Beiyang reactionaries

Of course not so much now.

Now it's two different things, fighter jets and bombers.

During World War II, countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States and Soviet Germany produced hundreds of thousands of aircraft.Thousands of aircraft are invested in a battle, and whoever controls the air at that time will control the initiative on the battlefield.

Although Duan Xun's current industrial strength cannot be compared with the later powers such as Britain, the United States and Soviet Germany, it is still possible to develop the air force.In particular, it should be of great use to build some bombers and put them into the battlefield of unifying the country.

Even if it doesn't really work, it's okay to scare people.

And starting to develop from now on, whoever says that they will not be able to have a strong air force 20 years from now.And now is the best time, Qin Guoyong has gathered the best pilots in China at present, and can even be said to be the only group of pilots.

Duan Qirui doesn't pay much attention to them, but Duan Xun can't poach people.Duan Qirui does not have much support for them, but if the local warlords poach people, Duan Qirui will not be able to forgive them.Duan Xun is not easy to poach the wall.

Now Cao Kun doesn't pay much attention to them, so Duan Xun will not be polite.

"General, aircraft is a new thing, and there are almost no domestic ones. However, our country still has some experts in this field who have returned from studying abroad. Our military affairs department has contacted three people. Two of them are graduates of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. , currently working in the Naval Aircraft Engineering Department of the Mawei Shipping Bureau. One of them is Wang Zhu and the other is Bayuzao. "

"Wang Zhu? Bayuzao?"

Duan Xun thought for a while, and was a little impressed.

It seems that they are two people who are highly touted on the Internet in later generations.But regardless of whether the touts on the Internet are true or not, in the current China, it is quite remarkable to be able to graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and obtain a master's degree.And it's even more remarkable that they are all graduates of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering.

Not to mention that he also served as an aeronautical engineer in an American aircraft company, which shows that he was affirmed by the American aircraft manufacturing company.In China today, such people are absolute talents.

"How are they doing now?"

"The navy didn't treat them badly. They also paid a lot of attention to them, and the positions were not low. The navy hopes that they can manufacture seaplanes, and it seems to be close to success. But you know, general. There are too many things this year, plus The Zhiwan War broke out in the world, the Ministry of the Army had no money, and the Ministry of the Navy had nothing. Moreover, more than half of the national navy is in the hands of generals, and many are in the hands of Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang. The Ministry of the Navy exists in name only. The cabinet is in turmoil, and the chief of the Navy has changed six people within one year, so the Ministry of the Navy can’t take care of them, so there is no funding at all. The Aircraft Engineering Department of the Mawei Shipping Bureau has no money, so it can’t build aircraft with bare hands.”

Duan Xun sighed.

Maybe this is the sorrow of these technicians and scientists during the Republic of China.Many people have not been able to catch up with the good times and have not been able to use their talents.Just like Wang Zhu and Bayuzao, if they lived in peaceful times, they might both be talented aeronautical engineers.

It's a pity that in this era when the industry is poor and funding is not enough, no matter how talented they are, they are still heroes.

"Where's Fujian Governor Li Houji?"

The Naval Aircraft Engineering Department of the Mawei Shipping Bureau is in Fujian. The Beijing government does not care about it at present. Where is the Fujian Governor?If Li Houji is willing to take care of it, the Naval Aircraft Engineering Department of the Mawei Shipping Bureau should be able to manage it.

Because Li Houji is not short of money.

Among the Anhui warlords, Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang are the richest, while Li Houji actually has a strong family background, and there is no problem with his annual financial income of 5000 to [-] million.Picking a little bit out of the hand is enough for Naval Aircraft Engineering to survive.

"General, what do you think?"

Xiong Kewu smiled slightly.

Duan Xun nodded.

This question is too much to ask.Li Houji, who served as the governor of Fujian in Fujian, has a lot of money in his hands, but he is notoriously stingy.He was on the same level as Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Hubei at the time, in terms of greed and contempt.Because Li Houji sold opium on a large scale in Fujian, Fujian is currently the number one planting place of opium in the country.

In Guangdong, Shanghai, and Jiangsu, the richest places in China, the opium they use is all produced in Fujian, and the opium tax alone costs tens of millions a year.Although Li Houji couldn't deal with those big and small warlords in Fujian, he was at least the governor of Fujian and the strongest in Fujian.Li Houji currently supports three divisions, and his strength is not bad.The warlords in Fujian, big and small, did not listen to Li Houji, but they did not dare to provoke Li Houji either.

The income from opium is also the most earned by Li Houji.

But who is Li Houji?

How would he spend his money on supporting some Naval Aircraft Engineering Agency.If Li Houji was really ambitious, he could expand the army with his capital strength, and it would be easy to support five or six divisions.But Li Houji never thought about expanding the army. On the contrary, all the money was put into his own pocket.He didn't care that so many disobedient warlords were entrenched in the province, and he was very comfortable being the governor of Fujian.

With money to earn, he is still the biggest boss in Fujian, and he doesn't have much ambition.

"What do they mean? Are you willing to come to me and help me build an aircraft factory."

"I don't think it's a big deal."

"That's good. With these people, we have our own technical team. Our aircraft factory has a start. How about another one?"

"This person is quite special."

"Who?"

"Yang Xianyi."

269 Air Force 2

"Yang Xianyi? Who is it?"

"General, this person's background is not simple."

Xiong Kewu's expression was very serious, but also mysterious.Duan Xun looked a little funny, and he didn't know who this was, so Xiong Kewu always had this expression.

So Duan Xun smiled and said: "Tell me, I want to hear how extraordinary this person is, and see how sacred this person is."

Duan Xun had heard the names of Wang Zhu and Bayuzao.Especially Wang Zhu, who is the most touted person on the Internet 100 years later.What is known as the chief engineer of Boeing.It is considered to be the most regrettable talent of that era.

Duan Xun didn't know if it was true.

But even if it is true, Duan Xun doesn't believe the exaggerated statement of Later Generation Network.Because so what about Boeing, the current Boeing is just a small workshop, and it is completely different from the famous Boeing in later generations.

Even if Wang Zhu is really the chief aeronautical engineer of Boeing, he won't be touted as saying that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on earth.Because no matter what the reason is, Wang Zhu has not been able to establish much achievements in history.

Of course it wasn't his fault, it was the anachronism.

Now that Duan Xun is here, he is making up for Wang Zhu's regret.If Wang Zhu can really help Duan Xun to build China's own aviation industry, then he can do whatever he wants.

But Duan Xun had never heard of Yang Xianyi's name.

When Xiong Kewu mentioned the names of Wang Zhu and Bayuzao just now, he just introduced them briefly.On the contrary, when it came to Yang Xianyi, Xiong Kewu was mysterious, which surprised Duan Xun.

What kind of big shot is worthy of Xiong Kewu.

"General, you know that there were two sugar kings in China 20 years ago."

"Sugar King?"

Duan Xun paused, thought for a while, and nodded slowly: "I have some impressions. One is Huang Zhonghan, who is known as the sugar king of Indonesia, and the other seems to be the sugar king of Hawaii. I can't remember what it is called. It seems that the surname is Yang. not……"

Huang Yizhu is the richest man in Indonesia and also the sugar king of Indonesia, even the sugar king of Nanyang region.

But in fact, before Huang Yi lived, there was a more powerful sugar king in Indonesia named Huang Zhonghan.Huang Zhonghan is only two years older than Huang Yizhu, but he made his fortune more than ten years earlier than Huang Yizhu.

As early as when Huang Yizhu first set foot in the sugar industry, Huang Zhonghan was already the famous Indonesian sugar king.At that time, it was said that [-]% to [-]% of the sugar industry in Southeast Asia was controlled by Huang Zhonghan.

Huang Zhonghan is regarded as the earliest Indonesian sugar king, and also the first big man in the Nanyang region to set foot in the sugar industry.After that, overseas Chinese in Nanyang gradually invested in the sugar industry, and several big names in this industry came out.

Such as Huang Yi live.

But it was more than ten years later than Huang Zhonghan.
