What did Chapter 1151 overlook?
As early as 1907, the Ocean Empire had secretly opened the air postal service, using the first generation of "courier" transport aircraft, with a speed of 221 kilometers per hour, which could carry five passengers or 750 pounds of letters, and had a range of 850 kilometers.
By the end of World War I
The second-generation Courier transport aircraft produced by the Ocean Empire Alliance Aircraft Company was put into operation, and the improved Courier 2 transport aircraft, with a cruising speed of 310 kilometers per hour, was able to fly 1,350 kilometers with 12 passengers, which is of milestone significance.
It is of great significance that this transport aircraft can connect North America and Australia through the island airports of the Northern Route and realize the air passenger transportation between North America and Australia.
In addition, Imperial Airlines has opened routes to Europe and East Africa, which greatly shortens the time for interstate travel and facilitates bilateral travel.
Taking off from Chang'an Airport, the capital of the empire, the Messenger 2 transport plane headed north to stop at the Red River Valley International Airport, Cairns crossed the Strait to Tianshu Airport, from where it turned west to reach Jayapura, the capital of Western Xiangzhou, and continued west to Samarinda Airport in Borneo, and then west to Palembang Airport and Aceh Airport in Sumatra.
After seven connections and two days of flights, the Messenger 2 transport aircraft made a layover at an airport in the Indian Ocean archipelago and could reach Cochin, India, northwest and finally Europe, realizing the dream of interstate flight.
The journey takes 7 days and 7 nights and involves 19 airport transfers, but it is already the fastest way to travel for the world's longer cruise lines.
There is a strong demand for transport aircraft with a longer range and more passengers, and the empire's strongest alliance aircraft companies, Seven Star Aircraft Company and Queensland Aircraft Company, have invested heavily in the development of world-leading air transport aircraft.
For the development of the aviation industry, the government and the royal scientific research fund have given key support in terms of policies and capital taxes, creating a good situation of the industry's increasing prosperity.
September 24
The twin-turboprop "Seven Star 100" transport aircraft developed by Seven Star Aircraft Company was put into the route, which can carry 15 passengers and has a range of up to 1,800 kilometers, which means that only fewer takeoffs and landings are needed to achieve transcontinental flights across the Eurasian continent, which caused a huge sensation in the industry for a while.
In February 25, Queensland Aircraft Corporation launched the biplane twin-turboprop "Queensland" 01 transport aircraft, which can carry 16 passengers and further extend the range to 2,300 kilometers.
Not to be outdone, the veteran aircraft manufacturing company Alliance Aircraft has been immersed in research and development for eight years, and launched a new generation of Messenger 3 monoplane twin-engine transport aircraft in July 26, through high-horsepower turboprop star engines, to achieve a new achievement of carrying 21 passengers and a range of up to 2660 kilometers.
When the news broke, the world was in an uproar.
Orders from countries around the world and the empire came like snowflakes, and in just a month and a half, the Soyuz Aircraft Manufacturing Company received orders for 320 aircraft.
The empire alone accounted for 205 orders, almost two-thirds of the total order.
Le Monde reports on this;
The new Courier 3 large-range transport aircraft developed by the Alliance Aircraft Company, its technical level is at the top of the world, is a real transcontinental transport aircraft, taking advantage of the fact that he can fly directly from the imperial capital Chang'an to the west to Pas, through the Aceh airport, and directly reach Cochin in the Indian subcontinent in one day, shortening the time of the entire interstate travel by half, and the original 7-day and 7-night journey only takes three days to arrive.
This is an unprecedented achievement for mankind in the aviation industry, and it is of great significance to bring the empire's overseas states together and enable a seamless movement of people and goods.
With its superior performance and long range, the Courier 3 transport aircraft has established a leading position in the aviation industry of the empire and the world, and will surely give birth to a booming air travel industry and inject new vitality into the economy.
In terms of market reaction
"Seven Star 100" transport aircraft, "Queensland" 01 transport aircraft, messenger 3 transport aircraft and other new era transport aircraft have been put into the route, structure, performance and comfort compared with the early aircraft has been qualitatively improved, giving birth to a vigorous aviation industry, airlines everywhere, new transport aircraft have also received a large number of orders, to promote the further development of the aviation industry.
Due to its early start, high technical level and complete industrial facilities, especially the unique aero engine industry, the aviation industry of Ocean Empire has taken the first place, and its development is getting better and more prosperous.
When the aviation industry of the Ocean Empire took off, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, the United States, Japan and other major powers of the world were at war, and after the war, the aviation industry of the Ocean Empire took off for the second time.
Today
The emergence of a small flourishing pattern in the aviation field has greatly squeezed the space for the development of the aviation industry in Europe and North America, and the Ocean Empire has adopted strict technical export restriction measures, resulting in the failure of the aviation industry in Europe to develop, and the same is true in North America.
The international market is so big that it can't accommodate too many aviation companies.
The aviation industry is a typical cutting-edge industry with high technology, high risk, high investment and high returns, and the prosperous economic level of the ocean empire, the vast market, and the world's leading industrial science and technology level have naturally incubated advanced aviation enterprises.
The competition of the aviation industry in the world today is nothing more than the involution of aviation enterprises within the empire, under several major aircraft manufacturing companies, there are several small and medium-sized aircraft manufacturing enterprises to participate in the competition, and the market development is extremely prosperous, which greatly promotes the progress of the aviation industry.
The vast territory of the Ocean Empire spread across six continents, and the high standard of living generated a strong demand for the air passenger industry, forming a vast domestic market.
With the power of one country, it almost occupies more than 60% of the world's shipping industry, which also leads to the emergence of airlines with considerable strength to feed the development of the aviation industry.
For example, imperial citizens, soldiers, or officials located in the southernmost strait state of North America used to need to take a transcontinental cruise ship to return to the empire, and it took more than ten days to arrive.
Nowadays, as long as you rush to the airport in the morning, you can reach the mainland of the empire at noon on the second day, which is very convenient and fast.
The aviation industry has a natural advantage between the overseas states of the empire, between the overseas states and the mainland, between the Pacific Ocean or the Indian Ocean, and the short distance between the South China Sea or the Sulu Sea, which leads to a vast market for high-end passenger travel.
Don't say anything else
During the grand "50th anniversary celebration of Advent Day" held by the Empire, many royal families and nobles from Europe, and people from high society experienced first-hand the taste of interstate air travel.
In these special planes chartered by European royal families and nobles, for the first time, there is such a role as a female flight attendant, providing thoughtful service for the distinguished guests who travel on the plane, and some female flight attendants are directly royal maids, bringing a different experience during the long flight.
In the face of the development of the aviation industry in the ocean empire in full swing, the British "Times" sour report;
"According to the judgment of senior observers in the industry, the development of the world's aviation industry is in the ascendant, and in the next ten years, the demand for 20~30 aircraft will be about 5~60,000, worth more than 40 billion pounds.
With such a huge market, the traditional European industrial powers can only watch the ocean empire monopolize it, and are unable to participate in the competition, which is not the sadness of the decline of European industry?
McGett Weinstein, a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, has studied the development of the aviation industry in the Ocean Empire, from the initial secret research and development at the end of the last century, after more than 40 years, has formed a complete set of aviation industry system.
The efforts of the Ocean Empire have now borne fruit.
Whether in the field of military aviation or civil aviation, its technological level is at least 20 years ahead of Europe, leaving its European partners far behind.
While Europeans were using steel tubes and cloth to build their aircraft, it is a shameful reality that the Ocean Empire Aviation Company has fully switched to aluminum alloy skins and lightweight cabin components.
This is reminiscent of the early and mid-19th century, when white immigrants from Europe used muskets against the spears and arrows of the Indians.
It's just that the two sides exchanged weapons, and the white Europeans lagged behind......"
reported by the local "Liverpool Morning News" in the UK;
"In the face of the unimpeded impact of the industrial products of the Ocean Empire on the European market, there are many well-known brand-name products in the car, bicycle, household appliances, tobacco, wool clothing and underwear and even the canned food industry, which make Europeans rush to it.
Industry insiders are deeply concerned about this and point out;
Although Great Britain has the world's most extensive colonies, its industry is seriously unbalanced, mainly low-end agricultural products and raw materials, but it is unable to produce sufficiently excellent industrial products, which undoubtedly endangers national security.
unimaginable
Wealthy citizens of the British Empire go out every morning in imported woolen suits and soft woolen scarves, open a Volkswagen car with a key, and go to work at the Royal Bank of Queensland.
It's time for afternoon tea
Gentlemen enjoyed Borneo coffee with two pieces of local sugar and, while having a good chat, shared Kingston cigarettes, which were made in Manila.
After the end of the world war
Whether the British, the French or the Italians, flocked to Germany to dismantle factory equipment, bring back large quantities of coal and steel, and even some weapons and equipment that could no longer be used, their ultimate fate was to go to the steelmaking furnaces.
The Ocean Empire, on the other hand, did a very different thing, taking away professors and families from German universities, and developing the world's leading chemical industry, mechanical equipment, optics and instrumentation industries.
And the soldiers strolled the streets of Berlin in pairs with their Germanic girlfriends in their arms, and did not forget to take them with them when they retreated.

What do we seem to be overlooking? So what exactly is being overlooked......"
