Chapter 789

Wu Sangui looked at the ruins of Kovelpati and was silent for a long time!

It was too shocking to destroy a city without using an army force and relying solely on an air attack. This is the first time in the history of human warfare for thousands of years!

The shape of the war has changed, a change that is not good for India. If this continues, the entire coast of India will be left uninhabited. If the garrison is outnumbered, it will be attacked by airships. Once the number of garrisons is small, the Ming army will continue to invade. The final result was that the coast of India was robbed by the Ming people.

"Li Xiao of the Ming Dynasty once said a very famous sentence, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Mr. Newton, now we are lagging behind. If you look at that crater, it's more than a dozen meters deep. I remember it used to be a factory there, the largest on the East Coast.

You see, it was the upper coal hopper of the boiler, and it weighed 1,600 pounds, and it was blown up two hundred meters away. The bomb is too powerful, and there's nothing we can do about the airship at the moment. You watched the Ming airships rampant in the air, and the people of the British Empire were ravaged? Mr. Doctor, we can't go on like this, we're going to lose the war. Wu Sangui looked at Newton, his face was very ugly.

Newton looked at Covelpati after the air raid, his face so gloomy that he could wring out water. The pretty seaside town is in ruins, littered with masonry and rubble. The smell of rancid smell was in the air, and even after many days of airstrikes, you could still smell the unpleasant smell of gunsmoke.

Unrestrained corpses could be seen everywhere in the streets, and crows were constantly circling in the sky, making unpleasant cries. Especially at the sight of the corpses of several children, Newton completely exploded. The small corpse is entangled like a twist. The charred corpse was brittle, and the crow could catch a hole in the Heavenly Spirit Gai if it landed on it.

It's a pity that there are no brains in my head. There was only a black mass, and the crow screamed in disgust and flapped its wings away. In broad daylight, rats run by on the ground from time to time. The mouse's eyes were red, and he saw Newton "squeak" and "squeak" a few times.

There were a lot of corpses in the ruins, and they were now food for rats.

Countless sums of money were spent, and many experiments were carried out. But the gasoline engine was not something that Wu Sangui could make with a few sketches that were difficult to distinguish between true and false.

First you refine gasoline, and then you can make a gasoline engine.

The gasoline engine has extremely high requirements for machining accuracy, and Wu Sangui's spy department selectively ignores the inconspicuous machine tools of the Ming Dynasty. It's not that they don't want to, but the eyes of the spy officers are all fixed on battleships, airships, and other things, and no one thinks that machining machines are the most important things.

With intelligence and research, it was easy to solve the problem of gasoline labeling. But stuck in the precision machining hurdle, no matter how you get it, this is the biggest problem.

"Maybe there's a way to deal with Daming's airship now." Newton looked at the sky and thought for a long time, and suddenly said something to Wu Sangui.

"What's the solution?" Wu Sangui brought Newton to the tragic scene today, just to use the tragedy of Kovelpati to arouse the anger in Newton's heart.

Li Hu was very satisfied with the results of the air raid, and squinted at Yuan Chonghuan, whose eyeballs were about to fall. Before, he would never have believed that a dozen airships could destroy an enemy city.

Although he didn't believe it, the results of the battle were laid out naked in front of him, and he couldn't help but not believe it.

When Li Xiao in the capital received the battle report, there were already snowflakes in the sky.

Technology is no different from Pandora's box, as long as you open it, new things will keep popping up. Just yesterday, there was one more thing on Li Xiao's desk. A dumbbell-like thing hangs on it, as long as you shake the crank twice, a nice voice will appear in the earpiece: "Dashuai, where do you want?" "After a while, Li Xiao will be able to talk to Sun Chengzong.

Li Xiao called this thing a telephone, but Sun Chengzong stubbornly thought that this thing should be called Shunfeng Er.

A seventy-year-old man names something new, and that requires respect. Now there are not many people in Daming who are qualified to install Shunfeng ears, and at present, only minister-level people can install them.

Attempts are already underway to erect a wire from Beijing to Tianjin, and if Shunfeng can transmit sound from Beijing to Tianjin, it will be of epoch-making significance. Especially for the railway authorities, the news is heavenly.

If intercity calls are possible, train scheduling will be much easier.

Li Xiao got on the train to Tianjin because a hero returned.

With two ironclads and three cargo ships, cross the vast Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean. Finally arrived in Boston, a North American territory, where he not only managed to transport weapons there, but also helped the people there fight the British in Lexington.

Under the fire of the ironclad ships, the British suffered heavy casualties, and finally had to abandon the attack and flee in disarray.

Taking advantage of the retreat of the British, Old Washington commanded a frenzied attack by a group of citizens with guns. Eventually, the English army was encircled in several cities along the coast. Ironclad ships are constantly cruising on the sea, and attacks are still being carried out on the shore.

The city was deprived of food and water, and was attacked by enemy troops every day. Within a month, the English army in the city had collapsed. Washington accepted their capitulation, and the once proud Royal Rifle Regiment of England came out with a white flag. They threw away their weapons and stood in a neat line, keeping their last pride.

Washington convened representatives of the thirteen North American territories for a meeting in Philadelphia to discuss the future of the North American territories, known as the Continental Congress.

"Boy! Lost a lot of weight. Li Xiao was startled when he saw Xiong Cixu, he didn't expect that the beautiful boy at sunset had now turned into a black charcoal head with dark skin, big eyes and small eyes.

"Thank you for your concern!" Xiong Cixu hurriedly saluted Li Xiao.

Behind Xiong Ci were rows of naval soldiers with equally dark faces. These people are not ordinary soldiers, but cadets of the Shanhaiguan Naval Academy and the Lushun Naval Academy. When it was known that there was such an operation, the two naval academies were almost hollowed out.

From the instructors to the students, they were all taken away by the principal. Even if you can't be a crew member on a warship, you have to be a crew member on a cargo ship.

As long as you can go down once, you will be a qualified navy when you come back. These people are very important as reserve talents for the Navy!

As for the gold shipped back from North America, Li Xiao was not very interested. After all, the most expensive thing in this world is talent, not these yellow things.
