Chapter 445: News from the Far East

As for investing in airships, Carlo certainly has his own plans.

To be reasonable, in the first decade of the twentieth century, the role of airships was more optimistic, because of its load and navigation, whether in the military field or in the civilian field, airships have an unrivaled advantage of early aircraft.

Of course, for Carlo, there are many benefits to having Zeppelin show the whole world earlier. Airships can be used as a means of transportation, and although they are expensive, they can allow countries to compete for research. After all, an airship is a behemoth in the air, and anyone who sees it is under tremendous pressure.

And Italy's research on airships is actually very convenient.

First of all, in terms of power, the Milan Power Laboratory in Italy can be said to be the world's best internal combustion engine research institution. With more than ten years of investment, in the current field of internal combustion engines, it can be said that the Milan laboratory is the leading one, and the power problem of the Zeppelin has been solved.

In addition, in terms of helium collection, with the advantages of Libyan oil and natural gas, the collection of helium is not too simple for Italy. Of course, the price is certainly not as cheap as hydrogen.

And when Italy has more than a dozen airships, it will take them for a walk every day, and in addition, it can also develop a special airship that can carry out intercontinental voyages, and I don't believe that other countries will not go to it.

As long as other countries compete with us to develop airships, then the high cost of building airships is enough for them to know what it means to have a pain.

Of course, this is only one of Carlo's plans, and it requires the cooperation of Zeppelin's excellent talent. But I believe that there is no big problem, who can refuse their invention to cause a sensation in the world, fame and fortune, no one will not want.

Of course, there is no urgency in this matter, and the old man Zeppelin needs to continue to work hard.

For Carlo now, there are other situations for him to worry about, such as protests from the British Empire. They protested against the Italian sale of Maxim heavy machine guns to the Boers.

True, armed with a large number of heavy machine guns, the attacks of the Boers on the troops of the British Empire became even more deadly. Now the Boers prefer to use a small force of more than ten people, with a Maxim and bullets, to ambush in front of the British army, and suddenly shoot two or three bullet chains, ride on horses and run with weapons, completely without giving the British a chance to counterattack.

Moreover, the Boers were basically herded and had more horses, basically two or three horses per person, and the British army could not catch up at all. And the Boers' method of warfare using heavy machine guns was a great headache for the British Empire. When the Nabulians had no choice, the Beretta Arms Company, which produced heavy machine guns, became a place for the British to vent their evil fire.

The British Ambassador, Mr. Mandison, has protested several times to the Italian government against the sale of the inhumane weapon of the Maxim heavy machine gun by the Beretta Arms Company to the Boer rebels.

Of course, protests alone were not enough, and the British Empire procured 1,000 Maxim machine guns in one go, so that Beretta Arms Company would not be able to sell this inhumane weapon to the Boers.

Of course, where these purchased machine guns will be placed is a topic of opinion, at least many war correspondents have found this inhumane weapon in various British strongholds in South Africa.
