There is nothing to say about the progress of these three major wealth-showing projects. From site selection to construction of the Empire State Building, this is all handled by the construction company under the consortium. It has the construction experience of the Swedish headquarters building, and the rest is nothing more than construction based on the drawings.
That's all, but a lot of thought was put into selecting the site. This skyscraper is too tall and cannot be too close to the palace. Emperor Yang doesn't want everything in the palace to be overlooked by others. He must know everything he has in the future.
All the shameful deeds are planned to be carried out in this palace.
Not even the inner city. In this case, it would be better to build it outside the city. At this time, the city of Beijing had begun to expand rapidly with the development of economy. Although it did not expand to the terrifying level of modern times, it was no longer just a 49th building.
The city can accommodate it, especially to the east, which is now almost connected to Tongzhou. In this way, Emperor Yang quickly determined the location of the Empire State Building and built it outside Chaoyang Gate so that foreigners entering Beijing in the future would first
Accept the baptism of modern industrial miracles, and then feel the depth of ancient civilization.
As for the height of all buildings in Beijing, it is strictly forbidden to build any skyscrapers. It is conceivable that after the completion of the Empire State Building, some people will definitely follow suit and build high-rise buildings. These buildings can be built as high as they want outside Beijing, even if they are higher than the Empire State Building.
It doesn't matter, but the height in Beijing cannot exceed thirty meters, and within the imperial city that he has opened, the height of all buildings must not exceed three halls.
Both the cabinet and the Congress are very in favor of this. Of course, their main consideration is the royal majesty. In fact, the Congress is not very in favor of Yang Feng's opening of the imperial city. Some members even suggested that if
His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like to preserve those buildings that have outlived their use, such as various manufacturing bureaus, stables and other buildings, so he might as well demolish them and turn them into gardens.
Of course, Emperor Yang had no interest in this. It would be boring for his wife and children to live in a courtyard of more than half a square kilometer. If they lived in a courtyard of seven square kilometers, it would be worse than death.
However, although the Imperial City has been opened to the public in recent years, those who want to live in the Imperial City are still subject to strict scrutiny. Currently, only some senior officials have such qualifications. Those without noble titles will not be approved by the Beijing City Hall. That's all.
Most of the elders and ministers just built a house, but few of them lived there for a long time. It was more used to show their status. They would not dare to be neighbors with the emperor.
The manufacturing of airships is simpler. China’s current aluminum alloy level has surpassed that of Germany in the airship era. Whether the 2024 alloy or the 7075 alloy, they are both at the level of World War II, especially the latter, which is a national treasure-level technology of the Japanese. The Type Zero conquered the world.
The magic weapon to win is that it is very simple to build a rigid airship with a high-performance aluminum alloy frame, and then add a high-power engine. It is estimated that the performance of his Zeppelin airship will be much stronger than the original version.
Such a factory does not need to be secretive. It can be built directly outside Beijing and build a super-large factory. Everything is done inside. Twenty airships are manufactured at the same time. It is estimated that it will be almost completed in half a year.
, it’s not high-tech. It’s just an oversized balloon. As for the crew cabin, it should naturally be as luxurious as possible. Not only should it have a bedroom, but it should also have sanitary facilities. Lying in the bathtub and watching the white clouds outside is undoubtedly life.
A great enjoyment, only this is worthy of your own royal style.
Two air support models should also be separated from it, equipped with a 37-gun, four 12.7 mm machine guns, and even a few 50-kilogram bombs, so that even if there is an accident and forced landing, they can be used to protect him.
The thousand guards can also receive artillery support. Of course, the chance of this happening is probably not much greater than winning five million. This is more to show off his strength to the Europeans.
In fact, in the fantasy of scientists at this time, the sky war in the future world will be carried out by airships. Some people even described in newspapers the scene of using airships to attack warships at sea. Such an armed airship will definitely make people
Europeans are obsessed with it. If they follow suit and convert hydrogen airships into air battleships, Emperor Yang will definitely be happy.
Dagukou.
As the gongs and drums began to sound on the shore, a huge fleet painted in white was slowly approaching. Seeing these majestic sea monsters, countless Chinese people cheered excitedly, and reporters from various countries who had been waiting for a long time
They even pressed the camera shutter frantically to record this historic moment.
The Chinese Navy's Global Visit Fleet, or Yang Feng's Great White Fleet, will be inspected by His Majesty the Emperor at Dagukou, and then sail from here to Europe to begin their circumnavigation, or show off their power.
This fleet consists of a total of twenty combat ships and four supply ships, including the newly commissioned Kunlun-class battleships Helan, Qilian, and Wushan, and the latest Hongwu-class battlecruiser Hongwu.
Emperor, Zhenguan, and four other newly commissioned heavy cruisers and ten light cruisers. Now Emperor Yang no longer plays with the concept of armored cruisers and protected cruisers. In fact, there is no way to play with them, because protected cruisers
No one is building them anymore. Nowadays, new cruisers in various countries are being installed and installed, including the unfinished protected cruisers, which are simply dismantled.
In this way, we had to divide the cruise ships according to tonnage and artillery caliber. Although there was no agreement on this, Emperor Yang himself set the standard. The full platoon is less than 7,000 tons, and the artillery caliber is less than 200 millimeters. It is considered a light cruiser. No matter how large it is,
Even for heavy cruisers, the power systems of these four heavy cruisers are the same as those of the Tianshan class, which are twelve 80,000-horsepower diesel engines, but the artillery has been changed to three triple 240 main guns, with two in front and one behind.
In this way, through weight reduction, the maximum speed can reach 35 knots.
His battlecruiser also adopted this method to reduce weight in exchange for speed, but it had triple 280 main guns.
This extremely arrogant fleet will truly show Yang Feng's imperial power to the world. His purpose is very simple. Through this ostentatious voyage, he will defeat the ambitions of the European powers to meddle with his interests and want to expand to the Pacific coast.
Don't expect expansion. This place belongs to me, Yang Feng. If you are not satisfied with your current life, then go grab the British Empire and the French Republic. They have plenty of targets for you to attack.
The Great White Fleet lined up outside the entrance of Dagu, saluting the cheering crowd on the shore. On the blue sea under the sun, the white giant ships stood majestically, with their cannon muzzles pointing to the sky, declaring the dominance of the sea.
Majestic. This scene brought tears to the eyes of countless people on the shore. Ten years seemed like a dream. In ten years, their country jumped from a poor agricultural country to the third largest industrial country in the world. In ten years, it was at the mercy of others.
The sick man of East Asia has become one of the great powers, and the one who brought them all this is His Majesty the Emperor, who is slowly coming up the Haihe River.
Amid countless heartfelt cheers, Emperor Yang stood proudly on the deck of the Nautilus and waved to his subjects. Today, this guy is no longer wearing his golden dragon stand-up collar, but his sea turtleneck.
The Army Generalissimo's uniform looks extremely gorgeous, especially the tassel hanging on the head, which exudes a domineering air.
The arrival of His Majesty the Emperor brought the farewell ceremony into high gear. For a while, the salutes kept ringing, fireworks exploded in the sky, and the band played hard. Under the admiration of all the people, the black trimaran yacht
Slowly sailing out of Dagokou, Emperor Yang boarded a cruiser that served as a review ship and began to review his fleet. During the review process, it was natural to deliver a holy sermon, encouraging the soldiers who were about to sail away to bring peace to the people of all countries.
I would like to send my greetings to the Chinese people, let them feel the warm spring breeze from the ancient civilization, and let the descendants of Yan and Huang spread around the world know that there is a powerful motherland behind them. If they are bullied, they must speak out and the motherland will support them.
.
The fleet stretched for ten kilometers on the sea. The review ships passed slowly from front to back, and then turned around and sailed next to the battleship Helan as the flagship. Emperor Yang personally issued the fleet order as the navy and army marshal, and then
Vice Admiral Cheng Biguang, the visiting fleet commander, received the order, and the Great White Fleet sailed into the distance.
"I can say that I have no regrets in my life if I can see what our navy has become today." Ding Ruchang, the Navy Minister beside Emperor Yang, said with emotion as he looked at the Great White Fleet that was gradually receding.
"This is nothing, it's just six battleships with more than 10,000 tons. When our two super battleships and aircraft carriers are put into service, it will be almost the same if you say this at that time." Yang Feng said. However, even though he said this, it can be said
He still feels a sense of accomplishment in bringing China to this level. After all, it has only been fourteen years since he came to this time and space. As for the time when he returned to China, it was not even ten years ago.
In ten years, he transformed a poor and backward feudal agricultural country into one of the world's leading capitalist powers. Even he himself felt that he was a wise emperor worthy of the previous generation.
Mingjun was looking very proud there! Yuan Shikai hurriedly came over, handed him a telegram, and then said with a somewhat nervous expression: "Your Majesty, the Kaiser visited Morocco and gave a speech in Tangier Port, publicly stating that Germany would help
The Moroccans safeguard their sovereignty, the great powers enjoy equal rights in Morocco, and any attempt to monopolize Morocco will be regarded as a provocation to Germany."
"Oh, this William can't let his uncle live a peaceful life!" Emperor Yang said with a smile while looking at the telegram in his hand. (To be continued...)
