Riding in a car, Ray? Kopa was looking through the window of his car to see the scenery outside. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)

"I really envy these Chinese..." Copa sighed.

From the end of 1913 to the present day, it has been almost two years since the establishment of the national government. Foreigners living in China have been surprised by the magnitude of Beijing's changes, and the city's core city is now being revitalized in a way that most people can't imagine.

The brand-new buildings, the wide and clean roads, the buses and trams full of passengers, and the citizens who seem to have become more 'civilized' than they were two years ago are all refreshing.

In fact, not only Beijing, but many cities in China are currently undergoing such changes. It's just that as the capital of the state-owned government, Beijing's changes are obviously greater.

And because of the large number of people who have poured into Beijing in the past two years, the city government also plans to build new urban areas outside the city, including the Yushi Group building, the presidential palace and the headquarters of various departments.

It's just that the city government and the government don't have a clue about how to keep the old city wall of Beijing perfectly, and if there is no proper plan, there is no way to start construction―――――― and many people in the city government and the government tend to directly demolish the city wall.

Although it has already defeated Japan in the Battle of Shandong, and there is also such a miracle building as the 'Empire State Building'. However, there are still many people in China who advocate the abolition of the old culture, and many of these people do not like it. This naturally includes the city walls.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Palace Museum has already opened. I'm afraid they will even advocate the demolition of the Forbidden City.

The reason why this is so is because they think that the current situation in China is entirely due to the Westernization of the Kuomintang, which also proves that only complete Westernization can save China, as for the success of Japan?

Sorry, they didn't see this.

Even if someone confronts them, they ask in return. Hasn't Japan, which retained its original culture, lost to China, which adopted Westernization?

If it weren't for Yan Shao's mandatory requirements, I am afraid that the city government would have been forced to demolish the city wall under pressure from those people.

However, Yan Shao knew very well that these things were priceless treasures for the entire nation. To paraphrase some vulgar words that have already been used, any destruction of these things is an unspeakable loss to the entire Chinese nation.

And such priceless things. It is not just some cultural relics, this kind of ancient buildings also carry the history of the nation.

As a person from later generations, Yan Shao certainly knows how many cultural relics have been destroyed in the past 100 years, and how many cultural relics have been sold abroad, so that Chinese people want to see their country's cultural relics. But you need to go to museums in other countries...

Yan Shao's wish is to change the fate of the whole country, not only to make the country strong, but even the fate of these cultural relics needs to be changed. In this case, how can Yan Shao tolerate others destroying these cultural relics...

Therefore, Yan Shao not only vetoed the plan to demolish the city wall, but even asked the city government to make a new plan. While the city walls can be preserved, the entire city can be expanded along the way. Nature. This must not be easy, and according to the Ministry of Urban Development, at least a few sections of the wall must be demolished.

It may not be much now, but if some equipment is to be transported into the city, the current city gate is probably some...

No way, who called the city gate of the old era, not for the people of the new era.

Those city gates, walking ordinary cars are nothing, but things like trucks, I'm afraid many city gates can't be passed. In order to ensure traffic, it is necessary to have new roads...

Eventually, the plan of the city government, the Ministry of Urban Development, and the Ministry of Transportation was to keep all the gates and most of the city walls. The original walls were then demolished in some locations to ensure smooth traffic throughout the city.

And after looking at this part of the plan, Yan Shao also had to nod.

Because it is clear from above, if all the walls and gates are preserved, then the traffic of the city will probably have to ――――――unless a tunnel is dug under the city wall, and vehicles can pass through the tunnel, but this is a little too inconvenient.

Yan Shao is not a person who does not listen to persuasion, although he thinks that if he can keep the entire city wall, it will definitely be a very good thing. But since there was no way, he also followed the persuasion of others.

As for the petitions calling for the demolition of the city walls, or even the downfall of the old culture?

Yan Shao didn't even look at it, he crumpled it up and threw it in the trash...

If you abandon your country's history and despise your country's culture, is China still China?

――――――――――――――――――――――

Looking at the dense flow of people on the street, and the peaceful scene, Ray? Copa was deeply envious. Because it was not as damaged by the war as his homeland.

In fact, since the outbreak of the war, many civilians have left Europe. As for the destination, the United States is the most common, but as a country that is also in a state of peace, China has also attracted many foreign civilians to settle down. In fact, in the eyes of many, China under the rule of the Nationalist government is indeed more livable than countries such as India.

On the other hand, after thinking about the war in Europe, Ray? Kopa is also deeply worried about the war at home.

There has been no good news from Europe in recent times, starting with the Battle of the Dardanelles by the British. As a result, instead of achieving the intended result, the whole battle was lost, and now the British only occupied the beachhead, and the British seemed to be now in the same positional warfare they had encountered on the Western Front, and because of the small space, the British had very little room to move. According to the information coming from home, if it were not for the insistence of the Admiral Churchill. I'm afraid the British have already withdrawn people from the Dardanelles.

On the Western Front, the British were also stopped after making limited progress in the fighting near Festibel. The French offensive was slightly better. Captured the commanding heights of the Vimy ridge near Sushet. Exhausted by the costly and ineffective offensives of the first half of the year, the British and French forces rested, adjusted, and reinforced for the remainder of the summer. The Germans, who also lost Yan zhòng, were happy to take a breather.

The second is the continuous defeat of the Russians on the Eastern Front, and the news coming back from home that the Germans are launching a new offensive on the Eastern Front. Especially in June, the superior forces of the Austro-German army broke through the 45-kilometer defense line of the Russian Third Army. The southern aspect of the vast Polish-Galician salient of the Russian army began to crumble. On 3 June, Przemyšl was recaptured, and on 22 June, Lemberg was occupied. On June 23-27, the Austro-German army crossed the Dniester River, and if there is no way to stop it, I am afraid that even Warsaw...

As for the Falk disaster, which had just begun...

This thunder? Kopa had heard of it, but he didn't really take it very seriously. Because people in this era generally do not attach much importance to the Air Force, these people do not pay much attention to this defeat in the air.

But...

Bloodied by the Germans in the sky. This was obviously intolerable for the proud French, so when he heard the news, Ray? Copa's heart was also depressed for a while.

And then...

"What did Yan Shao call me for..."

――――――――――――――――――――

Thunder? Kopa's question was asked after meeting Yan Shao.

Since the Anhui era, on the whole, the relationship between the two is still very good. In addition, Yan Shao doesn't like those very hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric very much. So in the face of Ray? Copa's question, Yan Shao said very directly.

"It's about arms..."

"Munitions?"

Heard Yan Shao talk about arms, Lei? Copa looked a little strange. Because not long ago, China and France just signed a large order, two million pounds, which is definitely not small. If you put it two or three years ago. It is even possible to buy a dreadnought from Britain and France―――――― of course, the performance will definitely be somewhat reduced.

"Mr. President—" bowed his head. Think Yan Shao is a ray who wants more orders? Coppa pondered for a moment, then said cautiously. "With your country's industrial base, I believe that the last batch of orders is enough to keep the scale busy for a while, if you want new orders, even if you don't complete the previous order, at least half of it will be completed, and I will have a way to go domestically..."

Hear Ray? When Kopa said this, Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not talking about this munition, but another..."Yan Shao touched his chin as he spoke. Of course, if I can give some more orders, of course I will not refuse, but ............... I heard that your country's aviation forces have suffered some setbacks on the Western Front ...

After all, the orders that are now received from Europe can be turned into money as long as they are completed. And the current currency is still on the gold standard, as long as gold does not depreciate, there is no need to worry about the pound depreciation―――――― will anyone think that there is more money?

"This..."Hearing Yan Shao's words, Lei? Copa was slightly stunned. "Mr. President, you..."

"Of course I have my intelligence channels, and I have also heard that the failure of your country's aviation forces is due to the adoption by the Germans of a new type of aircraft ..."

"I don't know, but from the information coming back from China, it seems that this is the case..." Coppa was slightly depressed, partly because of the failure at home, and partly because the man in front of him seemed to know more about the situation at home than he was, a French diplomat.

See Ray? Kopa admitted, and Yan Shao smiled slightly. "I came to Mr. Minister for this purpose, and at the moment my country is also producing some of the latest fighters, which should be of some help to your country............... Don't shirk yet, Mr. Minister, I know that your country is very suspicious of the capabilities of our country's aviation industry, and I also doubt what kind of aircraft our country can produce, but I don't know if Mr. Minister has heard of the complete victory of our aviation units against the Japanese air forces during the Battle of Shandong.

Hearing Yan Shao's words, Lei? Copa hesitated.

Initially hearing that Yan Shao was planning to sell planes to France, Ray? Kopa's heart was slightly disdainful.

That's right, disdain.

No matter how good the relationship between him and Yan Shao is. For the strength of his own country, Ray? Kopa is still very proud. The French have been a European power for many years. As for China, the current Guoshe government is just a very young country, and its rise is only just emerging. Kopa acknowledges China's strength, but still has a sense of superiority in his heart.

In the past, arms were purchased from China, on the one hand, in order to win over China, and on the other hand, because the domestic industry was damaged by the war and could no longer meet France's needs for the war effort.

But even so. The arms that France has ordered from China are only rudimentary products. Bullets, rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, etc., as well as uniforms, helmets, boots, and other things.

Except for machine guns, there is almost nothing technical about the rest.

And Ray? Kopa is also proud of his country's technology. Now I heard that Yan Shao actually plans to sell some planes to France to help France recover its air disadvantage...

Even Yan Shao has to admit that even if China can surpass France in industry, it will still take a long time to surpass France in science and education. No way. There are too many courses left behind in China, and now we can only slowly ignore the fallen courses.

It could be twenty years, it could be thirty years, it could even be fifty years, but it definitely won't be now...

And Yan Shao's words just now are obviously saying that the aircraft they produce are more advanced than those produced in France. Otherwise, how could they be helped against the Germans? This is clearly Ray? Kopa could not admit it.

In Ray? Kopa seems. At most, the planes produced by the Chinese have reached the same level as France, and the more ...

However, Yan Shao's words later made him suddenly wake up.

Because at the time of the Shandong Campaign, the Chinese aviation forces did not lose even a single aircraft, such a record. It's obviously impossible to do without a little trick...

So although there is still a little doubt in my heart, but Ray? Copa nodded anyway.

"If that's really the case......... I can show the military attaché next to me. In addition, send a telegram to Paris, asking for their opinion..."

This is exactly what Yan Shao wanted, and Yan Shao naturally had no possibility of not agreeing...

――――――――――――――――――――

For the fact that the aircraft produced by the Chinese may be better than those produced by the British and French, not only mines? Kopa was skeptical, and so were some of the people around him. But in the end they were still thundered? Coppa was convinced, and soon the French Legation in China sent a military attaché and another British military attaché who had arrived to watch the air force perform.

As I once said, the reason why the aviation unit was able to clearly come up with a 'firing coordinator' was actually a very accidental thing. However, the emergence of the firing coordinator has indeed greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the aviation units.

Later, during the visit, the fighter jets equipped with the Wehrmacht first performed an air show, and then the military attaches of the two countries watched the ground show, that is, using the machine guns loaded on the plane, shooting at targets on the ground in the ground situation...

The result of the performance was a success, and in front of everyone, the wooden target was torn to pieces by two heavy machine guns on the fighter jet.

After watching the performance, on the one hand, the military attaches of the two countries expressed their shock at this technology, and on the other hand, they hurriedly sent telegrams to Paris and London, believing that they could buy a license for the production of this weapon from China―――――― and they also asked for the details of the 'firing coordinator', but the aviation units that received Yan Shao's instructions did not disclose any details, but only made it very clear that unless they were willing to buy a license for this technology, they would not disclose any situation...

After getting the report, Lei, who was a guest at Zhu Erdian's place? Kopa was also shocked. He never thought that Yan Shao really had such a technology in his hands that even France didn't have.

The military attaché's report was soon telegraphed to France, but the French did not take this information very seriously. Because during the visit, the Wehrmacht did not reveal too many details, and the two military attachés did not know the doorway very well, because they followed the thunder a long time ago? Kopa came to China with no idea what technology was currently available on the European battlefield.

In Paris's view, the technology that the Chinese have is likely to be the technology they already have to install some metal slide plates on the propeller blades. If this is the kind of technology, the French already have it, and there is no need to buy it at all―――――― in fact, many problems can be seen from here, why was Fokker able to develop the 'firing coordinator' in less than 48 hours after getting this technology, while the French, who had already possessed this technology, were made a Fokker disaster by the Germans?

Anyway, in Ray? At the strong request of Coppa and others, the French Government sent several officers of the aviation unit to China by boat.

But by the time their ship arrived in China, it had been more than a month since they left. The judicial officers, who were still careless, watched the performance of the 6th Air Force with their own eyes after a reception to welcome them. As a result, these pilots who had fought with the Germans on the Western Front are now likely to use the same techniques used by the Chinese as those used by the Germans on the Western Front.

This immediately shocked the officer corps, and also shocked the French government, which was suffering from the 'Fokker disaster'. Just over the past month, the French have actually been shot down by the Germans with more than three hundred planes, and that's not counting the British...

Therefore, after learning the details, the French government quickly gave the officer corps and Ray? Kopa conveyed an order for them to get their hands on the technology at any cost.

Losses on the battlefield are one thing, and being beaten the battlefield by German planes, what is the face of the French?
