Expedition to Europe

Speaking of which, no matter what kind of machine it is, it has a service life.

Qin Zhiyuan had read an internal reference article before, which was about tanks. When tanks first appeared, if a tank drove continuously for more than 100 kilometers off-road, the tank was basically on the verge of being scrapped.

Of course, Lanfang's tank is so fragile, but it is not much better. Generally speaking, if the engine is running for more than 100 hours, it needs to be replaced. This replacement is sent for repair, not scrapped. If it is repaired more than three times, it will be replaced. To be eliminated, of course, elimination does not mean scrapping, but is classified for civilian use. It can be used for a long time when installed on fishing boats and civilian vehicles.

As for the life of the barrel, Lanfang's smelting technology originated from France and Germany, and Qin Zhiyuan has always attached great importance to material research, so the quality of the barrels made by Lanfang is still passable, and it can be fired for three to four hundred rounds.

The same is true for airplanes. After flying for a period of time, airplanes will also face problems such as body aging and machine fatigue. For some countries with insufficient military spending, aviation fuel consumption is a big problem.

The situation in Lanfang is not bad. Lanfang's aircraft are relatively advanced. Western countries have a huge demand for Lanfang aircraft. Lanfang can supply the replacement of Lanfang Air Force fighter aircraft by selling aircraft. As for aviation fuel, okay , this is not a problem at all. Qin Zhiyuan has United Oil in his hands, and there is an oil sea under the Persian Gulf. Qin Zhiyuan will not be short of oil for anyone.

Therefore, Lanfang Air Force really does not feel distressed when using aircraft, which also cultivates more and more skilled pilots for Lanfang.

As for flying clubs and flying schools, they are everywhere in Lanfang. There are many tourist attractions in Lanfang, and there are so many islands. The transportation between the islands is only by yachts, which is too inefficient. If there is no tourism project such as renting an airplane for sightseeing, , the scenic spots in Lanfang are too embarrassed to put up signs.

The result of vigorous support is of course rapid development. In just a few years, the number of registered pilots in Lanfang has exceeded 5,000. It can be said that more than half of the pilots in the world are in Lanfang. This also makes Lanfang a leader in the Air Force. The field occupies an absolute advantage.

If you take into account the performance of Lanfang fighter jets, well, adding the air forces of other countries around the world may not necessarily be able to defeat the Lanfang Air Force.

Xie Rundong's confidence comes from here.

Qin Zhiyuan also has confidence, but unlike Xie Rundong, Qin Zhiyuan is not arrogant and has a sense of urgency. At present, Lanfang's aircraft are indeed advanced, but their lead over other countries is not large, at least not as good as the U.S. Air Force's advantage at the end of the twentieth century. If the Americans catch up now, they can hope to catch up with the Lanfang Air Force within ten years.

Of course, there is only hope. Lanfang Air Force will not stand still. With Qin Zhiyuan's bug, it is more likely that the gap will become wider and wider.

I still need to appease Xie Rundong. After all, he is the most outstanding Chinese general in the navy and is Qin Zhiyuan's key training target. Therefore, if he is beaten with a stick, he will be given a sweet date: "'Sishui' will join active service soon. Don’t you go back to receive it?”

The outfitting of the "Surabaya" has come to an end, and it is expected that the "Surabaya" will be delivered to the navy for use in mid-February.

Xie Rundong has been confirmed as the captain of the "Sishui", and the "Sishui" will also be the mothership of the task force. Xie Rundong is also the commander of the task force. Based on emotion and reason, Xie Rundong should return to Cam Ranh Bay to receive the warship.

Even Qin Zhiyuan and Julie, as kings and queens, have to go back to participate in the handover ceremony.

"Of course I want to go. Your Majesty, don't you want to go too? I'll take a ride when the time comes -" Xie Rundong had a good plan.

In fact, when it comes to Xie Rundong's position, Xie Rundong also has a special plane, but Xie Rundong's special plane and Qin Zhiyuan's special plane are two different things. As long as there is a chance, Xie Rundong will definitely be more willing to fly on Qin Zhiyuan's plane. This cannot be regarded as getting close to Qin Zhiyuan. This is a response. The country calls for frugality——

"You take yours. Is it fun for the king and the commander of the task force to be crowded on the same plane?" Qin Zhiyuan did not give Xie Rundong a chance to save money.

"Don't put your eggs in the same basket" is a basic principle of air travel. Qin Zhiyuan and Xie Rundong are both big shots in Lanfang. If they take the same plane and something happens, it will be fun to watch. .

Fortunately, Qin De has returned to Penglai Island because he has to go to school, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

Hearing Qin Zhiyuan's rejection, Xie Rundong's mood was a little high, but he didn't get entangled. His mood quickly turned into excitement: "When our 'Sishui' is put into service, we must let these European country bumpkins see what an aircraft carrier is. They Here we actually call an aircraft carrier an aircraft carrier. It’s really quite backward.”

Xie Rundong should be talking about the French.

In fact, the French, like the British, do not have much demand for aircraft carriers. This does not mean that aircraft carriers are not important, but that their colonies are all over the world, which is equivalent to unsinkable aircraft carriers. They even equip battleships to demonstrate their powerful force. There is really no need for aircraft carriers.

Of course, this is what the British and French think so. Xie Rundong obviously doesn't think so. Lanfang's territory is now large enough and it has many unsinkable aircraft carriers. However, Xie Rundong certainly won't have too many. The more gadgets the better.

The Navy's ideas on building an army are actually constantly evolving. Xie Rundong's thinking was greatly influenced by Qin Zhiyuan, and he must be at the forefront of the times. It would be really depressing for him to communicate with those old antiques in the French Navy.

Qin Zhiyuan was not depressed. It was because he liked the feeling of creation. Turning a deserted island into a vibrant paradise like Corsica was like playing a virtual city game, which was very fulfilling.

An island like Sardinia was really like a blank sheet of paper, allowing Qin Zhiyuan to paint freely. Qin Zhiyuan really loved this feeling, so he started working as soon as he arrived at the temporary palace. He even tasted the upgraded chicken wings made by Julie.

Julie was determined to do things until she achieved her goal. Since Qin Zhiyuan and Julie talked about the concept of "KFC", Julie immediately took action.

In just half a month, with the help of more than a dozen chefs from various countries, Julie made four upgraded chicken wings, each one more delicious and perfect, until Qin Zhiyuan could not find any faults, and then the seasoning formula was determined.

When Colonel Sanders first determined the recipe, there were only 11 ingredients. Julie's recipe was much more complicated, with 26 ingredients. When Qin Zhiyuan ate the last chicken wing, he thought he had returned to the 21st century.

The ingredients had been determined, and "KFC" could be opened. Sydney Wollaston was also very efficient. Of course, this might be because the Rockefeller family really valued Pierre. So when Sydney Wollaston expressed her desire to open a fast food restaurant in a Standard Oil gas station, John Davidson Rockefeller did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed to Sydney Wollaston's request, and he opened 100 restaurants at once.

According to John Davidson Rockefeller, either don't do it, or do it on a larger scale. It's boring to do small things.

Tsk tsk, his tone is even more arrogant than "earn 100 million first".

That's one hundred. With the help of the Rockefeller family, the fast food restaurant developed very quickly. When Sydney Wollaston expressed her desire to buy the formula of "Pepsi-Cola", the Rockefeller family only sent a telegram, and then the founder of "Pepsi-Cola", Pradohan, ran to Corsica happily to sign a contract with Julie.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

It is indeed a bit of a coincidence. Pradohan is currently in Europe to sell the sugar he had hoarded in the past two years. If Julie hadn't appeared, Pradohan would have closed the "Pepsi-Cola" company this month, so Julie only spent five thousand dollars to buy the formula and the registered trademark of "Pepsi-Cola" from Pradohan.

It was really cheap.

According to Julie's pursuit of perfection, after getting the formula of "Pepsi-Cola", Julie immediately organized experts to conduct research to see if there was any room for improvement.

Of course there was, and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

In fact, strictly speaking, "Pepsi-Cola" was originally produced as a medicine, just like "Little Blue Pill". Pradohan produced "Pepsi-Cola" to treat stomach problems, and later it was discovered as a "beverage". Pradohan's formula is also very simple, carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, raw oil, pepsin and cola nuts, just such simple things.

Thanks to Qin Zhiyuan, Julie now has all kinds of talents under her, including biology and chemistry. In order to study chicken wings recently, she has invited many chefs to Corsica, and upgrading the formula of "Pepsi-Cola" is just a side job.

Without much effort, Julie's chefs came up with a new formula. In addition to the original water, sugar and a limited number of additives, the new formula added caramel, lime juice, phosphoric acid, white wine, oil lemon, oil orange, cinnamon oil, oil nutmeg, oil coriander, cola tree oil grains, etc.

In addition to the recipe, the chefs also came up with a seasoning, which includes orange, cinnamon, lemon, coriander, nutmeg, neroli oil, and alcohol. Colleagues also added citric acid, lime juice, and vanillin during the final preparation.

Qin Zhiyuan had no complaints about this new recipe, even if it was the "Pepsi-Cola" of the 21st century.

With "fried chicken" and "cola", the core selling point of the "fast food restaurant" was complete, so at the beginning of 1924, the first "KFC" fast food restaurant opened in Thunder City on Corsica.

Qin Zhiyuan did not visit the scene in person, but Julie went to the scene for free publicity. Not only did she praise the food in "KFC", she also packed a portion of chicken wings when she left.

Julie's personal experience was still useful. In just one week, "KFC" contributed 130,000 francs in net profit in four restaurants on Corsica.

Just one week, just four restaurants. If it were one hundred, or one thousand, calculated on a yearly basis—

It is said that Pierre was stunned for half an hour after learning the turnover.
