When I learned that the nobles were going to launch a series of assassinations against me, I carefully planned an anti-assassination operation and deployed everything before I set off on the road.

First of all, I am sure that the rebels absolutely have no strength to dare to fight head-on battles with their guard battalions. Whether in terms of weapons, equipment, daily training, combat morale and combat command, the soldiers of the Republic are much higher than those of the rebel soldiers, and sneak attacks will be their only choice. Therefore, I ordered all carriages to be equipped with solid iron plates so that they can withstand any bullet attacks. Of course, after several attacks failed, the rebels would know that the situation was not good and instead seek better assassination methods. The artillery and large-caliber artillery can do this, and have a long range, can be placed far away from the road, which is not easy to detect when fired, and retreat is also easy.

Then, since the rebels were superstitious about the power of artillery, they should provide weapons for "free". I informed the garrison of Briyud who deliberately spread the large-caliber artillery, relaxed their guards, and waited for the rebels to take them. The rebels could not have thought of carrying bulky artillery from Wandai, who had traveled thousands of miles away, and arrived at the ambush site through the numerous encirclements. So when they learned that the local garrison had the weapons they wanted, they would actively "cooperate" with my plan, stealing artillery and ammunition overnight, and assembled in the ambush area. All of this was seen by the spies who were closely monitored, tracking them all the way, and destroying the rebels.

But the incident did not end. The reason why I ordered Julises to shoot Hydra in public was to train him himself, and the other was to continue my conspiracy. Because it was the first time to kill someone, the Jewish young man shot bullets from the muzzle, and the only hit the captain's chest. The blood was flowing out but it could not be fatal, but he fainted on the spot. Since Hydra could climb from the pile of dead people to the position of the captain officer, he must have his ability to save his life. The skin pain after torture and the non-fatal gunshot wounds caused by the bullet will not hinder his companions from rescuing a living person. This is also the most exquisite part of the entire plan.

Because, there is no shortage of a good gun shooter, but an excellent gunner is urgently needed in any regular army. Moreover, it is even more indispensable in the rebels with few capable people. The remnants of the nobles will definitely try their best to bring him to their base camp to rescue him with all their might. At the same time, my task force will follow him, find the rebels' nest, and finally catch them all in one go, ending this damn harassment war.

I took out my pocket watch, looked at it, and said proudly: "In a few hours, I believe that before nightfall, my soldiers will find the location of the rebels' nest, destroy them, and we will lie down and enter Paris."

"It seems that the coalition forces of various countries are defeated by the generals, and they will not be wronged. And if Julisses can be trained to become a talent under your leadership, the Jews' ambition to restore the country will be realized. I hope that I will still live to that day." The old housekeeper agreed, but at the same time did not forget the ideal in his heart.

Can it be that simple? I have no idea. In this terrifying era, everything I have done is to protect myself, to do my best to enrich my own power, and to spread the spark of revolution, hoping to cultivate a large number of successors within ten to twenty years. The Zion, the Eastern Revolution and the establishment of a free China, these glorious, great, long and difficult causes are likely to be completed by our descendants.

I stopped thinking about this headache, so I changed the topic and asked the old man in front of me: "Sandro, do you understand Britain?"

"Know some, I was there for more than half a year a few years ago. If you have anything, just give me instructions." Sandro said.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to know the development of the steam engine in the British."

"Are you talking about the Bolton-Watt steam engine?" Looking at me showing my approval, Sandro continued: "In 1782, when Watt steam engine was invented, I was in business in the UK. I was invited to visit the steam engine and under the guidance of Watt engineers, I operated the entire machine by myself. The operation of a steam engine can be as strong as 100 manpower, which is indeed amazing."

"Haha, it's not just about 100 manpower. The improved steam engines are used in textile machinery, energy mining, transportation and military manufacturing. Compared with 1,000 manpower, there are more than 10,000 manpower. It is no exaggeration to describe that in the future, European countries' dominance of hegemony is not so based on any other means or force, but rather on steam engines." From elementary school textbooks, I know that the Watt steam engine is the greatest invention of this era, and the industrial revolution with the core of the steam engine finally laid the foundation for Britain's position as a global leader in the 19th century, and also made its glory of the "Empire that the Sun Never Sets".

Of course, I brought up this topic not because of a simple sigh. My ultimate goal was to tell Sandro frankly: "My question is to know whether you, the Jews, can make the most advanced steam engines in Europe and apply them to various industries such as manufacturing, mining, transportation, and military industries, so as to greatly improve unit production efficiency and ultimately replace human, festive, wind and hydraulic power."

"My general, you underestimate the Jews too much. Let me tell you the truth that James Watt's partner, manufacturer Matthew Bolton, is a real Jew. He raised a lot of funds for quite expensive experiments and initial models. Most of this funds came from the Jewish Chamber of Commerce. According to the agreement signed by both parties, by 1,800 years ago, the Jewish consortium firmly grasped Watt's basic patent rights." The old man's proud tone made his smile once again cover his face and his face turned rosy.

Hearing this incredibly exciting news, I jumped up happily, and with a bang, I hit my head on the roof of the car. I didn't care about the pain, I grabbed the corner of Sandro's clothes and shouted excitedly: "My dear old housekeeper, then do you have any mule spinning machine, coking coal and molten iron, fine forged steel, Charles Telegram?"

Looking at the incoherent self, Sandro felt a little puzzled, but he still politely replied to my question, "General, not me, as a merchant, I will not say anything you say," paused for a moment, and admired the owner's disappointed face, the cunning old merchant finally spoke up the following words: "But as far as I know, there are indeed many Jewish technicians who are familiar with those skills. And I, your housekeeper, can ask the Jewish Chamber of Commerce for help under the general's order, so that you can get everything you want. Of course, the completion of these things takes time and money."

"Okay, very good, very good, haha, with them, maybe I can really have everything: build an invincible army; help the Zion; complete the Chinese revolution and construction, haha, these are not available." As I said this, I went wild again, just paying attention to my head and not hurt it.

"General, can these things bring you such great benefits?" Sandro was very suspicious because he was just a businessman after all, with a shrewd vision and a developed mind, but lacked the foresight to a deep understanding of industrial change.

Of course, for me, a person from the 21st century, the achievements created by the first industrial revolution represented by steam engines are difficult to express even if they are described for three days and three nights. However, its profound impact, in a word, the Eastern civilization with China as the core lags behind the Western civilization represented by Britain for the first time. This backwardness is in China in the 21st century, and the gap is still very large, 30 or 50 years.
