Chapter 109: The British Flying Machine
In fact, Zhu Jingyuan has many detailed ideas about the rules of this "League of Nations."
For example, those introduced by Shen Fu, the Ming Dynasty's judgment of the status of each country can be directly clarified into regulations.
The countries of Taixi are graded according to their strength, and the classification is made public and clear......
But many things are too much, and when provoking, you can't reach the limit at one time, and you have to take your time every once in a while.
And it can't be too obvious, and the atmosphere of the scene is not suitable now.
So after talking about the initial idea of the League of Nations, Zhu Jingyuan directly announced loudly:
"Okay, that's all I have to say for the time being, let's start the banquet officially, then the music, and then the dance......"
Zhu Jingyuan gave an order, and the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra that had stopped sounded again.
A group of orchid dancers from the Tianzhu and Dashi areas entered the arena and began to dance, and the hall immediately became lively.
Zhu Jingyuan sat down in his place, ate a little, and browsed the surrounding situation.
The place where I am located is the most central hall area, and the representatives around me are all of the highest status.
The front row of these people is basically the people who had the meeting yesterday, and behind them are the other representatives.
When a song ended, someone came out to toast, but Zhu Jingyuan still replaced the wine with tea.
After three rounds of singing and dancing, Zhu Jingyuan ate almost, thought about it, and began to go down for a walk.
According to the rules left by the Renwu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty organized this kind of informal banquet, and at the beginning of the fourth round of singing and dancing, you could move around.
You can continue to chat privately with people you know or with people you want to communicate with.
Most people don't care about what they do, because the scene is noisy, and they can't hear it if they want to.
You can only guess.
There's room for use.
Zhu Jingyuan, the host of the banquet, is the focus of attention wherever he goes.
In addition to Zhu Jianfeng, an elder, Zhu Jingyuan went to chat with whoever he went to chat with first, it was definitely the other party's honor.
It was an honor for the representatives of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the representatives of Tessie's side.
Prince Daming, it's good not to dislike you, and I still chat with you, so I have to be grateful.
Therefore, after Zhu Jingyuan started his activities, he walked to the side of British Prime Minister William Pitt under the gaze of all the delegates.
Someone must have taken pictures, and his ninth uncle must have arranged it.
The servants who were waiting beside Zhu Jingyuan put a chair next to Pete's table at the right time.
Pete watched Zhu Jingyuan come to his side, very surprised and puzzled, and at the same time very excited.
immediately stood up and saluted Zhu Jingyuan respectfully:
"See His Royal Highness the Great Food King."
"Don't be polite."
Under the amazed eyes of Pete and the deputies, Zhu Jingyuan sat directly next to Pete.
Then there was a very dense sound, with several flashes from the early cameras sounding in quick succession, but they didn't attract anyone's attention.
This is the case where there is no photo is abnormal.
Zhu Jingyuan didn't care much about other people, and chatted directly with Pete very warmly:
"Prime Minister Pitt, I would like to ask you a little bit about UK patent law, and some things about technological developments."
Pete was so puzzled by this question that he discussed patent law with himself during the peace talks of the World War.
However, Zhu Jingyuan's status is noble, in this world, except for the Ming Emperor and other elders, outsiders have to be polite.
Pete sat back unusually carefully, keeping a little distance from Zhu Jingyuan.
Of course, this is not to dislike Zhu Jingyuan, but to worry that he will sweat when he is nervous and ooze the smell to be disliked by Zhu Jingyuan.
Then carefully consider the language in response:
"Your Highness, I'm not particularly proficient in English patent law, I don't know if you want to know anything......"
Zhu Jingyuan was originally chatting with Pete, causing others to think that he attached great importance to Pete, and even had a special relationship.
The best result is to make Ying
The king became suspicious and deposed Pete, a famous minister in history.
Asking about patents and aircraft in the UK can be regarded as a slightly valuable topic to find by the way:
"Does patent application and approval in the UK adopt the first-to-invent principle or the first-to-file principle?
In other words, to apply for a patent, it is necessary to make a physical object and demonstrate it to the patent examination and approval authority for inspection.
"Or is it enough to just provide explanatory documents, and the ideas and ideas are logical?"
Pete was a little curious about the idea of inventing or filing first, but instinctively answered the question first:
"Our patent applications in the UK need to be made physically, otherwise there will definitely be a lot of junk patent applications.
"At the same time, it is difficult to judge the novelty, and engineers before the industrial age also designed many things, but most of them could not be realized.
"Inventors who now have the ability to realize their ideas should have the opportunity to obtain corresponding patents, which requires physical standards."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly, this is basically the same logic as Da Ming, so he continued to ask for key information:
"Does Prime Minister Pitt know that you have patents in the UK for flying machines? I'm interested in this stuff. ”
Pete happened to know about this, and immediately there was an obvious hesitation, and he considered the appropriate language to respond:
"We have received relevant patent applications, and Daming must have received them as well, and now there are many craftsmen who study flying machines.
"But there is still no mature and effective design that can be approved, so this patent has not been approved."
This is very ambiguous, but it also reveals some information.
Some people are working on airplanes, and they have already tried to apply for a patent, but they have not yet been approved.
Because the other party's aircraft still does not meet the standards of the British Patent Office.
On the other hand, it is likely that it has already flown up, but it may have flown for a short time, or at a low altitude, or depending on the wind.
There is still a long way to go before success, but it shouldn't be too far off.
Pete shouldn't be specifically deceiving himself.
Because he can let the diplomats of Daming in the UK go to the British patent office to inquire directly.
You can also go directly to the UK market and the media to gather information.
Zhu Jingyuan has indeed done this.
When he was in Daming, he notified the people of Xichang and Honglu Temple, and asked them to investigate the research and development of civilian aircraft in various countries in Taixi.
Zhu Jingyuan plans to take his earliest aircraft and go to other countries to apply for aircraft-related patents.
However, instead of applying directly, you have to do your research first.
If the other party's country really doesn't have any relevant research, I really won't apply for it right away.
It is best if the private research in the other party's country is about to succeed, and then use the identity advantage to take the high-level route and directly grab the patent.
casually asked about the airplane, and Zhu Jingyuan then asked about the airship, and then asked about the car and the warship.
Of course, Pete can't say everything, a lot of it is model, or even nonsense.
Zhu Jingyuan always listened very carefully, and often nodded thoughtfully, and cooperated to continue to ask.
This made Pete very confused: Is this just to show that he values me?
In the midst of such confusion, Zhu Jingyuan felt that the photos should have been taken enough, and finally said goodbye to Pete.
After Zhu Jingyuan got up, he didn't go to have a "private chat" with anyone, and turned around and returned to the apse directly, leaving the scene full of surprise.
Many people originally thought that Zhu Jingyuan would have a polite chat with the representatives of each country.
As a result, he just finished talking to Pete and left directly.
Although Pete is the leader of the Tessie delegation, this level of attention has also been raised, and the difference between others is too obvious.
Many full-time clerical staff, as well as full-time on-site reporters, feel that they have something to write again.
Zhu Jingyuan himself, in fact, was originally going to meet the people from Prussia and Austria, but after thinking about it, he still didn't go.
You are
Who? Who qualifies me to take the initiative to talk to you?
For Napoleon and Monroe, although there is an active cost, it is more of a chance encounter than a special one to find each other.
Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan asked Shen Fu to arrange the following ordinary Honglu Temple personnel to do the liaison task between the two countries.
Zhu Jingyuan returned to the apse and took a nap, and when he woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, but the banquet still did not end.
Zhu Jingyuan felt that the exchange should be almost over, so he ordered his entourage to invite Shen Fu and his two staff.
Zhu Jingyuan went to wash his face, tidied up his clothes, and came to the small living room in the apse.
Shen Fu and the two staff members quickly rushed over, and Zhu Jingyuan asked them to sit down and ask about the situation directly.
Shen Fu smiled and reported:
"The reaction from the Prussian side was more positive, and they wanted us to be able to provide technology, mainly in the equipment of the army and navy.
"They hinted that they could help us contain the British, and if we could, the Lucia.
"But additionally, support them in defeating Austria and completely unifying Germany.
"The Austrian side is more vigilant, always worried that our fleet in the Great Qin Sea can threaten their access to the sea and the mainland.
However, Zaichen explained that there was no contradiction between our two sides, and now this war is completely the result of the instigation of the British.
After such a little persuasion, the other party finally put on a posture of willingness to try to cooperate.
"They also want us to be able to give technology to the navy and army.
"They can help contain the Ottomans and Lucians, but they want us to support them in expanding their colonies in Africa."
After listening to this, Zhu Jingyuan thought about it for a while:
"The safest operation is to give technology to the Prussian Navy and technology to the Austrian Army.
"Prussia's army is already strong, and the impact of our technical support may not be controllable.
"When Austria gets the warship technology, it may not just escort their fleet, maybe it will hit our Great Qinhai Fleet.
"In this way, we can achieve our goal, Prussia to contain the British navy, Austria to contain the Ottoman army.
"But it is completely inconsistent with the other side's strategic goals, and the other side will not accept it.
"So the technology is still given, but the other party wants to open the market to Daming and protect our patents.
At the same time, Daming manufacturers are allowed to buy land within their tractors and invest in the construction of various factories.
"Finally, all support for the peace talks will not take effect until they are concluded.
"In the process of peace talks, the other side must maintain a relatively positive posture."
Shen Fu nodded lightly and said:
"That's basically what we think about."
