Chapter 1043
The airship flies over the vast Black Sea, when the sun comes out. The coastline, illuminated red, appeared in the pilot's eyes.
"We'll have to shoot it clearly in a moment! These things have to be presented directly to the marshal. The pilot said to the photographer behind him.
This is Da Ming's routine reconnaissance of the One Color Column!
Relying on the control of the Bosphorus, whenever the weather is fine, the Ming will send an airship to Sevastopol to hang around.
The Hebrews protested against the Ming several times, but the Ming insisted that as long as the airship did not land on the land of Sevastopol, it was not an invasion.
If the Hebrews dared to interfere with the navigation of the Ming airships, the Ming would block the Bosphorus and prevent all ships from entering the Black Sea.
This one was so deadly that the Ming Dynasty had closed the Bosphorus during the last war against Austria-Hungary.
As a result, all the merchant ships of the One Color were unable to go to sea. Outside aid could not reach the Isel.
Navy!
The Ming Navy is now truly across the seas, and no country's navy is the opponent of the Ming Navy.
Even the countries of the whole world united, they are not the opponents of the Ming Navy.
It firmly controlled the sea dominance, controlled Gibraltar, as well as the Suez Canal, Xinjiapo and other strategic points.
Da Ming can be said to control the entire ocean!
This little place in the Black Sea is not a problem. What's more, the Ottoman Empire was an undisclosed vassal of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty let the Ottoman Empire go east, and they definitely did not dare to face west. The blockade of a strait is not a big deal.
But the color column is different, they need access to the sea. They desperately need outside help!
Every day, cargo ships come and go between the Bosphorus.
Countless supplies donated by Hebrews from all over the world were transported to Sevastopol by sea.
The Bosphorus, a hurdle that the Hebrews could not cross.
Forced by the threat of the Ming Dynasty, the Hebrews could only dare to watch angrily as the airship swayed around Sevastopol all day, and then returned to their base in Constantinople with a puff of black smoke as if demonstrating.
It's the same today, just today. The airship was loaded with a new type of equipment, a high-precision camera.
The camera used for aerial photography on the airship was tested just last month. This is the first time I have been on an overseas mission!
If the aerial camera really works, they will take aerial photos over Sevastopol every day so that they can take it back for study.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was neither strong nor dim. The camera keeps taking pictures down on the airship!
After filming for half an hour, and after all the important targets were filmed, the airship left in a leisurely manner.
After flying back to Constantinople, the photographs were developed as quickly as possible. Then, together with people who knew Sevastopol, they were sent to fly directly to Daming on an airship.
From Constantinople, the airship had to fly all the way to India, and then divert to Siam and fly directly to Hainan. Then, depart from Hainan and fly to Beijing.
It's a long trip, although the airship is the fastest vehicle in the world. But it will take at least five days and five nights to go down this way.
You can sleep on the airship, but floating in the sky all day long, after all, your heart is not steady. So, this errand can be described as standard drudgery.
Li Xiao looked at the aerial photos on his desk, and the clarity could not be compared with later generations.
But fortunately, the airship can hover in the air, and the airship can also reduce the altitude unscrupulously.
This just makes up for the shortcomings of the aerial camera, and although the photos taken are not so clear, they can be seen clearly.
"Handsome! This is a Hebrew thermal power station, one was built last year. This year, another one was built in another direction.
If this thermal power station is completed and put into operation, there will be no shortage of electricity for the whole of Sevastopol. ”
The envoy pointed to the chimney that was emitting smoke from the photograph and said to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao knew at a glance that this was an aerial photo of the power station. The huge cooling tower was too obvious to be mistaken.
"How far have the Hebrews come to this?" Li Xiao looked at the photo in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The Hebrews were really powerful, and it was only two years. Two thermal power stations have already been built, although one of them has not yet been connected to the grid.
But looking at the progress of the construction, the construction will be completed by the end of this year anyway. In that way, Sevastopol will no longer have to worry about electricity.
Electricity is becoming more and more important to conventional energy sources.
Lighting at night requires electricity, and driving large motors requires electricity.
The motor is used in many places, and Daming motor is a rigorous export commodity. Each motor made by Daming is engraved with a steel stamp with a number.
Each motor in the number is a key object of protection. One less is a great crime to kill the head.
In this case, no one can take the motor away from Daming.
Motors have always been Daming's technical advantages. But now, this technological advantage is likely to have been broken.
Otherwise, no one can explain why the Hebrews built power plants on a large scale. For civil lighting alone, there is absolutely no need for so much electricity.
And it seems that the Hebrews were quite mature in their thinking about electricity. There are no poles on the streets, and all wires have special cable trenches.
This not only ensures that no one can connect privately, but also effectively resists detection, and does not let people know where the transmission line is buried.
"The port of Sevastopol at night can already be lit with electric lights. This year, we also generated large tower cranes and traces.
You see, these must be large tower cranes. I just saw our airship arrive, and I received a warning and hid it.
However, judging from the outline under the canvas, it must be a large tower crane used in the port. ”
Seeing the photo of the tower crane, Li Xiao knew that the secret of the motor was no longer a secret.
It is the responsibility of Lu Zhu to find out how the technology was leaked, and Li Xiao was very puzzled, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to leak this super secret.
I have already made up my mind that as long as this bastard is found, no matter who is behind him, he will die.
"The Hebrews grasped the secret of electricity so quickly, and they even figured out the motor. Can you find out where their technology came from? Li Xiao just asked casually, and didn't expect anyone to answer him.
After all, Daming's intelligence tentacles touched all over the world. But in Yishilie, Daming really did not succeed in developing an intelligence network.
The simple reason is that the Hebrews are too united.
The suffering experience of thousands of years of oppression has made every Hebrew want a homeland.
After thousands of years, this wish has finally come true. How could a Hebrew who was pierced with chicken blood betray his homeland.
The Ming spent a lot of effort and money among the Hebrews, and most of what they could get was false information.
Even if there are some reliable ones, they are half-truths.
Although Li Xiao successfully rebelled against Kafka Jr., he could not fully believe his words. After all, the existence of the entire Issaic column is in the interest of all Hebrews.
It is impossible for the Kafka family to completely fall to the Ming Dynasty for the sake of money.
Li Xiao is more inclined to think that Kafka Jr. is a double agent.
"I found out, it's an engineer from North American territory. Our people are already investigating how far new technology has gotten in North America.
The latest news hasn't come back yet, you know. There are no Han Chinese faces in North American territory, and it is difficult to break into them. ”
"North American territory?" Li Xiao immediately remembered that Kafka Jr. had said it at the beginning. Franklin from the territory of North America, this guy is definitely the best in the whole West when it comes to the study of electricity use.
I didn't expect the North American Territory to carry out research on electricity so quickly.
"Yes! The Hebrews are now helping the Hebrews install electrical installations by engineers from North American territories. There were about forty people! ”
"You even know the number of people so clearly?" Li Xiao asked in surprise.
As far as he knew, the intelligence network of the Ming in Sevastopol was not well developed.
"And it's thanks to the Russians."
"Russians?" Li Xiao was a little puzzled.
"That's right! At the beginning of the capture of Sevastopol, the Hebrews carried out a bloody massacre of the Russians.
The Russians hated the Hebrews, and now Russia is on our side. It is difficult to rebel against the Hebrews, but it is much easier to rebel against the Russians.
The engineers from the North American territories were very fond of drinking and looking for women, and Russian women were very popular with them, .......
Our intelligence is from the mouths of these Russian women. ”
"So it turned out, continue to closely follow every move of Sevastopol. Tell you, Commander, not to be anxious.
The Ming Dynasty has not yet freed up his hands to clean up the Hebrews, and it is impossible for your navy to do it alone.
Everything will have to be decided after the construction of the Central Asian Railway is completed. ”
Li Xiao knew what Li Xiu meant by sending this messenger, and Li Xiu couldn't help but do something to the Hebrews.
Li Xiao had no doubt that Li Xiu had the ability to destroy Sevastopol.
Not to mention anything else, Daming now has five Shanzi-class battleships alone. These five are all warships with three triple 480mm naval guns!
With the continuous bombardment, even if Sevastopol is an ironclad city, it will be ruthlessly destroyed.
It's just that it's easy to destroy Sevastopol, and even to conquer the entire monochromatic column. But behind the Isles, what about the Hebrew plutocracy, hidden all over Europe?
These people are hungry wolves hiding in the shadows. As long as one is not careful, it will be bitten.
"Shuai, the Hebrews have been too arrogant in the past two years.
Since defeating Austria-Hungary, they marched all the way north. Occupied Belize and crossed the Dnieper.
Now the sphere of influence is approaching Kyiv. If it weren't for our threat of blocking the Bosphorus, they might have been drinking in Kyiv by this time.
In addition, they attacked the Romanians to the west. The latest news is that they have captured Iasi.
To the east, they occupied Tbilisi.
Not just the occupation of the land, the Hebrew plutocracy was constantly agitating Hebrews from all over the world to relocate to the Iselles.
Last year alone, more than 800 migrant ships loaded with migrants sailed through the Bosphorus Strait and entered the Isle Column.
And that's not even counting the Hebrews who went overland to Iselle!
Conservative estimates put the number of Hebrews in the Iselles at one hundred and thirty thousand today.
This is already a force to be reckoned with in Europe.
What's more, the Hebrews had the backing of the Hebrew plutocracy. They have easy access to financial, demographic, and even technological support.
These are not available to Western countries.
If the Hebrews were allowed to continue in this way, their population would exceed two million within three years.
Moreover, it has strong industrial strength and military strength, and will be proud of Europe. At that time, it will be difficult to guarantee our interests in Europe.
Now those Hebrew chaebols are already trying to crack down on our Ming goods. Or even join forces to boycott our goods.
Last year, compared with the year before, exports shrank a lot, and some domestic factories had no choice but to turn the things they were going to export to domestic sales.
Dashuai, trade profits are too important to Daming. We can't give up the interests of Europe to the Hebrew Consortium. ”
When the envoy walked out of the door, Stilwell was a little breathless. He also felt that the time had come to teach the Hebrews a lesson.
At the very least, blow Sevastopol into a pile of rubble. Hebrew wolves must be broken from their backs and turned into leper dogs before they reach adulthood.
"Don't be in such a hurry!" Li Xiao smiled and glanced at Stilwell.
It seems that Li Xiu was not the only one who was wary of the rise of the Hebrews.
"No matter how much the Hebrews tossed around, the Isel was there and couldn't run away.
Since there is no way to run away!!
So let's just let the Hebrews toss hard.
What we want is not to defeat the Isle. Rather, it was the Hebrew consortium that was the driving force behind the elimination of the Hebrews, powerful and even capable of influencing European politics.
As long as these people are eliminated, we can guarantee that our interests will not be invaded within a hundred years.
But how to destroy the power of the Hebrew plutocracy?
It is definitely not possible to rush into the European countries and catch them, and it is estimated that you will not be able to catch a few or Hebrew plutocracy.
So what to do?
We asked them to invest all their manpower, material and financial resources in the city of Sevastopol.
That's why I didn't let the Navy block the Bosphorus indefinitely!
A few years later, the construction of the Eastern Railway was completed. Presumably, the strength of the Isshiri column has also reached a new height.
The backbone of Hebrews from all over the world will surely gather in Sevastopol.
By that time, the Central Asian Railway had been completed. The domestic projects have almost come to an end.
We have enough energy to deal with these greedy Hebrews. ”
