In the room, Chen Tian, Thomas and Ollie sat quietly.
Thomas is currently the Director of the East Prussian Intelligence Agency and Chen Tian's private intelligence officer. Of course, this intelligence bureau was established by Chen Tian less than three years ago.
Ollie has been promoted to major and is currently the head of the First Division of the Second Division of the First Division of the East Prussian Army.
These three people claim to be the three swordsmen of East Prussia, and often shrink together to discuss things.
"Prince's contract is valid for 50 years, let's talk about your opinions!" Chen Tian felt that Thomas and Orly had seen the contract signed by the prince and him several times.
"I think the Prince's contract is shameless, and our aircraft factory will become his tool in the future!" Oli shook his head and poured a glass of water.
"I agree!" Thomas frowned. "We should think of a way to prevent him from doing so!"
"Yes! I have also been thinking, can we drill the loopholes in this contract, we can't clearly boycott the prince now." Chen Tian nodded, "Orly, help me get a glass of water!"
"Do you want Thomas to have a glass too? It seems that you are looking for me to serve the tea and water!" Olly took their glass
"Orly! By the way! There is no restriction in the contract how many planes we can keep for our own use! We can set up an air transport company under our aviation group to monopolize air transport in Europe!"
"Air freight?" Olly and Thomas asked in unison, "Can you?"
"Of course!" Chen Tian looked at them, and then said, "Although the current aircraft can only sit two people, the load is not large, but with the development of technology, the safety performance of the aircraft will become more and more High, the load capacity will also increase! Our aircraft factory is now testing two new types of aircraft, one is a single-engine aircraft equipped with a large horsepower engine, and the other is a dual-engine aircraft equipped with ordinary engines, According to the design, they can be used to hold a ton of things!"
"But what's the use of air transportation?" Olly asked, puzzled. "Even if it can hold a ton of things, it's much worse than a train!"
"Yes! Isn't the cost of transporting things too high? Who needs to pay a few times the price to transport things by plane? There is a danger of falling!" Thomas shook his head.
"Only what you can't think of, nothing you can't do! The characteristic of airplanes is that they are much faster than trains and ships. If they are far away, they can save a lot of time, especially in very emergency situations!" Chen Tian explained to them with a smile. Can be used to send mail first, including international and cross-sea fast mail!"
Ollie and Thomas nodded, Thomas added, "If people see that we are safe to deliver mail, they will believe in the safety of our aircraft, so we can start transporting people!"
"Yes! We can build airports all over Europe!" Chen Tian felt that Thomas' ability to accept new affairs was still very strong, and he was worthy of intelligence.
"But will European countries let us build an airport in their country? Won't they worry about what military purpose we use the airport to achieve?" Olly offered different opinions.
"Yes! This problem is serious!" Chen Tian suddenly realized that he didn't seem to take this into consideration. If you want to build an airport in each country, you must use it for civilian purposes, and then you must obtain the consent of each country.
"Stupid! We contacted the post offices of various countries in the name of the post office and convinced them to allow us to use the plane as a new method of delivery, and then gradually transported people when delivering the mail!" Thomas patted his head.
"Good idea! Let's set up a Thomas Air Post!"
A month later, the Thomas Post Office of Chen tian's Air Group was officially established. At the beginning of its establishment, it included 7 Sky I aircraft and 5 Sky II aircraft. Among them, the sky type I aircraft has a speed of 180 km/h, a payload of 200 kg, and a range of 300 km; the sky type II aircraft has a speed of 260 km/h, a payload of 350 kg, and a range of 420 km.
With the efforts of Chen tian, the Thomas Post Office first reached a cooperation agreement with the post offices of major cities in Germany. The Thomas Post Office provided aircraft to deliver express mail for them. A few months later, due to the very good results, the Thomas Post Office began to develop in small and medium-sized cities. At this time, their aircraft had grown to more than 30, and some people even took their planes to go to other cities to handle emergency affairs. A year later, with the launch of a twin-engine Sky III aircraft with a range of 600 kilometers, the Thomas Post Office began to cooperate with post offices in other European countries under the name of the German Post Office. Two years later, Chen Tian personally flew a Thomas Post office plane to Britain, France and other countries to promote Europe, and people gradually began to accept the plane as a new means of transportation.
The European sky is busy.
Since then, the Thomas Post Office has become synonymous with air transportation. Whether in Germany or Switzerland, Britain or France, China or the United States, there is a Thomas Post Office to deliver mail quickly and safely for people, and more and more people are flying on Thomas Post Office planes. By the end of the First World War, Thomas Post had become the world's largest air transport company, bringing in tens of millions of marks in revenue for JT Air Group.
Of course, another gain from the Thomas Post Office is that Chen Tian's aircraft factory accumulated valuable technical experience in the production of transport aircraft. During the war, not only a large number of transport aircraft were directly converted into bombers, but also several excellent bombers were manufactured. The German ground forces provided strong support and caused great trouble to the powerful British navy.
For Chen Tian's move, there will naturally be strong surprises.
"Gigi Williams! You guys are so beautiful!" Prince of Germany couldn't help but praise, but also reluctantly admitted his mistakes. In the contract, he did not reserve the number of Chen Tian's own aircraft. Restrictions were imposed, but that was because he did not expect the aircraft to be used for anything other than sale.
"Interesting! Jiji, I hope we have a chance to score a difference! Next time, I won't underestimate you!"
Prince stood in front of his window and watched a plane fly by not far away. The green sign was the Thomas Post Office.
