Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

Chapter 148

Polin Airport.

According to a radio bulletin from Huaxia Civil Aviation.

The C-100 passenger plane from Huaxia is expected to arrive at the airport around 9 a.m. tomorrow.

The plane has already taken off from Tuji, less than ten hours away from them.

At the time of receiving this message.

The airport staff were amazed.

I didn't expect that this passenger plane from Huaxia actually flew over.

And they have all arrived in the native chicken, just a stone's throw from Europe.

The key is how long it takes.

How did their plane fly so far and so fast.

No wonder they were so consterned.

After all, in this era with biplanes as the mainstream.

Not only does the plane carry few passengers, but it is also very slow, basically only more than a hundred kilometers per hour.

The range is also not far, basically only a few hundred kilometers.

Therefore, the vast majority of people simply do not believe that the Chinese passenger plane on this route can fly over.

Because this is completely beyond their understanding.

The results not only came, but also came so quickly.

Most people don't believe it.

But there is a group of people who also believe and have been paying attention to the dynamics of this flight.

This group is none other than the members of the Nazi Party, headed by Mustache.

By the German officer corps of the Northeast Army and by Seckert in detail.

The northeast of China has attracted his great attention.

Its equipment technology is so advanced that it has even surpassed Europe.

Whether it is in terms of army science and technology, or in the aviation industry.

Among the most impressive images of him was the aviation industry and their tanks.

It is precisely knowing that the aircraft in northeast China are very powerful.

So they knew that the plane would definitely be able to reach Europe safely.

Mustache said he would go to the airport to observe it himself.

In addition to wanting to see this large passenger plane from Huaxia.

Also because Seckert is on this plane.

His body is not very good.

At the same time, it is not very adapted to the climate in the northeast.

So he chose to return to Germany.

And the Wehrmacht side will also resend personnel to China.

Not only mustaches, but also the German Junkers officer corps attached great importance to the Northeast.

They are not ordinary advanced equipment in the northeast.

So they have also been trying to deal with the northeast and maintain good relations.

For example, this time the Northeast Army proposed to recruit some experienced workers.

Especially when shipbuilders came to work in China.

They offered to help the Northeast and assist in recruitment in their own countries.

With the opening of this intercontinental route, the first batch of staff from the German recruitment office also came, totaling more than 30 people.

In addition, Vulcan Industry Co., Ltd., Northeast Ordnance Industry Group 600, Yingkou Shipyard, Northeast Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. and many other enterprises have successively set up offices or branches in Germany.

So there were no passengers who spent money on this flight.

The news that the first transcontinental airliner from northeastern China would arrive at the airport at 10 a.m. the next day spread quickly.

When the time came to nine o'clock the next morning.

The entire Polin Tempel Hoffmann Airport poured in with more than 10,000 people.

Only half of them are native to Poulin.

The rest are melon-eating masses and the media from various European countries.

Mustache, Fat Ge, Himmler, Heydrich, Röhm and other cronies appeared at the airport.

This has also aroused the warm welcome of many local people.

The mustache is now very famous in Germany.

His Nazi Party is currently the first party in Germany.

Just wait for the next year's election, he will soar, and no one can stop him.

"Almost there?"

An airport worker glanced at his watch.

"Mr. Adolf, according to the dynamic calculations reported by the Chinese passenger plane, they have now entered German airspace.

There is still about 100 kilometers to sail from Polin, and it only takes 20 minutes to start landing. "

The mustache said with some surprise: "100 kilometers only takes 20 minutes, the speed of their passenger plane is so fast?"

He knew the plane was carrying 89 people.

It can be called the world's first passenger aircraft.

It is also the passenger aircraft with the largest number of passengers in the entire history of aviation in the world.

This load is only a huge airship can accommodate such passengers.

The 20 minutes passed quietly while waiting.

The whole airport is very lively at the moment.

There was a lot of buzz everywhere.

"Faksquid, why did his machine really come? "

"God, is my 100,000 francs gone?

Why can they build planes that fly so far?"

"Shitty experts, didn't they say that the planes of the Huaxia people will fall halfway down because of falling parts?

I've pressed more than £30,000, it's over!"

Obviously, there are not many gamblers in the crowd.

The reason why they came to the airport.

I just want to know if the plane from Huaxia can arrive safely.

However, with the broadcast of the airport.

It was clear that the result was a disappointment.

This also makes many people wear a mask of pain.

After all, there are not a few people who have pressed their entire net worth.

So a lot of people (CJEG) didn't want the plane to come to Polin.

"It's coming!"

This exclamation shattered their last hopes.

At the same time, it also attracted everyone's attention.

At this moment, a black dot appeared in the sky.

Under the guidance of the tower, it has entered the landing channel.

At this moment, everyone stopped talking and looked at the passenger plane from the far east with bated breath.

"Wow, Mom, what a big plane. "

"Oh God, is this really an airplane from the East? "

"Why does it only have one wing so it doesn't fall apart? "

"It's incredible, it's not only the biggest plane I've ever seen, it's also the coolest. "

"It actually flew 15,000 kilometers from the far east to the European Polling, which was a wonderful and exciting trip.

I must go and take this plane. "

"I also want to sit, and I think the media propaganda must be wrong.

How could the Orientals be able to build such a huge aircraft, how could they lag behind.

Hopefully the ticket price is something I can afford. "

The mustache is a little upturned at the moment.

He stared wide-eyed at the white airliner that was landing toward the runway.

Huge size, four high-horsepower engines, cantilever lower wing:

It had a big impact on him.

"We also want such planes....."

At this moment, his mood was very excited.

If they had such an aircraft, they could carry their soldiers anywhere in Europe.

This maneuver is unmatched by any mode of transportation.

Did he know that the transport range of this passenger plane can be as high as 3500 kilometers?

"Squeaky ..."

The C-100 smashed heavily on the concrete runway.

The brake brake system starts to start.

After taxiing for hundreds of meters, the huge passenger plane finally stopped smoothly on the runway.

"Miracle, it's a journey that's a miracle. "

"This will go down in the annals of world aviation. "

"I think Napoleon was right, the East is a sleeping lion, and now it has begun to open its eyes. "

The reporters at the front began waving their cameras and began to shoot to their heart's content.

The moment the cabin doors opened and the elderly Seckert stepped down from the plane.

It caused cheers from the audience.

Just as they say.

It was a miraculous and unprecedented flight.

It greatly shortens the journey from East to West.

And this miracle was created by the Easterners.

At this moment, the four big characters of Northeast Commercial Aviation printed on the tail of the aircraft were also deeply imprinted in their minds.

From this moment on, the whole of Europe and even the West will be sensationalized by this miraculous transcontinental flight.

At the same time, it also allows some people to see business opportunities from here.

It is capable of spanning fifteen thousand kilometers.

From the far east, it reached Polin in just five transfers. (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!)

This is already a testament to the powerful performance and reliability of this airliner.

If it is used to perform medium and long-range flight missions.

Especially the route from Europe to the Americas.

If you use Iceland as a springboard.

It can fly directly to the native of Eagle Sauce.

It's a huge, untapped market.

When someone learned that the staff of the Northeast Commercial Flying Office responsible for building this passenger plane was on this plane.

They came to the door.

Don't underestimate the sense of smell of capital.

As long as they can make money, their efficiency will be very high.

Northeast COMAC Co., Ltd. came this time is Yao Fei, deputy general manager of Northeast COMAC.

He was also appointed Head of COMAC's European Office.

This trip across Asia and Europe.

For the C-100, it is the best advertisement.

Just starting to fly, it has become the focus of events in Europe at the moment.

As long as it is safe to arrive.

Then the fame of the C-100 passenger aircraft is beaten.

Then just wait for the order to come to your door.

However, this C-100 passenger aircraft is not the main product of Northeast Commercial Aircraft.

The C-110, adapted from the C-47 transport aircraft, is their workhorse.

The demand for intercontinental travel is inherently limited.

Because the long voyage is destined to be very expensive.

And the short- and medium-haul routes are the most profitable.

So the C-110 is responsible for this market.

Historically, the emergence of DC-3 airliners changed the landscape of air transport in the 30s and 40s.

Before the outbreak of World War II, ninety percent of all airlines purchased this DC-3.

From here, you can see how successful this aircraft is.

As for why the C-110 was not used for this flight.

Naturally, because its range is slightly shorter.

It has a range of only 2600 km.

A full 100 km less than the C-900.

It is not suitable for long-distance intercontinental flight routes.

Besides, just take the C-100 as a big success in the market.

Do you still have to worry about the order of the C-110 passenger aircraft?

As for whether this will leak secrets, there is no need to worry at all.

The historical DC-3 airliner first flew in 35 years.

It's been less than three years since then.

So don't worry too much about leaks.

Even if they dismantle the engine and study it, they can't see any doorway.

Reverse engineering of aero engines is no joke.

Not to mention in this era when there were not even computers.

The next day, the European media published about the miracle created by the C-100 passenger aircraft.

Sure enough, it made a huge sensation in Europe.

People in all European countries were amazed and shocked by this incident.

If this is the work of any European or American power.

They are still okay with it.

After all, Europe and the United States are the center of the world and the most developed places in science and technology.

And what the hell is Huaxia?

However, this does not affect the success of the C-100 passenger aircraft in Europe and the United States.

Lufthansa in Germany sent senior personnel to find Yao Fei.

The main purpose of their visit this time is to inquire about the price of the C-100 passenger aircraft, the specific flight performance and operating costs.

They want to be the only airline in Europe to open intercontinental routes.

This will also raise Lufthansa's profile in Europe.

And they see an opportunity to transform the air transport industry.

Flying with passengers can also become one of the profit points of their company.

It should be known that the biplanes of this era are difficult to perform medium and long-range air transport tasks.

Not to mention carrying passengers.

At present, the main business of the aviation industry is airmail, cargo transportation, etc.

Passenger transport is currently limited to short-haul passenger transport and aerial sightseeing.

The appearance of the C-100 passenger aircraft gave them hope to break this situation.

It can carry 89 people, has a maximum range of 3,500 kilometers and a cruising speed of 320 kilometers per hour.

It's a dream plot.

It is very suitable for medium and long-range routes.

Although there will be more stops on the way.

But so what?

The time savings are staggering.

A one- or two-month voyage takes only two or three days to complete.

How to choose is self-evident.

So it's a huge new market.

They are waiting for them to clear the land.

Yao Fei received them warmly.

At the same time, they were introduced to the details of the C-100 passenger aircraft.

It also gave them a deeper understanding of the C-100.

Operating costs and maintenance costs are not as high as they think.

Because this airliner itself is a full-fledged model.

The C-54 transport aircraft withstood the test of the entire World War II.

When the specific data, operating costs, and maintenance costs are known.

A smile also appeared on the face of the Lufthansa executive.

Then there's the price.

This is also one of the operating costs, and it is also the largest.

In terms of selling price, the price is also within their affordability.

It costs only $350,000 a piece.

If calculated based on the average fare of $200 on the route.

You only need to carry more than 1,700 people to return the cost through the fare.

Of course, this refers to the cost of the passenger aircraft, and does not include operating costs and maintenance costs.

But it won't take two years to start making a profit, and it's not low.

So the Lufthansa executives happily went back to report on the situation.

At the same time, they also began to quickly investigate the market and formulate routes.

As soon as Hanseatic left on the front foot, British Imperial Airlines came to the door.

To say that the demand for medium and long-range transcontinental flights is the highest.

Then Britain is definitely at the forefront.

The current British Empire is known as the Empire of the World Day.

Their colonies are spread all over the world.

Especially the most important white elephant country.

It was also their most important colony.

As early as 26 years ago, they opened a route from Britain to the white elephant country.

However, the stops on this route are a bit intimidating, which also leads to very high operating costs.

This C-100 passenger plane that flew from China to Polin was naturally seen by them.

In this way, they only need to fly through Egypt or somewhere in the Middle East to fly anywhere in the white elephant country.

This is a convenience that they can't do with any of their current transport aircraft.

What's more, this airliner, which has undergone late improvement, is not high in operating costs and maintenance costs, and its reliability is also very high.

Although the price is not low, they are completely acceptable.

So they directly placed a purchase order for 10 aircraft.

The average unit price was £87,500, with a total value of £875,000, or $3.5 million.

And that's not even including after-sales these.

These ongoing revenues are the most profitable.

And this is just the beginning of the explosive sales of the C-100 passenger aircraft.
