1840Indian rebirth

Sebastian looked a little hesitant: "I have no experience."

"Any job starts with no experience. If you can only do it with experience, there will be no work left."

Ma Shao said.

"It will be the first time for all editors of the news agency to engage in this work. Your specific job is not only to be an editor, but also to be a part-time reporter."

Sebastian nodded: "As long as the great chief wishes so, I am willing to serve as editor."

Ma Shao: "Well, now you are one of the editors of the news agency."

"Tomorrow I will summon all the editors to tell you about the goals and requirements of the work."

After Sebastian left, Mashao talked with some of the winners, and all the first and second prize winners, as well as some third prize winners, were accepted as editors.

Not all winners will become editors. After all, they already have jobs, and some are more important jobs. Therefore, Ma Shao will only select some of the third prize winners to recruit.

In the end, a total of eight people became editors of the news agency.

"The Apache News Agency has just started. Isn't eight people a bit too much?" Rainy Day asked. "There is also Changmao. He was originally a congressman and was responsible for many Comanche affairs. I think it's a bit too much for him to come to the news agency.

waste."

"Our news agency is not just a newspaper agency." Ma Shao said.

Rainy day asked in confusion: "It's not just a newspaper office, what else is it?"

Ma Shao: "Intelligence agency."

Still puzzled on rainy days.

Ma Shao continued to explain: "In other words, spy agencies, journalism and this industry are close relatives. The news agency belongs to Apache, so naturally it should be built as the first intelligence agency of Apache."

Relatively speaking, the journalism industry in this era is relatively pure, and reporters’ dreams are also relatively simple, which is to make big news.

But as a person of the 21st century, Ma Shao knows many events in the news industry related to spies.

In his view, all newspapers with official backgrounds are basically half-intelligence agencies, and reporters and anchors are also ideal positions for planting spies.

In the final analysis, both reporters and spies are like fishermen in the ocean of information, making a living by fishing for all kinds of information.

There was no particularly professional intelligence agency in this era, and a part-time intelligence agency run by a newspaper was more than enough for the Apache.

Ma Shao: "I will go to Oaxaca soon to visit Governor Juarez. At that time, I will bring a few editors with me and let them set up a branch in Oaxaca to serve as our intelligence contact point in Mexico, and

Contact channel with Juárez.”

Rainy Day nodded: "Then we should also equip the news agency with some thoughtful soldiers. Security and violence are also essential for espionage activities."

"That's right."

The horse whistle hesitated for a moment and then said: "After arriving in southern Mexico, I will not return to the tribe immediately, but will take a boat to Europe."

"Europe!" Rainy Day had no specific concept of Europe and felt it was too far away. "It's such a far away place. When can you come back?"

Ma Shao: "Although Europe is far away, taking a boat on the sea is much faster than traveling on land. The time spent on the road will not be longer than going to Oaxaca or California, but I may have to stay in Europe a little longer."

"After the U.S.-Mexican War is over and the Americans are freed up, the situation of the Apache will inevitably become dangerous. Before that, I need to win the support of Europe."

After the Mexicans were driven out of the southwest, Americans naturally became the dominant people here.

Even other Indian tribes are likely to face attacks from the United States, not to mention the expansion speed of the Apache power can almost be described as "explosion".

Within a few months, the population of Sleeping Bear City doubled, becoming the largest city in the Midwest, and it was able to maintain stability.

Such a wild development speed cannot be concealed no matter how low-key it is.

The Americans will definitely be deeply disturbed by this, and it is completely foreseeable that they will find trouble after the Mexican War.

The military strength of Sleeping Bear City is already quite strong, with more than a thousand regular troops and nearly all the militia members, with high morale and strong combat effectiveness.

If the current Apaches went to war with the Americans, their performance would never be worse than that of the Seminoles. There is basically no need to worry about defense in the short term.

But in the long run, this power will definitely not be able to stop the United States. Although the current military power of the United States is not very good, it can dominate the Americas, but its war potential is definitely world-class, more than a thousand times that of the Apache tribe.

Ma Shao does not want to confront the United States now, so he must seek external support - material support and diplomatic support are all indispensable.

A moment of silence on a rainy day: "Is this what "Thermodynamics" and "Guns, Germs and Steel" were prepared for?"

Ma Shao: "Yes, these two books will open the door to academia for me."

Knocking on the door of academia is an understatement.

Strictly speaking, crushing may be more appropriate.

Ma Shao is not sure about the latter. After all, he is not a professional in this field, but as a physics teacher, he is well aware of the development of physics.

The nineteenth century was the era when thermodynamics was born.

The law of conservation of energy has appeared, but it was a few years before it was regarded as the first law of thermodynamics.

Ma Shao only needs to give some more in-depth explanations of the law of conservation of energy and then change his name to leave his name in the history of physics, such as "one of the founders of thermodynamics".

And what he wants to do is obviously more than that. He doesn't want to be one of the founders of thermodynamics, but the only father of thermodynamics.

Rainy Day generally knew that Mashao's physical level was at a level he could not imagine, but he still felt unconfident about it: "Is it true... Europe is the center of science."

"Science doesn't care about blood. The wind and water are changing, and wherever it is closer to the truth, it will be its center." Mashao smiled, "In fact, the center of science is already shifting, and it will come to America, this fertile land."

"Many great scientists have been born in Europe, and I stand on their shoulders... Now I will let them stand on my shoulders." This is Ma Shao's true thoughts.

In fact, in his mind, the mission of science is no lighter than the mission of the nation.

He even considered making all the future science he knew known to the public regardless of the consequences, and then focusing on maintaining his health to see if science could surpass the future in his lifetime...

In his previous life, he was just a high school physics teacher. Although his teaching skills were good, he was not a physicist and had no qualifications for anyone to stand on his shoulders.

It's different now, his shoulders can carry an era.

…

The next day, Ma Shao summoned the editors of the news agency, eight of them in total.

"From today on, the Apache News Agency will be managed by you." The horse whistle looked at the thick smoke.

Nong Yan responded: "Great Chief, we will definitely fulfill our mission."

Ma Shao smiled: "I believe you. But before that, you need to know what your missions are."

Eight people listened.

The horse whistle continued: "First of all, you must understand that you, the news agency, like everything here, belong to Apache. You must be loyal to the interests of Apache. This is the most fundamental principle of all your work. Tell me, everything is for

What?"

"For the tribe!" eight people responded, Sebastian's response was particularly strong.

Mashao nodded: "Then it's about the specific functions of the news agency. You should know what the news agency does, but the Apache News Agency is different from the newspapers you have heard of."

"Newspapers are only part of your work. For now, they are even a very minor department. I am not in a hurry to publish newspapers."

"You just need to collect news from other newspapers and write articles to comment on it, just like you did in the past or when soliciting articles."

"Your first job is 'information'." Ma Shao emphasized, "You can think of 'information' as a substance, just like fish and shrimp in the water. You have to find, catch, screen, and process it."

"News agencies should pay attention to important information inside and outside the tribe."
