New Warlords 1909

"You must be curious about the Zhanlong aircraft factory!" Hua Fei introduced the relevant situation to Wang Zhu and the two while driving, "Due to the great increase in the demand for our aircraft imports during the European War, the current Wing Loong aircraft factory has completely failed To meet the needs. So as early as a few years ago, we built a new aircraft factory in Hefei."

"Since the two workshops of the Wing Loong Aircraft Factory are located in Shanghai, and one of them is still in the concession, the secrecy is very limited. Therefore, in the latest plan, we have decided to let the Wing Loong Aircraft Factory specialize in the production of various types of armed reconnaissance aircraft. Develop large-scale aircraft for passenger and cargo purposes, and develop and produce seaplanes. Zhanlong Aircraft Factory is fully committed to producing fighter jets, bombers and other military aircraft!"

"You are arranged by me at the Zhanlong aircraft factory. If you don't like it, you can also apply for transfer to the Pterosaur aircraft factory. However, you may not go to Zhanlong in a short time, because the progress of the seaplane we are developing is not very satisfactory , so I hope you can help them, and when the matter here is over, you go to fight the dragon!"

"All according to the commander's arrangement!" Although Wang Zhu and others tried their best to listen to Hua Fei's words, their expressions were attracted by the rapid development of Shanghai.Clean and flat concrete roads, roadside wires, telephone lines, cable broadcasting, etc. are densely packed.

There are trams, cars, cars, bicycles, rickshaws, and even motorcycles and carriages on the road.What surprised them the most was that there were so many shops and vendors, the crowds were dense and bustling, and everything was busy but not chaotic.Many factories have neat workshops, workers in and out, wearing neat work clothes.Patrolmen passing by the roadside from time to time, everything on the street is calm, full of vigor and vigor.

In the distance, power plants, steel mills, shipyards, cement plants, arsenals and other huge towers, tall gantry cranes.Seeing everything, Wang Zhu and others were dazzled and amazed.Is this really Shanghai?Seven years ago, they embarked on a journey to study in England from Shanghai. Seven years later, when they returned here again, they found that they seemed to have come to a strange world, a city that looked like the West.

Wu Tao seems to be able to understand their feelings very well. He has encountered such a thing more than once, and he said kindly at the moment, "All you have seen is limited to the major cities in the autonomous region, excluding those who have just joined the autonomous region alliance. Zhejiang and Jiangxi. If you want to see what it was like before you went abroad, you only need to go not far from the autonomous region to see it!"

Wu Tao's words made Bayuzao wake up, and he smiled bitterly, "I hope that everywhere in the motherland is as prosperous as this!"

"By the way, you have been away from home for a long time. If you want to go home and have a look, I will grant you a one-month vacation. Our local guards will escort you home in casual clothes to meet your relatives. If your family is willing, I will make all arrangements Move them to the Autonomous Region!"

"Thank you Commander!"

The vehicle soon arrived in front of the Wing Loong Aircraft Factory. Feng Ru and others received the news and had already led a group of main technical backbones, waiting here.

As soon as he got out of the car, Feng Ru came up to him and said with a smile, "Commander Hua looked left and right, and finally waited for you to come back. With the help of you talented students, I, an old man, can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

"Mr. Feng!" Wang Zhu hurriedly jumped out of the car, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "We have heard of Mr. Feng's name as early as when we were studying in England. Later, when we went to the United States to study aerospace engineering, we are even more respectful to Mr. Feng." I admire those aircraft designs! I’m just a fledgling kid, sir, don’t praise me like that!”

"Haha, actually, those designs of my aircraft were all inspired by Commander Hua!" Feng Ru laughed without hesitation.

Commander Hua?Wang Zhu and the others were all taken aback. Could it be that Commander Hua has also studied aircraft design?It's also possible, otherwise why pay so much attention to aviation?Feng Ru smiled and said nothing. If they saw the all-metal aircraft patterns sketched by Hua Siling, I don't know how surprised they would be.

"Haha, come on, let me introduce you to another chief engineer of aircraft design, who is also the chief person in charge of this seaplane design and manufacturing project, Tan Gen, chief engineer Tan!" Hua Fei smiled and avoided the confused eyes of Wang Zhu and others, Walking towards another young man, he introduced. (

219 A turning point in history

Tang root. , native of Guangdong.When he was young, because of poverty, he sold piglets to work as an apprentice in a machinery factory in San Francisco, USA.Because Tan Gen is smart and studious.Save food and use.Entered a middle school to study mechanics.Soon after, with the support of relatives and friends.Enter the United States | Heaton Aircraft School to study and research aviation theory and aircraft construction technology.After graduation.Tang Gen began to design and build his own seaplane with the funding of overseas Chinese.Won the Champion Award of the IWC Aircraft Manufacturing Conference held at that time.The U.S. Army Department also hired him as an instructor.Excellent work performance.The California Air Force also appointed him to the post of Reserve Commander.

Tang Gen is known as the first in China's design and manufacture of seaplanes in history.Its reputation is in the minds of overseas Chinese.Even Feng Ru can compare with it.Not only has he won numerous air competition awards.It is also setting the world record for the flying height of seaplanes one after another.Because when I was in the United States.Feng Ru and Tan met because of the plane.and become great friends.

When Hua Fei decided to start designing and manufacturing seaplanes.The senior design and technical personnel of the Wing Loong Aircraft Factory are insufficient.Feng Ru immediately thought of his well-known friend in the United States.It happened that Tan Gen was in Hong Kong at the time.It was Feng Ruyi who invited him to come from the autonomous region to serve as the first engineer of the Wing Loong Aircraft Factory.

"Hello. I heard yesterday that you are about to return home after graduation. I am very happy*. With your help, I believe our seaplane design will be completed soon." In fact, Tan Gen is only in his 20s.Feng Ru, the oldest among them.Not more than 30 years old.It's these young people.It has supported the remarkable achievements of the aviation industry in the autonomous region today.

Help them study early in the UK.I have heard of Tan Gen's name.Now I know that he turned out to be the chief person in charge of the seaplane.Excited now.Happy again.

"Come on. Let me introduce you to the engineer of the Flight Design Institute. The chief engineer of Zhanlong Aircraft Factory. Mr. Lin Fuyuan Lin!" Hua Fei waited for Wang to help them finish greetings with Tan Gen.He introduced with a smile again.

Wang Zhu and the others were taken aback again.At this time he'| finally understood why the autonomous region would be empty.Impressive results in a short period of time.Just a small aircraft factory.Hua Fei brought together almost all the well-known Chinese aviation experts today.

Lin Fuyuan.Kaiping Hakka.Born in Oran.Studied mechanical engineering.Later joined Kang Youwei's royalist party.Appointed to the Curtiss Wright Aviation School.After graduation, he was ordered to return to China with a plane to prepare for the revolution.was left in Hong Kong.

During the stay in port.A large number of domestic information reports deeply stimulated Lin Fuyuan.In particular, Hong Kong and the autonomous region have increasingly intensive business exchanges.A large number of sea-going ships from the autonomous region sailed to Europe via Hong Kong.Countless overseas Chinese went to Shanghai via Hong Kong.A large number of local young people in Hong Kong.Also catch up with the autonomous region in this trend.

At this time, Tan was invited by Feng Ru from Hong Kong to Shanghai to meet Lin Fuyuan.Lin Fuyuan readily agreed.Once in Shanghai.I was attracted by the development and development of Shanghai.Later, I was shocked by the large number of advanced aircraft produced by the Wing Loong Aircraft Factory.Hua Fei heard about Lin Fuyuan's history and encounters.Not only did he personally invite Lin Fu to be the chief engineer of Zhanlong Aircraft Factory.Also through diplomatic channels.He tried his best to recover the Curtiss plane detained by the United Kingdom.

When Lin Fuyuan saw the plane that was detained by the British for a long time was sent to Shanghai.No one understood Lin Fuyuan's mood.British ah.The arrogant and domineering boss of the world finally compromised with China.Returned Lin Yuan's fruitless efforts.This touched Lin Fuyuan so much!Lin Fuyuan not only quickly accepted Hua Fei's letter of appointment.Still a few days away.Resolutely broke away from the royalist party.Apply to join the Baath Party.Currently has the qualifications of Baath Party probationary members.This kind of firmness is not as good as even Tan Gen's.However, it has only been a few months since Lin Fuyuan, Tan Gen and others have joined the aviation system of the autonomous region.It is a bit biased for Wang Zhuren to attribute the current achievements of the autonomous region to all of them.

Not to mention the ensuing visit to the Wing Loong aircraft factory and the welcome banquet in a hilariously relaxed atmosphere.Just say that Hua Fei is winning Feng Ru.Tang root.After Fu Yuan these three aviation pioneers.Again to Wang Zhu.Bayu.Wang Xiaofeng and other rising stars joined.I believe that with the continuous improvement of industrial technology in the autonomous region.China's aviation industry.There must be a glorious road.Leading the trend and pioneer of the world aviation industry.

1916 was a very critical year of World War I and an extremely tragic year.This year.Romania joins the fray.Italy | also declared war on Germany since the Battle of Verdun at the beginning of the year.The Battle of the Mu River also unfolded rapidly.These two wars are like a meat grinder, rapidly consuming the national power and military personnel of various countries.Countless taxis and civilians have been involved in the boundless abyss of war and disaster.Attrition trench warfare gas hunger cold mud disease... British French see no end to war.There is also a growing loss of confidence in victory.The people in the country are suffering because of the war.Economic decline.The national strength has bottomed out.If the war is not ended soon.Will fall into the abyss of disaster beyond redemption!The huge war consumption not only makes the war materials continue to skyrocket.It also makes countries more urgent to fight for foreign aid.

Since the publication of Hua Fei's total war military theory.Although many theories and viewpoints are not yet accepted by foreigners.But such as tank cluster rapid assault tactics.Long-range large-scale strategic bombing by bombers and so on were quickly applied in the European War.The rapid defeat of Germany in land warfare in history.It is in line with the participation of the United States in the war.It is also related to the rapid application of British and French tanks.If it weren't for the appearance of tanks.Quickly break the tug-of-war mode of trench warfare.Let alone the Americans send 200 million soldiers.I'm afraid it's another 200 million.These soldiers with no combat experience.I am afraid that he can only bid farewell to the world under the powerful firepower of heavy machine guns.

But now the situation has changed. The Germans who have all the tank technology in China not only quickly produced large quantities of advanced tanks.And it has achieved great results in the first use of tanks in large group operations.The stalemate battles of Verdun and the Somme both made great progress.

Due to the limitations of industrial technology.Therefore, the warrior tanks made in the autonomous region are still very primitive.But Huafei sold the tank design to the Germans.It is several technical levels higher than the warrior tank.Not only fortified tanks with cannons.There are also mobile machine gun fortresses equipped with multiple machine guns.That is simply the scythe of death.Human flesh harvester!

The difference in shape and power.Although Britain, France and other countries are suspicious.But the technology of Chinese people is not transferred from China.So in order to deal with the frenzied attack of German tanks.Britain, France and other countries spared no expense.On the one hand, it speeds up the pace of domestic R&D and production, and on the other hand, it purchases technology heavily from China.And try to negotiate the purchase of large quantities of tanks from China.

But the autonomous region is a neutral country.Although Beijing has long been arguing about whether to declare war on Germany.But the autonomous region still sticks to the principle of neutrality.Do not sell sensitive weapons and equipment to warring countries.Later, the British spared no expense.I almost cried.In the end, Hua Fei relied on the British to mediate the war in Qingdao.Reluctantly agreed to send tanks without weapons and artillery to Britain and France.That would not count as selling heavy weapons and equipment.

Of course the Germans can see the flowers in it.But now they don't dare to blame Hua Fei.Just verbally protested very angrily.It didn't block Hua Fei's way of making money.

The huge advances made in land warfare did not alleviate the Germans' decline in naval warfare after the Battle of Jutland.The Germans learned from the painful experience.On the one hand, it increased the submarine blockade against the United Kingdom, and on the other hand, it decisively dispatched destroyers.The cruiser broke through the British blockade.Intercept and pursue the merchant fleet on the Atlantic shipping line.

The huge damage caused by the war not only caused great damage to the industries of various countries.It also caused countless young people to go to the front line.They died in battle under the bullets produced by their wives and sisters.Countless women were mobilized.production branch.Bullets and other military supplies.The whole country is in full swing for war.

But even so.Still enough manpower.So Britain, France and other countries turned their attention to China.How to say.China is also a big country with a population of over 4 million.It's hard to say.What resources are not abundant.But this population is very sufficient.Besides, the First World War won't be long.Some countries such as Britain and France recruited some workers in Shandong.Low wages.And | there is no more suitable labor than this.

Just this year.When Britain and France were preparing to recruit Chinese laborers in China.Hua Fei has always been uninterested in affairs outside the autonomous region.It turned out to be the vice chairman of the coalition government of the autonomous region.The identity of the Vice President of the Republic of China.Personally ask the Chinese to go to Europe.

Hua Fei said.In order to solve the domestic partial flow, and the work problem of rich idle labor.We accept appointments from various governments.But this operation must be a cooperation between governments.The recruitment and training of Chinese laborers in China and even the organization and service of Chinese laborers in Europe should be undertaken by the Chinese government.

And in order to protect the legitimate interests of Chinese workers.Countries such as Britain and France must not only guarantee the wages and benefits of Chinese workers.It is also necessary to ensure their safety as much as possible.In order to maintain the status of a neutral country.The Chinese laborers must be able to work on the front line.in addition.Countries such as Britain and France must guarantee it.The living and working conditions of all Chinese laborers.Both are required to operate under the management of a government mission.Moreover, it is also necessary to ensure that a certain proportion of workers enter various factories as apprentices and other jobs.

Hua Fei's salary was raised high.So not a problem.And for the first time, Hua Fei expressed his willingness to intervene in the affairs of the European War.Britain, France and other countries are too late.But Huafei's government mission requires and stipulates that 0% of Chinese workers must work in various types of factories.This violated their original intention of using Chinese coolies.

Hua Fei is willing to take over the affairs of the Chinese workers.And negotiated with Britain, France and other countries.Not only the Beiyang military department does not object.The southern ** department has no objection.After all how to look at it.Hua Fei also didn't benefit much from this incident.And Hua Fei is now the vice president.Personally hold one side's military power.No one wants to sin against him at this sensitive time.

When the British and French representatives hesitated.Hua Fei and German Minister to China Marzan issued a joint statement.The autonomous region will recruit and train [-] Chinese workers.By land and sea in batches within three months.Arrived in Germany.Chinese workers.Will be subject to various factories in Germany.Solve the German deficiencies.People's livelihood resources are seriously lacking.

What?0 Chinese workers '1% enter the factory?Shit people's livelihood resources are scarce.In time of war [-].What materials are not war materials?Bread is not a war material?Cotton cloth is not a war material?

Countries such as Britain and France began to protest.But they did not dare to take tough measures against the autonomous region.First, the European War has left them bruised and bruised.Huge loss of energy.Second, the situation in China has undergone tremendous changes.The life and death of Yuan Shikai, whom they were optimistic about, was lying in the hospital.But Hua Fei, who is just a local warlord.Became the vice president of this huge country.Although China is still in a state of fragmentation.Although China is still very backward in some aspects.But as some MEPs have warned.China's most powerful weapon.Is their population.huge population.In terms of the population of the four provinces of the autonomous region that Hua Fei currently controls alone, there are tens of millions of people.These tens of millions of people.There are at least 1000 million people eligible for military service.Even if only 500 million people are expropriated.Then a few months of training.Each issued a gun.Rush to Europe.Join the allied camp.What is this?

In the end, Hua Fei became the vice president.He personally signed a labor contract with Britain, France and other countries for 50 Chinese workers to support the people's livelihood, factories and national construction in Britain and France.Zhong | is not only responsible for recruiting these Wanhua workers.Also responsible for simple training.Responsible for translators.Responsible for delivery to Britain and France for management.all payments.Settlement between national governments.After signing this agreement.Rarely, the Germans did not protest and issued a statement saying that they hoped that countries such as Britain and France would not use workers from neutral countries for acts of war.Otherwise the resulting casualties.They are not responsible.

The Central Beiyang Military Department said in an interview with reporters.The vice president is in the national interest.For the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese workers.Take charge of this personally.Central is very pleased with the results.The Prime Minister claimed.Hope the vice president supports the national discussion.Declare war on Germany.President Li Hong declared that he agreed with the cautious and neutral attitude adopted by the Vice President in diplomacy.

Most of the representatives of the southern protectionist parties remained silent.Even if someone speaks.Also just lightly said.Hope the vice president can urge the State Department.Convene Congress as soon as possible.Restoration of the Provisional Agreement.

Fast forward to 1917.Although the first European war, the change is very beneficial to Germany.However, the German Navy was hit repeatedly and had to withdraw to the port to reuse submarines.With the consumption of war.Economic damage.Domestic conflicts began to intensify and rise.

At the beginning, the Germans introduced the bomber technology of the Huafei Autonomous Region

Once the British were blown up, it was a chicken and a dog jumping.Many Britons were helpless as the planes bombed overhead.Yu turned his anger to Hua Fei in the Far East.If it weren't for the damn Eastern General who made these planes.The Germans are probably still using their stupid, clumsy airships.

Available after 1917.British planes also began approaching German airspace.Although Britain has been bombed.But his biggest advantage is that he has not suffered from the frontal pressure of the army.Moreover, the continuous supply of materials from the United States has made his industrial production capacity unprecedentedly rapid.

Germany under enormous pressure.Also a little hysterical.Outrageously finally announced the launch of unlimited submarine warfare.The whole ocean is noisy.Because of Hua Fei's role as a butterfly.The Germans didn't just have more submarines at this time.And the submarine produced from the Shanghai shipyard.It has created countless chaos in the Indian Ocean.

一时间。英国人急。法国人慌。行驶在大西洋上的商船队。平均三到四艘就有一艘被德国潜艇击沉。协约国商船地损失由1月份的3万吨增2月份50万吨。-猛增3份的70万吨。直4份的105万吨。整个英国的海洋运系统几乎瘫痪。英法等国的造舰速度完全跟不上被德国潜艇击沉的速度。虽然采取了驱逐舰。巡洋舰加装声纳和深水炸弹护航的模式。但技术先进许多的德国艇。还是给各国地商船队里极大的伤害。最终。德国人的行为激怒了美国。加国人的背后操作。美国开始对德宣战。

The Americans didn't just stop building plans for war.Also all shipyards are running at full capacity.Build lots of destroyers.Submarine hunting.Roosevelt, who was then the US undersecretary of the Navy, suggested it and advocated by naval officials such as the United Kingdom.The Allies are preparing to block all sea routes leading to the high seas from Germany.The only way to cut off the boat.For this they not only mass-produce anti-submarine barbed wire.Also began mass production of antennae mines each containing 300 pounds of TNT.to use mine tactics.Blockade of the North Sea and English Channel.Although the West has been partially changed because of flying a butterfly.But the large scope is still within the established trajectory.The only difference is.The wars of various countries have become more fierce.Merchant ships under attack by German submarines.The loss was more severe.Especially when the United States began to increase its troops in Europe.The Germans don't know why.It turned out to be like crazy.Regardless of the loss of the submarine.Blatant attack on US troop carrier escorted by destroyers.More than 30 American soldiers set foot on European soil.They were buried in the sea.

The changes in the East are much greater than in the original history.Because Japan not only did not benefit from the Qingdao War.On the contrary, the relationship with the United Kingdom has become delicate.It was the British who rented the Snake Mountain battlecruiser from the Autonomous Region Navy.Geng Ben's navy was very annoyed.In addition, the rebels in Taiwan are getting more and more fierce.Japan sent two divisions successively, but they were unable to suppress it.I have a terrible headache.In addition, although there is a ceasefire with the navy of the autonomous region.But the naval power of the autonomous region is gradually becoming stronger.The Japanese dare not relax at all.Not to mention sending troops to Europe.

inside China.Because the New Testament law is becoming more and more violent.Sun Wen was instigated by the revolutionaries.Regardless of Hua Fei's objection, he left the autonomous region.Prepare to go to Guangdong to hold a temporary special meeting with members of Congress.

In addition, in Hua Fei's silent |.Duan Rui resolutely passed the declaration of war on Germany.It's just that war has been declared against Germany.But they simply don't have the ability to send a single soldier.And the activities of the Germans within the autonomous region.Still not subject to any restrictions.
