"Are you surprised? Don't be too surprised. This is not a difficult task for me. How to do this is all high-tech. You won't understand it if I tell you. But don't worry, you can be here in a month at most.
Seeing Tianyan, go back and tell Zhang Yinhuan and Zhirui that they will be needed to follow you. You also know that the soldiers under my command are neither serious nor serious. It would be bad if the Holy Commander is surprised." Yang Feng was quite proud.
Di said to Kang Youwei.
He thought the solution was simple, just build an airship for nighttime airborne landings. There was no technical difficulty for him in building such a thing. It was nothing more than making a frame out of aluminum alloy and then adding a silk cloth.
Zeppelin is also very relaxed, but he doesn't need such a high-end one now. It's nothing more than a big toy that travels more than a hundred kilometers back and forth. He doesn't even need a rigid airship. He can simply build a semi-rigid one, a fish that is thirty or forty meters long.
It's just a super large balloon. At most, you can add an air chamber inside and a tank of hydrogen. It's enough to replenish some hydrogen when you return. Equipped with a small gasoline engine and a wooden propeller, it only takes about 10 minutes to take off from Luanxian to Peiping.
For a few hours, I found a windless full-moon day and didn't need any navigation. After flying to Beijing, I stopped the aircraft over Yingtai to deflate, descended to a height of tens of meters, and then the soldiers rappelled down.
There is a stone bridge connecting Yingtai to the shore. Only two submachine guns are needed to prevent one man from opening the gate. As for the imperial guards guarding Guangxu, I only took those people into consideration after reading too many martial arts novels.
Woolen cloth!
In this way, plus one of Zhi Rui or Zhang Yinhuan, four soldiers are responsible for cleaning up the imperial guards, and then greeting the holy driver. A driver is waiting in the sky, and a total of seven passengers are needed. Thirty to forty meters long, ten
An airship with a diameter of three meters is enough. As for the danger of loading hydrogen, no matter what they do, they are not going to ride on their own. If the Holy Spirit is so unlucky, it can only be said that the boar skin is not an eye-opener.
Kang Youwei didn't know that he was planning to parachute into Zhongnanhai! But he had no say in this matter, so he had to be taken down to rest.
Yang Feng was initially planning to find a beautiful woman's head to make, because the Bohai Sea was too shallow, and a giant creature like her might turn into an island if it went in. So he could only stop under the water of the Yellow Sea, but after some consideration, this guy
, I feel that there is no need to disturb her old man for this small project. She can just find a group of folk artists to do it by herself. This is not high-tech. Foreigners could have made it decades ago with the enthusiasm of junior high school students for making small technological inventions.
It's just something. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I just want to have some fun for myself.
He didn't even bother to find people from Fujian and Zhejiang. He directly gathered all the decent tailors and kite and lantern makers in Qinhuangdao in the area he controlled in eastern Hebei. Now he is like a Buddha in this area.
I heard that Governor Yang needed help, so why not come over quickly to serve him.
However, these craftsmen were stunned when they saw the pictures drawn by Yang Feng.
"Don't you understand? To put it simply, it is a double-layered oversized balloon. The shape is not exactly round, and the back is a little special. There is a basket for people hanging at the bottom. This balloon is made of silk, and the outside is painted
A layer of glue to prevent air leakage. Anyway, these are the specific requirements. You can discuss it together and see if it can be made. If not, tell me quickly. This thing must be completed within twenty days, so don’t delay my use." Yang Feng
Looking at the group of craftsmen, old and young, he said.
"Of course, if it is done within twenty days, then each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the one who contributes the most will be given double or even more." The guy added while drinking tea.
A group of craftsmen watched for a long time, and finally the oldest one stepped forward and was about to kneel down to speak, but Yang Feng stretched out his hand to stop him: "I don't want to kneel down here, you are twice as old as me, please give me a hand."
Kneel down and your life will be shortened."
The old man wiped away his tears and said, "May I ask if you want to make a stove-burning balloon like the one used by the navy?"
"Huh?" Yang Feng didn't expect that he actually knew about hot air balloons.
Seeing his expression, the old man quickly smiled and said: "Sir, the Navy's balloons used to hang around Tianjin. It is said that they were used to train the generals' courage. I was also lucky enough to see them a few times."
"Then you just need to understand the purpose. This is similar to something else, except that you don't need to burn a stove. You can fill it with hydrogen and it can rise directly. The bottom is for people, and you can just deflate it when you need to land." Yang Feng finished.
He took the drawings and began to explain to him in detail the function of each structure. This thing was not complicated at all. The paste lantern next to him understood it before he finished speaking. To put it bluntly, it was just a fish-shaped oversized Kongming lantern that did not need to be burned.
, everyone understood this explanation, and the old man immediately patted his chest and told him that he couldn't do it within twenty days, and Mr. Yang could just let him stand in the cage.
Now that the rest is easy, we directly surrounded a factory for them in Qinhuangdao and mobilized a battalion of soldiers to surround them. Because they were worried about rain and snow delaying the work, they even built a huge work shed with canvas and put up wooden shelves inside.
Several large stoves for heating, wires pulled from a landing ship and installed with large light bulbs of several hundred watts, a large amount of high-end silk fabrics shipped from Zhejiang by the Nautilus, and hundreds of folk artists under the personal technical guidance of Yang Feng.
Started building China's first airship for him.
As for the power, it is very simple. The Bofors Company in Shanghai sent him a 30-horsepower gasoline engine used in cars, and there is no need for a gearbox or anything else.
He was carrying out such a big project in Qinhuangdao, so it was impossible to hide it from the outside world. Even Cixi in Beijing heard that Governor Yang was so idle that he was making balloons with a bunch of low-level craftsmen there!
"Childish!" Cixi Lafayette said with disdain.
"Lafayette, judging from the current situation, Yang Ni is still afraid of Tianwei after all. What he did before was nothing more than bluffing. He still doesn't dare to really attack Beijing. Looking at it this way, I'm afraid he is in Jidong
He won't be able to hold on for much longer. As long as the court persists, when the spring warms up, he will leave on his own without having to chase him away." Yi Kuang said with a smile.
"Oh, I hope so. It's already the New Year, and the Ai family doesn't want to cause more trouble. Find someone to send him some rewards. Even if he doesn't dare to see us, we can still let him know that the court treats him
There is no ill intention, so he shouldn't be too ungrateful." Cixi sighed and said.
"The Queen Mother is really kind-hearted. I think Yang Feng will definitely be grateful for her kindness." Yi Kuang said with a smile.
Naturally, the people sent to deliver gifts could not see Yang Feng. They were intercepted by the defenders in Tangshan. They left gifts and instructions for Yang Feng and drove him back. This was also expected. After Cixi
It seems that this should be regarded as an achievement. After all, he could not even send the decree before, but now that it can be left behind, it means that Yang Feng is also willing to communicate.
"This old lady had a good idea. She thought that after I retired from the army, she would put De Shou in jail for corruption, so she would simply send me away? He would be guilty of whatever crime I gave him."
Yang Feng looked at Cixi's decree and sneered.
"Yang, why do you insist on holding on to this matter?" Waldzer asked curiously. During this time, he finally cleaned up the Japanese resistance forces in Kyushu. There were more than 200,000 Japanese in the clearing operation.
After dying under his butcher's knife, no one who was left dared to express their desire to resist anymore. They built the Berlin Wall north of Kumamoto one by one under the threat of the bayonets of German soldiers.
"It's nothing, I just want the court to know that whatever is given to me is mine, and don't worry about doing little things for me every day." Yang Feng said viciously.
"Stop talking about these topics, let's talk about your gains in Japan. Speaking of which, we started the game but ended up helping the Russians. It's really depressing to think about it. His Majesty Nicholas didn't say anything about giving us more benefits.
After digging up so many good things in Japan, and actually keeping them all to myself, it will be difficult to think about such a good business in the future." The guy then said somewhat maliciously.
"Yes, all the wild lands that should be developed in this world have been cleared. Germany rose too late and missed such a great colonial era. Now we can only acquiesce to this result." Waldzer sighed.
He said in a tone that showed that he felt quite disappointed. There is really no target in the world now. Speaking of which, being able to carve up a colony from Japan can be said to be Germany's biggest gain in these years.
"By the way, I heard that Italy is preparing to go to war with Ethiopia?" Yang Feng said casually.
"How do you know?" Waldzer said unexpectedly. After the protection agreement between Italy and Ethiopia expired, the Ethiopian emperor was no longer prepared to renew it. In the eyes of the colonists, this was a betrayal and war was inevitable.
"It's very simple. They bought 500 tons of poison gas bombs from me, and my factory is still producing them day and night. I guess those niggas will be in trouble now, and the Italians will add another colony. If
Adding this, they should have more colonies than Germany, right?" Yang Feng said.
Waldzer smiled awkwardly.
"I also heard that the Americans are planning to attack Cuba." Yang Feng then dropped another bombshell news.
"How true is this news?" Waldzer suddenly became nervous. It is conceivable that if the Americans go to war with Spain, the war will definitely spread to the Philippines. Using the strength of the United States to defeat the Spanish and seize the Philippines is a very simple matter.
The Spanish army was so weak that even Yang Feng could easily defeat it.
"It must be true, right? You also know that I have many friends in the U.S. Congress. According to them, the U.S. financial giants have reached an intolerable level of bloody suppression of the Spanish rebels on the island of Cuba." Yang
