Chapter 69: It will scare many people

"Jin Zhang, aren't you crazy?"

"As you said, those white people must be staring behind us now. You should go back? Isn't it clear that you want to fight them opposite?"

"That's...if you walk back, why don't you just rush into the white circle? That's asking for death."

Although he was already adapting to Guo Jinzhang's way of speaking, the words "going back" still shocked everyone. Even Jian Wang, who has always supported Guo Jinzhang unconditionally, couldn't help but object. This is not simply turning around and taking a step back. If he goes back, wouldn't the white people in Denver have to tear everyone away?

"I didn't say that I would walk back along the same path. What I said is, let's change direction and go north."

"What if someone discovers it again?" Li Asheng asked.

"That's a dead end."

"Then you go back?"

"It's dangerous to go south, it's also dangerous to go north. But those white people must have discovered that we are heading south now. So... which direction should we go south?" Guo Jinzhang took out a map from his body, a very simple hand-drawn map. Some states don't even have names, or they only have names but no specific location... This was what Guo Jinzhang forced Angelo, Ilger and others to draw for himself, in order not to get lost... He originally wanted to find a real map, but when he thought of this problem, he was already in the ranch. How could there be such a "elegant" thing like a map there? ... "Look, the south direction is New Mexico; the southwest direction is Arizona; the southeast direction is Texas and Oklahoma. Of course, we have another possibility, that is, to cross the Rockies and penetrate Utah in the west direction... As long as we disappear for a while, those white people will have to catch blind."

"What you mean is that we have to hide for a while and not rush to rush?" Qian Shide asked.

"It's hide, but not hide, but bypassing the white settlements as much as possible, so I suggest everyone to go north, after all, this is unexpected,

Only then can we achieve our goals as much as possible. And, there is the most important point," Guo Jinzhang glanced at everyone one by one, "There is a train in the north, and you can directly pass through Rocky Mountain!"

"You are kidding again, will the whites let us get on the car?" Liu Tongfu said with a wry smile.

"Don't say, it's really possible." Li Asheng squeezed his eyebrows and thought, "I've heard people say before that there are often bandits on the railway. Those guys can catch up with the train on horseback, and then climb up to rob passengers... Maybe we can do it."

"It's definitely OK. If it really doesn't work, I'll pull out a few pieces of the rails and don't believe it, he won't stop." Qian Shide said with a yellow teeth and said with a slight smile: "At that time, we will just rely on the guns in our hands to get on the car. I'll save money on tickets."

"So, this trick is OK?" Liu Tongfu asked.

"I think it should be feasible." Qian Shide nodded, "As long as we get on the train, we will go west... As long as we can get on the boat before the news reaches San Francisco, it will be the emperor who is far away."

"If that's the case, you don't have to go to San Francisco." Hou Nan pointed to the northwest corner of the map and pointed, "Look, this place, west, west... to the north is Canada!"

"I know what you mean, but there... is it on the train?" Qian Shide asked.

"I don't know this." Hou Nan shook his head.

"If the train is not open, we can only ride horses, but if we get on the train, our horses will definitely be thrown away. After passing the Rockies, where can we find them?" Li Asheng asked.

"If there is no horse, if you are discovered by those white people, you will definitely be caught up soon. If that is the case, it would be better than now." Chu Si rarely spoke. He felt the deepest about the situation of not having horses to transport, which was terrible.

"Who said we must use horses?" Guo Jinzhang suddenly smiled.

"What's the meaning?"

"Have you ever thought about it? Why can't we run away from those white people even if we have horses?"

"What's the point? We are not cowboys, we haven't ridden a horse, so of course we can't compare to those cowboys." Jian Wang said.

"Also, we are yellow people, and we are so different from white people. As long as we meet someone, we can tell at a glance that something is wrong with us." Liang Zuying also said.

"Not bad." Qian Shide nodded, "Along with that, America is too big, with white people everywhere, it's normal for us to not be able to run out for a while. Just like the beginning..."

"Let's not talk about the original matter for now. In fact, we have always ignored one thing." Guo Jinzhang said.

"What?"

"telegraph!"

"telegraph?"

"What does this have to do with telegram?"

"Why is it okay? Those white people found us, and a telegram was sent out, and everyone in the world knew where we were."

"It's right." Guo Jinzhang looked at him with admiration, "It's a telegram. This thing can send messages thousands of miles in an instant... Not to mention that we are just riding horses, even riding on the skeleton clouds, it's hard to run out when we encounter this thing."

"Will we choose places with fewer people? There are no telegrams in these places, so what are we afraid of?" Zhao Dachang asked.

"There are few people, but there are often many horses in places with few people. As long as there are horses, the news can be quickly transmitted to places with telegrams and then to the big cities of Denver." Li Asheng said seriously, "Even if it takes two days to delay, we can still be found."

"What should I do? Isn't this a turtle in a jar?" Liu Tongfu shouted.

"So, we have to destroy this environment that is not conducive to ours." Guo Jinzhang shouted, "break the information advantage of white people."

“Information Advantage?”

"It's inexplicable. What information advantages? Even if people send messages quickly, what can you do? That's a telegram. You can hear it here and there. How can you break it?"

"Of course there is a way." Guo Jinzhang smiled coldly, "Why does the telegram pass so quickly? Because they use the telegram line... it is wired. This line is the telegram route. Let's break it, hum..."

"Broken its way?"

"Just cut its thread?"

"right."

"How to cut it?"

"If you cut them, you won't pick them up again?"

"Of course it can be connected. But, if you cut off a little bit of it, the entire line can be broken. If the white people want to repair them again, they have to check it from beginning to end. How much effort does it take?"

"I understand. As long as you break the thread, it will take a long time for those white people to pass messages in telegrams, right?"

"That's right."

"What do you mean when we go north?" Hou Nan asked, "If we go north, wouldn't it mean that we jumped into the white man's arms again?"

"As long as you avoid the obstruction of white people, you can get on the train. But there must be one premise, that is, find the telegram line in the east and west of the United States and break it..."

As a man and an ordinary man, Guo Jinzhang, like most men, is interested in three things. One is a woman, the second is a car, and the third is naturally war. However, in peacetime, and just a small worker, he can only be regarded as a small self-employed person at most. Most of his interest in women is just on the Internet, occasionally seeing what level of beauties appeared, or what photos the big beauties have appeared, it is impossible to really look for flowers and willows everywhere, because such a cost is too great and he can't afford it. As for cars, there is no need to say more, he is a car repair shop owner, although it is just a small shop.

In addition to these two things, war, this topic that has existed in human history is also something he pays more attention to. However, like most male compatriots, he is not concerned about the Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya wars. He is more interested in the past, that is, some past wars. He occasionally goes to the forum to take a look and criticizes the faults of the former famous generals... It seems that this way he can show his cleverness.

Of course, war is just the least one of his many interests, and he usually talks with people at least. However, he appeared in such an era. What does this mean?

Advanced concept.

When he left Kangden Town, an occasional flash of inspiration made him discover the asymmetry between the Chinese workers and the white men.

Information asymmetry.

What is the future war like? Information first, without powerful information means, you will have to be abused when you face the enemy. At that time, even if you equipped the most nuclear missiles in the world, it would be difficult to hit the enemy's territory. Maybe the missile will turn around and return to the launch point after it flew out. Of course, this statement is a bit exaggerated, but no one is sure that it is impossible.

Therefore, after realizing this, Guo Jinzhang dared to boldly propose turning around and heading north again.

Yes, going north is indeed much more dangerous, but it is not necessarily much more dangerous than going south. You know, even when going south, they have to pass through large areas of American territory. Who can guarantee that there will be no more white people involved in interception on this road? Guo Jinzhang can even imagine that the white leaders in Denver do not need to come forward themselves. They just need to tell them about the fact that they have hundreds of thousands of dollars in rail stocks, and countless white people will spontaneously destroy them.

Everything is for money!

Just like the cause of the death of more than 70 Chinese workers, several militia cowboys could start killing for hundreds of dollars, and other white people could naturally do it. Who told them to be rich? Even if white people walk with so much money, they would probably not be safe, let alone they are yellow people?

So, it's better to go north.

As long as they can get on the train, their road will be much easier to walk on whether it is east or west.

As long as the information channels between the East and the West can be cut off.

That is, telegraph, a communication method that uses electricity or other types of waves as carriers to realize long-distance transmission and exchange information through encoding and corresponding electrical processing technology. He originally thought of telephones, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that he did not find such things at Charlotte's home or Denver Court. He knew that telephones had not been popularized at this time, and even if they were invented, they were only used by a few people. In other words, telephones at this time were impossible to go far. Think about it, even during World War II, there were very few long-distance telephones, and these telephones fifty or sixty years ago were naturally even worse. Then, there was only telegraphs.

Telegram was invented a long time ago. He knew this. But after thinking about the problem of information asymmetry, he remembered that telegram should be divided into two types: wired telegram and wireless telegram.

So, is there any radio telegram?

Guo Jinzhang didn't know at this time. It was not until 1895 that Marconi, a young Italian college student, conducted a radio communication test in the yard and was successful. The communication distance was only 30 meters at that time. Another year later, the communication distance was extended to two kilometers. It was not until 1897 that a radio communication experiment spanned the Bristol Strait. Marconi also established the world's first radio equipment company in the UK... The British Marconi Company. But the radio communication distance was still not very long at this time. It was not until the early 20th century that British radio telegrams could be sent to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, but the antenna at that time was just a metal wire led by a kite...

However, not knowing the development history of wireless telegraph does not mean that Guo Jinzhang cannot reason.

Guo Jinzhang remembered that before coming to the United States, there seemed to have never been a large-scale application of radio telegraphs in so many TV series about the theme of the War of Resistance. Especially the Eighth Route Army at that time, the regiment-level troops were also very important, but they were not equipped with radio telegraphs at all. When encountering a sudden war, they could only rely on the self-exercise of the commanders and soldiers. Otherwise, even if Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" was annoyed that the Japanese robbed his wife, he would not be able to fight Ping'an County, because he would be stopped by his superiors at the beginning. Even though the Communist Party was so poor that it was not so stingy during the war, it means that radio telegraphs at that time were not popular at that time. Even if China lags a lot, this aspect can still be inferred.

So, there must be no wireless telegraph at this time. Even if there is one, it won’t be able to transmit far. So, is it not easy to deal with wired telegraph? How did the Eighth Route Army guerrillas deal with the Japanese? Cut out his phone line!

The phone is not good yet, so cut his telegram wire first!

Guo Jinzhang could almost imagine how "wonderful" reactions would be made in Colorado and even the US government after he issued this trick. If the telegram is out and the contact is interrupted... will it scare many people?

Guo Jinzhang can already imagine that once the communication between the eastern and western regions is cut off for a long time, what kind of emotions will the Americans who have adapted to the current information situation? Although the first thing to do is to find the telegram line completely cut off the communication between the East and the West, as long as it is wired, it should not be difficult. There are traces to follow. Moreover, such a long line has to cross the entire Rocky Mountains. That line must be very thick and long, that is, it should be like a submarine cable, with only a few, and maybe only one. After all, the western United States has not been developed much, so there are not many lines at all. This line should be near the Pacific Railway. It should be crossed through the Rocky Mountains with the railway. As long as you are interested, it should not be difficult to find. However, the calculation is very good, Guo Jinzhang did not expect that as soon as this plan was announced to the Chinese workers, he encountered huge resistance and blame.

These blame did not come from those who often questioned Li Asheng, but from the Chinese workers who have always followed them.

"Walking back again... It's light, how easy is it?"

"I don't understand. I finally left Denver, why did I think about walking back? It's really convenient to take the train to the west, but have you ever thought about how dangerous it is?"

"It's... everyone finally escaped from there, but they don't want to do it again."

The Chinese workers, you all seemed very dissatisfied with nothing. Even with the persuasion of Hou Nan and others, they were still stern and unwilling to accept this plan.

"I know you are the leader, but you have to ask everyone's opinions. Such a dangerous thing cannot be achieved by saying a few words. You can't take risks with everyone's lives."

“That’s, that’s…”

"One of the more than 400 people is missing more than half. When you go back, are you planning to lose the remaining half?"

Everyone's questions became more and more acute. Some people even asked Hou Nan and others if they felt that it was difficult to share money if there was too much people. They planned to let everyone die a little more so that they could get more money... Qian Shide was so angry that he was furious. If someone hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten people on the spot.

And so, the plan died before it even started.

"What's this called? By the way, what the people want."
