This slow-speed freight train was an early train model of Datang, and now Datang has developed to the third generation of trains, using internal combustion engines, and the speed has been greatly improved. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoDue to the growth of population and the continuous expansion of the land area, Datang has paid more attention to the construction of transportation infrastructure, and the railway is the core construction point of Datang's land transportation. After the completion of the Liangyang Railway, Datang's railway construction did not come to an end, but began to build two other horizontal railways with more mature experience.

The Tang Inland State is also developing, and the Tang people are now completely unconcerned about the Spanish territorial claims, and the source state, which was originally west of the Rocky Mountains, has also expanded its scope to the other side of the mountain range, and has begun to build a city in Denver. The middle line of the horizontal line railway is from the city of Shungeng (Sacramento) to the east, passing through the salt lake city of Luanzhou, and finally arriving in Denver. The Northern Line runs from Vancouver, British Columbia, all the way east to Lake Superior.

It can be said that due to the complex terrain of the western region, the engineering difficulty of the three horizontal railways is extremely great, and even with the technical level of the Tang Dynasty, it is also an arduous task. Datang has invested a lot of money and done a good job of surveying, but does not expect to complete it as soon as possible, but hopes that the progress of the remaining two horizontal railways can be relatively smooth, and try to avoid the loss of personnel.

There is no doubt that if the construction of the Sanheng Railway is completed, Datang will have stronger control over its inland areas, and at the same time, more people will be able to enter the inland for development, promoting the overall prosperity of Datang.

Just look at the Pacific Railway on the southern line, you can know that Datang built this railway, which completely communicated the three states on the west coast and the three states in the southeast. It has also greatly promoted the development of the three southeastern states. And take advantage of the extension of the railway line. Also in Phoenix, Tucson and other places. Colonies were set up in the name of transit points, and the Spaniards could only get angry and not interfere. It can be said that only one southern Pacific Railway has greatly revitalized Datang's economy and promoted national development. The investment is huge, of course, but the benefits are almost limitless.

As a police officer whose profession is closely related to the railway line, Li Xingjie can be said to be the role of the railway to Datang. has the most intuitive understanding. Protecting the smooth and safe flow of railway traffic has become a key point in Datang's government affairs in recent years. When the railroad was first opened in '84, the Indians along the line were still terrified and avoided it. But as the fear faded away, some people began to get on the train. After all, the three states on the west coast of the Tang Dynasty and the three southeastern states have a large amount of goods flowing through this artery, and after Pengzhou and Florida became the main windows of trade with European countries, the goods and wealth of Europeans began to be transported here. Many times, piles of gold, silver and precious metals are even carried on the trains.

And what area does the railway line pass through? The New Mexico region, which nominally belonged to the Spanish colony (including Arizona, New Mexico and a series of later institutions), had no regular army garrison and no decent city. There are only colonies and militias that are limited in arms. On the other hand, there are some of the most powerful Indian tribes here. The Apachis, the Comanches, and the Spaniards and Mexicans, whose wealth can no longer be described as fat.

Long before the construction of this railway, Bai Nan had suggested that the country must pay attention to the safety protection of the railway line, although the construction of the railway into New Mexico has the intention of enterprising, but at the same time can not ignore the potential danger. A few years later, Bai Nan's fears came true, and more and more Indians began to make robbing the Tang people a way of life.

As a last resort, at the beginning of this year, the Datang Congress put forward a proposal, asking the Ministry of National Defense to take countermeasures as soon as possible against the safety of the Datang South Line and the Transoceanic Railway, and to set up railway troops or similar formed units to protect the safety of Datang's railway traffic. Although the amount of property lost by the Indians by climbing the train and stealing was not large, they were also tireless.

It's just that it is easy for the Tang Dynasty itself to form a railway army, but entering New Mexico naturally requires negotiations with the Spaniards, although the Tang people don't need to see Spain's face very much, but the obvious problem is not so severe that they want to send troops to the Spanish colony, and the Spaniards reacted violently to this, and even threatened the Tang people with trade, and this matter is a stalemate for the time being.

The only thing the Datang Railway Corporation can do now is to increase the intensity of the patrols of the urban militia in the area, and to befriend the local tribes as much as possible, while stationing more police on the trains. It was in this context that Li Xingjie became a train police officer to protect the safety of the train.

In bulk cargo cars, there is usually a security officer in the car, who is often armed with a pistol, or even a submachine gun or ******. For example, Li Xingjie has a ****** standing next to him, which is obviously a Remington who has plagiarized the classics. In the Tang Dynasty, although the restrictions on weapons in the areas of Chengdu are relatively strict, residents in some areas are allowed to carry guns due to potential safety hazards, such as the problem of unnaturalized Indians. Obviously, military weapons are not available to civilians, so usually they can get something like a pistol or ******, and these are very standard police weapons.

Li Xingjie was listening to the music, when suddenly a piercing beep sounded, and he immediately stood up and nervously grabbed the ****** next to him.

This alarm bell is an alarm signal that every carriage has, and when the gate is pulled down, the whole train will sound this piercing beep to alert the police officers on the train.

Li Xingjie hurriedly opened the carriage door and stretched out his head to look out. He doesn't encounter such situations often, so he is still a little timid. Coming into view were about seven or eight horsemen on this side, galloping through the last carriage, moving parallel to the train. There are even people who have already rolled over from their horses, ready to jump on the train at any moment.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and Li Xingjie was startled. Only then did I realize that it was a colleague in the two carriages behind me, holding on to the door of the train carriage, holding a pistol in one hand and shooting at the Indian robbers who tried to jump out of the train. It's just that in such a situation, such a shot is not accurate.

The Indian knight at the head rode a bloody horse with an incomparable horse, which surprised Li Xingjie, because the sweaty horse was only owned by the Tang on the American continent, and it was a first-level war horse, which was extremely precious. The knight leader, apparently enraged by the attack of the Don policeman, raised his carbine and opened fire on the policeman. The shot apparently didn't hit either, but two of his accomplices, one with a gun and the other with a bow and arrow, also fired at him. The policeman was obviously a little scared, and quickly stuck his head back from the outside of the car.

Li Xingjie was extremely nervous, and a colleague's equally nervous shout came from the walkie-talkie on his waist: "Damn, it's those Apache people who don't want to die, Lao Zhang, you have a submachine gun, hurry up and sweep at these bastards!" ”

"Okay, you all retract your heads, you're not responsible!" The older Lao Zhang was in the carriage higher than Li Xingjie, and when Li Xingjie heard this, his head, which was already in the carriage, shrank back a little. But Lao Zhang's position was not good, and the bullets he fired at the group of Indian robbers were spread too widely, and dozens of bullets were stunned and did not hurt a single person.

The police officers were scolding on the intercom, and at this time the captain of the police team shouted: "Pay attention, that group of barbarians are about to jump out of the car, and the front will gather in the five wagons, and we will go to support the comrades in the back!" ”

Several of the Apache robbers seemed to be ready to jump off the train, and they wisely chose not to jump at the door of the carriage, but at the junction of the carriage behind, while others attacked the door with bows and muskets to cover the actions of their companions.

"Come on, come on, these brutes are going to jump off my car!" Xiao Zhao, who was guarding the wagon, was shocked, he wanted to poke his head out to attack the other party, but he was even more afraid of being injured by the oncoming bullets.

Esquart was the first to jump on the train, followed by a little friend, and Esquart shouted, "Mochi, you go first!" ”

Some sturdy short Indian youths had fiery glint in their eyes, and he said, "Don't worry, Esquart, look at me!" ”

Moki grabbed the train and quickly moved to the door, screaming and rushing into the wagon, and was greeted by a thud ******.

In the panic, the police officer Xiao Zhao released a fatal shot, directly hitting Mochi's entire chest and abdomen into a bloody blur, Mochi immediately fell off the train, the Apache let out an angry scream, and at the same time, Esquart swayed on the train, jumped into the carriage, the police officer who had just fired a shot was about to pull the bolt and load again, while the vigorous Esquart threw the short spear in his hand. Xiao Zhao, who had no protection, was plunged into the chest by this short spear, and Esquart glanced coldly at the frightened police officer who was struggling to breathe, and then pulled out the short spear and stuck it in his forehead. Xiao Zhao was completely silent.

Esquart snorted, the hair of the Tang people was too short to catch, and it was difficult to shave the scalp. Scalping off is a symbol of Indian bravery, and some Indian tribes even sew a coat out of their scalp, which they feel is like a new Armani trench coat.

Esquart was not interested in the scalp of the Tang people, he was a very sane Apache, and not only martial arts. Time is precious to him, and the heavily armed train police are approaching, and it is difficult for them to contend with them head-on. All he needed to do was throw as much of the valuable goods off the train as he could, and take them with him. (To be continued.) )
