe, Fa Tsai will always be a friend who knows how to repay his kindness, and he can't change this habit in any world.
If a magnet telephone system is built in the new business district of Marbury, then when needed, Chairman Wu Dapeng can command the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army with a single phone call, and also facilitate communication with the Imperial Embassy and King Marbury.
This equipment is extremely useful...... It was supposed to be delivered next year.
At present, the demand for supply flow alone on the island and in Shandong has exceeded their production and processing capacity...... And what about the demand of the Great Song market?!
It is said that Lao Jia himself wrote a letter urging him.
The camaraderie of friends is still hot......
Along with the large-scale charging equipment, the efficiency of charging can be greatly improved, so that he can build an effective cable telegraph system at several key points on the Tianzhu Continent.
The war was not over yet, and Chairman Wu Dapeng began to work on the future construction.
All that remains are a few sets of cotton gins and cotton carders, as well as several sets of large oil presses.
At the moment, the Tianzhu Continent can only be used as a place to provide raw materials first.
Needless to say, the oil press is used to prepare for the large amount of soybean oil and peanut oil...... Not only do they need a lot of oil, but they also need a lot of soybean meal, which is what the feed industry needs most.
After reading the freight list, Chairman Wu Dapeng sighed comfortably.
