"We request the military command and administrative jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Kokang," Earl Minto said.

Wu Yuzhang spread his hands: "You know, this is impossible. If these rights are handed over to you, it is no different from a colony. As I said, the Kokang Kingdom only recognizes the suzerainty of the Saar Empire, and when necessary Assistance, but we need to maintain relative independence."

"What if I don't agree?" Earl Minto asked with staring eyes.

Wu Yuzhang shrugged his shoulders: "Then I regret to tell the governor that the Kokang Kingdom is likely to unite with the Zhaini National Liberation Organization, and our self-defense army will send troops to Zhaini."

"Despicable, it is too despicable, you are taking advantage of the fire." Earl Minto roared.

"To each other, when it comes to looting while taking advantage of the fire, who can compare to the Saar Empire? You are being modest." Wu Yuzhang still had a good temper and was not angry at all.

"Even if you want to be independent, the Yangon and Sittwe areas belong to Zhaini, how can you occupy them." Seeing that the Maine area could not be taken back, Earl Minto planned to use the administrative division as an excuse to control the coastline in his own hands.

"I am not interested in the administrative division of the United Kingdom. I only know that the Yangon and Sittwe areas have been garrisoned by the Burmese army, and most of the people are Burmese and Rakhine. Mr. Earl will not deny this." Wu Yuzhang raised his shoulders: "So jurisprudentially, the coastal areas are also part of Myanmar."

"The Saar Empire will never admit your statement." Earl Minto was really angry.

"Whether the Saar Empire recognizes it or not is not the earl's final decision. Maybe in the future you will have to sign the Zhaini independence document." Wu Yuzhang confronted.

Although unwilling to admit it, Earl Minto knew very well that the army of the Saar Empire was not strong in combat.In the past few years, the pressure from the Teutonic state has been increasing. The government must pay more attention to the affairs of the western continent, and it is simply unable to send troops to India.Now that the Kokang chieftains are strong and strong, if they intervene in Zhaini, it will be very difficult for Saar's garrison to win.Once the Saar garrison loses a battle, it is very likely that there will be a chain reaction. Not only will the resistance of the Zhaini people become more intense, but similar problems will also occur in other colonies.

After thinking for a long time, Earl Minto's reason finally defeated his emotions. After discussing with the domestic government by telegram, he had to sign the "Sago Bombay Treaty" with Wu Yuzhang.

The treaty indicated that the Saar Empire recognized the national autonomy of the Kokang Kingdom, and recognized its independent administrative power and military jurisdiction, but the Kokang Kingdom must recognize the Suzerain status of the Saar Kingdom and seek the opinions of the Saar Kingdom in terms of foreign affairs.In addition, the two sides also delineated the boundary line, indicating that the two sides will not invade each other.

Chapter 186 Successful First Flight

Wu Yuzhang will not relax much when signing this treaty. He knows that for the pirate country Saar, the treaty is just a waste of paper.He must seize this rare time and try his best to strengthen the Guokang Kingdom until it makes the other party feel unable to handle it, so that peace can be truly guaranteed.

With the Kyaukpyu Port, Zhongchuan finally has an outlet to the sea. Although there are still some difficulties in connecting this outlet, there has been considerable progress after all, and Zhao Shouhong naturally attaches great importance to this project.

After the Kokang Kingdom was formally established, Zhao Shouhong immediately approved the construction plan of Kyaukpyu Port and the plan to extend the Cochin Railway to Kokang. At the same time, a series of light industrial factories began to be built in the entire Sittwe territory where the port is located, including rice mills and timber factories. , garment factories, seafood processing factories and so on.At the same time, the rice seeds newly cultivated by Zhong Chuan began to be exported to the Kokang Kingdom to ensure the food production there.The Kokang Kingdom, which was originally impoverished and backward, began to improve significantly in national strength.

The establishment of the Kokang Kingdom marked that Zhao Shouhong's plan to retaliate against the Saar people had achieved phased results. In the past few days, he has always felt that he is relaxed and walks with a smile.This was not the only good thing. A few days later, Feng Ru sent him an invitation, and the first plane was finally about to take off.

Zhao Shouhong attaches great importance to the research of aircraft, and after receiving the news, he decided to go and have a look in person, but this time he went to Feng Ru's aircraft factory, and he brought Yu Xingshu and Chen Jinyong with him.For Zhao Shouhong to go to see the plane, but to bring these two chemical researchers with completely different majors, everyone was a little confused, even the two parties were very strange, but Zhao Shouhong insisted on taking them there.

Everyone drove to the aircraft factory quickly. Feng Ru's aircraft factory was located outside Yazhou City. It used to be a large wasteland. After being bought by Zhao Shouhong, the engineering battalion quickly built a tall factory building here, and The watchtowers and barracks of the garrison around, as well as the large airport.

Because of the emphasis on the plane, Zhao Shouhong protected this place so tightly that everyone thought that Zhao Shouhong was making a fuss out of a molehill.However, a few years later, when the aircraft became a weapon of war, everyone knew how wise such an emphasis was.

When Zhao Shouhong and his group arrived at the airport, the plane at the end of the runway was making final preparations.This plane is somewhat different from what Zhao Shouhong saw in the history books, because it is too narrow and long, and has soft wings similar to bats on both sides. The whole plane looks like a bat with spread wings and gliding.

Due to the use of the single wing, in order to strengthen the two wings, many metal wires are pulled between the fuselage and the wing. These metal wires can not only strengthen the wing, but also control the soft wing of the second half of the wing. , to help the aircraft perform up and down operations.

Since the power of the front engine has reached [-] horsepower, only one engine was installed in order to save load. However, Feng Ru creatively installed a fairing above the engine, which greatly reduced the resistance of the aircraft.Looking at this aircraft made of wood, canvas, and metal wires, Zhao Shouhong couldn't help sighing that this was the start of the aircraft industry and the start of the aerospace industry in later generations.

Although it looks so simple, it represents Hualan's emerging industry. From today, Hualan's aircraft industry will start to take off.In the future, the material of the planes will become better and better, and the speed will be faster and faster, and soon they will become the strong guards in the sky of Hualan.

Li Ruyan, the country's first test pilot, was striding towards the plane in a jacket.At this moment, he was wearing a hood and goggles on his head, a white scarf around his neck, and a flight log in his hand with black leather gloves, looking very satisfied.

"Brother Li." Zhao Shouhong stepped forward to stop him.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhao, you also come to see the first flight." Li Ruyan stopped and greeted Zhao Shouhong with a smile.

Zhao Shouhong approached him and said in a low voice: "This is the first flight, and there are bound to be many imperfections in the plane. Brother Li, you must be careful. If there is any problem, stop the test immediately, and the only way to survive is to save your life." is the most important."

"I understand, Ruyan will be careful." Li Ruyan nodded with a smile, and then ran to the plane.Zhao Shouhong shook his head, this flight is probably the most dangerous test flight in the history of Hualan.A group of inexperienced aircraft designers, coupled with a test pilot who has never actually flown, there are too many variables.

Feng Ru was busy with a large group of mechanics, carefully checking every detail of the plane.For the manufacture of airplanes, they are big girls who have been on the sedan chair, and any negligence is not allowed.Therefore, Feng Ru was always at the scene to carry out inspections with the mechanics. He devoted all his energy to the plane, and did not notice that Zhao Shouhong had come to the scene at all.

"Old Feng, do you have any questions?" Li Ruyan approached the plane and asked Feng Ru relaxedly.

Feng Ru sighed: "I have done all the checks that should be done, and there should be no problem. It is best for me to fly this kind of aircraft, so that I can find out where there is a problem. If it is not explicitly prohibited by the adults, I really want to fly by myself. "

"Don't look down on people, I can also find out the problem for you." Li Ruyan smiled and said: "Don't be so sad, I am going to be the No. "

Feng Ru smiled bitterly: "Forget it, everything is up to you, if there is any problem, land immediately."

"Got it, got it. Everyone get out of the way, I'm going to start." Li Ruyan waved her hand and said.The mechanic turned the propeller vigorously, started the engine, and as the propeller hummed louder and louder, the plane began to move forward slowly.

The mechanics quickly exited the take-off area. Li Ruyan put down the goggles, held the joystick firmly with his right hand, and habitually drew a sign of the cross on his chest with his left hand. "God bless, we must succeed this time." Li Ruyan pretended to be calm just now, because Li Ruyan didn't want others to worry. At this time, only herself was left in the cabin, and he began to feel a little nervous.

Recalling the skills he learned during the simulated operation, he opened the accelerator to the maximum and held the joystick tightly with both hands.The plane glides quickly on the grass, and after a turbulence, the nose lifts up with difficulty, and then the whole fuselage leaves the ground.However, the plane seemed unwilling to abandon the ground, and landed again as soon as it left the ground.

The turbulence of the plane made Li Ruyan feel very bad, but he still held on to the joystick tightly and tried his best to stabilize the fuselage.After a few hops on the grass, a puff of black smoke came out of the engine, and then the roar suddenly grew louder.Like a baby bird taking off for the first time, the whole plane wobbled away from the ground and flew into the air.

Chapter 187 Pharmaceutical Industry

"It's flying, it's flying." Everyone cheered excitedly, and some even threw their hats into the air.Hearing bursts of cheers on the ground, Li Ruyan wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and only then did he feel a burst of relief all over his body.Li Ruyan was inexplicably excited to fly in the air for the first time. He carefully operated the plane to circle over the airport, and at the same time, he did not forget to free his left hand to greet the people on the ground.

Seeing that the flight status of the plane tended to be stable, he began to carefully operate the plane to circle and ascend to test the maximum ceiling of the plane.Seeing Li Ruyan flying the plane and doing various flexible movements in the air, the people on the ground were not only envious.

"Master Zhao, this plane is really miraculous, it can fly like a bird." Yu Xingshu, who came with him, said excitedly, this was quite a miracle for him.After all, people in the Western Continent have only a few years of history in manufacturing aircraft. Unexpectedly, Hualan is not far behind. Only four years after the Wright Brothers' aircraft took off, they manufactured their own aircraft.

"Such a plane is a miracle, and we Hualan are finally proud." Chen Jinyong couldn't help admiring.

"Yes, we need tens of thousands of such miracles to help Hualan improve the image and strength of the country." Zhao Shouhong sighed: "Nowadays, the Houjin has been weak for a long time, and the great powers regard us as fat. They all want to take a bite. In foreign countries, Hualan people are called piglets, and those foreigners don’t treat us as human beings at all. What is all this for? It’s because Hualan is poor and backward, and because we don’t have the technology we need products, because we do not have a strong industry and a strong army, because our imperial court only knows how to exploit the people but not seek power.”

"What your lord said is very true, but with our meager strength, what can we do?" Yu Xingshu sighed.

"Do things that foreigners can't do, show them the miracles of Hualan. As long as we show that we are better than them, they will naturally be convinced. The accumulation of miracles will make our country Slowly become stronger, and let those foreigners gradually change their views on us. When we are strong enough, we must let them pay with their blood." Zhao Shouhong's words were resounding, and the blood of the two was boiling.

"My lord, what do you think we should do?" Chen Jinyong said excitedly.

Zhao Shouhong pointed to his head and said, "This is where you have the most advantage. There are not many chemical talents like you in Hualan, so I hope you can help me complete one thing, making magic medicine."

"Miraculous medicine?" The two were puzzled.

Zhao Shouhong explained: "If a country wants to become one of the world's powerful countries, it must have exclusive good things that can be obtained, otherwise it will only be like the Japanese country. Although the country is strong and even defeated a powerful country like Rakshasa, but It is still regarded as a second-class power by others. Chemistry is where we have the most advantage, and in chemistry, the pharmaceutical industry is the one that can show its strength the most.”

"Your Excellency, you want the two of us to use chemical methods to make medicinal materials? This seems to be the category of western medicine, and the two of us have never learned it before." Yu Xingshu said a little embarrassed.

"That's right, I think Master Haber should be invited here, he may have a better solution than us." Chen Jinyong felt very troubled.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said: "I have some medicine formulas. You don't need much experience at the beginning, you just need to accumulate experience step by step. For Haber, he is always a Teutonic. If we want to be truly strong, we must You must have your own trump card, and this medicine is the trump card I have chosen, so no foreigners can participate in this project."

Yu Xingshu nodded and said: "In that case, we are willing to work for you to create this medicine."

Zhao Shouhong nodded and said, "Nowadays, Western medicine is not very developed. Now the people in the western mainland can actually produce only a few kinds of infectious disease special drugs derived from plants such as quinine sulfate. And these medicines are not considered chemical preparations, at best they are plant-based medicines. It's just an extract."

"Your Excellency, you mean that we want to produce real chemical preparations, that is, real western medicine?" Chen Jinyong asked.

"Yes, and no." Zhao Shouhong smiled mysteriously.

"I don't understand your lord's words, what do you mean, no?" Yu Xingshu frowned.

Zhao Shouhong explained: "We naturally want to manufacture this kind of chemical preparation drug, but we have to manufacture it in the name of Huayao. Since the composition of the chemical preparation drug is relatively simple, it is easy to be imitated by other countries, so when manufacturing, We called to add some Chinese medicine ingredients, and change the Hualan name at the same time. This can confuse other people, and it can also create a world-class reputation for Huayao, and suppress them before Western medicine manufacturing develops in the Western Continent. "
