Since mankind entered the Industrial Revolution, specialists have slowly replaced the all-rounders of the Middle Ages, and systems have gradually replaced individual power.
Any scientific and technological progress is driven by countless people. For example, the Chinese Navy’s killer weapon, the Zhiyuan, has more than 100,000 people of all kinds working on it from design to launch!
Who produces the rubber for warships? It must be a large rubber factory, a total industrial body that systematically researches new rubber.
Who will produce the steel for warships? Steel plants with less than 10,000 people are simply not qualified to take over this task.
Who will produce the instruments for the hull? Doga precision instrument factories scattered across Prussia have received top-secret orders from the military.
There is also a high-strength 210 main gun. From the steel model and rifling production to the design of the automatic ammunition feeder, more than 60 senior engineers were used.
There are countless examples like this. Even if you take out a screw, Kevin can tell you a story. The Zhiyuan, a battleship that transcends its times, is the product of the combination of Xiao Letian's genius design ideas and Prussian industrial strength. ,Indispensable.
However, even if Prussia's top scientific research power is used, the overall data of this Zhiyuan is actually not as high as the data of the real Zhiyuan in Xiao Letian's previous life.
The decades of time difference cannot be made up by the strength of the country. All Prussia can do is to approach Xiao Letian's drawing requirements without limit, but cannot truly surpass it.
The generation gap of twenty years is enough for mankind to hoard a large number of emerging technologies. These technological powers are the wealth of all mankind. It is unrealistic for Prussia to completely surpass them.
With Prussia's industrial strength and technological level, it was so laborious to build a Zhiyuan ship. So with the capabilities of the Qing Dynasty, could they replicate such a warship?
Of course not! This is what Xiao Letian said, teach you, but you will never be able to do it! Isn't this a very sad thing?
"It can be expected that when the ambitious Zai Chun returns to the dragon throne in the Forbidden City, when he puts the dreams of a powerful country that he has fantasized about countless times in front of the people of the Qing Dynasty..."
"Haha..." Xiao Letian smiled regretfully, "He will find that a dream is a dream, and it is not reality at all. To realize the dream, you need a powerful system! And how to build this system?"
"Unfortunately, I won't teach Zai Chun! Because no matter how I teach him, he can't learn it!"
Hiss... Xiang Ying took a breath of air, "Master... Master! You... what are you trying to do? Teach Zai Chun some dreams that he will never be able to realize? Why do you still do this when you know that he will never be able to achieve it?" Do you want to teach him? Why on earth is this? "
Xiao Letian did not answer the question directly. Instead, he changed the topic, "I will tell you why later, but now I want to give you an explanation from another aspect!"
"Why should I teach Zaichun a lot of military knowledge, help him train troops, and instill in him geopolitical knowledge? I even want him to personally participate in every battle!"
"Yes, many people don't understand what I do. They definitely think that I am creating a big problem for the Chinese people! But I don't think so..."
"Believe me! Zai Chun will be a big trouble in the future, but it is destined not to be ours. His trouble will be used in the Qing Dynasty! To tell you the truth, Zai Chun is very dangerous now, and it is the kind of danger that involves life. …”
"The CIA has repeatedly provided the danger level of the Manchu and Qing civil wars. The new army trained by Prince Gong in Xishan is nominally thirty thousand, but in fact he is mixing it up. Now the total strength of the new army in Xishan is approaching fifty thousand. The force issued by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties A large part of the wealth amassed by Beipiao has been invested in the Xishan New Army!"
"This army does not belong to the imperial court, but only belongs to Cixi and Yi. In fact, Cixi is also a little infatuated. This army has long been controlled by Yi. At the critical moment, he will only listen to Yi!"
"Will Ci'an allow Cixi to grow bigger? Absolutely not. The intelligence leaked from Master Qing shows that Ci'an's envoys are currently lobbying secretly in Mongolia and outside the country. Ci'an himself has a great reputation, Mongolia The princes and some iron hat kings in the Northeast are relatively close to Ci'an. Once there are changes in the capital in the future, what will these people do?"
"Haha! Third Master Qing has begun to contact the radical faction among Shanxi merchants with the help of the old shopkeeper Fan's family. Now Shanxi's caravans are transporting new weapons to the north with the help of Lotte Foreign Company. The largest number of them are cavalry. Spencer, who was born with a gun!”
"Isn't the answer ready to come out! The Spencer was designed for the cavalry from the beginning. Now, after my request, the paper-wrapped Spencer is no longer produced. The full-metal shell Spencer assembly line will be available this summer. Let’s settle in Tanggu! What do you think we’re going to do?”
"Of course it is armed with a powerful Mongolian cavalry force, equipped with a fixed-loading metal bullet case Spencer, plus a group of war horses that come and go like the wind. Do you think Ci'an was given in vain?"
Xiang Ying was dumbfounded. He had just returned to China and had not had the opportunity to come into contact with such in-depth information. During the two years of studying abroad, he really did not expect that such big changes had taken place in the country.
"Not only that! Yi Xuan also holds the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates, and the three thousand capital garrison is also a force that cannot be underestimated... Even the fifth master of the capital, Yi Pei, is a knight who only knows how to eat, drink, and hang out in the market. The king is already ready to make a move!"
"It is conceivable that the current Gyeonggi area has
4000
What has become? What kind of mess will Zai Chun encounter when he returns to China in the future? Moreover, Zaichun's character is simple and direct. He does not have the political depth of the generations of British masters of the Manchu ancestors, nor does he understand the principle of exchanging time for space and overcoming strength with softness! "
"In other words, once Zai Chun takes office, conflicts will inevitably intensify! After all, I am his teacher! Can I just watch Zai Chun die? I have to let him live..."
"Do you understand now? What I have tried so hard to teach Zai Chun is actually a way to save his life... Although this brat has many faults, his sins will not lead to death!"
Xiang Ying swallowed hard. He felt as if there was a typhoon and everything was in chaos. He didn't expect that the domestic situation was so chaotic.
"Then... what about the Hunan Army? What is Marshal Zeng's attitude?" Xiang Ying asked.
"The handsome man's health is no longer good! According to the current condition, if he can persist for two years, he will be considered a profit! And as his physical condition gets worse and worse, his ability to control the Hunan Army will become weaker and weaker!"
"Now it is difficult for everyone to judge the future actions of the Hunan Army. Zuo Zongtang is in the northwest, Li Hongzhang is stationed in Shandong and Jiangsu, the nine commanders are old, and the other generals are not prestigious enough..."
"Chaos! The future of the Hunan Army is chaos!" Xiao Letian looked at the sunset that was completely submerged in the sea, and rubbed his temples fiercely.
"No matter how much you hate Zai Chun...be nice to him for the time being! Maybe, this is the last happy time in this child's life! After leaving me, he will never have the peace, joy and happiness he has now..."
