Chapter 740 The most awesome choice (second update, please subscribe)

In fact, it can't be called sympathy at all. It would be more accurate to say that I am thinking about it. Of course, what he was thinking about was not his sister-in-law's person, but her huge family fortune. Such a huge family property as the British Empire would be disintegrated by the United States and Soviet Russia in the next few decades. As a good son-in-law of George VI, how could he bear to watch the British Empire's family property fall into the hands of others?
So it is natural to stand up and shoulder the heavy responsibility at this time. Besides, it’s better to fall into one’s own hands than it is to fall into other people’s hands, right? Especially if it falls into the hands of tyrants and the like.

Don't let the rich water flow to outsiders' fields.

Yes, that’s the truth!
Just like that, it was not easy to think about my sister-in-law in my heart. When I made up my mind to help her take care of the family business, although the pace was very slow, Li Yian finally reached the second floor. Before he reached the living room, he heard Margery Special laughter.

Thinking of Margaret's love for her father, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little headache. Is there any way to make it easier for her to accept?

Obviously, there is no rhetoric for this kind of thing.

When Li Yian walked to the living room, Princess Margaret was chatting with Heidi and the others. When she saw Li Yian, she showed a bright smile.

At this moment, Li Yian obviously backed down.

But this kind of thing cannot be delayed. With a secret sigh, Li Yian walked over.

When he came, Margaret also noticed the solemn expression on his face, so she stood up.

Do you know what words are?
Li Yian's heart was filled with hundreds of thousands of grass and mud horses.

When they arrived at the place where the crown prince lived, they learned that the crown prince had already gone out to play!
"She doesn't know, she doesn't know yet!"

Patting his wife's back gently, Li Yian reminded her with a calm voice, and at the same time winked at Hepburn, Heidi and others, asking them to persuade her.

The stubbornness and determination shown in Margaret's eyes were unquestionable.

"No, I must rush to London immediately, immediately! Didn't you say he is the fastest and the safest?"

His wife's words made Li Yian feel a little dizzy.

"I want to take the 717 plane there!"

What should we do now?
Do I have to take him to the house and clean it up, and then call daddy to be obedient?

And Margaret emphasized,
"Go there now. I have read the newspaper. It is the fastest plane. I must get to London as soon as possible!"

That guy just took a test flight less than a month ago!

At the same time, in the resort hotel under the Kilimanjaro Snow Mountain in Kenya, British East Africa, Crown Prince Elizabeth and his wife, who were on a tour on behalf of King George VI, also learned the news - but the accompanying reporters still got there first. Got the news.

what!
Now it was Li Yian's turn to be dumbfounded!
717 aircraft!

……

"Do not……"

"Just now, I received a telegram from London. Your father, the King of England..."

"I want to get to London immediately! I want to be with him... My God, I should spend more time with him. I want to go with him now."

"Honey, it's still flying!"

Tears instantly covered Margaret's eyes, and Li Yian held her in his arms. Listening to Princess Margaret's tragic cry, Li Yian just patted her back gently.

"Margaret, I know you are sad, but the top priority now is to return to London immediately. I believe Elizabeth must be on her way now."

Margaret raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and said in a very firm tone.

"What's wrong honey?"

For reporters, this was big news, so reporters sent telegrams or called London to tell London that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not know the news of the king's death.

But she didn't know that it only took a few dozen minutes. Soon Elizabeth, who was in the grassland, learned the news. With tears on her face, she regretted not being able to accompany her father and immediately took a car to the airport with her husband, Prince Philip.

On the way to the airport, Prince Philip, whose hairline had receded significantly, looked at his wife and couldn't help but sigh. He knew Elizabeth's days as his wife were over.

Once she became queen, he himself would be her subject, along with everyone else in Britain.

Elizabeth, with tears on her face, looked out the window silently and said as if she was thinking of something.

"Does Margaret know? She loves him so much!"

……

In fact, Margaret is far less painful than Li Yi'an!

According to the principle that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall, Li Yian should never let her fool around, but sometimes women are so unreasonable.

Now, he finally understood Heda Corn on the Cob.

Just like before Heda Corncob visited the United States, because the Tu-114 had not yet been finalized, but in order to show the country's prestige, he still wanted to go to the United States on the Tu-114, which could fly directly to the United States. He specially found Tupolev. , asked how safe it is to travel to the United States on a Tu-114.

Now, the same is probably true for Li Yian. He also called the chief designer Lin Tonghua over.

"Can the 717 fly to the UK? I mean, as my special plane! Let's leave now!"

Faced with your inquiry, Lin Tonghua was a little confused. According to regulations, aircraft that have not yet been officially finalized cannot carry passengers, let alone as your special plane!

But facing the gaze cast by Your Excellency, Lin Tonghua said confidently.

"I absolutely believe that there won't be any accidents. Both the ground test and the current flight test are very smooth. When the WP100 engine was tested on the ground, it ran continuously for 500 hours without any failure. Our C717 aircraft has reliable mechanical performance. The aircraft can withstand the load and has carried out many long-distance flights continuously.”

Lin Tonghua's answer made Li Yian think for a moment and then said.

"Get ready, Margaret and I are going to England...King George VI has passed away."

Looking at Your Excellency in surprise, Lin Tonghua said again.

"Your Excellency, please allow me to go with you."

Of course Li Yian knew what it meant, just like when Tupolev told Heda Corncob to let his son go with him, it was just to reassure the other party, so he waved his hand and said.

"There is no need, I trust your judgment!"

In fact, Li Yi'an, who has the skills of an aircraft engineer, also has his own judgment. In the past twenty days, five C5 passenger aircraft have conducted more than 717 hours of flight tests, and have repeatedly tested long-distance routes from Chang'an to Dongning.

First of all, there must be no problem with the engine. After all, Rolls-Royce's "Conway" engine, although it is the world's first turbofan engine, has always been praised for its reliability and durability. If not If there is anything wrong with it, it is that it is a bit expensive, and its fuel consumption advantage is not that obvious compared to turbojet engines.

In terms of lifespan and reliability, it is definitely not worse than its successors - even until the 80s, there were still many aircraft using the first-generation Conway engines produced in the 50s. It must be said that the Rolls-Royce company of the British Empire was still very capable. of.

Furthermore, from the overall design of the aircraft, there is definitely no problem. If there was a problem, it would have been exposed long ago, and it would not be exposed until now.

Ok!

Think of this adventure as advertising for Nanyang's aviation industry!

The world's first transcontinental jet aircraft, compared to the comet, the Nanyang aircraft is more awesome!
With this thought in mind, two hours later, Li Yian, Margaret and others arrived at the airport. Of course, before leaving, Li Yian also made comprehensive arrangements, such as handing over state affairs to the vice president, who is considered his own family. In the past few visits, it was always that person who looked after the house. Normally, he was willing to be a clay Buddha, taking care of his granddaughter and grandson at home, and making the grandson happy.

However, that guy is still competent at looking after the house.

But even so, after getting on the plane, he took off his suit, and then...

"parachute?"

Margaret watched Li Yian put the parachute on his body and wondered.

"Dear, you, what are you..."

"We have to make all preparations!"

Li Yian shrugged his shoulders helplessly. In order to accompany Margaret to go crazy, he even specially activated a function - skydiving.

This desire to survive is absolutely full.

"Didn't you say it is the safest airplane in the world? Why do you need this?"

Margaret wondered.

"Just in case, honey!"

"So I've also prepared a set for you. Come on, dear, put on the parachute first!"

Li Yian took out a set of paratrooper equipment and even took the initiative to help Margaret put it on. Now, even if the couple quickly joined the paratroopers, it would be appropriate.

Looking at Li Yi'an who personally put on the parachute for herself, Margaret was so moved that she almost shed tears, she said.

"Otherwise, we'd better take another plane."

It was only then that she realized the risks of her willfulness, but at this time Li Yian quit.

"No need to change it anymore, this is it!"

The atmosphere has already reached this point, so if we change it again...it's too late, it's too late, the question is who will advertise this!

Although he did not have a simulation plug-in for "Start Deduction, American Tycoon", he still had great trust in this aircraft based on the aeronautical engineer skills that Tongzi had activated in the past.

But if you can trust it, you must have insurance.

In this way, under the gaze of everyone, two C717s took off from Chang'an Airport one after another. After the plane took off, Li Yian, who was still a little nervous, glanced at the other C717 plane behind him. There were Marines sitting there. In the past, in addition to two C95s, he also had a seaplane when he visited. If there was an accident on the plane, after he parachuted, the Marines would also follow him, and then the seaplane would follow. Search and rescue in nearby waters.

Of course, these are all plans, just the kind of plans that are never implemented. But now...the seaplane can't keep up with the jetliner.

"God bless, but we must arrive safely!"

In this way, amidst Li Yi'an's prayers, the two C717 aircraft flew all the way towards the UK at an altitude of meters. During the period, they stopped at New Delhi Airport and Istanbul Airport for refueling. After refueling at Istanbul Airport, they flew directly to London.

It has to be said that the C717 cabin environment is still very comfortable. The tail-mounted engine makes the cabin very quiet, even unexpectedly quiet. Although he was a little worried, Li Yian fell asleep in the end, wearing a parachute...
