Carlo certainly has his own plans for investing in airships.
To be fair, in the first decade of the 20th century, people were more optimistic about the role of airships. Because of their load-carrying capabilities and navigability, airships had unrivaled advantages over early aircraft in both military and civilian fields.
Of course, for Carlo, there are many benefits to showing Zeppelin to the whole world earlier. Airships can be used as transportation tools. Although they are expensive to build, they allow countries to research them. After all, the airship is a behemoth in the sky, and anyone who sees it will feel tremendous pressure.
Italy's research on airships is actually very convenient.
First of all, in terms of power, the Milan Power Laboratory in Italy can be said to be the best internal combustion engine research institution in the world. After more than ten years of continuous investment, in the field of internal combustion engines, it can be said that the Milan laboratory is the leader, and the power problem of the Zeppelin airship has been solved.
In addition, in terms of helium collection, relying on the advantages of Libyan oil and natural gas, collecting helium should not be too simple for Italy. Of course, the price cannot be as cheap as hydrogen.
And when Italy has more than a dozen airships, it will use them every day. In addition, it can also develop an airship that can conduct intercontinental navigation. I don't believe that other countries will not make the trip.
As long as other countries compete with us to develop airships, the high cost of building airships will be enough to make them realize what a pain it is.
Of course, this is just one of Carlo's plans, which requires the cooperation of Zeppelin, an outstanding talent. But I believe the problem is not big. Who can refuse that his invention has caused a sensation in the world, and no one would want to gain both fame and fortune.
Of course, the airship issue is not urgent, it requires continued efforts from Mr. Zeppelin.
For Carlo now, there are other situations to worry about, such as protests from the British Empire. They protested against Italy's sale of Maxim heavy machine guns to the Boers.
Yes, after being equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, the Boers' attacks on the British Empire army became more deadly. Nowadays, when the Boers attack the British army, they prefer to use a small force of more than ten people, armed with a Maxim and bullets, to ambush in front of the British army. They suddenly shoot through two or three bullet chains, mount their horses and carry them with them. The weapon ran away, giving the British army no chance to counterattack.
Moreover, the Boers were basically herders and owned a lot of horses. They basically had two or three horses per man, and the British army could not catch up with them. The Boers' guerrilla tactics using heavy machine guns gave the British Empire a huge headache. When the Naboers had no choice, the Beretta Arms Company, which produced heavy machine guns, became a place for the British to vent their evil fire.
The British Ambassador, Mr. Mandyson, has protested to the Italian government several times against the Beretta Arms Company for selling inhumane weapons such as Maxim heavy machine guns to the Boer rebels.
Of course, protest alone was not enough. The British Empire purchased 1,000 Maxim machine guns in one go, which was bound to prevent the Beretta Arms Company from selling this inhumane weapon to the Boers.
Of course, where these purchased machine guns will be deployed is a matter of opinion. At least many war reporters have discovered that this inhumane weapon can be seen in various British military strongholds in South Africa.
