Chapter 49 Automobiles
After returning to London, Yang Feng received two unexpected orders, one was Li Er's devil, ordered fifty eighty-two mortars and five thousand shells from Bofors, he reciprocated the favor, as a thank you to Yang Feng for giving him another 4,000 152 shells, so far Yang Feng has given him 8,000 shells alone, thinking that this is enough for the United Fleet to drink a pot.
However, Yang Feng has not sent him 305 mm heavy artillery shells so far, this thing has to be given to him before the war, the number of 600 shells is limited, and it may not be enough to waste a little.
The other is Zhang Zhidong's, Yang Feng sent him from Bofors to send engineers, has solved the problem of converters in Hanyang Iron and Steel Works very well, and also taught them some more advanced technology, even if the steel produced is not much better than imported from Europe, as a thank you Zhang Zhidong ordered 5,000 Lee Enfield rifles from Bofors, and 20 mortars.
"Brother Renquan can go back and tell Sù Lingzun, if he is interested, I can co-set up an arsenal with him in Wuhan, and it is okay to make these things with the quality of steel from Hanyang." At the Chinese embassy in London, Yang Feng told Zhang Quan, the eldest son of Zhang Zhidong, who had come to buy arms, that Zhang Quan, who was in his thirties, was currently studying poetry and books at home to prepare for the Xiucai exam, and then his son would inherit his father's business.
Zhang Quan naturally agreed.
"By the way, Brother Renquan, it's rare for you to come to Europe, if you don't have anything urgent to rush back, you might as well come here with me to see more." Yang Feng said on a whim, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Zhidong was also a little ambitious, and Geng Zinian had also tried to get rid of Yi Guifei and do it alone, since this was the case, he might as well let him take a good look at the world.
"Mr. Yang, my father sent me here this time, and I also have this intention." Zhang Quan said with a smile, in fact, this is the main intention of Zhang Zhidong to send him, as a rare one in the late Qing Dynasty who does not blindfold himself, Zhang Zhidong naturally understands that reading poetry and books is no longer of much use in this era.
"In that case, let's go see something good first, if Lord Xue is interested, you might as well go and see it together." Yang Feng stood up and said to Xue Fucheng on the side.
Lao Xue Tou was naturally interested, he knew that Yang Feng's good things were endless, and each of them could be eye-opening, the group left the Chinese embassy and took a carriage to Jinyuan Company, where the crowded scene frightened Zhang Quan, and it was all women, the news of the arrival of the new shipment of Jinyuan Company had already caused a sensation in London, and those celebrities and ladies who were waiting for it immediately pounced without hesitation.
The sight in front of him made Boss Yang very satisfied, and he was about to take the guests around the back door to enter, when a carriage stopped beside him.
"Your Royal Highness, have you not returned to Hesse?" Yang Feng looked at Alice who came out of the carriage with some astonishment.
Alice snorted very dissatisfied, and then took the foolish fiancée who came down behind, and walked directly into the hall of Jinyuan Company with a blank look at Yang Feng, but Princess Mary hadn't forgotten to say hello to him, Yang Feng touched his head a little inexplicably, he didn't seem to offend her?
Suddenly, this guy remembered that he had forgotten about the Kaiser's invitation, and it had been almost a month since the last Viper sea trial, and he had put aside the invitation of one of the most powerful monarchs in Europe, and it was no wonder that Alice, as an intermediary, was dissatisfied.
"Fengsheng, why did you offend this princess." Xue Fucheng said somewhat gloatingly.
Yang Feng smiled.
"This is the princess?" Zhang Quan asked with a shocked expression.
"The German Empire, the princess of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, if we should call it the county lord according to our name, who is the girl next to her?" Xue Fucheng said.
"Victor's fiancée, the future crown princess of England." Yang Feng said casually, and then hurriedly followed, Alice had to be coaxed, you must know that he will have to rely on this princess to complete countless big conspiracies in the future.
"Your Highness, when will you return to Hesse, if necessary, I can send you off." Yang Feng leaned over to Alice, who was sweeping the goods, and said.
Alice naturally understood what he meant, smiled slightly and said, "In two days, I'll let you know when the time comes."
"Then I'll wait for your news, ah, I just shipped a good thing here, are you interested in taking a look, as for these skin care products, you don't need to pick them, I'll send them directly to the two of you when you go back." Yang Feng said.
His good thing is the car, Young's Power Systems Company, with the tank engine and gearbox he provided and the drawings he provided, it took more than a year to finally design his six-wheeled luxury bulletproof sedan, this white sedan is exactly the same as the one in the movie, even the gorgeous decorations on the body are exactly the same, when this car with classical luxury from top to bottom appeared in front of him, not to mention Xue Fucheng and these people, even Alice was stunned.
"Your Royal Highness, two princesses, are you interested in taking a ride?" Yang Feng opened the car door and said with a smile on his face.
Needless to say, Alice and the two sat in without hesitation.
The interior of this car is completely designed in accordance with modern cars, the canopy adopts a soft-top folding type, and the interior is extremely extravagant, with an engine of more than two hundred horsepower, a fluid-coupled gearbox, it is naturally very easy to drive such a car weighing less than six tons, and even the fuel is a special gasoline prepared with additives provided by Yang Feng, and in the screams of the two princesses behind him, the car roared and rushed out of the gate of Jinyuan Company, like an angry bull rushing into the street outside.
This power monster full of sci-fi sense, speeding in the rain and fog of London, the two dazzling headlights look like the magic flame of an evil dragon, scaring the pedestrians on the street to scatter and run, although you can occasionally see a car at this time, but those simple slow cars, but this monster has nothing in common, coupled with the unprecedented crazy speed, causing panic is inevitable.
The two princesses reacted from the initial panic, and immediately fell into great excitement, after all, the little girl in her twenties, it was the time of rebellion, coupled with the high status, and the depression of the rigid aristocratic life, she had an unparalleled enthusiasm for such a thing as drag racing, screaming, while lying on the window of the car, looking at the scene outside, laughing very happily, not knowing how much panic this car caused to the city.
Yang Feng was like a ya-nai who was driving a little star, arrogantly racing through the streets of London, stirring up the narrow streets and turning people on their backs, and even the police were trembling and hid aside to watch him roar by, until the goods stopped in front of the Jinyuan Company again, and then cautiously surrounded him, and when he saw the big boss Yang who came out of the car, and the carriage with the Hessian royal coat of arms next to him, he immediately dared not speak.
"What's the matter? Mr. Officer?" Yang Feng asked a police officer arrogantly.
"Sir, you have created a sao disturbance in the streets." The officer said weakly.
"Sao chaos? It's so funny, I'm just accompanying the two Highnesses for a ride in a car, is it forbidden to drive on the streets of London? Lawyer Lane, is there such a provision in English law?" Yang Feng turned his head and asked the special lawyer who came out of Jinyuan Company.
"Mr. Yang, how is it possible, there is no such law in any country, the car does not drive on the streets, so what was it invented for? Mr. Policeman, Mr. Yang's behavior does not violate the law in any way, although London has regulations on the speed of horse-drawn carriages, but it is for horse-drawn carriages, and there is no restriction on the speed of cars, as for the chaos you mentioned, it can only be blamed on these pedestrians who are too rare and strange, if you take this as a reason for Mr. Yang to break the law, then I will sue you in court for abuse of power. Attorney Ryan said to the officer with the same swagger.
Well, the poor police officer could only take his men with him and walked away with a humiliated face, in fact, he knew very well that for these super-rich, top nobles, not to mention that there are no legal restrictions, even if there are legal restrictions, it is just a joke.
Yang Feng and his luxury car made the headlines of the newspapers the next day, but for this Chinese who stimulated their nerves every three to five times, the citizens of London have become accustomed to it, except for a few newspapers that are dissatisfied with him to condemn his evil deeds, others are at most a fresh topic after tea and dinner, but those car manufacturers are different, it is not a car, it is their dream, their future.
