Chapter 200: Henry's Surprise (Part II)

The latest issue of the "China Daily" not only carried in detail the news of the total annihilation of the Anglo-French combined fleet of the Han Kingdom, but also the news of the defeat of the British and French armies that invaded the Han Kingdom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It turns out that the army of the Great Han Kingdom is also very powerful!" Henry thought to himself.

Although the Han Kingdom did not have a strong navy, the air force of the Han Kingdom was able to destroy the enemy's navy, and the army of the Han Kingdom was also very strong, and Henry hoped that the Han Kingdom would attract more attention from Britain and France, which would greatly reduce the pressure on Germany.

……

Nearly twenty hours later, the airship entered the Siqi Province area, and the airship's flight altitude slowly decreased, so that the people in the airship could see things on the ground more clearly.

"Hey, where are we?" Henry rubbed his eyes with his hands in disbelief and continued to look at the ground, as if he had returned to Europe, the winding or straight cement road on the place name, the black smoke train on the railway, the huge factory and the towering black smoke chimney, is this still the backward China?

Although Henry had learned some things in the Siqi area through the "China Daily", but the newspaper is a newspaper, and even if what is written in the newspaper is true, it may be exaggerated, but now Henry has witnessed this scene with his own eyes, these scenes should not have appeared in China, but in Europe or North America, but now they have appeared in countries where Henry thought he was backward.

A huge question mark arose in Henry's mind: How could there be so many factories in China, which was predominantly agricultural?

However, seeing those huge factories on the ground, another doubt in Henry's heart was also solved, the Han Kingdom was able to manufacture airships that the Western powers did not have, if there was no certain industrial base, how could it be made? In his heart, Henry raised the strength of the Han Kingdom to another level, and the strength of the Han Kingdom was probably not weaker than that of the third-class Western powers.

In Henry's heart, the strength of the Han Kingdom is far inferior to that of Britain, France, Germany and other first-class Western powers, even if the Han Kingdom has such a thing as an airship.

Don't look at the so-called Britain, France, Russia, and the four-nation alliance did not defeat the Han Kingdom, in fact, in addition to the Yueben, the other three countries really sent very few troops to attack the Han Kingdom, after all, the Han Kingdom is in East Asia, and Britain and France are in Europe, the two countries cannot travel long distances to send too many troops to Asia to attack the Han Kingdom, and the same is true for Russia, although Russia and the Han Kingdom are bordered on the road, but the core area of Russia is in Europe, and it is unrealistic to send a large army from Europe to Asia.

If Britain, France, and Russia go all out to deal with the Han Kingdom, Henry believes that the Han Kingdom will definitely fall, and of course, none of these three countries can go all out.

As the airship got closer and closer to Yuanhe City, Henry became more and more surprised by the Han Kingdom, because the industrial development of Siqi Province started from Yuanhe City and then spread to the outside world, so the closer it was to Yuanhe City, the more factories there were.

However, by the time the airship approached Yuanhe City, Henry couldn't sit still at all, standing by the glass window and staring at the steel giant city in front of him, Yuanhe City.

"Don't tell me this is Yuanhe City? I felt like I was back in Berlin. Henry muttered to himself.

Yuanhe City is the largest industrial city in the entire Han Kingdom, the entire Yuanhe City is full of factories, and there are high chimneys emitting black smoke everywhere, in Henry's opinion, this kind of scene should not appear in the Han Kingdom, but should appear in Berlin in Germany, London in England, Paris in France, how can such a steel giant city appear in a backward country?

But Yuanhe City appeared in front of Henry's eyes now, Cao Xuwen let Henry better appreciate Yuanhe City, and let the airship spin around Yuanhe City, Cao Xuwen was happy when he saw Henry's surprised expression.

In fact, the airship departed from Yanjing to Yuanhe City on the way, and it was the Han Kingdom to "show its muscles" to Germany, so that Germany could see the strength of the Han Kingdom with its own eyes, and the Han Kingdom was not the cowardly and backward Manchu Qing Dynasty before.

The fastest growing place in the Han Kingdom is, of course, the province of Siqi is Yuanhe City, and in addition, there is nothing to see in the area at all, so when the airship sails outside the province of Siqi, it flies directly to a height of five thousand meters, and Henry can't see the scene on the earth.

However, a new "China Daily" let Henry know that the Han Kingdom had destroyed the Anglo-French combined fleet, and repelled the British and French armies attacking the Han Kingdom from land, which was to let Henry and the Germany behind him know that the Han Kingdom had a strong military force, and the Han Kingdom had the power to repel Britain and France.

After that, the airship entered the Siqi Province, which is the most concentrated area of industry in the Han Kingdom, and at this time, the height of the airship dropped, allowing Henry to see with his own eyes that the Han Kingdom also has industry, and as it gets closer and closer to Yuanhe City, the factories are also dense, and the industrial strength will also increase.

When the airship comes to Yuanhe City, Yuanhe City is the real industrial core area of the Han Kingdom, which is not worse than the important industrial cities of Western countries, and if it is about the technical level, the industrial technology level of the Han Kingdom is even higher.

Seeing these scenes, Henry will definitely have a deeper understanding of the strength of the Han Kingdom, and will no longer look at the Han Kingdom with an inferior eye, so as to facilitate the negotiation and cooperation between the Han Kingdom and Germany in the future.

Finally, the airship landed at the airship field on the outskirts of Yuanhe City, which is different from the air base in Yuanhe City, the former is civilian and the latter is military.

In the process of descending the airship, the passengers in the airship had to re-align their seats and fasten their seat belts.

"The Great Han Kingdom is too well hidden, I didn't expect that there is such a huge industry in the interior of this backward agricultural country, and the strength of the Great Han Kingdom should not be underestimated." Henry's view of the Han Kingdom changed dramatically, and he believed in his heart that the strength of the Han Kingdom had reached the level of the weakest second-class powers, and that the Han Kingdom had the right to negotiate with Germany on an equal footing.

Now Henry understands that the Han Kingdom has the world's first air force, as well as that powerful army, and the defeat of the Han Kingdom by the Four-Power Alliance is a foregone conclusion, and such a Han Kingdom is worthy of Germany's wooing and cooperation.

Henry felt that he was more surprised along the way than he had in the first half of his life, and Henry remembered Napoleon's words: "China is a sleeping lion, once China is awakened, the world will be shaken!" ”

Now China has been woken up! (To be continued.) )
