455 explosives

There is a railway stretching to the east on the land of Huangsha, which is the southern line of the Pacific Railway in Datang, which is now more often called the Luoao line. Since the completion and opening of this railway www.biquge.info its importance has gradually increased. At both ends of the railway are Jiazhou and Pengzhou, which are now the core of the Tang Dynasty, and not only a large number of commercial goods are transported through this railway, but also Chinese immigrants from the Far East enter the three southeastern states through this railway. Over the past few years, millions of people have traveled by train to Pengzhou and Florida. It is even an exaggeration to say that the rule of the Tang Dynasty in the three southeastern states can be maintained, and the Luoao Railway plays a key role.

Although the three southeastern states with a population of one million at this time already had self-sufficient agriculture and initially established industries, a large amount of daily necessities still needed to be transported from the three states on the west coast. At the same time, maintaining the smooth flow of trade is also a key element in the development of the three southeastern states.

Next to the tracks, several Apache knelt or crouched in a circle, and Cussi and Kina discussed.

"Will this thing work?" Keener said.

"It has to work," said Cussi, "because the Spaniards have given us the strongest explosives." Esquart had experimented with a fraction of it, and with only a tenth of that amount, it was enough to blow up a wooden house to nothing. With this thing, it will definitely work. ”

Keena wanted to reach out and pat the big package tied with rope, but after hearing this, he timidly reached back and said, "Do we have to stay near this thing, won't it blow us up?" ”

Cussi lifted a long fuse and said, "It's not going to blow us up, we're close, but it's long enough." We lit a fire in the distance. Find a rock to cover your body. Lie as low as possible, even if it blows up and scatters dirt and rocks, it will not be a threat to us. ”

At this time, another young man from the Baishan tribe said: "Actually, why let us stay here, we just blew up this railroad track, isn't it over?" ”

Keener said: "It's not such a simple thing, the Tang people are still very concerned about this railway, and their escort team often appears on the railway, if they are passing by. Seeing the explosives we threw here unattended, they would have been disarmed, and the task given to us by Esquart was not completed. ”

Cousie stared at the other end of the road and said, "If the Tang people's road escort comes, we will fight with them, and we must not throw away the explosives, this is the only share that the Spaniards have given us, and Esquart said that if the Tang people find out, we may do it again." It's hard to succeed. ”

In fact, in the vicinity of the railway, Esquart deployed an Apache force of 100 men for insurance. This force is not from the White Mountain, but the Mogroons, who are already in the vanguard of the Apache Alliance, and are armed with a lot of muskets, all of them have war horses, and they are very strong. With the size of the Tang Road Guard, if it is attacked by an Apache cavalry of hundreds of people, it may be very difficult to defeat.

Keena added: "We want to teach the Tang people a bloody lesson and avenge the brothers we lost before." If we detonate the explosives and a train is approaching, it will not have time to stop and derail directly, and if the train derails and overturns, it will cause a large number of casualties, and we can use this method to kill dozens or even hundreds of Tang people! ”

These Indians were just looking for a way to take revenge on the Tang people for their own right, but they only saw the casualties, but they did not see the losses caused by the destruction of the railway and the overturning of a train, plus the huge economic losses and collateral effects caused by the suspension of the railway line. However, this can be regarded as a mistake, because blowing up the railway, causing the Tang train to overturn, is the way to make the Tang people injured.

It's just that Datang is not a country that swallows its anger, and only has a hard fist to fight back against any provocation, to a certain extent, the Apache people have chosen the most correct way, and at the same time, they have chosen the worst way.

Coussy and Kina and the others placed the explosive bag in the middle of a section of railroad tracks, and they had no experience in blasting, so they basically placed it casually, but the explosive bag was not small enough to blow up the rails to deform, and just the transformation was enough to push a train full of passengers and goods down the abyss.

In the distance, a green-skinned train is heading here, unlike the slow train stolen by Esquart and others before, this one is the third-generation train developed by Datang, which operates at a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour, and its main purpose is passenger transportation.

The passenger train with train number K9704 was completely vibrant, and the radio on the train was repeatedly ringing: "...... Welcome all new immigrants to Datang, you will be greeted with a new life, a happier life! ”

Loaded with hundreds of new immigrants from the Qing Kingdom to North America, the train had no idea that it was heading for a catastrophe. Some of the new immigrants, who were still full of ignorance, were extremely curious about being able to send out announcements that would convey the entire carriage. The crew on the train was handing out train meals to them -- a salted flower roll with diced meat, a small bag of mustard vegetables, and a white porridge at each level. There is a waste heat recovery system on the train, which can be used to heat food.

The newcomers were delighted with the seemingly simple food, many of whom were half-starved before boarding the ship, and from the time they boarded the ship to the present, they had a full meal, and the Tang people gave them a lot of things. They were holding a title deed in their arms, just as they had been interested in ten acres of land years ago.

At this time, the story began to play on the radio again, and the voice that had been recorded for a long time echoed: "...... Six years ago, Brother Shun, who came to Datang for the first time, was confused, he was frustrated since he was a child, and he couldn't read Ding ...... "This is about the successful experience of new immigrants before, in fact, it has the characteristics of a serious pyramid scheme Amway, but no one can deny that this thing really works." Many newcomers are more hopeful about their future after listening to the successful stories of others and living and working in peace and contentment.

For a group of people who have left their hometowns and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to a new environment, hope is the most important thing, so that they can continue to persevere and work hard to live the driving force.

Many people's faces are also filled with a different kind of luster because they are infused with this thing. The men, women and children on the train, from different places, were communicating with each other in dialects from all over the world, imagining the days after arriving in Pengzhou......
