Chapter 869 God Bless Daying (Fourth Update, please subscribe)
Ordinary people care about firewood, rice, oil and salt, but what about the superiors?

Of course, the superiors also care about daily necessities, but most of the time, what they care about is... big things!
For Emperor Zhu, he was troubled by a major event right now.

In fact, it is not a trouble, it should be said that I was a little caught off guard!
The airship has been shot down!

When receiving this report, Emperor Zhu couldn't believe his ears, can he do this?

"...they first used machine guns to shoot the airship, punctured the airbag, caused the hydrogen gas to leak, and then used the signal bomb to ignite the hydrogen gas, thus achieving the purpose of destroying the airship."

Listening to Wang Xinyue's report, Emperor Zhu's expression was extremely complicated.

That's fine too...

"The two airships they destroyed like this?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, as early as two years ago, Major Ding Yunhai began to study the tactics of intercepting airships, and studied some air combat tactics, this time is some kind of attempt, Your Majesty..."

Wang Xinyue looked at His Majesty, without asking, he could feel how...heavy His Majesty's mood was.

What is a plan that can't keep up with changes? Isn't it that plans can't keep up with changes?Emperor Zhu managed to lure the British into the trap of airships, telling them that airships are amazing and that airships are the future.

Unexpectedly, the brave attempt of an airship officer directly exposed the biggest weakness of the airship.

The machine guns were holed and the flares ignited.

This is a bit unbelievable, but he did it. Although only two ships were destroyed, he did achieve his goal - to intercept and shoot down the enemy's airship.

"After returning to the base, Major Ding Yunhai submitted another report. He requested to develop a new type of 20mm artillery shell for intercepting airships. The warhead of this artillery shell can be used as a reference signal bomb, and a signal agent is installed in the hollow warhead..."

Ding Yunhai...

How do you let me evaluate you?
Listening to Wang Xinyue's explanation, Emperor Zhu's mood became more complicated. The signal agent was added to the cannonball. This is not the cannonball type of the tracer bullet. Compared with the tracer bullet, it is more powerful, and it is simply a natural "airship hunter". Once such shells are launched, the airship will be eliminated overnight!
"Your Majesty, I think Ding Yunhai's suggestion can be adopted. After all, after this battle, Western countries will definitely attract and learn from Ding Yunhai's tactics. At that time, similar shells will surely come out one after another. Even if we don't make them, Western countries It will also be manufactured, after all, hydrogen is flammable and explosive, this is a well-known thing, and they will definitely conduct research on this aspect."

Wang Xinyue's words made Emperor Zhu nodded approvingly. In fact, sometimes things are not as perfect as people imagined.Any industrial country that can manufacture airships can also manufacture hydrogen, so how could they not know the weakness of hydrogen?
Even if there is no suitable weapon to attack airships now, it doesn’t mean there won’t be any in the future. A major in the airship unit of the Ming Army can come up with a method for air combat. The British and French will certainly conduct research in this area.

Nodding his head, Emperor Zhu said.

"Let the arsenal conduct research in this area!"

Emperor Zhu's words are basically equivalent to a death sentence for airships, but as we all know, where there is a spear, there is a shield. Although the years of airships' unscrupulous rampage are over, it does not mean that its era will end. After all, no country will ignore it. The great power that the airship has demonstrated in the war can only be further perfected and improved at most.Improvements in various aspects such as tactics ensure that airships can continue to be used in warfare.

"Let's hope Britain can hold on!"

After Wang Xinyue left, Emperor Zhu thought for a while, and then said to himself.

"Perhaps we can add more fire!"

Add more fire, how to turn back the fire?

After thinking for a while, Emperor Zhu picked up the phone and called Zhu Guozhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Hey, Guozhong, tell the ambassadors of France, Russia, and Austria-Hungary that we can sell them new airships and transfer the bombing and targeting technology of the airships."

If you want others to go down a dark road, at least give them a hope!

What is hope?
Of course, it is Daming's new sight and bomb delivery system. In fact, now that Ming has started to develop a new type of bomb sight and sold old-style sights to France and Russia, what is the most important point?
It is to allow the United Kingdom to obtain these technologies from these countries, and to let the United Kingdom see the great power of airships in actual combat, and then go to the end of a black road.

"Your Majesty, France and Russia should be very happy to hear this news, and it will also help strengthen the relationship between the alliances."

Zhu Guozhong's words reached Emperor Zhu's ears, and he just smiled indifferently. After Daming bombed and sunk the Brazilian ship with an airship, France, especially France, did not have many warships, and there was almost no naval power in the Black Sea. The existence of Russia immediately expressed the desire to buy Ming's airships to make up for their lack of naval power in the Black Sea, and Ming neither directly refused nor agreed to this.That's Daming's trump card, so how can it be easily shown to others?
Now that Emperor Zhu made a phone call, he undoubtedly opened up foreign exports, which naturally helped to consolidate the relationship between the "Four Nations Alliance".

"Tell them I want to see them wipe Turkey from the world with an airship!"

What they erased was Turkey, but what the world saw was the power of the airship. This is a simple advertisement!
Almost as soon as the phone hung up, Zhu Guozhong told the ambassadors of the two countries that Ming approved the export of airships and bombing systems to France and Russia. Amidst the joy of the two ambassadors, the two sides even finalized the agreement directly on the phone. Orders for up to 60 airships.

For Daqing Airship Company, this is undoubtedly a very large order. On the day when his order was signed, Major Klein, the naval attache of the British Embassy, ​​also learned of the news. Finally, he even whistled a little excitedly.

"Well, now Britain also has the opportunity to obtain this technology!"

The reason why he is so proud is because in Russia or France... as long as there is money, there must be someone willing to quietly sell this technology to the UK.

"This is definitely good news for the UK!"

When speaking, the corners of Brian's lips raised lightly.

"Well, at least for now God is still on the side of the British Empire!"
