In a short period of time, it is almost impossible for Nyasaland to surpass Britain and Germany, which are maritime powers, in battleships, but there is still a slight possibility in destroyers, submarines, and aircraft, which have not yet shown their value, have not attracted the attention of Britain and Germany, and have unlimited potential in the future.

The study of the aircraft proves that Nyasaland may not have the outstanding genius of the Wright brothers, but there is a lot of strength, and Roque, with his strong capital, can easily form a team composed of more ordinary R&D personnel, which has formed an advantage over the Wright brothers to a large extent.

The prominent role of genius is actually more in project design, Edison has so many inventions in his life, many of which are researched by Edison's laboratory, strictly speaking, more honors should belong to those unknown R & D personnel, but the patent rights are in the hands of Edison, even Nikola Tesla, a genius has to live in the shadow of Edison for the rest of his life, this is the power of capital.

Roque's strength is only stronger than Edison's, so don't look at the Wright brothers' aircraft is very high-profile, but in terms of performance, it is now lagging behind Nyasaland's aircraft.

At least the Wright brothers' current aircraft is still stuck on how to use more wings against the drag of the air, and Nyasaland has begun research on biplanes.

The reason why Nyasaland was able to quickly surpass the Wright brothers in aircraft research has a lot to do with the better resources that Nyasaland has.

For a very simple reason, the Wright brothers only increased the area of the wing to provide a more stable flight attitude for the aircraft, but the Wright brothers had all kinds of whimsical ideas, but there were no corresponding materials to support their research.

Nyasaland engineers wanted to get lighter, stronger steel, so Favardt Steel Plant quickly sent samples, although the weight strength of the samples was not satisfactory to the Nyasaland engineers, but Favardt Steel Plant immediately promised to make improvements in this area and fully cooperate with Nyasaland's research.

Can the Wright brothers get Carnegie Steel to cooperate with their research?

Don't even think about it!

Again, this is the power of capital.

"The research and development of submarines is not enough, we do not have enough engineers, and now we are focusing more on destroyers, and the submarines can only be demonstrated, and have not yet entered the verification stage." Jimmy Hodgson is a little embarrassed, this is the biggest dilemma in Nyasaland right now, Roque has money and strength, but still can't bring enough talent to Nyasaland.

The allure of money for ordinary people is not bad, for the real top talents, the allure of money is insignificant, after all, the real top talents are valued by all countries in the world, and they can enjoy no less than Nyasaland treatment in their own countries, so for so long, Nyasaland has really gotten the top talent Abu.

If Professor Abu succeeds, Nyasaland will have no chance.

Roque also knew about this situation, so he did not force it, if Nyasaland wants to really rise, it still has to wait for the large-scale emergence of the talents it has cultivated, or wait for the start of the First World War, when all European countries are in war, many people will flee Europe, and Nyasaland will have a real chance at that time.

Roque visited the first destroyer under construction at the shipyard in Ulysses, according to international practice, this class of destroyers is the Beihai class, the first ship "Beihai", the future will be the flagship of the Nyasaland Marine Police in the North Sea, her sister ship "East Lake" has not yet started construction, and only after the "North Sea" is completed, these workers will go to East Lake to participate in the construction of the "East Lake".

It can also be seen from this that Nyasaland has a shortage of skilled workers.

This can't be blamed on the shipyard for not doing its best, Nyasaland's shipbuilding industry is also from scratch, from the very beginning can only build fishing boats, and then began to build merchant ships, migrant ships, and marine police ships, which has accumulated so many hundreds of skilled workers, Roque wants to train more skilled workers through the construction of destroyers, but this also takes time.

In terms of ship construction, Roque can actually give a lot of improvement plans, such as the segmented manufacturing method, or the module manufacturing method, which are absolutely advanced technologies now, and they are not impossible to achieve, these methods are more of an improvement in the production process, and the technology is not unrealizable.

However, it doesn't make much sense to use those advanced technologies now, and the main problem of the Nyasaland shipyard is not that the technology is not advanced enough, but that there are not enough skilled workers, which is the crux of the problem, so Roque can only wait now.

Fortunately, Roque still has time.

In the evening, Roque's dinner was settled at the Ulysses Shipyard, near the North Sea, and the dinner at the Ulysses Shipyard was not bad, with a good variety of fresh fish.

"Although the North Sea is half of our and Tanganyika's family, the Germans prefer to be farmers on land rather than to come to the North Sea to be fishermen, so the Germans are seriously underexploited the fishery resources in the North Sea. Jimmy Hodgson is quite satisfied with this.

The reason for this is of course related to some reasons that cannot be explained.

The vast majority of police ships in the North Sea are from Nyasaland, and when the Nyasaland Marine Police ships patrol the North Sea, they encounter Tanganyika fishing boats, and many times they greet them in a way that even Jimmy Hodgson is embarrassed to say.

There are still many accidents in this era, and fishing boats certainly don't have the luxury of installing radios, so there is no way to call for help when they are in an accident, and the size of the marine police boat is fast, and when it passes by the fishing boat at high speed, the waves can directly overturn the fishing boat.

After several times, there are even fewer Tanganyika fishing boats, which are already very small, and the remaining fishing boats rarely go to sea to fish, and even if they do, they only dare to appear in the waters near Usunbra.

So although the North Sea is half of Nyasaland and Tanganyika, it is now Nyasaland that monopolizes the entire North Sea's fishing resources.

In fact, the North Sea is a huge treasure trove, and if Nyasaland is not rich in fishing resources, then the population of Nyasaland will not increase so quickly.

The abundance of aquatic products provides sufficient nutrition for Nyasaland and at the same time generates more economic income, and the canning factories in Nyasar Lake, North Sea and East Lake are all very popular in Europe, and although most of the money earned is taken by the small si, the workers in the canning factory also receive enough wages to support their families.

That's enough, Roque can't make all the money in the world, and he still has to leave a way for others to live.

"Fishery resources should be used wisely—" Roque had wanted to remind Jimmy Hodgson to plan for the development of fishery resources, but he immediately came to his senses.

Before the Chinese came to Nyasaland, the total population of Nyasaland was less than 100,000, and the local Africans probably never ate fish because there were too many fish bones in the fish, so the fish in Lake Nyasaland, the North Sea, and the East Lake had a tendency to overflow.

As a result, the Chinese came to Nyasaland and were simply crazy, when it came to eating fish, the Chinese were too experienced, steamed, braised peppers, chopped peppers, hodgepodge, only unthinkable and impossible, the Nyasaland Agricultural Company was originally relying on such an inconspicuous subordinate department of the aquatic company to help many Chinese through the most difficult stage of immigration.

For Nyasaland now, the fishery resources of Lake Nyassa and the North Sea and East Lake are also almost unlimited, and before the population exceeds one million, Roque does not have to consider the issue of rational development of resources, even if all the Chinese are allowed to eat, it will take decades to eat all the fish in Lake Nyasa and the North Sea and East Lake.

Roque had planned to stay in Ulysses for a week, but the next day Roque had to return to Little Rock.

The Germans reacted more than Roque had imagined, and the clash between the Water Hound and the Weissmann was a wake-up call for the Germans, who were finally beginning to face up to the growing threat from Nyasaland.

Of course, for the Germans, the means of choice were extremely limited, and if the Germans could successfully assemble the Count Gotzen, then they could also deal with the threat of Nyasaland to a certain extent.

It's a pity that the Count Gotzen was forced to stop work halfway through the formation, and there was almost no possibility of resuming work, and it was impossible for the Germans to send another Count Gotzen over, so the Germans had to think of other ways.

It's not that the Germans are incapable, but they don't dare to send it, what if they send another Count Gotzen over, and it is halfway through the assembly and forced to stop work?

Not to mention the loss of labor and money, it is also a heavy blow to the morale of Tanganyika.

That is why the German government is now preparing to send a foreign minister to visit Nyasaland.

The foreign minister's visit was not a good thing for Nyasaland, and the last time Wilhelm II visited Morocco, it triggered the "Moroccan crisis" that affected most of Europe.

Now that the German foreign minister is going to visit Nyasaland, he has a problem for Roque, and if Nyasaland does not allow him to come, it will be rude and unconfident.

If it is allowed, the consequences will be more serious, what does the British government think? What does the Belgian government think? There is also Noda, a Portuguese East Africa, and now only Lorenço Marques is left, what does Portugal think?

These are all questions that Roque has to consider.
