Chapter 213: Prince Eat's Sugar-Coated Cannonball
Prince Charles corresponded with Zhu Jingyuan many times, and even mailed handwritten letters several times and exchanged photos.
Theoretically, all the new costumes designed by Zhu Jingyuan, after Chu Yuqiang made them, would first give a set to Prince Charles.
And this outfit will be unique, and it will be slightly different from the subsequent bulk sales.
Let the prince of Charles always be at the forefront of Paris, France and the Tessie market.
At the same time, he is also the spokesperson of Zhu Jingyuan's Ming-style formal wear in Taixi.
Prince Shire's endorsement fee is the clothes themselves and honor.
Because there is no money involved, Prince Charles believes that the friendship between the two is "pure".
Prince Charles has regarded Zhu Jingyuan as his "best friend in life".
Chu Yuqiang was Zhu Jingyuan's personal representative in Paris, and often came to send new clothes to Prince Charles.
Xia Er specially instructed the servants that as long as Chu Yuqiang came over, they would directly invite them to the reception room, and then come to inform themselves.
Today is no exception, Prince Charles heard the servant's report and learned that Chu Yuqiang had brought someone else, who was also Zhu Jingyuan's representative, and had also sent him a new gift, so he immediately rushed to the reception room very curiously.
Prince Charles wore a long-sleeved sailor suit today, and shorts and high heels on the bottom.
The figure is thinner than before, because I believe Zhu Jingyuan's words, and I am trying to lose weight.
Chu Yuqiang didn't feel good or bad, he just greeted with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and His Royal Highness the Prince has cleared it again."
When Prince Charles heard this, he was very happy, and said that it was best to say that he had lost weight, so he nodded and said:
"I'm getting thinner and healthier, I'm about to drop to 55 kilograms now, and I feel more flexible and lighter.
"I feel like I'm wearing this kind of clothes now, and my best friend's advice is really the best.
"By the way, this is the shopkeeper, right?
"Is this airline of my best friend an airship?"
A man of fifty-five kilograms, one hundred and ten kilograms, can really be regarded as very thin.
Guan Zhengping muttered in his heart, his own prince is really good at fooling people, and the crown prince of Xiyi is fooled and lame.
However, he was still very calm on the surface, smiled and nodded in admiration:
"His Royal Highness should be the most elegant nobleman in the Taixi Continent.
"His Royal Highness Prince Daishoku's airline is not an airship, but a flying machine.
"His Royal Highness Prince Daishoku has made a real flying machine.
"Now I am applying for a patent as a representative, and I have already filed an application at the patent office of the French city hall.
"Now, according to His Royal Highness's wishes, I will give the first full-fledged flying machine in the Tessie Continent to His Highness."
Prince Charles was intrigued when he heard about the flying machine, and excited when he heard that he was going to get Tessie's first plane.
Although I have a lot of firsts, the more times I feel, the less I feel.
And the plane is unprecedented and the most fascinating flight.
Prince Charles immediately asked urgently:
"A full-fledged flying machine? Tessie's first flying machine? His Royal Highness Prince Daishoku wants to give it to me?" ….
Guan Zhengping still kept smiling:
"Yes, that's what His Royal Highness Prince Daishoku meant, we've already brought the flying machine, just outside.
"We can show His Highness how to fly right in front of Versailles......
Prince Charles was almost jumping:
"Okay, great, His Royal Highness Prince Daishoku is my dear friend in life, it's my pleasure, let's go see it now."
Prince Charles took a trench coat and put it on the outside, and followed Guan Zhengping to the outside of the palace with a few servants.
Looking at the empty square around him, Prince Charles asked Chu Yuqiang and Guan Zhengping with some doubts:
"Two shopkeepers......
Guan Zhengping didn't wait for Prince Charles to ask, so he immediately smiled and comforted:
"Your Highness, don't worry, the plane will come soon, and it will fly directly.
"I'll put a flare now, and it will come and land in front of you."
Prince Charles was stunned, and then a little surprised:
"There's no shadow around at all, and it can fly right over? How far can it fly?"
Guan Zhengping smiled and said:
"At least more than 200 kilometers, at least you can go around Paris, and it is no problem to run ten round trips from Versailles to Paris."
Prince Charles was stunned, and always felt that something was not right:
"Cars may not be able to travel that far in one go......
Under Prince Charr's dull gaze, Guan Zhengping released a red flare.
After Guan Zhengping's plane left the Paris City Hall, it returned to the Xichang Manor in the suburbs to overhaul and replenish fuel.
Then agreed on a time, and when Chu Yuqiang and Guan Zhengping arrived at the Palace of Versailles, they also flew to the periphery of the Palace of Versailles and circled.
After seeing the flare, it turned into the grounds of the Palace of Versailles.
The surrounding guards received the notice from Prince Charr, and just watched with shocked eyes, not frightened enough to shoot casually into the sky.
The plane came all the way to the front of the palace and landed on the square of the money of the Palace of Versailles.
After landing, he continued to slide and stopped in front of Chu Yuqiang, Guan Zhengping, and Prince Charr.
In an era before airplanes, an airplane fell from the sky and came to itself.
And it was still a gift from someone else, this picture and its potential meaning made Prince Charles speechless with excitement.
It took a long time for Prince Charles to recover from the shock:
"My God, my dear friend's flying machine can be so nimble that it seems simpler than a car."
Guan Zhengping explained next to him:
"The simplest structure of a flying machine is indeed simpler than a car.
"Because the aircraft does not need a transmission structure, the engine is directly connected to the propeller.
"There is no need for a gearbox or a drive shaft, the wheels are directly unpowered, just for support and sliding.
"All that's left is two wings, a pair of rudders, and one more seat, it's as simple as that."
Prince Charles ran briskly to the plane, looked at its wings and frame, and then asked with curiosity and surprise:
"Such a simple structure can fly, why can't the previous people make it?"
Guan Zhengping smiled and said:
"Because the previous engines weren't powerful enough, the plane you see, the engine that looks very unremarkable, has a maximum power of sixty-four horsepower." ….
Prince Charles took a breath directly:
"Hey, it's so small, it has sixty-four horsepower, Da Ming's technology is really too powerful!"
Guan Zhengping continued to smile and said:
"This plane is a gift for you, do you need to fly it again?"
Prince Charles immediately said:
"Yes, I'd like to see how he took off."
Guan Zhengping instructed his subordinates to bring gasoline from the car he was riding in to refuel the plane.
After checking the status of the aircraft again, the test pilot was changed and took off again.
Prince Charles watched the plane rise in front of him, turned to Guan Zhengping and Chu Yuqiang, and said very excitedly:
"I need someone to teach me how to fly an airplane, I want to fly it in the sky......
Guan Zhengping said very cautiously:
"I can arrange for someone to teach your servants or soldiers how to fly airplanes, but I don't recommend that you fly them yourself.
[Recommended,@
His Royal Highness has always insisted on this.
"So, although Prince Oshi invented the airplane himself, he has never flown an airplane himself.
"Because airplanes are completely different from cars, after a car breakdown, at most it can't run, at most it catches fire, and people can jump off it directly, and at most they fall and get injured.
"But if the plane breaks down at an altitude of several tens of meters, people may fall to their deaths......
"And today's airplanes are so rudimentary that they can easily be affected by the wind in space.
"Even if there is no malfunction, a whirlwind suddenly appears, and the plane can crash directly.
"You are the prince of the Kingdom of France, and you cannot put yourself in danger."
Prince Charles was immediately entangled:
"Has His Royal Highness Prince Dai-shi never flown an airplane himself?"
Guan Zhengping nodded as a matter of course:
"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Oshiki definitely doesn't want you to take a plane rashly."
Prince Charles hesitated for a few seconds, and finally sighed softly:
"Then I'll follow my best friend's advice......
Guan Zhengping's plane circled over the Palace of Versailles and made some more "exciting" movements.
For example, draw a figure 8, such as sticking to the ground through the field, such as quickly pulling up and diving.
Although compared to the air performances of later generations, these movements are like those made by an old lady.
But at this time, it seems to people to be very exciting.
It was something that balloons and airships could not even think of, and humans were finally able to fly freely.
The flying display also caught the attention of those around it.
King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, who also received reports and notices from their servants one after another, could not help but take them to the front of the square.
Prince Charles introduced them, and Chu Yuqiang and Guan Zhengping stepped forward to salute, and then explained the cause and effect.
As a result, Louis XVI and the queen reacted similarly to the original Prince Charles.
I couldn't help but say that I wanted to fly too.
Flying, flying freely, this is the instinctive fantasy of the vast majority of human beings. ….
Chu Yuqiang, together with Prince Shire, dissuaded his parents from learning to fly.
The Duke of Richelieu and Talleyrand arrived at Versailles in a carriage.
Riding the carriage close to the palace and seeing the plane in the sky from a distance, both of them were directly stunned.
The Duke of Richelieu was stunned for a long time before he said with an incredulous face:
"How is this plane in Versailles?"
Talleyrand had already thought of why:
"This ...... It is likely to be a gift to His Highness Charles, a friend of His Highness Charles, and a gift to His Royal Highness Prince Daishi......
The Duke of Richelieu grabbed the door of the car with some anger and said:
"We can't go on like this, we have to unravel the conspiracy of the Ming people, that Great Food Prince is not a close friend of His Royal Highness Charles at all.
"He's just using his false friendship to exploit the reputation of His Highness Charles for his own benefit and that of the Ming."
Talleyrand pouted and said:
"But the gifts from His Royal Highness Prince Daishoku are genuine.
"Now this plane should be the first full-fledged aircraft in France or even in Tessie.
"No one can refuse this honor, especially the traditional aristocracy.
"If His Royal Highness Prince Daishoku gives it to you, can the Duke decisively refuse?"
The Duke of Richelieu opened his mouth and hesitated for a few seconds before he said solemnly:
"We can see through his sinister intentions, through sugar-coated cannonballs, without being seduced by its delicate appearance.
"His Highness Charles is completely blinded by him, like a woman who has been coaxed by all kinds of small gifts and sweet words."
Talleyrand immediately instructed:
"Yes, that's it, so our persuasion has to pay attention to methods.
"We need to go to the king first
Your Majesty, and then let His Majesty the King decide."
The carriages of the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary were unhindered and ran all the way to the stables in the palace.
Talleyrand and the Duke of Richelieu got out of the car and told the receiving servants that they wanted to see His Majesty.
As a result, it was told that His Majesty and Queen were now in the square in front of the palace.
I was watching the air show with His Royal Highness Charles, Shopkeeper Guan, and Shopkeeper Chu.
After hearing this, the Duke of Richelieu suddenly covered his forehead weakly:
"My God......
After sighing, Talleyrand said thoughtfully:
"That's fine, everyone is on the scene, and you can just spread out the ......."
