Chapter 82: Selling Airplanes
Regarding the conditions for taking the drawings of the plane in exchange for unsealing the Liaodong Peninsula, there are different voices within the traversal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoMany people think that this is the opening of Pandora's box, which will make the great powers swarm like sharks that smell blood, and carve up the advanced technology in the hands of the people.
However, Zhao Yi felt that even if he didn't throw out the plane blueprints, the weapons used by the Crossing Crowd in several strikes against the Japanese army would be detected by the powers. Rather than cherishing it in secret, it is better to throw it out and sell it at a price.
The great powers are not monolithic, and the big powder keg of the European continent has in fact planted a fuse, and the situation is very complicated. Throwing out a mature technology that can change the dynamics of war will make the tense forces on the edge of their seats.
No one wants to be a victim of this new technology, and mastering and applying this technology is bound to become the most urgent desire of the great powers. At that time, this small peninsula in East Asia, except for Tsarist Russia, which urgently needed ice-free ports as an outlet to the sea, no one would compare its value with the cross-era technology of airplanes.
After all, drawings are just drawings, and the public can use technical barriers to ensure that their interests are in their pockets. You can also use the knowledge that is more than a hundred years ahead of you to bring the technology tree of the crooked powers. This kind of pleasure of making others take detours makes Zhao Yi a little excited when he thinks about it.
There is also a generous throwing out of the plane drawings, showing a fearless attitude. A hint that we can trade, but you want to grab it, then we'll fist each other.
In the end, the "director team" who was told to be the chain around their necks was also an important part of their support. Unless you want to show GG, when the powers have planes, the "director team" has to equip them with life-saving anti-aircraft weapons. There is no need for anything high-minded, the anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns that were used in pickup trucks to run all over the streets in Syria in 2016 are enough to drink a few pots of this pre-World War I plane on the drawings.
In addition, Zhao Yi planned to throw out some artillery observation and aiming techniques at the right time, and introduce the Great Powers' technology tree back to the history of their large ships and giant artillery. And they chose to cross this era, endure it, hold back the aircraft carrier, and go directly to the rhythm of the Pacific naval battle in World War II.
However, it is too early to talk about these things, and it is the most important thing to get out of the Liaodong Peninsula now. Break the blockade and traverse the crowd to gain coveted resources and population.
"Mr. Coman, this drawing is a blueprint for an early experimental aircraft, and it is more suitable for the current state of science and technology in the British Empire. With all due respect, your country's current industrial base is not able to support the production of advanced aircraft. Zhao Yi said arrogantly.
"As far as I know, now the Germans have developed the original four-stroke internal combustion engine, and your country has not even fully mastered the technology of such an engine. As for the production technology of various advanced materials on the fuselage, it is even more blank in your country. So at my suggestion, Lieutenant Hao Dajian first provided you with the drawings of this experimental aircraft. If the cooperation between the British Empire and our Great Song Empire develops in a good direction in the future, I think we can provide more support in the military industry. Zhao Yi threw out a tempting painting cake.
"Thank you for the trust you have placed in me, Your Excellency Commander. I wonder if you have any thoughts on how to do this? "The Jewish business DNA in Koman's body is starting to take shape.
"You set up an aircraft manufacturing company, we have a stake, we provide technical support, and if necessary, we also provide financial support. Of course, we can negotiate the proportion of shares slowly. I think the most important thing you need to do right now, plan how to safely leave this damn peninsula with the blueprints and get in touch with the upper echelons of your country. The Japanese don't want to see this deal go through. Zhao Yi is not a master of politics and business, and he threw the problem back to Koeman.
"Oh, by the way, I think there is nothing more convincing than an airplane made of materials supplied by your country for this drawing to impress the gentlemen of your parliament. What do you say, Mr. Coman. Zhao Yi said.
"It was so good that I immediately went about getting ready, and I thought it would be most feasible to secretly return to the British Concession in Tianjin from Dalian Bay. I first replied to Zhoucheng and said goodbye to General Dashanyan, and then returned to Tianjin with the drawings. Coman said excitedly.
"Oh, is there a ship back to Tianjin in Dalian Bay?" Zhao Yi asked knowingly, Lu Xiaobei's military intelligence office had already reached there.
"Yes, there are many Europeans who still resell supplies to the Liaodong Peninsula. The Japanese were not so strict with the inspection of white ships, but they were not allowed to transport military supplies. Many of my Jewish friends are willing to take risks for the sake of profit. ”
"Aha, I appreciate this quality of your nation, and in fact I am personally inclined to help you complete your restoration in Jerusalem. Of course, the provision of help on a larger scale is subject to a vote by gentlemen in the Parliament. However, the votes of those gentlemen will always go for the kind of plan that brings more benefits, and this rule is the same in every country, isn't it? Zhao Yi vaguely remembered that the Jews had already grasped the economic lifeblood of Britain at this time.
Coman, who originally thought that he would just be able to publish a blockbuster report, was made restless by the huge amount of information thrown out by Zhao Yiyi. Although he was shrewd enough to know that many of what Zhao Yi said were things that were painted on paper, this cake was too tempting and operational.
This prince who doesn't seem to have any political city government is like a man who carries a lot of money everywhere and shows it off, and has the face of me if I have money, so come and talk to me. But the important thing is that he is not a helpless child, they have a lot of powerful thugs at home, and if you want money, you can only go to him. The Great Song Empire made a claim to occupy the Liaodong Peninsula and gave enough in exchange for the benefits of this place. Coman didn't see any reason for Britain to refuse, it was just one more flesh-sharing power, and the bargaining chips could be negotiated again.
Coman hurriedly left the Green Paint District base and hurried to fight for the huge profits. Like a fox who succeeded in stealing chickens, he hurried back to boil water and kill chickens.
Perhaps in Koman's heart, he felt that the Great Song Empire had left the mainstream international community for too long, and that this deal was a loss. Their army has already intervened in this war, and judging from the huge military superiority they have achieved so far, it will not have to pay such a big price to cut off this peninsula from the territory of the Qing Dynasty after the war.
However, it is impossible for this fox to be counted even if it is calculated, and the so-called Great Song Empire in the mouths of some foxes only has more than 400 people. What's even worse is that these foxes don't have any good intentions, and they have a bad idea of distorting the British tech tree early in the morning.
"Let these whiteskins be happy first, let them be busy building dreadnoughts and building large-caliber guns, and when we hold back the bomber swarm, there will be a time for them to cry." Hao Dajian looked at Koman's back and said.
As a mechanical graduate who had driven agricultural airplanes for many years, Hao Dajian didn't spend much time drawing the kind of pre-World War I airplanes. Because of his professional strength and his work as an airplane, he joined a club in Kangaroo Country with the theme of replicating classic airplanes. He had been involved in making these early airplanes by hand, so he drew rough drawings from memory.
The eighth-level fitter who was injured in D+15 to save little Lori Anne is named Zhao Lang. He was out of danger and he was completely conscious. After reading the drawings and the list of equipment used to repair the equipment, I replied in the affirmative that it was possible to save a prototype with the existing equipment.
In this way, the sale of airplanes has become the most convenient bargaining chip in the hands of the crossers, and the value of airplanes to the European powers sitting on the powder keg is self-evident. A group of black-bellied business elites plan to sell long-range artillery observation technology, early radio technology, and other technologies and equipment that can be used in conjunction with aircraft. In short, when you get on the boat, it's not so easy to get down. Let the arms race of the great powers heat up early, and make a big deal before the start of World War I.
