Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Boom boom boom!
The artillery shells landed above the command post, shaking the command post hidden in the underground anti-gun cave and causing dust to fall.

John Stark and his subordinate officers and staff shook off their hats and dirt.

At this time in the command post.

Everyone's expressions were a little solemn.

The power of the Ming army's bombardment made these American generals feel very heavy.

"How's it going? What do you think?"

John Stark asked.

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay.

America's senior military officers all know that this battle is not easy to fight.

Liam Cooper, the commander of the Helena Corps who was the first to come to the front line, frowned and saw that everyone had nothing to say. As a senior officer who best understood the situation on the front line, he could only stand up bravely at this time.

'Mr. General, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. We are obviously lagging behind in terms of artillery. The opponent has a lot of long-range artillery!This is information we have not received before. Their shelling distance is very long. According to estimates, it is already ten kilometers away, which is beyond the visual range! '

"According to intelligence, they have used a new communication technology that can achieve long-distance real-time communication. They are likely to use this out-of-sight range strike weapon by observing closely and observing real-time guidance to prevent the artillery from firing!"

Liam Cooper's words made the officers present look even more solemn.

"Is it wireless telegraphy?"

John Stark asked with a frown.

The Chinese's keenness to use new technologies in warfare worried him.

Many new technologies emerge while people are still imagining some application scenarios.

The Chinese have already put it into practical use.

Some details of the naval battle between the Ming Dynasty and Britain have also been unearthed, and the intelligence agencies of various countries have noticed the "telegraph", the latest new technology introduced to the battlefield.

In fact.

The research on electricity by the Ming Academy of Sciences inevitably affects the research direction of the European scientific community.

Europe’s heritage is still profound.

Sometimes even if the Ming Dynasty took the first step, the Europeans would soon catch up.

Wired communications are actually studied in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, although the Ming Empire invented wireless communications, it was not too far ahead.

In previous wars, everyone could at least observe the opponent through visual distance and never took countermeasures.

but now.

The Chinese artillery can already bombard from beyond visual range.

Just started the war.

The feeling that they might be far behind their opponents really made the officers present feel very depressed.

"We have nothing to do with this kind of long-range artillery. They launch attacks outside the visual range. Now, they have not really completed the offensive deployment, and they have used this heavy artillery to make us suffer. Once they are ready to attack, what will happen to the artillery? How violent it is, I can't even imagine that our soldiers may become cannon fodder."

Liam's words caused the officers present to nod silently.

"Their firepower clearly overwhelms us, and we need to use stronger defenses to resist! In addition, we also need reinforcements!"

One of the officers stood up and shouted.

His statement was met with echoes.

Of course these senior American military officers know this very well.

For the United States of America.

This war must also be fought.

Because the industrial layout of the United States revolves around war.

In recent years, the factories in the northern United States have been almost entirely directed towards the military industry.

If there is no war.

How can these produced things be consumed?

not to mention.

These hundreds of them also know what the purpose of the Chinese people coming to North America is.If they don't pick up a gun and fight now.

Up to 30 years.

Throughout the entire North American continent, the Chinese population will account for an overwhelming majority.

When will it be.

Even if the United States wants to fight, I'm afraid it won't be able to do so - not to mention, it's not certain whether there will be a United States by then.

Since everyone wants to fight.

Then this head-on confrontation on land is inevitable.

"In fact, our goal has been achieved. At least Zhu Yixin is here with his army, which means that the Chinese's main attack direction will be on this side. We can just follow the plan."

John Stark said.

"The second boot has dropped and we have nothing to worry about."

The officers present stood up one after another.

"It's nothing more than a battle!"

"Long Live America!"

"Your Majesty, the U.S. military's wireless message has been intercepted and decrypted!"

Zhu Yixin's frontline command post.

The one who was speaking was Lieutenant Colonel Lin Yuankai, the eldest son of Lin Minghe, the current Governor of California.

His face was a little excited.

Although wireless telegraphy only appeared recently.

However, Lin Yuankai, a super academic staff officer who graduated from Daohua University, has discovered the possibility of obtaining intelligence from radio! !

just now.

He actually succeeded! !
Zhu Yixin and Lin Zexu were discussing on the dense map.

Around the city of Helena, there were densely planted small flags symbolizing the strength of both sides.

Hearing Lin Yuankai's words.

Zhu Yixin straightened up.

Lin Zexu waved his hand to his nephew and said, "Read it!"

"The main force of the Ming army has gathered in Helena City. The northern defense line is in danger of being breached. Please immediately mobilize the reserve team to go north for support!"

Zhu Yixin nodded when he heard this, with a smile on his face.

"The Americans are really trying to lure me north for a decisive battle!"

He turned to look at Lin Yuankai.

"Yuan Kai, that's good! The Communications Department has done a great job this time! I guess the Americans don't know about the radio interception yet, so keep an eye on it during this time!"

'Yes! '

Lin Yuankai grinned, kept his body straight, gave Zhu Yixin and Lin Zexu a military salute, then turned and left.

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Americans must be north of the Missouri River. They must want to break in from the flank and attack our left wing when we are attacking the enemy in front of us. This intention is considered a conspiracy. They have put up a grand formation. , seems to be very confident!”

"The Americans have been waiting for help for more than ten years!" Lin Zexu took a deep breath and said, "If we open up and fight, it will be a war that will destroy the country! The Great Plains of the Missouri Basin is really too flat, even more so than the Central Plains. It is flat, and railways have been built, and the rivers are also convenient for transporting troops. If a decisive battle takes place in this area, both sides can invest 300 million troops!"

Zhu Yixin tapped his hand on the table.

This determination.

It’s really hard to get off.

Once you make up your mind.

That's a big gamble!
"My king's fifty thousand elite cavalry are ready."

Zhu Yixin stood up.

Walked back and forth a few steps.

"The Great Plains of Missouri are perfect for transporting troops! Let's bleed the American blood right here!" (End of Chapter)
