No matter what the purpose of Li Mu’s investment in education is, objectively, it has really promoted the progress of American education. This is beyond doubt.
For capitalists, every investment requires a return. This is the nature of capital, so Franklin hopes that the Institute of Technology can be self-sufficient as soon as possible. In that case, Franklin can speak more confidently in front of Li Mu. Although respect, this respect will make Franklin feel uncomfortable, and the feeling of giving will not be too comfortable no matter how you look at it.
Relatively speaking, Lisa’s pressure is much less than Franklin’s. Don’t look at Lisa’s concession in seeking funding. In fact, Lisa has more advantages than Franklin. With the relationship between Lisa and Henry, Lisa can ask Henry for additional funding at any time. This is Li Mu’s right to Lisa. Franklin also has it, but Franklin does not have such convenient conditions as Lisa. Therefore, Franklin’s commitment to funding is much stronger than Lisa’s.
Just as lacking in money as Franklin is Donald Huggins, General Manager of Junma Airlines. If the education industry still has a certain charitable nature, then aviation companies are purely self-financing. Since the establishment of the airline, Li Mu has successively Injected nearly six million US dollars, with the technical support of Steed Labs, the airline’s engine has been updated for three generations, and the aircraft produced can already undertake combat tasks, but the airline has not really received an order so far, which allowed Donald · Huggins was helpless.
“This time we showed the reconnaissance planes, bombers, and transport planes to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War was very interested in these planes, but as before, it did not really mean to place an order. Their reason is as ridiculous as ever, the plane is very Advanced, but there is no need for the Ministry of War. “Deputy General Manager Tom Collins said that business is helpless. The status quo of airlines is like this. Applauding or not, everyone will marvel at the performance of the aircraft, but no one is willing to pay.
Compared with another space-time, the airline has almost no detours, quickly transitioning from a triplane to a biplane, and the type of aircraft has also developed to reconnaissance, bomber, and transport aircraft. Although the bomber load of bombers is not enough, the The carrying capacity is not good enough, but Junma Airlines has a clear development direction, as long as the performance is continuously enhanced in the future.
As for the fighters, it is not the airlines that do not pay attention to them, but the current world. The only one that can really put the aircraft into practical use is the Junma Airlines. Therefore, there is no sense in developing fighters at this time. No matter who bought the aircraft, it is in the sky. No rivals could be found, and when competitors appeared, it was not too late for Junma Airlines to take out its fighter.
“Damn, why is there no war now? Only when the war breaks out can our planes truly show value.” Donald Huggins is now extremely eager for a war. If the United States is now in a state of war, then airlines will spare no effort Sell to the War Department, and the War Department will come to you.
Although airlines are reluctant to admit it, it is an undeniable fact that war is the first driving force for human progress. Only at the moment of life and death will people have the strongest desire to survive, in a peaceful era, No one pays attention to the development of technology unless it makes money.
The largest customer of aircraft is the country. The only transporter technology available for civilian use is not mature enough. The cargo capacity is too small and the flight distance is too short. Even because of technical constraints, manned aviation cannot do it. Sold to the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has no money to buy.
When it came to war, Tom’s lips buzzed, but he said nothing.
In fact, even if Tom didn’t say it, Donald knew what Tom wanted to say, not to mention that in the United States, the world’s largest war trafficker was Li Mu himself. To start a war, Li Mu was definitely a expert, but the war was not provoked casually. The British and the Boers were at war, but the Boers could not afford it, the British did not need it, and not all countries were eligible to use aircraft to participate in the war.
“I think we were too anxious to get it done. Mr. Riem said that in a short period of time, we can accept that our airlines are not profitable. What we have to do now is to accumulate technology. If there is one day, it ’s like Mr. Riem. That said, the plane can transport hundreds of people at a distance of 10,000 miles at a time, so even if we do n’t go to the War Department to sell, there will be a steady stream of customers who come to buy. ”Tom Collins was fed up with low-ranking requests, this time Junma Airlines invited more than a dozen generals to watch the test flight, and invested more than 50,000 US dollars before and after, but without any results, which made Tom Collins’ face really hang.
Li Mu does not require airlines to make profits in a short period of time. Another time and space, aircraft will not emerge until the middle and late stages of World War I. There are now more than two decades before the outbreak of World War I, there is no war. There is no place for airplanes. Panamanian companies can use airplanes to make topographical surveys. This is based on the premise that Panamanian companies can buy airplanes at low prices. Others do n’t want to buy them so cheaply. Now even the most primitive A generation of school-launched aircraft cost more than $ 100,000, and few companies can afford it.
In the 21st century, there is no such model as a school firing aircraft. The school firing aircraft is used in conjunction with artillery. In the past, artillery used to fire schools, and most of them used hot air balloons. The efficiency of hot air balloons is certainly not as good as that of airplanes. After it appeared, hot air balloons were quickly eliminated. At this stage, countries that can use hot air balloons for school shooting ca n’t afford airplanes at all. As long as the hot air balloons can function, the countries concerned will definitely not equipment.
“In the situation that Mr. Riem said, we don’t know how many years of technology accumulation we might have, maybe we will have retired by then, we have to do something to prove that we are worthy of what Mr. Riem paid us. Salary, so-I feel that our target choice has gone wrong, we have no enemies in the Americas, so Washington ’s demand for aircraft is not so urgent, and then we have to change direction, aim at European countries, think about it If the French are equipped with airplanes, will the Germans be nervous? And the Russians, as big as Siberia, they must need airplanes to ensure the safety of their homeland. That’s it. “Donald Hudgens said more and more excited, It is true that there has been a mistake in the choice of goals. The United States has no threat now, and naturally there is no sense of urgency. European countries are different. European countries have been contradictory since ancient times. Russians want to go south, French people want revenge, and German people want to challenge the British. Dominance of the British, the British want to maintain their advantages, so thinking, Europe should be aviation Secretary target market.
“To develop the European market, we must first get the permission of the Ministry of War.” Tom Collins was a bit dumbfounded. He didn’t think about developing the European market, but Washington does not allow it. The aircraft thing is still relatively advanced and belongs to export restrictions. range.
Who says the United States has no technical barriers?
The so-called “freedom” in the United States means that when the United States needs freedom, then “freedom” is meaningful. If it is not what the United States needs, then I am sorry, the United States has no obligation to feed Europe.
People in the 21st century probably cannot imagine that in the 19th century, the United States was generally discriminated in Europe. At the end of the 20th century, hotels in the South of the United States could put up a sign that did not allow black people to dine, as did Europeans in the 19th century. Yes, there are many restaurants in Paris. They blatantly refuse Americans to eat. The reason is simple. Americans always speak loudly. Americans are not polite. Americans do not talk about hygiene. Americans affect the mood of other guests. and many more.
Is the routine familiar?
When Chinese people in the 21st century have just gone abroad, they will also encounter all kinds of discrimination. In fact, it is understandable that when they see the former embarrassing neighbors widening, their jealousy is inevitable, and they will not care how your money comes from. You are the hard-earned money, and you won the lottery when you bought the lottery, they all look the same. Your life is better than mine, then it is your fault.
In the face of discrimination by Europeans, of course, Americans are also unwilling, but the United States does not have enough right to speak now, so the United States can only tolerate it. This feud cannot be reported until World War I, when Europe was beaten. It was so bad that the United States entered the market as a savior at this time. Since then, the United States has become a creditor of the world.
The time is not right now, and the United States has not yet had the opportunity to avenge revenge, but the United States has begun technical blockades against Europe in certain areas, such as radios, such as cars, and now airplanes. The United States wants to maintain a technical blockade against Europe.
“Don’t worry, we can’t get the permission of the Ministry of War, then let the problem be handed to Mr. Riem, relying on the relationship between Mr. Riem and the Ministry of War, I believe that Mr. Riem must have a way-” Donald Huggins still put I hope that Li Mu can run a relationship, and of course Li Mu, the boss, must take the lead: “——All we have to do now is to make all preparations, and then you will invite senior officials from those European countries to visit our airlines. When it comes to relationships, go to Steed Weapon Company. They have mature channels in Europe. We must make full use of the arms race between European countries. As long as one country is equipped with an aircraft, other countries will take it seriously, such as Germany. As a result, all of Europe will be our customers. “
Although the First World War has not yet broken out, the arms race has begun. After the reunification of Germany in 1871, the arms race has officially begun. After the Franco-Prussian War, Germany received a large amount of French compensation, so it aimed at To Britain, and Britain ’s military spending last year has doubled before the Franco-Prussian War. At the end of last year, Britain also passed the Naval Defense Act, which decided to build 10 battleships and 34 cruisers in the next 5 years. With 18 torpedo boats, the navies of all countries in the world will not be able to compete with the British navy.
Since the superiority of the British Navy is unshakable, you can make a fuss about it from other aspects, such as the Air Force, this is the best breakthrough.
For a long time, the Steed Group has maintained a good relationship with Krupp in Germany, so Li Mu can use Krupp to promote the German government to purchase aircraft for inclusion, which will definitely stimulate the nerves of the British and the European market will follow. Open it.
“Are the Germans rich?” Tom Collins looked down on the Germans, and how much accumulation could a country set up ten years ago? Even if the French get a lot of compensation, the Germans spend more money.
“It doesn’t matter whether the Germans have money or not. If they can open up the European market, then it doesn’t matter if they give some Germans planes.”-Donald Huggins may have no money at all costs to open up the European market, but the British There must be money, ten battleships, drooling when you think about it, and even if you take out the money of a battleship to buy an aircraft, you can make Donald Huggins laugh with a dream: “What’s more, the Germans have no reason at all Rejected, even if the Germans took off their underwear, they could not create so many warships that could compete with the British fleet. Since this is the case, if the determination of the British man-made warship can be affected by the plane, I think the Germans will definitely make a wise decision s Choice.”
This is for sure. If the British spend part of their military expenses to buy aircraft, this will definitely affect the British shipbuilding plan. Even if the British build one less torpedo boat, the Germans will have less pressure. The result is obvious. Plus, Donald Huggins, who has no bottom line, has no reason to refuse the Germans if they really gave the planes to the Germans for free.
The only obstacle may be in the Ministry of War, but that is Li Mu’s problem, and it has nothing to do with Donald Huggins. At least such a plan can prove that Donald Huggins really used his mind.
“Well, we can give it a try. In fact, Krupp has always wanted to cooperate with us. The Germans will definitely not reject our goodwill.” Tom Collins also has no reason to refuse. Although Li Mu does not give the airline pressure, but as a The airline leadership, Tom Collins, also wants to perform better.
“Even if we cooperate, we only sell airplanes, not technology. It must be clear.” Donald Huggins will definitely not make mistakes. If Li Mu gets out of the way, it may be possible to convince the Ministry of War to agree to the airlines to sell the aircraft to Europe. Go, but if it ’s technology transfer, do n’t even think about it, let alone the Ministry of War, Li Mu would not agree.
