C1049 Telegraphic Order (1/2)
The middle leaf of the nineteenth century was precisely the era when telegraph line s began to expand rapidly around the world. However, it took half a century for humans to reach the true global connection from the invention of telegraphic technique s.
In real history, the success of the telegraphic technique in the laboratory was personally achieved by the American scientist Morse in 1837, and then in 1843 Morse, with the financial support of the United States Congress, built a 64 kilometer long practical telegraph line, which was the beginning of his popularization phase.
However, at that time, telegraph line could only expand their footsteps on land with great difficulty. The deep ocean was a gulf that telegraph line could not overcome. Until 1850, when the first Underwater telegraph line was laid between the English and French s to start the era of information conquest, and then in 1866, when the transatlantic telegraph line successfully was laid between Britain and the United States, it signified that the communication technology of humans could conquer the deep blue.
The successful installation of the Pacific Ocean Undersea Cable represented the official connection of the Global Undersea Cable Network, which was to be completed in 1903.
Don't underestimate the promotion of telegraphic technique. Xiao Letian was unusually sensitive to telegraphic technique, because he knew that the sixty years he had spent from 1837 to 1903 was just a flash in the pan.
Because of the backwardness of the message, it was very difficult for the global campaign to form a united flag. Whether it was Britain or France, once the conquest troops sent out, everything would be left to God to decide.
Forget about directly commanding the army in the country, even the specific positions of the troops had to be guessed, just like the two times where Expeditionary forces s fought in the Opium Wars, from the beginning to the end, there was a strong opposition from within the British Parliament, and even if they won, the country could not directly intervene in the negotiations, many of the treaties were negotiated by the ministers and generals of the army, everything was primitive and crude.
It was because the global telegraph network was just established that Xiao Letian had a very good entry point. He was able to invest in the global telegraph network in advance, and not only would he be able to get a share of the profits from the future, he would also be able to obtain a high point from the intelligence wars that belonged to the Chinese.
A very simple example was the telegraph communication between the Haishenwai and Moscow, which had to pass through the area controlled by Xiao Letian. The Russian sent the information from North Korea to Beijing, and then Beijing sent the information to Hong Kong, where it was transferred to the telegraph network of Southeast Asia, and then to the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, and then to the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.
This created the best opportunity for Ryukyu to intercept him. Russian's actions in the Far East were completely transparent to him.
In fact, this was the case for the Russia. The British, French and American embassies in Beijing were also under the supervision of the Ryukyu.
To Xiao Letian, the period before the Globe telegraph network Channel was completed was actually the last chance for the weak nations to rise. Once the Europeans entered the era of intelligence sharing, all the resources in the entire colonial world would be mobilized.
In just one or two hours, the Prime Minister of London would be able to see that the Russia and the Russia had clashed. In less than three hours, the entire world would know about it.
All the intelligence personnel in the world shared a big net, so the military actions of any nation could not escape the eyes of the strong.
