The intelligence system of the Northern Bureau is much more advanced than that of the Qing Dynasty, especially the telegraph system. Although Fu Qing was a senior official in the Reform Commission, he had not received systematic scientific education after all!
The knowledge of Western science and technology in his belly is from the Chinese side. Many times, people's thinking and ideology determines his shortcomings!
He failed to realize the effective application of short-distance telegraphs. Perhaps he understood, but there was no talent available in his hands!
In this capital, there are only more than ten telegraph terminals belonging to Manchu, including the palace, the Telegraph Bureau, six ministries, Prince Gong’s Mansion, Prince Chun’s Mansion and the military camp outside the city!
No more than twenty telegraph machines can only form a rough intelligence network!
But how many Chinese telegraph machines are there? The Northern Bureau alone has set up 120 telegraph machines within the capital. Shuntian Prefecture, a direct territory outside the capital, is the area that encompasses the Sijiu City. There are more than 300 secret telegraph machines in the Northern Bureau!
Moreover, these telegraph machines are not the rough model used in the Qing Dynasty Telegraph Office, but are reduced spy versions specially made from Siemens, Germany. Of course, Prussia calls this telegraph machine military version and is rarely sold in the international market!
If it weren't for the head of state's face, Siemens would only sell ordinary versions to overseas!
In this era, it is still very difficult to establish an intelligence network. There is no radio or telephone, so we can only rely on wired telegraph machines to transmit messages!
It is easier to deal with ordinary civilians, but it will be troublesome if it is used in military use. Before acting or fighting, engineers have to set up telegram lines between the command centers. This work is hard and tiring!
There is no way, the technical constraint is that Xiao Letian cannot create a radio by himself. He can only guide the researchers in the Chinese University of China who are mainly engaged in electromagnetics and then invest a lot of money!
It takes a long way to go to the idea and theory to become practical products!
But no matter how difficult it is, the Chinese people are doing much better than the Qing Dynasty. The grid formed by more than 400 telegraph machines around the capital summarized all the bizarre riots that happened tonight into the embassy!
Next to the conference room is the sending room, where ten mailers and receivers are busy and busy. The sounds are connected together like dense rain hitting the roof, making people feel irritated.
What was the fire outside the city like? What were the rebellious slogans shouted by the factory slaves in Qinghe? The Kunming Lake camp was abnormal... Even the imperial palace nobles at the top of Jingshan did not come to the court and the palace were summed up in time!
Now who is the most well-informed in Sijiu City is still Xiao Letian, and only Xiao Letian!
Some people will be confused. Fu Qing is not without money or no place to copy the answers. Can't he learn from the Chinese and establish a telegram network?
At least all the city gates in the capital are installed with telegraph machines? Is the Qing Empire still lacking this amount of money?
After asking this, Mr. Fu Qing was probably going to cry to death. He really didn’t need money for the time being, but there was no one!
In the final analysis, it is still a loss of no compulsory education. Cultivating a sender is more difficult than cultivating a knight. This person must at least have the education level of the second-year Chinese!
You need to understand basic mathematics and physics, and you also need to know simple English. Sending and transcoding requires basic knowledge!
However, there are no such people in the court, and there are not many people in the Qing Dynasty. Anyone with this ability either goes to become an official or an official!
Even if you are a bookkeeping master for a big business, you will make a lot of money and feel relaxed and decent. Who will do this boring job for you?
Without a large number of talents with basic education, you can't even train a few transmitters. One year, the telegraph school under the Third Master can only be changed to the Qing Dynasty to provide more than 50 telegraphers. What is this enough to be used for?
The gap is too big, this is the concrete manifestation of the gap in national strength. Even if you are just an unknown telegrapher in history, you don’t have it, you don’t have it!
It is precisely because the Northern Bureau has built a fast telegraph network in advance that all the situation in the entire capital is under the control of Xiao Letian!
The Chinese senior executives in the room were sucking and making noise. Even Xiao Letian was stunned this time. He and his subordinates didn’t know who the mastermind was behind it!
Most people still think that this was done by the Japanese Sixth, but Xiao Letian firmly opposes, "No! It is definitely not the Japanese Sixth! You don't understand this person. Although he has the heart to kill Zaichun, he still believes in the interests of the Eight Banners Group in his bones!"
"This man is not a purely ambitious man, just fighting for his own selfish desires... When he finds that the people outside the pass have no control over the people's hearts and the Eight Banners have already shown signs of division, he will not take action!"
"Because what he wants is a powerful Eight Banners group revival, and it is definitely not the end of the country!"
"Whether Yi Li or Yi Yi Huan, how do they view the interests of the Eight Banners in their hearts? In fact, it is outside the gates. This is the root of all the Eight Banners and their core interests!"
"This is the last retreat they left for themselves. This retreat is the lifeblood! So no matter how big the Hunchun hit the Japanese Six, Yi will not take revenge!"
"The interests outside the pass are actually the core strategic interests of the Eight Banners Manchus! Just like the interests of the ocean are the core strategic interests of our Chinese people!"
"How do we view the first and second island chains? Then how will Manchus view the homeland outside the pass? Now think about whether the Japanese Six will rebel?"
The people present nodded, "Then it's hard to guess the mastermind behind the scenes. Without this suspect, everyone else looks like bad people!"
"What other people? If the Japanese Six are ruled out, then we Chinese will be the number one suspect! We have to take the blame if we don't take the blame!"
"Who made our Chinese people powerful in the capital!"
"If we have great power, we must be conspiring. Does the head of state still have to attack his apprentice? You must know that we have just achieved the strategic goal, and the fortress we want has been obtained!"
"At this time we cannot make Zai Chun's rebellion. We will refute those people's slandering in this way tomorrow!"
"Don't argue anymore. The purpose is not to find the real murderer now. But after the situation calms down tomorrow, society needs a real murderer. Even if we are not, we are afraid that they will decide we are alive!"
"It's easy to deal with! Then put the blame on the foreigners! Rakshasa ghosts and France are not good things, let's discuss and pass the blame!"
Xiao Letian looked at these people arguing, but he didn't say anything about life suddenly, he looked up and whispered, "You guys say... Could it be that the man behind the Great Marshal did it?"
Hiss... People suddenly became quiet and calculated that the possibility was really high!
"Head of the People's Republic of China, Jingshan's spy just now, Mr. Qing San took people to copy Prince Gong's Mansion, and the Minister of War Peng Yulin went to copy Prince Chun's Mansion... Ma Ming went to capture Prince Qing!"
"This Peng Yulin is the man of the Grand Marshal. Let's take a closer look at whether this old Peng is going to be a black man. If he is going to be a black man, then it may be the Hunan Army venting its anger!"
"After the assassination case, I will hit the Qing Dynasty again? This matter is interesting..."
Just as people were talking, suddenly a sentry from the head of state guard ran out, "Report to the head of state... the gate... the guests came from the gate..."
"Guest? Nostalgia, when will the guest come?"
The sentry said with a bitter face, "This... this guest is going to see the head of state, I can't beat him..."
