There are several aircraft design bureaus in today's Western Special Zone. Among them, the Fengru Design Bureau mainly researches fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft, the Sikorsky Design Bureau researches large bombers and transport aircraft, and the Bayuzao Design Bureau focuses on special aircraft, including torpedo planes and dive planes. For bombers and light bombers, Wang Zhu Design Bureau mainly targets all kinds of seaplanes.With the addition of Ai Ritchie's leadership, referring to Ai Ritchie's power laboratory focusing on engine research, and Xie Zantai's airship design bureau, the SAR already has a complete aeronautical research structure.

With such a research framework that is second to none in the world, and the participation of many experts in the aviation industry, Zhao Shouhong feels full of confidence.After seeing the test flight of the seaplane, Zhao Shouhong met another person he always missed, Fokker who had met once at the air show.

During the World War of the Teutonic Kingdom, the Air Force has always had a considerable advantage over the Allied Powers, and this advantage was obtained by relying on the talented aircraft designer Fokker.It was precisely because of his invention of the shooting interrupter that the sky of the Allied Powers was dominated by the Teutonic Powers, and the top leaders of the Allied Powers even called that period the Fokker disaster.

It is precisely because of Fokker's whimsical ideas that Richthofen was able to make outstanding achievements repeatedly. Although he died in the hands of Gao Zhihang in the end, he could not obliterate his [-] record of the world's number one, and his other achievements. Pilot a powerful Fokker fighter.

As soon as the Teutonic Kingdom was defeated, Zhao Shouhong sent someone to protect Fokker and secretly brought him back to China.Today, just after Fokke arrived in Guanghai City, he saw Zhao Shouhong who was waiting here.

Seeing Fokker again, Zhao Shouhong was extremely enthusiastic: "At the beginning, I believed that you were an extraordinary talent, and you really shined in the war. Several aircrafts you designed have become classic models."

Fokker, who was in his thirties, seemed not in a good mood. He shook his head and said, "That's useless. No matter how good the plane is, it will be difficult to change the course of the war."

Zhao Shouhong shook his head and said, "You are wrong to think that way. I think aircraft is just in its infancy, and there is still a lot to do in the future. As long as we make unremitting efforts, future aircraft will become an indispensable force in war."

Fokke still sighed and said: "Forget it, after the defeat of the Teutonic Kingdom, my dream has been shattered. Now I don't want to design military aircraft anymore, maybe I will design some sports racing aircraft, at least I am a military aircraft Don't touch it."

Although Zhao Shouhong felt sorry for Falk's disappointment, he didn't want to force him.He immediately said: "If you want to develop into civil aircraft, I will not force you. However, I think the civilian use of aircraft is not limited to racing aircraft. I think you can develop large aircraft as passenger aircraft. In addition, you can try New power, maybe a jet engine will help you."

Under Zhao Shouhong's explanation, Fokker seemed to have hope. He nodded and said, "I understand. I believe that I will also make achievements in civil aviation."

After hesitating for a moment, Falk said, "I have a heartfelt request, and I hope Mr. Zhao can agree."

"If you have any ideas, please tell me, I will definitely help." Zhao Shouhong said.

Fokke said with some embarrassment: "I have a little brother who is also a person who is keen on aircraft design. Now the Teutonic country is banned from designing and manufacturing aircraft. I don't want his talent to go to waste, so I brought him here. I I hope that he can join the aircraft design bureau of the special zone, but my little brother has always been loyal to the country, and when the conditions in the Teutonic country are better, I am afraid he will return to the country."

"Oh? What's your little brother's name?" Zhao Shouhong asked curiously.

"His name is Willy Messerschmidt." Falk's words startled Zhao Shouhong. He never expected that the most famous aircraft designer in the history of the Teutonic World War II, the chief designer of the BF[-] series of fighters, Mei Seschmidt actually came to Hualan Kingdom, which surprised him very much.

Although Messerschmidt has made it clear that he will return to China to develop after the situation in the Teutonic state improves, but this does not hinder Zhao Shouhong's original intention.For such a talent, if he is placed in his own aircraft design bureau, he will definitely exert great energy. Even if he returns to the Teutonic country in the future, it will be good for the Hualan country.

At the current Paris Peace Conference, the Saar Empire and the Gaul Kingdom have clearly shown their hostility to Hualan. These old forces in the Western Continent still have great influence. If they dominate the future, the Hualan Kingdom will encounter a difficult period.Let the Teutonic state develop and once again become a force that threatens the two countries.

Just like in history, only by allowing the Teutonic country to completely break up the pattern of the Western Continent can the Hualan country have the hope of becoming a world power. On this point, the Hualan country and the White Eagle country have the same idea.In order to strengthen the combat power of the Teutonic state, aircraft design is an indispensable part. Messerschmidt was trained to be more excellent and let him develop better aircraft for the Teutonic state. The best way to Lu country.

Chapter 824 The Peace Treaty of Sharing the Loot

With this decision, Zhao Shouhong directly made a decision: "No problem, let Messerschmitt join Feng Ru Design Bureau first, let him familiarize himself with the design process of fighter jets. As for Fokker, I will pay for a joint venture with you. If you establish a Fokker aircraft manufacturing company, you can research any aircraft you want, and perhaps as a private enterprise, you may design aircraft for the military in the future.”

"Thank you very much, I will work hard to run the aircraft company well." Falk said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Shouhong was in a good mood after taking Falk into his account.Although Fokker is determined not to get involved in the military aircraft industry, Zhao Shouhong's enthusiasm remains undiminished.Zhao Shouhong is well aware of the future prospects of the civil aviation industry. With Fokker as a master, he believes that the development of civil airliners will go smoothly.

Although today's Western Special Zone has a large number of civil airships produced by Xie Zantai, it has already occupied a large share, and a civil aviation team consisting of no less than [-] airships has been established.However, the problem of the airship's slow speed cannot be solved. Zhao Shouhong's idea is to replace the airship with a large civil airliner in the future, which will have a very positive effect on the transportation industry of Hualan Kingdom, and the national heavy industry The strength will also be greatly improved.

By the time Zhao Shouhong took Fokker and Messerschmidt on the ferry and headed for Zhongchuan Province, the Paris Peace Conference was drawing to a close.After bargaining by the major powers, they finally made a compromise, allowing the Allied Powers to complete the distribution of benefits.

Except for the Wa Kingdom that occupied many of the original Teutonic colonies in the Pacific Ocean, and the Hualan Kingdom that occupied a large area of ​​the original Raksha Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire, the colonies of all countries were divided up by the Saar Empire and the Republic of Gaul.

In addition, according to the "Versailles Peace Treaty" that suppressed the Teutonic State, the Teutonic State returned the two provinces of Alsace and Lorraine occupied 50 years ago to the Gaul State, and the Teutonic State on the west bank of the Rhine was controlled by the Allied Forces. After 10 years of occupation, the territory of the Teutonic State within [-] kilometers of the east bank shall not be fortified.The Teutonic State abolished compulsory military service, and the size of the army should not exceed [-].The Teutonic state is not allowed to have a navy and air force, and surrenders all naval and air force equipment, as well as most artillery and machine guns.

The Teutonic Kingdom needs to pay [-] million White Eagle dollars as compensation for this time. Of course, most of the money is divided among Saar, Gaul and the White Eagle Kingdom.At the same time, most of the East Teutonic region of the Teutonic State will be divided and merged into the newly established new country Poland.Danzig was separated from the Teutonic state as a free city and served as the mouth of Poland.

Apart from the Teutons, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires were dismembered, and new states were soon established on their territories.In the next few decades, there will be a complicated situation in this area where ethnic groups are difficult to form a joint force, and the worries of the Western Continent about this area will disappear.After losing its only heir, Archduke Ferdinand, the Habfsburg dynasty of the Austro-Hungarian Empire has effectively declared its collapse.

The Ottoman Empire was not much better. With the defeat of the Allies, the rule of the three giants came to an end.Although in the previous year or so, many spoils of the Ottoman Empire entered the pockets of the Western Region, but it still has a large amount of good land suitable for farming and human habitation, but these lands were embezzled after the defeat.

Among them, the northern colony of the southern continent was completely lost, and most of the southern part of the central continent became the colonies of Saar and Gaul. The originally vast Ottoman Empire was only left with the Anatolian Peninsula and the western continent. corner.

Even under such circumstances, the Allied forces were still pressing each other hard. Soon after the contract was signed, the Saar Empire violated the contract and sent troops to occupy Istanbul.The Saar Empire knew the importance of controlling the Black Sea, so its government planned to privately control the Bosporus Strait outside of the terms of the peace treaty.

In order not to be criticized by the various allies, the Saar Empire only sent an army of 3000 people, and even this army was in the name of the Greek army.Greece, as an established country on the Balkan Peninsula, has always been a vassal state of the Saar Empire. This time, in terms of controlling the strait, the Saar Empire cleverly used this younger brother to start a war in the name of revenge.

The Greek army possessed excellent equipment and an army of [-], and with the assistance of [-] Saar troops, they quickly broke through the strait and entered the Anatolian Peninsula.At a time of crisis for the country, Al-Shabaab's three giants are helpless, while a new star is rising.

Kemal was born in Thessaloniki in 1881. At the age of 14, he entered the Manasti Military Preparatory School with honors. Four years later, he entered the Istanbul Military Academy, and then transferred to the Habay Staff School. After graduating in 1905, Kemal was awarded the rank of captain. He was arrested for participating in political activities. Later, when he served in the Macedonian Third Army, he officially joined the Sman Youth Party.

After the victory of the Ottoman Shabaab revolution, Kemal, who had become a major, was sent to Bulgaria as a military attache. During his tenure, the Ottoman Empire joined the ranks of the Allies.Kemal wrote a letter to his superiors to object to this, saying that the Ottoman Empire's joining the Allied Powers would be doomed, but no one listened to his opinion.

Although he strongly opposed the Ottoman Empire's joining the Allies, he went to the front line without hesitation when the country was called up.

After the outbreak of the war in 1914, Kemal was appointed as the commander of the new 19th Division and promoted to colonel.In the defense of the Dardanelles, he led his troops twice to successfully block the landing of the Allied Powers, so he came to prominence.Later, he made successive contributions in previous wars. Before the end of the war, he had been promoted to general and served as the commander of the Second Army.

After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the political forces in the country collapsed, and the country was in chaos. Even the Ottoman Youth Party in power fell apart without a unified command.Facing domestic chaos and the invasion of the [-] Greek troops, Kemal decided to stand up.

Under the slogan "Give me freedom or give me death." Kemal quickly assembled a group of like-minded young military officers.These young military officers who had strong nationalist sentiments and were dissatisfied with the judgment of the Paris Peace Conference were quickly mobilized, and they summoned scattered fighters from all sides to rebuild the regular army.

Because of his achievements during the war, Kemal has a high prestige in the military. Under his call, many veterans of World War I gathered under his command, and soon formed a regular army of more than 4 people.The army in his hands is getting stronger and stronger, but Kemal doesn't feel relaxed at all. He knows that this is far from enough.

Chapter 825 Kemal's plan

The Ottoman Empire is too small, relying on tens of millions of people and not a vast land, it is very unrealistic to fight against the mercenaries of the Saar Empire.Today's Ottoman Empire urgently needs a backer, a backer who can provide him with supplies and weapons to support him in defeating the Greek army.

In history, the helpless Kemal chose the same new and fragile red Raksha country.At that time, the Red Raksha State was unprecedentedly isolated internationally, and urgently needed the recognition and cooperation of other countries. Kemal's proposal came at the right time.It was the unremitting support of the Red Rakshasa that allowed Kemal to win the War of Independence and create the later Ottoman Republic.

But in this era, Kemal has a better choice.The Western Special Zone, which is close at hand, is a powerful and prosperous force. The economy and military there have been recognized by the world. In addition, the two sides are very close and easy to get support. It is really the best choice for Kemal.

At a time when the domestic crisis was getting worse, Kemal resolutely left the Ottoman Empire, and he did not directly pass through the border with the Western Special Administrative Region in order to deceive others.Kemal took a long way around. He escaped the inspection of the Saars, secretly crossed the Iraqi area that had been controlled by the Saars, and entered the territory of the Arabian Province of the Western Special Region.

Kemal, who entered the Western Special Zone, did not go to the nearest governor of the Arab Province, Yang Xizi, but took a train and headed north to the neighboring Red Sea Province.Kemal has a deep understanding of the weakness of the Ottoman Empire today, and now he is facing the Saar Kingdom, which is known as the world's most powerful country, so he is not very sure whether he can get assistance.

However, there are three favorable conditions that encouraged Kemal to board the train.The first is that the relationship between the Saar Empire and the Western District is not good, and it can even be said to be quite tense.The mutual attacks at the Paris Peace Conference, and the fact that the Western Special Administrative Region was too close to Zhaini, an important colony of the Saar Empire, made the Saar people very nervous.

This problem is mainly because Xijiang Province, Red Sea Province, and Kokang Province of the Western Special Zone surrounded the entire land border of Zhaini from three directions, which made the Saar Empire, which was never good at the army, always uneasy.Now that the war is over, when the economy of the Saar Empire recovers, it will inevitably counter it.

During the war, Kemal also tasted the sweetness of the advanced weapons in the Western Special Zone. According to his calculations, if there are sufficient supplies and equipment, the Ottoman Empire can not only defeat Greece in this battle, but even counterattack into the Balkans.

Now the Western Special Zone has become the target of the Gaul Kingdom and the Saar Empire. If the Ottoman Empire is allowed to invade Greece, it will not only drive the wedge of power into the territory of the Western Continent, but also distract the attention of the Saar Empire. The benefits to the Western District are self-evident.

The second is geographical location. Although the current Red Rakshasa Kingdom has terminated the war relationship with the Western Special Zone, it is in endless war with the Rakshasa Empire supported by the Western Special Zone.In the west of the Red Rakshasa, the mouths of the Baltic Sea and the Arctic Ocean are monitored by the Allied Powers, while the Black Sea in the south is now its largest trade channel.The Ottoman Empire happened to be the country that controlled this passage.Therefore, a close relationship with the Ottoman Empire means that it can contain the southern lifeline of the Red Rakshasa Kingdom, which is of great significance to the north's operations.

The third is in the religious sense. Kemal has long been paying attention to the actions of the Western Special Zone. In his opinion, Zhao Shouhong seems to be very worried about Muslims.It is a form of apartheid to move all the Muslims from Arabia Province and Middle Mainland Province to Red Sea Province, and at the same time let the Meng and Uighurs, who also believe in Islam, be ruled by the original Hualan aborigines.

Although the Turks of the Ottoman Empire were not of the same species as the Arabs, they had the same beliefs, and there was no problem if they fought together.If Zhao Shouhong doesn't like these Arabs, he can send them to the battlefield of the Ottoman Empire as mercenaries, which will benefit both sides.

With such analysis results, Kemal soon arrived in Tehran, the capital of the Red Sea Province.Ma Fuxiang was very surprised by Kemal's arrival.He did not expect that this middle-aged man, who was well-known in the Ottoman Empire and was likely to replace the Big Three, would come to him, the governor of the Red Sea Province who had just taken office for less than two years.

"Hello General Kemal, I have heard a lot about your deeds. As a soldier, I admire you very much." After Ma Fuxiang invited Kemal to sit down, he praised him greatly.After spending a lot of time with Zhao Shouhong, Ma Fuxiang also learned some twists and turns.Before the other party has explained their intentions, it is a very effective strategy to deal with the other party with flattering words and wait and see what happens.

Obviously, Kemal now has no time to quarrel with Ma Fuxiang. He must get support as soon as possible, otherwise the Ottoman Empire will not be able to support it.Looking at Ma Fuxiang who was offering tea with a smile on his face, Kemal got straight to the point: "Governor Ma, I know that you are the most powerful person in the Red Sea Province and have absolute control over the province. I appreciate that very much." Decentralization by General Zhao Zhao." Although Kemal's Hualan was very blunt, Ma Fuxiang understood the meaning completely.

Ma Fuxiang was very surprised that Kemal knew about the situation in Red Sea Province.Because among the entire Western Special Zone, Red Sea Province is a special case.In other provinces, the separation of the military and the government is very clear. Everyone performs their own duties. Once there is an important situation, they must report to the SAR government.The Red Sea Province is similar to an autonomous region. In addition to recognizing the sovereignty of the Western Special Zone, Ma Fuxiang has military and political power over the local area, and it can even be said to be an independent kingdom.

Unexpectedly, before Kemal arrived, he had already fully figured out the scope of Ma Fuxiang's rights, and it was obvious that his plan was not small.Ma Fuxiang leaned back on the sofa and looked at Kemal coldly: "General Kemal, I do have great authority in the Red Sea Province, but I also know very well that everything I have gained is thanks to General Zhao. If Without the support of the SAR, my Red Sea Province is nothing, so I will not betray my motherland and join the Ottoman Empire."

Seeing that Ma Fuxiang misunderstood what he meant, Kemal shook his head and said: "Governor Ma misunderstood. I didn't ask you to join the Ottoman Empire. On the contrary, I came today to ask for your help."
