Beiyang reactionaries

He immediately guessed what Duan Xun meant.Duan Xun wanted to buy a plane from the United States, but he said he wanted to help, so it must be because of his father.Although I also have some contacts in the American aviation industry, they are basically concentrated on the classmates who go to school together, which is far from being comparable to my father.My father is one of the representatives of Chinese businessmen in North America, and has good contacts in the American political, military, and business circles.Only with the strength of his father's network can he rely on his own relationship to buy an airplane from the United States.

Duan Xun didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "Yes. I heard that your father has an aircraft factory in the United States, and he is very familiar with many people in the American aviation industry. So I thought, can you let your father think of a way. After all, the arms ban In the treaty, guns and warships are clearly prohibited things. However, the aircraft appeared late, so the aircraft is a relatively vague thing in the treaty. You can say that it is a weapon that can be banned, but it can also be said that it is not a weapon. It depends on the situation. How does the country judge. Of course, I am responsible for how much it should be. Also, you did not study aircraft manufacturing in the United States. See if any of your classmates are willing to work in China. I will immediately It is necessary to build an aircraft factory, which requires a lot of talents in this field."

"How many planes does the general want to buy?"

"At least thirty aircraft."

Yang Xianyi nodded.

Thirty aircraft, not a lot, but definitely not a small number.Although the U.S. government has not invested heavily in the aviation field, many private companies in the U.S. are very interested in aircraft.Therefore, the development of the US aviation industry can be regarded as very fast.

There are many talents.

However, aircraft is a new thing after all. Although the United States has many aircraft manufacturers, there is currently no government, military, or chaebol investing in aircraft manufacturing.Therefore, the current aviation industry in the United States is very scattered, and many aircraft manufacturers are very short of funds.Some are open today and closed tomorrow.There are many aircraft manufacturing companies in the United States, but few are capable.An order of [-] aircraft is definitely not a small amount for an American aircraft manufacturing company, and they will definitely attach great importance to it.

In the current China, it is a first-class aviation force.

Even in Asia, it is not a bad aviation strength.At present, even Japan does not pay much attention to the development of the air force.

Duan Xun has great ambitions.

This was Yang Xianyi's idea.But thinking of the letter Duan Xun wrote to himself, which contained the development plan and future prospects of China's aviation industry, it was even more ambitious.

"General, I will contact my father."

"Great."

Duan Xun nodded.

When Xiong Kewu introduced Yang Xianyi to Duan Xun earlier, he was interested in his own strength and the strength of the family behind him.With Yang Xianyi's father on board, Duan Xun believed that it would be easy to get dozens of planes.

And with him coming forward, Duan Xun trusted enough.

Airplanes are a new thing, even Duan Xun doesn't know which one is more advanced, after all Duan Xun is not a professional.Since Yang Xianyi's father opened an aircraft manufacturing company, he must know more about this than Duan Xun and the others.

Once Duan Xun can own dozens of bombers, it will be quite beneficial to fight in the future.

Especially now that none of the warlords in China has an air force, Duan Xun can completely take the initiative on the battlefield by virtue of his air force superiority.

Yang Xianyi thought for a while and said: "General, if the general trusts me, I will go back to the United States in person. I will send a telegram to my father and ask him to investigate and prepare first. If possible, buy some training planes for us first. Send it over, so that we can receive the first batch of aircraft within three months at most. After I go back, I will buy aircraft with my father to see if I can buy some fighter jets and bombers. Then contact some American aircraft manufacturers to see if they can You can't dig some of the available talent out of them."

"Trust, of course I do."

Duan Xun did not hesitate at all.

In fact, it's not that Duan Xun trusts people easily, but that people like Yang Xianyi are definitely supported by ideals.Yang Xianyi grew up with a golden key in his mouth. He didn't lack for anything since he was a child, but he was willing to go back to China to endure hardships, relying on a kind of belief.

You have to give this kind of person face, or let him feel the respect of others.

The more you are like this, the harder people like him work.So Duan Xun didn't hesitate, and let Yang Xianyi feel how much Duan Xun trusted him.Sure enough, Duan Xun's attitude made Yang Xianyi very happy.

After all, today is the first time I met Duan Xun.

But Duan Xun believed in himself so unreservedly, and this sense of trust was very pleasant.

"Captain Yang, it would be great if you are willing to come forward in person. In this way, I will deposit 300 million in the Bank of America in your name. After you arrive in the United States, use this money to buy an airplane first. If the money is not enough, you Wire me anytime and I'll send money in."

Heavy trust.

Yang Xianyi's expression instantly became more serious.

This trust is too heavy.Duan Xun gave the greatest trust and respect to Yang Xianyi who had just met, and without a word, he would deposit 300 million in the bank and let Yang Xianyi distribute it independently.Yang Xianyi felt Duan Xun's trust, and felt Duan Xun's courage, so he was very excited.

It should be said that I was very moved.

This kind of courage is just the person who does big things.Much better than the generals I saw in the Cantonese Army.

So he immediately said to Duan Xun: "General, don't worry, I will definitely go and come back quickly. It will not exceed eight months at most,"

Yang Xianyi assured Duan Xun.

"it is good."

young man.

Duan Xun, who has been in the political arena for many years, how can he truly achieve the so-called suspicion and employment.That's all to fool children.Where is Duan Xun now because he completely believes in Yang Xianyi.

What he did now was just to catch bigger fish, to win over Yang Xianyi's heart and the family power behind him.

"However, Captain Yang, I heard that you have also brought some talents who know how to fly. But at present, there are no planes to form an air team, and you are going to the United States, what will they do?"

Yang Xianyi is not alone.

This time, more than a dozen people went to Duan Xun along with Yang Xianyi.They are all people who have received aircraft training in the United States, and they are all people who can fly to the sky with an airplane now.

They were brought by Yang Xianyi to build the aviation team.

"General, since there are no airplanes at present, the establishment of the air force will not be completed in a short time. Therefore, I suggest that they all be transferred to aviation school. They not only know how to fly airplanes, but also have some foundation in aircraft manufacturing technology. You can let them go to aviation school as teachers, and you can also help build aircraft factories and aircraft repair shops."

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded, they are all talents.

"General, since the matter is urgent, I will send a telegram to my father now. After saying goodbye to those who came with me, I will leave for Shanghai in the afternoon."

"Captain Yang, please."

275 Annihilation of Enqin

Winters in Mongolia are long and cold.

From October, the temperature in Mongolia will drop rapidly.Sometimes it even snows in October, and the temperature does not start to warm up until April of the following year.In some extreme weather, it will snow even in April.Basically half of the year is in the cold winter.

1919 12 Month 23 Day.

Xu Shichang invited Zhang Zuolin, Cao Kun, Liang Shiyi, and Wu Peifu to hold a meeting in Tianjin, hoping to resolve the current confrontation, and received positive responses from Zhang Zuolin and Cao Kun.Therefore, Xu Shichang decided to hold a new "big five meeting" in Tianjin on the 25th to discuss how to resolve the current confrontation.

Everyone is paying attention.

Follow the outcome of this negotiation.

Did Wu Peifu give up his pursuit of Liang Shiyi, or Liang Shiyi chose to step down.Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, it will have an impact on China's political situation.

But in Outer Mongolia, thousands of miles away, in the cold Outer Mongolia, there is no peace at all.Because the White Russian officer Unqin led his Asian cavalry division into Outer Mongolia.

Enter Outer Mongolia from Manchuria.

Although it is not close from Manzhouli to Kulun, it can not be said to be very far, the distance is less than [-] kilometers.Ungen's troops are cavalry troops, although it is winter and the road conditions are not very good.But if the troops make a long-distance attack, they can reach Kulun in about ten days.Even infantry units can come to Kulun in more than half a month.
