Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 860 Coming to work by plane

"Really refreshing, I would like to apologize for Hahn's rude and rude behavior, for God's sake he has been punished as he deserves, I hope you will restrain your men from letting things get out of hand and let everything Get back on the right track," said Mr Salisbury, relieving his shock just now.

this age

At the end of the western development of Citiland, the rule of law is chaotic, and gangsters are rampant. Detroit gangsters dare to use rifles and bombs in the city, and even throw bombs into the police station. The hot-tempered cowboys will draw their guns at every turn in the pub. Confrontation is a small matter.

   Li Jianyang was not surprised at all when he saw this scene, and asked lightly, "This is your first time in Hong Kong?"

   "Uh...we just finished our trip in the northern continent, and we only have a few days to arrive in Hong Kong."

   "Did you fully enjoy the respectful treatment of a superior person there, and you can't find Bei?"

   "Sir, I apologize again for Hahn's rude behavior. Please forgive me. He is in urgent need of medical care, and the blood will dry soon."

   "Answer my question, Mr. Salisbury."

   "Uh... yes, Huhai is known as a paradise for foreign adventurers, and we do, um... get over-respected there."

   "Is it a Ku Klux Klan?" Li Jianyang asked again, seeing that the other party was silent, he already knew it.

   At this time, some idle people surrounded the entrance of the western restaurant, and they stretched their heads to look inside. The Chinese people’s disposition to like to watch the excitement was undoubtedly revealed.

   After the incident, the police did not come.

Li Jianyang took a sip of coffee, beckoned the shop owner over, and asked, "Sorry boss, something unpleasant happened in your shop, I want to ask, are the police in Hong Kong so inefficient? "

   "Sir, it also depends on the situation. Generally speaking, the more difficult things are, the efficiency of the police will become very low. After all, no one wants to cause trouble."

   "Understood, thank you, the coffee is good." Li Jianyang took a cigar and said to Salisbury; "Look at the current situation, should we wait for the police to come or send the injured to the hospital first?"

   "Allow me to heal my comrade first, sir."

"Well then, Ah Sheng will help them call two rickshaws, remember to pay for the fare, if Mr. Salisbury has any dissatisfaction with this matter, he can come to the British Barracks to find me, I am Major Li Jianyang, Now you can go away."

Hearing the background of these Chinese, Salisbury's face suddenly darkened. He knew that this justice might be difficult to get back, and it was meaningless to argue here, so he asked the restaurant staff to help his companions to the outside. in the car.

   "Hey, don't forget to take this arm away, it's not a good habit to litter anywhere." Lin Jianyang walked to the door with his broken hand, and threw it on the rickshaw, just like throwing a bag of garbage.

   His behavior made Mr. Salisbury's face dignified, and he couldn't say any extra words. He only spit out the word "thank you", and don't let the rickshaw driver go to the hospital in a hurry.

   As for the Miss Lieberman, who was still shaking uncontrollably, she was helped by the restaurant staff to another rickshaw to be sent away.

   "Master, did we cause you trouble?"

"What nonsense, is the young master a person who is afraid of trouble? Some people are born cheap, these Citi Cowboys with black fingernails ran out to be the uncle, there is something in life that no one teaches, we can't get used to him Such a stinker."

   "Hehehe... Then Ah Sheng and I are going to be rewarded."

   "You can't do without your reward, didn't you see that I ordered a bottle of Scotch whisky? Come on, let's go in and have enough to eat and drink. There's still work to do at night." Li Jianyang finished speaking and took the lead to walk inside.

  Ali and Asheng, the two bodyguards, understood in seconds, and followed behind with a smile.

   This is the usual style of mercenaries. They do things rudely and don't drag on the water at all, cutting off any signs of trouble.

   in the crowd of onlookers outside

Inspector Hua Gao Jiaochan of the Central Police Station brought two plainclothes and turned around when he saw this situation, and his men followed behind him and asked, "Inspector, is this the case? It's not good for foreign superintendents to ask. Handle it!"

   "That's better than being caught in the middle and getting angry. Don't forget that this is a British colony. What can the British do to make irresponsible remarks? We can't get involved in this kind of thing, so we don't see it."

   "The restaurateur..."

   "Let me know in private that if you want to do business with peace of mind, it is better to do less than one thing more."

   "Understood, Inspector."

   "Pu, your mother, you are going out today to see evil spirits. When you go back, you will pay homage to Lord Guan. He will go to the old man's house with a stick of incense to get rid of bad luck."

   Inspector Hua Gaojiaochan muttered to himself, and turned around the street corner with his subordinates and quickly disappeared.

  The streets of Hong Kong are still crowded with people, and the restaurants and bars are filled with the tempting aroma of food and the smell of fireworks.

  This small dispute in Central was like a fine wave in the sea, it dissipated without any waves, and the calmness of the clouds and the sea was restored.

   Li Jianyang fulfilled his new duties in Hong Kong with peace of mind, in the correspondence with Churchill;

   He knew that in today's London political arena, the Conservative Party occupies an absolute dominant position. If there is no accident, it will be able to win the election smoothly, and then form a cabinet to govern, and Churchill is seeking the position of the Conservative Party's Admiralty Secretary and cannot make a mistake.

The close relationship between Churchill and Li Jianyang is his weakness, because it is a relationship full of money, women and interests, the limousine lent by Li Jianyang, the apartment rented by his mistress, the past city of the two in South Africa be targeted by political enemies.

   Therefore, staying in Hong Kong temporarily is a wise choice, which is beneficial to both parties.

   more than a month later

   December 29, 1905

  Tasmania, Tau Semarang Army Experimental Base

One after another, high-ranking officials of the Ministry of War were driven into the heavily guarded experimental base by car after car. Just after Christmas, all the senior officials of the Ministry of War were able to gather on this island, which is called "the end of the world". It is because the T2 tank project called Tianzi No. 1 project has made a breakthrough and major progress.

   Admiral Mo Rufeng had just arrived when he was surrounded by a group of high-ranking officers, saluting in unison.

"Professor Strauss, you really brought us a big surprise!" Admiral Mo Rufeng raised his hand in return, his eyes staring at the chief designer Professor Strauss in the crowd, his face showing a warm expression smile.

"Dear Lord, the progress of the project is indeed unexpectedly smooth. It reached the project design node three months ahead of schedule and produced an experimental prototype vehicle with reliable performance. This depends on the profound technical background accumulated over the past few years. Thank you to my team for their outstanding efforts."

   "Mr. Professor, where is it now?"

"The T2 tank test prototype has passed the rigorous tests of primary and intermediate test subjects and has reached a very high level of maturity. The relevant experimental results are quite gratifying, and have reached or partially exceeded the design indicators. The next step will be high-strength durability. Experiments and tests in harsh climates hope to expose more deficiencies as a basis for improving the design."

   "Okay...very good, I believe this will be a milestone event in the history of our army's armored troops and equipment, and it is worth a big book!" Admiral Mo Rufeng was in high spirits.

   The last T-1 tank development project took several years. It took a lot of research and development funds to develop a nondescript weird thing, and the whole project failed completely.

To this end, more than a dozen senior executives of the research and development department were removed, and dozens of officers were implicated by the accountability system. .

   Now raising your eyebrows, why not make people happy?

A group of senior officers were chatting with each other, when they suddenly heard a strong roar of the engine in the sky, and everyone looked up, only to see a red and white biplane in sight. It became bigger and flew towards the secret base.

  The biplane made a circle in the air, and then began to descend along the flat asphalt road at the base. When it was close to the ground, it lifted slightly, and then landed smoothly on the asphalt road and drove along the road.

This is a two-seater plane. Sitting in the back seat is Major General Bian Chunsong, the honorary first division commander. He has binocular goggles on his face. Come to say hello to a group of senior officers, cracked mouth and smiled happily.

   "This guy really likes new stuff!" Admiral Mo Rufeng also waved his hand in disbelief, indicating that he saw it.

  Biplane is now a very popular sport in Australia. Related private clubs are blooming everywhere. Many ranchers have built a runway and hangar in their ranch. It is really convenient to fly a plane.

   Taking off from Major General Bian Chunsong’s Xingxing Lake Ranch, as long as you cross the Tasmanian Strait, you will arrive at the base. It only takes 15 minutes, which is much faster than taking a boat for several hours.

Compared with ordinary civilian aircraft, the biplane, two-seater aircraft that Major General Bian Chunsong rides has much higher technical content. It belongs to the previous generation product of the Qimarang secret base. It is equipped with an inline eight-cylinder 6.4-liter high-horsepower gasoline engine with a load of 215 kg, the flight speed is 233 kilometers per hour, and it has strong practical performance.

  This biplane cannot be bought from the outside world, it is only produced in small batches for internal use, and the level of confidentiality is high.

  This aircraft represents the most advanced aircraft level in the world today, and has considerable advantages in terms of load and speed compared with the contemporaneous products of Britain, the United States, France and Germany.

This mainly depends on the 6.4-liter in-line 8-cylinder high-horsepower gasoline engine it is equipped with, which is a world-leading aviation power. Cold 8-cylinder engine power.

   There is no doubt that it is far ahead in the field of aircraft research and development.

   The underlying reason is that Ocean Empire attaches great importance to the research and development of aircraft, mobilizes national research and development strength and funds, and carefully cultivates the private aviation market, and is in the forefront of the world in all aspects.

   However, European and American countries such as Britain, France, Germany and the United States have not yet realized the importance of aircraft. They still remain at the level of folk and personal interests and hobbies.

   The gap is highlighted.
