The Wright brothers successfully built an engine at the Detroit Automobile Factory and hurried back to New York without stopping. After more than a dozen days and nights of hard work, the engine was successfully installed on the glider. Tomorrow is the day of the test flight, and it is also a dangerous day. Major Baker hosted a banquet for the brothers, he knew in his heart the uncertainty of the test flight, for Orwell it was life and death, everyone's expressions were very solemn, there was no loud noise, and everyone did not drink much brandy in front of them.

Lori, the only female at the wine table, was unusual, drinking brandy in a big gulp, everyone knew her mood, and no one stopped her. Orwell saw Lori's sad expression, and his heart was not good. He knew that tomorrow was a test of life and death, so he didn't drink a drop of wine, and his heart was very heavy when he saw his beloved worried about him. Wright didn't drink much, looked at his brother and Lori's expressions and said, "Orwell, I'll fly tomorrow." "Your skills are not as good as mine, or I fly, rest assured that I know it."

Late at night, Orwell and Lori hugged each other, and the two were silent. After some time, Orwell stood up and smiled, "Don't worry, my dear, God will bless me." Lori's eyes were full of tears and said, "Don't go, I'll give you my body tonight!" Orwell gently stroked Lori's cheek and shook his head to leave, suddenly, Lori frantically pounced and kissed, Orwell couldn't hold back and reached out to pick up Lori??????。

December 7th, a very ordinary day,. However, for the United States of America, December 7, 1903, is an epoch-making day, a day that will forever be recorded in history. On this day, the Wright brothers realized the dream of human beings to fly, and human beings truly conquered the vast sky. But in this plane. The great invention was born in the land of China, and the Wright brothers lost the qualification to be passed down through the ages. Maybe it's because of the war, maybe it's a variable. The Wright brothers' dream of flying was brought forward by four years, also on December 7.

The weather was a bit hazy on this day, with a wind speed of level 3 and excellent flying conditions. During the Wright brothers' trip to Detroit, Major Jack led the soldiers of the Ordnance Institute to expand and widen the runway by the sea by more than ten times, which created conditions for the Wright brothers to test flights. Major Jack worked so hard not just for the hobby of flying. Rather, he saw the military value of Feitian from the perspective of a soldier, and if Feitian succeeded, great military changes would occur in the military field.

The powered glider is parked on the runway. Orwell was still bloated in flight dress. "Lori, don't worry! God will keep me safe. After the two sides embraced, Orwell walked up to Wright and nodded, and Wright nodded. Orwell. I'm sure you'll make it! Major Jack stepped forward and hugged Orwell. Orwell enters the cockpit. A burly soldier shook the propeller vigorously, and the engine motor made a noise, accompanied by the roar of the smoke motor.

The glider began to move slowly and then accelerated, reaching a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and the glider lifted its nose lightly, raising its nose gracefully, and gliding on the ground half the distance they expected. The powered glider lifts off and flies up and down the surface of the sea before returning to land. It worked! The flight attitude of the powered glider in the air is impeccable. Major Jack himself stood in front of the camera. Take precious flight photos.

The soldiers around cheered, and Lori's heart was put down. Stretch out your arms and wave to Orwell in the air. Everyone was elated, but Wright was unusually calm, he knew in his heart that landing was the most dangerous, and if the power glider could land smoothly, it would be a great success. 12 minutes later, Orwell piloted the glider and began to land, only to see the power glider lower the altitude to aim at the runway, the landing attitude was very stable and did not deviate from the runway, Wright's hanging heart was put down.

The powered glider touched the ground and jumped a few times in a row, and Lori opened her mouth wide in fright. But there was no danger, and the power glider stopped smoothly on the runway. At this moment, Wright became excited, and everyone quickly ran towards the glider, Orwell jumped from the cockpit and hugged Wright head-on, and Lori also ran over to hug the two brothers together. "Wright, we made it!" Orwell shouted.

"Orwell, we succeeded, the next step is to build a biplane, and we brothers will fly together!" Wright also shouted loudly. "I'm going to fly with you too!" Lori also shouted loudly! Then the soldiers who received the ordnance came forward to congratulate them. Major Jack stood thoughtfully in front of the camera, as if he was brewing something. On that day, Major Jack sent his idea of the plane, along with the photographs taken, to the U.S. military headquarters in Washington.

A few days later, in Washington, D.C., the commander of the coalition forces, Ingmary, hurriedly entered the president's office, "Marshal Ingmary, are you in a hurry to see me for something?" Cleveland asked, "Your Excellency, is there an important situation to report to you?" "What's important?" "You take a look at this first!" Ingmari handed the photo to Cleveland. Cleveland looked at the photo and said, "Isn't this a glider?" There are many gliding enthusiasts who dream of flying, what's so strange about this? ”

"Your Excellency, this is not an ordinary glider, but a powered glider. The Wright brothers, a corporal of the 32nd Infantry Division Ordnance Institute of the US Army in New York, successfully took off from the runway with a modified car engine on a taxi, and successfully landed on the runway after 12 minutes in the air. Major Jack, director of the Ordnance Institute, believed that the success of the flight was of immeasurable significance in the military field, so he submitted photos and materials of the successful flight of the powered glider to the military department. ”

Ingmari continued: "Major Jack's suggestion, after analysis by the General Staff Headquarters, believes that the power glider can fly into the sky and land freely under human control, which means that we can make a large number of fighters and strike the enemy in the air, and the combat mode will be more effective in the future." At present, I have ordered that the news of the successful flight of the powered glider should not be leaked and should be classified as a special secret. ”

Cleveland realized: "You mean that when the two armies face each other, they can use fighter planes to fly over the enemy to carry out strikes?" "That is what I mean, and at this moment I have ordered Major Jack, the entire crew of the 32nd Infantry Division's Ordnance Division, including the successfully flown powered glider, to the Detroit Logistics Base. I'm here to invite the president to Detroit to see the show, and if possible, I hope the president will approve the plan to develop a fighter plane. ”

In a church in Detroit, Orwell and Lori held a small-scale wedding in the blessing of everyone. With the pastor's prayer, Orwell hugged the bride and left with a happy smile on his face to enjoy their two-person world. Two days later, Orwell, the groom, was to do an air show for the president and the generals of the military department, and the Wright brothers became treasures. With only two days to go into the next century, Cleveland, the president of a base in Detroit, secretly came here to observe.

Surrounded by a snow-capped Silver Realm, the snow on the runway has been cleared. It used to be a motor vehicle testing ground, so the long cement pavement created excellent conditions for flying. Flying has never been so much noticed, and what an honor it was for the Wright brothers to come and see it in person, especially since their invention was able to create an air strike weapon for the American Empire.

The show was a great success, this time with a delay of 15 minutes in the air. President Cleveland was overjoyed, personally summoned the Wright brothers, and gave them a heavy reward in the name of the federal government, while encouraging them to continue their efforts. On the same day, President Cleveland rushed back to Washington, and after New Year's Day, Cleveland convened a meeting with the military department and relevant scientists and engineers to discuss the feasibility of warplanes in the military field.

At the presidential palace that day, Cleveland said to everyone involved: "The Wright brothers have skyrocketed, marking the beginning of an epoch-making era. Especially with the advent of warplanes in the military field, Bi will change the mode of warfare, and God is with us. I ask you not to oppose but to participate. We must mobilize the strength of all quarters to participate in the development of the air strike force, and if our air combat strength is formed, we will be more confident in defeating the powerful Chinese Empire. ”

In the face of the threat from the Chinese Empire, no one opposed the development of fighter planes, and soon the US Congress allocated funds to mobilize elite soldiers from all sides to devote themselves to the development of fighter planes. There is no problem with the strength of the United States' scientific and technological strength, and a large amount of funds and personnel have been invested in the research and development of fighter planes, which has greatly accelerated the development of fighter planes. Two months later. A biplane, piloted by the Wright brothers, successfully took to the skies. Subsequently, Cleveland ordered the formation of a flight school to recruit pilots.

If the Americans want to quickly build up their air strike power, it will take at least two years, but the Chinese Empire will not give him two years. In addition, it will take at least five years for the Americans to build an aircraft carrier fleet, and so far, Americans' understanding of air strikes is still at the stage of land warfare.

As a secret weapon, the Americans had to strike hard at the enemy on the battlefield in order to achieve the goal of taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared. At the same time, the U.S. military department began purposefully building airfields along the western coastline in preparation for the stationing of fighter jets in the future.
