Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Daxia Empire, capital city.

Lin Yi is very busy recently.

As the situation in Europe becomes increasingly tense, Lin Yi needs to work late every day.

All kinds of information were continuously collected and sent to Fang Xiao.

Then Fang Xiao made a simple classification of the information and forwarded it to Lin Yi.

It wasn't that Fang Xiao couldn't share the burden for Lin Yi, but Lin Yi took the initiative.

Because in addition to military aspects, some of this information is about people's livelihood and technology.

In order to surpass Europe after World War I, Lin Yi needed to always pay attention to the technological trends in Europe and be ready to pick peaches along the way.

After all, some technological inventions may be useless to people today, but they will play a huge role in the future world.

To give a simple example, Maxim was invented as early as the 8s and 90s. However, the American military at that time absolutely rejected it because it was too heavy, cumbersome to operate, and consumed too much ammunition. .

As a result, the heavy machine gun was used by the Hans Empire on the Somme River, which directly caused the astonishing record of wiping out [-] John soldiers in one day, and also changed the way of fighting at that time.

Another example is airplanes.

It was also the American military who came into contact with it first, and finally came to the conclusion that it was just a big toy.

But also since World War I, aircraft have become the decisive factor in winning or losing wars.

Therefore, Lin Yizhen was worried about Fang Xiao when it came to technology.

This is not a problem of Fang Xiao's ability, but a common shortcoming of vision among people of this era.

Just when Lin Yi was looking at the information in his hand, Fang Xiao strode into Lin Yi's study.

"Are you here? Is there anything important?" Lin Yi raised his head and glanced at Fang Xiao, then lowered his head and said.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Rose. She has successfully passed the news to Angras, but she cannot guarantee that Angras will believe it." Fang Xiao did not mince words and told Lin Yi directly about his purpose.

"Is there any news?" After hearing Fang Xiao's words, Lin Yi put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao nodded.

"So where is the rose now?" Lin Yi knew Hannah's entire plan, so he was worried about Hannah's safety.

Although saying this, it may not be fair to Hannah. Let a woman take the risk of inducing the Gallic Empire, which is inherently dangerous.

Later, Xu Changxing reported that Hanna had been exposed and hoped that the empire would come forward to save Hanna.

But Lin Yi directly rejected Xu Changxing's request.

As the prince of the empire, when he controlled the future direction of the entire empire, he knew that he could not be soft-hearted.

Therefore, even though he thought it was dangerous to send Hannah, he still gave Hannah the task of induction, and Hannah was the most suitable candidate.

However, for Lin Yi, being cruel and letting Hannah go does not mean that he does not care about Hannah's safety.

Now that Hannah had successfully completed her mission and escaped, he immediately asked.

"The rose is still in Brussels," Fang Xiao said.

"So how is she doing now?" Lin Yi asked.

"I suffered some skin injuries, nothing serious. I'll just rest for a few days."

Hearing Fang Xiao's answer, Lin Yi nodded, and then said: "Brussels? In Belgium? Why did you end up there?"

Hearing Lin Yi's question, Fang Xiao shook his head and said that he was not sure.

"Okay, arrange a ship to take Rose back home. By the way, I remember, she is General Xue's daughter?" Lin Yi looked at Fang Xiao and asked.

Fang Xiao nodded.

"Then wait until she comes back and change her position. General Xue's health is getting worse now, so let her hide in the empire and stay with General Xue." Lin Yi looked at Fang Xiao and said.

"Yes." Fang Xiao responded, and then he was ready to continue reading the documents in his hand.

The next document was sent to him by Feng Ru from the Aircraft Research Institute.

Feng Ru told Lin Yi in the document that the latest iteration of the aircraft can already maintain the aircraft at an altitude of 300 meters.

In addition, shooting coordinators have also been developed, and current aircraft already have air combat capabilities.

According to the previous plan, Lin Yi needed to send some people to Feng Ru at this time to learn how to fly the plane and become the first batch of pilots.

Seeing this news, Lin Yi was still a little surprised by Feng Ru's research and development speed.

However, now that the coordinator has been developed, it is indeed time to form an air force.

However, Lin Yi has not yet taken a fancy to the candidate for the first Air Force Commander.

Originally he thought he could take on the responsibility himself, but later he found that he had too many things to do and couldn't get away from it.

It can't be said that he put down all the work he was doing and only focused on the Air Force. Isn't this a waste of time?

Therefore, it is best to have someone with an open mind and strong receptivity to keep an eye on the air force for you, while you command remotely from the capital.

In addition, in order to prevent the Air Force from being known to other countries in advance as much as possible, Lin Yi selected the base for the Air Force in the northwest.

Far away from the prosperity of the empire, far away from the hustle and bustle, there is no one there for thousands of miles, and no other countries have any informants there, so only by allowing the air force to train in the northwest region can the best confidentiality be achieved.

However, this also restricted Lin Yi, making it impossible for him to personally take charge of the northwest. After all, although the air force is important, it is not that important compared to the entire empire.

"Fang Xiao, I have a mission here. I need someone with a good brain, unconventional thinking, strong receptivity, and the ability to endure loneliness. What do you recommend for someone who is at the center of the empire?"

Fang Xiao was stunned when he heard Lin Yi's request, but he immediately thought of one person, Ding Yi!

"For those who meet the prince's requirements, my subordinates are currently only thinking of Ding Yi." Fang Xiao said to Lin Yi.

"Ding Yi? Commander of the Eighth Division of the Longxiang Army?"

As soon as Lin Yi heard Fang Xiao mention Ding Yi, Lin Yi immediately thought of this person.

Ding Yi was originally Mo Shoucheng's adjutant and had followed him since Mo Shoucheng was still the regiment leader.

Mo Shoucheng was the regiment commander, and he was the adjutant. Mo Shoucheng became the division commander, and he was the commander of the first regiment of the third division.

Later, the First Army Corps was reorganized into the Longxiang Army, and Ding Yi was promoted to commander of the Eighth Division because of his military merit and Mo Shoucheng's recommendation.

Lin Yi knew that Ding Yi was a very capable and ambitious person with a flexible mind and a very useful talent.

But Lin Yi was not sure what Ding Yi thought of the new air force, so he had no way to determine it directly.

After all, things like the Air Force are rare to people in this world. There is no reference. Even if you want to learn from previous experience, you can't do it.

Therefore, Lin Yi was very cautious about the air force commander.

He felt that at least the commander should not be rigid in his thinking and be good at exploring.

"Go and ask him to come over. I have something I want to talk to him about."

In the end, Lin Yi decided to chat with Ding Yi first.

If appropriate, appoint him as the first Air Force Commander, and don't talk about finding anyone else.
