!--The beginning of the chapter-- The original hot air balloons did not have a power system. They could only drift with the wind. The air valve at the top of the balloon and the coal furnace below could adjust the hot air in the balloon to raise and lower the altitude.
After leaving the main battlefield, the hot air balloon quickly descended to a distance of more than thirty meters from the ground. Because it was too cold at high altitudes, the four sentries' two layers of leather jackets could not block the cold wind.
At this height, you are almost walking close to the treetops of the primeval forest. The tall coniferous forests are endless, layered and endless along the mountain.
Looking at it from this angle will definitely greatly improve people's ability to understand military maps. The dense contour lines on the plane will now become real cliffs, mountains, river valleys... everything becomes three-dimensional and Come alive.
At the beginning of spring, some hungry animals have come out to look for food. People can see rabbits jumping in the snow, chasing foxes, groups of sika deer, and even clumsy bears.
Countless birds were hovering on the treetops. Occasionally, enemy cavalry could be found in the forest. It was not known whether they were patrolling or lone. As soon as they saw two Doraemon flying in the sky, they took off their rifles and pointed towards the sky. Fire.
Unfortunately, the bullet's power becomes weaker as it flies upward, posing no threat to the 'air force' in mid-air.
"Damn, I'm just too cold. If it were warmer, I'd have to pee all over your face... Hahaha!" The four flying sentries laughed, and the Cossack cavalry below jumped with anger.
The further you fly to the west, the quieter the sounds of the battlefield become. Gradually, the forest returns to its original appearance, peaceful and serene, and full of spring vitality!
"How rich this land is! The Prime Minister once said that the Far East may not look cold, but it is really a treasure land! Sticks beat roe deer and gourds scoop out fish, and pheasants fly into the rice pot! I didn't know what it meant before, but later I heard those cats When the brothers of Yi Dong said it, this is really the case!"
"Place it in Tanggu City and sell grass carp stewed in firewood for three silver dollars per pot. Here it is a casual game! If you dig through the ice, you can pick up two of them with just one brick..."
"Look at this old forest. They must be five or six hundred years old. There are many big trees that are as thick as four or five adults. As long as they are transported out, it will be all money..."
"My lame cousin is traveling all over the world to settle accounts. I heard from him that all the big Chinese businessmen are now furious, and they are all gearing up to win this war. In order to fight this war in the Far East During the war, all the war bonds issued were eaten up by them!"
"The Prime Minister has promised that once the Far East is founded, various industries will establish a franchise system! Whoever holds the most war bonds will have priority controlling rights!"
"For example, for timber development, the Prime Minister will issue four or five licenses. Then four or five companies can come in and make money. Steel, coal, grain, shipping... various industries can be converted into money! As long as the seaport In our hands, this treasure land will be transformed in three years!"
The more the soldiers talked, the more excited they became. Chinese veterans really have a lot of privileges. The military pay is high and technical troops are provided with various benefits. Especially these veterans of hundreds of battles, who all grew up with Xiao Letian and started their careers. When the Chu Chinese businesses first started, they took shares in many merchants.
The entire Chinese war is inseparable from the support of the businessman group, and the businessman group is also constantly using money to replenish the military. The two sides have now formed a community of interests.
The Chinese have become less and less like traditional Chinese. This group is extremely aggressive, and war has become more and more like a business in their minds.
Xiao Letian knew that such a situation would create a hotbed of militarism, but he had no choice. The most urgent thing before him was to mobilize the long-lasting blood of the Chinese nation. The backbone that had been enslaved by the Qing Dynasty and became weak must be tempered again by war. .
Let the Chinese people be willing to fight, dare to fight, and be able to gain benefits from fighting! The wild nature of the nation can be stimulated. This is the national spirit that is indispensable for competing with European powers in the future.
Binding the business group and the military group together is the biggest adventure Xiao Letian has taken in his life!
The chatting sentries were looking forward to the future. They didn't realize that just now a few white pigeons were flying towards the east, wiping Doraemon's smiling face. They didn't even know that the most important information was tied to the feet of these pigeons.
The carrier pigeon flew all the way east, and the battlefield was getting closer and closer. Soon the huge figure of the Zhiyuan appeared in the carrier pigeon's sight. When the white carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and landed on the pigeon farmer's shoulder, they didn't know the deck. A fierce conflict broke out before.
Zai Chun had already boarded the boat, and he was dejected when he met the angry Xiang Ying. Zai Chun, who felt guilty, wanted to avoid this senior brother, but he never expected that Xiang Ying would stride forward and raise his hand to make a big mouth.
Snapped! The slap was so loud that half of Zai Chun's face swelled up!
"Sangmen Star! Do you know how many fearless casualties your wanton actions have caused? You even forced the Prime Minister to use the last secret weapon! Do you know that these 20,000 people are not the final main force, there are still enemies behind... …”
The roaring Xiang Ying sprayed spit into Zai Chun's face. The little emperor was shocked and scolded him stupidly. Now His Majesty's bodyguards around him are quitting. There is nothing the Prime Minister can do to beat His Majesty. He has the title of master and disciple. .
Who are you, Xiang Ying, to dare to reach out to His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty? You want to rebel! Forty guards rushed forward and shook their fists.
"Rebellion! How dare you Xiang Ying attack the king!"
"Bullshit Xijun! The emperor of the Qing Dynasty has no control over my Chinese officials! I am the boss on the Zhiyuan!"
When the surrounding sailors saw that the other party was about to take action, they yelled to protect the captain. A group of sailors rushed forward and collided with Zai Chun's personal guards. The fight turned into a pot of porridge.
Zai Chun covered his face with tears streaming down his face, "What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong! All of you dare to scold me! If you don't accept the advice offered by the army, you say I'm causing trouble when I go to the front line to fight! I don't want to be treated as such by you. Puppet!"
The second grade disease broke out, and Zai Chun, who was confused in his adolescence, had himself trapped in it. He just accepted this as a dead matter. I meant well! Even if I do something wrong, you can't scold me!
Zai Chun had also been beaten in the military camp. He rushed up to take a beating and punched Xiang Ying. After all, Xiang Ying was older than him and had more experience in fighting. He turned aside to avoid the punch, and then reached out and grabbed it. The wrist was twisted back and put directly behind the back.
Xiang Ying twisted Zai Chun's arm and shouted, "You still don't accept it? So many people died because of you, and you still have reason? Is there straw in your head?"
Zai Chun's arms were turned behind his back, his face was red from suppressing it, but he still stood upright despite the pain, "I don't accept it! I just don't accept it! If you dare to beat me to death... don't think that you are awesome just because you command the Zhiyuan. Sooner or later I will." There are warships ten times bigger than yours! Because I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! I am the emperor of the Celestial Kingdom where all nations come to court!"
Hey... Xiang Ying is so angry! This is still a hob meat!
