On this very day, a group of White Russians suddenly left the New Roman military camp near the Carnival Hotel.

They drove to Lincolnshire's Amy Grant Valley, more than a hundred kilometers from Las Vegas.

The barren valley is overgrown with vegetation, and Marcheno, who has personally observed the terrain, has found this to be a very suitable place for the project.

Because it's a secret and ownerless.

But beyond the valley lies the endless desert and the mountains that no one can climb, and in a word, there is nothing to do here but to house the business of airplanes.

"But how does Charlie know?"

Marchenno couldn't figure it out, but he thought that the guy had even been to the sky, so he didn't think about it.

After getting Marcheno's specific description of the environment, Han Huaiyi directly asked for it to Said.

"I need Congressman James to take this area for New Rome as a Tesla research base for the real PTR."

Sauld was selected as an inspector in army aviation, and he was naturally not a mediocre person.

He observed the situation over there and said, "Charlie, I must warn you that it will be extremely inconvenient to transport construction materials if you choose to be there, and Mr. James may or may not help you, this is not something I can control." ”

"The first problem is easy to solve, and I have the Chinese labor organization of the San Francisco Railroad Authority that can help me. As for the second question. ”

Han Huaiyi pulled out a chair and sat down and said, "He will agree, but you have to make a trip to this matter yourself." ”

Then he took pen and paper and wrote down a plan in front of Syrd.

He put pen to paper and wrote: On the necessity of building up the US Army Aviation Force

In the article, Han Huaiyi expounded on the role that the new thing of aircraft will play in the army's role in local wars, and then discussed the specific significance of this branch of the military for national defense.

In the end, he stressed that the army aviation force must not only be established, but is also destined to evolve into a new branch of the military independent of the land and sea -- the air force.

After the eloquent text was completed in one go, Han Huaiyi put it in the envelope and handed it to the stunned Selder: "There are some things that must be conveyed by you in person, please tell Mr. James that the PTR of New Rome will be the basis of everything, and I promise that I and my allies will firmly support all of Mr. James's decisions, but I hope to be able to get the corresponding convenience." ”

"Understood." After watching Xiongwen from the sidelines, Syrd knew that James would not refuse such a friend unless his brain was in water.

He immediately set off for Washington.

Han Huaiyi continued to work with Tesla and the Wright brothers on the second-generation twin-propeller fighter in the Curtiss factory.

In addition, since he had already fired his first shot, he approved the qualifications of Lesiko and other White Russians to learn to fly airplanes, and the maneuvering of airplanes in this year was not complicated, and Lesiko, who was bold and careful and had excellent physical fitness, would soon be able to soar into the sky.

Eventually, Curtis learned to fly airplanes.

Only the cautious Ford didn't touch it.

In just a week or so, Sayld returned, excitedly telling Han Huaiyi that Mr. James admired his ideas and agreed to his request.

"The Military Council will acquire that land free of charge to Lincolnshire, Nevada, in the name of the Aviation Section, and then transfer it to the New Rome Group, and it will be on paper, and Councillor James has sent someone there to deal with the matter when I depart, which means that you can start work now, Lord Charlie."

"Does he have anything else to say to me?"

"He's looking forward to meeting you soon. I can see that your plan really touched him. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you, Charlie, who I would not have been able to meet easily if it weren't for being your messenger, and he is satisfied with the results of my work, and it is estimated that it will not be long before you will call me Captain Selder. ”

"Aim a little farther, isn't it good to have a better aspiration, Mr. Colonel Said of the Army Aviation Division, and even His Excellency the Brigadier General of the future United States Air Force?" Han Huaiyi asked with a smile.

He had good intentions, but Said sighed: "Charlie, there is quite seniority in the army. ”

"But it's more meritorious, let's wait and see."

As they spoke, the No. 1 whizzed across the sky above them, its sharp wings shattering Said's melancholy in an instant.

Yes, I'm behind New Rome!

"You'll help me, won't you?" He asked Han Huaiyi, and Han Huaiyi said: "What kind of, we will always help each other, okay, let's work, boy." ”

With Congressman James's efforts, on July 7, 1905, Nevada's once peaceful and peaceful valley was greeted by a huge army of Chinese workers.

The team leader Feng Caihou.

On this very day, the twin-engine aircraft was built.

After meticulous testing and inspection, Han Huaiyi invited friends and relatives such as Ford and Victor on July 10.

When the white-painted TC002 was removed from the hangar by Lesicot, it was discovered that the twin-engine aircraft was one-third larger and 0.5 meters taller than the No. 1 aircraft.

In addition, it was equipped with a machine gun model in the nose, and a bomb suspension system was placed under the wings.

Of course, guns and bombs are models.

However, model bombs can be dropped, and the long, narrow glass bottle with a tail is filled with a blue liquid, and it will be dyed with a logo when it lands.

The test flight was still a success.

And because of the addition of a radio call system, the pilot can communicate with the ground in a timely manner.

When Han Huaiyi, as the commander, gave the order to dive, pull, circle, and drop bombs to Lesiko, Lesiko was able to receive the information in time and give feedback.

Looking at this scene, Saïd couldn't help but be excited when he remembered the "call for air support" mode in the war mentioned by Han Huaiyi in that article.

Han Huaiyi said it very clearly.

The mode of war can henceforth be changed to an air force attack, artillery cover, infantry assault.

If anyone can master this mode first and use it skillfully, even the rebirth of the French Army, which was known as the most powerful army in Europe at the peak of Napoleon, will not be able to resist such an attack.

After Lesiko came down, he excitedly told Han Huaiyi and Tesla that the speed and maneuverability of the twin-engine aircraft were much stronger than that of the single-engine aircraft, and they were also very stable against crosswinds in the air.

The bomb suspension system also worked very well, as evidenced by the bright blue color on the container that was targeted.

There are still 5 days left until the first stop of the national tour.

Han Huaiyi asked Tesla and the Wright brothers: "Can we add an airplane to each tour on the premise of ensuring quality?" ”

"There should be no problem, as long as Mr. Henry's resources can keep up." Truss said truthfully, the materials of the plane are now provided by Detroit, and Ford asked Han Huaiyi what he wanted to do.

Han Huaiyi said with a smile: "The national tour will have a total of ten stops, and I will put the tour in Washington at the last stop. ”
