Chapter 990 - Expensive Toys (Medium)
When Wang Guorui announced that the plane was open to the people, and it was open to the people to play by themselves, and even trained some pilots, and gave these pilots a high salary. As a result, this suddenly made the entire European and American countries almost vomit blood. What surprised them was not because they gave the pilot a high salary, but because this Wang Guorui actually opened this plane to the people opposite the people, and actually let the people play by themselves, which is really speechless. You must know that this airplane has just been invented, and this airplane has just been announced to the world. According to the general rule, all newly invented technologies are given priority to the military, and it is impossible for the people to use them in the first place. If people want to use military technology, it will take years at least, or even decades before the ban can be lifted for civilian use.
But how long has Wang Guorui only announced it, and even the plane can only stay in the air for about 20 minutes, and it is actually open to civilians? This is simply ridiculous, and it is actually open to the use of the people. You know, the world doesn't know how many spies there are, although it is difficult for foreigners to plant spies in China for a long time. However, if China opens up these aircraft to the private sector, then it will be easy for foreigners to get their hands on the parameters of these aircraft. After all, so many people take planes, are foreigners' agents just such a rice bucket? So many people are flying, so it's not a secret, I'm afraid these parameters don't sound difficult to play.
As for this thing that is open to the people to use and play, and even used to open clubs to make money, this makes foreigners very complaining.
"This Chinese emperor usually looks like he is shrewd, how can he be so stupid this time? He didn't know that this plane had just been invented and should be kept in very strict secrecy? He took the initiative to open it to the private sector for use, isn't this equivalent to giving us all the parameters of the aircraft? In this way, we can easily get these aircraft parameters almost effortlessly, so that the technology they spent a lot of time researching is also stolen by us, which is simply a free gift! What exactly does he want to do? Could it be that he is announcing this to the public? A British official said.
But another British official, who thinks he knows China, replied: "Actually, it's easy to explain that the Chinese don't have the slightest respect for technology." I know that they Chinese don't really think that technology is useful in their bones. You must know that they actually invented gunpowder very early, but they rarely used gunpowder to fight wars, and gunpowder was only used to make firecrackers. Also, they invented the compass, but it was only used to see Feng Shui. But if you look at us in the West, we in the West used gunpowder to fight wars, and finally we used thermal weapons through gunpowder, and finally we were inspired to gradually make explosives from chemical products. And the compass has become the most important foundation for our Western voyages, allowing us to become the world's empire on which the sun never sets in the waves. In fact, the Chinese do not attach importance to science in their bones, they all use these scientific products crookedly. So, when they invented the airplane this time, their first idea was not to use it for military purposes, but to make money. ”
"Is that so?" It seems that some British people don't believe it, but obviously more people do.
Because they still look down on the Chinese in their bones, they think that everything that belittles the Chinese seems to be right. And everyone subconsciously believes this, even if a small number of people have doubts about this evaluation, but in this "politically correct" situation that belittles China, even those British officials who think that Wang Guorui has deep meaning dare not tell the truth. Sometimes, the political correctness of foreigners is also very bad.
And this British version that Westerners use gunpowder to make bullets to resist the enemy, while the Chinese will only use it to make firecrackers. Westerners use the compass to sail, while the Chinese only use it to see feng shui. In fact, many Chinese people think this way, and even a literary thinker surnamed Zhou in history also thinks so, and even passed his words to future generations, as if the Chinese are like this.
But they were all wrong, this gunpowder China was the first to make firearms. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been used to make firearms, and even to resist the Mongols. Although they later failed, the Mongols relied on firearms to defeat the European countries. Even later, the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Mongols and expelled the Tartars, firearms were also the main effect, and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, firearms accounted for at least one-third of the army, and in the middle and late periods, they accounted for more than 50 percent. Even China was the first to form the first Shenji battalion, which was purely a firearms unit. If it weren't for the political corruption in the late Ming Dynasty, coupled with the serious corruption of firearms manufacturing officials and the serious substandard firearms, the front-line soldiers would rather use cold weapons than use those firearms that are inferior to suicide, then perhaps history would not have been the same.
As for navigation, it was also during the Song Dynasty, during which there was a lot of maritime trade, and the compass was used immensely. Therefore, in order to enhance the persuasiveness of his article, the writer surnamed Zhou really harmed people, and did not hesitate to slander Chinese history by making partial generalizations, ignoring the real situation of Chinese history, which is completely nonsense, which proves that Chinese ideology is problematic. Ignoring China's use of science and technology is also very smart, he ignores China's importance to science and technology in history, and takes advantage of the fact that ordinary people at that time did not understand history and were not familiar with historical details, so he just and did not know how many people were deceived. Even more than 100 years later, there were still many people who were deceived by this article, believing that all the ancient Chinese people did not know how to use technology, and they were all a group of ignorant people, all of whom regarded technology as a miracle like the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"These Chinese are not justified, they actually treat this aircraft as civilian, so that we don't have to be afraid." Even in the future, we can continue to keep it secret in the military, first as a military product, and then resolutely not open it to the people. This serves as an important means for us, an important means of flying. This future will be the focus of our Army's development, and we will rely on this aircraft to regain our Army's power and interests in the future. This aircraft is our most important thing, and we will consider creating a separate unit in the future. We formed this army aviation, and then specially trained pilots to go into combat. Then we will strive to research out this aircraft that can be used in combat as soon as possible. Even, in the future, perhaps our army will be able to return to the most important branch of the armed forces. This aircraft is more free than the navy, which is only capable of attacking land along the coast. But our plane, we can ignore the geography and ignore the ocean, and we can attack. Then of course we will be fine, and then we can rise again! When the time comes, our army can regain the throne of the first service again, and let those navies go to hell! A British Army officer shouted excitedly.
Obviously, these armies still think that this aviation unit is an "army", and in fact this is it, the convention of history. When a branch of the military does not exert its strength enough, they will think that they are affiliated with other branches of the military. Even many industries are like this, only if the strength is enough to be able to stand on their own. But before that, even any industry or branch of the military would think that it was normal for them to be attached to that branch of the military, and even that branch of the military would think so and that it was very normal for them to be attached to themselves.
"Hahahaha, this time the Chinese except for one stinky chess, so we are really lucky." The Chinese actually opened this plane to civilian use, and it seems that they are just using science to do something meaningless, that is, to do this kind of thing. So next, we can develop the aircraft well, and then go and compete with the Navy for benefits. At that time, the Chinese will definitely regret it, they will definitely regret opening the plane to civilian use, and then let the people use it as they please. In this way, where they have any secrets that can be kept secret, then we can easily access their technology. ”
These British army officers apparently still thought that the Chinese opened the plane for civilian use was a very stupid thing, but it was just a preparation for making money. Of course, they know that the annual fee of this so-called flying club is 200 yuan, which is very high, and ordinary people cannot afford to play it. They even believe that the plane is just a means for China to make money, and that it is not really intended to be used for military purposes.
The Chinese in their eyes are still the Chinese in the Manchu Qing era, who are very disdainful of science, but are very strict with those Chinese who are bound with small feet and various stereotypes. They don't believe, let alone want to believe, that the Chinese have changed, and that they are just a flock of ostriches. The British are like this, even when they decline later, they are just nostalgic for the glory of the so-called empire on which the sun never sets. For those outside worlds, they are no different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they are just deceiving themselves as much as possible, intoxicated with the glory of the past.
In fact, China also has a time of decline, but the Chinese are very good at learning. Don't think that the Chinese are absolutely conservative, in fact, from the perspective of historical development, the Chinese are not really conservative. Every time it declines, I will take the initiative to learn from foreign countries, although the learning process may have to "pay tuition", but at least I study hard, I am working hard to explore, and I am constantly "trial and error". Maybe the process is more arduous and costly, but at least there is courage to work hard. Maybe someone succeeded, someone went down the wrong path and failed, paying a heavy price or even lives. But they are all people who are willing to move forward and have the courage to lead change in China. However, although these foreign devils may be able to become strong for a while, when they decline, few of them are willing to learn from the strong, and they will just revel in the past. This is true of the Netherlands, this is true of Spain, and even the British. (To be continued.) )
