When Naresh was still in Poland preparing to display his grand plan and beat the shit out of Long Yanjun, he was surprised when he received a letter from Portugal.
As a former maritime colonial overlord, Portugal, like Spain, has become a country that can hardly survive.
Although it still has the name of an empire, it is already in a state of decline.
A letter from him?
Normally there is no exchange between the two countries.
However, Naresh still opened the envelope and looked at the design drawings inside, his face changing from surprise to shock to ecstasy.
He could read these designs written in dragon flame characters.
The meaning of these words, when combined, means bicycle.
bike!
This is what Naresh has always wanted to know, how Long Yan made this device that can speed up the march, and now he finally
He never expected that this bicycle design drawing would be delivered to him in this way. This was something he never expected.
At this moment, Polnev walked in.
"Oh, Polnev, you came just in time. Go and investigate for me. It was our outstanding agent who did this. I didn't find his name."
Naresh waved and laughed heartily.
Polnev looked at the envelope in Naresh's hand with confusion: "What news did the general get?"
Naresh nodded. Today can be said to be his happiest day. He showed the design drawing in his hand to Polnev.
Polnev looked at the content on the design drawing, and his expression suddenly changed.
He also knows the Long Yan writing and can understand the content on it.
"This is the design drawing of Long Yan's bicycle!"
"Oh my God, which agent got such a design drawing? This..." Polnev was so excited that he couldn't describe it in words, and he didn't know how many adjectives were stuck in his throat.
Naresh smiled and said: "No matter who he is, we have to find it. Such people should be rewarded."
"Also, this design drawing should be sent to the military researchers immediately for them to analyze it. It is best to create a bicycle with the same performance as Long Yan in the shortest possible time."
"I have received news that it won't take long before we can launch an attack on Long Yan."
After hearing this news, Polnev nodded solemnly. What he wanted to do most now was to compete with the Dragon Flame Man.
To wash away the shame of his previous failed battles.
This opportunity was coming to him soon, which made him excited enough.
After thinking of this, Polnev immediately went to find out who provided them with the information.
This is simply a timely help.
Naresh narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Long Yan now occupying Poland's territory, and smiled. With bicycles, they could launch a counter-raid against Long Yan.
The balance of victory will tilt!
…
At this time, the Ottoman Empire.
King Yong is negotiating with Hamid about building a train.
"Your Majesty, the construction of the train is progressing well now."
"When the construction of the route is completed, the strength of the Ottoman Empire, which has a strong transportation route, will definitely go further!"
Hamid nodded, indeed with the train, their transportation route will be more powerful.
The current construction of train lines directly radiates to the Polish battlefield.
For Long Yanjun, the railway is a transportation line and a life support line. When the railway is completed, they will have an unrivaled combat force on the Polish battlefield.
At that time, the Franco-Austrian-Russian alliance will face a Longyan Army that is well-supplied and capable of fighting for a long time.
"King Yong, I also heard that Long Yan is currently researching a kind of train carriage, which is said to be able to transport a large amount of supplies. I don't know if we, Osman, can equip such a carriage." Hamid said shamelessly.
King Yong chuckled: "The carriage you mentioned does exist, but now Long Yan is still in the research and development stage, and the equipment will have to wait a while."
King Yong did not continue the following topic.
After receiving this answer that was not an answer, Hamid smiled and continued to chat with King Yong.
Now in Europe, Western Europe has been suffering from constant wars during the Winter War, and many countries are in financial crisis.
They had to adjust their strategies, make a temporary truce, and usher in a short-term peace.
On the Eastern European side, there has never been any major progress on the battlefield here. Whether it is Tsarist Russia or Austria, or they, Longyan and Ottoman, are all in a delicate balance.
No one tried to break this balance.
But they all know that this situation cannot last long and will eventually be broken.
The battlefield that Austria is now focusing on is Silisili. They have retaken Silisili. Although the plan to attack Berlin has gone bankrupt, this does not mean that all battles are over.
Tsarist Russia didn't know what it was planning and made no moves.
"No matter how the battlefield situation changes in the future, the railway is the basis for us to cope with future changes. We need to speed up the progress." King Yong said in a deep voice.
"We need more labor and cooperation from more factories."
Faced with King Yong's request, Hamid thought for a moment.
The Ottoman Empire is still an autocratic monarchy, and the need for more labor means that some people need to stop farming and enter factories.
But now the Ottoman structure still relies on traditional agriculture to maintain the basic operation of domestic life, and the industrial system is not perfect.
Moreover, most of the land in the Ottoman Empire was controlled by the nobles, who held a large amount of land in their hands.
If more farmers are forced to work in factories, their land will not be taken care of, which will directly affect their interests.
It is bound to cause resistance from these nobles.
However, as King Yong said, the railway will be their cornerstone in the future, and with the railway they will be able to develop faster.
"Why, is your Majesty in any trouble?" King Yong asked directly.
Hamid rubbed his forehead. He was sitting in the emperor's seat. As the most powerful person in the Ottoman country, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this time.
Industrial reforms are necessary, and these nobles who rely on imperial power should be restricted.
"Oh, it's nothing, King Yong. I will take care of this matter."
King Yong saw Hamid's dilemma. This scene was very familiar. Long Yan had been like this for a while.
This is due to the backwardness of the system. Because the entire country is highly centralized, the society is still an agricultural society and wants to progress to an industrial society.
It will touch the interests of many nobles, and these nobles are born with power based on power. Hamid is the most powerful person in the Ottomans.
If he goes to reform, he needs to consider his own interests and the interests of the nobles who depend on him for their survival.
He didn't have the means or courage to give up everything he had now.
