"For the sake of victory, you can do whatever it takes! We will win this war in any way we can! ”

As a soldier, Earl Cardigan knows very well that relying on military discipline alone cannot ensure the courage of soldiers, perhaps military law will shock most soldiers, but if you want to win the war, you must find another way, especially when fighting with the Chinese. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As usual, the well-dressed Earl Cardigan was pacing in his living room, reading the book in his hand, and for the past half a month he had become a scientist, looking through the magazines related to science every day, trying to find something to win.

"The Chinese did not defeat us on the battlefield, they beat us in the factory, in the laboratory!"

In a club in London, he met a young nobleman, a young man from the second son of a nobleman, who had given him a very different answer.

"They made new rifles, explosives in the laboratory, and then they produced rear-loading guns, rear-loading guns, and new shells in their modern factories, and then the machine turned all of this, science into a killing machine, and unfortunately, the British soldiers proved it all with their lives......"

Perhaps he was in a hurry, but despite being conservative, Earl Cardigan still chose to believe, so he hoped to get the answer from science and beat the answer of the Chinese.

The Earl of Cardigan had a pre-breakfast pipe in his mouth. This pipe was filled with fine tobacco from Cuba, and although the Chinese now had the advantage at sea, their limited ironclad fleet could not stop British trade, and supplies from the colonies and overseas were still being shipped to Britain. It's just that these things are more expensive now than they used to be/

"He should be there soon!"

Putting down the book in his hand, Earl Cardigan glanced out the window again, and then he looked at the magazine in his hand again, today is the day of the young man's arrival,

"Mr. Henry has arrived, sir."

At this time, the servant's briefing made Earl Cardigan hurriedly put down the magazine in his hand and said eagerly.

"Oh, let him in!"

A few minutes later, a young English gentleman appeared in front of the Earl of Cardigan, who immediately greeted him and said.

"Henry, you won't blame me for summoning you from London!"

Henry looked at the Earl of Cardigan in front of him, they had a relationship with each other in the club.

"Of course not, Lord Count! It's for Britain! ”

When he received Earl Cardigan's letter, he was shocked by the contents of the letter, and he couldn't believe that in the eyes of Earl Cardigan, his role was already related to the victory of the entire war and whether Britain could defeat the Chinese.

"Yes, precisely for Britain!"

Soon the two of them were in the study, and when they sat down on the sofa, Henry had an extra glass of brandy mixed with water.

"It's not hard to see that you might think well Mr. Henry."

Earl Cardigan said bluntly.

"I know that you once said that the Chinese beat us with science, so I would like to invite you to come here and let's have a casual chat together, don't be inhibited." Tell me everything you know, and when you're tired, take a break and take a sip of wine to refresh yourself. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

And to the politeness of this Earl of Cardigan, Henry did not show the slightest politeness, but said directly.

"Your Excellency, in fact, since ten years ago, since the time of the Crimean War, the war has undergone a fundamental change from the Napoleonic period, compared to half a century ago, the current war is no longer the intelligence of generals, but science, and science determines everything. I try to take up as little of your precious time as possible, and I will tell everything I know! ”

The Earl of Cardigan sat in his large armchair with a curious look on his face, and he did not even hide his eagerness, for Britain needed a victory so badly now. And his chief of staff, General Valentine, sat across from him, and they quietly listened to some of the guests' views.

"You two need to know,"

Henry said as he looked at the two generals in front of him.

"Although I came from an aristocratic family, I didn't have the right to inherit, so I had to make up for it by studying. Professionally, I'm an engineer and I've gained quite a bit of experience in this line of work during my career as an engineer at several companies......"

As an engineer, Henry may not be the best, but in his description, Count Cardigan found that he was a little more than an ordinary engineer - his father was also a soldier, and even he had experience in war, and his brother had fought the Russians in the Crimea, so he knew about war more than an ordinary engineer, and he knew science more than an ordinary soldier.

“…… So, I think this is my advantage, I know science better than ordinary soldiers, so, from the outbreak of this war, in the face of the victory of the Chinese, I saw the change of the war, I think, soon everyone will find out, but at that time, I'm afraid it's too late, because they have already defeated their opponents! ”

Taking a sip of his wine, Henry shrugged his shoulders as he said it was late. Then he went on to analyze the superiority of the Chinese from a scientific point of view, from breech guns to explosives to ironclads and other things that had already been proven in war.

“…… Unlike other countries, maybe the Chinese are learning from us, but they are good at using everything we ignore for war, for the purpose of serving war, war has changed in their essence, when they use science and machines to start their war machine, we are still stuck in the Napoleonic era, not only in weapons, even in the thoughts of war, in the newspapers, and even describe fighting with the Chinese is simply a massacre, because the Chinese are in the trenches, We are lined up there in the phalanx of the Napoleonic era, generals, can this not fail? ”

While Henry explained his point, Earl Cardigan was silently smoking his pipe, and in the face of such a question, Earl Cardigan asked rhetorically.

"So, Mr. Henry, how can we solve all this now and defeat the Chinese? Do we have no hope? ”

"Your Excellency General......"

Looking at the Earl of Cardigan in front of him, Henry took a deep breath, a few days ago, it was the letter from the Earl of Cardigan that made him realize his value, the content of the letter may be simple, but he knew that if his "crankiness" could be recognized by the Earl of Cardigan and play a role in this war, perhaps, he would also become a nobleman, at least he would become the darling of the entire London social circle, and even a hero of Britain.

"Since the Chinese can defeat us with science, then we can also defeat them with science!"

"Beat them with science?"

Valentine looked at Henry with some curiosity.

"Yes, Your Excellency, we have been doing this all the time!"

Henry looked at the two generals in front of him, and then replied.

"When I was in London, I noticed that every British factory now produces breech guns, breech guns, and ammunition for both, and in the British shipyards, the warships being built are all ironclads without exception, and even in Dublin, I saw two ironclads."

Now, ironclad ships are no longer the patent of the Chinese, although large ironclad ships suitable for ocean have not yet been built, but the British shipyard in order to emergency, but still use the old wooden-hulled warships to transform a number of ironclad ships, although their performance is limited, and can not be compared with China's new ironclad ships, but still changed the situation of naval warfare, at least the Royal Navy in the face of Chinese ironclad ships, will not be as before, completely powerless!

"Mr. Henry, this does not solve the problem at the root!"

Earl Cardigan's tone seemed a little eager,

"Mr. Henry, what we need now is to defeat each other!"

That's what he's considering, and as for other issues, they're not within his scope at all.

"Mr. Henry, I believe that since you have seen all this, then there is naturally a way to solve this problem and help us win the war!"

Like any young man, the hearing of such a compliment immediately makes him feel a little fluttering, and of course Henry is the same, and he is silent for a moment, and does not answer immediately, but thinks for a moment before speaking.

"How do you say that?"

There was a pause, and then Henry said.

"Now, it is very difficult to defeat the Chinese, you know, generals, when we were still there with front-loading guns, they were already using rear-loading guns, and our tactics were still in the Napoleonic era, they were already working on new tactics, so it is almost impossible to defeat the Chinese immediately in this situation!"

As Henry spoke, Earl Cardigan's eyes were fixed on him, a gaze that Henry had never seen before, with a look of bewilderment and dissatisfaction.

"Impossible? Are you sure? ”

The displeasure in Earl Cardigan's tone made Henry smile, and then he said.

"It's almost impossible, it doesn't mean it's impossible, but the question is, Your Excellency, how eager you are to win!"

Henry kicked the question directly to Earl Cardigan, and in the astonishment of the other party, he continued.

"Because, if you want to win, you always have to pay a certain price! Excellency! ”
