"Mr. Zhang, do you want to build an airship? You know how much it costs......"

Obviously, German scholars have long been accustomed to Zhang Sixing's way of doing things, and patiently explained to him the difficulties that may arise in this matter.

Tang Zhongming's brain was rarely idle because the gas engine he had been brewing in his mind for a long time was already being built at this time.

At the long conference table, he also listened carefully to Zhang Sixing's plan,

"The price is not a problem, the labor here is extremely cheap. Even if we only provide food, there will be people who are willing to come to work. And we don't build airships that carry hundreds of tons and cross the Atlantic, we build small airships with a load of about five tons. And we don't use it for war, we just use it for transportation. ”

As a person who has been in Germany for a long time, Zhang Sixing still knows about the Hindenburg plane crash in New York. However, in the current era when there are not even enough cars in China, and the roads are sparse and difficult to build quickly, small airships are just a kind of aircraft suitable for development.

"Sir, if we build an airship, will the road still be repaired?"

Hansen didn't know much about the technical aspects, so he quietly approached Zhang Sixing and asked in a low voice.

"The road still needs to be built, but this is not the opposite of air transportation, on the contrary, it will achieve complementary advantages."

Look at the German scholar and Tang Zhongming in front of him, Zhang Sixing's patient explanation,

"Having been here for so long, you should know that there aren't enough cars here and that the road system is terrible. And we are a paratrooper school, we can't always let soldiers jump off delta wings to practice parachuting, and besides, we don't have that many motorcycle engines. ”

Yes, this is the problem that Zhang Sixing faced in establishing a paratrooper school, and everything was almost from scratch. So he had to use his brain hard and use everything that could be useful.

"It's not too complicated, it can control take-off and landing flights with a load of five tons, it is the most robust, durable and cheap, let's think about it."

"But when it comes to building hard airships, we don't have that much metal."

This is a real problem, and it takes a lot of metal to build a rigid airship. After all, the shell of the Hindenburg airship is made of aluminum alloy. The lack of sufficient metal materials is the biggest problem in Huaxia.

"We don't use metal, we use fiberglass, and as long as we still have fiberglass and resin, then the material is not a problem. The metal that is consumed is only the metal used to produce the engine, and it is not used anywhere else. ”

The scholars here can no longer object to this, and of course they are not really against it, but the most important thing before starting the project is to think of all the worst possibilities.

"Well, at least we don't have to worry about metal."

"Please, you know that we need a lot of food, and if we have an airship, we can buy it in large quantities from out of town or abroad."

Everyone understands the current problems of the paratrooper school, there are many good industries, but because of the problems of food and land, it cannot be successfully landed under the interference of some people with ulterior motives.

Soldiers were not able to train smoothly, and even in a time when the country was in danger, the profiteers refused to give up their ill-gotten gains. Even when there is no profit, they are willing to use the greatest malice to speculate on the actions of the other party against foreign forces.

"Lao Yu, if you want the grain merchants to be strong, anyway, normal sales will not affect them. As for whether or not to do a business to go to a paratrooper school, they don't want to buy food from the villagers, and that grain is enough for them. When the food is almost eaten now, there will be a time when they will come to us. In addition, Shaofu also relied on his classmates to contact us with new sales outlets, and when the time came, the food was shipped out and the hardware was bought......"

Speaking of this, Hu Jie picked up the tea bowl. The eye-catching old man hurriedly stood up, picked up his top hat and saluted Hu Jie,

"Mr. Hu, I won't bother you, you still have to pay more attention to your body in the cold winter, and I will say goodbye."

After speaking, Lao Yu, the representative of the grain merchant, hurriedly went out of the house, and Hu Jie, who was sitting on the chair, waved to the next person.

"Call the young master."

"It's the master"

Looking at the back of the subordinate who turned to leave, Hu Jie thought about the matter in front of him.

In fact, it is not a problem for the guest army to eat high-priced grain, after all, this is Yunnan, and no matter where the army comes from, it is not qualified to collect grain here. In addition to the grain and grass allocated by the military department, I had to eat some extra high-priced grain.

The local military and political leaders will not open their mouths about this matter. The guest army also has to understand some rules, come to the president of the chamber of commerce to take a turn and give everyone a face, and it will be much easier to do things later.

But the current situation is that the local chamber of commerce does not know about the industries that the machines transported from the railway are going to do. A large number of wounded people from outside did not buy their high-priced food.

The most annoying thing is that the kid who hit the door of the house actually dared to beat himself hard, but a circle of people persuaded him to calm down. Is this okay, of course not, don't retaliate back, don't let that kid bow his head and admit his mistakes, who sees himself as not a joke.

That kid is not a material for doing big things, so he can't bear it at all, so what big things can he do.

"Dad, you call me."

Hu Shaofu came to Hu Jie, looking at his aging father and the teeth that were knocked out by Zhang Sixing, he was heartbroken and helpless.

Although he studied in Japan, his father sold high-priced food to those wounded soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War, which is really unreasonable. However, this is his father, no matter how wrong he is, it is not for others to point fingers.

From the perspective of traditional culture, kissing has to hide the prime minister.

To put it simply, Lao Tzu has committed a crime, and his son can be covered.

So after learning a new style of law in Japan, and being constrained by this, Hu Shaofu felt that this matter was too difficult to solve.

"Yes, Shaofu, our Kunming grain merchants have a lot of grain in their hands, but unfortunately they haven't sold it yet. Just now, Lao Yu came to me and wanted me to think of a way. ”

Looking at his father, Wu Shaofu licked his lips and asked carefully,

"Father, in business, Uncle Yu, they will reduce the price, I will consider the paratrooper school......"

raised his triangular eyes and rolled his eyes at Wu Shaofu,

"I mean, you go to Guangzhou. Now that China and Japan are at war, there will definitely be a shortage of food ahead. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Jie looked at his son with a blank look in his eyes, hoping that he would understand that it was no longer a question of whether the price of food would rise or not, and whether or not to feed the wounded soldiers. At present, it is the status of his Hu family in the Kunming business district, and it is a game with Zhang Sixing, an outsider.

Licking his lips again, Hu Shaofu knew Zhang Sixing's power in the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Concession, so the European and American businessmen on the side of the Ministry of Industry Bureau did not have to think about it.

The only thing is to sell to the Japanese, even if they are afraid that Zhang Sixing will kill people indiscriminately in the concession, but they still sell the grain if they want to. However, Hu Shaofu still understands one thing in his heart, no matter which Japanese businessman he does this business with, the other party will look down on him after all.
