Fengxian Jiangshan

Bayuzao sighed, and said with a sneer: "This is the difference between a man of action and a Qingliu who is misleading the country with empty talk. Yu Peng, it's not like you haven't experienced it in the United States. Do you still believe in their so-called democracy and freedom? "

Bayuzao's words immediately aroused Wang Zhu's sadness.In fact, after Wang Zhu became the chief engineer of Boeing, he already had a considerable reputation in the American aviation industry.As a veteran of Boeing.The future prospects are quite impressive, and Wang Zhu has also wavered about whether he wants to develop in the United States. After all, the conditions that the United States can provide are really great!

But then the U.S. Navy tested the seaplane designed and built by Wang Zhu, but Wang Zhu was not allowed to enter the test site because they were worried that they would learn the advanced aviation technology of the United States.

This is a completely absurd accusation.However, at this time, Wang Zhu also saw clearly the nature of racial discrimination in the United States. In such an era of white supremacy, overseas travelers can only be respected if they truly have a strong motherland.For this reason, Wang Zhu still returned to China with Bayuzao and the others.

The freighter gradually entered the port, and the welcoming crowd could already be seen on the pier. Bayuzao got off the freighter first, and Wang Zhu and others followed closely behind. After a long voyage, the young students on the ship They are all very tired, especially in order to transport more machines, they can only squeeze in a small space with the crew, and endure all kinds of smells, if it is not supported by the blood in their chests, I am afraid no one would want to do this suffer.

"Yun Hua, we will meet again after one or two years!"

Zhang Tinglan greeted Bayuzao with a smile, and Bayuzao also noticed Zhang Tinglan. After two years, Zhang Tinglan seemed to have become more mature, with a heroic air in his gentleness, and a decisive manner. Obviously, this kind of demeanor of a high-ranking person has also been experienced in two years.

"Mr. Zhuoyan, when we were studying in the United States, we tried our best to find news about the country every day. Do you know how happy we are when we heard that you have recovered the Middle East Road? For two whole days, we were so excited that we couldn't sleep. Return to the country immediately, and fight with the soldiers of Fengjun to kill the enemy for the country."

"Don't worry, the Middle East Road is just an appetizer, and you will soon be useful." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Let me introduce other people, and let me see how many talents you have brought back."

Bayuzao smiled and pulled over two young people, both in their 30s and [-]s, one was fair and gentle, the other was energetic and capable.

"These two are my classmates. They both graduated from MIT's aviation major. The little boy is called Wang Zhu, and the other monkey is called Wang Xiaofeng. There are only a dozen of them who graduated at the same time, and the Chinese accounted for three. , Facts have proved that the learning ability of Chinese people is no worse than that of Westerners! ”

Zhang Tinglan also felt the same way. The learning ability of the Chinese people has also been recognized in later generations. China does not lack geniuses, but only lacks a stage for talents to fully display.He may not be familiar with Wang Xiaofeng and Zhang Tinglan, but he is very clear about Wang Zhu. This famous father of Boeing is definitely the top authority in the field of early aircraft manufacturing.

However, like most Chinese experts in this era, their talents have not been brought into play. After Wang Zhu returned to China, he has been struggling to manufacture China's own aircraft, and also tried to set up his own aircraft factory. However, the first aircraft he manufactured Unfortunately, it crashed during the test flight.

In fact, it is very normal in the aviation field. The early development of aircraft was based on human lives. However, because the government of the Republic of China did not understand and did not pay attention to it, Wang Zhu did not receive any substantive support in the subsequent time. Dreams remain in the dream stage.

Until the period of the Anti-Japanese War, Chinese pilots could only fly foreign aircraft and fight against the Japanese invaders. Soon the air force became a real "air force", and at this time Wang Zhu could only be responsible for the maintenance of aircraft.It has the top aviation talents, but China does not have its own aircraft. This cannot but be said to be the tragedy of the Republic of China.

The so-called golden decade is also a fortress built on the beach. It looks good, but without a strong heavy industry as the backbone, as a pillar, it cannot withstand collisions at all. Under the attack, he was defeated again and again, and retreated to the southwest.

Now that Wang Zhu and others have just returned from their studies, it is the time when they are in their prime. History will never repeat itself, and the planes that belong to the Chinese will definitely rule the blue sky.

"Welcome to the three eastern provinces to show your talents. I made a proposal to Yushuai a few days ago to set up several aircraft manufacturing factories. You three talents, plus the teacher of Nanyuan Aviation School. Temporarily set up two One fighter factory, two bomber factories, if you like, this aircraft factory will be named after you, which is also the Western practice."

After hearing Zhang Tinglan's proposal, Bayuzao, Wang Zhu, and Wang Xiaofeng all stared wide-eyed. Feng Jun's handwriting was really extraordinary, and he was going to build four aircraft factories at once. Just listening to it made him feel refreshed.

"Mr. Zhuoyan, why do fighter jets and bombers have to build two factories? Isn't this a waste of resources? Let's gather our forces together and build a large factory, can't we?" Bayuzao asked with a little doubt .

"Of course not. Everyone needs to be under pressure, and factories also need to have competition. In the future, there will be more types of aircraft, and the functions will not be completely the same. Different design ideas are required. Of course, too many are not good, and will disperse power. For the time being, there will be two fighter jets and two bombers, and we will increase them appropriately in the future!"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "You should also pay attention. Funds are always limited. You must show enough skills to fight for funds, and you must also produce the best products to obtain orders from the army, so that your factories can develop."

Bayuzao and others understood Zhang Tinglan's plan in an instant. The purpose was to form healthy competition in the entire industry and achieve the best results. This is also the practice of Western powers. With such an expert leader, they are all relieved. It seems that the three northeastern provinces are indeed places where they can realize their dreams.

Bayuzao then introduced other talents to Zhang Tinglan. Among them were overseas Chinese, students who were paid by Beiyang officials, and several apprentices sent by Zhang Tinglan. They were mainly engaged in aviation, metallurgy, and machine manufacturing. Such a major is exactly what Fengjun needs most.

Even those few apprentices are quite remarkable. They not only learn skills in American factories, but also pay attention to factory management skills. After two years of training, they have no problem managing a workshop in China.In addition to these talents, there is another group of people led by Hou Debang. They are mainly talents in the chemical industry. Since they have also purchased a lot of machines, they cannot be shipped back by one ship, so it will take a month before they can return to China. .

Zhang Tinglan is already very satisfied with having these talents, and Fengjun's aviation industry has finally settled down.

"Mr. Zhuoyan, we heard that Fengjun was fighting the Russians, so we used the funds you provided to trial-manufacture ten aircraft and purchased a batch of engines. We can assemble them as soon as we need them."

When Zhang Tinglan heard Bayuzao's words, his eyes lit up: the air force is done! . )

Chapter 395 Deterrence

"Yunhua, how long does it take to assemble these planes?"

"We have already tested it in the United States, and it can be assembled and debugged in a day or two." Bayuzao said with full confidence.

After Zhang Tinglan heard it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said with a smile: "Okay, I will give you five days to rest first, and then assemble the plane. I will transfer a few pilots from the aviation school. After five days , Preparing an aviation show in Fengtian is also a celebration of the official establishment of the Fengtian Air Force!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

In addition to bringing back the aircraft design and manufacturing team of more than [-] people, Bayuzao and the others also purchased a large number of machines and moved them off the freighter one after another.

"Mr. Zhuoyan, I heard that the Northeast already has a number of factories. I don't know if it is true or not. If there are supporting factories, it will be much easier to produce aircraft."

"Well, iron and steel factories, metallurgical factories, machine factories, arsenals, locomotive factories, etc., have already taken prototypes, and some have been able to produce some products in small batches. Not long ago, the Jilin Arsenal successfully imitated the 76 Millimeter mountain guns are now working towards larger calibers!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhu and the others also beamed with joy. Although they are experts in aircraft design, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and manufacturing aircraft also requires the cooperation of a large number of factories.Just like in the United States, they can easily purchase all kinds of parts they need, but when they arrive in China, everything becomes troublesome. They have to find a way to produce everything by themselves, and even order directly from overseas, and they may not be able to buy it. Sell ​​it to you, but also consider whether the price can bear it.

It can be said that on the way back, Wang Zhu and others were all ready to start from scratch, but now they were all excited when they heard that Fengjun had a certain industrial foundation.

"Mr. Zhuoyan, you are the only one who has such a big hand, and built so many factories in one go. Back then, the Manchu Qing struggled for decades of Westernization, but only a handful of factories were built."

"That's why the Manchu Qing Dynasty was subjugated. The development of industry was a race of speed. They were already behind. If they didn't try their best to move forward, they could only be beaten passively, and even the country would die."

They also took Zhang Tinglan's words seriously.After only one day's rest in Huludao, Bayuzao and the others returned to Fengtian with Zhang Tinglan and brought ten aircraft parts.

After arriving in Fengtian, Li Ruyan, Qin Guoyong, Pan Shizhong, Bao Bingchen, Zhu Zhuowen and other teachers from Nanyuan Aviation School all rushed over.These people are also professionals who studied in Europe and the United States in their early years, and they also have solid academic skills.He met Bayuzao, Wang Zhu and others.Immediately there were endless topics to talk about.

Bayuzao and the others mentioned Zhang Tinglan's suggestion again.With them as the team, four aircraft design and manufacturing factories should be established, and they should be named after the most important designers. After hearing this idea, everyone immediately boiled over. This is a very attractive suggestion.

any designer.In addition to wanting to conquer the blue sky with their own planes, I am afraid that they also have the idea of ​​being famous in history. It is the highest honor to name the factory after their own name.They were all excited.

Li Ruyan thought about it comprehensively. Although she knew that the idea was good, she still had some difficulties in implementing it, so she said to Zhang Tinglan: "Zhuoyan, your proposal is very good, but the three eastern provinces have not yet completed the aircraft manufacturing capacity. If you can’t make a plane, splitting it into four factories so early will only disperse strength, and the top priority should be to master the process of aircraft manufacturing, first make things, and then integrate different features.”

Zhang Tinglan nodded with a smile: "That's true. Breaking through technical barriers as a whole is the top priority. Do you have any ideas?"

"Mr. Zhuoyan, the current aircraft is mainly made of wood, and the manufacturing is not complicated. Although the idea of ​​using aluminum alloy as an aircraft manufacturing material has appeared, it is far from mature. Our biggest obstacle is the engine. As long as it is solved As for the problem of the engine, it is not difficult to manufacture an airplane." Bayuzao said beside him.

"That's right, Yunhua is right." Wang Zhu continued: "Although the United States was the first to develop the aircraft, due to patent rights issues, domestic lawsuits are in progress, which has delayed the development of aircraft. American aircraft have fallen behind. In Europe, especially aero engines, there is a gap. We purchased a batch of engines in the United States, and the performance can only be said to be passable, and it cannot reach the advanced level at all.”

Wang Xiaofeng, who has been silent all this time, also said: "If you want to produce engines, it is best for the three European powers, Britain, Germany and France to get the technology. Even if there is no technology, we can find a way to imitate it if there is a finished product in front of us. There is a big war going on, and it is too difficult to get the technology.”

Hearing this, Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "I can't get European technology, but I have finished products for French engines."

"Mr. Zhuoyan, how did you get it?" Bayuzao's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked hastily.

"Not long ago, the Russians took advantage of the air superiority and frequently harassed the border. We shot down six planes, three of which were basically intact and the engines were still there. In addition, we snatched four bombers from the Russians. Arrived at the flight school."

Li Ruyan smiled and nodded: "That's right, all Russian fighter jets are imported from France, and the engines are naturally original French products. The performance is quite advanced, and it is also in a leading position in the world. We are stepping up research these days and want to explore France. The manufacturing process of human beings, now that you have joined us, maybe we will be able to make a breakthrough soon."

As soon as they heard the news, Bayuzao, Wang Zhu and others were immediately full of energy and wanted to visit immediately.However, Zhang Tinglan stopped them. The most important task at present is to assemble the aircraft as soon as possible, complete the commissioning, and then take part in the air show to show the strength of Fengtian Air Force to the outside world.

Zhang Tinglan is so eager to show off his air power, but he actually has his own plans. The competition for the oil extraction industry has reached its final juncture. Eat the meat in your mouth.

At this time, the most important thing to pay attention to is that the Japanese are anxious to jump over the wall. If you want to keep the vicious dogs from moving, the most important way is to raise the dog-beating stick high to let them know that they are afraid. It was for this purpose that the Fengtian Air Force was announced.

After a simple communication, they all knew the importance of this air show, so they all issued military orders. Li Ruyan and others cooperated fully, and selected a group of elites from the aviation school students, and immediately became familiar with the aircraft. .

Zhang Tinglan had almost arranged everything, and went to the Marshal's Mansion again to meet Zhang Zuolin, as soon as Lao Zhang saw Zhang Tinglan coming, he smiled and said: "Zhuo Yan, I have something to ask you, come and sit down. "

It is now the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the temperature is very low. There are several huge braziers in the middle of the tiger hall. The red charcoal is emitting heat, which makes people feel very comfortable. For a few sweet potatoes, Lao Zhang would flip them over from time to time.

Zhang Xueliang was also sitting on the side, with a smug smile on his face: "Zhuoyan, I've become a father, you should hurry up!"
