[On this cold day in the Northeast, the author finally caught a cold, and now I'm dizzy, runny nose, so sleepy and want to sleep]

When the Kunpeng-6 light airship carrying the German ambassador and the foreign minister of the Han Kingdom rose to an altitude of five thousand meters, the airship headed in the direction of Yuanhe City, and the people sitting in the airship could no longer feel any turbulence at this time, if they hadn't seen the scene outside the glass window, the people in the airship would probably think that they were still on the ground. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

(Note: Led Zeppelins in the early 20th century can usually reach 8,000-10,000 meters)

The airship flight attendant helped the four passengers unbuckle their seat belts, and at this time, the airship flew in the air at a constant speed, and the passengers did not need to stay in their seats, but could move in the airship pod.

Henry, accompanied by Cao Xuwen, curiously visited all corners of the airship, of course, the important areas of the airship are not allowed to enter.

After everyone was a little tired, they returned to their seats to rest.

Henry's translator Nick inadvertently saw a few newspapers in front of the seat, Nick knew that there were also newspapers in this country, newspapers were distributed in Yuanhe City, and it had been more than half a month since they were delivered to Yanjing, but from the newspapers, Westerners could clearly understand the changes in the Han Kingdom.

Nick casually took the newspaper and flipped through it, this newspaper was the latest issue of "China Daily", and the main news published was the annihilation of the Anglo-French combined fleet by the Han Kingdom.

"Oh my God, this is incredible." Nick only glanced at it a few times, and shouted in German in surprise, Nick was surprised that the Han Kingdom was able to wipe out the Anglo-French combined fleet, although the strength of the Anglo-French combined fleet was not very strong, but it was impossible to be eliminated by a weak naval country like the Han Kingdom.

"Nick, what's wrong with you?" Henry, who closed his eyes (thinking), opened his eyes and asked after hearing Nick's surprised voice.

Nick handed the newspaper to Henry and explained, "Mr. Henry, this is the latest issue of the China Daily, which carries the news that the Han Kingdom has wiped out the combined British and French fleet. ”

"What? Is it true that the Anglo-French combined fleet was actually wiped out by the Han Kingdom? Henry couldn't sit still for a moment, straightened up and asked Nick.

Nick couldn't prove this to Henry, after all, this matter was also what he saw from this latest issue of "China Daily", generally speaking, the news published in "China Daily" is true, but the weak navy can actually destroy the combined fleet of Britain and France, what an incredible thing, any Westerner will not easily believe it when he hears it.

"This is true, our Han Kingdom annihilated the combined fleet of Britain and France, and the news recorded in the "China Daily" is true." Wang Quan, who was sitting not far from Henry, said in German.

Hearing Wang Quan's words, Henry glanced at Cao Xuwen, but saw Cao Xuwen nodding.

"The Anglo-French combined fleet was really wiped out by the Han Kingdom, the Han Kingdom is about to rise, if the German Empire has such a partner in the Far East, it would be really good, not only can it contain part of the forces of Britain, France, and Russia, but also obtain a large number of cheap industrial raw materials from the Han Kingdom."

In a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Henry's mind, and then Henry temporarily shook these thoughts out of his mind, turned to Nick and said, "Nick, translate the contents of the newspaper to me." ”

"Yes, sir." Nick replied, then picked up the newspaper and read it to Henry in a whisper as he translated the Chinese into German from the newspaper.

"The Beiyang Fleet, the Nanyang Fleet, and the (Tian) Air Force of the Han Kingdom participated in this combat operation...... "There are some Chinese in the newspaper, and Nick doesn't know how to translate it, so he can only roughly translate it, for example, "Air Force" in Chinese, Nick directly translates it as "army in the sky".

"Army in the sky", "airship", "bombing", a series of German words appeared in Henry's ears, and then a strange idea appeared in Henry's mind: Could it be that the Han Kingdom used these airships to wipe out the combined Anglo-French fleet?

Henry knew that the navy of the Han Kingdom was basically inherited from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not to mention that the total tonnage of the navy could not catch up with the combined British and French fleet, and even the navy's naval combat experience was far inferior to that of Britain and France.

Nick did not stop and continued to translate newspapers for Henry, and soon let Henry get the truth about the destruction of the Anglo-French combined fleet: the bomb-loaded airship flew over the Anglo-French combined fleet battleship, threw the bomb directly on the battleship and sank the battleship, but the Anglo-French combined fleet battleship could not attack the airship in the sky until the Anglo-French combined fleet was destroyed.

"A warship sailing from the sky to the sea attacks, what will happen if the airships of the Han Kingdom attack my German Empire?" After getting the real idea of the destruction of the Anglo-French combined fleet, this idea appeared in Henry's mind, and finally Henry came to a conclusion: no matter how powerful the navy is, it is vulnerable in front of the air force of the Han Kingdom, even the maritime hegemon Britain.

"We in the German Empire also need airships!" Henry's breathing became heavy, if the German Empire also had such a powerful airship, there would be no need to fear Britain again!

Britain is an old power, the first to rise Britain with its powerful navy in the world has a large number of colonies, and Germany has not risen for many years, at this time the world's colonies have been divided by the old powers, squeezing the colonies is a way for a country to develop rapidly, now Germany has no way to start, if it obtains colonies, it can only be taken from other countries, but Britain with the most powerful navy is a strong wall in front of Germany.

Germany has always attached importance to the development of the navy, but the German navy is too far behind the British navy, not to mention the performance of warships, even the number of warships is far less than that of Britain, Germany builds a warship, Britain can build three, five or even ten warships, this is the strength of the old power Britain.

Now the emergence of a new weapon that can easily sink a battleship is simply a blessing for Germany, as long as Germany can build such a powerful airship, the British navy will be vulnerable in front of the German air force, and Germany can break the British blockade and obtain more colonies.

But in the end, Henry thought of a question: Germany may not be able to build such a powerful airship in a short time, maybe it can ask the Han Kingdom to buy airship technology, but will the Han Kingdom sell airship technology to Germany? Or how much did it cost Germany to get airship technology?

Henry was shocked by the use of airships to wipe out the combined Anglo-French fleet, but Nick's next words made Henry's mouth open and closed...... (To be continued.) )
