Chapter 1870: Terrifying
At this time, an idea came to Ibrahim Pasha.
This is not a treasure...
This is most likely the swords of these "Tartars".
In the cognition of Ibrahim Pasha, the people of Lu were Tatars. In fact, in the Europa and the Ottoman Empire, as long as they were Eastern nations, they were collectively called Tatars.
In their hearts, the Tatars were all fierce and barbaric monsters on horseback.
But now, the treasure with such excellent workmanship is like sand here.
Ibrahim Pasha's mood was very complicated. Although he was calm, his expression became more and more serious.
Finally, two days later, the train entered a huge city.
Although this city does not have towering walls or temples with huge spires, Ibrahim Pasha is not under Istanbul through the crystal window.
It is very lively, with a prosperous atmosphere everywhere, with countless residents, and the surrounding area is full of scattered spaces, with countless satellite towns.
When the train arrived at its destination, Ibrahim Pasha got off the train under the guidance of the officials. He realized that he was in a huge station, with more than a dozen tracks at this station.
There was already someone waiting on the platform. Ibrahim Pasha climbed onto the platform. Someone stepped forward and bowed with his hands and saluted him.
Ibrahim Pasha tried hard to suppress the shock and many curiosities of his heart, and bowed appropriately and returned the gift.
It was too noisy and it was naturally difficult to communicate. However, when someone sent him outside the station, a team of carriages were already waiting here. Obviously, the other party was extremely enthusiastic about his visit, and there was even a team of special patrol officers who were instructing the way for him.
Ibrahim Pasha soon had a new appearance. The road here was very smooth, and there was almost no vibration on the carriage. The sand sitting down was so comfortable that Ibrahim Pasha seemed to be in the court of Istanbul, lying in the huge cashmere blanket.
The crystal window was used on a large scale here, so even the carriage was installed. He saw the endless crowd outside the window, countless tall buildings, decent people greeting the streets, policemen in black clothes, staring at every passerby with suspicious eyes on the street.
When we passed through the downtown area, the outside world began to calm down.
There are still countless huge buildings here, but obviously, or it is a garden for the rich, so there are not many pedestrians. The giant creature, looking from afar, looks like a monster, and the building like a box, seems to have public uses.
I don’t know how many miles I walked, but finally the carriage stopped, he got out, and a palace appeared in front of him.
The royal palace actually does not occupy a large area. Compared with the Sultan's palace, the scale here is even less than one-tenth of that of the Istanbul Palace, which is obviously completely incompatible.
Ibrahim Pasha had already seen the national strength of Lu. He felt that the place in front of him seemed to be stingy as the palace of Lu.
But when he walked in under the leadership of others, he realized that in this unique palace covering an area of only 100 acres, the buildings and layouts here matched the owner's identity.
Seeing the hundreds of guards guarding here, with a solemnity everywhere, he entered a building and was then sent to a hall.
The focus of this journey of Ibrahim Pasha has finally arrived.
"Sayah." Ibrahim Pasha called out. After he sat down, he looked around carefully. The waiters brought him tea. The tea was green and seemed to have leaves floating, and bursts of fragrance were emitted. It was very tempting. But Ibrahim Pasha didn't dare to drink it easily. Of course, he was not worried about being poisoned, but to show that he was not rude.
The only person who was allowed to enter here with him was the translator Sayer.
Saye was a Patan from the Dukush Mountains. Because he was close to the Tatars, he learned some Chinese from some unknown Tatars.
When Sayya heard Ibrahim Pasha calling him, he hurriedly saluted him.
Ibrahim Pasha frowned and said, "Aren't you shocked too?"
Saye thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, my father had entered here more than ten years ago, but I never heard him say that this place would be..."
Ibrahim Pasha didn't believe Saye's words. He thought Saye's father was bragging. Of course, he didn't say it out loud. From Saye's eyes, he could see that the translation was shocking like himself. Sitting in this magnificent hall, Ibrahim Pasha felt like a different life. He frowned for a long time, and couldn't help but think about a very important question that made him feel. The two thousand miles of road were only three or four days. This...
Actually... this is nothing, because the Ottoman fast horse, as long as the knights stay asleep and run relay, there is no problem in three or four days, and more than a thousand miles.
But the problem now is that during this journey, he did not consume any physical strength, and all the people who took the train were the same as him, and did not consume any physical strength.
What does this mean?
Thinking of this question, his fear couldn't help but rise, which meant that the terrible railway could transport thousands or even tens of thousands of military horses without any effort to a few days... This... is the most terrifying thing.
Ibrahim Pasha has undergone special military training. He even followed the Sultan to fight several wars. He knew best how much time a war would take, even if it was only tens of thousands of people, it needed to be recruited, mobilized, replenished, gathered, and various guarantees. This... the preparation time required is absolutely impossible in just a few months.
What did those Tatars rely on when they swept across the West? They rely on the fast movement of the cavalry! But now, how terrifying this railway track that suddenly appeared in his perception...
Because of their mobility and war preparation time, the time is shorter. As long as the enemy situation appears two thousand miles away, it only takes a few days to prepare. Within ten days, a continuous army will appear two thousand miles away, and they don’t have to worry about supply issues.
call……
Ibrahim Pasha was moved by it, and many thoughts passed through his heart.
At this moment, the two guards opened the door, and then a slender young man walked in. This person was Ye Chunqiu, and behind him was a translator from the Foreign Affairs Bureau.
