Chapter 1038

"Emperor, the Dutch are at war with us, and we are defeated by the Dutch garrison in the city of geranque in their attempt to seize machine guns and Chinese rifles."

At noon, Xiao Ming was awakened by Qian Dafu's voice, and then a telegram was sent to him.

After receiving the telegram from Qian Dafu, Xiao Ming looked at it carefully and frowned. "The fox finally showed his tail. He immediately sent a telegram to Yue Yun, asking him to lead the fleet to wipe out all the Dutch warships in the Nanyang, and let thunder attack Jakarta and Manila to completely control the Philippines and Indonesia."

"Yes, Emperor!" Qian Dafu was ordered to turn away.

In a hurry, Xiao Ming goes to the imperial study and calls Cui Shangan over. This time, the Dutch have changed from friend to enemy. He needs the general staff to make a detailed plan to deal with this matter.

At the same time, he also informed the cabinet, demanding that the cabinet immediately stop trading with the Dutch and expel the Dutch embassy personnel.

After all this, Xiao Ming comes to the map of the world hanging in the imperial study, and his eyes turn to the Philippines and Indonesia.

The Dutch's anti water war did have some impact on the trade of the Empire, but comparatively speaking, the Dutch lost more because they lost Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia.

From then on, these two huge islands will be officially owned by the Empire.

According to the data of scientific and technological crystal, the Philippines has 4.8 billion tons of copper reserves, 1 billion tons of nickel, and 130 million tons of gold reserves. These three kinds of resources are very rich.

In addition, there are abundant resources of Borneol in the Philippines, which is very popular in the West and once monopolized by Dutch and Spanish.

In contemporary times, whether in the east or the west, borneol incense has always been regarded as a treasure. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, borneol was produced in Persia, and the envoys of Dashi country also gave borneol as a tribute to the emperor of China.

Compared with the Philippines, Indonesia is more abundant in resources, with nearly 60 billion tons of coal and nickel reserves, 1.5 million carats of diamond resources, and many scarce metal resources.

Taking control of these two places, the Empire will have more resources to use for its development.

Therefore, he is not particularly angry about the Dutch decision. Moreover, he comes from the contemporary era and is used to seeing the changes in the relations between friends and enemies in the international community and the changing face of western countries.

Because of this, he has always had a distrust of the Dutch, because this is a country without great power potential.

looked away from Philippines and Manila. Xiao Ming looked at the East Indochina colony in France and the Burma colony in England.

The Dutch's sudden change of tone is enough to show the European attitude towards the rise of the Chinese Empire. Since friction is inevitable, it is impossible to avoid a full-scale war. After a hundred years of decline, it is time for him to reshape the sphere of influence in the glorious period of the Empire.

He was thinking, at this time a person to the Royal study, but Lu Tong.

"The emperor!" Lu Tong has a smile on his face. It seems that there is something happy.

Xiao Ming turns around and looks at Xiang Lutong. What he likes most is Lu Tong. These people come to him, because often it means a breakthrough in technology.

Sure enough, Lu Tong went into the imperial study and said mysteriously, "Your Majesty, I sent you a baby today."

"Oh? Take it out and have a look. If it's a real baby, I'll give you a baby, too. " Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Lu Tong could not close his mouth when he heard Yan le. At this time, he took out a cylindrical thing from his pocket and put it on the table.

The moment he saw it, Xiao Ming gave a thumbs up and said, "it's really a treasure. I picked you up right from the grassland."

Lu Tong said with a smile: "the emperor has unique insight. Would you like to try this battery?"

what Lu Tong brought was the battery. After the popularity of electric power in Qingzhou, he asked Lu Tong to recover the battery technology in his spare time.

After intermittent research, he finally put the battery principle of the laboratory in this zinc bucket.

"Hey, you're getting more and more garrulous. Come on, get the light bulb." Xiao Ming reaches out his hand and takes the light bulb with two thread ends from Lu Tong. The positive and negative poles are connected, and the light bulb suddenly lights up.

In the faint light, Xiao Ming showed a happy look. With the battery, it will solve many problems in the field use of electric equipment.

When Xiao Ming used the battery, Lu Tong explained: "emperor, this battery is zinc manganese dry battery. At present, this battery technology is relatively easy to realize."

Xiao Ming nodded his head. The dry battery is a kind of battery made of wood chips or starch gelatin. The battery liquid does not flow, so it is called dry battery.

The batteries of flashlights and radios all belong to the category of dry batteries. In fact, the structure of this zinc manganese dry battery is not complicated, but a combination of carbon rod, zinc sheet, manganese dioxide and adhesive. This kind of dry battery was invented in 1860.

"Well, that's great. With this dry battery, there's no problem with the mobile radio." Xiao Ming said with a smile.In addition, flashlight, a simple mobile lighting device, should also be made for military and civilian use.

Lu Tongwen said: "emperor, it's also a coincidence. When I came here, I passed by the laboratory of the Institute of physics and heard the news that the electrode tube had been made. Compared with this radio, there should be no problem."

Xiao Ming is not surprised by this. The industrial level has reached, and it is not difficult to make these simple things with ready-made technology.

In addition to the telegraph, radio and battery technologies, he has also included the telephone in his plan for preparation.

This plan is also included in his plan to the cabinet. After all, the telegraph is too rigid. If cable telephone can be popularized, the transmission of information will be more convenient.

And with the expansion of the Empire, he also urgently needed effective supervision of every place.

"Yes, yes, the technological development of the empire is really booming now. Now you don't need me to intervene, you can get the results yourself." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Lu Tong said, "emperor, the students have been studying in the college for more than ten years. If the emperor needs to direct everything, is this different from waste? For some simple techniques, the Emperor just gives them to us. "

"Of course, I'm happy to say that." Xiao Ming was very happy that everything was difficult at the beginning, but it was natural after he was sad.

In more than ten years, the major colleges have trained tens of thousands of talents, and these people have brought out a number of technical personnel. In such a cycle, the Empire now has plenty of technical personnel.
