Seeing that a few people were attracted by his words, Zhang Kuian couldn't help but feel proud, the nature of the reader's showmanship came, and he specially cleared his throat, which made Wang Maoru laugh and said: "You'd better get a waking wood and a blanket, it's more like a storyteller." Everyone laughed, and Tang Shaoyi, chief of staff of the Presidential Office, said: "Say it quickly, don't hang your appetite." ”

Zhang Kuian grinned at this time, shook his head and said, "How can you treat Sven people like this." It made several people around laugh again, and Zhang Kuian said: "What is it to scold the street by order?" The emperor sent eunuchs to scold people. But this eunuch is not an ordinary person, in the Qing Dynasty, the eunuch who was ordered to scold the street was called Shen Yu Eunuch, and this official name was used to leave the palace, because the Qing Dynasty law stipulated that eunuchs were not allowed to leave the palace. Therefore, this eunuch is not something that ordinary people can deserve, and only the closest eunuchs around the emperor can serve it, and they must be sharp and eloquent, scolding people for ten hours in a row, and the words are not the same. After the emperor sent out the eunuch to the door of a certain erring official, the eunuch came on behalf of the emperor, so the official had to take a large family to the door and kneel to receive the order. Eunuch Shen scolded in front of dozens of people in the whole family, and countless people around him watched. Think about it, that official can be so thick-skinned and kneel on the ground in front of the people and listen to the eunuch scolding himself? Moreover, the eunuch is a bitter and mean person after the loss, and the scolding of people is much more difficult than that of ordinary people. So in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor didn't like anyone, and the official resigned after taking a eunuch. We can follow suit, if anyone keeps the airship and doesn't take it out, we will send a pen to scold him in the national newspapers, how ugly it sounds, how to scold, and he will die of shame and anger when he scolds, so that others can see the fate of unpatriotism. ”

Wang Maoru was in a cold sweat, and said in his heart Zhang Dingguo, why are you so damaged?

Li Ruyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Secretary General Zhang's trick is used, I'm afraid no one will dare to rebel anymore, right?" ”

Zhang Kuian said: "That's nature. What is the use of the pen? What is the use of the media? ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Okay, I'll leave it to you to handle everything." ”

In the following afternoon, Zhang Kuian, secretary general and spokesman of the Chinese Presidential Office, announced in the name of the Chinese president that the 10 airship transport divisions of the National Defense Force's road and aviation headquarters were in northeast China and central China, except for the four transport divisions in the Western Regions and Sichuan. Two hundred and sixty airships from six transport divisions in North, East, and South China formed a joint airship rescue column and immediately went to Weihai to participate in the rescue of the Chinese in Japan.

Zhang Kuian appealed: "There are quite a few private airships in my country, and I hope that now you can follow the military to Japan in danger and rescue Chinese compatriots." The country needs your support. Brothers and sisters need your support. He then announced that 87 airships belonging to various air transport companies and private individuals had been temporarily requisitioned to form a Chinese civilian rescue brigade to go to Japan to rescue the Chinese together with six airship divisions of the military.

At the same time, after hearing the news of the persecution of the Chinese in Japan, the people of the whole country immediately became excited, and the citizens of major cities raised banners and marched in protest. The State Council also immediately sent an urgent telegram to all local governments, urging them to organize the scale of the parade and the plan of the parade. In addition, prayer squares were set up in open spaces in various cities to pray for the blessings of the Chinese who were persecuted by the mob in Japan.

Due to Wang Maoru's emphasis on airship transportation, China at this stage has the world's largest airship production plant, that is, the Fourth Arsenal of the Wehrmacht, that is, the Saltu Arsenal. The Saltu Arsenal airship was already built on an assembly line scale, and the engines were localized - and despite occasional quality problems, the skills of the Chinese workers were gradually strengthened with the help of German engineers and mechanics. Engines of self-production can already be used in airships.

In fact, the most important reason why the production of airships is still retained in Saltu is because Wang Maoru emphasized that the engine must be autonomous, and the airship does not have high requirements for engine technology, so the airship manufacturing department can be retained.

The latest domestic Longxing 3 transport airship has an airbag length of 130 meters, an airship length of 18 meters, and a skeleton made of aluminum alloy steel. The commercial load can be 25 tons, and the distance can be transported up to 1,200 kilometers at one time after refueling, so it can be said that because of Wang Maoru's investment in airships, the scientific research and development of airships in China has achieved a technology that is 20 years ahead of the world. (Among them, German engineers and scientists were not allowed to produce airships because of the Treaty of Versailles.) So much so that a large number of scientists and engineers went to China to make a living. ）

After the production of 20 Longxing 3 transport airships, the budget of the Army Aviation Department has been stopped, because the Army Aviation Headquarters has invested all the funds in the manufacture and ordering of large aircraft, and as a result, the production line of the airship has to be stopped. But the person in charge of the airship immediately promoted the application of the airship to civilian use. The most important modification of military airships to civilian use is the comfort and thermal insulation performance of the transport cabin. The flight altitude of the Longxing 3 airship is 1500 meters, and the maximum altitude can be 3000 meters, but whether it is 1500 meters or 3000 meters, the temperature at high altitude will drop to about 15 degrees. The cargo compartment of the military airship has poor thermal insulation performance, and there is no window, and the cabin is pitch black, and the modification to civilian needs to be greatly changed.

But the airship manufacturing department was engaged in the renovation with great enthusiasm, and they wanted to show the headquarters what a stupid decision it was to abandon the development of the airship.

It took two weeks for the airship to be renovated, and 600 airship manufacturing workers completed the transformation of the military transport airship into a civilian passenger airship, and they sandwiched the cargo compartment, installed some insulation materials in the middle of the sandwich, and installed small oxygen cylinders to prevent the problem of insufficient oxygen in the sealed space. At the same time, in order to adapt to the market, two 25cm × 25cm triple glass are specially installed, so that the audience can wait for the opportunity to watch the scenery outside the window.

After Longxing 3 transported airships for civilian use, it first became a big toy for various local tyrants. Indeed, driving an airship is a very cool act compared to driving a car. Especially in northern China, after Wang Maoru's economic planner Fang Hongxin's economic stimulus plan, the economy of the north has developed and expanded like never before, and a large number of nouveau riche have appeared. This is also the biggest reason why the North and South chambers of commerce do not look at each other every year, and the contradiction between the nouveau riche and the accumulated wealth cannot be reconciled.

Whether it is a rich businessman in the south or a rich businessman in the north, the behavior of fighting for wealth between each other often appears, and in history the Chinese like to fight for wealth, but the military took the opportunity to let their behavior of fighting for wealth lead to the purchase of airships to show off. For example, Zhang Guanghe, a wealthy Mongolian businessman who made his fortune in Mongolia by finding coal near Kulen, bought three airships alone.

Zhang Guanghe paid 200,000 silver dollars for these three airships, and he named these three airships Guangzi, Zongzi, and Yaozi, which correspond to the first three words of his Zhang family's genealogy "Guangzong Yaozu", of course, in the fourth arsenal airship factory in Saltu is still producing his Zhang family's fourth airship "Zuzihao" airship. The reason why Zhang Guanghe shows off his wealth so much is that Zhang Guanghe was born in Hanhuazi, and after having money, he especially wants to be respected, and everyone seems to value his money very much to him, which also leads Zhang Guanghe to become more and more unbalanced and like to show off his wealth more and more.

There are not many experiences like Zhang Guanghe's, but the airship is indeed an extremely dazzling means of transportation, and in Beijing, private airships are gradually increasing. After Wang Maoru gave his sister-in-law Zhu Wu, Miss Zhu Meiyun, an airship, it attracted many nobles in the capital to follow suit, and even former President Cao Kun had an airship as a means of transportation at home.

After this wind blew, last year the Fourth Arsenal of Saltu produced sixteen civilian airships in October, twenty-eight in November, and fifty-six in December, earning the Fourth Arsenal a lot of money.

Of course, in addition to personal playthings, more than half of the airships are used as means of transportation, and this year, riding an airship is also a cool and luxurious behavior, when China's train penetration rate is not high, the airship has taken the lead in replacing the railway as a beautiful scenery in China's transportation department.

This time, all the private airships responded to the government's call to go to Japan to receive refugees, and they first concentrated in Weihai, and Li Ruyan, vice minister of the army and navigation, personally led the team, and after counting 87 civilian airships and 260 military airships, after screening and inspection, 29 airships that could not be transported for a long time were eliminated, and a total of 318 airships were collectively headed for Japan with naval rescue ships and civilian ships.

As for the number of rescued civilian ships concentrated in Weihai as high as 390, and in Shanghai there were even as many as 420 civilian ships that could cross the sea; after simple reinforcement and elimination, there were actually less than 200 civilian ships and transport ships that went to sea according to the standard, and the rest of the boatmen, despite their patriotism, had to return home because the fishing boats were dilapidated and could not go to sea. In the past few days, Fujian and Guangdong have been raining continuously, and fishing boats at sea have not been able to go north, and even most of the rescue boats are mainly ships of various transportation companies on the Yangtze River, mixed with fishing boats from Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces. Nearly 200 ships assembled in Weihai, and under the protection of the warships of the Coast Guard Headquarters, they chose to go to sea without hesitation and went to Japan to rescue their compatriots and Chinese.
