542 Correct position

 In 1900, Angel had just turned ten when she came to southern Africa.

A full ten years have passed, and the ignorant child at the beginning has now walked out of school and started working, contributing his own strength to southern Africa.

Angel's generation is undoubtedly lucky. They have received a complete middle school education and have the opportunity to receive a university education. They are proficient in Chinese, English and even Boer. Their future prospects are limitless.

If we follow British tradition, second-generation officials like Andy have a great chance of entering politics and inheriting their father's legacy. Winston was only 26 years old when he was elected to Congress. However, the situation in Southern Africa is different from that of the British government.

, Luo Ke does not object to second-generation officials like An Qi entering politics, but they must have rich experience in grassroots work and perform well in grassroots work before they can gradually move up according to fixed procedures.

That's why Angel went to work for the Little Rock Police Department right after graduation while still studying for graduate school at Nyasaland University.

The Air Cavalry Flying Club is located on the shores of Lake Nyassa on the outskirts of Little Rock City, covering an area of ​​about 150 acres. Rock warmly invited Viscount Glaston to take an airship to visit Lake Nyassa. Viscount Glaston decisively refused. Flying is now

It is a project for young people. Viscount Glaston is already in his fifties this year, and his heart may not be able to bear the risk of flying in an airship.

Then just visit.

Although the Air Cavalry Flying Club has only been established for a short time, there are still a lot of photos in the exhibition hall. The most eye-catching photo is the photo of Lin Chengzhi, Xu Xiu and Ethan standing in front of the "Strong Wind" fighter jet before flying over the English Channel.

.

Different from the usual format that only takes half of the nose, or even only one cockpit, and the pilot has to take the photo diagonally upward from below, the "Strong Wind" fighter plane in the photo is a completely frontal image, with wings more than ten meters long.

The height of nearly three meters is represented by the technicians standing next to the aircraft. In order to also highlight the image of the pilots, Lin Chengzhi, Xu Xiu, and Ethan are positioned a bit forward. The outside of the light-colored one-piece flight suits they wear

Wearing a dark jacket with a fur collar, a leather hat specially designed for pilots, and a soft-brimmed hat unique to southern African soldiers, the three of them are tall, thick-browed and big-eyed, and their images are really representative.

In order to ensure that people can see this photo at first glance after entering the door, the photo was enlarged and hung in the most conspicuous position in the exhibition hall. Even if it is broad daylight, the light above the photo is still bright, which makes the frame

The sparkling diamonds complement the brown wooden floor.

Anyway, Viscount Glaston's first impression was that Nyasaland was really rich and there were really many diamonds in southern Africa.

"It was Lin who founded this flying club. So far, four people in this flying club have obtained flying licenses from the Aviation Administration, which means they have the ability to fly aircraft, but they still need to fly fighter jets and bombers.

Professional special training." Roque will definitely not introduce that the inlaid on the photo frame is actually crystal. The production in East, West and South Africa is also very large. Iteno also has many products that directly use crystal. After all, there are not so many rich people who have everything.

Always wear diamonds.

"This model is very good. It can train more pilots quickly and in large quantities." Viscount Glaston immediately realized the benefits of this method. There are actually flying clubs in the UK, but not many own airplanes. Even if they do, they are just like that.

This is a simple and primitive wooden frame, and its level of perfection is probably not as good as the gliders in the Air Cavalry Flying Club.

There are also various aircraft and paraglider models in the showroom. Such models can be sold and are an important way for the Air Cavalry Flying Club to make money.

Compared with only one aircraft model, there are many paraglider models, ranging from the simplest single-person paraglider with only one iron frame, to advanced paragliders that are similar in appearance to an airplane and have a propeller installed on the nose.

Paragliding has everything you need.

As a result, the paraglider equipped with a propeller immediately attracted the attention of Viscount Glaston.

"No, no, no, this is not an airplane, this is a paraglider. The power generated by this propeller is not enough to make the paraglider fly. It can only play an auxiliary role, allowing the paraglider to fly farther." Rock

I explained to the side that it would be great if it were really that easy to build an airplane.

Rock also caught up with a good time, and happened to get involved in this era when aircraft were just emerging. Earlier, the engine technology was not yet mature, and there were too many problems to overcome. Later, the development of aircraft would be further.

It's harder to catch up.

The current era is just right, aircraft have appeared, but the technology is not perfect yet. Rock only needs to provide some inspiration to Nyasaland's engineers from time to time, which is enough to keep Nyasaland's aircraft ahead of the curve.

"Then use a more powerful engine!" Viscount Glaston looked at the paraglider with burning eyes.

"Nyaasaland has the best engines in the world. The Wright Brothers also hope to purchase engines from Nyasaland to improve the performance of the aircraft. However, we have not sold them. The current engine production is insufficient and we do not have enough ourselves." Rock still

A little proud, the U.S. government has basically given up on the Wright brothers' "Flyer 3" and is negotiating with Nyasaland to purchase the aircraft. This is called taking other people's paths and leaving others with no way to go.

The United States today is not the United States that will dominate the world in the future. Even though Americans look down on Europe, which "smells of decadence", in fact, they are still very honest and pursue everything in Europe, especially the United Kingdom.

Southern Africa is still part of the United Kingdom, so the U.S. government has no psychological barriers to purchasing aircraft from Southern Africa.

As for whether this will affect the development of related companies in the United States, I'm sorry, the Wright brothers don't have enough influence yet. They are indeed the fathers of flight, but Rock stands on the shoulders of giants, so he can see further.

"Humph, Americans, that group of upstarts has annexed all the annexable territories in America, and now they finally set their sights overseas. Sooner or later, the United States will become the enemy of our British Empire." Viscount Gladstone hit the nail on the head.

In the UK, there are many people who have similar ideas to Viscount Glaston.

After the arms race began, the United States did not have a clear position and took advantage of Britain and Germany to make war profits. Therefore, the United Kingdom had great opinions on the United States, but this opinion could not be expressed openly, because if it was not handled well, it would be

If the United States pushes to Germany's side, the consequences will be even more serious.

Therefore, even if the United States has both sides, Britain can only try its best to win over it. It is impossible to turn against the United States unless the United States completely succumbs to Germany.

This situation is basically impossible to happen. After all, the President of the United States is not a lunatic like William II. The current British Empire is basically invincible, and the United States does not believe that Germany can challenge Britain's hegemony.

"The United States is a country with great potential. It has a large population, a vast territory and abundant resources. It does have great advantages, but as long as we don't make mistakes, Americans basically have no chance." Rock knows the strength of the United States, although the total industrial output value of the United States has now exceeded

Britain, but Britain is still the most powerful country in the world.

"The problem is that we are making mistakes. Even if we don't want to make mistakes, Germany is forcing us to make mistakes. The whole world will be dragged into the abyss by the German lunatic." Viscount Glaston was worried. This is the reality. Everyone knows that the outbreak has occurred.

The consequences of a world war, but no one can stop it.

"That's why we need a larger population, stronger industrial strength, and a stronger army, so that we can better safeguard our interests." Rock continued to brainwash Viscount Glaston.

Southern Africa actually has potential that is not weaker than that of the United States. Although purely in terms of territorial area, Southern Africa is much smaller than the United States, but Southern Africa is rich in resources and also has huge potential.

Compared with the United States, the biggest shortcoming of Southern Africa is population. The total population of the United States is now close to 100 million, but Southern Africa is less than 10 million. Without a sufficient population base, there will not be enough workers.

With the production value and scale, no matter how capable Rock is, there is no room for him to show off.

"You can consider immigrating from India." Viscount Glaston gave an option that Rock was least willing to choose.

For the United Kingdom, the largest population resource is India. India now has about 330 million people and is the most important British colony. Therefore, the United Kingdom can allow Canada to have autonomy, it can allow Australia to have autonomy, and it can allow Southern Africa to have autonomy, but it will never allow it.

Indian self-government.

In another time and space, after the outbreak of the World War, the British organized Indian servants to participate in the war, and promised to give India the same autonomous status as Canada, Australia, and Southern Africa after the war.

India believed it, mobilized 1.3 million troops to fight in Europe, and donated more than 100 million pounds in military expenditure.

As a result, after the end of the world war, Britain broke its promise and India launched the non-violent non-cooperation movement under the leadership of Gandhi.

Rock will definitely not immigrate from India. In this regard, Rock's attitude and Yang Smuts have a rare consensus. Not only will they not immigrate from India, but they will also repatriate Indians from southern Africa in batches.

As for whether this will lead to population decline, Rock doesn't care. The Indians leaving will make it easier for the Chinese to enter and fill the gap.

But this is what Yang Shimozi did not want to see, so politics is like this, there is cooperation, but there are also differences.

Leaving the showroom, Viscount Glaston could finally take a close look at the Air Cavalry Flying Club's only "Kangaroo two-seater trainer".

Although Viscount Glaston is unwilling to fly into the blue sky, it is still possible to sit in the cockpit and pose for a photo. Rock even imitated the photo in the showroom with Viscount Glaston in the "Kangaroo Two-Seater"

They took a photo together in front of the "training aircraft".

If this photo is developed, it will definitely replace the group photo of Lin Chengzhi and the three of them and hang in the most conspicuous place in the exhibition hall.
