124 Attack on Cebu
Liu Daming still shook his head, and Lin Fei smiled: "You know the telegram, right?" The telegraph is telegraphed by wire, you know, right? ”
Liu Daming said: "Of course I know. ”
Lin Fei said: "The Jade Bird Project developed a telegraph without telegraph wires, and I call it 'wireless telegraphy'!" ”
Liu Daming was taken aback and said in surprise: "A telegram without a telegraph wire? Will there still be such a thing in the world? ”
Lin Fei smiled: "Of course there is." ”
It turned out that the Blue Bird Project was a plan to study radio communication equipment, and Lin Fei realized the shortcomings of wired communication when he attacked Zamboanga, so he had the idea of manufacturing radio equipment.
As early as 1888, the German scientist Hertz designed a device for generating and receiving electromagnetic waves, but Hertz's device could only verify the storage of electromagnetic waves, and eight years later in 1896, the Italian Marconi took the lead in the development of radio communication equipment and achieved success.
In terms of electromagnetic wave generation, Lin Fei uses electronic components such as capacitors, inductors and resistors to design and manufacture circuits, which are the most basic in radio, the advanced ones are electron tubes, and the more advanced ones are transistors.
In Lin Fei's era, the earliest electron tube appeared in 1904, and the earliest transistor appeared in 1947.
In terms of receiving electromagnetic waves, Lin Fei thought of the pigment factory found in Wuduancheng and the lead ore purchased by the pigment factory.
After Lin Fei got the lead ore, he sent a part of the ore to the metal smelter in Yanhuangcheng to refine the lead, and used the lead and the sulfuric acid produced by the chemical plant as raw materials to make a lead-acid battery, which has also appeared in this era, and solved the power supply problem of the radio communication equipment with the lead-acid battery.
Liu Daming didn't know these things, he looked at Lin Fei in surprise and said, "Is this thing true?" If we had wireless communication equipment, we would have a big advantage in naval warfare. ”
Lin Fei smiled and nodded, and when he was talking, the group came to the outside of a factory, which was much quieter than the factory that had just produced the retractor, because the electronic components were relatively small, and the manufacturing was not as "rough" as the retractor, Ling Xue said: "This is the factory that developed the Blue Bird Project." ”
After Ling Xue finished speaking, she pushed the door and walked in, and several craftsmen raised their heads and said with a smile, "Minister Ling is here?" Who are those two people? ”
Lin Fei was stunned for a moment and asked Ling Xue, "Why don't they know me?" ”
Ling Xue said: "These craftsmen are all from Wuduan City and Kota Bato, so it's not strange that they haven't seen the city lord's brother." ”
It turned out that Lin Fei sent all the craftsmen in the city to Yanhuang City after conquering Wuduan City and Kota Bato, this was done to make Yanhuang City's industrial strength stronger, Ling Xue introduced Lin Fei to those craftsmen, and the craftsmen greeted Lin Fei one by one, and then said to Lin Fei: "Your Majesty, according to the drawings you gave us, we have begun to manufacture various parts, and it is expected that four Blue Bird machines can be built within two months." ”
Lin Fei said a few words of encouragement to the craftsmen while agreeing, and then came out of the factory, Liu Daming smiled and said, "Okay, I've seen both the Vulcan plan and the blue bird plan, let's go first, and you can talk slowly." ”
After Liu Daming finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully, turned around and walked away, only Lin Fei and Ling Xue were left in the huge open space, Ling Xue suddenly said softly: "Brother City Lord, will you stay in Yanhuang City for a few more days this time?" ”
After Ling Xue finished speaking, she lowered her head, a few strands of jet-black hair scattered on her fair face, and her slender white fingers uneasily stroked the ends of the hair hanging down on her chest, adding a bit of delicacy to her shrewdness and ability.
Lin Fei sighed softly and said, "I can't stay longer, after a period of preparation, I will soon set up troops to Cebu Island." ”
Ling Xue pursed her lips and muttered, "Why do you want to fight again?" ”
Lin Fei said: "Attacking Cebu Island, on the one hand, is to seize the high-quality rubber on the island, and we can't build warships without rubber; On the other hand, there is a base for attacking Manila, Cebu is the base of the Spanish in the Visayas, if we take Cebu, we can control the entire Visayas, Habitoro in the Visayas is only a hundred kilometers from Manila, and it is very convenient for us to march into Manila from there. ”
"And there are still a lot of food stocks of the Spaniards on Cebu, and if we get these stocks to Mindoro, it will pave the way for an attack on Manila."
When Ling Xue heard "attack Manila", her tone suddenly became nervous, and she said, "You still want to attack Manila?" I heard that Manila was the stronghold of the Spaniards, the walls were stronger than Cotabato, the artillery was more than Zamboanga, and the garrison was 10,000, so it would be dangerous to fight Manila. ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "After taking Manila, we will be able to occupy the entire Luzon Island, and then not only will we get a large number of people and resources, but it will also be much more convenient to defend Taiwan, Samar Island is 1,200 kilometers away from Taiwan, and the northern part of Luzon Island is only 300 kilometers away from Taiwan." ”
Ling Xue nodded, "oh", and then lightly opened her lips, wanting to say something, but her lips moved a few times, and she didn't say anything, Lin Fei said, "Xue'er, just say whatever you want." ”
Ling Xue shook her head and said hesitantly: "No, it's nothing, brother, you must be careful when you are fighting......" Ling Xue said as she said with two red clouds floating on her face, suddenly twisted her body, and said: "I'm going to arrange the construction of warships, organize the cartographers to draw all kinds of drawings, and then stake, number materials, process, send them to the slipway, assemble ......"
Ling Xue's speed of speech became faster and faster, and she ran away as she spoke, Lin Fei looked at Ling Xue's back and wondered for a while, thinking to himself what happened to her this time? It doesn't seem to make the character angry......
Lin Fei didn't figure it out, thinking that Ling Xue's little girl's mind was really difficult to guess, so he put this matter aside and asked people to go to the army and navy generals for a meeting.
It turned out that Ling Xue had just wanted to sue Lin Fei, when he was on the expedition, he was very worried about him every day, and he often dreamed that Chen Fei was beaten to death at night, but Ling Xue felt that it was too embarrassing to say that she dreamed of Lin Fei every day, so she smacked her lips a few times and swallowed the words into her stomach, and then the more she thought about it, the more shy she became, so she ran away.
Ling Xue's delicate little girl thought that Lin Fei naturally couldn't think of it, and he didn't think much about it, so he returned to the "palace" and convened a meeting of the generals.
While waiting for the generals to arrive, Lin Fei reorganized the future things, the time for the Japanese army to attack the island of Taiwan was May 30, 1895, only three months from now, and our warships still have three months to build two, although the battleship talent has been cultivated, there is no problem of equipment and other people, but the run-in of people and equipment also takes a certain amount of time, and now it seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to defend the island of Taiwan in May 1895.
Then I might as well not be in a hurry, and extend the preparation time to six months, in six months, our Dragon-class cruisers can build four, with the advanced equipment of the Vulcan plan and the Blue Bird plan, the four cruisers are already not afraid of the Japanese combined fleet, and six months is enough time for us to capture Manila, occupy Luzon, and lay a solid foundation on Luzon.
Six months later, in September 1895, it was the time when the rebels and the Japanese army on the island of Taiwan were in the middle of a fierce battle, and the rebels and the Japanese army were like two people who were wrestling their wrists, and each side had enough strength to press each other's hands down.
Lin Fei then decided to take Manila in six months, occupy Luzon Island, and then send troops to Taiwan to annihilate the Japanese invaders.
At this time, army generals such as Li Mingming, Niu Dalong, and Chen Jingui rushed one after another, and Liu Daming and other naval generals also came, and the attack on Cebu Island had to cross the sea, so it was necessary to have naval support.
When Lin Fei saw everyone coming, he hung a map of the Philippines on the wall, pointed to the map and said, "Brothers, we are about to attack Cebu Island!" ”
There was a burst of excitement on everyone's faces, and Lin Fei talked about the importance of Cebu Island, which was about the same as what he told Ling Xue, and then said, "Chen Jingui! ”
Chen Jingui stood up and replied loudly: "My subordinates are here!" ”
Lin Fei said: "Cebu Island is the closest to Palombong on Leyte Island, and we will use Palomphong as a logistics base for this march, and you will immediately allocate 500,000 tons of grain, 400,000 rounds of ammunition, and 50,000 grenades to Palomphorn. ”
"Since there is a sea between Leyte and Cebu, this is a cross-sea operation for us to cross the sea to the island, and this kind of operation requires a large number of ships, so you immediately transfer fifty flying arrow warships and twenty large troop carriers to Palombhorn, understand?"
Chen Jingui replied loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I understand, there is no problem." ”
Lin Fei nodded and said, "It's good if there is no problem, logistics is the key to winning the war, and your responsibility is very heavy." ”
Chen Jingui said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you won't go wrong!" ”
Lin Fei nodded with satisfaction, and then he took out a small notebook, opened it and said, "I'll talk about the deployment of the Spanish army on Cebu Island now......"
At this moment, suddenly the door was slammed open, and Lin Fei looked up and saw a group of his subordinates rushing in, all with anger on their faces......
