but he says he can :)
(and if he doesn't what next)



Can is a question of ability.:)
(What do YOU think he's able to do?)


i think there's a fair chance that he's going to fail in spectacular style - second great depression, use of mercenary forces, race/class riots, blah, blah, blah...

(or possibly not)


Thats definately something that COULD happen.:)
(but what if he doesn't fail)


then all the armies go home peacefully and the chinese empire smoothly takes global power :)

There were quite a few powered planes built before the Wright Brothers as well. Félix du Temple built an aluminum airplane in 1874 that climbed briefly under its own power. Clément Ader built a steam powered aircraft in 1890 that flew 150 feet under its own power. Alexander Mozhaysky took off in 1884, and Hiram Maxim flew 200 feet in 1894.

The Wright Brothers were just the first to do it consistently and reliably without a lot of crashing and drama.
