Chapter 174 174 [Japanese spies] Happy May Day!

You can't have both, but without money, you can't arm the army, and without the army, he has no sense of security in this era that is about to enter troubled times.

Therefore, money and guns must have both.

This requires a method that can convey orders very quickly. In modern times, a phone call is enough. But in this period, besides sending people to deliver messages, the only option was telegraph.

In 1835, humans invented the wired telegraph. On June 77, 6, Li Hongzhang set up a telegraph line from the Jinmen Machinery East Bureau to the Zhili Governor's Office.

This telegraph line is about 16 miles long, and it is the first telegraph line in China that has records.

On June 6, this telegraph line sent its first telegram, which contained only six words: "Xingyuan at a quarter of noon."

The "Xingyuan" here refers to the Zhili Governor's Office.Apparently, this telegram was sent from Zhili Governor's Government Office to Tianjin Machinery East Bureau at "a quarter of noon".

From the current point of view, this is a very progressive thing.But at that time, under the imprisonment of traditional thinking, officials and people regarded this incident as a strange thing, and did not reduce the railway driving in those days.

At that time, "Shenbao" wrote a commentary, and its main purpose was to say that the telegraph is a strange skill, and it deprecated the telegraph for nothing.

Really fragrant warning!

On January 82, 1, "Shenbao" published the first news telegram in the history of Chinese journalism: "The Qing court investigated the malfeasance of Yunnan's inspectors."

Yes, it was the "Declaration" who ridiculed the telegraph line as a "skillful trick", and his face was swollen.

Since the development of the telegraph, various main lines have been built one after another, initially forming a telecommunication network that runs through the country.

Sanjiangkou is an important node, but Yuanbao Town is not counted. In Fengtian City, when the telegram is sent back, someone has to be sent to deliver the information, which makes the information delayed.

Yuan Pengfei was incapable of influencing how the cable telegraph lines should be constructed.Fortunately, there is still wireless telegraphy in this world, and its inventor is a man close to God——Nicola Tesla.

He is an excellent scientist and inventor, but not a qualified businessman.

Nikola Tesla patented radio technology in the United States in 1897.However, the U.S. Patent Office revoked its patent in 1904 and instead granted Marconi a patent for his invention of radio.

It is said that this move may be the result of the influence of Marconi's financial backers in the United States, including the great inventor Thomas Edison and the steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.

It wasn't until 1943, shortly after Tesla's death, that the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed Tesla's patents as valid.

This is what a lighthouse country of freedom and democracy does. It’s very free and democratic, isn’t it?
Of course, Yuan Pengfei despised this kind of shameless businessman in his heart. In fact, he had to spend money to purchase Marconi wireless telegraphs. The three operators trained three telegraph operators, which cost a lot of money.

For now, his behavior is still trend-setting.You must know that at the beginning of 99, Huaxia only imported a few Marconi wireless telegraphs, and installed them in the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi, Weiyuan and other fortresses, as well as ships of the Nanyang Fleet, for military command.

In the same year, the radio communications business of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets had just begun.

Now that private individuals do this, it is estimated that only those legendary European and American conglomerates can do it, and they are considered to be on the same level.

…………

In the hot summer, it is very refreshing to cut a plate of chilled watermelon and have a Hadman.

Uh, in fact, it's not so cool. It's easy to make the watermelon chilled in the well for a while, but after smoking this cigarette, Yuan Pengfei insisted on "poohing" into the spittoon for a long time before spitting out the shredded tobacco in his mouth. Terrible.

Cigarettes do not have filters. Eating cigarettes is really "eating cigarettes". He now knows what kind of cigarette tobacco tastes like.

So far, he has not found a cigarette with a filter, probably this thing has not been invented yet.So he happily handed over this task.

Thanks to the lack of talents and the weak industrial base, Yao Tianxiong has not been able to give him a satisfactory answer so far. At most, he can get some cotton filters by hand, which is better than nothing.

"Second brother, you are lazy and relaxing again." Chuanwu ran back in a single coat carrying a hoe. When he saw the watermelon on the table, he threw the hoe and picked it up to eat.

Looking at it like this, maybe they found some reason, cheated Chuanwen's control, and ran out quietly.

Yuan Pengfei crossed his legs and retorted: "Cut, I rely on my brain for food. Isn't it the same job lying here? Why do you say I'm lazy. It's you, don't you can't bear the crime of farming, Run out quietly!"

"Hehe, it's really not this time." Chuanwu ate three slices of watermelon in a row, wiped his mouth while talking about his clothes, "Second brother, didn't you remind me of a foreigner who might be Japanese? Find one."

"Well, is it true?" Yuan Pengfei asked casually.

He has ordered this kind of thing, not only Chuanwu, but also his subordinates have given such orders.

Having a qualified map has always been particularly important for commanders when fighting troops. For the Japanese who have always wanted to invade China, map surveying is a top priority and the harvest is quite fruitful.

It can be said that the maps drawn by the Japanese are more accurate than those drawn by the Chinese.

When the Eighth Route Army went north to fight against Japan, the commander of the 129th Division once borrowed a map from Yan Xishan, but Yan Xishan complained that he didn't have it.

After the Pingxingguan victory, the Eighth Route Army seized many maps from Japan, some of which were surveyed and mapped by Yan Xishan's troops, and some of which were surveyed and mapped by the Japanese themselves.

However, comparing two by two, the Japanese map is actually more accurate than Yan Xishan's map.

To what extent is it accurate, how many wells are there in a village, where are the exact locations of the wells, and the approximate population size is simply unimaginable.

If there were Japanese spies coming to Fangniugou to spy on intelligence and draw detailed maps, he would not be surprised at all. This is the enemy's routine operation.

However, the anti-espionage order was issued, but most of the time it was a false alarm. After several oolongs before: Yuan Pengfei didn't take it too seriously.

Anyway, it’s a small village, and it’s not a strategic location. If the Japanese want to survey and map, let them survey. The important thing is not to draw the barracks of his troops. He doesn’t want to look naked in front of the enemy. .

Hearing Yuan Pengfei's questioning attitude, Chuanwu was a little unhappy. Although his original purpose was to come out to be lazy, he really found something was wrong.

"Second brother, let me assure you, what I found this time is definitely different from the previous ones. This person's accent has changed a bit, and I can't tell, but it definitely doesn't look like someone from a nearby village visiting relatives."

"Also, a different accent doesn't mean anything. Isn't our accent a bit different from that of the locals? Don't make a fuss." Yuan Pengfei waved his hands and said indifferently.

He had already made two mistakes because of his accent, and he didn't want to do it again, which would be thankless and embarrassing.

Chuanwu was even more anxious, "Second brother, don't believe me, this person may be real. I heard from the dog in the village that this person took out candy and asked them children who had a well.

Then, he didn't leave any of those households behind, and every household went to ask for water. He went to our house just now, and he might come to you again later. Do you think this looks like a Japanese spy? "

Yuan Peng sat up immediately, the Japanese is too arrogant, he only wrote 4 large characters on his forehead, "I am a spy!"

"Second brother, do you still eat watermelon?" Chuan Wu licked his lips, and said with unfinished thought.

Yuan Pengfei waved his hand and ignored him, but he was thinking about how to test this suspected spy.

He has always been fighting with the Japanese, and he has never played Wendou. How to let this person show his flaws is a question worth thinking about.

Chuanwu savored the taste of the sweet watermelon, picked up the watermelon and gnawed it, and said while gnawing: "Second brother, if you want me to see it, just arrest this guy and ask first. If you don't tell me, just torture him directly. , Hit until he says."

Yuan Pengfei was taken aback by Chuanwu's tyrannical idea. If he was caught wrong, it would be a trick of torture. Who made him not take human life seriously?
"Chuanwu, why do you have such an idea, who taught you?"

Chuanwu spat out a lot of watermelon seeds from his mouth, and said angrily: "Second brother, Little Japan is so abominable. Have you not forgotten that we were almost sunk by Little Japan's cannon, and we are neighbors with the Sea Dragon King?" Bar!

Let me tell you, those who helped little Japan launch a war should all die.You still dare to draw a map of Zafangniugou. Isn’t this because you want to occupy Zafangniugou in the future?If you don’t chop him up now, what are you waiting for? "

"Chuan Wu, your idea is fine." Yuan Pengfei patted him on the shoulder, stood up and said earnestly: "If he is just a little Japanese, I will kill him casually.

But these people are not alone, there is an organization behind them, and a country is behind them.It's easy to kill him, but it's hard not to get us into trouble.If you want to live a more peaceful life in the village, you can't attract the eyes of wolves. "

Chuanwu nodded, seemed to understand a little bit, but he didn't understand.

He also has difficulty understanding the cruel fact that the country is weak and cannot help its people make decisions, and it is difficult for the people to stand upright.

A strong country is a solid backing, an invisible deterrent.No matter how much they hate the Japanese, they can't do anything to them blatantly.

Because once the hands are discovered by the Japanese, no matter what kind of pressure it is, they will not be able to bear it.

It is under such circumstances that the Japanese can engage in espionage activities with confidence, and mapping maps is only one of their espionage activities.

"Is anyone here?"

A question with a somewhat awkward tone suddenly came from the door.

This is the suspect who Chuanwu said had drank water from more than a dozen houses. Yuan Pengfei cheered up and greeted him.

"Here, what's the matter?"

The young man was a little short, but he looked very energetic, and he said fluently: "Brother, I'm thirsty when I pass by here, and I want to ask for a bowl of water."

Yuan Pengfei's mind went back and forth thousands of times, and he went over all the words in the island country action movie.Daddy Yamei, don’t worry, one store after another...

But when he thought of the end, when it came to his lips, it turned into: "Nani?"

The young man was also taken aback, thinking he had met a fellow villager.But take a closer look at Yuan Pengfei, he doesn't look like 1 meters!

He could only pretend that he didn't understand anything, and asked in confusion, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm out of my mouth." Yuan Pengfei made nonsense, and shouted behind him: "Chuan Wu, give him a ladle of water."

When the young man was stunned, he understood, so he simply blocked the door.Seeing the young man drink a few sips of water with a water ladle in a perfunctory manner, he thanked him and left without chatting with him.

After witnessing it with his own eyes, he was already [-]% sure about the identity of this person as a spy, and the remaining [-]% had to find evidence.But that was enough for him to order his hands.

"No problem this time, right? I don't know who said they didn't believe it at first."

Chuan Wu watched the man walk away, and he came up to him and said strange things. Obviously, he was still worried about Yuan Pengfei's disbelief at the beginning!
"Chuan Wu, you have made meritorious service this time, and I will reward you later." Yuan Pengfei ignored Chuan Wu's petty emotions, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and walked to the backyard.

But Chuanwu hurriedly stood in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry, when did you learn Japanese, can you teach me a few words."

It is impossible not to appease this guy, Yuan Pengfei showed an inscrutable smile: "

"You have memorized it well, Mao Dao Mao Dao Ya buried, Da Buri Da Buri Chi Moji, Yi Tai Yi Tai Ha Ya Ku, Yi Ku Yi Ku Si Gao Yi. You can recite these four lines of poetry and simply say it to the Japanese. Two sentences is absolutely fine.”

Chuanwu blinked his eyes and believed it was true, looking at Yuan Pengfei's leaving back, as if afraid of forgetting, he kept muttering: "The cat knife, the cat knife, Ya is buried..."
