Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

"Since all the leaders are eager to learn, I'll teach them all together!"

Xia Weiwei, recalling Ma Hongwei's instruction to her, explained to the leaders: "The shorter button on the lower right is for turning the screen on and off. Holding it down will turn the device on and off."

"The longer button on the upper right is the volume control; push it up to increase the volume and push it down to decrease it."

"The square in the middle is the main interface, which contains various applications. In the future world, you can make video calls directly with the help of the Internet. Since there is no Internet here, we have removed Wechat for you."

"Video call?"

Deputy Division Commander Nie was somewhat puzzled.

"A video call is when two people use their mobile phones to communicate via video."

Xia Weiwei explained, "It's like, if you, sir, are in northern Shaanxi and I'm in Beijing, or even if I'm in the United States, we can still see each other and hear each other's voices through video calls on our phones."

"hiss!"

Division Commander He, Deputy Division Commander Nie, and Chief of Staff Ni were all hearing about video call functionality for the first time.

They were naturally amazed by this powerful function at first glance.

Nowadays, if you want to make a phone call, you have to install a phone line.

The telephone line can only reach where the telephone can be made.

Without a telephone line, a phone call cannot be made.

The only technology that doesn't require wires is wireless telegraphy.

Wireless telegraph communication was very complicated. The message to be sent had to be translated into Morse code before it could be sent, and the recipient also had to translate the code.

Radio broadcasts can be heard, but you can only listen and not respond.

This video call allows both phones to see each other directly, making it an incredibly powerful tool.

If they had such means, it would be very easy for them to contact the Soviet area.

When applied to intelligence communication, it can instantly transmit crucial information back.

Commander He looked at Xia Weiwei and asked, "Can we make this video call here?"

"cannot!"

Xia Weiwei shook her head and said, "In fact, the Internet also requires a line to connect. In the future world, China has built many base stations. The signals released by the base stations can be connected to mobile phones, so as long as it is not a remote and desolate place, everyone can use the Internet."

"But currently, we have no way to establish a base station in this spacetime."

Deputy Division Commander Nie looked regretful: "That's such a pity!"

"Old Nie, there's no such thing as instant success in this world."

Commander Liu shook his head and said, "Now that we have walkie-talkies, our communication methods are many times better than before."

"yes!"

Commander He and Deputy Commander Nie both nodded.

In the past, they could only use telegraphs by hand-cranked generators.

In contrast, the Japanese army not only had access to radios, but also telephones.

The Japanese army equipped regiments with radios, with each regiment typically having 5-8 radios.

It was many times stronger than the Eighth Route Army, which could only equip its brigades at the time.

It would take several years before the Eighth Route Army could equip its regiments with the necessary gear.

However, the Japanese army could still use telephones for communication at the grassroots level.

Each regiment's communications squadron has a telephone team, which comprises 4-6 telephone sub-teams. Each sub-team has 3 telephones and a switchboard.

In other words, a Japanese regiment of three to four thousand men would have at least five radios and twelve telephones.

At that time, a brigade of the Eighth Route Army had more than 6000 men, but only one or two radios.

However, as the war progressed, especially into the stalemate phase, the Eighth Route Army would capture some telephones from fixed strongholds and pillboxes.

During that period, the guerrillas mainly destroyed the enemy's transportation lines and telephone lines, and the telephone lines they cut back could be used by the Eighth Route Army.

"This is a clock, which can set an alarm; this is a calculator, which can perform mathematical calculations; this is a notebook, which can record text on your phone; this is a camera, which can take photos and videos; this photo album is for browsing photos and videos..."

Xia Weiwei introduced each function one by one, since there was no internet in this time and space and not many apps were available.

"Oh, and this too!"

Xia Weiwei opened Bilibili, where she had Ma Hongwei cache about ten videos.

These videos can provide some popular science information for leaders and officials.

"These videos are all about future technologies, and the content must not be leaked."

Upon hearing Xia Weiwei's words, Division Commander Liu solemnly instructed, "Old He, Old Nie, these contents are currently only for you division commanders, deputy division commanders, political commissars, deputy political commissars, and chiefs of staff to see. No one else is allowed to know."

"Old Liu, is it as serious as you make it out to be?"

Deputy Division Commander Nie was somewhat puzzled.

"You'll understand once you see it; I can't explain it clearly just by telling you!"

Political Commissar Zhang said with a sigh, "If that information were leaked, it would inevitably affect the world order."

He had also seen videos of nuclear explosions, and anyone who saw such devastating power would be filled with fear.

According to Xia Weiwei, the five major powers of later generations have maintained peace for decades and have never started a world war with each other again.

The reason for this is nuclear weapons.

Of course, if nuclear weapons can only kill ordinary people, then the war will never end.

After all, nuclear weapons have only killed a few hundred thousand people since their invention.

Guns, bombs, and poison gas have killed tens or hundreds of millions of people.

True peace is possible because nuclear weapons can potentially destroy the enemy's leaders, key industries, ports, military bases, and so on.

Even if they were to win a nuclear war, their country would end up riddled with holes, offering absolutely no benefit.

Such a weapon would certainly boost morale if it were acquired by an ally, but if it were acquired by the enemy, it would severely damage their own morale.

They will have to confront the United States in the future, so such news naturally needs to be blocked.

Xia Weiwei asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, how about we watch a video of Chang'e flying to the moon?"

"Chang'e flying to the moon? Does Chang'e really exist?"

The leaders looked puzzled.

They don't believe in any gods.

If gods really exist, why don't they come to save China and punish those foreign devils?

"There really was a Chang'e who flew to the moon, but this Chang'e is not the same Chang'e as the legendary one!"

As Xia Weiwei spoke, she helped the leaders use their respective mobile phones to open the video of the Chang'e 6 lunar landing.

This video was shown to her by Ma Hongwei during her second trip to the future.

This is a significant event for the Chinese people.

After all, the myth of Chang'e flying to the moon has been a part of ancient Chinese mythology.
