Chapter 258 Demolition and Demolition

Inspired by Zidian, Yang Dongfang suddenly found a way to make the country rich and powerful, that is, to dismantle the American railroads, collect the rails and sleepers, and return to China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the future, the country will definitely build the railway, well, now the rails and sleepers have been settled, as long as the roadbed is laid, find a few designers to plan, and then tie some technical workers on the line, save a lot of money?

As soon as it was said, the guard regiment quickly dismantled five kilometers of railroad tracks.

"Ding! The host obtains a new rail and consumes 2 prestige points! ”

"Ding! The host gets a new sleeper and consumes 2 prestige points! ”

The railroad meanders along the Pratt River to Omaha, and when Yang Dongfang and others arrive, Omaha is a busy scene, and the train station is full of rails and sleepers to be transported to North Prater.

Workers are carrying and loading cars, and dozens of locomotives and more than 200 cars are parked in the station master.

"Brothers, robbery?"

The New People's Army fell from the sky, which was still something that the Omaha people did not expect, and this was still a large rear, not within the scope of the war, otherwise it would not be possible to build the railroad quietly. In addition, it is a western fortress, so usually you just need to watch out for the declining Indians, but I never thought that one or two trains would come to rob them.

The skilled Ban Dao worker opened another passage and directed them to enter the station, because this train was originally used to transport rails, so Yang Dongfang and the others entered the fortress smoothly.

"Take control of the telegraph station, kill every horse, and keep the news out as much as possible." Soon the Guard Regiment took control of the whole of Omaha, and as Yang Dongfang went down the order, the new Guard Regiment became more and more proficient in their respective jobs.

The first step is to attack the main point, the important place! Control the exit of the city, then hang the flag of the Southern Army, then collect guns, kill and wound more than 2,000 defenders stationed here, and seize 4,000 guns, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, and 30 cannons, basically Napoleonic cannons.

The reason why Omaha is the eastern leg of the Pacific Railroad is that it has railroads to the north and south, and it also has direct access to the bustling city of Chicago on the Great Lakes in the east.

There is also the Missouri River, which flows outside the city, and the waterway goes directly to Missouri, to Mississippi, and then to the seaport, which is strategically important. So there were more than 2,000 defenders, but these people were not there to deal with the Southern army, but to prevent possible harassment by the Indians.

"Shuai, guess what we found?"

Xi Yanming came to invite Gongdao, and Yang Dongfang asked, "What good things did you find?" So happy! ”

"Dashuai, it turns out that there is a big steel mill in the city, and the rails are produced here, do you say it's a treasure, which guy is okay, all you eat is stones, and when you spit it out, it's this hard-tied iron bar, I heard that this thing can also make guns."

Seeing Xi Yanming's eyebrows fluttering, Yang Dongfang was also very happy, and immediately asked him to lead the way in front of him, came to the steel mill, and found that there were forgings, lead and zinc smelters, and railway equipment factories that produced locomotives and iron boxes.

"Good, good! That's nice! Saying hello three times in a row, Yang Dongfang knew that this time he had really grabbed the baby, the closer he got to the hinterland of the United States, the more treasures he would have, thinking of this, he restrained his mind even more, knowing that if he continued to move closer to the east, there would be more things to grab.

At the same time, I understand why Omaha has these things, it is the bridgehead of the westward expansion, the starting point of the Pacific Railroad, and it is inevitable that these industrial facilities will be put into operation here for the convenience of obtaining materials. The resulting rails can be delivered to the front immediately, eliminating the hassle of transshipment.

"It's demolished, it's all demolished, and Lao Tzu wants to get it back to China." After obtaining the complete steelmaking plant, Yang Dongfang asked people to pack all the technical information of each factory, send the things home, and send the technical information to California, so that Wan Lei could capture a few people to translate it for his own people to digest and learn.

After a day's delay and emptiness of these factories, Yang Dongfang took the guy on the train and continued to move eastward, the next day to mark Des Moines, the capital of Iowa.

Wang Dake and others were left in Omaha to drive American railroad workers to dismantle railway tracks in four directions, at least 20 miles in each direction, completely paralyzing the convenient railway traffic here.

Although the news of the blockade of the New People's Army was announced, the news of the fall of Ohama spread as quickly as possible, and the reason was still the Missouri River outside the city.

The boats on the river, which the New Nationalists could not fully control, made the news down the Missouri River to Kansas City, Kansas, where it was reported to Washington by electricity.

Washington!

The Presidential Building, the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was in the official residence at this time, listening to the battle reports on the front line, showing a sense of joy, not knowing that he was getting closer and closer to death.

Fortunately, everything is fine, the Southern Army is already in decline, and the Army General Grant has lived up to expectations, and has already beaten the Southern Army all over the place, and there is no power to fight back, and Richmond will be able to break through in a few days.

As soon as the capital of the Southern Army was broken, everything would be settled, and the four-year civil war would come to an end.

Victory is already immovable.

As the president of the Civil War, Lincoln was under great pressure, because of his hard work, coupled with his beard, with thick black eyebrows, deep sunken eye frames, and loose puff, the whole thing was like an orangutan, and people who didn't know would never have thought that such a person was the president of the United States of America.

After listening to the situation of the war in the South, Lincoln knocked on the table and asked the Secretary of State: "Has the Denver Capture been clarified, and has it really been broken by the enemy?" If so, who broke it, was it the vicious natives? ”

Secretary of State William H. Seward himself replied with some disbelief: "According to the news from the direction of Lemmon, it was the Confederate army that broke through, and the city was hung with the banner of the Southern rebels. ”

"What? Southern rebels, how can there be Southern rebels there. Lincoln couldn't sit still, his eyes were sharp, and William H. Seward had to change the subject: "Although I don't know if it's true or not, Garden City has sent a cavalry over, and I believe that the result will be soon." ”

Just as Secretary of State William H. Seward was secretly pinching Han, the Secretary of Post, Hugh McCulloch, came in, said something in his ear with a panicked look, and then handed over a telegram, which the Secretary of State almost did not stand still after reading it, and the whole person was not good.

Lincoln saw that his face was different, and frowned and said, "What happened again, are you not feeling well?" Seeing that we are about to win, don't let anything go wrong. ”

William H. Seward pondered for a moment, didn't know where to start, took a deep breath and said truthfully: "Just now, a telegram came from Kansas, and they said... They say Nebraska was invaded by the Confederates, the state capital of Omaha was captured by the Southern rebels, the rebel flag was flying in the city, and the railroad tracks were being torn down, the steel mills were being demolished, and the entire city of Omaha was being demolished. ”

Lincoln stood up, his sunken eyes seemed to shoot out a hundred thousand electric currents, and like a deep sea whirlpool, trying to swallow everything, extremely deep.

But William H. Seward was clearly prepared to continue: "And California was taken over by that guy from Norton I, who formed the Royal Guard and publicized that California belonged to him from now on, and he also dissolved Congress and removed us from office. ”

Lincoln's lips burst into a rare thick mouthful: "Fake!" What are you talking about! Norton is a beggar, a beggar, where did he come from the royal guard, he is a beggar. (To be continued.) )
