Chapter Ninety-Four: Good News Comes

Before I knew it, by the middle of October, the domestic situation was becoming more and more chaotic, and the whole of Southeast Asia was also in the midst of various uprisings and movements.

The Manchu court was under pressure to plan to revise the buffer period of the constitution, but now the imperial court is already sick to the bone marrow, the prestige of the central government is insufficient, and the local real power figures are increasingly not taking the imperial court into account.

I don't know who spread Zhenhua's plan in Nanyang, the development of Nanyang Group in Java is like a haven in troubled times, the whole Southeast Asia, if you really want to find a paradise, the territory of today's Nanyang Group is really well-deserved, so a large number of people have moved to Nanyang.

Domestic immigration to the South Seas has been carried out in Zhenhua's silent operation, and now people in the coastal area have learned about the situation in the South Seas, spontaneously rushed to that side, Zhenhua's Far East Shipping Company has added several large ships of more than 3,000 tons still can not meet the needs of these people, Yu Qiaqing's Hongan Shipping Company has also made great progress, basically a boatload of people transported over, and another ship of grain pulled back, making a lot of money.

The large influx of people doubled the pressure on Bai Xunjian, Ye Zhongyu and Sun Zhiheng, who presided over the work in Nanyang, and Chen Xuan had to plan to buy more estates in Nanyang to house these people.

However, no matter how careful Zhenhua is, it is impossible not to attract the attention of Western countries at the current scale, the strength of the Dutch has declined, and there is no substantive way to deal with the Nanyang Group, and the local government is basically useless except for looting and exploiting, and even the Japanese have begun to lay out in Nanyang, and continue to invest in Nanyang without attracting the attention of Western countries, and their strength is also constantly increasing.

There are many contradictions between European and American countries, and they are not willing to provoke the Nanyang Group and Japan's Nanyang chaebol too much for the interests of the Dutch, so now Nanyang has become a battlefield for the power game of all parties, and the development of Nanyang is like a boat sailing against the current If you don't advance or retreat, Chen Xuan has no choice but to continue to increase investment in Nanyang, but fortunately, in this year, the five more than 3,000 warships purchased from the French, British, Germans and Americans have been in place, and the Nanyang Group is not powerless in Nanyang. Lack of aggressiveness, there are some ways to defend.

But even so, the entire Nanyang is still full of contradictions and conflicts, but all countries have maintained restraint, and the whole is in a state of fighting but not breaking, Zhenhua small families naturally do not dare to argue with these old empires, but the preparations that should be made are by no means ambiguous, and they expand their territory in Nanyang silently, and more than 200 mm coastal defense guns have been slowly developed and placed in the coastal ports of the Nanyang Group, and the Nanyang Military Factory has also increased its horsepower for production reserves.

With the increase of a large number of people, the expansion of the escort force is also possible, in the operation of Chen Xuan and the Fuxing D Military Committee, more than 3,500 people were recruited in Nanyang, nominally the escort team, but in fact the size of a division, marines, engineers, artillery, communications troops and other arms are readily available, and the students of the Nanyang Army Academy take turns to learn to lead the troops, Sun Zhiheng served as the first division commander, and in addition, the militia was also trained in various parts of Nanyang.

However, due to the complicated situation in Nanyang, the expansion of Zhenhua's armed forces in Nanyang can only protect himself, and he should not think about domestic support, unless Zhenhua is willing to give up the country he has laid in Nanyang in the past year, but this is obviously not in the interests of Chen Xuan.

"Sir, sir, Mr. Gu Weijun has called, Mr. Feng Ru's aircraft 'Flyer No. 1' has been successfully developed and test-flown successfully, and the two of them ask for instructions on whether they will return to China to develop our own aircraft?"

Now with the continuous expansion of Chen Xuan's power, Li Lizhu, who has always been screaming, no longer dares to call Brother Xuan in front of Chen Xuan, but changed to Mr., Chen Xuan said that he did not change back to his original title a few times, which made Chen Xuan somewhat regretful and helpless, with the growth of status and strength, invisibly, the deep-rooted class consciousness has been working, Chen Xuan found that many of his former playmates saw him, and there was inexplicable awe in his eyes, and the previous intimate relationship was gone.

"Really?"

Chen Xuan was overjoyed, snatched the telegram in Li Lizhu's hand and looked at it carefully, it turned out that just a few days ago, Feng Ru's 'Aviator No. 1' was successfully developed, Feng Ru's aircraft signed up to participate in the San Francisco International Air Competition, with a flight altitude of more than 700 feet and a speed of 65 miles per hour to break the world record of the first international flight competition, won the Excellence Award, Feng Ru has become a world-recognized aircraft designer, manufacturer and aviator, a large number of European and American companies to Feng Ru threw an olive branch, hope Feng Ru joined, The conditions and treatment are all preferential.

However, Feng Ru refused without hesitation, and sent a telegram to China with Gu Weijun as soon as possible to ask for instructions, wanting to return to China as soon as possible and build the first aircraft completely owned by the Chinese nation.

Chen Xuan's whole person trembled with excitement, he clearly knew that if the country wants to catch up with the footsteps of Europe and the United States in the navy, it is basically impossible to do it without ten or eight years, but the aircraft is different, today's aircraft industry is still in its infancy, and European and American countries are still exploring the application of aircraft in war, and this is the best time for the Chinese nation to achieve corner overtaking.

When Chen Xuan looked at history in later generations, he sighed for Mr. Feng Ru's plane crash and his untimely death, lamenting that the Chinese nation had missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he had always strictly ordered Feng Ru not to participate in any flight tests and flight shows, since Ye Zhongyu's life could be saved, there was no reason why the life of this top scientist in modern China could not be saved!

"Ah Zhu, you go and inform Mr. Yuanpei that they are coming to Far Eastern University, and we will immediately hold a special meeting for the revival of D!"

Li Lizhu responded and walked out, Chen Xuan still couldn't calm the excitement in his heart, among all the industries in Zhenhua, Chen Xuan can be said to attach the most importance to Feng Ru's aircraft project, not that other industries are not important, but the major role of this project in the war, will give China a confidence to raise its head and raise its eyebrows, I believe that when the planes appear on the battlefield in groups, China will give the world what kind of shock, I can't be excited when I think about it.

"What does it have to be a special meeting?"

Fuxing D's high-level executives in Shanghai gathered in the secret conference room of Far Eastern University, and Cai Yuanpei asked first.

"Hahaha。。。。。。"

The appearance still couldn't calm the excitement in his heart, and he laughed out loud before he could start talking.

"If there's something to do, you said, is it worth getting carried away so much?"

Huang Kan has always liked to complain, and he was very dissatisfied with Chen Xuan's appearance of laughing at himself there without saying anything.

"Don't worry, comrades, haha, don't worry, I have a great good thing to tell you here, give, you all see, hahaha。。。。。。"

Chen Xuan carefully handed the telegram in his hand to Mr. Cai Yuanpei, who was closest to him, but he was still too happy to help himself.

Cai Yuanpei quickly read the contents of the telegram, and a happy smile appeared on his face, and then circulated it to the people in the room, and everyone was also very happy about Feng Ru's good results in the United States, which was the first time that China had won the opportunity to raise its eyebrows in the international arena in science and technology.

"Feng Dingsan can achieve such good results, which really adds luster to the country, which is really gratifying!"

Yu Youren said first, and everyone in the room also nodded in agreement.

"Airplanes? Hasn't this thing appeared in Western newspapers in recent years, and what kind of flying club, isn't it just a big toy for the rich, and it's worth being so happy? ”

Huang Kan pursed his lips and said.

"Toys? Comrades, you underestimate the role of airplanes, Comrade Jiang Fangzhen, if in the future the technology of airplanes matures and we apply airplanes to the battlefield, what will happen? ”

Jiang Fangzhen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said:

"Well, you can scout on the battlefield, yes, scout! Where we can't see it, the pilot of the aircraft can see clearly and provide the commander with timely and useful information, and by the way, if a special machine gun is installed on the aircraft, it can strafe the enemy and drop bombs。。。。。。 ”

Jiang Fangzhen deserved to be a later strategist, and soon came up with many kinds of aircraft on the battlefield, the more he said that he was more excited, the more he said that his thinking was clearer, and the whole person was dancing there, falling into extreme excitement.

"Far more than that, Brother Fang Zhen, have you ever thought about what will happen if our aircraft flies faster and faster, and the carrying capacity is getting larger and larger, after we are equipped with advanced high-explosive bombs or ***, what kind of situation will happen when we encounter the enemy's warship, you know, the cost of a warship is millions of silver, and the cost of an aircraft is only a few hundred silver! In the future, air transportation will not only be able to transport goods but also carry people, and can carry out rapid replenishment of troops, etc., and the application of aircraft will play an indispensable and important role in war, economy, and life, and the development of aerospace technology in the future will change all aspects of society。。。。。。 ”
