Chapter 8
Just as Tang Yunyang led his first army equipped with sufficient warships, aircraft, air assault divisions, and Marine Corps forces to repeatedly practice the upcoming battle on the island near Truke, the war in Europe became more and more intense.
Since the United States declared war on Germany on April 6, the battleships and cruisers that had been on standby in various ports and destroyed ships immediately covered the sea, and the German wolves suffered heavy losses under such pursuit.
Immediately, the sea and air transport vehicles were fully activated. American young men carrying only light weapons produced in their own country took a group of airships provided by the MMP Military Industry Group and flew across the Atlantic Ocean to France in groups.
Through simple calculations, we can know the transportation capacity of these 100 airships. If each airship can be equipped with 150 people to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, then the vanguard of 100,000 people will have to go back and forth.
Even so, Americans, including Britain and France, do not appreciate the actions of the airship group very much. This world-class achievement was deliberately expelled from the media by politicians, and the leaderless MMT military industry group did not seem to have protested.
With the mission of airlifting the vanguard of the US military, the 100 airships did not have to return to the United States. Add enough fuel to the airport outside the city of Nancy, France. In the satisfied eyes of the European and American governments, a large number of skilled Chinese workers left France and flew to Batavia.
Subsequently, among the leading US troops, according to the suggestion of Patton who had returned to the US military, they began to purchase a large number of "Tomcat-a(b)" two heavy air combat aircraft, as well as a large number of crawler armored vehicles.
With Patton's existing experience, the US military's armored brigade that conforms to modern structures was quickly established. However, the delivery of the "Gray Wolf Tank" MMT Military Industry Group they ordered was repeatedly delayed.
It is worth mentioning that Patton's beautiful sister and Zhu Binhou officially fell in love. At this point, Pershing, the commander of the US Expeditionary Force, was somewhat dissatisfied, so Patton's armored brigade plan also suffered some minor hardships.
Of course, it was just a "small" hardship. Thunder International did "good things" in France, but it fell into the eyes of the Americans without any help. Although they believed that this force was completely controlled by the Easterners and was worthy of guard against, they would not deny their combat methods and advanced weapons and equipment.
Throughout May 1917, there was not much change on the battlefield on the Western Front. The British and French coalition forces, who had already recovered from the Occupy Central of the Somme, were not in a hurry to attack. They were looking forward to the US military's training and equipment, and planned to defeat the German front in one fell swoop after the US military was fully trained and equipped.
At the same time, they also stored ammunition and oil on a large scale. The purpose was that once they broke through the German front, they would advance quickly on the battlefield of integrated air-ground warfare.
Although there were no major wars on the European battlefield, changes occurred in the shopping malls that made all the arms dealers in Europe happy.
The headquarters of MMP Military Industry Group, far away in the United States, suddenly announced that it had begun to produce three-engine long-range aircraft. It is said that such large long-range aircraft have the ability to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.
Due to the emergence of good news, the stock of MMP Military Industry Group rose sharply. Soon after, the company announced that it would completely stop production of large airships, which was no longer in line with the needs. This news did not cause excessive reaction.
German airships on the Western Front have been attacked by the coalition fleet and are afraid to sail. And according to rumors, all these German airships have been dealt with at a low price to the MMT Military Industry Group to obtain more air combat aircraft and attack aircraft.
In the French Nancy, the market situation changed drastically in May.
First, the MMP Military Industry Group in Nancy City suddenly changed hands after completing the largest business of the US military. Not only did Tang Yunyang and Mike Lang sell all their shares, but even Katha Merlin also sold most of his shares.
Before this, the design studio of MMP Military Industry Group was independent and signed a contract with Cather Green's Merlin Minsheng Company to turn to the study of civil machinery and vehicles.
The original medical supplies companies of MMP Military Industry Group and the branches of civilian products have changed their names one after another. The Chinese who have become skilled technicians have also switched to Meilin Minsheng Company.
These would have caused concerns among small and medium shareholders, but another major shareholder far away in the United States turned a deaf ear. The French government had to remain silent due to the face of the US government. The joining of a large number of French workers made the company's arms business even more prosperous, but the profits were made much less than before when using Chinese workers alone.
The French Navy's order for simple aircraft carriers was completed by this time. It is puzzling that the shipyard in Cherbourg also left the MMP Military Industry Group and turned into a Dutch shipyard.
Now, the skilled Chinese workers there are still building simple aircraft carriers, and no one knows who customized the ships produced this time. But these ships are built larger and seem to be able to carry more aircraft.
What no one actually knows is that in addition to the assets of Merlin Minsheng Company, which was transferred to Cather Merlin as president, a large number of precision lathes and other complete sets of machinery are being transported to Cherbourg. These ships and a large number of Chinese workers rely on when they return to China, which are now under construction, with as many as 20 simple aircraft carriers with a load of 5,000 tons at a time.
Due to the completion of various undertakings, the considerable affairs of the Chinese Baath Party have now been transferred to the execution of a powerful civil society, the Chinese Association.
It can be said that if anyone from the East does not join the Chinese Guild Hall for protection and arrangements, then Europe and America will not be able to have a place to settle down.
Especially when the radio stations established by European countries are more or less controlled by them to a considerable amount of equity, this force is so strong that the governments of some countries begin to worry.
However, these groups that are mainly Chinese who are increasingly investing in public welfare undertakings are not that easy to mess with.
With the end of various European projects, groups of returning students embarked on the way home. Top scientific researchers, including Wang Zhu, Ba Tamamo, Wang Xiaofeng, etc., left Europe in batches for Batavia.
After international students and skilled technicians came here, they were surprised to find that this place had prepared them the opportunity to start a business.
A large number of Chinese-established companies require engineers, technicians and managers. In addition, some veterans of Thunder International also took out their own pensions to start more companies and act as suppliers of Iron Wing Company. In this regard, international students were surprised to find that what they learned had a place to use.
However, at this time, some bad things happened, that is, steel. As the demand for steel for civilian use increased sharply, steel began to lack here, and Australian businessmen took the opportunity to increase the price of steel.
Fortunately, before the development of Batavia, the Executive Committee of the Chinese Baath Party had long considered this situation. While resigning as the general manager of the MMP Military Industry Group, Li Shi boarded an airship to Batavia. Cai Yuanpei's school in France was also handed over to the Chinese Guild Hall to take over.
However, he did not go to Batavia, but took a large airship to Beijing. He also accompanied him to famous professors invited to European countries and a large number of books and scientific research equipment.
Even these things are so large that they are specially transported by a large airship. Cai Yuanpei also has a check of 10 million US dollars with him.
With these, Cai Yuanpei will take over as the president of Peking University. If we talk about his influence in the past, these things can be imagined, but we will never get them. Everything he has now is a gift from the Chinese Guild Hall, which has already spread across Europe and America.

In the past, he did not congratulate him for his position as president of Peking University, and he also mentioned many reasons that Cai Yuanpei almost agreed with.
Tang Yunyang put forward an opinion of "wide entry and strict exit", which means that the score line for the Peking University entrance examination does not have to be too high, but the academic requirements should be of a considerable level when leaving school to prevent cheating during daily exercises.
In particular, cheating and plagiarism should be a bad habit that Peking University and all universities in China should try to eliminate. It is recommended to be expelled from the school directly.
At the same time, it is necessary to adhere to high standards and high quality in selecting teachers and educating people. Although Cai Yuanpei has some opinions, Tang Yunyang's words in his letter must make him think more.
"... Otherwise, it would never be possible to compete with one of the Westerners!"
The above opinions and truths are fine, not something that cannot be accepted. But his opinions below made Cai Yuanpei feel whether Chairman Tang was too arbitrary and whether the methods were too tough.
For example, Tang Yunyang suggested that he should focus on absorbing the advantages worth learning from among excellent universities in various countries to completely transform Peking University. At the same time, he hoped to pay attention to the famous German educator William Humboldt put forward three famous principles on the reform of university education: the principle of unity of independence, freedom and cooperation; the principle of unity of education and research and the principle of scientific unity.
As for the universities around the world that he believes are worth studying, including Harvard University, MIT, Berlin University and even West Point School, all of which are at the forefront.
When Cai Yuanpei had contact with Tang Yunyang, he knew that he had almost no knowledge of other disciplines except for his little experience in military equipment.
How he said so many things, if he guessed correctly, it would be the suggestion of Jane Merlin, Nancy Green, and even Li Shizeng.
The most exaggerated thing is that he used the following method to solve the resistance he might encounter when improving.
