In the mid-19th century, it was an era when telegraph lines began to expand rapidly around the world, but it took humans half a century to invent telegraph technology to truly connect with the world.

In real history, the success of telegraph technology in the laboratory was completed by American scientist Morse in 1837. Then in 1843, Morse, with the support of the US Congress, built a 64-kilometer-long practical telegraph line, and the popularization stage of telegraph technology was initiated.

But at that time, the telegraph lines could only expand on land with difficulty, and the deep ocean was an insurmountable gap for telegraph lines. Until 1850, the first undersea telegraph line for mankind was laid between Britain and France, which opened the era of information conquering the ocean. Then, in 1866, the successful laying of the telegraph line across the Atlantic between Britain and the United States marked that human communication technology could conquer the deep blue.

The successful laying of the Pacific submarine cable represents the formal completion of the Global Submarine Cable Network, which will be until 1903.

Don’t underestimate the promotion of telegraph technology. Xiao Letian is unusually sensitive to telegraph technology, because he knew that the period from 1837 to 1903 was actually the last flash in the pan of medieval intelligence.

Due to the backward transmission of information, it is difficult for global wars to form a unified banner. Whether it is Britain or France, once the troops conquering the world are sent out, everything can only be left to God to make a decision.

Not to mention direct command of the army in China, even if the specific position of the army is now subject to speculation, it is like the two Opium Wars of Britain and France. There were strong opposition voices within the British Parliament from beginning to end, and even if it was won, it could not directly intervene in the negotiations in China. Many treaties were discussed by ministers from various countries and military generals, and everything was primitive and crazi.

It is precisely because the Global Telegraph Network was in its initial establishment that Xiao Letian was given a very good entry point. He could invest in the Global Telegraph Network in advance, not only could he get the profits he made in the future, but he could also gain the commanding heights belonging to the Chinese from the intelligence war.

A very simple example is that the telegram communication between Vladivostok and Moscow must now pass through an area controlled by Xiao Lotte. The Russians sent intelligence from North Korea to Beijing, then Beijing sent it to Hong Kong, and then transferred it to the telegram network in Southeast Asia, then into the Indian Ocean, and then into the Middle East and the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.

This created the best opportunity for the CIA of Ryukyu to intercept the hearing. All the Russians' actions in the Far East were completely transparent to Ryukyu.

In fact, Russia is like this. The embassies of Britain, France, and the United States in Beijing are actually under the surveillance of the CIA of Ryukyu. However, the telegram encryption technology of Britain, the United States and other countries is obviously better than that of the Russians. Until now, Ryukyu has only cracked less than 30%.

For Xiao Letian, the period before the Global Telegram Network was built was actually the last opportunity for weak countries to rise against the trend. Once Europeans took the lead in entering the era of global intelligence sharing, then all the resources of the entire colonial world will be mobilized.

What important information happened in Beijing? The Prime Minister of London could see it in an hour or two. A military conflict broke out between Russia and Ryukyu, and it would take less than three hours to learn about it globally.

All intelligence personnel around the world share a large network, and any country's military operations cannot escape the eyes of the great powers. For Xiao Letian, it means that the era of strategic waste is completely over.

By that era, it was impossible to make a small investment and return on a military adventure with a small investment. By the 20th century, human beings gradually entered a period of purely competing for industrial strength. There were not so many legends in the war, and some only had the battle to extort the last bit of national strength.

The United States in later generations rose in such an era.

It is precisely because Xiao Letian is familiar with the profound impact of the revolution in information technology on human society that he seizes every opportunity he can take advantage of for himself. Today, the information he sent to South America was an important judgment on the current global situation.

Xiao Letian's top secret information was released from Ryukyu and transferred to Hong Kong through the Qing Dynasty's land telegraph line, and finally arrived in the UK through South Asia, India, and the Middle East. He went straight from Britain to North America and then went south through Mexico, Central America, Colombia, and Peru.

It took a full week for such a telegram to be published to accepted, which is extremely precious to Tang Lei, Tietoutuo and others.

When Xiao Letian released this telegram, he did not know that the Iquik victory and the Zhiyuan had participated in the war. In the telegram, Xiao Letian issued a total of three instructions.

First, the Taiping Army should try to expand the scale of this war in South America. Don’t just get one Iquique and imagine swords and guns entering the warehouse. The horses will be released to the Nanshan Mountain. The intensity of the war should continue to escalate. It is best to capture the capitals of Bolivia and Peru. If possible, some conflicts against British and French merchants can be created, with the purpose of distracting some Europeans.

Tang Lei and Tietoutuo looked at each other, nodded, and then tore off the first part of the telegram, and half of them were chewed and eaten.

The two of them lowered their voices and said, "It seems that the Prime Minister is under a lot of pressure? We cannot let Britain and France turn all their attention to Ryukyu. We should help the Prime Minister share some of it..."

Let’s look at the second article. The CIA branch of the South American CIA should prepare to support the Zhiyuan warship. Xiao Letian did not know that the Zhiyuan had participated in the war in violation of regulations. He thought that the Zhiyuan was still sailing silently in the ocean. In the message, he decrypted the Zhiyuan return route map to Tang Lei and Tietoutuo and asked them to prepare for the response.

The two of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads. One half of them also gave the second piece of information. "Prime Minister! You know that Xiang Ying looked like a scholar on the surface, but his bones were like Master Long. They were all bold and ruthless guys. They fought against the entire Peruvian navy alone. It was too late for you to come with the order..."

Let’s look at the third article. Xiao Letian asked the South American intelligence branch to mobilize resources to invest in Tahiti, especially to increase the construction of infrastructure such as docks, and organize expedition teams to conduct South Pacific expeditions, try to discover more islands, erect monuments as records, and first seize a group of islands from a legal perspective.

If conditions permit, a group of people can be left to stay on some islands that are suitable for residence. The ultimate goal is to form an island chain in the South Pacific, but it must be demilitarized in the early stage to avoid stimulating the British.

The third part of the telegram was also swallowed, and the two of them imprinted each word of the Prime Minister's order in their hearts. "It seems that we have to be busy again. It's so refreshing to follow the Prime Minister. There will always be new surprises waiting for us!" Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
