The journey starts from the Titanic

"Mutual each other. But you should also consider one or two, haven't you met a good one?" Situ Nan couldn't help but care.

There are many women in Robles, but they all throw away the usage fee after they are used up. In the past few years, the prodigal has always remained unchanged.

"I'm trying, I'm trying. You have to try it again to know which one is better!" Robles smiled shamelessly, "I have more freedom at this point. Haha."

"Okay. I can't tell you. But if I have time to visit Los Angeles, my child will be born soon." Situ Nan said with pride.He suddenly remembered the woman who was thousands of miles away.

The next day, Kennedy came to Robles Securities and Robles, as well as Fox, the vice president of Twentieth Century Entertainment, to implement investment in film and radio.

Situ Nan also left the mansion on the Hudson River and left Kuzdova reluctantly.

Situ Nan learned that the airplane genius Sikorsky had gathered a group of like-minded friends and went to Hartford, Connecticut to chase the dream of flying. Soon after, he established Sikorsky Aircraft Company.

For flying, Situ Nan has always maintained a full enthusiasm.Under his suggestion, Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company set up the Flying Dream Fund to fund some flying enthusiasts to fly aircraft produced by Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company for expeditions across the Atlantic Ocean.

new York.Thousands of people are empty.

The police cleared a straight and clean road at the pier and pulled up a cordon. More than 20 police chiefs in uniforms looked at the surroundings vigilantly, with some vigilant expressions.Think of the bombing on Wall Street, it is not difficult to understand the caution of the police.

There was a sudden cheer from the crowd, and a brightly painted plane was dragged out of the dock by a small boat and moored on the water not far away.

This is a biplane seaplane with a fat pontoon partially out of the water. It looks a little cute, but with its 20-meter-long wings, the nose is raised and pointed towards the sea, as if to tell people that this warrior will rush towards the vastness at any time. Of the Atlantic Ocean.

"It's enviable! Man, you are so lucky! What a good guy, I installed the engine myself, that guy is 250 horsepower."

Moored on the William not far from the pier, Paul looked at Rollins with regret with his binoculars.

"Thinking that you guy is about to make a feat of flying across the Atlantic, I'm so jealous that I can't kick you into the sea."

"Do you want your old man and brother-in-law to come to the Atlantic again to save the pilot Paul? Haha!"

Rawlins smiled, looking very proud, a little owed.Because I have participated in the Raphael Flying Team before, and Paul?Mellon is a close "machine friend", so the two have been communicating in an almost slapstick manner.

Hearing the words, Paul stagnated and sighed helplessly.He was the initiator of this flight to the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, because of his special status, he could not personally fly the plane that had devoted his countless efforts to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

"You said I flew over directly, will Eugene be surprised! His big mouth is so surprised that he can swallow the Atlantic Ocean!"

Rollins laughed, no longer stalking Paul.

Their black "aircraft friend" Eugene stayed in the French mixed foreign corps after the war, thinking that he could meet his old friends, Rawlins couldn't help but feel more confident in the flight.

After he himself returned to Texas, he wanted to continue working on his family farm.But I couldn't bear my loneliness. Paul was recruited to Los Angeles to continue his flight performances, and he was very busy as an instructor at the flight school.

Because of his superb skills, this lucky opportunity fell to him.

After a night of rest on the William, this blond young man, energetic, wanted to fly to Europe on the opposite side.

"Haha. I should go down, it misses me." Rollins gave Paul a hug, got on the speedboat parked beside the William, and drove to the seaplane.

"Greetings to that guy for me!" Paul shouted.Rollins looked back and waved....

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to fly across the Atlantic in this way. The money is worth it." Situ Nan smiled.

"This Columbus seaplane has condensed the hard work of our Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company engineers. Before we could fly all the way from Los Angeles, I believe it will not disappoint."

It's Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company's vice president, Wilfer?Leland, his father is the veteran of the aircraft company, Henry?Leland.

"Wilver, what do you think about our establishment of an airline after this success?" Situ Nan dang his cigar and looked at the Columbus not far away.

After the First World War, a large number of aircraft in the United States were retired from the military and became civilian cargo aircraft. Many savvy businessmen purchased those cheap aircraft groups to carry out their transportation business.

Mail and express delivery are one of the most important businesses, as well as a brand-new experiment.Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company has a transportation business unit that transports mail in several western states.

"Of course. If this time succeeds, we can ship the mail to Europe." Wilfer looked into the distance expectantly.

"European route? Good idea!" Situ Nan smiled.With the advantages established in the early stage, it is possible that future airlines can monopolize Atlantic routes.It is also an early exploration investment!

Compared with the booming aircraft technology, the situation of aircraft companies is not so good. After the loss of war orders, many aircraft companies have become unsustainable one after another.

Even the wealthy Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company is relying on its previous foundation to support it. If you want to make money, there is no way!After cutting down two-thirds of the production line, it is still losing money.

Even the transportation business department was formed because the warehouse had a lot of inventory, and they were reluctant to sell it to those merchants at low prices, so they had to set up their own air transportation business.

"How is the situation with the aircraft company?" Situ Nan asked.

When Wilfer was about to answer, suddenly there was a cheering from the dock, and hundreds of hats were swaying because the Columbus took off.

The four huge engines on the wings roared, and the strong wind from the propellers blew small waves on the water. The plane slowly pulled out, getting faster and faster, and finally jumped up in cheers. , Fly into the sky.

The proud pilot did not forget to wave his wings and bid farewell to everyone.

Must succeed!Rollins!

Paul looked into the distance, clenched his fists, and wished silently in his heart.

Leaping the Atlantic Ocean is a feat, will it succeed?Can human beings conquer the Atlantic sky?

Situ Nan's answer is yes, it would be better if Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company came to the present.

Situ Nan ignored the depressed brother-in-law and continued to discuss the aircraft company with Wilfer.

"Although the aircraft manufacturing industry is not very good now, and the commercialization of a truly mature aircraft is still a little far away, the research and development of aircraft must not lag behind. We must maintain a technological lead. I can afford to pay for this." Situ Nan is proud. Tao.

"Yeah. Now the company's business is at a loss, but the loss is not serious." Wilfer smiled, "It is thanks to your relationship with the boss. We can recover a lot of costs from the aircraft exported to Asia. Yes, we recently reached a cooperation with American Express in the transportation business, which has helped to improve our financial situation."

Compared to other aircraft manufacturers, Cummins-Lincoln's life is much better.According to the news that Situ Nan got in his colleagues, some aircraft companies should already be furniture companies.

This is not a joke. Most airplanes in the 1920s were made of wood, so it was more than enough to make the furniture that airplane manufacturers should make. After all, the requirements for the structure, hardness and smoothness of the wings are higher than those of furniture.

"That's good. I don't want Cummins-Lincoln, this brand that has finally been erected to smash, and I can't tolerate it becoming a furniture brand." Situ Nan said domineeringly.

"So not only can we not save money, but we must also develop monoplane and metal airplanes. That's when the aviation industry is truly brilliant.

You have ten years, Wilfer.You are the leader of the American aviation industry, you know?"Situ Nan encouraged.

Being so excited by Situ Nan, Wilfer immediately refreshed."Boss, don't worry! I won't lose to others when it comes to building airplanes!" Wilfer promised.

"That's good!" Situ Nan patted Wilfrank's shoulder vigorously.Although in his age, Wilfrank could be Situ Nan's father, but at this time Wilfer felt justified, and his bones were lighter.

The crowd on the pier gradually evacuated. The reporter who took many photos returned with expectation. After returning, he was ready to use the most gorgeous pen and ink to render this flying adventure, which I believe will attract a lot of public attention.

There are still some spectators on the dock who are still reluctant to leave, these pious people silently wishing to the sea.

Looking at the people who were constantly drawing crosses on their chests, Situ Nan felt that they were even more eager for success than the initiator, and felt a little bit emotional.

This feeling was like the Chinese astronauts he had seen ascending to heaven in his previous life, with a sense of pride.Although this feeling fades once more, it is undeniable that a successful breakthrough can indeed strengthen the cohesion of a country and nation, just like this time flying across the Atlantic.

It seems that I have no feelings for this country?Situ Nan laughed at himself.He shook his head and turned back to the cabin.
