Everyone knows that the snake-like Marquise of Cyric was betrayed by Sophia, and everyone also knows that she was killed by a killer sent by Tang Mo.
But everyone remained silent, as if this incident had not happened at all. Cyric was building airports all over the world, and various countries were also building similar airport runways in their own countries.
This emerging infrastructure is still a blank in the world, but when they began to welcome pilots who graduated and returned to their respective countries, these countries also started the infrastructure construction mode.
It is hard to imagine that more than 200 airports have been constructed all over the world at once. Whether they are civilian or military, everyone is very keen on developing this brand-new weapons facility.
It turns out that airship production factories have begun to renovate one after another, and countries that have obtained aircraft manufacturing technology are manufacturing their own aircraft non-stop.
The biplane, two-seater aircraft has become everyone's favorite model to produce, because this aircraft can serve as a training aircraft and can be used to train pilots on a large scale.
In addition, countries that have obtained large biplanes have also impatiently begun to put such aircraft into transportation.
Some important letters, objects, and people can be transported by this kind of aircraft. For a time, similar aircraft can be seen flying in the skies of many countries.
The Emperor of the Lions Empire, Lions I, coquettishly reviewed his newly established air force in his capital, Lions.
When he saw 32 bi-wing, two-seater training aircraft flying over his head, he became excited.
He had seen those scrawled and unclear videos of planes active on the battlefield, but they were not as exciting as today.
More than thirty planes flew across the sky, which also made the civilians of Lanes Imperial City excited. They were happy to see their motherland become so powerful.
"We are copying the tanks of the Tang Dynasty and making some modifications to them. We have strengthened the front and side armor of the tanks, redesigned the road wheels... and equipped our tanks with a 90 mm caliber cannon."
Officials from the military industry department confidently reported the results of their work to the excited emperor.
Because of the industrial foundation in Bunas, the industrial strength of the Lions Empire is actually very high. Although those factories and equipment have not been improved or updated for a long time, they are still the most advanced processing equipment in the world.
With these factories, Lines' industrial production capacity was quite strong. They copied tanks and even had the strength to make some design improvements.
Although there are no qualified communication radios installed on the tanks, these tanks of the Lions Empire surpass the Tang Army's No. 4 tanks in terms of firepower and protection.
"Very good, how is the mass production of the tank going?" Lions I withdrew his gaze from the sky and looked at the minister and asked.
"The nobles who took over those factories guarantee you that they can provide 10 tanks every month." The official in charge of the military industry department lowered his head and assured.
"It's too slow, it's really too slow." Lions I said very dissatisfied: "Tell them, I want 20 cars a month! Let them find a way to complete it!"
Despite the fact that Lions I spoke with a strong sense of wealth, in fact his treasury has almost been emptied.
The purchase of aircraft technology cost him a total of 30 million gold coins in cash. If he hadn't earned some Tang Yuan by exporting grain and machinery and equipment, he might not be able to afford such a huge sum of money.
Even with the income provided by Bunas, he was still somewhat stretched. Faced with those greedy nobles, Lions I often felt powerless.
Times are changing too fast, and every aspect requires a lot of money to support: his infantry hopes to be equipped with more continuous-fire weapons, which itself is a lot of money.
During the battle between the Tang Kingdom and the Mirage Kingdom, many new weapons were put into experiments, such as anti-aircraft guns, grenades, and landmines...
These weapons all require money to purchase, but which military purchase does not cost money today? The purchase of aircraft requires money, and the training of pilots requires money! The purchase of tanks also requires money, and the training of tank pilots naturally also requires money! Battleships
The purchase of weapons also requires money, and the training of sailors must also cost money.
The submachine guns being designed cost money, the grenades being mass-produced also cost money, landmines cost money, anti-aircraft guns cost money, ammunition and artillery shells... none of them are cheap!
If you don’t want to buy it, that’s fine. Anyway, the empire next door wants to buy it. This is an all-round arms race. Those who are unwilling to spend money will become the losers in the next war.
Countries equipped with dozens of airships were very depressed to find that all their airships were outdated, and those giant floating behemoths had to be retired, and all the millions of gold coins they spent on purchasing them were in vain.
Similarly, the emergence of aircraft and battleships has also made previously mass-produced cruisers and destroyers obsolete. They must either be returned to the factory for modification and upgrade, or they can only be relegated to the second line and used as offshore gunboats.
The outdated and old forts in the past need to be upgraded, and the fragile port needs larger and more powerful cannons to strengthen its protection.
At the same time, a large number of areas need to build airports, set up ground command centers, and equip countless aircraft.
Even though these aircraft, which only require wood and canvas skins, are not expensive, they cannot support the large quantities purchased.
According to the contract, all countries that purchase aircraft technology are required to send personnel to the Longdao factory to learn aircraft production technology.
At the same time, Datang Group also provides supporting production equipment, production drawings of aero engines, and training and teaching on lift and other theories.
After these technicians returned to their respective countries, the first batch of aircraft manufacturing factories were born. Everyone was crazy about manufacturing aircraft, and some countries placed orders for thousands of aircraft in one go.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even though everyone knows that the performance of these aircraft is actually outdated, in order to understand the technology and train new pilots, everyone can only bite the bullet and build these wood
airplane.
At the same time, engineers who had a thorough understanding of early aircraft technology began their own creative development.
Some factories have developed triplanes with better lift, while others have begun to enhance their engines and try to install new engines with greater horsepower into the aircraft.
Cyric's engineers were more direct. They began to imitate the metal fuselage, preparing to copy the Tang Dynasty's metal lower single-wing propeller fighter, and directly upgraded their products to a technical level close to the Tang Dynasty's current fighter jets.
For a time, all kinds of weird aircraft came out one after another, and it was like a chaotic chaos. However, many pilots who returned to China said that the best aircraft they had ever flown was the original and authentic "Camel" fighter jet.
They miss the time of flying this single-seat fighter jet and fighting with their instructors in the sky. In their opinion, that feeling couldn't be more comfortable.
In fact, the arrival of airplanes not only expands the war that originally belonged to the ground to the sky, but this ability to fly has also upgraded countries' understanding of the world they live in in many ways.
With airplanes, more detailed and accurate maps can be drawn more conveniently, and maps of countries around the world are no longer primitive and almost unusable.
Referring to the leaked military maps of the Tang Dynasty, various countries began to use aerial photography to draw accurate maps of their own countries.
Everyone has also begun to have a deeper understanding and understanding of their own land. Everyone is inspecting their own territory in detail, and it has become a fashion to overlook the earth from the sky.
With airplanes, the mobility of people has increased unprecedentedly. Cyric advisors in the Ice Empire can even take a plane and rush back to Goblin in a week, which was simply impossible in the past.
The record for traveling around the world was broken by an explorer from Dorne, shortening the record by 70 days in one breath!
In fact, his record is not too fast, because if Tang Mo wanted to, he could break his record by just sending out a C47 transport plane. He didn't even need to send out the FW-190 Butcher, that would be too bullying.
It is no joke that the world is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and such changes are also creating astonishing wealth.
Ordinary people work hard, and then exchange the money they earn into lights, radios, bicycles that were unthinkable in the past...
The country's wealth is increasing at an unprecedented rate, and the money originally hidden by the nobles is rolling out at an alarming rate. Once this money is circulated, everyone seems to become a beneficiary in an instant.
The lives of common people are getting better, the wealth of nobles, landlords and businessmen is increasing, the country's taxes are soaring, and a huge amount of wealth is gathered into the hands of the country and is consumed at an alarming rate...
The aristocrats, merchants, landlords and plutocrats who originally controlled the means of production and wealth were shocked to find that all their original economic theories had collapsed and were replaced by a more advanced operating model.
This is a process that makes them painful and happy. Because they have never thought that making money is so easy, and at the same time, they have to accept the fact that spending money is also so easy.
"I understand, Your Majesty. I will go to Bunas immediately to supervise the production of these people." The minister nodded slightly to Lions I, and retreated quietly when he saw him waving his hand.
Lions I walked back to his palace, which was built by Datang Group. It is extremely gorgeous and can definitely be regarded as a symbol of Lions’ imperial power.
The place where he stood just now was just the outermost office area of the palace. Going further inside was his castle.
