Chapter 338: Return to the Plateau

Indians who are getting richer are called nouveau riche, and their favorite activity is to show off their wealth, and if they don't make their money, they are sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth. The high-speed castle construction automaton developed based on the construction of the Eagle's Nest is too busy to sit there. So, the team is ready to take orders and start the business of building secret castles.

One day of terrain exploration, three days of wind tunnel model construction, 30 days of physical construction, 7 days of castle handling, and 41 days of standard process The secret castle business is open to local tyrants, with a minimum sale of 10,000 pounds, the city lord fully enjoys the land rights of the castle, and there is no problem with water, electricity, power and mail, it is really the best choice for home travel to show off wealth, local tyrants, come to Delhi to buy the castle in your heart.

The Eagle's Nest is much more expensive than this, because it uses artificial white stone with a high air defense level, and this 10,000-pound entry-level castle certainly can't be so luxurious.

The first order of the secret castle came from the Nepalese royal family, Nepal had been controlled by the British as early as 1846, and now of course it has fallen into the hands of our Great East India Company, becoming an important communication artery between India and **, Nepal's army is actually in the hands of the East India Company, and they are quite active in preparing for the invasion**.

The Nepalese royal family placed an order with the Secret Castle Company, on the one hand, because of the need to build their own palace, and on the other hand, to curry favor with the King of Windsor, and the two sides hit it off. Nepal is located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, not only high altitude and complex terrain, but also due to the warm and humid air flow from the Indian Ocean, the rainfall is abundant, frequent floods, mudslides, and one of the worst traffic conditions in the world.

The difficulty of building roads and railways in Nepal was so high that even the Indian government, which has the largest financial resources in the world, could not take care of it, until the advent of the air train completely changed the fate of not being able to build efficient transportation in the mountains, and Nepal was a bit like the Netherlands.

Nepal is purer than the Netherlands, almost all the main roads are air trains, airship lines connected by electric poles to form tracks, and there are efficient wind power stations built where the wind is abundant, so Nepal has become more and more connected with the Indian empire, and has been fully integrated into the ruling system of the Great East India Company.

Except for the sky train, the traffic in the mountains of northern Nepal is terrible, and of course, except for the god-level jumping vehicle of my great velociraptor on a whim, Downing is ready to ride the velociraptor over the Himalayas.

The northern mountains are now the most in line with Tangning's careful thinking that people who come to the deep mountains do not know, but to see if the people in the mountains of Nepal will know him.

The plains in the south are so closely connected to India that they are no different at all, so only the mountains in the north are good places. Sure enough, Tang Ning was not disappointed, as long as he left the air train trunk line for a few kilometers, the local poor mountain people immediately did not know the Emperor Windsor, so that the emperor Longxin was happy, only here, he could dismount recklessly, no, Xia Long came to enjoy with the people under the leadership of the translator, and the other party only knew that he was a local tyrant.

The biggest show of fun with the people is, of course, that the mountain people are attracted by the magical velociraptor dragon, and almost every curious mountain person asks to borrow a dragon to comfort his life, not knowing that this is the Windsor Emperor who is the most powerful in the world.

The Windsor Great, who visited the private service of Weifu, enjoyed a rare time of relaxation and freedom. With a stroke of his pen, the Emperor of Longxin Dayue borrowed 100,000 pounds from the Bank of Zurich to develop a collective farm in the mountainous areas of northern Nepal, and invited agricultural experts from Germany to develop an efficient farming plan for the farm. In fact, it was more suitable for British technicians to come in the territory of the Indians, but the Germans were so easy to use that Downing got carried away for a while.

Nepal has abundant rainfall, and as long as the cultivation is done properly, it has the potential to become a well-off society for rich peasants, and the collective farms absorb all the poor and middle peasants, so that they do not have to worry about running out of food. In the unlikely event that crops unique to the plateau are cultivated and sold at a high price, it is not impossible to become well-off and wealthy.

It is a very happy thing to have food to eat, and watching the scene of the ragged mountain people eating meat is touching, and it feels that their ancestors were like this when they were in a primitive society, and this special beauty even outsiders will feel a surge of happiness. It seems that in the future, more people will come to remote mountainous areas to mingle with the common people.

Everywhere Tang Laocai went, he invited the villagers to eat meat, and the mountain people who were happy to eat all felt that they were living in vain, and their bare little children had no scruples about holding Tang Laocai's neck with dirty little hands to beg for food, constituting a different and moving picture.

Tianjin Mayor Qi Taiyu Qi came to Tang Ning's side, and when he saw such a picture, he was also drunk.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is where Tang Ning and Qi Taiyu met, Qi Taiyu also misses this place, and after discovering that Tang Ning arrived in Nepal, he felt that Tang Ning was going to return to **, and Mayor Qi, who had a relative who was still a petty official there, volunteered to come to Tang Ning to work for the boss, and Tianjin's government affairs were left behind.

Tang Ning really asked, "Huh? Is your relative named Qi Taisheng still **? ”

Qi Taiyu was moved: "The boss is really well-read and strong, you still remember the name of my relative." Yes, it's still there, it's still a petty official, working with the minister in Tibet, and the minister in Tibet is controlled by Shi Dakai, the governor of Ganxi, I wonder if Shi Dakai will be grateful to you for being pardoned in the first place? ”

Tang Ning laughed: "Just try it, I didn't like your relative back then, but I finally have an acquaintance in **, see if he can do something." ”

Qi Taiyu smiled bitterly: "I can naturally do things, because as soon as I became the mayor of Tianjin, the minister in Tibet arrested my relative, and then released it after dotting, and then he was idle, and now he still complains about me every day, and wants to go to Tianjin with me to mix, but I let him stay in **, and now the world is in chaos, I know that it is useful for him to stay in **." ”

Downing: "Really? It seems that this minister in Tibet is not very friendly to us, I don't want to meet each other in arms, it just so happens that Nepal's army has been asking for stronger armaments, I am ready to equip them with velociraptors, and set up a velociraptor knights of about 2,000 people, I think it is enough to sweep **, maybe we can celebrate the New Year in Lhasa this year, and we will help your relatives counterattack. ”

Qi Taiyu smiled: "Hehe, I'm just waiting for your words!" When the time comes, I will give a petty official to my relative, and it would be nice to be a little older than his original one. ”

Soon, the Velociraptor team was transferred from California to Kathmandu, where they would build mounts for the new dragoons. Through the open channel, Shi Dakai knew that Emperor Windsor had arrived at the border, which aroused his vigilance, and sent some troops to strengthen the local defense, so that the total strength of ** reached an unprecedented scale of 5,000 people.

The defenders of Lhasa were also armed with anti-aircraft guns and occasionally cold guns, so that the enemy's air force could not wreak havoc so freely.

Qi Taisheng reported this information, and Tang Ning immediately felt that this person he didn't like seemed to have a little ability, and even the anti-aircraft gun was transported to Lhasa by Shi Da and actually found out. In fact, this is because Qi Taiyu used bribes to open the way, ** This place where birds don't lay eggs is so poor that it is easy to buy spies.

From the ease with which this information was obtained, Tang Ning felt that the huge ** million square kilometers were just around the corner. The biggest enemy to deal with is probably Shi Dakai, the governor of Ganxi and Shaanxi who is staying in Lanzhou, and for now, he is not grateful to the Emperor of Windsor for his kindness.

Shi Dakai was very smart and knew that the fighting front was definitely not the opponent of the Windsor Empire, and most of the original Kazakh army had been withdrawn to Gansu, with Lanzhou as the center to establish a strong western defense line. The Windsor Empire has the Soviet Red Army in the north, Israel in the west, and the Indian Empire in the south.

Moreover, Shi Dakai has been staying in the west all these years, and it is not a pity to think that these places have been lost. His strategy was not to fight to the death of the Windsor Empire because of these unworthy territories.

It is not difficult to conquer the first place, the difficult thing is how to govern, the northern foothills of the Himalayas are too dry, and agriculture cannot develop at all, which is a headache. Located in the rain shadow area, I'm afraid that even the water and electricity integration equipment is not very easy to use.

After Qi Taiyu came, Tang Ning began to study how to govern ** and turn this magnificent plateau into a rich plateau, rather than a Tibetan Buddhist tourist attraction with an intoxicating blue sky. It is much harder to govern** than to support Nepal's agriculture.

Emperor Windsor, who has not yet had the right to rule, swaggered in the villages and towns with a group of scientists to haunt the villages and towns in the airships, which attracted the attention of the Minister in Tibet, Detai, and sent an important military alert to the Governor of Ganshan. It's a pity that Shi Dakai has already made a big plan to retreat, and only let the minister in Tibet see the opportunity to act.

"Tibetan antelope!" The unscrupulous geographical expedition group was pleasantly surprised, this is the visual benefit brought by the plateau elves.

Hehe, isn't this the cute thing of my Tang Tuhao's first pot of gold? Tang Ning and Qi Taiyu glanced at each other and smiled knowingly. Back then, Boss Tang shot 90 Tibetan antelopes in one go, but now he is the world's largest animal protector, and he will vigorously protect Tibetan antelopes in the future, and the reversal of fate is unpredictable.

Southern Tibet is still relatively fertile, with the warm and humid air flow of the Indian Ocean, the Brahmaputra River, which brings the most fertile land, is the iconic water system of southern Tibet, which obviously does not need to be bothered by Tangning, they are inspecting the uninhabited area of northern Tibet, which is the real land of Longxing in Tangning, and no one in his entourage knows why he went north to the place where the bird does not lay eggs.

It seems that Tang Ning is too worried, no man's land, there are no people, and he doesn't need to help the poor, haha.

Thus, the expedition turned into sightseeing. Needless to say, how pure and quiet the scenery of the no-man's land is. The blue sky is so quiet and beautiful, and the lake that reflects the sky is so clear and transparent. Tang Ning returned to the northern Tibetan plateau again, and his mood was completely different, he used to be panicked like a lost dog, but now he is the king of the world.

Tang Ning said heartily: "Look at that big lake, it's so beautiful, where there is a lake, there will be people, but there are no here, guess why." ”

A young and vigorous scientist said, "Because this is a saline lake!" The northern foothills of the Himalayas are almost all saline lakes, hehe! ”

I wanted to show off, but I was robbed, and Tang Ning smiled dumbly: "That's right." So northern Tibet is as barren as an uninhabited desert island. ”

"I don't know what the salt tastes like in these no-man's lands." With this question, Tang Ning asked the scientific and technological assistants to dry some salt to taste it, in fact, he had tasted it more than ten years ago, and the taste was very special and nostalgic.

The airship landed, set up camp, and buried the pot to cook.

It would be boring to come to the wild again for ordinary food, and they have long been prepared artificial falcons developed for aerial hunting of bison. The airship spotted a herd of yaks ten kilometers away, just in time for the falcon to show off its skills.

To be honest, the process of falconry is a very exciting sport, where can the huge yak think that a small gadget can kill them?

After many generations of development, the falcon parachuted on the top of the prey's head is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the defenseless yak is naturally not a problem, the yak brother is still annoyed and shakes his body to shake off this annoying little guy, but the falcon stretched out a deadly spear and stabbed the head of the yak brother, completing a painless slaughter in the wild.

A joyous highland barbecue is held on the shores of a beautiful lake, and the guests and hosts are happy, while the wild animals in the distance look up from time to time to observe the uninvited guests, are they just passing by like the migratory birds? Or will they be our neighbors for a long time? Is it a friendly neighbor or a bad neighbor?
