Chapter 801: 801 Two princes

 Chapter 801 801 Two Princes

The military parade the day before was very exciting. Although it was not broadcast live, the whole world will soon see the grand military parade of the Tang Dynasty.

The guests from various countries who came to attend the ceremony in Tang State also truly saw the power of Tang State. They were so frightened by the overwhelming number of aircraft that they forgot to look at the rocket launchers covered with canvas that followed the towed artillery.

The Tang State showed a lot of weapons to the world, and everyone was willing to buy a lot of them. However, it was still the Tang State's air force that shone brightly in the anti-Tang war.

 This is the first time that the world has truly thought about the air force at a strategic level. They found that only building a strong air force is the only criterion for solving problems in the increasingly fragile rear.

The reason is actually very simple: in order to support a large, powerful army, a country must industrialize and raise the army's logistics to an unprecedented level.

 However, what to use to protect these factory facilities has become a huge problem. Modern factories have indeed increased a huge amount of production capacity, but they also require a large number of workers. These workers need housing and various supporting facilities.

 Water supply, power supply, markets, hospitals and schools, as well as government departments that serve these places... Therefore, factories can only rely on cities, or simply say that a city serves several or one factory.

Such a city is huge and its defenses are fragile. As long as some parts are destroyed by the air force, the factory will stop production and its production capacity will disappear.

For modern warfare, this is undoubtedly a disaster: without production from the rear, there is no way to make up for the losses on the front line, and no matter how large an army is, it will collapse due to lack of ammunition and oil.

Similarly, roads are also very important in order to transport the large amounts of weapons and equipment produced in the rear and mobilized personnel to where they are needed.

These roads are like blood vessels, transporting nutrients to the giant country. There is no way to fortify these roads, and they are very easy to be destroyed by the air force.

 This is especially true for trains and rails. Huge transportation capacity is basically supported by rails. Trains are also the symbol and most important support of a country’s transportation capacity.

Once they are destroyed by the air force, even if the factories in the rear can still produce, the frontline troops will be passive due to the supply cutoff.

If factories can still protect themselves by relocating beyond bomber range, then roads will appear near war zones anyway, making it even more difficult to protect these important blood vessels.

In addition to these, of course there is another link that also faces huge challenges from the air: the army's supply troops are large and fragile. The material strongholds they set up on the front line, the vehicles needed to distribute materials, and the personnel who operate them are all vulnerable to attack. Target.

By destroying these supply units, the Air Force can also achieve its fundamental goal of blocking the opponent's material transportation and mobilization.

 To achieve this goal, it is necessary to establish a large-scale and advanced air force. By the same token, if you want to prevent the enemy from doing this, you can only build a large-scale air force to achieve your goal.

  Countries each spent 100 million gold coins to purchase aircraft technology. The main reason was to build their own air force.

 However, although they each built and produced tens of thousands of aircraft and trained a large number of pilots at the same time, they could only deter each other and could not reach the height of the Tang Air Force.

Their aircraft are too poor. There is no way to compare with the equipment of the Tang Army in terms of performance, and there is no way to prevent the Tang Air Force from destroying the targets they want to destroy.

 So, after the military parade and victory parade, various countries were frantically contacting relevant people in the Tang State and putting forward the demand for purchasing various aircraft.

 For civil aircraft with the least restrictions, countries are purchasing them as if life-threatening, for fear of missing something.

 Tang State actually has a demand for exports: if not for any other reason, it is simply because it is so profitable to establish internationally accepted aircraft standards and have the right to formulate standards for civil aviation equipment.

How profitable is this thing? After a little dismantling, you can find that this thing is so profitable that it can be said to be a huge profit.

 First of all, exporting aircraft is good business in itself: Want to build a civilian airline? sure! Buy my plane! Reasonable price, excellent performance, no problem!

 But everyone knows that the cost of purchasing a civilian aircraft requires exporting hundreds of millions of shirts to earn back the cost. The problem is, there are many people in the world who can make shirts, but very few people who can make airplanes.

Secondly, when you buy someone else’s aircraft, you must accept their certification standards, including ground staff training, crew training, aircraft maintenance procedures...all of this must be learned from them.

These seemingly inconspicuous peripheral supporting services are surprisingly expensive. Sometimes, it can even reach several times or even dozens of times the price of the aircraft itself.

Even to the extreme, the aircraft manufacturer can build a brand new large aircraft that can eliminate more than half of the airport supporting facilities in other countries overnight.

 In addition, after the formation of a monopoly, safety certification was upgraded from a quality label to an access threshold. Any country that wants to manufacture its own aircraft must face many challenges.

If you don’t buy my parts and use my engines, I won’t give you safety certification, and you won’t be qualified to fly international routes—what? Am I overbearing? Then you bite me?

 Hence, Datang Group very much hopes that the whole world will use the civil aircraft they produce and the standards they set.

So, on the night after the military parade ended, Datang Group signed a series of civil aviation cooperation memorandums with many countries or individuals.

In the end, the cooperation that was originally discussed as a memorandum almost became a real contract with a deposit: Harry sold 2,100 civilian airliners within 6 hours.

 That's right, it is the civilian version of the C47 transport aircraft, which is also the star product produced by Douglas Company, the famous DC-3 passenger aircraft.

This aircraft has a crew of three, can carry 28 passengers at a time, and transport these people up to 2,000 kilometers away.

 Although airplanes in this era are not comfortable, they have many contemporary benefits: for example, you can smoke in the airplane, etc.

Since a large number of civilian aircraft are sold, it is no secret that the radio equipment that accompanies these aircraft is sold.

 For this reason, the price of C-47 is ridiculously high, and more than 200 of them must be purchased at one time. Despite this, orders for this aircraft are still staggering.

 For these countries with backward aircraft technology, the aircraft's engine, structural design, radio equipment, etc. all have high reference value, so it is definitely not a loss to buy one.

On the other hand, these countries also need to quickly establish their own civil aviation to increase transportation convenience and facilitate high-level control of the country.

 With the transportation of airplanes, the mobilization speed of important personnel has been shortened from more than ten days a month to less than one day. This is obviously very attractive and good news.

In order to complete such a large number of orders, Datang Group had to establish a new aircraft production base in Xicong to specialize in the production of DC-3 transport aircraft.

 At the same time, countries have to select personnel again to make these people new civil aviation ground handlers and technical workers.

 In order to save money, some people will be sent to the Tang State to study, and most of them will learn relevant technologies locally from Tang State technical training instructors hired with high salaries.

 After the delivery of 2,100 DC-3 transport aircraft, all spare parts and supporting equipment for DC-3 aircraft must be purchased from Datang Group in accordance with regulations.

 The next morning, when Tang Mo woke up from his sleep, he didn't know that there was a large sum of money in his account. Now he is definitely qualified to proudly say, "Money is just a number to me."

Having become His Majesty the Emperor, he had a sumptuous dinner with his three wives and two children in the evening, and then wisely chose to sleep in his office.

At this time, spending the night with any princess would easily affect the happiness index of the other two princesses. It would also easily misunderstand your ministers, forcing them to consider choosing sides among the princes.

 Therefore, no matter what the considerations are, it is not appropriate for Tang Mo to do something irrational at a sensitive and special time point.

The good news is that the three imperial concubines are all sensible women. They did not embarrass Tang Mo at this time. They each returned to their dormitories and locked the doors obediently.

Tang Mo, who once again passed by the Shura Field, began to understand the pain of those time management masters. This is only three. If it were four or five, then he would probably have a headache. Well, he admitted that if he was really confused and provoked any woman again, with the Ministry of the Interior's mirage and the seemingly harmless Financial Queen Alice, he would probably make the other woman disappear in an instant.

Thinking of this, he felt that it was a very wise thing for him to decisively reject Princess Nanla who proposed himself as a pillow.

 It’s better for the little sheep not to seek excitement among the big bad wolves. If you are careless, you may go back to the spring...

"How is it? How does it feel to be the emperor? Your Majesty?" When Tang Mo opened the door, he saw Weiss's face with a lewd smile.

"Not bad, how about you? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment by becoming a close minister of the emperor?" Tang Mo asked with a smile.

"I admit, I'm a little dizzy...it feels like I've had too much to drink." Weiss smiled even brighter. He followed Tang Mo all the way to the restaurant.

He used his loyalty in exchange for the qualification to smile in front of Tang Mo. The relationship between the two was not like a monarch and a minister, but more like a close friend.

But Weiss knew how to behave, and he would only occasionally joke when there was no one around, and Tang Mo didn't mind this relaxed relationship.

"Dad!" The eldest son saw his father, immediately stretched out his little hand, and shouted in a milky voice that was not very clear.

 “Hehe!” The other son giggled, which melted Tang Mo’s heart.

 The two little guys are still innocent and cute, and nothing has changed just because they were promoted from prince to prince. They haven't reached that age yet, and they don't know how far their father has reached.

The whole room is splendid and magnificent. The chandelier was designed by a famous artist from the northern region of the Tang Dynasty. It is gorgeous and huge. It easily illuminated every corner of the restaurant, shining brightly on the three beauties who had arrived here first.

I have to say that the three imperial concubines chosen by Tang Mo are really unique. Each of them represents a kind of beauty, and they are all pleasing to the eye just by looking at them.

Although You Lin is not the kind of beauty that is first seen, she is definitely the kind that is attractive. The more you look at it, the more flavorful it becomes, and the more you look at it, the more you like it.

Even though she is a mother of a child, she still maintains a perfect figure, and even the stretch marks on her waist are not visible.

As the saying goes, you can't pretend to be pampered, but you can't fake your temperament. You have to rely on years of nourishment to develop that kind of taste.

This is the case with Youlin. She was originally a tough weed. With the nourishment of power and knowledge, she has now grown into a towering tree.

 Needless to say about Alice, she was originally a noble and a well-known beauty. Her temperament was really good.

 In the past few years, the hundreds of millions of wealth Tang Mo has entrusted her to take care of has made her even more radiant.

 She can make money, and of course she can also spend money. Judging from the way she loved steam engines back then, it is no exaggeration to say how prosperous her career is now.

Think about it, the less than 100 million gold coins hidden by Sophia will double in a few years. Alice holds billions of gold coins. How much will the value increase in a few years?

 A woman with her own career is the most attractive, and Alice’s femininity is really a bit scary. That is to say, she married Tang Mo, otherwise she might not be able to control this little wild horse.

Le'er is interesting. She rushed back to Chang'an because of the military parade celebrations. She has been busy in other places for the past six months.

She is now more than just an environmental protection commissioner. Leer, who studied at Datang Women's College in Bunas and Longdao University, is definitely not an embroidered pillow.

While she was running the environmental protection business vigorously, she also helped Tang Mo control various side businesses: now she is even Elf John's boss and the fashion godmother of the Tang Empire behind the scenes.

　　After taking over the film industry, broadcasting industry, and publishing industry, Leer, the cat-eared girl, has no small energy at all, and her exposure even far exceeds that of You Lin and Alice who are behind the scenes.

 In short, the three women sitting there were like a beautiful scenery, which made Tang Mo start to worry about his waist early in the morning.

After all, I am not a superman, and I don’t have a body of steel. It's not like he's a berserk warrior or archmage, so this night and night show may be a bit overwhelming.

Tang Mo’s eldest son, the child born to You Lin, was named Tang Yu by Tang Mo. Alice’s child was very cute because of his mixed race, so Tang Mo named him Tang Xuan. Both are single names, simple and easy to remember, nothing special.

 “Dad!” The second prince reached out to grab the fried dough sticks and almost scared the nanny next to him to death. He called Tang Mo while supporting the table with his hands and rushing towards the delicious food on the table.

The eldest prince was not much better. His face was covered with jam, and the mess in front of him made people dizzy.

The two children were still very young and had not yet reached the age of education, so Tang Mo could only smile as he watched several nannies and wet nurses jumping up and down around the two children happily.

To be honest, Tang Mo had no children at all in his previous life, and he really didn't know how to raise children, so in this regard, he was anxious and guilty.

 Compared with educating his children, he is still better at using the system in his head to bring the weapons and equipment from the previous life into this world.

For every parent, how to raise an excellent offspring is a huge and important topic. They have no experience, but they have to face the most real battlefield immediately.

In the world that Tang Mo is familiar with, the safest way for the royal family to choose in this situation is to outsource the entire education and leave it to professional teachers for training.

For things like "master protection", first find a lot of teachers to teach the princes various knowledge, or simply put the princes into schools and train them together with other talents.

However, this will cause some problems and flaws as the princes grow older: the teachers who manage the princes are not as good as these princes in terms of status.

This is like a naughty child who is protected by a naughty parent. It is inconvenient for teachers to discipline him in school, because he may get into trouble and affect his work.

So Tang Mo really felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy when he looked at the two innocent little naughty things in front of him. To be honest, he had never been so uneasy and nervous when he listened to Loew's report on the battle situation in the combat headquarters.

The royal family of the Tang Dynasty did not have many rules. In fact, there were many exceptions that Tang Mo acquiesced to. For example, if Wes and Roger are present, they can come to the table and dine together.

 On the one hand, it shows grace, and on the other hand, it is the old customary friendship. Earlier, we were all brothers fighting side by side in the trenches, but it was not beautiful to suddenly distance ourselves.

But Weiss knows how to advance and retreat. He usually sits in the farthest place and eats his own food. Roger doesn't come to eat often, so the Tang Dynasty's royal family dinners can only have six people at most.

Leo Ao asked Tang Mo if he wanted to find out if there were any branches of the Tang Mo family. If necessary, please come back to enrich the royal family.

His proposal was rejected by Tang Mo, and Tang Mo also strictly prohibited the search for his relatives, and kept a low profile even if his relatives came to seek refuge.

 It’s not that he is unkind, but because he really doesn’t know how to get along with these people he doesn’t know at all. After all, he is a time-traveler. It doesn't matter if he is alone when he is poor. But when he becomes successful, he will have a bunch of poor relatives. He doesn't recognize it.

Sharing the joys and sorrows, he would rather give Weiss 1 million gold coins to squander freely than give 10,000 gold coins to support the eldest brother's second uncle's wife who is clinging to his second uncle's family.
