Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 1970: Qiguang communication ship
Many overseas territories of the subsequent empire want to be independent. This kind of thing is actually the inevitable result of historical development and industrial development. There is no way to stop the greatness of Li Xuan, the son of the emperor.
Or rather, he didn't want to stop it.
If he wants to stop it, he doesn't need to do anything to prohibit localization. It's not enough to directly prohibit immigrants from going to North America.
But is Li Xuan banned?
No!
Instead, he continued to encourage and support immigrants to North America.
No matter whether North America is industrialized or not, whether it will rebel or not in the future, it will be one of the main living lands for the Chinese nation in the future.
The East Continent and West America hold two major breeding grounds, and the Chinese nation can still stand proudly at the top of the world even after hundreds of years.
This is what Li Xuan has been pursuing in recent years.
It doesn't matter how many countries this nation eventually forms, and who is stronger and who is weaker in these countries.
To analyze the global strategy of the contemporary Tang Empire, it is impossible to look at problems purely in terms of the interests of the empire, the interests of the current ruling class of the empire, or the interests of the royal family.
We have to look at the problem from the interests of the entire Chinese nation.
If you look at the many policies of the Tang Empire from the perspective of the entire Chinese nation, you will find that everything is so logical.
For example, the policy of localization, the Tang Empire insisted on localization in some overseas territories, instead of just establishing colonial rule in many overseas colonies like the Spaniards, and then enslaving the local indigenous people for production to obtain a lot of benefits.
If the Tang Dynasty, like the Spaniards, managed many overseas territories simply as colonies, the difficulty would be reduced countless times, the military expenditure would be very small, and the resistance they would encounter would be very small. Profits will also be greater.
Instead of operating overseas territories in a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and even unfortunate localized way as it is now.
Why does Datang want to localize?
The purpose is very simple, and there is only one purpose, that is, to make these places forever the land for the survival of the Chinese nation!
Even hundreds of years later, even if these places are independent from the empire, the people living in these places are still Chinese.
This is what the Son of Heaven values.
This is also the reason why the Datang Empire today implements policies that seem contradictory, or even have no obvious benefits.
To put it bluntly, what Li Xuan thought in his mind was different from what contemporary people in the Tang Dynasty thought.
It's just that Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, values these things, but it doesn't mean that other dignitaries in the empire also value them.
But Li Xuan didn't care much.
As long as the empire remains stable before he dies and moves in the direction he chose, then he basically doesn't care about other things, let alone the future.
The job of the Hound throughout the Empire is to ensure stability.
Chen Guangqing is well aware of this, and this is why he is personally preparing to handle this localization case along the railway line.
The Son of Heaven needs the stability of America, and Hantong needs to ensure the stability of America.
The prestige of Hantong's Eagle Dog is still very great. The American affairs co-organizer, that is, the cloud co-organizer, directly succumbed to the prestige of Hantong, and honestly explained everything he knew.
He knew very well that if he didn't say it, or said it wrongly, the fate of his immediate boss would be his fate.
And he didn't want to step down, let alone die!
According to the many clues provided by the cloud co-organizer, plus other clues under the control of Hantong, the agents of the Hantong Americas Department were everywhere. With their efficiency, they quickly gathered many clues and pointed them to a few people.
Not surprisingly, there were quite a few of the three vassal kings, and all of them secretly participated in this matter.
Of course, the three vassal kings are not stupid, they will never participate in it openly, let alone actual evidence, even indirect evidence will not leave a trace.
All the clues that could contact the three kings have been interrupted one after another, and several important intermediaries have long been missing.
But there is no need to have detailed evidence for many things. Chen Guangqing just summarizes the investigation process of the case and then reports it.
He didn't have to worry about what happened next.
Even if the boss believes it or not, he doesn't need to worry about how to judge.
His mission has been completed, and along the way, he has also controlled a number of secret clues that have not been found to be related to the three vassal kings in the past, and they will continue to monitor secretly in the future.
Hantong America's investigation in America, its investigation report can't be sent back for a while, and it has to fly across the sea before it can be sent back to the mainland along with other official documents.
As for the time when the mainland has made a judgment and conveyed the next instructions, it is estimated that it will be more than a month later.
There is no way, let alone wireless telegrams now, even if there are no wired telegrams across the ocean, ocean-going communications can still only rely on ships.
Compared to twenty years ago, the only change is that the communication ships have changed from sailboats to only steam ships.
In recent years, the Navy has specially built several small and medium tonnage fast communication ships, basically regardless of any combat capability, regardless of cost, only speed.
The naval communication ship Qiguang, which was commissioned last year, uses a super-high-horsepower steam unit, a ship with a large aspect ratio, and is driven by pure steam power, with a maximum speed of 22 knots.
The most important thing is that the average speed of the ship is very high. For the first time, the ship crossed the Pacific Ocean to and from Shanghai and Xinjinshan, creating an amazing speed of 18 knots on average.
With the current steamboat technology of the Tang Dynasty, many ships, especially warships, can reach the maximum speed of 18 knots.
For example, several cruisers can reach a maximum speed of 18 knots, and some battleships can even reach a high speed of more than 20 knots.
However, this speed is only the maximum speed, which requires the steam engine on the battleship to sail at maximum power. This maximum speed often cannot last for too long. If it lasts for a long time, the power system will be greatly damaged, and the fast sailing will be carried out for a long time. If so, it is estimated that the power system will have to be overhauled after running.
And the bigger possibility is that running and running the power system will be finished...
If we only talk about cruising speed, in fact, most warships go on ordinary cruises and when there is no combat mission, in order to save coal and avoid damage to the power system, they basically only run about ten knots~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If yes When encountering combat missions, it is necessary to speed up, and Datang's cruisers generally only run about sixteen knots.
As for running more than 18 knots, it will only be done in a combat state such as fighting or chasing the enemy.
As for the use of cheap ships, frigates with poor power systems and other offshore patrol ships are even worse, and their best speed is generally only about fourteen or five knots.
Anyway, the enemy's sailing warship is slower, and the speed of more than ten knots is already sufficient.
Today, the Qiguang communication ship can reach an average speed of 18 knots, and it is not affected by wind direction, ocean currents, etc., and can run in a straight line, which greatly shortens the communication time between the mainland and overseas territories.
But even so, the round trip takes a long time!
