At the moment in 1909, the so-called air show actually did not have any stunts to speak of.

The flight show of this period is mainly to show the stability of the aircraft, as long as it can fly, fly steadily, the longer the flight time, the better, just a month ago, the elder brother of the Wright brothers Wilbur Wright set off from Governors Island, New York, flew about the Hudson River, arrived at the tomb of General Grant and returned, such a performance without any stunts, just flying smoothly, and then successfully flying back was described as a feat by the world.

The previous series of professional performances of the southern African flight team simply raised the expectations of the people who eat melons for the "strong wind".

Therefore, when the "strong wind" took off, it only bumped a little, which caused a huge exclamation from the melon-eating masses.

"Are you going to fail?" Eddie Johnston was finally nervous at this point, but the unprofessional question immediately attracted a lot of curtains.

"It's just a regular operation-" Stuart Coffey was also nervous, his hands clenched into fists on his chest and prayed a little cute, if this action appeared on a little girl, then it would be very eye-catching, but it appeared on a greasy middle-aged fat man with severe hair loss and severe body fat-

Well, it's actually a bit cute, and it's cute in contrast!

It was indeed just a routine operation, the "strong wind" was just a bump, and then Lin Chengzhi pulled up the nose of the plane, and the "strong wind" took off smoothly, and then began to climb at an almost vertical angle.

This is almost certainly only for the perspective of the ground audience, although Lin Chengzhi's "strong wind" has simplified all unnecessary parts in order to pursue better performance, and only carries a small amount of oil, but the current engine technology is not good, and the "strong wind" still can't do vertical climbing.

However, this is enough to surprise the melon-eating masses at the scene, especially for those so-called "pilots" in the industry, the performance of the "strong wind" just flying is amazing enough.

The result is even more amazing is still to come, only after a few seconds of climbing, and then the "strong wind" began to enter the level flight state, under normal circumstances, as long as it can fly stably and successfully demonstrate the stability of the aircraft, but for pilots in southern Africa, if they don't play some tricks at this time, they are simply sorry for the pilot profession, so the strong wind suddenly came to a side roll without any warning.

After a second of silence at the scene, the "strong wind" has re-entered the state of level flight, and then the melon-eating crowd broke out into a huge exclamation and warm applause.

Then, the applause never stopped.

Lin Chengzhi probably has been unhappy with the so-called "pilots" touted by the media for a long time, so he has a bit of a show of skill, and after rolling on his side, he began to circle, and then began to dive again, passing at a low altitude and high speed less than 100 meters above the southern African flight team, and the roar of the engine could not cover the enthusiastic applause and huge cheers of the melon-eating crowd.

God knows that southern Africa is in that corner of the earth, but the fact that human aircraft can fly freely in the sky is the conquest of the sky by all mankind.

From then on, the world is no longer a two-dimensional plane for human beings, but has begun to enter a three-dimensional space, which is the glory of all mankind.

Therefore, the cheers of the people eating melons at the scene are getting louder and louder, and even the police dogs, who have been working calmly, are bouncing around.

But they certainly weren't happy, but they weren't used to the loud noise of aircraft engines.

The calmest people in the audience are probably Xu Xiu and Ethan.

In other words, the most disappointed people in the audience are probably Xu Xiu and Ethan.

This kind of opportunity to be in the limelight actually has a chance to belong to Xu Xiu and Ethan, but it's a pity that Lin Chengzhi's body doesn't have any problems-

This thought only flashed in the minds of Xu Xiu and Ethan, and then the two began to evaluate Lin Chengzhi's flight status.

"This one isn't good enough, and the smoke isn't round enough—"

The "strong wind" in the sky began to pull smoke, and the red smoke formed an almost perfect semicircle in the sky, in terms of flight technology, Lin Chengzhi was already outstanding among everyone, but in Xu Xiu's opinion, it should be better.

"Circling low is still not low enough, it should be better to reduce it a little more-"

The main advantage of propeller aircraft is low altitude and low speed, which is the so-called dog fighting, of course, the current aircraft has not yet entered the category of air combat, and the related tactics are not even shadowed, but Nyasaland has begun to study this area, low-altitude dog fighting, and dual-aircraft tactics have already taken shape, which is also the pilot's favorite project.

"If you go any lower, you're going to hit the treetops, do you want to attend someone's memorial service?" Stuart Coffey is very angry, the technicians pursue stability in flight, but the pilots always like to play some dangerous maneuvers, the Nyasaland pilot has had a number of accidents during the test flight, although this is inevitable, but every accident, will make Stuart Coffey heartbroken.

Especially for those accidents caused by the pilot's dangerous actions, every time the pilot takes a test flight, Stuart Coffey will give a thousand instructions, but as long as these daring guys fly into the blue sky, Stuart Coffey's advice will become a deaf ear.

"Haha, we're just talking—"

"Don't take it seriously, if I were to fly, I wouldn't do any dangerous moves-"

Xu Xiu and Ethan immediately played haha.

"Don't worry, we'll have countless air shows in the future, and you'll all have a chance to fly into the sky." Stuart Coffey can actually understand the mood of Xu Xiu and Ethan, they are both young people in their early twenties, and they are sorry for their age if they don't have a little vigor and sharpness.

It was indeed a young man, and Xu Xiu and Ethan immediately danced with their eyebrows.

For the melon-eating masses at the scene, the short half-hour flight show was simply fleeting.

But half an hour is nothing short of an ordeal for other pilots.

The so-called "feat" of the Wright brothers was only carried out for 33 minutes.

And for the "strong wind", half an hour is obviously not the limit, so Lin Chengzhi was still a little unsatisfied when he jumped out of the cockpit.

Then there was even louder cheers and even louder applause.

The French girls were so enthusiastic, two girls gave Lin Chengzhi flowers, and one of the girls kissed Lin Chengzhi on the face, and then Lin Chengzhi looked a little dizzy.

The show was clearly a success, and although the goal of flying over the English Channel was not yet accomplished, someone came to the camp of the Southern African Flying Team that night to come to Stuart Coffey and ask for the price of the "strong wind".

It's still several batches of people.

Governments are indeed paying more and more attention to the importance of aircraft, especially France and Italy, both of which are very enthusiastic about aircraft, and on the evening of the end of the air show, some French officials and Italian officials expressed their desire to buy "strong wind" aircraft, and they want to buy the kind of fighter jets with weapons.

At this time, the "strong wind" has not yet shown its weapon performance, but the French government and the Italian government can't wait.

Stuart Coffey is not in a hurry, Roque has priced "Strong Wind" a bit high, and if you quote it now, I am afraid it will scare people away, or will it be more worth the money after "Strong Wind" continues to show greater value.

When the news reached Nyasaland, Roque was not surprised by the attention that "strong winds" were getting.

It is gold that always shines, and now it is only the "strong wind" that the small lotus shows its sharp corners, and when the world war breaks out, the "strong wind" will usher in a bigger stage, and no matter how much Roque quotes to the "strong wind", the participating countries will pinch their noses and accept it.

Even if it is to be the underwear, it can only be accepted.

Roque was still concerned about Elizabeth's oil.

In order to get Elizabeth's oil back to southern Africa, the shipyard in Port Edward has been working hard to produce freighters recently, and the research and development department is also working on tankers with larger payloads specifically designed to transport oil.

There is no mature technology to learn from here, everything has to be started from scratch, the shipyard trial production of a 5,000-ton tanker, the result of which the hull deformed during the sea trials, experts are working on this problem.

In fact, there is not much demand for oil in southern Africa at present, and the demand for oil transported by cargo ships can also be met in southern Africa.

However, Roque's goal is obviously not limited to meeting the needs of southern Africa, after the outbreak of the world war, Europe with the advancement of the war, the demand for oil will become more and more urgent, if southern Africa has a strong oil transportation capacity, then the oil can be sold to Europe, Europe colonized the world for hundreds of years to earn money, rather than cheaper to the United States, it is better to benefit southern Africa.

At least Southern Africa is still a Commonwealth country, and the United States is now an independent country.

"Elizabeth has discovered a second oil field, and now we have 50,000 tons of oil per day, and we have to build more oil depots to store oil, which will become our strategic reserves, and if there is a war in Africa in the future, then even if southern Africa is blocked, we can continue to fight." Roque's starting point is, of course, for the sake of war, but it is inconvenient for the subject to say too clearly.

In this era, it has the ability to blockade southern Africa, in fact, it is the United Kingdom, don't look at Germany's ambitions, but in the ocean, the British Empire is still the undisputed number one in the world, so Ade's gaze at Roque is a little complicated, although now that southern Africa has also been autonomous, but Ade never thought that Britain would also become the enemy of southern Africa one day in the future.

Nor can Roarke explain that in the next few decades, Britain will lose its current maritime superiority, so strategic reserves will be important at all times.
