The sprint take-off and landing competition organized by Daming Air lasted for three days, and the top 10 and top 3 places were determined.

Some people are happy and some are regretful, but no one is too disappointed.

Originally, this kind of activity was their hobby.

Originally, I had to spend my own money to prepare, and I had to apply for a venue and airspace, and the rewards were all symbolic.

And this time it's semi-official, so you don't have to think about all the expenses and affairs, you just have to think about the competition.

As long as you participate, there is a subsidy, which is equivalent to a free visit to an aviation mecca like Daming Air.

In any case, it is worth the trip.

Winning the top 10 will have a better reward than the previous champions.

The top three are even more not.

Zhu Jingyuan personally met with the eventual victors and personally presented them with the trophy flags, certificate documents, and commemorative books.

The Ming Dynasty of this world was self-inflicted, so although it cannot be said that it was completely unaffected by the West, it was very little affected at most levels.

Only a very small number of things that interest the Ming people, and at the same time the Ming itself has no corresponding function at all, have gradually become popular with the continuous exchanges between the East and the West.

Most of the places where the Ming Dynasty already had traditional habits and plans, unless Emperor Shizu specifically promoted and modified them, most of them still stubbornly retained the original traditions.

For example, as a symbolic reward for the competition, Daming does not use Westerners' trophies.

The tradition left by many people drinking with a cup is not on the table in the eyes of the cultural people of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Shenzhou was in the Zhou Dynasty, as well as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were also records of using silver cups and silver bowls as color heads.

However, silver cups and silver bowls are usually the color heads of various informal games in private occasions.

The scope and scale of its use, especially in seriousness, cannot be compared with the official "championship".

Championships and flags are usually multi-person, large-scale outdoor events, including military events, and compete for symbols.

"Capture the Flag" has always been one of the most important honors in war.

The tradition of "winning the bid" in dragon boat racing has also existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

By the Tang Dynasty, the championship had become the absolute mainstream of the competition symbol, and the Song Dynasty began to become the official way of regulation.

Emperor Shizu did not adjust it, so the Ming Dynasty still maintains this habit.

The pennant itself is only a symbol of victory, and the actual rewards are written in the booklet.

Zhu Jingyuan gave awards to the third runner-up, runner-up, and champion in turn, and said a few words of encouragement to them in turn.

In this case, the content of the words is not important, everyone is very excited, and the ordinary scene is very powerful at this time.

The winner of this competition is Wu Zhiyuan, a young man from Shanghai who has just turned 20 this year.

Similar to the other contestants, those who often spend time outdoors have tanned faces and are quite sturdy in size.

Wu Zhiyuan took the championship pennant given by Zhu Jingyuan, and the whole person's spirit was extremely inspired.

While Zhu Jingyuan handed over the certificate again, he began to chat with him casually:

"The craft of playing with airplanes is really good, haven't you considered joining the army to fly a fighter jet?"

Wu Zhiyuan immediately said very excitedly:

"Of course I want to, now the single-engine fighter has more than two thousand powers, and I estimate that the top speed can exceed seven hundred, think about the excitement.

"But there are too many rules in the army, and the key is that we don't fight now.

"It's just a step-by-step training all day, but it's not as fun as continuing to play with airplanes by yourself.

"When will our Ming Dynasty officially unify the world, I will immediately sign up to join the army and go to the battlefield!

"We have two out of three parts of the world, and we have been cultivating for almost ten years, and now we have completely eased up.

"The key is that now with these new inventions of His Highness, now let's drive planes, chariots, and battleships to fight Tessie, it will definitely be like ...... It's sure to be able to go down in one go. ”

Zhu Jingyuan was originally chatting casually, but he didn't expect the other party to directly talk to him.

There is a sentence in his mouth that he said that he was half-closed, and according to the analysis of the context, most of it was like "it is the Western Jin Dynasty to destroy Wu".

However, the Western Jin Dynasty has always been unpopular with historians and politicians of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is not a suitable statement to use the Western Jin Dynasty than the Ming Dynasty.

So Wu Zhiyuan was stuck in this metaphor.

Being able to realize this kind of problem immediately in a very excited state shows that the other party's brain is really flexible.

The key is that there must be a habit of daily "key politics" and I like to participate in the discussion of political affairs.

Not a player who only likes to play with mechanics and weapons.

Of course, most of the "military enthusiasts" have this inclination.

Zhu Jingyuan also learned from these few sentences that in the minds of Wu Zhiyuan, the local "key politicians" of the Ming Dynasty, the world of the Ming Dynasty is now the whole world.

Then, according to the traditional political thinking of Shenzhou, since there are already two thirds of the world, it is a matter of taking advantage of the trend to continue to win the remaining one-third now.

The other party provoked the topic, and Zhu Jingyuan, as a key politician, of course, could not back down:

"Your analogy is not accurate, the whole world now is not the world of Shenzhou in the past.

"Because the people of Shenzhou are all our Ming people, even the surrounding Yi people are actually the same ancestors.

"After the division of successive dynasties, there will eventually be successors to unify the world, which depends on this foundation.

"But the more than 300 million Xiyi on Taixi's side are completely different from the image of our Ming people, and they are also completely different from the images of the surrounding groups of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's easy for us to take this land now, but it's a big trouble to deal with these foreigners."

Zhu Jingyuan felt that what he said was very reasonable, and he only raised the existing problems, but did not give a solution.

So there is no possibility of being refuted into a corner.

As a result, Wu Zhiyuan, a young man, did not hesitate to give a solution:

"I think it's very simple, let's kill all the men directly, and give the women to the Ming people as concubines and slaves.

"Thirty years later, the children born by Xiyi women to our Ming Dynasty have grown up, and there will be no Xiyi in the world."

Zhu Jingyuan was silent.

This is a simple and crude thinking......

This kid is really too young, although the physical age of this life is two years older than him, but the actual age in his heart has actually doubled.

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and patted Wu Zhiyuan's shoulder:

"It is good for young people to be motivated, but it is also necessary to think carefully about practical matters.

"If we put on a posture of exterminating the Xiyi clan, then the Xiyi clan will definitely resist desperately.

"We want to completely eliminate Xiyi in this state, and the losses that we Ming people have to bear are also incalculable.

"The point is, Tessie's native resources seem to be very barren at the moment.

"There is only some coal and steel, and the production of oil is very scarce.

"Our Yinzhou and Tiannan in the Ming Dynasty are mostly steel and coal, and Nanyang, Dashi, and Yinzhou are mostly oil.

"We have the best land in the world, and we have enough resources to use for generations.

"In this case, do you think it is necessary for us to fight for the cost of millions or even tens of millions of Ming people to completely wipe out the Yi people in the land of Taixi?

"The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the old gentlemen of the imperial court, are not the monarchs of the classical era.

"I will not waste the national strength of the Ming Dynasty out of thin air and sacrifice the people of the Ming Dynasty for the so-called meritorious service of unifying the world.

"In the past, the world war was just a war of self-defense and counterattack.

"Now world peace is the mainstream, and the main thing that the Ming Emperor, the imperial court, and I personally think about is development.

"In other words, I am thinking and researching how to make the life of the Ming people better."

Zhu Jingyuan still asked questions, but he didn't give a positive answer, and there was no way to answer him.

After all, he is an official of the imperial court, and what he says now may be spread out, causing immeasurable impact.

Zhu Jingyuan felt that he had proposed an option that he couldn't decide this time.

But the teenager on the opposite side made a decisive choice again:

"I think it's necessary, it's necessary, and only by doing this can we really remove obstacles for future generations.

"We are now in the ascendant of the sun, and the loss of millions of people is not unbearable.

"By bearing these losses now, we can completely eradicate the only enemy that seems to threaten the Ming Dynasty at the moment.

"Even if it's ...... Even if future generations are not good, it will be at most an internal struggle among our own people.

"It's like...... Just like after 800 years of the Zhou Dynasty, whether it was the unification of the world by Great Qin, or the victory of Han Taizu in the battle between Chu and Han, it was Zhuxia's own affairs.

"We keep the Tessians to continue to develop on their own, and if one of them comes out of the likes of Maudun and Temujin, it will be a disaster for our descendants after us."

Zhu Jingyuan showed a few imperceptible smiles on his face.

It seems that Maudun and Temujin of the Tessians actually appeared in history, but it was too late.

By the time of Napoleon and the mustache, it was no longer possible to conquer a place by defeating a feudal lord, as it was in the days of the classical dynasties.

Napoleon fell short in Lucia, and the mustache fell short in Lucia.

Instead, the Americans, on their own, developed themselves in the new land of the New World and established a new Rome of the Tessians.

Then, Wu Zhiyuan's thinking has been his own, but it is not as extreme as Wu Zhiyuan's young man.

I also want to completely remove the threat of future generations, but I choose to limit the development space of the other party.

Drive all the Tessians back to Tessie and keep them within the boundaries of the Tessie Continent:

"After the industrial age, the gap in scientific and technological level and ethnic group size will lead to an increasingly obvious gap in combat effectiveness.

"After the first industrial revolution, with artillery, railways, rifled guns, the steppe peoples were no longer a threat to the Central Plains.

"After this industrial revolution, regional powers can no longer threaten the status of world powers.

"The resources currently at the disposal of the Tessians determine their ceiling.

"Their presence is also an external driving force that spurs our children and grandchildren not to be decadent and lie flat.

"Therefore, neither the Ming court nor I have the idea of completely exterminating the Taixi people, nor do we have plans in this regard.

"Of course, if the Taixi countries take the initiative to ask to become vassals of the Ming Dynasty, we will also consider accepting it."

Zhu Jingyuan gave the right word this time, and this kind of accurate word must also be given.

It is impossible for today's conversation not to be leaked at all, and there will definitely be rumors leaking out.

If he always talks about him left and right, then after it spreads to society and the world, it will become "Prince Dashi is noncommittal about whether to eliminate and annex the countries of Taixi".

Considering their special status, after hearing the news, the countries of Taixi will immediately make a noise.

The whole world situation will soon become tense.

Therefore, it is impossible for politicians to speak casually, especially in countries that can influence the world situation, but cannot determine the world situation, and every word must be carefully spoken.

The higher the status and the stronger the country, the more casual it can be, but you can't just talk nonsense.

Even if he is actually in favor of completely exterminating the Tessie people in his heart, he absolutely has to say no or no support, and there is no relevant plan.

What's more, he didn't support that in the first place, and at most he was trying to find a way to limit the population growth of the Tessie people.

When the Ming people are more than twice the size of the Taixi people, and preferably more than three to four times, then consider completely conquering and absorbing.

Therefore, Zhu Jingyuan left an additional explanation that if the other party is willing to become a vassal, we will also consider accepting it.

Wu Zhiyuan obviously regretted it, but he also felt that this was a natural choice for politicians.

Wu Zhiyuan found that Zhu Jingyuan's last words were official.

Then I sighed in my heart:

This is indeed the case in politics, that is, there are trade-offs and compromises in various situations.

However, for the time being, it is obviously more reasonable and the least loss-making method to compress the living space of the Tessie people, let them lose each other, and control their development......

However, considering the status of His Royal Highness Prince Daishi, even at this level should be unspeakable.

This was supposed to be an awards ceremony, and it was impossible to continue chatting without restrictions.

So this is the end of this temporary and not completely free key political confrontation between the two.

Zhu Jingyuan temporarily retreated to the back and gave up the middle of the field to the winners.

Wu Zhiyuan, as the champion, picked up the pennant and waved it vigorously on the high platform.

Officials from the newspaper and the royal palace took photos and videotaped them in the process.

Then Zhu Jingyuan returned to the stage again and gave a short speech.

The main thing is to announce that the relevant events will become official events in the future, which are regularly organized by the Aviation Industry Association.

Daming Airlines will continue to sponsor and support, and also invite other aviation industry manufacturers to participate.

This match and subsequent footage will be archived, and a playable version will be edited out for public play in the appropriate context.

Subsequent matches will be broadcast live via the latest broadcast system.

Finally, it was announced that Daming Airlines will also launch lighter small aircraft in the future, so stay tuned.

The day after the award ceremony, Zhu Jingyuan set off for the Motor Vehicle Industrial Park in Nantong.
