Lord Moyu was forced to open

"Everyone, this is the latest research result of my Tiangong Institute, the airship and hot air balloon!
These two names were given by His Majesty himself!"

After arriving at the parade ground in the southern city of Bianjing, as soon as they entered the camp, two huge monsters caught the eyes of the court officials.

They were two oval objects that were as huge as a 3,000-ton ship. A basket of about 100 square meters was hung underneath. The basket was tied with ropes all around, and the other end of the rope was tied to a wooden stake on the ground. The basket was actually suspended about half a meter above the ground!
This means that if the basket was not tied with ropes around it, wouldn't it be able to fly?
Looking to the side, there was a round object that was larger on the top and smaller on the bottom floating in the sky, with a basket hanging underneath it that was large enough for six people to stand in.

According to Liu Zhengfeng's introduction, the one in front is an airship and the one in the back is a hot air balloon.

The court officials were all stunned when they saw this thing!
Zhang Zheng was speechless for a while, then he turned his head and looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "Your Majesty! What are you planning?"

Zhao Jun smiled and looked at the two things and said, “Didn’t Europa have a breakthrough in shipbuilding technology?
Well, then let us show them what the air force is!
Do you think that I have been having fun every day without attending court these years?

Ever since the Tiangong Academy developed these two things two years ago, I have already recruited 10,000 people from the newly recruited million-strong army to train as the first generation of air force for my Song Dynasty!
The Song Dynasty's air force has been training for two years now, and it's time to show off our strength to those who think they can stand up again!"

Zhang Zheng understood what this meant. Just by looking at the appearance of these two things, he knew what they could be used for without Zhao Jun even telling him!
This is something that can fly into the sky!

If this flies over the enemy's head and throws the explosive pack down, the opponent will just be bombed and they won't even be able to fight back!

The Song Dynasty directly gained air superiority and could launch unlimited attacks on the enemy!

Zhang Zheng immediately asked impatiently: "Your Majesty, how much of this kind of stuff do we have in reserve in the Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Jun looked at Liu Zhengfeng, and Liu Zhengfeng quickly replied: "Your Majesty, and all the gentlemen, we now have a reserve of 1,000 hot air balloons and 200 airships in Tiangong Academy.

It takes 25 people to operate an airship, but only five to operate a hot air balloon.

"And what about the fuel that makes these things fly?"

Zhang Zheng immediately asked again.

He saw that these things all consumed something similar to a wick base, with something black burning inside. This should be the fuel that allowed these things to fly into the sky.

"That's flaming oil. Based on the amount of oil stored in the airship, our airship can fly to a height of one thousand feet above the ground and can fly 60 miles per hour. If the airship is not loaded with anything else but flaming oil, the longest flight time can reach ten days.

This flight time increases or decreases with the amount of pyrotechnic oil loaded on the airship.

The average speed of a hot air balloon is 70 kilometers per hour. It can go even faster if there is a tailwind. However, its flight time is only two hours. Due to its size, it can only carry a limited amount of fuel and can only last for two hours at most. However, compared with an airship, the take-off conditions of a hot air balloon are much easier. It only needs a place to unfold.

Airships need some relatively flat and open areas.”

After listening to Liu Zhengfeng's introduction, Zhang Zheng was so excited that he was almost speechless.

He kept muttering, "Enough! Enough! Enough!
Such speed and endurance are enough to catch the enemy off guard! The rest can be left to our fleet!"

Immediately, Zhang Zheng bowed to Zhao Jun and said, "Your Majesty! I request that you immediately transfer the air force to Malaysia to support the front line in East Asia, carry out air strikes against the Europa Fleet, and help our Song Dynasty open the way to the Exile Continent!
After we open up the road, we can even use the Exile Continent to carry out aerial bombings on the European mainland to avenge today's grievances!"

"I have had this intention for a long time!"

Zhao Jun nodded and agreed. Wasn't this the reason why he brought them here?
Zhao Jun immediately turned around and looked at Zhao Jian, who was already looking at the two things with shining eyes, and said, "Prince!"

Zhao Jian quickly came back to his senses and bowed respectfully: "Your son is here!" Zhao Jun nodded and then said: "I personally order you to be the first commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty Air Force. At the same time, the Military Affairs Council will establish a new Air Force Minister, and the Crown Prince will serve concurrently as the Minister!"

"Ah? This..."

Zhao Jian was shocked by his father's decision. After a while, he said, "But father, I don't know how to fight in the air, right?"

Zhao Jun waved his hand: "It's okay!"

Then he shouted loudly: "Li Zhongru!"

"Chen is here!"

Not far away, a man in navy blue military uniform ran over quickly. Zhao Jun pointed at him and said, "This is the current Air Force's headquarters and your deputy commander. With him here, you don't have to worry about the problems you're worried about."

Seeing this, Zhao Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.

"I, your son, thank you, father! Please rest assured, father! I will lead the air force to serve the Song Dynasty with all my heart and soul until my death!"

"Humph, I don't need you to devote yourself to me. Just clean up the mess you made for me."

Zhao Jun snorted coldly and turned to leave, but stopped halfway and turned around to order: "Get familiar with the air force, and set off in three days!

Take back the exiled continent for me, and let those villains in Europe see how powerful the Song Dynasty is!"

"My son understands!"

Zhao Jian bowed down!

All the officials in the rear bowed down in unison!
Three days later, the people of Bianjing saw a famous scene that they would remember for the rest of their lives: a swarm of flying objects rose from the south city, covering the entire sky, and moved majestically towards the southeast.

At first, the people thought that a monster had appeared and were in great panic.

Not long after, more news came that the scary thing was not medicine, but a new weapon of their Song Dynasty.

At this moment, they officially set out for the southeast to give the disobedient Europa a slap in the face.

Immediately, this news made the people of Bianliang excited, and they celebrated by shouting "Long live the Song Dynasty".

With such a horrible weapon they were no match for Europa who could still jump up and down.

The sight of airships and hot air balloons flying by was clearly seen by the people along the way from Bian Jing to the port, and it caused a stir throughout the Song Dynasty.

After the warships were loaded, these new weapons of the Song Dynasty headed for East Asia immediately, carrying everyone's expectations!

Europa, your devil is back!
