The carriage continued to move forward, Yang Qian, who was ignored by Yang Yuanzhao and the others, looked out the window, a colorful bird, flying by the fan, she almost excitedly shouted: "What a beautiful bird!" ”

Girls seem to be attracted to beautiful things, this is a common problem of girls, Yang Yuanzhao glanced at it, it seemed to be a golden chicken, and said: "Qian'er, do you want me to help you catch it!" ”

Yang Qian's face changed greatly, and said, "Don't want to, how good they are free!" ”

It was a playful girl, but such a sentence came out, which made Yang Yuanzhao helpless, at this time, Yang Qian turned around and asked: "Brother Yuanzhao, you say, can we fly in the sky like birds?" ”

"Of course, of course, there is a kind of machine that can take people and fly in the sky!"

"Really? Is there really a plane that can fly to the sky? Yang Qian's eyes lit up and asked with interest.

"Of course!" Before Yang Yuanzhao could speak, Yang Yue said: "Since 1903, when the Wright brothers invented airplanes, there are now hundreds of flying machines, flying into the sky, they are not hot air balloons or the like, they are real, heavier than air planes?" ”

"That's right, Xiaoqian, if you have the opportunity, I will let you try the plane yourself, this day will not be too far away!"

"Really? In a word, you have to pull the hook! ”

The little finger was raised slightly, in his eyes, there was expectation, Yang Yuanzhao also laughed and pulled the hook with her, airplanes, at present, are just the playthings of some flight enthusiasts, even if they develop the world's first-class aircraft, they are just flying shows, from later generations, airplanes, has become the third largest branch of the air force outside the army and navy, at the beginning of the 20th century, countries around the world, the application of aircraft is almost blank, and only in the First World War, aircraft were used in the military field, But it is only limited to reconnaissance, the first air battle was also born here, the pilot took his own gun, shot at other planes, but the long distance in the air, the pistol has a very short range, such an attack, just a joke, it was not until World War II that the aircraft really developed. In real history, aircraft has always been China's shortcoming, even in the 21st century, it is extremely backward.

This era, at the beginning of the 20th century, no country noticed the powerful role of the aircraft, this cognitive gap, has become the key to China's catching up with the world powers, as a 21st century engine engineer, the aircraft for Yang Yuanzhao, is unfamiliar, but this aircraft has just begun to develop the era, the engine of the aircraft, many of them are directly used for gasoline engines, what thrust-to-weight ratio, what vector ratio, all are not important, if slightly modified, which BMW 999 engine, can become a qualified aircraft engine, if you come up with a more reasonable layout, such as the star engine, the thrust of the aircraft engine, will continue to expand, the engine is the core of a power plant, whether it is a car, a train, or an airplane, the same.

Taiping to Taiyuan, is the old nest of Jin merchants, the official road is built very beautifully, the speed of the carriage along the way is very fast, about more than 10 o'clock in the morning, has arrived in Taiyuan, the provincial capital, as a prosperous big city, can be more prosperous and developed than Baotou, the sound of selling along the street is endless, the streets are lined with shops, there are obviously a lot more people.

Yang Yuanzhao leaned on the side of the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window, his eyes were inevitably attracted by the surrounding signboards, in Taiyuan at the beginning of the 20th century, in some places, you can see the shops with English letters, obviously, the owners of these shops, should be some foreigners, in 1840 began to open the country, nearly half a century, the tentacles of the great powers, has been from the very beginning of the coast, gradually penetrated into the interior, China's semi-colonial Cheng dù, continued to deepen.

In a city like Baotou, the great powers have not gone deep into the footsteps, at most the foreign banks are there to receive goods, but in Taiyuan, this city that has been connected to the railway, the great powers will inevitably attach great importance to it, Taiyuan and Xi'an, a certain amount of dù above, is the stepping stone for the powers to control the northwest and control the entire western part of China, Britain and France are only a saving here, but Japan and Russia have taken this place as the focus, and the two hungry wolves have already regarded the northwest as their bag. Especially Japan.

Along the way, there are almost 7 signs in English, only 2 in German, almost 20 in Russian, and at least 50 in Japanese.

Japan, a country and population, only a fraction of China, even at the beginning of the 20th century, when China fell into a disastrous semi-colonial situation, Japan's income, not as strong as the end of the Qing Dynasty, such a country, with the support of Britain, seized several key points in time, in 1895, defeated China, won the reparations of the Treaty of Taiwan and Shimonoseki, in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, defeated Russia among the great powers, so that other countries, face up to Japan's existence, Then there was the First World War, with the help of the European War, a lot of war money, and finally completed the transformation of industrialization, so that Japan embarked on the road of rapid expansion, and finally, the war of aggression against China and World War II, Japan's strength reached its peak, and it was once able to wrestle with the United States in the vast and soft ocean of the Pacific Ocean.

Yang Yuanzhao's heart, a burst of forest, Japan is afraid of China's rise, an unavoidable obstacle, the idea of small Japan, he knows very well that as a barren island country, Japan's mainland plot has not faded, every bit of land and resources, will cause bloodthirsty eyes, not to mention, poor and backward, unguarded China, Japan's tentacles, as early as thirty or forty years before the invasion of China, has reached China.

They are very concerned about China's economy, people's livelihood, Taiyuan as an important town in the northwest, and a place with relatively developed commerce and trade, the Japanese have a lot of shops here, which is considered normal, these Japanese, on the surface, are just ordinary businessmen, but they can do business in China, which is not cultivated by the Japanese intelligence department, they do everything possible to investigate China's one qiē in all aspects, and then summarize it into intelligence, which becomes the basis for formulating Japan's national policy.

It is no wonder that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army was overwhelmed, military strength was only one aspect, China had no secrets in Japan, officers, and even a small battalion and company-level officer's temperament would be recorded in detail, Japan's maps, even more accurate and detailed than the maps of the Kuomintang army, some trails that only the local mountain people knew, most of the Chinese army did not know, but the Japanese army knew.

The rise of a country will inevitably have wars, and in front of Yang Yuanzhao, in addition to the domestic forces, that is, Russia and Japan, the two wolf ambition powers, the Russo-Japanese War, foreign armies, fighting in China, occupying China's land, enslaving the Chinese people, and ultimately fighting for the interests of China, how sad it is, but all living beings, including some revolutionaries and leaders, did not see Japan's wolf ambitions, and were even affected by Japan's Sino-Japanese friendship and East Asian co-prosperity, Think of Japan as well-intentioned.

The carriage turned a corner, and the last Japanese shop was left behind by the carriage, Yang Yuanzhao took his mind, even if it was Japan at the beginning of the 20th century, the strength of a country is not what Yang Yuanzhao can face now, personal confrontation with the country, even with the help of the all-in-one machine, it will take time, and even a large number of people, around him, common struggle, it is possible, just on the road, the road is tortuous, the future is bright, and there is a long way to go.
