Did Tesla invent the radio?
No, it should be said that Tesla invented the radio broadcasting system including radio and broadcasting equipment.
When receiving reports from the company and the military, Emperor Zhu's face was filled with smiles.
"So he picked up our radio signals?"
This is somewhat unexpected.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we tested his radio and it is indeed possible to pick up radio signals."
Sun Hu looked somewhat helpless. It was really hard to accept that the secret that had been kept secret for so many years was exposed just like that.
Radio station!
It has always been the imperial military's trump card.
Although it is not a weapon that can kill people directly, the role it played in the war was even greater than that of ten divisions and ten battleships.
"So what does the military mean?"
Emperor Zhu asked with a smile.
"Should we ask Tesla to keep it secret and temporarily block his invention?"
"Your Majesty, the military values confidentiality, but we have no intention and will never use military secrets to interfere with civilian inventions."
In the empire, the military has a transcendent status, but Sun Hu knows where the military's boundaries are. If the military interferes with civilian inventions on the pretext of confidentiality, then they will definitely be severely punished.
"So, the military has no comment on this matter. Tesla's invention is his invention, and the military's secrets are the military's secrets. There is no necessary connection between the two."
In fact, there is another reason that Sun Hu did not state explicitly. According to intelligence analysis by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the naval departments of Europe, the United States and other countries invested in the research of radio stations several years ago. They have made some progress and are expected to achieve success in the next three to five years.
In this situation, showing the open-minded side of the military will only bring benefits and no harm. After all, having been with His Majesty for so long, he knows His Majesty's temper very well. His Majesty attaches great importance to scientific innovation and has always hated anything that hinders scientific innovation.
And from the military's point of view, the military also supports scientific innovation, and technology is combat effectiveness!
How could the military, which has tried the benefits of science, not know about this?
Moreover, radio broadcasting also allowed the military to see another possibility, a radio communicator similar to a wireless phone, which would be more conducive to military operations.
"Um,"
Nodding, Emperor Zhu said.
"It's good that the military thinks this way. Radio broadcasting... in my opinion, its importance may even far exceed that of radio stations."
What?
Now Sun Hu was a little confused.
“Is radio broadcasting that important?”
"Sun Qing, what do you think it would mean if every household had a radio, or if one day the vast majority of people in the country could hear a piece of news through the radio or outdoor broadcasts?"
Looking at Sun Hu who seemed a little confused, Emperor Zhu continued.
"Radio will usher in a new era where people will not only hear news and current affairs, but also enjoy music, comedy and other programs, and of course, our voice will be heard all over the world. Radio will deliver propaganda directly to people's ears, spread to their minds, influence them and sway them."
How influential is radio?
It is no exaggeration to say that the role it played during World War II was even greater than that of thousands of troops!
Radio is a mass communication medium that appeared after newspapers. Compared with newspapers, it has the advantages of strong timeliness, easy listening, instant access across thousands of miles, the ability to overcome language barriers and spread across national borders, strong appeal, no text barriers and a wide audience. It was precisely this communication advantage that enabled radio to play an extremely important role during World War II.
Not to mention World War II, even during economic crises, such as Roosevelt's "fireside speech", it awakened the confidence of Americans.
If there were no radio and the newspapers were the only ones to reach the audience, its audience would be very limited. However, radio broadcasting allows people to hear speeches directly, and speeches mobilize people's hearts.
"Of course, radio will also become a weapon in the hands of other countries. They can use radio to awaken the patriotism of the people and call for resistance during the war. But in any case, radio is an extremely important propaganda tool."
What are promotional tools used for?
Of course, it is used to rally people's hearts. With radio broadcasting, the empire can use it to rally people's hearts. Of course, it can also be used to confuse people's hearts. It is not only a tool, but also a weapon.
In the next half hour, Emperor Zhu and Sun Hu talked a lot, including various "visions" about radio broadcasting and, of course, ideas about wireless walkie-talkies. Compared with broadcasting, Sun Hu was naturally more interested in wireless walkie-talkies, after all, this was the direction of military research.
At the end of the conversation, they talked about the "tank leak incident" again. When they learned that the source of the leak had not yet been found, Emperor Zhu nodded and said.
"The confidentiality of weapons has always been a big problem. Unless we don't train and equip them, there is no way to guarantee that the weapons will not be leaked. After all, with so many weapons and so many troops, even if we have a place as big as the Patagonia Plateau for training, it is impossible to keep it secret forever. There are occasional leaks, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"really,"
Sun Hu said with some regret.
"The only pity is that according to the military's plan, they could use tanks to deliver a surprise attack to the enemy, but now it seems unlikely."
“Not much of an impact!”
Emperor Zhu simply waved his hand and said.
"Weapons are important, but tactics are more important. Tanks are just a kind of weapon. To unleash their power, the key is still tactics!"
It depends on tactics!
Suddenly Emperor Zhu seemed to find that he had fallen into some misunderstanding. He thought that as long as the tanks were kept secret, foreigners would not get them, and he could use the tanks to inflict a surprise blow on the enemy.
But what is the reality?
In another world, tanks were deployed in the battlefield during World War I, but so what? To the military forces of various countries, tanks were just a new toy, and not many people realized their power.
When Sandezi used blitzkrieg to attack Poland, France and Russia, Sandezi's tanks were neither the most nor the best, but what was the result?
Equipped with advanced tactics, Sandezi's tank troops swept across almost the entire Europe like a torrent of wind and rain.
Weapons may be important, but the most important thing is tactics and people!
