You can't have both, but without money, there is no way to have the armed forces, and without troops, in this era of troubled times, he has no sense of security.

So, money and guns must be both.

This requires a way to convey orders very quickly, and in modern times a telephone call is sufficient, and in this period the only way to send a message is to use the telegraph.

In 1835, mankind invented the wired telegraph, and on June 15, 77, Li Hongzhang set up a telegraph line between the East Bureau of Jinmen Machinery and the Governor's Office of Zhili.

This telegraph line was about 16 miles long and was the first telegraph line in China that was recorded.

On June 27, the first telegram was sent to this telegraph line, which contained only six words: "One o'clock at noon." ”

The "Xingyuan" here refers to the Governor's Office. Obviously, this telegram was sent from the Governor's Office of Zhili to the East Bureau of Machinery in Tianjin, and the time was "one quarter at noon".

From the perspective of the present, this is a very progressive thing. But at that time, under the confinement of traditional thinking, the government and the people regarded this incident as a strange thing, and did not reduce the railway driving in those years.

At that time, the "Declaration" was written in a commentary, and its main thrust was that the telegraph was a strange trick and degraded the telegraph to nothingness.

What a fragrance warning!

On January 16, 82, the "Declaration" published the first news special telegram in the history of Chinese journalism: "The Qing court investigated and prosecuted the dereliction of duty of the Yunnan envoys. ”

That's right, it's the "Declaration" that ridiculed the telegraph line as "strange and ingenious", and his face was swollen.

With the development of telegraphy to the present, various trunk lines have been built one after another, and a telecommunications network running through the whole country has been initially formed.

Sanjiangkou is an important node, but Yuanbao Town is not counted, the telegram is sent back in Fengtian City, and someone has to be sent to transmit information in the middle, which makes the information delayed.

How to build the cable telegraph line, Yuan Pengfei has no ability to influence. Fortunately, there is also wireless telegraphy in this world, and the inventor is a man close to God - Nikola Tesla.

He was a good scientist and inventor, but not a qualified businessman.

Nikola Tesla patented radio technology in the United States in 1897. However, the U.S. Patent Office revoked his patent in 1904 and granted Marconi a patent for the invention of the radio instead.

It is said that this move may have been the result of the influence of Marconi's financial backers in the United States, including the great inventor Thomas Edison and the steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.

It wasn't until 1943, shortly after Tesla's death, that the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the validity of Tesla's patent.

That's what the beacon country of liberal democracy does, it's very liberal and democratic, isn't it?

Of course, Yuan Pengfei despised this kind of shameless businessman in his heart, and in fact, he had to pay for the purchase of Marconi wireless telegraphs, and three robots trained three telegraphers, which was another lot of money.

For now, his behavior is still trend-setting. You must know that at the beginning of 99, Huaxia imported a few Marconi wireless telegraphs, which were installed on the Liangguang Governor's Office, Weiyuan and other fortresses, as well as the ships of the Nanyang Fleet for military command.

In the same year, the radio communication business of the empire on which the sun never sets took off.

Now that private individuals are doing this, it is estimated that those legendary European and American conglomerates can make it, and they are on the same level.

…………

On a hot summer day, cut a plate of chilled watermelon, and then have a Hademen, which is very refreshing.

Well, in fact, how can it be so cool, the watermelon is easy to get if it is chilled in the well for a while, but after smoking this cigarette, Yuan Pengfei insisted on "puffing" at the spittoon for a long time before spitting out the tobacco in his mouth, which felt terrible.

Cigarettes don't have filters, eating cigarettes is really "eating cigarettes", what kind of cigarette tobacco is what taste, he is now clear.

So far, he has not found a cigarette with a filter, and presumably this thing has not been invented yet. So he happily handed over the task.

Thanks to the lack of talents and the weak industrial base, Yao Tianxiong has not been able to give him a satisfactory answer so far, at most he can get some cotton filters by hand, which is better than nothing.

"Second brother, you're lazy again." Chuanwu ran back with a hoe in a single coat, saw the watermelon on the table, threw the hoe and picked it up and gnawed it.

Looking at it like this, maybe he found some reason to deceive the control of the transmission and quietly ran out.

Yuan Pengfei cocked Erlang's legs and retorted: "Cut, I eat by my brain, isn't it the same job to lie here, why do you say I'm lazy." It's you, don't be unbearable to the sin of farming, run out quietly! ”

"Hehe, it's not really this time." Chuanwu nibbled on three slices of watermelon in a row, wiped his mouth casually as he chatted about his clothes, "Second brother, didn't you draw my attention to a foreigner who may be Japanese?" I did find one today. ”

"Well, is it true?" Yuan Pengfei asked casually.

He had ordered this kind of thing, not only Chuanwu, but also his subordinates, who had given this kind of order.

It has always been a war with troops, and it is particularly important for commanders to have a qualified map, and for the Japanese who have always wanted to invade China, map mapping is the top priority, and the harvest is quite rich.

It can be said that the accuracy of the maps surveyed and mapped by the Japanese is more accurate than that surveyed and mapped by the Chinese.

When the Eighth Route Army went north to resist Japan, the commander of the 129th Division once borrowed a map from Yan Xishan, but Yan Xishan cried poor and said no.

Later, after the great victory of Pingxingguan, the Eighth Route Army captured a lot of maps from small Japan, some of which were surveyed and mapped by Yan Xishan's department, and some were surveyed and mapped by the Japanese themselves.

However, when comparing the two and two, the Japanese map turned out to be more accurate than Yan Xishan's map.

To what extent there are wells in a village, where the wells are located, and the approximate number of people are all incredible.

He would not be surprised at all if there were Japanese spies who came to Fangniugou to spy on intelligence and draw detailed maps, for this was the enemy's routine operation.

However, the order of counter-espionage was issued, but many times it was a false alarm, and after making an oolong a few times before: Yuan Pengfei didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, it was a small village, and it was not a strategic location, so if the Japanese wanted to survey and map, let them survey it, and the important thing was not to draw the barracks of his troops, because he didn't want to look naked in front of the enemy.

Hearing Yuan Pengfei's questioning attitude, Chuanwu was a little unhappy, although his original purpose was to come out and be lazy, but he really found out that something was wrong.

"Second brother, I promise you, what I found this time is absolutely different from the previous ones. The accent of this person has changed a little, and I can't say it, but it definitely doesn't look like a relative from a nearby village. ”

"Also, different accents don't mean anything, isn't our accent a little different from the locals, don't make a fuss." Yuan Pengfei waved his hand and said indifferently.

Because the accent matter has already happened twice, he doesn't want to do it again, it's thankless and embarrassing.

Chuanwu was even more anxious, "Second brother, don't believe me, this person may be true." I heard from the dogs in the village that this man was taking out the candy and asking the children about who had a well.

Then, none of those families were left behind, each family went to beg for water to drink, and he went to our house just now, maybe he will come to you again after a while, you say this is not like a Japanese spy? ”

Yuan Peng sat up at once, this Japanese is too arrogant, so he almost wrote 4 big words on his head, "I'm a spy!" ”

"Second brother, do you still eat watermelon?" Chuanwu licked his lips and said meaningfully.

Yuan Pengfei waved his hand and ignored him, thinking about how to test this spy suspect.

He has always fought with the Japanese, and he has never played Wendou, so how to let this person show his flaws is a very worthy question.

Chuanwu tasted the sweet watermelon, picked up the watermelon and continued to nibble, and said while gnawing: "Second brother, if you want me to see it, arrest this guy and ask first." If you don't say it, you will directly torture it and beat him until he says it. ”

Yuan Pengfei was taken aback by Chuanwu's tyrannical idea, if he caught the wrong one, this would be a trick to beat, who made him take human life so seriously?

"Chuanwu, how could you have such thoughts, who taught you?"

Chuanwu spit out a lot of watermelon seeds in his mouth, and said angrily: "Second brother, little Japan is too hateful. You haven't forgotten that we almost sank the ship by the cannon of the little Japanese, so let's be neighbors with the Sea Dragon King!

If you want me to say, these people who are accomplices in the war of little Japan are all damned. You still dare to draw a map of our cattle ditch, isn't this just to occupy our cattle ditch in the future? If you don't chop him now, what are you waiting for! ”

"Chuanwu, your idea is fine." Yuan Pengfei patted him on the shoulder, stood up and said earnestly: "If it's just a little Japan, I'll kill him casually."

But these people are not alone, there is an organization behind them, and a country is backing them. It's easy to kill him, but it's hard not to cause us trouble. If you want to live a peaceful life in the village, you can't attract the eyes of the jackals. ”

Chuanwu nodded, as if he understood a little, but he didn't understand.

He still has difficulty understanding the cruel fact that the country is weak and cannot help its own people to make decisions, and it is difficult for the people to straighten their waists.

And a strong country is a solid backing and an invisible deterrent. No matter how much they hate the Japanese, they can't blatantly do anything to them.

Because once the Japanese find out, no matter what the pressure, they can't bear it.

It is only under such circumstances that the Japanese can have the confidence to engage in espionage activities, and mapping maps is only one of their espionage activities.

"Is anyone there?"

Suddenly, there was an awkward-sounding inquiry at the door.

This is the suspect who drank more than a dozen houses of water in Chuanwu's mouth, Yuan Pengfei cheered up and greeted him.

"What's the matter?"

The young man, who was a little shorter, looked very energetic, and said fluently: "Big brother, I am thirsty when I pass by here, and I want to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

Yuan Pengfei's mind turned back and forth, and the words in the island country action movie were all over again. Yamei Daddy, but Mo Qi, one library and one library.........

But in the end, when it came to his mouth, it became: "Nani? ”

The young man was also stunned, thinking that he had met a fellow countryman. But take a closer look at Yuan Pengfei, 1.8 meters tall doesn't look like it!

I could only pretend that I didn't understand anything, and wondered, "Big brother, what are you talking about?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, my mouth is down." Yuan Pengfei said nonsense and shouted behind him: "Chuan Wu scooped a scoop of water for him." ”

The young man was stunned and understood, so he simply blocked the door. Seeing that this young man took a few sips of water with a water ladle very perfunctorily, and didn't say a few words to him, he thanked him and left.

Witnessing it with his own eyes, he is already sixty percent sure of the identity of this spy, and the remaining forty percent must find evidence. But that was enough for him to give the order to do it.

"It's okay this time, right? I don't know who said they didn't believe it at first. ”

Chuanwu watched the man walk away, and came up and said strange things, obviously he didn't believe Yuan Pengfei at the beginning, and he was still angry!

"Chuanwu, you have made meritorious service this time, and I will reward you when I go back." Yuan Pengfei ignored Chuan Wu's little emotions, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked to the backyard.

But Chuanwu hurriedly stopped in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry, when did you learn Japanese, can you teach me two sentences." ”

It's not okay not to appease this guy, Yuan Pengfei showed an unfathomable smile: "

"You remember, the cat knife cat knife Ya is stupid, bury and bury Chimoji, one Tai and one Tai Ha Yaku, one Ku and one Kusi Gao. If you can memorize these four lines of poetry, you will have no problem simply speaking to the Japanese. ”

Chuanwu blinked and believed it, looking at Yuan Pengfei's departing back, as if he was afraid of forgetting, and kept muttering: "Cat knife cat knife Ya is ...... dumbfounded"
