Chapter 1805 Security Treaty
More than a dozen horses pulled the Dragon biplane through the streets of London, and the wings of the biplane caused a lot of trouble to pass.

The Dragon biplane has a wingspan of 8.5 meters, and it is undoubtedly difficult to pass through the lively urban area.

Residents on the street have to temporarily avoid three strange "monsters".

So three dragon biplanes swaggered past the main streets of London, and many children followed curiously, as if they wanted to get a glimpse of what this big thing was doing.

"Very strange thing, what is it for?"

A nobleman happened to be on the street and was very puzzled when he saw the customs officer personally escorting the Dragon biplane, so he stopped a customs officer and asked them.

If it is an ordinary resident, these customs officials will not necessarily pay attention to them.

However, if the other party is an aristocrat, then it is different: "Airplane, haven't you heard of it? It can carry people to the sky. As long as a person sits there, it is like steering a car and flies to the sky."

"Oh, are you kidding me? Flying into the sky? Is this a miracle?"

The nobles obviously didn't believe it.Flying into the sky, no one can do it except gods, angels and wizards.

"I swear to the priest, it is absolutely true, you will soon see the scene of them flying into the sky. Our Majesty the Queen and a few nobles have seen this kind of thing at the World Expo in the East." The customs official said confidently.

I heard that even Queen Sophia and a few nobles had seen the strange machine flying into the sky, and the nobles who asked the question and the citizens who gathered around were suddenly interested.

During the discussion, they all said that it was still hard to believe that it was impossible for anyone to have god-like abilities.

At Chu Yun's request, Sophia allocated a piece of royal land to lay aprons, runways and houses for an aviation team that he dispatched, which is not considered an army.

The dangerous behavior of enclosing a piece of land next to the most important city of a sovereign country for other countries to station aircraft caused the "aircraft panic" English nobles to protest.

It is said that this incident also caused the prime minister of the cabinet of England to seldom get into a stalemate with the queen, and was finally suppressed by the queen.

As a concession, the aviation squad stationed next to the city of London needs to sign a treaty that no aircraft should be used to attack any towns and citizens in England, the number of garrisons should be limited, and the aviation squad should be dispatched to protect England when England is in danger.

This treaty was called the "England Airspace Security Treaty" by later generations, that is, China has the right to station an air force in London, England to fight against the enemy, and at the same time, the garrison should provide armed protection when England is in danger.

After the "Security Treaty" was signed, the cabinet and nobles reluctantly agreed to Huaxia's move to send troops to England again after the warship entered the port of Portsmouth.

They regarded it as selling part of their sovereignty in exchange for the security of their own airspace.

"The European countries are laughing at us that England is controlled by the East. I think there is indeed such a trend."

"There is no way, the East is too strong. Although our Royal Army and Royal Fleet have been upgraded to the first-class level in Europe, they are not worth mentioning compared to their East. Also, they have machines that can fly around our heads, It is said that explosives can be thrown down below, do you have any way to deal with their planes?"

"Oh, it's true, even if that kind of thing falls into our hands, it can't be imitated. There is no way."

"Think about it from another angle. They are stationed in Portsmouth and the city of London. No one in Europe dares to use force against us. We can live in England for hundreds of years without worrying about being attacked. Wouldn't it save the cost of maintaining a large army? "

"Our coal and iron ore production has increased significantly in recent years, and the demand is all driven by the Chinese. They need a huge amount of coal and iron ore. Because the development of the coal mining and mining industry requires a large number of workers, our Unemployment has dropped dramatically and incomes have risen. Combine that with the influx of cleaner sugar, never-before-seen internal combustion engine cars, bicycles, kerosene lamps, rubber raincoats, tea, spices into the City of London, and it is clear that our standard of living has improved .There is money to be made, there is a job, we should not be so dissatisfied."

"According to Her Majesty, the Chinese plan to send people to us to build a railway from Birmingham to London after the Second World Expo."

"That's the only way. Although our economy has developed, it is really uncomfortable to lose part of our sovereignty."

After some discussion, the Prime Minister of the England Cabinet and a group of cabinet members still had to recognize the Security Treaty.

Now the Kyushu Army has the legal basis for stationing the fleet and army in Portsmouth, and the air force in the city of London-that is to protect its security in name instead of England.

No matter what the cabinet thinks, three Dragon biplanes were transported to the western suburbs some distance from the core of London.

There are already temporary empty houses here that can shelter the Dragon biplane from wind and rain and provide pilots with living quarters.

"There are very few facilities and it will take a long time to build."

The aviation team looked at the wasteland in front of them. Except for a few empty houses, there was no airfield or runway. All construction facilities had to be designed and specially built.

They will build an airport from scratch, which may later develop into an aviation base.

It always seemed a little strange to them to build an airport on another country's soil.

This is also unprecedented.

"The biplane we use can easily take off without a very good runway. After the simple runway is built, we will conduct a public flight show. If there are residents of the City of London who want to watch the show, they can come and watch. said members of the aviation team to the docking officer who brought them here.

"Really? We can see it fly into the sky with our own eyes?" Most of the officials in England had never seen the flight of a biplane, and they were full of expectations.

"That's a matter of course, anyone can come over." The aviation team said.

They followed Chu Yun's order to show the horror of biplanes in front of a large number of nobles and commoners in the West this time, so that they would panic about biplanes.

Generally, such a public display of a technology often means that the next generation of technology has already appeared locally.

In other words, the local aircraft manufacturing technology has undergone innovations, so the Dragon biplane with a wooden frame and Gamon cloth structure can appear in front of civilians with confidence.
