Chapter 742: Being happy alone is not as good as being happy together (fourth update, please subscribe)
Britain began their 1952 year in grief. In this year, they lost the old king, and of course they also welcomed The arrival of a young queen, the passing of the old king, and the ascension of the new king also made them full of expectations for the queen's rule.
As the Crown Prince, Elizabeth has absolutely no problem with her image. After all, as the Crown Prince, she has been deeply loved by the people for many years. Many British people even hope that Elizabeth II can re-create the British image. brilliant.
In fact, in the following decades, Elizabeth II reshaped Britain-at least to a certain extent, allowing the world to see how the royal family serves as a symbol of the country. In fact, it is Just a mascot.
Well, of course this has become a characteristic of me as a Great Britain!
In the days to come, although the influence of the British Empire will gradually decline, Elizabeth II will still work hard to maintain the connection between the United Kingdom and its overseas territories. In fact, the monarch is the only one left to maintain the feelings of the Commonwealth countries towards the United Kingdom. item.
Elizabeth II fulfilled this responsibility very well. In the following decades, she frequently visited the member states of the Commonwealth and did everything possible to maintain it.
Not only did he always work hard to be a good mascot, but he also played this role very well. In the end, countries including Australia, Canada, and New Zealand still chose kings and queens when the new century came.
From this point of view, Elizabeth II is competent. Although Lafayette witnessed the decline of the empire, he did his best to maintain Britain and reshape Britain to a certain extent.
But... none of this has anything to do with Li Yian.
After all, when it comes to Britain, what he thinks more about is how to take advantage of the decline of this "relative" to get a few bites of meat from it.
Well, that’s not right. It should be said that as a member of the Commonwealth, we faithfully fulfill our responsibilities and obligations - to protect the Commonwealth.
The British Empire is failing, and Nanyang can reluctantly take over this important task!
After the funeral, he took a flight back to Chang'an. Different from the last time he was fully armed when he took the 717, this time he only carried a few parachutes on the plane.
The reason why I am so reassured is because... after the funeral, C717 almost became a star. Li Yian offered to use it to transport dignitaries from various countries back to other countries - even he took such a big risk. Sitting on it, the joy of being alone is not as good as the joy of everyone. Let's try flying together with others.
Although most of the dignitaries from various countries finally chose their own country’s special plane. But the accompanying officials, especially the reporters, all wanted to experience the "White Swan" - this was the nickname given to C717 by the British newspaper.
After passing through Greenland for refueling, it flew across the ocean in less than seven hours, transporting some 80 officials from the United States and Canada and accompanying reporters to New York.
Because the noisy jet engines are placed at the rear of the aircraft, the quietness in the C717 cabin is significantly improved. All passengers were also impressed by the quiet cabin.
After getting off the plane, both officials and reporters could not help but admire it, and they expressed their opinions to the outside world.
“Flying across the Atlantic Ocean on the White Swan was an absolutely perfect experience and the journey was very comfortable.”
Not only did they say the entire trip was comfortable, but the service on board was also excellent and the food was delicious.
Can it be exquisite and delicious? In the past, it was all served to the king.
“It only took seven hours to fly across the Atlantic Ocean!”
For a time, the entire world praised Nanyang’s C717 jetliner.
This is a matter of great significance, which means that the C717 aircraft has already won praise from the market even before it was put into the market.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
After experiencing the speed and quietness of jet airliners, how could they still adapt to those propeller planes?
The market response has been positive. Even now, airlines from European and American countries are interested in the C717 aircraft.
I have to say, this advertisement is well worth it.
On the way back to Chang'an, while reading the praises of "White Swan" in the newspaper, the corners of Li Yian's mouth rose more than sixty degrees.
"Okay, it's basically stable!"
As long as the "White Swan" passenger plane does not have any major problems in the coming days, Li Yian feels that it may even sweep the world's civil aviation market, even now American companies such as Boeing, Douglas and Lockheed are really catching up. They don’t have three or four years to catch up with Nanyang. This means that at least in the next three years, Nanyang jetliners represented by the C717 "White Swan" will , all without any rivals.
When Boeing launches their product, you can even compete face to face with Boeing!
“This is not a leading advantage in the market!”
Li Yian couldn’t help but sigh again. The oligopolization of the civil aviation market in another world is very obvious, especially after the annexation of Douglas and the withdrawal of Lockheed. After the civil aviation market, Boeing is definitely the dominant player and is undoubtedly the number one, with a market share exceeding Airbus's 10%. These two passenger aircraft account for nearly 90% of the world's share.
Counting from now on, Nanyang will definitely have a few years of first-mover advantage. Although it is difficult to enter the U.S. market, it does not mean that it cannot be entered. Even the American market can be entered. After all, there are no similar products in the United States now. . Of course, there is no need to consider the British market for the time being. After all, the UK has their own Comet passenger aircraft. At least until the comet becomes a comet, Commonwealth countries including Australia, Canada and South Africa will never consider the comet.
Of course, when the comet turns into a comet, when Fatty Qiu pats his chest and says that the comet is absolutely safe, and then falls down again, the market will belong to Nanyang.
"The shopping mall is like a battlefield. There are some things that I can only say sorry for!"
With such emotion, Li Yian turned his eyes to the window and looked at the white clouds outside the window, which could still be vaguely seen. Nanyang is like a sapphire.
Finally almost home!
Half an hour later, the plane landed safely at Chang'an Airport. At the moment the plane landed, people who had been holding their hearts in their throats finally felt relieved.
Li Yian once again returned to his loyal Chang'an. At the airport, he met Lin Tonghua, the chief designer of the aircraft, and said to him as soon as he saw him.
"General Engineer Lin, this plane is great. You should already know it. It is the most famous white swan in the world right now!"
"I heard, I heard Already..."
Lin Tonghua seemed a little excited. After saying a few words, Li Yian got into the car. As soon as he got in the car, Yu Xiangdong said.
"Your Excellency, during your visit to the UK, some changes occurred in the situation in Southeast Asia."
"Oh!"
Li Yian looked at Yu Xiangdong and asked,
br>
“What happened?”
"Refugees."
"Refugees?"
Li Yian glanced at Yu Xiangdong and said,
"You mean the refugees from the French Central South side, right?"
While in the UK, he learned from the news that the situation in the French Indochina Federation was constantly deteriorating, and there were a large number of Tangshan refugees stranded there, all of whom had fled from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces a few years ago.
"Yes, now in the central and southern part of France, Vietnamese guerrilla attacks are intensifying. It has been difficult for the French army to control the situation outside the city. There are about 700,000 refugees stranded in the north. They are now in a very difficult situation."
In fact, Nanyang also sent ships to pick up those refugees, but not many were willing to come to Nanyang. Many of them were still looking forward to when they would go home.
It can only be said that no matter what time it is, there are always some people out there who have illusions.
I don’t have any idea in my heart, and I don’t want to think about why I lost the world?
What are you dreaming about?
Looking at His Excellency who remained silent, Yu Xiangdong said.
“If we don’t do something, they are likely to fall into the flames of war and end up dying in a foreign country.”
This is not just because they are Compatriots are more compassionate, and of course what Nanyang has always promoted - all overseas are compatriots and family members.
Of course they couldn’t do anything in this situation, and they died in a foreign country. Moreover, the arrival of those people can further enrich Nanyang's population.
No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.
"Yeah."
Nodded, Li Yian said,
"Let's coordinate with the French. If they are willing to come, take them over. Now and in the future, our policy They are all unanimous - Nanyang is the home of all Tang people, but only if they are willing to come."
