New Warlords 1909

So I thought, our engine horsepower is not enough, we can also adopt a three-engine or four-engine multi-engine power mode, which can completely solve the problem of insufficient horsepower, and also allow us to design the Pioneer II to be larger a little. "

Seeing Feng Ru talking non-stop excitedly, Hua Fei couldn't help interrupting him.

Seeing that he finally stopped, Hua Fei said in harmony, "Mr. Feng, you are now a patient. When you recover, shall we talk again?"

"No, Commander, I beg you!" Unexpectedly, Feng Ru said very anxiously, "I thought our Pioneer 400 was already considered advanced, but I didn't expect that even the Russians have built such an aircraft now. Commander , A bomb weighing more than [-] kilograms, our Pioneer II must not be lower than this. Not only can it be used as a bomber, but it can also mount multiple torpedoes. After a little modification, the commander's wishes can be realized. Carry about ten people!"

Of course, Hua Fei knew that aviation technology was changing with each passing day, especially with the coming of World War I, which would accelerate the acceleration of the entire military industry.Feng Ru and others did not enter the aviation school to learn professional knowledge, and most of their achievements were self-study and hard work.Being able to achieve the current results has already made Hua Fei extremely satisfied.

"Mr. Feng, everything cannot be accomplished overnight. I know that Mr. Feng longs for a strong and prosperous country, but the strength of a country cannot be determined by just one or two weapons. Among the students sent abroad this time, more than a dozen One of the outstanding students you brought out was sent to study in MIT aeronautical engineering and several other countries in Germany. I believe that after they graduate and come back next year, let’s not talk about Pioneer No. [-], but Pioneer No. [-] and No. [-]. Under your leadership, it will be developed soon, and the test flight will be successful!"

Mentioning the few students he brought out, Feng Ru's face couldn't help revealing a gleam of brilliance.They not only have certain cultural knowledge, but also studied in Jiangnan Institute of Industrial Machinery for more than half a year before studying abroad.A small half of the design and calculation tasks of Pioneer [-] were completed with their assistance.

"Commander!" Feng Ru didn't intend to give up, so he asked his assistant to bring a hand-drawn drawing and handed it to Hua Feidao, "Commander, this is the Pioneer No. [-] I imagined. I want Zer [-] to succeed as soon as possible, and then devote all my energy and time to the research and development of this aircraft!"

There are two planes drawn on the blueprint, the upper one is marked as Pioneer [-], and the lower one, which is more familiar to Hua Fei, is marked as Pioneer [-].

The Pioneer II is still a biplane single engine, but a new corrugated metal skin is added to the upper and lower wings of the fuselage, and the wing reinforcement metal wires are also hidden under the skin.As can be seen from the notes and shapes next to it, the biggest difference between the two is that the Pioneer III is already a monoplane, and it is planned to achieve an all-metal structure.

Judging from the basic performance data, Pioneer II can only be regarded as an excess, while Pioneer III has already made a qualitative leap compared to the earliest Pioneer I.Of course, these figures are still on paper.

"Commander, if the new diamond engine is successfully developed, Zhang Nanxun and his team will be able to develop the material of aluminum alloy. The overseas students sent out by then should come back. I guarantee that it will take less than half a year for Pioneer [-] to be launched. Can succeed!"

"Commander, I know that the current military budget is tight, but please don't cancel our development plan no matter what!"

It turned out that after going around and muttering for a long time, Feng Ru was really afraid of this!After military expenditures were classified as government finances, some cabinet members proposed to save military expenditures and use them for local infrastructure construction.Hua Fei agreed to this plan, and sent a special team to calculate the expenditures of various military departments, cut down a lot of unnecessary expenditures, and kept the basic expenses at a bottom line.

This incident may have stimulated Feng Ru, coupled with the failure of the test flight and the sacrifice of two pilots, so Feng Ru's pressure increased, for fear that Hua Fei would be disappointed and cancel the development plan.

No matter how short-sighted Hua Fei is, he will not fail to understand the importance of scientific research.Among all the expenditures, he is most concerned about these departments, and the most readily allocated funds are also these departments.Since the establishment of the torpedo joint research and development team, inspired by this, the aluminum alloy research and development team, the rifle improvement research and development team, the mortar improvement research and development team, the field gun improvement research and development team, and many other similar technological research booms have flourished.Hua Fei even personally sent a message to the Torpedo Joint Team that science and technology are the most powerful weapons.Although the calligraphy was a mess, all members of the torpedo team exploded with enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

When discussing aircraft with Feng Ru on the ship, Hua Fei talked more briefly about the purpose of the aircraft and the appearance of some aircraft during World War II in his memory.But even if the concept is more advanced, if the industry and technology level cannot keep up, everything will be in vain.As Hua Fei became more and more familiar with the industrial status and technological data of this era, Hua Fei felt that it was necessary to remind Feng Ru and the others so that they would not fall deeper and deeper into the rut they had created.

"You see, although the all-metal aircraft is excellent, there is no need for us to pursue it at the moment." Hua Fei said while drawing a sketch on the paper, "Aircraft, according to their different combat missions and uses, we will first Aircraft are simply divided into the following types!"

"One, the reconnaissance plane, with the reconnaissance plane, we can understand the dynamics and situation on the battlefield more accurately, and the war style will change from the previous dark war to the new regional light war. On the premise that we have enough information, Our initiative and advantages will be extremely obvious.

The reconnaissance plane obviously does not need such a large power and load capacity, what he requires is speed, height, and distance.The faster you can detect intelligence faster, the higher you can avoid the shooting danger of ground rifles, and the farther you can detect the enemy's situation in sufficient depth.Of course, we also

The surveillance plane is equipped with a telescope-like observation mirror.If the technology permits, radio stations will densely deploy reconnaissance planes throughout the battlefield to form a radio wave network, and transmit information back to the ground command post through the radio wave network. What kind of situation will that be?

So I think that improving our current Pioneer [-] is a very good reconnaissance aircraft! "

Including Feng Ru, everyone was immediately attracted by Hua Fei's idea.The thigh, which was still in pain, lost all feeling at this moment.It’s not that Feng Ru has never thought about installing a radio station on an airplane, but it’s just that it’s too bulky, it needs electricity, it’s difficult to fly alone, and the distance of the radio is limited. Once the plane flies far away, the radio is almost useless up.

But Hua Fei's idea impressed him immediately. The radio station can be made smaller, a generator can be installed for electricity, and a two-person reconnaissance plane can be used for operation.But the most difficult distance transmission problem was suddenly cleared up because of Hua Fei's words about radio wave network.

Before everyone recovered from the contemplation, Hua Fei continued, "The other type of fighter is a fighter jet, which specializes in air combat and destroys enemy reconnaissance planes, bombers and other aircraft. Improve the Pioneer [-], To solve the problem of cooperation between the machine gun and the aircraft, I think it will definitely not be worse than any foreign fighter.”

"The next thing is the bomber. I think the Pioneer II is very good. You can sum up whether there are any defects in some designs. It is completely possible to use one main engine and two auxiliary engines on the wings to solve the problem of insufficient power. Absolutely. Many times more powerful than our existing No. [-] bomber."

"The other is passenger planes and transport planes. These two planes can fully realize their functions as long as the bombers are improved, weapons and equipment are removed, and seats or cargo compartments are installed. I think your current task is not to go to No. [-], No. [-] Instead, we should professionalize our air force and arms as soon as possible!"

These people in Feng Ru's ward are almost all the main force in current aircraft design.Hua Fei's remarks initially laid the foundation for the construction of China's future air force.Many, many years later, many Air Force aircraft design designers and engineers will not forget this evening's conversation when they refer to the history of aviation.

The next day, Hua Fei held a solemn funeral for the two pilots.As test pilots, their remains are buried on a hillside behind the base.Let their tombstones witness the graceful posture of generations of airplanes constantly flying into the sky.

Military affairs, government affairs, industry, private affairs, a series of jobs, Hua Fei was so tired that he didn't have a moment of leisure.This is still when he let the self-government distribute most of the government affairs and let go of many things.Fortunately, Xu Zhenfei from Hangzhou, who had just returned from studying in Britain and France in the civil service examination that had just ended, was admitted with the No.1 score.Because he studied national finance at the Sciences Po in Paris, France, he was quickly appointed as the deputy director of the Finance Department of the Autonomous Region, which is a step up to the sky and a career in succession.And Huaxin, who was partially liberated, finally had time to help Huafei take care of his financial problems after returning from get off work.

The negotiations between Butler Liu and the autonomous government finally came to an end, and in the end Hua Fei made many concessions.Except for Pacific Bank, Galaxy Investment, Star Group, Global Trading Company, and Deep Blue Ocean Transportation Company, most other factories and enterprises, even chain department stores such as Yongxin Department Store Group, have given away a lot of equity from the government.

The arsenal was all owned by the government, and Hua Fei was allowed to retain [-]% to [-]% of the equity.The several academies he founded were all owned by the government, but Hua Fei was awarded honorary principals in the Jagged Military Academy and Longteng Academy.Among other civilian factories, Masteel, Wuhu Cement Plant, and Tongling Smelter have retained half of Huafei's equity, and the other half has been taken over by the government.Jiangnan Shipyard and the spin-off Dongfang Machinery Factory, like Jiangnan Arsenal, only reserved [-]% of the equity for Huafei.

Except for the arsenal, all enterprises implement commercial management, discuss and research to recruit business shares, and expand their scale and strength.The government does not participate in management and does not interfere in the operation of enterprises.

Such a result can be said to be a complete surprise.You must know that many factories were raised by Huafei using construction bonds. The autonomous government not only admitted that those construction bonds were raised in the name of banks, but also did not take over the use and ownership of those bonds.

However, all loans obtained from Germany need to be handed over to the autonomous government.One billion gold marks will be handed over to the newly established China Bank of the Autonomous Region.At the same time, Hua Fei voluntarily handed over Pacific Bank's right to issue banknotes, and the management and issuance of banknotes were all transferred to Bank of China.

As for Hua Fei's profits in the economic sniper war, neither of them mentioned it.Because if there is a negotiation, the calculation may not be completed until next year.

It can be said that the autonomous region has made great concessions as a result.Although they were dissatisfied with Hua Fei's behavior of accumulating money, it was an undeniable fact that many of the wealth in it were created by him!It means that after the establishment of the autonomous government, it took over a large amount of high-quality assets and a huge amount of loan funds from Huafei just to grind the water.

Taking a step back, the entire autonomous government is under the control of Hua Fei. If he is not willing to hand over the assets, who can then what can he do.Because of the cabinet formation incident, people from various parties who had a good impression of Hua Fei really didn't want to offend this powerful person.He has made such a great contribution to the country, and many people can accept some of the rewards he deserves.

And it is difficult for anyone to say who will suffer and who will suffer in this negotiation.After all, the old butler of the Hua family has suffered a lot by yelling all the time. If the young master hadn't given the order, he would never have agreed to this terrible, robber-like agreement.

After half a month, Huaxin and others worked hard to calculate Hua Fei's current total assets!Hua Fei’s personal account in the Pacific Bank, in addition to transferring 700 million Singapore dollars to the Bank of China, repaying the short-term loan in the United States, and paying the funds transferred by the Pacific Bank, the current balance is more than [-] million Singapore dollars, most of which are from the last time The spoils of economic sniping.

In addition, the equity assets of each factory, the external capital of the two investment companies, and the materials stored by the Global Trading Company are temporarily unable to be counted.However, based on basic calculations, the current market value of the steel, cement, cotton yarn, cotton cloth and other materials absorbed by the Global Trading Company at a low price in the final stage alone may exceed [-] million.

In addition, the minimum estimate of other industrial capital assets will not be less than [-] million.Moreover, since these companies are developing rapidly, it is difficult to estimate the rate of capital appreciation.

In other words, after several years of hard work, Hua Fei's current net worth has exceeded [-] million, and even reached [-] million Singapore dollars.It turns out that he has become a billionaire a long time ago, and he is truly rich.

New Warlord 1909 161 Legendary Scientist

In the blink of an eye in 914, it was May.in nearly half the time.Domestically, not much has changed.Except that Yuan Shikai announced the dissolution of the provincial councils a few months ago.The southern provinces jointly boycotted it.Although there is no requirement for the autonomy of this model of Jiangsu, Anhui and Shanghai.But see what they mean.want to dissolve parliament. .That is impossible!

This situation has determined that many provinces in the south have strengthened their close ties with the autonomous region.However, Yuan Shikai was unable to solve the problem militarily.On the one hand, it has strengthened close cooperation with foreign forces.On the one hand, the Constitution of the Republic of China was promulgated.The previous provisional agreement was abolished.The powers of the President are strengthened in the New Testament law.Officially announced the change of the cabinet system to the presidential system.Abolish the State Department.Establish a government office.

Sekai's move.Immediately attracted a concerted crusade from parties such as the Democratic Party and the Progressive Party.Several parties even contacted Hua Fei's Renaissance Party.It is proposed that the self-government issue a statement of condemnation.Against the decision of the Beijing government.

Hua Fei used the excuse that the Fang government had no right to interfere with the central government in Beijing.The passage of the statement of condemnation was blocked in parliament.After this news announcement.Reactions were mixed.Someone praised Hua Fei for abiding by the Autonomy Law.Take the development of the party as the top priority.It is really a wise move.Some people criticized Hua Fei for abandoning the concept of republic and democracy.Only think of one's own self-interest.Regardless of the overall situation of the country.

Regardless of public opinion.A fact is.

At that time, Yuan Shikai strengthened his close cooperation with Hua Fei.Not only has some raw material products been allowed to enter the autonomous region.It also eased restrictions on the inflow of industrial products within the autonomous region.It even imported [-] Pioneer No. [-] aircraft and [-] new-style cars that have just rolled off the production line from the autonomous region.

The rapid development of industry in the autonomous region.Not only has it driven the production of raw material industries in the surrounding areas.It also made the provincial governors, including Yuan Shikai, feel the pressure.Consciously or unconsciously, they began to accelerate the pace of industrial construction.Yuan Shikai's mansion was shortly after Hua Fei dispatched a huge 1000 students to study abroad.It also followed suit and dispatched more than [-] publicly funded international students.The other provinces have similar patterns.Dozens and hundreds of overseas students are dispatched.

Especially Li Liejun from Jiangxi.Under the lobbying of the Democratic Party and others.General elections have been considered across the province.Join the Autonomous Government Alliance of Jiangsu, Anhui and Shanghai.like that.The Democratic Party's seats and voice in the government.It is bound to be greatly strengthened.

Of course, Hua Fei has no objection to the formation of the Autonomous Government Alliance.His goal is not limited to the small area of ​​the Yangtze River Delta.But at this time, he hastily picked up Jiangxi.There is bound to be a chain reaction.It will even anger Yuan Shikai.Force him to take drastic measures.

On the one hand there is delay in the government.Fortunately, Sun Wen, chairman of the Democratic Party, the second largest party in the parliament, devoted himself to railway construction.Song Jiaoren devoted all his energy to the formulation and regulation of laws.Huang Xing devoted himself to the police force and public security management.Hu Hanmin and others contacted some education circles.Vigorously develop basic education.Several veterans of the Democratic Party faded out of political disputes.Let some differences resolve.Much easier.

In Hua Fei's view.It may be that they are tired of political battles.I just want to spend the rest of my life working hard to build this area.Or maybe they realized differences.Not only can't win in the autonomous region.On the contrary, it will lose Hua Fei's trust and support.

Hua Fei was not idle.A series of reforms and new policies were all issued by him.All the army elementary schools in various places were converted into intermediate schools.And widely set up elementary schools.Expand education radiation.Limited by the number of faculty members limited by financial resources.Compulsory education cannot be realized in the short term.However, free primary education has been achieved.

Hua Fei personally presided over the signing of this new policy.For the support of the cabinet.Hua Fei took out 3000 million Singapore dollars.Set up an education fund.And call for donations.The generosity of businessmen and patriots raised more than 500 million SGD in just one month.

Another thing that Hua Fei has personally paid attention to is since the first chamber of commerce alliance conference was held.A series of tax law reforms.Although various industrial and commercial enterprises are under intense policies and measures to promote industry.It has sprung up like mushrooms after rain.But tax breaks.It is impossible for China's finances to increase significantly in the short term.In addition, foreigners control the tariff agreement and customs rights.Some tax laws can only be enacted with formal amendments.Cannot be put into practical use.

After completing these two tasks.Hua Fei organized his staff again.Launch of New Science Journal.Vigorously advocate popularization of scientific knowledge.At the same time, organize a group of students returning from studying abroad.Formation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.And purchased a large number of advanced scientific research instruments from abroad.Basically do physics in advance.Chemical.Three subjects of mathematics.There are basic research groups in each discipline.Start preliminary research work.
