Boeing's XP936 and 247 passenger planes all took off, and prototypes from other countries also flew into the sky not to be outdone. Although some of them did not win the bid, it was a rare opportunity to show their strength in front of the whole world, and not everyone could.

If they have the ability to purchase the most advanced aircraft, they also have opportunities.

Dozens of various aircrafts circled the sky over Shanghai, and the scene was spectacular! Millions of Shanghai citizens had a rare free opportunity to watch a group performance of the world's advanced aircraft. The feeling was the same as being strafed at low altitude by Japanese fighter planes.

The terror of the bombing was completely different. Especially when I heard that the most beautiful, largest, fastest, and tallest planes in the sky were all designed and manufactured by the Chinese, countless people couldn't help but cheer!

The Japanese warships parked on the Huangpu River were replaced with the latest A2N1-90 biplane fighter jets to replace the Nakajima III and Type 13 attack ships that were beaten by two Boeing 218s that day. After arriving, these

The sky was not breaking and I flew to Shanghai with all my teeth and claws in the sky. Today I saw so many planes climbing overhead that I immediately took off to show my disapproval.

However, the Japanese clearly made a mistake in their judgment today. The three Type 90s had just climbed to the top speed of 293 kilometers per hour. Kyorō's x211 flew past their formation less than 20 meters away like a bullet, throwing them out of sight!

Several Japanese planes were startled! Before they could recover, Curtis' C21 passed by them at a slightly slower speed. The stirred up airflow almost caused them to collide with each other! It was difficult to stabilize the flight.

posture, there was a huge shadow in the sky, and the DC-1 passenger plane that was five or six times larger than them actually ran over without ceremony, leaving them behind!

Is there anything wrong with the fighter jets overtaking the passenger plane? Even if the three Japanese planes made their engines scream and tremble, it would not help. They watched the passengers in the cabin wave to them with sarcastic smiles, and even put their thumbs down in ruthless contempt.

, but there is nothing you can do!

Next, fighter jets from the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and other American companies... all kinds of fighter jets easily surpassed three Japanese planes and chased away the leading group. The Japanese pilots screamed in anger.

There is no other way - he doesn't dare to open fire. The great powers are showing off their technology and military power. Japan alone cannot afford to offend him!

Finally, in addition to the British DH-84 and other old aircraft, the Japanese aircraft slowed down slightly, and the German Junkers JU-52-3M shook its huge fuselage and floated past, making them completely give up and unwilling to do so.

It circled around a few times and fell back to the water - I can't afford to offend you, but I can hide!

Today's scene has also made Japan determined to develop a fighter jet that is fast enough, otherwise even the Chinese will slap them in the face in front of all nations, and how will they fight in the future!

The DC-1 powerfully surpassed the Japanese biplane fighter, and the figure flying stably at high altitude was too dazzling. The representatives and merchants from various countries observing with telescopes below all widened their eyes. They clearly realized that at least at this time,

In a few years, no one will be able to compare with Douglas!

Think about their introduction. There are so many auxiliary equipment packed into the all-metal fuselage. It can carry 16 passengers and fly at a speed that even three engines cannot achieve. In the shipping market, this aircraft will be the most popular one.

Economical and practical, like no other!

In comparison, although Boeing's 247 performs well, it can only carry 10 passengers, does not have so many considerate facilities, and has a low fuselage that makes people unable to lift their heads. In comparison, the winner will be determined! It's even worse.

Unfortunately, because Boeing itself had not undergone complete test flights, it actually hesitated when recruiting passengers. Most of them were filled by company employees, and their confidence fell even further. Compared with the two, their questioning behavior suddenly became a big deal.

joke!

"Mr. Boeing, those two aircraft were completely designed by the Chinese. I believe it won't be long before we can manufacture them completely independently."

Wang Zhu, who had remained silent, calmly said to William Boeing something he had been holding in his heart for many years, we Chinese are not inferior to you foreigners! With sufficient industrial foundation, we may be able to do better than you!

William Boeing left the meeting early citing "physical discomfort." Soon after, he sold all his shares, left Boeing, and retired.

He and his men did not notice that when the test flight was requested, representatives from Curtis and Douglas were secretly wiping cold sweats! Because these two aircraft had never been tested at all!

From the beginning of the cooperation, Zhu Bin directly provided a complete set of manufacturing drawings, detailing the specifications, materials and technical indicators of each part. The two companies only produced and assembled according to the drawings. Although they could rely on experience

It is judged that the performance of these two aircraft is definitely no problem, but without repeated flight tests, who can guarantee it?

It was Zhu Bin who signed the agreement that if the flight failed, all losses and investments would be borne by him, so the two companies were willing to take action. Of course, after the completion of manufacturing, after several ground gliding verifications and brief low-altitude takeoffs and landings, everything was normal.

Today is such a complete test, the first time!

But their adventures were successful! After all this, their reputation rose instead of falling, and Boeing became a pitiful clown, sticking its face out in front of everyone.

, they can no longer be arrogant! Curtis is fully confident of winning the US government's new batch of fighter jet tenders, and Douglas hopes to get at least 60 orders for TWA's new passenger aircraft tender! This is thousands

A big business of 10,000 US dollars! Coupled with China's routes and "Global Express" shipping all over the world, I'm afraid they will be too busy!

Make a lot of money!

Some people thought more, and they suddenly discovered that after this bidding, a brand new major alliance in the aviation industry is about to emerge! Curtiss-Wright's Tornado engines and fighter jets, Douglas's passenger planes and transport aircraft, Curtiss

.China's exclusive airmail, "Global Connect" long-distance shipping between China and the world, coupled with the technical support of gd laboratory, they will be able to compete with the "United Technologies Corporation" formed by Boeing and other companies!

If you add the soon-to-be-expanded TWA Global Airlines and American Airlines, the rival that was rejected by Boeing, a giant in the shipping industry is about to be born! With the support of technology, products, routes, markets and official background, who else can compete with them?

Competition?

Originally, they might not be able to unite closely, but Boeing's persecution not only lost its own market opportunities, but also forced them to unite and establish a powerful opponent for no reason. How stupid!

The closing program of the grand bidding fair was equally exciting. Under the watchful eyes of the merchants who had been waiting for a long time, the tall tower crane produced by Jiangnan Shipbuilding worked together with the crane to lift the containers from a 3,000-ton cargo ship and transfer them to the dock one by one.

It was built as high as a towering city wall, covering an area several times smaller than an ordinary warehouse. The large forklift from the Universal Combine Harvester, which had been waiting for a long time, came forward, steadily lifted the empty box, took it down, and loaded it into the warehouse next to it.

On the flatbed trailer, powerful trucks from various countries were dragging the containers to the next cargo yard in thick smoke. Another forklift unloaded them, set them up, quickly loaded batches of goods, and was then transferred to another freighter by a crane.

The whole process went smoothly. Countless company bosses held stopwatches in their hands to calculate their loading and unloading speed by the second. After the one-hour loading and unloading demonstration was completed, everyone was stunned by the calculated efficiency!

Six times? That is a very conservative statement! In addition to large quantities of ore, grain and other raw material cargoes, the most common small batches of bulk cargo and packaged cargo, the speed of container transportation, cargo station space utilization, loading and unloading efficiency

, coupled with the transportation efficiency from railway stations, city freight yards and other places, it is more than ten times!

In ocean transportation, loading, unloading, storage and transshipment account for a huge part of the cost. The money saved by this alone can make the cargo owners a lot of money! Especially in the face of the extremely bad Great Depression, cost is everything! In order to protect

In the economy of one's own country, trade protection and price war are the most commonly used methods. Whoever can achieve the lowest cost will be the winner!

The shareholders of "Global Communication" are completely relieved to unfreeze the funds and invest in the construction. The related franchisees are excited and wave their checks to take over the downstream chain. The relevant cooperative manufacturers are laughing out loud, being excluded or originally looked down upon and disbelieved.

Companies, foreign companies, manufacturers and shipping owners all looked pale and lost their minds!

"It's too easy to win, and there's no sense of accomplishment at all." Zhu Bin was so narcissistic that he felt very good that he, a trash collector, could successfully plan such a huge plan.

"Hmph! Don't be too happy too early." Serena, who was far away in the French Concession, heard her cold voice through the lifeboat, "You are not strong enough yet, be careful of them joining forces to eat you."

Zhu Bin was like a bucket of snow poured down his head, and all the joy in his heart was gone. He muttered unhappily: "Serena, can you please say something to make me happy? It's very hurtful if you don't do it in such a shocking way."

So proud!"

Serena acted rigidly, as if she had no emotions at all, and said calmly: "Inappropriate excitement will only make you make wrong judgments. As an assistant, I have the responsibility to remind you at all times."

"Okay, okay! You're right." Zhu Bin raised his hands in surrender, "Then, what should I do according to your wishes?"

Serena said: "Find yourself a next target, unite with a strong temporary partner, and while attacking another opponent, support a solid alliance that is beneficial to you."

"So who is the next target?" This method is still the same as this time, using the attack on Boeing to promote another alliance.

"Dupont!"

Zhu Bin almost jumped up as if he had been stung by Ma Feng, and lost his voice: "Dupont?! Have you made a mistake? This company is a ruthless guy, even ten Boeings can't compare with him! Isn't it a little early to deal with him now?

We are not strong enough to stand up to these conglomerates with hundreds of millions of dollars and huge government influence!"

DuPont is not only a company, but also a consortium. It is a black-hearted company that started out by making war fortune. It has strong connections and influence in the military and government. This time, Franklin Roosevelt is running for president. What is the planning behind it?

And the supporter is DuPont! This company has great ambitions!

Serena said calmly: "You even blew up his lair, robbed important engineers, and burned down the laboratory. The enemy is inevitable. The next plan must involve arms and weapons. Dupont can't get around it. Set a strong target.

Helps keep a clear mind.”

"Okay. It's up to him." Zhu Bin could only agree. Who made Serena the chief designer of the plan? "But the problem is that the speed of providing gold and silver by the spaceship smelting furnace is too slow, and it is too easy to attract others' attention.

Well, to fight DuPont is to fight half of the U.S. government, and hundreds of millions of dollars in funds are needed. Who can we get it from? The Americans are definitely unreliable."

"Germans." Serena forcefully shoved a bunch of information and photos over her, "This time there are many German compradors, businessmen, and military representatives coming to Shanghai. If nothing else, they will look for you. Golden Plan, okay

It is carried out through them, and they are the only ones who do not have the ability or courage to annex you, so they can only cooperate."

"Okay." Zhu Bin rubbed his chin and muttered.

The Germans are currently fighting fiercely with the national government. They support it on the surface, but secretly continue to provide barter trade to Guangdong and Guangxi. They are also very ambiguous about the issue of Manchukuo, which is not a good thing. However, as a defeated country, it does not have a strong power.

Military power is engaged in destruction, but a large amount of resources and hidden power are needed to support revival. I am afraid that it is the only partner with whom we can cooperate.

On July 15, Zhu Bin was bidding farewell to the first global container shipping verification fleet at the dock. Six 3,000-ton cargo ships that he had renovated at his own expense were filled with cargo from the Shanghai dock and headed eastward via Japan, Hawaii, and the West Coast of the United States.

Panama and the Atlantic route went straight to Germany. After two months of intensive training, more than a hundred former volunteer soldiers were escorted along the way under the leadership of Yu Baoguo, and at the same time conducted maritime military training.
