In the room, Chentian, Thomas, and Ollie sat quietly.

Thomas is currently the head of the East Prussian Intelligence Service and the personal intelligence officer of Chentian. Of course, this intelligence bureau was established by him and Chen Tian, and it was only less than three years.

Ollie has been promoted to major and is currently the commander of the 1st Corps of the 2nd Division of the 1st Army of the East Prussian Corps.

The three men, who called themselves the Three Musketeers of East Prussia, often huddled together to discuss things.

"The prince's contract is valid for 50 years, let's talk about your opinions!" Tatsu felt that Thomas and Ollie had read the contract signed by the prince and him several times.

"I think this contract of the prince is very shameless, and our aircraft factory will become his tool in the future!" Ollie shook his head and stepped aside and poured a glass of water.

"I agree!" Thomas frowned, "We should find a way not to be at his mercy like this!" ”

"Yes! I've also been wondering if I can exploit the loopholes in this contract, and we can't openly resist the prince now. Chen Tian nodded, "Ollie, help me get a glass of water!" ”

"Thomas, would you like a drink too?" It seems that you have asked me to be responsible for serving tea and water! Ollie took their cups, "I'll carry a glass of water, and another glass of water!" ”

"Ollie! That's right! There is no constraint in the contract on how many planes we can keep for our own use! We can set up an air freight company under our aviation group and monopolize air freight in Europe! ”

"By air?" Ollie and Thomas asked in unison, "Okay?" ”

"Okay! Absolutely! Chen Tian looked at them, and then said, "Although the current plane can only seat two people, and the load capacity is not large, but with the development of technology, the safety performance of the aircraft will be higher and higher, and the load capacity will be larger and larger!" Our aircraft factory is now testing two new types of aircraft, a single-engine aircraft with a high-horsepower engine and a twin-engine aircraft with a normal engine, both of which are designed to hold a ton of something! ”

"But what does the empty use transport?" Ollie asked, puzzled, "Even if it could hold a ton of things, it would be much worse than a train!" ”

"Yes! Isn't the cost of transporting things too high, and who wants to pay several times the price to transport things by plane? And the danger of falling! Thomas shook his head.

"There is only the unthinkable, there is nothing that cannot be done! Airplanes are much faster than trains and ships, which can save a lot of time over long distances, especially in very urgent situations! Chen Tian explained to them with a smile, "First of all, it can be used to send mail, including cross-border and cross-sea fast mail!" ”

Ollie and Thomas nodded, and Thomas added, "If people see that we're delivering mail safely and trust the safety of our planes, then we can start transporting people!" ”

"That's right! We can build airports all over Europe! Chen Tian felt that Thomas's ability to accept new affairs was still very strong, and he was worthy of engaging in intelligence.

"But will the European countries let us build airports in their countries? Won't they be worried about what military purpose we use the airfield for? Ollie disagreed.

"Yes! This is a serious problem! Chen Tian suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have taken this into account. If airports are to be built in various countries, they must be for civilian purposes, and then they must be agreed to.

"Stupid! In the name of the post office, we contacted the post offices of various countries and persuaded them to agree to our use of airplanes as a new means of mailing, and gradually we were transporting people when it came to delivering mail! Thomas patted his head and said.

"Great idea! Let's set up a Thomas Airmail office! ”

A month later, the Thomas Post Office, a subsidiary of Chentian's Gigi Aviation Group, was officially established, including 7 Sky I aircraft and 5 Sky II aircraft at the beginning of its establishment. Among them, the Sky I aircraft has a speed of 180 km/h, a payload of 200 kg, and a range of 300 km; The Sky II aircraft has a speed of 260 km/h, a payload of 350 kg and a range of 420 km.

With the efforts of Chentian, Thomas Post Office first reached cooperation agreements with post offices in major German cities, and Thomas Post Office provided planes to deliver urgent mail for them. A few months later, Thomas Post Office began to expand into small and medium-sized cities, by which time they had grown to more than 30 planes, and some people even flew on their planes because they were traveling to other cities to deal with urgent matters. A year later, with the launch of the twin-engine Sky III aircraft with a range of 600 km, Thomas Post began working with other European post offices under the name of the German Post Office. Two years later, Chen Tian personally took the plane of Thomas Post Office to Britain, France and other countries to do propaganda around Europe, and people gradually began to accept airplanes as a new means of transportation.

The skies of Europe are starting to get busy.

Since then, Thomas Post Office has become synonymous with air freight. Whether in Germany or Switzerland, England or France, China or the United States, Thomas Post Offices deliver mail quickly and safely, and more and more people are flying on Thomas Post Office planes. By the end of World War I, Thomas Post had become the world's largest air freight company, bringing tens of millions of marks to Chentian's Gigi Air Group every year.

Of course, another gain brought by Thomas Post Office is that Chentian's aircraft factory has accumulated valuable technical experience in the production of transport aircraft, during the war, not only a large number of transport aircraft were directly converted into bombers, but also produced several excellent bombers, providing strong support for the German ground forces, but also bringing huge trouble to the powerful British Navy.

For Chentian's move, some people will naturally feel strong surprises.

"Gigi. William! You've done a great job! German Crown Prince Princes couldn't help but praise, and at the same time reluctantly admitted his mistake, and there was no limit on the number of planes that Chen Tian could keep in the contract, but that was because he didn't think that the planes could be used for anything other than selling.

"Interesting! Gigi, hopefully we'll have a chance to split it! Next time, I won't underestimate you! ”

Prince stood in front of his window, watching a plane fly by not far away, and the green sign was the Thomas Post Office.
