On the second day of the meeting between Cixi and Li Hongzhang, Zhang Yi had already arrived in England and landed from Liverpool.

Zhang Jianzhi stayed in the United States for more than a month, and he originally had plans to return to China after the end of the coup d'état, but he met two people in the United States, which caused him to stay again.

That was the Wright brothers, who were researching airplanes, and the Wright brothers were researching airplanes at this time, but they were really not well-known in the United States, and they were doing difficult research in a villa in Boston.

When Zhang Yi visited, the two of them were full of surprise at this strange Oriental, and they didn't know how he knew about his brother and brother, and they didn't know how this person was so interested in the plane he was researching, and asked everywhere about his brother's news.

But Zhang Yi for the two of them is hard work, originally Zhang Yi forgot about these things, just busy with the procurement of machinery, equipment and technology, and the political, military, major consortium to discuss cooperation, finally, inadvertently, Zhang Yi in the square actually saw a kite, only to remember that now is the eve of the plane will be released, he came to the United States, not to find out, what a big regret it would be. Zhang Yi hurriedly found Wu Tingfang and asked Wu Tingfang to inquire about the news of the Wright brothers for him.

When Wu Tingfang heard that Zhang Yi was looking for these two people, he was surprised, Wu Tingfang thought that Zhang Yi would ask him to help contact some big inventors or business people like Edison, but he didn't expect to find such two people with unknown reputations, but when Wu Tingfang saw the face that was extremely confident at all times, Wu Tingfang agreed, Wu Tingfang knew that Zhang Yi would never be untargeted, and finally came to the United States, what he had to do must be the most critical thing, and it must not be delayed

。 [Marshmallow] U.S. Minister Wu Tingfang helped him search for a long time before he found two people.

Zhang Yi in the courtyard where the two people conducted research, what they saw was full of aircraft development materials, as well as all kinds of engines, propellers and wings and other materials, and when they entered the house, it was full of design drawings, but looking at the dilapidated houses, Zhang Yi knew that these two people had spent their funds on research in order to study successful aircraft, and their lives were very hard, and Zhang Yi had to admire these people who were obsessed with their ideal lives from the bottom of his heart. Only people who are extremely persistent in their own beliefs are the driving force to promote the progress of the world!

Zhang Yi stood next to these drawings and had a conversation with the two people, Zhang Yi picked up the drawings casually, and was not modest, and began to count the problems of their aircraft drawings and the weaknesses in the machinery, Zhang Yi as a special soldier, for the aircraft is a technology that must be mastered, for the current Wright brothers, he has mastered the principle of aircraft technology, I don't know how much to beat two people, and the two people are completely attracted by not many words.

Under Zhang Yi's kind invitation, the two of them were quite excited, but they had some homeland that was difficult to give up, and they wanted to go to Fengtian for research, which was thousands of miles away, and Qing was a backward country, could they support themselves to conduct such high-end research? Crossing the King of Special Forces 385

In the end, Zhang Yi directly put forward his own conditions: first, he promised to directly provide 300,000 US dollars for the two people as initial research funds, and then provide more funds to support at any time if necessary; Second, as long as it is a technical requirement put forward by two people, Zhang Yi will meet their conditions on a global scale; third, to assist them in building a research team, so that they can get out of the situation of fighting independently, and at the same time, the whole team is led by the two of them; Fourth, in the future, if the aircraft is successfully developed and a company is set up for production and sales, they will receive 10 percent of the company's shares free of charge.

At the same time, Zhang Yi told them about the development of China, especially Fengtian, and now with the support of Germany and the United States, Fengtian is now developing with each passing day, and has a strong industrial base, especially with a first-class engine research team and factory, and a heavy industry group that has just been under construction, and at the same time, there is also the support of the German Krupp Military Industry Group, which can fully support their research.

In this way, the two people were completely tempted, and they provided 300,000 US dollars in funding at the beginning, once the aircraft research was successful, the establishment of a company for production, and would automatically obtain 10% of the company's shares, such a big economic benefit, Zhang Yi was too bold for them, and this Oriental had all kinds of ideas about aircraft manufacturing in his head, which was a problem in their research, which was perfectly solved, this is the most important thing, you must know that now the two of them are groping alone, No one has given them financial support, ideas, or research guidance, and this person can bring too much help to two people

。

In the end, the two people fully agreed, and were willing to relocate all their research materials and important equipment to China for follow-up research in China.

In this way, Zhang Yi got rid of the Wright brothers and rushed to England on the latest British merchant ship.

During this visit, Zhang Yi not only recruited capable people like the Wright brothers, but also recruited a lot of advanced technologies for automobile manufacturing and a group of technical experts, all of which Zhang Yi spent a lot of money to dig up, and will play an extremely important role in the early development of Fengtian in the future.

Zhang Yi has just arrived in Liverpool, British Minister Xue Fucheng led everyone to wait here at the port, although Zhang Yi and Xue Fucheng met for the first time, but due to Li Hongzhang's introduction, the two people's telegram exchanges were still very frequent, and they admired each other for a long time.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xue Fucheng said: "Lord Jianzhi, the lower official has already informed the British Empire of the fact that you passed by England, and the Prime Minister of the British Empire and the Minister of the Navy are interested in meeting with you several times to fully communicate on the friendship between China and Britain, you see?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "There is Minister Lao Xue, and this official is also interested in meeting with these people, and I ask you to tell me about some of the current situation of the main British dignitaries." ”

Xue Fucheng said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk in detail on the road, and then rush to London." ”

It turns out that the current British Empire is seeing the development of Fengtian and even the three provinces outside the Guanhai getting better and better, Germany and the United States can earn tens of millions of taels of silver from Mukden every year, and the two countries have also received a lot of benefits from Zhang Yi, and the British are very greedy.

According to rumors, in the Sino-Japanese negotiations in those years, Britain favored Japan and had a domineering attitude, which caused Zhang Yi, the current general of Shengjing, to be angry and swore not to associate with the British, and at the same time the relationship with the British minister Zhu Erdian was quite tense. After learning the news, the British business circles exerted pressure on the British government, believing that there had been a serious deviation in the British government's China policy, with the result that it was difficult for British businessmen to let go of what they were doing in Mukden, and a large amount of real money and silver was being fished out by the Germans and Americans, and the British could not even drink soup. As an empire on which the sun never sets, how can it really be justified to be treated like this?
