The surging wealth has made Emperor Yang always make some moves that make his subordinates speechless recently, such as building a skyscraper, he wants to build a skyscraper in Beijing to show the majesty of his empire, one hundred and two floors, with a spire height of more than 400 meters, the name is the Empire State Building.

As soon as this building plan was announced, the whole world was dumbfounded, you must know that the only skyscraper that exceeded 100 meters at this time was the headquarters of the Young's consortium in Sweden, which had been regarded by Europeans as an industrial miracle, with a total of 40 floors, although there were a few similar buildings in other European countries, but none of them exceeded 100 meters so far. Britain is because Mrs. Victoria doesn't like it, so the height of the building is limited, and several other countries either don't have this strength, or they don't build it for one reason or another, originally this was the time when the United States was ambitious to build high-rise buildings, but now the United States let Emperor Yang fan back with a claw, and the economy continues to be sluggish, how can there be money to play this kind of thing.

Now that Emperor Yang has taken over the position of the number one nouveau riche, then he will naturally take over the ways that the Americans showed off back then, and the Empire State Building is one of them.

In fact, this project has no technical pressure for him at all, the design drawings are very simple, he is not even too lazy to change the drawings, directly engaged in a full set of design drawings of the Empire State Building, the rest is nothing more than construction, the steel frame structure is not high-tech, nothing more than the problem of welding technology, as the world's leader in welding technology, there is no shortage of excellent welders under the Yang consortium, cement is simpler, as for the rest of the tower crane and other things are not worth mentioning for the Great Wall Heavy Industry, Now they can even build a 100-ton gantry crane, which is just like playing.

When completed, the skyscraper will serve as the headquarters of the People's Bank, which is currently too busy with a growing number of employees. Even if it had to be dispersed, it was necessary to have a headquarters large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, after all, it was now the central bank of several countries, the Empire of the Federal Republic of China, the Kingdom of Vietnam, the People's Republic of Mexico, and the Confederate States of America.

The Japanese government wants to carry out currency reform and change the silver standard to the gold standard, but they do not have any gold reserves. So they wanted to use the Chinese dollar as a reserve, but then they would have to borrow a large amount of money from the People's Bank of China, but it was clear that Emperor Yang preferred to issue them money himself, and negotiations were now underway, but the Japanese government was not qualified to object.

In fact, the bank notes issued by the People's Bank of China in Japan are more popular than the yen banknotes issued by the Japanese government, and they have even been circulated on a large scale in the market. In any case, the Japanese government does not dare to manage the People's Bank of China, and this is also a good thing for the Japanese, whose credibility is certainly not comparable to that of the Bank of Japan.

A bank of this caliber is fully worthy of a one hundred and two story skyscraper. When the time comes, the minaret on the top floor will be directly plated with local tyrant gold, which is a symbol of the strength of the People's Bank of China, and a 100-ton gold mountain will be placed directly in the lobby of the headquarters, so that the people who enter the bank will be blinded first. What is a nouveau riche, this is called a nouveau riche!

In addition to building skyscrapers, he has recently been planning the Great White Fleet. The six battleships and battlecruisers that had just been commissioned were painted white, and then they made a circumnavigation voyage, starting from China to Europe, showing off their force to the European powers, then to the United States to scare President Brian, returning from the United States to Brazil, and then to the Pacific Ocean through the Panama Canal, which was about to be navigated, or into the bath of Emperor Yang.

At this time, it can be completely compared with this word, in fact, many European newspapers describe it in this way, the territory of the Chinese Empire traverses the Pacific Ocean, from the east coast to the west coast, the Yellow Dragon flag flutters over the entire North Pacific, and the navigation of the Panama Railway will further expand the scope of control of this empire, at this time the European powers found out that this guy has a far-reaching layout, and there is also his purpose of increasing the speed of battleships to more than 30 knots.

One week.

The Chinese naval fleet can appear anywhere in the world within a week, the newly established Persian Gulf Fleet can reach Cape Town from Kuwait, the South Sea Fleet from Cam Ranh Bay can arrive in Kuwait to provide support to this fleet in the same time, and the fleet can even sail directly to Perth in four days.

The American Fleet from Puerto Rico could enter the Mediterranean or reach Sweden, while the Eastern Pacific Fleet from San Francisco could reach Puerto Rico to support them in the same amount of time, and both fleets could reach most of South America in a week.

To put it simply, with the opening of the Panama Canal, the current Chinese Navy basically has the ability to intervene globally within a week, and this is currently only the ability of the United Kingdom, and no other power has it, but the British have been preparing for this day for hundreds of years, and it took him less than ten years in total.

So from a very large distance, the Panama Canal was built for China or him, but to build this canal, he actually did not pay a penny of cost, and even made a lot of money from it, although he also had 20 percent investment, but through guò to sell construction machinery and medicines, as well as to provide security services, almost one-third of the total investment in this canal went into his pocket, and he had to take 20 percent of the annual profit in the future, after thinking about this, those dignitaries of various countries who were invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the canal, all of them secretly scolded this profiteer.

The bones of nearly 3,000 workers from all over the world paved a road for Yang Feng to stretch his claws to every corner of the world.

Of course, Emperor Yang's way of showing off his wealth is not skyscrapers and the big white fleet, he also wants to build a large airship specially used to take the queen and the concubines to the sky together, very big, so big that when the attendant announced the news, the reporters in front of the chief attendant Yuan dropped their jaws.

"A luxury yacht flying in the sky, this unprecedented flying machine will be more than two hundred and forty meters long, can carry more than a hundred passengers, and fly at a speed of one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour, and His Majesty the Emperor will travel to and from Europe in this airship in the future." Yuan Shikai said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor has considered safety, you should understand the danger of hydrogen." A reporter asked cautiously.

"Hydrogen? Why use hydrogen? Isn't it possible to use helium? Yuan Shikai said with a smile.

Of course, Yang Feng will not fly in the sky on a super bomb, he has already obtained the production technology of helium from modern times, and it is not easy to copy a Hindenburg, he has drawings there, and there are better aluminum alloy materials than the original, and it is nothing more than time to build such a thing.

In fact, he has long wanted to find a way to get between Europe and China quickly, but airplanes are still unrealistic and safety cannot be guaranteed, but using an airship is much safer, and the comfort is not much worse than that of a yacht. How can an airship of the Hindenburg class fly at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour, even if it does not fly directly but chooses a safe route, such as first going to Saigon, and then flying from the sea to Kuwait, and arranging in advance for the fleet to put a warship at sea at intervals, so as to protect it in case of an accident. After arriving in Kuwait, you can basically fly directly to Sweden around the Mediterranean, although it is faster to cross the Eurasian continent directly, but after all, there are potential safety hazards in flying on other people's territory, especially flying over a large area of nomadic land and mountains that are still in a barbaric state.

Even if the helium airship is safe enough, it can't be done, and when it comes to his own safety, Emperor Yang can't tolerate it at all.

Of course, if he wants to travel, he can't only have one airship, at least twenty, ten of which are used to carry a thousand guards, seven are used to load various supplies, including cars, one can be ridden by himself, and two are spare, thinking about the scene when he travels, twenty airships appear in the sky like the sky, this cargo can't help but be a little excited.

When the time comes, the painting on it is more majestic, especially the one you ride, on which a golden dragon with teeth and claws is drawn, flying in the sky, and those who don't know may be able to think that it is a real dragon.

Moreover, in doing so, he can also advertise his own future air transport, and even sell airships to those monarchs of Europe, so you can imagine how great a sensation he will cause among the royal families and nobles of various countries if he comes to Europe in such a fashionable way. But no one has the ability to manufacture this kind of thing except themselves, whether it is the industrial production of aluminum alloy or helium, European countries do not have this ability at all, and then they can only buy from China, and then airship passenger transport will become the trend, so that China's airship manufacturing can form industrialization, and at the same time lead the airship manufacturing boom in the world, so that they will always focus on the aircraft.

As for military use, sending airships out for bombing is a pure joke, and there are bombers who use this thing, and at the current speed of development of China's aviation industry, in a few years, not to mention building some light bombers with a load of one or two tons, there will be no problem.

But it can lure the European powers to develop in this regard, let them build airships and throw bombs at each other, as for the problem of no helium, it's just a trivial matter, isn't there still hydrogen, since it's a war, it's not very normal to be a little dangerous, and the lives of those soldiers are not worth much, how can they be compared with the honorable emperors and kings, if there is a German airship bombing London, it will definitely be a memorable beauty.

Of course, in the future, the Chinese pilots used white phosphorus bullets to beat them into torches one by one, which is even more memorable. (To be continued......)
