Among the four questions, the first and second questions can be attributed to the same problem, which requires entering Sophia's mansion to solve this problem.
However, once you enter Sofia's mansion, whether you take the secret key or destroy the secret key, Sofia will be alarmed, which means there is no room for turning back and you must leave St. York immediately. So before sneaking into Sofia's mansion
, Qi Xuansu must first solve the third problem and plan an evacuation route and at least one alternative plan.
There are many routes from St. York to the South Continent. The most convenient route is of course the sea route. St. York is a city located at the estuary. Richmond District is an island, completely facing the sea, and it is far away from the King District across the estuary.
Wang. Midtown is to the north of the King District, and to the west is the Hudson River. You can go directly to the sea along the Hudson River.
After going out to sea, go all the way south along the coastline, pass Cape Hatteras, enter Onslow Bay, then go around the entire Florida Peninsula, pass through the Straits of Florida between Andros and the Florida Keys, and enter the Olmec
Bay, this sea area is where the northern continent and the southern continent meet. No matter how long Sofia’s hand is, it is impossible to reach here. Next, you can land directly on the Yucatan Peninsula, or you can pass through the Yucatan Strait and continue
Sailing south.
Of course you can fly over, but that would be too ostentatious and could easily expose your target.
Of course Qi Xuansu was not afraid of being alone. He even considered sinking the floating island with one palm and then taking the opportunity to escape. The key was that he brought Audrey with him. Although Audrey has a strong body and should be more resistant to fighting, she has no fighting power.
, at most it is a less burdensome burden. Qi Xuansu had to consider this, and it was best to reduce unnecessary battles.
But there is a problem here. It is true that the sea route is the most convenient. Sofia also understands this. Once an incident occurs, the sea route will be blocked immediately. Sophia's first reaction is to pursue along the sea route.
The best case scenario is that Qi Xuansu takes action on Friday without disturbing anyone, and then leaves that night. Sophia knows nothing about it and continues to have fun on the island. It is not until she returns home on Sunday night that she discovers the abnormality. Two days
The time was enough for Qi Xuansu and Audrey to escape to the Southern Continent quietly.
But this situation is too ideal.
Even if there is no problem with Qi Xuansu and he managed to hide it from the outside world, will Audrey be discovered after disappearing for two days? Those people couldn't find Audrey and reported it directly to Sophia, which was exposed. Or maybe Sophia was in a bad mood,
I returned home halfway and discovered in advance that something was wrong. This kind of uncontrollable variable is really
There were too many, so Qi Xuansu could not expect everything to go smoothly and had to make an alternative plan in advance.
The alternative is to evacuate by land.
The Northern Continent is very vast, and there are not many Westerners, so the land is sparsely populated and appears to be very empty. This is completely opposite to the situation in the Central Plains. There will not be so many densely populated areas, and it is not easy to expose whereabouts.
Moreover, the Northern Continent also has a very developed railway system, and you can take a steam train. Although it is not as fast as flying, it is better than hiding. The key is that the railway system is controlled by the Steam Gospel, but Sophia captured Audrey herself.
Her personal affairs involve the Hell Apostles, so she may not dare to put the matter on the table. Furthermore, she is the Speaker of St. York, not the Speaker of the entire Northern Continent. The states in the Northern Continent are relatively independent and are coordinated by the Holy Court. Sophia
The St. York railway can be suspended, but there is no way to reach out to other states. Only the Holy Court can have such power, so the Holy Court is the master of the Northern Continent.
Although Sofia and the Holy Court seem to be one family, they still have to share the pot. The huge economic losses caused by suspending the railway system are something that the Holy Court is unwilling to accept.
Ninety-nine percent of problems can be attributed to the economy. When the economy is good, everyone has money to make and has a career, and hello, me, and everyone can cover up ninety-nine percent of the contradictions. On the contrary, when you have no money, you lose hope.
At that time, all kinds of conflicts arise, and even small things may develop into big conflicts.
The reason why the Holy Court gave up on the Southern Continent and sat back and watched Tawanting establish the country was not because the Holy Court thought it could not win, but because the Holy Court believed that the cost of war was too high. From the beginning to the end, the Holy Court attached great importance to the issue of money, so Qi Xuansu believed that
The Holy See will not stop the railway system on a large scale because of Sofia.
If you leave St. York by land, there are more routes to choose from. After all, the railways are distributed in a network. After careful study, Qi Xuansu prefers to go to Harrisburg first, then from Harrisburg to Cincinnati, and then from Cincinnati
Head to St. Louis, then pass through Springfield, Fort Smith and other places, and finally arrive at the San Antonio Mission. This place is very close to the border river Rio Grande and has more options. You can either go from Del Rio or Larei
If you want to go further, you can also go from McAllen.
Qi Xuansu made several alternative plans on this basis. It is best to
Take the sea route by boat. If there is a problem with the sea route, you can land at the nearest land and take the land route. After all, the port city will inevitably have a supporting railway system to ensure the transportation of goods.
In fact, there are some railways in the Central Plains, but not many. Many people believe that building railways will destroy Feng Shui and are very resistant. They would rather build canals than railways. The underlying reason is that the food and clothing of millions of workers is dependent on them.
Since the 19th century, a Grand Canal has connected the north and south. Especially since the Wei Dynasty, the Grand Canal has carried transportation between the imperial capital and the south of the Yangtze River. It has been more than 400 years and nearly 500 years. This can no longer be described as deep-rooted, but as deep-rooted.
Of course, it is very difficult to replace water transportation with sea transportation, let alone railway transportation.
When Qi Xuansu went to Bohai Mansion, he took a boat northward and took the Grand Canal instead of the railway.
There is water transportation in the north of the Yangtze River, and there is also a big river in the south of the Yangtze River. We have to admit that water transportation is the most suitable for large-scale cargo transportation, so coastal ports are often prosperous and developed, while the inland inevitably lags behind. This also objectively restricts the development of railways.
I have to admit that Westerners are ahead in this regard. There is nothing shameful in admitting one's own shortcomings.
If the Westerners didn't have some real skills, they wouldn't be able to seize Posasia and the New World. Although they spit out the East Possia and the Southern Continent, the power of the Westerners cannot be denied.
Being cruel and cunning is one thing, being strong is another. There is no conflict between the two. Whether you are strong or not has nothing to do with your moral level.
Qi Xuansu compared the map and finally determined a total of four routes.
In such a large Northern Continent, of course there is not only Strawney as a chess piece, but a whole network. As the leader of Beichen Hall in the New Continent, Qi Xuansu can naturally use this network.
Beichen Hall calls these people on the network "hidden people". They each have their own division of labor, such as Strauni. In fact, Beichen Hall will not use him rashly, nor assign him any daily tasks.
One, pay attention to hiding your identity and wait patiently. Then you will activate him at the critical moment to obtain key information. .??.
Therefore, Strawney's main responsibility is to obtain intelligence, but it is relatively high-end intelligence. There is also some low-end intelligence, such as observing the number of ships in the port, the pattern of ships leaving the port, the frequency of trains, the types of goods transported, etc.
Mainly statistical data, then reporting the data and then analyzing it.
For example, the tavern at the port has been doing very well recently, and the customers are mainly navy.
The rules of naval ships going to sea can be deduced from the business rules of taverns. If the navy is a family man, it is not difficult not to go to taverns. You can analyze it through the children's toy stores near the port, because every time they go to sea,
It takes several months or even longer. Seafarers will inevitably buy a lot of gifts when they return home, including toys for children. A lot of toys were sold this month, which means that many seafarers have returned to Hong Kong, which determines the specific time.
Both examples are to analyze some information based on the market conditions of specific regions and specific businesses, which requires a lot of statistics, needs to be seen and remembered, rather than asking and communicating all over the world.
These small pieces of information are then aggregated and spliced together, and the context gradually becomes clear, and finally becomes the grasp of specific trends.
There is also a kind of "hidden son" who is responsible for doing some dirty work, such as assassination. This assassination is not necessarily aimed at the enemy. If some people defect to the northern continent with important information, they can be cleaned up by using "hidden son". This is
Against traitors.
Qi Xuansu contacted a secret agent who was dormant in St. York. His usual job was as a tavern waiter, but he was actually a non-staff member of Beichen Hall. His task was not to collect intelligence, but to handle some chores. Qi Xuansu did not ask him to assassinate anyone.
, but asked him to prepare two false identities and corresponding tickets through the underground black market.
Anzi completed the task easily. He only knew that Qi Xuansu was his superior, but did not know Qi Xuansu's identity.
Then Qi Xuansu contacted another Anzi and had a similar task, preparing two false identities and corresponding ferry tickets.
The four routes are the four secrets.
Even if someone is caught by mistake, Qi Xuansu's plan will not be fully exposed.
In terms of train and boat tickets, the specific time may not be very accurate, but tickets and boat tickets can be purchased according to the specific changes in the itinerary, so this is not a problem.
With the manpower of the Holy Court in the northern continent, it cannot build a strict organizational system. Not to mention the relative independence and autonomy of each state, some places do not even have a complete government or yamen. In the Central Plains, there is a household registration system. As long as it is not in troubled times,
, the wanted person is very deterrent. But the Northern Continent is different. If you commit an offense in one state, you can just escape to another state. The states do not understand each other and do not even recognize each other's various laws. This is a problem.
There is no room for exploiting loopholes.
After determining the route, we were ready to attack Sophia's mansion.
