I want to ruin the country

Chapter 462: Telegraph and Telegraph Machine

The technician replied,

"Not now, but once we connect it with a wire, we can!"

Luo Shixin asked again,

"I can speak directly to my warriors wherever they are?"

The technician replied,

"Of course they can, but they'll have to set up a telephone line once they get there!"

Luo Shixin was very excited. This solved a big problem. The biggest problem in war was the lack of information and the inability to communicate up and down. With a telephone, it would be so convenient to give commands!

He asked,

"When will the telephone line to the capital be completed?"

The technician replied,

"I don't know, it might take a long time!"

Luo Shixin was a little disappointed again. It was too slow to deliver the message by relying on an express horse that could travel 600 miles!

The technician saw what he meant and said,

"General Luo, don't be disappointed. Once the transmitter is installed, you can talk to the emperor!"

Luo Shixin widened his eyes.

"Really? If I say this here, the Emperor in the capital will know it?"

"can!"

As the telegraph operator replied affirmatively, Luo Shixin still couldn't believe it was true. He said,

"Then tell the Emperor... tell... tell him that I miss Tang Guo!"

Luo Shixin played a trick. No one knew who Tang Guoguo was, so no one could say such words or make them up!

He wanted to test whether the emperor could hear his voice from thousands of miles away.

"Tick-tick, tick-tick, tick-tick."

After a series of ticking sounds, the operator stopped!

Luo Shixin asked hurriedly,

"What did the Emperor say?"

The telegraph operator said,

"Deputy Commander, I just sent your message. It will take a while to find out what the Emperor has said!"

In fact, the earliest telegraph machines did not have buzzers (audio oscillators), and the sound they made was the sound of magnets attracting and knocking.

It was very difficult for the radio operator to hear the length of the signal through this sound, so the audio oscillator soon appeared.

The sound of the transmitter became a series of long and short "beep, beep, beep", which made it much easier for the transmitter to hear.

Of course, Yining and his team couldn't start from scratch when building a radio transmitter. With the existing technology, they made it as advanced as possible!

Luo Shixin asked the radio operator to send another telegram to Zeng Zhenfan, which was all about some ordinary things in the army.

After a stick of incense had passed, the indicator light on the transmitter came on and the operator started working quickly.

After a while, he handed a translated telegram to Luo Shixin. This was Zeng Zhenfan's reply.

"I understand your call. Very good. Thank you for your hard work, Deputy Commander Luo!"

It’s amazing, it can tell what the sound is saying after a while of beeping?

After a while, the radio station picked up signal again. It was the emperor calling back. The translated message was,

"Deputy Commander Luo, it's true that I want to give Candy a sweet treat, and it's also normal for a lover to love his child.

Being ruthless does not necessarily mean you are a hero, and how can a loving person not be a real man?

Do you know that the one who stirs up the wind and roars wildly looks back and sees Xiao Yutu.

"But Princess Lotus is not on the general's mind. I'm afraid he would be heartbroken upon hearing this. Haha!"

Luo Shixin was overjoyed. He knew that the emperor was not really blaming him for abandoning Princess Hehua, but was actually teasing him!

"Hurry up and select talents and arrange training!"

He was happy that such a small transmitter could make the world seem so close, it was unbelievable!

Along with the telephones and telegraphs, a large number of batteries and human-powered generators were also transported.

Have you seen the old movies? In those movies, there is a person next to the transmitter, cranking a bicycle chain by hand. That thing is human powering the transmitter.

Of course, there are also pedaling like riding a bicycle, which also generates electricity.

With high-tech weapons, Luo Shixin is more confident about the future war with the British.

"Come on, Englishman, grandpa is ready and waiting for you!"

Knowing the emperor's plan, he kept a close eye on the situation in Myanmar.

From the British landing to Wu Bo's defeat, he received the information sent back by the intelligence personnel at the first time.

A few days later, the people sent by Wu Bo arrived at Luo Shixin.

This time they brought a formal memorial from King Paganman asking for help from Emperor Daqing.

Luo Shixin immediately reported the matter to the emperor and Zeng Zhenfan via the telegraph.

The Emperor replied,

"Follow the established guidelines!"

Luo Shixin understood, just drag it out!

The emperor meant that troops must be sent, but the timing must be right. If we go too early, not only will we not be rewarded, but they will also not be grateful.

It's like rescuing a drowning person. When you rescue him while he is still struggling, he might say,

"Why save me? I can get up here by myself!"

If you wait until he is out of breath and then rescue him, he will be grateful to you for the rest of his life, because without you, he will really be dead!

Now I have enough reasons to delay.

"I have already reported this to the Emperor in the capital. All we have to do is wait for the news!"

This is easy to understand. No one dares to mobilize soldiers to fight without the emperor's order.

It is six or seven thousand miles from Yunnan to the capital, and the round trip would take at least half a month.

After receiving the news, the emperor needs to think about it and discuss it with his ministers. It may take even a month for any news to come back.

You can't tell anyone about the radio transmitter, no matter who you are. It's a top military secret.

All Luo Shixin had to do was to intensify the training of soldiers and make all preparations for the march into Myanmar, while pretending to be anxiously waiting for news from the emperor!

Half a month passed, there was no news, twenty days passed, there was no news, a month passed, there was still no news.

Baganman sent a second wave of rescue workers!

The Pagan people could not help but be anxious. In this month, they fought several battles with the British army and were defeated every time.

His capital had been captured and Paganman fled with his ministers.

Now the entire Pegu area is occupied by British troops.

Myanmar's terrain is wide in the north and becomes narrower towards the south, stretching from north to south.

In this way, the British army divided Myanmar into two parts from the city of Bagan.

Paganman fled south with his ministers, while Wu Bo stayed in the northern mountains with an army of about 10,000 people to fight guerrilla warfare.

The British army continued to attack southwards, making rapid progress and occupying all of southern Myanmar in just over a month.

Paganman had no choice but to surrender as he did not receive any reinforcements from Daqing.

The British army was very kind to him and loaded him and his wives and concubines onto a ship and shipped them back to the British mainland, saying that Queen Victoria missed him and wanted to invite him to dinner at Buckingham Palace.

However, the British army did not allow the traitor Narodu to become king, but found a reason to kill him.

How can others treat you as a human being if you can even betray your own country?

At this point, all of Myanmar had fallen, except for a few people led by Wu Bo who resisted the British army in the jungles in the north.
