357 Northern Australia
Chinese. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)
The five-story Ministry of National Defense building in the western suburbs of Beijing is finishing up on the former Fengtai Daying, and most of the construction workers have left, leaving only a small number of people who are undergoing interior renovations.
Due to Li Mo's attention, the Ministry of Construction specially hired some ancient architects to set up a cultural heritage department to protect all kinds of ancient buildings and cultural relics on the land of China, and the old Beijing City, including the Forbidden City, is listed as a first-class protection facility, so buildings with a large area such as the Ministry of National Defense and factories with serious pollution can only be built outside the old Beijing city.
In front of the construction site, Chen Ping and Li Enfu put aside the supervisors they had introduced, and jointly inspected the Ministry of National Defense building, which looked like a five-pointed star from the sky, covering an area of nearly 1,000 acres.
"Pentagon!"
A smile hung on the corner of Chen Ping's mouth, he had nothing to say about the strange shape of the building designed by Li Mo himself, maybe only God understood how many strange points were hidden in the emperor's mind.
As the core brain of the three armed forces in the future, the Ministry of National Defense Building can be said to be sturdy, beautiful and practical, and the vaulted dome in the center of the pentagram hides the communication center of the core of the entire building, and when it is completed, it can receive wireless information from any small island or even a military station.
According to the news from Chang Lin, a generation of wireless has been tested, for the first time using an encryption technology called frequency hopping, which can make communication plus security not easy to decipher, Tesla also achieved short-distance voice transmission for the first time in the test, that is to say, in the next few years, the army will probably have a first voice communication ability without a telephone line.
All of this stems from Li Mo's crazy investment in the electrical industry, especially in the miniaturization technology of electric tubes, the electrical laboratory is making breakthroughs one after another, and I recently heard that there is a thing called transistor.
Of course, Chen Ping did not understand this kind of technical stuff very well, he only knew that in the next few years, the troops will be successively equipped with a generation of radio communication equipment, and the construction of radio networks throughout the territory is also being intensified.
As one of the killers of the Chinese army, the contribution made by radio is unmatched by any technology, and without it, it is impossible to complete the ambush of the Russian Far East Fleet. Without it, it would have been impossible to be the first to discover the Japanese fleet, implement long-distance remote monitoring, and finally succeed in the ambush. Without it, the Air Force would not have been able to accurately locate Yokosuka "The Japanese problem will be resolved at least a few years later."
These are all thanks to the advent of radio, so to this day, the wireless troops are still a core secret, although they are attached to the company-level troops, but each radio has its own number, and it needs to send a special signal to the superior station twice a day, so that the superior radio station is sure that the terminal is still under the control of the troops. 【 I want: super fast update 】
At the same time, the radio transmitter in the design "also for the first time to use some anti-disassembly technology, damaged radio can only be taken to the technical department for repair, unauthorized disassembly will detonate the hidden inside."
The key thing is that to this day, the radio unit is still the first "every communications officer in the unit is detached, they accompany the troops to ensure smooth communications" but are not under the command of the officers of the troops, and even for the sake of secrecy, it is also determined for the first time that after encountering major ambushes and casualties, the communications troops can withdraw on their own without bearing the court-martial prosecution.
It is this series of means that ensures that radio is still an exclusive technology, although some countries in Europe and the United States are also studying, but it will take some time to break through" and even if it is a breakthrough, they are only equipped with the first generation of simple systems" in the face of their own side has to install the third generation.
It is the application of radio that makes it possible to receive messages from various terminals while sitting in Beijing: "There is good news and bad news, and they gather together, wait for the evaluation and reply of the General Staff Headquarters, and then send it back to each terminal for implementation."
The news was secretly sent from Europe, relayed by the long-wave radio on the reconnaissance ship Tingfeng, which was patrolling the Arabian Sea, intercepted by the newly established Borneo radio listening and repondering station, and then relayed to Luzon and Ryukyu and finally reached the listening stations on the small islands off Shandong and Lushun almost simultaneously, where it was relayed again and returned to Beijing.
It seems that the telegram has taken a long road and detoured tens of thousands of kilometers, but in fact it is only a short two hours from sending to receiving, which is still because of the time gap between forwarding and receiving, plus the long-wave signal is not ideal, which makes it so long. According to Chang Lin, when the first generation of frequency-hopping radios is installed, the transmission and processing speed of the telegraph will be increased, and the secrecy will also be stronger.
Can it greatly compress time Chen Ping and Li Enfu are not in a hurry, and they are in a hurry at the moment to listen to the news forwarded back by the wind number.
Nicholas II has burst beans!
Yes, it's really exciting!
200,000 troops, divided into Central Asia, West Asia and Eastern Siberia, and began to recruit 50,000 Cossack cavalry, plus he also had to recruit 200,000 infantry in the two places again, these alone are enough to 450,000 people, plus the original garrison in the Far East, the total strength is as high as 600,000!
In order to strengthen the control of the Far East, the former Minister of War Kuropatkin was appointed commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Military District, and it can be seen that Nicholas II is determined to fight this battle.
Although according to the efficiency of the Russians, it will take at least a year for these troops to arrive one after another, and the temporarily recruited and formed troops are not much of a threat, but the problem is that the Northwest Army on his side is also in battle, and how long does it take for Sun Jiugong to pacify the territory, and it has become the key to come out.
Originally, as the war in Borneo was coming to an end, a large number of native coolies were driven out of the dense forest and became coolies for the construction of Borneo and various places, and the 100,000 Southwest Army and five marine regiments could also draw their hands, at least half of them could be reinforced, but the sudden problems in Australia caused the General Staff to disagree on whether to transfer them back.
Walking into the building of the Ministry of National Defense, the wide corridor paved with marble, the huge war analysis room, and the conference rooms of the first class made Chen Ping very satisfied, and even Li Enfu was a little envious to know that the total area of the Prime Minister's Mansion was less than half of this, although it was slightly larger, but the decoration was quite simple, but it also cost a lot of military spending, but after all, it was the brain of the three armed forces and it was designed by the emperor himself, and it would be used for many years after completion, so some advanced problems were not big.
Along the way, Chen Ping found the office of the chief of the general staff located on the inside of the building, and there were no furnishings in the large office, but a ceiling fan had been installed on his head.
Li Enfu glanced at the ceiling fan and thought that this was probably the electrification advocated by Li Mo, that is, to use electricity as much as possible in the future and develop more electrical products that can use electricity.
Li Enfu turned on the ceiling fan, tried it for a while, turned off the switch, turned his head and asked, "Yuanshou, has your General Staff made a decision to send troops into Australia?" ”
Chen Ping's eyebrows tightened and whether or not to send troops to Australia was an extremely cautious matter, not because he was worried about Australia's poor armed forces, nor was he worried about the projection of troops, and it was still political factors that restrained the General Staff Officer's delay in making a decision.
Although Australia is making trouble, it is still a British colony at the moment, and according to the intelligence, Australia envisions a federal system similar to Canada, and the nominal high leader is still within the scope of the British Commonwealth, and the nominal high leader is still the British royal family!
In this way, if you meddle in Australia from the outside, I am afraid that it will immediately go to the opposite side of the UK, and even if you start from the inside, I am afraid that you will expose your own arrangements over there, so it will be such a headache.
Gu Zhi Chen Ping didn't speak for a long time, and Li Enfu also knew what he was worried about and asked, "Yuanshou, what is Duan Fei's plan over there?" ”
Duan Fei is ready to use the old method to incite confrontation and use the population to coerce Western Australia not to join the federation for the time being, but this trick may not work, because that will expose our arrangements in Western Australia.
Li Enfu nodded, Western Australia is currently China's three important sources of overseas materials, where the iron, aluminum, oil and other heavy materials sent occupy a large part of China's imports, if it is not for the two major iron mines in Maoshan and Hainan have been put into production, I am afraid that the status will be more important.
Therefore, it is extremely important to maintain the status quo of Western Australia, and even to merge Western Australia into China's territory, where the resources are too rich, everyone who knows the detailed data will probably be red-eyed, if it were not for the fact that Thomas Mining and other companies are registered abroad at this moment, plus Thomas is smart, play more Australian cards, and the British do not know the details, I am afraid they would have been expelled long ago.
But as the confrontation between China and Britain intensifies, no one knows whether this delicate balance deliberately maintained by the two sides will be broken, after all, Britain's influence on Australia is unparalleled, and if the six major Australian states finally form a federation, no one can guarantee whether it will fall to Britain.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain troops in Borneo and Bactria , but military means can only be the latter option, and the side effects of military means are also very obvious, and it is very likely that Hua will become the public enemy of the whole of Europe!
After all, China lacks a strong ally that can contain Britain in Europe, so whether the emperor can reach a comprehensive agreement with Germany on this visit is crucial.
Thinking of this, Li Enfu immediately said: "Yuanshou, do you think you can use the method of moving huā to join the wood?" ”
Move huā graft?
Chen Ping was surprised: "Mr. Li, what do you mean ......?"
Li Enfu immediately explained: "Western Australia can't move! This is the principle, once Western Australia does it, then our ignorance of where will be exposed, in that case, unless military means are used, otherwise it will definitely not be able to end well. So I think we can take this disaster to other states in Australia and divert the attention of the other side in Western Australia......"
"Hands-on in other states?!"
Chen Ping took a breath, in addition to Western Australia, there are indeed some hidden investments in other places in Australia, and they are not using Chinese hired labor, if these people are allowed to move, then the Australian government will definitely have to stabilize internal stability first, but the question is where to do it?
"North Australia!"
Li Enfu squinted his eyes and slowly spit out these two words.
