When they woke up in the morning, Li Ningyu and Louis dressed up and went to the palace to have breakfast.
During the dinner, Li Ningyu naturally chatted with William II about their affairs. The African artery plan had been finalized before the wedding. The total planned investment was 1.8 billion pounds and it was planned to be completed and opened to traffic within five years. Investments in the Far East, the United Kingdom, and Germany
600 million, each section is named after three of them.
The name of Far East Investment is: Huanyu Line; Britain: Edward Line; Germany: Wilhelm Line, full name: African Union Artery.
However, the Far East Group could not afford such a huge investment for a while, but in the end there was a solution to the matter. In fact, Li Ningyu originally planned to invest in the military purchase gold obtained from Saudi Arabia, but as
The domestic situation and the outbreak of the Second Northeast War.
A lot of wealth that Li Ningyu had not noticed at first came to light one after another, the most important of which was the large amount of royal wealth at the end of the late Qing government.
After the Eight-Power Allied Forces incident, with the support of the Far East, Emperor Guangxu was regarded as the real emperor. This made him extremely grateful to Li Ningyu, so after the end of the Qing Dynasty, he took the initiative to contribute most of the wealth of the Qing Dynasty.
The first is to show goodwill to Li Ningyu, after all, he will rely on Li Ningyu's protection in the future; the second is to provide help to the Far East with the mentality of both prosperity and loss.
Over the years, the financial resources of the Far East have been in a state of half-measures. On the one hand, it needs to develop its military power and on the other hand, it needs to build places. Therefore, no matter how much money it has, it will never be enough.
With the gold sponsorship from Emperor Guangxu and Duleazi, there was no shortage of money to build the main artery in the Far East. However, a long time ago, Li Ningyu heard a story, and the protagonist in this story was a pig.
A large breeding base, where pigs are raised scientifically, and food is automatically distributed at fixed times every day. Each pig has its own identification mark. There is a little pig named Dudu who eats a lot and can't get enough to eat every day, so
He just started thinking about how to solve his stomach problem, and soon he finally came up with an idea.
That is, when other pigs use the identification mark to open the food distribution port, he will go to other pigs to eat a little, and eat several places. After eating until he is half full, he will open his own.
So Li Ningyu complained about all the difficulties in the Far East to his new and old father-in-law. Finally, William II, coaxed and coaxed by Li Ningyu, agreed to give the Far East a sum of 3 billion marks, to be repaid in five years.
The interest-free loan made Li Ningyu happy for a while, because the exchange ratio between marks and pounds was three to one, and one billion pounds was definitely a huge sum of money.
However, William II was not a fool. He also had his own conditions. When he proposed to expand the leased area in China, he was bluntly rejected by Li Ningyu.
At that time, the domestic situation was a confrontation between North and South, and Li Ningyu was also considering when the Far East should intervene. Naturally, he would not agree to William II's request, and he could not agree.
There are some things that Li Ningyu will never use as a bargaining chip. It is not that Far East will not be able to govern the country in the future, but that he will never have that right. Since ancient times, emperors have changed one after another, and dynasties have changed.
One after another, territory is sacred sovereignty, which Li Ningyu never dares to forget.
William II was not very satisfied with Li Ningyu's character and performance attitude. However, with the outbreak of the Second Northeast War and the debut of the Far East Air Force, countries around the world went crazy, and William II was no exception.
Because no one could have imagined that mankind’s dream of flying has long been realized, and the Far East will also use this weapon in actual combat. At the same time, it also directly overtakes the airships currently owned by various countries. A new world view suddenly appeared. At the beginning, there were
Some countries did not believe it because it was an exaggeration, but with the situation of the Second Northeast War, everyone was blinded.
This is why, for the wedding of Li Ningyu and Princess Louise, no one from all over the world was absent. Even the Minister of Tsarist Russia, who had old grudges with the Far East, arrived in Berlin.
These days, the two combat models of the Far East Air Force have been a topic on the lips of ministers from various countries. Sometimes they even tout the Far East fighter jets. However, more countries have stepped up their contacts with the Far East, hoping to purchase them.
A group of planes were sent, but Li Ningyu refused because he was busy preparing for a wedding recently.
However, other countries are not discouraged. After all, airplanes are a good thing. They are waiting for Li Ningyu's wedding to be over. Then Li Ningyu will no longer be able to refuse them.
But Li Ningyu had already had a countermeasure in mind. After all, once the aircraft was sold to various countries, they could quickly copy it. This hard-won lead for the Far East was once again evaporated.
But among all countries, excluding Germany and the United Kingdom, after the debut of the Far East Air Force, William II and Edward VII respectively proposed to Li Ningyu that they wanted to customize orders for two types of Far East aircraft.
At first, Li Ningyu used some common excuses, but then the two of them got closer step by step, and Li Ningyu finally had to agree, after all, it was not the time to fall out with them yet.
In fact, the first generation fighter jet in the Far East was a two-seat training aircraft, and there was nothing special about its layout. However, after all, it perfectly combined new aviation technologies. It first adopted advanced laminar flow airfoils and a highly concise aircraft.
The body design and the equipment layout inside the aircraft are reasonable, which can greatly reduce the aerodynamic resistance. With the reasonable design of size and weight, the speed is three times that of the bomber.
At present, the maximum range of the trainer aircraft can reach 570 kilometers, which is enough to cover the longest range attack of the Z-40 bomber.
The performance of the Z-40 bomber is very different from that of the trainer aircraft. First, the flight altitude is 500 meters higher than that of the trainer aircraft. A series of improvements are made based on the trainer aircraft, including the use of a lightweight body, new propeller blades, and a semi-vision plastic cockpit.
The cover further improves its performance and maneuverability, with a maximum speed of 108 kilometers per hour, a length of 13 meters, a wingspan of 19.3 meters, an empty weight of 3.9 tons, a take-off weight of 15.02 tons, and a maximum range of 650 kilometers.
However, since it is going to be sold, Li Ningyu will also have a set of countermeasures, such as replacing the existing advanced technology, delaying the delivery time, allowing Far East to have more similar models, etc.
However, everything has pros and cons, and with the future direction, the long-lost behemoth in Li Ningyu's heart has now taken a prototype, and its name is the aircraft carrier battle group.
