Chapter 158

"Dean, is it really okay for us to invite Jiang Baili in?"

Back in the courtyard, Cheng Nuo told everyone about inviting Jiang Baili to train students.

While being pleasantly surprised by the expansion of his own team, he has a little doubt about this newcomer who is about to come in.

"It's not that I don't believe in Mr. Jiang's ability, but that he is still holding a position in the public office. It's really worrying to have a part-time job in our Academy of Sciences." Jiang Jiangzuo took the lead to stand up and proposed as a representative Everyone's question.

Cheng Nuo sat at the head seat, looked at the subordinates under his left and right hands, and said with a smile, "Does everyone think so? If you have any other questions, you might as well speak up. Hiding them will also affect our internal affairs." Let's unite."

Guo Shouchun hesitated to speak, opened his mouth clearly to say something, but finally closed it again.

Cheng Nuo noticed this, and said with a smile: "Old Guo, you have something to say, just say it boldly and directly, and there are no outsiders here."

"Okay, then I'll tell you straight." Guo Shouchun stood up from his seat, bowed his hands to the surrounding comrades and said, "Dean, your news may be a little behind. Duan. As for our Mr. Jiang, I heard from my classmates that he was hired as an advisor to the presidential palace not long ago.

At the same time, he was appointed as a lieutenant general by a major general, and Mr. Jiang readily accepted it. At this time, we openly announced that he was hired to join our Academy of Sciences, which is unavoidable. If someone with the surname Duan comes in the future, how should we treat him? "

The line Cheng Nuo set before was to keep politics as little as possible, so after hearing that Jiang Baili was so involved, the expression on his face gradually became serious: "Is there such a thing!?"

Shi Jin from the Mechanical Academy nodded, and said solemnly: "Not only that, Jiang Baili is the worst mess in Duan Qirui's cabinet. Even his good friend Lin Changmin became the Chief Justice.

Dean, tell me, if such a complicated political figure is suddenly recruited, can he do academic work with peace of mind?Invisibly attracting the attention of the upper echelon to us, there are more constraints out of thin air, which is extremely unfavorable for future development. "

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Nuo slowly said: "Everyone's worries are not unreasonable. After all, Duan Qirui is famous for 'his hand covers the sky, but he has no eyes'. It is really eye-catching that we suddenly recruited his consultant."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, thinking that Cheng Nuo followed everyone's ideas and gave up recruiting Jiang Baili, so his face couldn't help but relax a lot.

But who knows that Cheng Nuo only said half of what he said, and the rest is the most important thing: "But comrades, have you ever thought that as our scale continues to expand and more and more new comrades join us, sooner or later we will completely Exposure to the public view, this situation is obviously independent of personal will.

It is precisely because of this mentality of being afraid of wolves and tigers that we give up more influential comrades to join, which is a bit of a waste of food because of choking.In my opinion, as long as the purpose of our Academy of Sciences is to save the country and the people, it is difficult not to have anything to do with politics.

This day may happen tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow. No one can guarantee the specific day. We cannot deliberately resist because of fear. Blocking is worse than sparse. "

Looking at the crowd, Cheng Nuo paused for a while, and laughed at himself: "Besides, Mr. Jiang's attitude is still in an ambiguous stage. He hasn't expressed his attitude about whether he really wants to come. If the other party doesn't want to come at all, our worries will come to nothing. A joke?"

After speaking, everyone was silent.

In the end, Jiang Jiangzuo was more courageous, and laughed out loud: "Think about it, everyone, Liang Qichao, our established dean of the Academy of Social Sciences, is Mr. Jiang Baili's teacher. If the teacher can come in, why can't this student come in?"

Guo Shouchun on the side couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Lifu, Lifu, I only obey you when it comes to changing the flag."

Jiang Jiangzuo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is not a change of course. It is clear that the dean is right, and he has convinced me by presenting the facts and reasoning. Think carefully about this ghost's presidential adviser. If he has no power, Second, without an army, it is clearly a mascot."

Cheng Nuo smiled and nodded: "It seems that everyone has seen the essence through the appearance. It is very difficult for Mr. Jiang Baili to make a difference in politics now. As long as the Duan government does not fall, he will always be guarded and placed in front of him. The road will be narrower and narrower.

Our action at this time can be regarded as a timely help. Although he is still considering what he said, in my opinion, he is already very moved. "

As he spoke, he took out Jiang Baili's completed draft of "Theory of Duties and Duties" and placed it in front of everyone.

Jiang Jiangzuo, who took the manuscript, hesitated and said, "What is this?"

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "Don't forget that our Mr. Jiang Baili is not only an advisor to the Presidential Office, but also a top military student studying in Japan and Germany. He compiled this manuscript. His core idea is to save the country and the people just like us. , take a look, I’m going to publish it in the courtyard’s magazine later.”

Originally, they had some opinions on Cheng Nuo's point of view, but after the process of circulating the manuscripts to each other, everyone's views completely changed.

For his colleagues in the military field, Zai Tao liked his future colleagues more and more: "Everyone may not know, this gentleman is a great talent. He was a good friend with General Cai E, who was in charge of the Southwest, and he almost let him go. It is not easy to come to our place as the governor of Yunnan Province."

"That's right, what Mr. Zai said is quite right." Cheng Nuo deliberately put on a trick, and said with a smile: "But then again, this Mr. Jiang still has a relationship with you when he came here."

Zai Tao was stunned, and couldn't help asking curiously: "How to say, is it because Mr. Jiang Baili went to study abroad through the previous dynasty?"

Cheng Nuo smiled and shook his head: "It's not just that. If I remember correctly, Mr. Zai was organized by you, and the earliest aircraft research institute in our country was formally established."

Although Zai Tao was puzzled, he still replied: "Yes, there is such a thing. It is at the Dahongmen in Nanyuan, Beijing, and it is still there."

"By the way, the only way I can convince Mr. Jiang is to tell him that we are going to engage in the plane business." Walking in front of Zai Tao, Cheng Nuo patted him on the shoulder: "As for now, you alone bring a hundred A half-sized child is also very tired, and he probably can't manage it.

If Mr. Jiang is really willing to come over, I am going to send him to you first, to get used to it for a while, and help you by the way, what do you think? "

Zai Tao hesitated: "It's good, but he is a lieutenant general after all, so I'm afraid he's not so easy to talk to."

Cheng Nuo laughed and said, "So you are worried about this. I don't think there is any need for it. You were also the commander of the Imperial Guard before. You are no worse than his rank of lieutenant general. You can completely surrender."

Zai Tao blushed, and wanted to argue: "These are two different things, what about the commander of the Imperial Guard, it would make people laugh..."

Cheng Nuo interrupted: "That's it, the only ones who understand military affairs in our Academy of Sciences are you two. If you don't partner with each other, who else do you want to find? When the time comes, you have mistrained the training of these seedlings, and I will settle accounts with you." ah!"

Seeing this, Zai Tao had no choice but to bow his hands, expressing that he had accepted the "military order", thinking in his heart that he would go to Jiang Baili's house in advance after the meeting, to find out and get acquainted in advance.

Cheng Nuo got up and returned to his seat, looked at everyone Cheng Nuo said seriously: "Here, I can tell you in advance that in the near future, while Comrade Bayuzao is building the aircraft, the Civil Aviation School of the Academy of Sciences will also be preparing for it at the same time. , Welcome everyone to make suggestions."

This sentence exploded in the crowd like a firecracker. Before they could react to what Jiang Baili had arranged, they heard this heavy news again, and there was a lot of discussion.

At this time, Cheng Nuo was like an outsider, sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, drinking tea slowly.

There are three main modes of training pilots in modern my country, namely, government-sponsored study abroad, domestic training, and overseas schools, among which the domestic training method is the focus.

In addition to the Nanyuan Aviation School mentioned above, before the Nanjing government unified China Aviation, there were Northeast Aviation School, Yunnan Aviation School, Baoding Aviation School, Guangdong Aviation School, Guangxi Aviation School, etc. During the Anti-Japanese War, they were gradually unified into the central aviation school.

The scale of training institutions is Guangdong Aviation School and Central Aviation School, which only recruited about 100 students in their heyday. As for other institutions, there are about 30-50 students, and some have only a dozen students, or even only one. Expect.

After a rough calculation, from the preparation of the Nanyuan Aviation School to the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, in the past 24 years, various training institutions in modern China have trained about 1740 pilots, which is not enough to deal with the imperialist war of aggression.

As for the civil aviation envisioned by Cheng Nuo, it is not that there has been no civilian use in the past few decades, but very few. They are Xiamen Civil Aviation School, Shanghai China Flight Club, and Shanghai Civil Aviation Flight Club. The scale is extremely small and the training capacity is extremely limited. , and the existence time is very short.

As a person who has been in contact with the Air Force, Zai Tao has something to say: "At that time we did prepare the Air Force of the Imperial Guard, selected officers to practice flying, and formed the Air Force, but the actual cost was too high, and the government could not afford it." , Personal strength is really not enough.”

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "We can build the plane ourselves, we don't need to buy someone else's, which saves hundreds of thousands of investment. As far as I know, Nanyuan Aviation School bought several Godron planes, but none It can exceed the horsepower of the aircraft designed by Mr. Bayuzao, and it is far behind in terms of comprehensive performance."

In fact, Nanyuan Aviation School is capable of self-made aircraft. In addition to importing engines, damaged aircraft can be overhauled. Frames, cylinders, spiral plates and other components can be made by the factory itself, but the school’s funds are not stable, and the style is old. Old, built a few and then gave up.

Later, when the aircraft was rebuilt, World War I was in progress. The trainer aircraft used by the Nanyuan Aviation School was a French Gaudron type aircraft. The aviation school trained students, and the aircraft must have lost a lot. Because of the European War, the new aircraft could not be replenished, so the self-made Airplanes are just what aviation schools need.

According to the later experience of imitating foreign products, the cost of self-made products is often a fraction of the price of foreign products.Even if foreign engines are used, the cost of self-made aircraft is much lower than direct purchase.

Cheng Nuo has Bayuzao and Tesla here, the engine can be designed and built independently, and the cost can be further reduced. Therefore, the actual cost of running the aviation school is far lower than Zai Tao's estimate.

I told everyone present about the cost of establishing an aviation school, but concerns still exist.

Zai Tao asked: "The plane is available, and the site is easy to solve, but how to find flight instructors, especially experienced instructors, is even more difficult to find."

Cheng Nuo thought about it for a while, and said his plan: "You are right to be worried. There were only a handful of pilots when the flight training began, but this does not mean that there is no solution. Not to mention digging the pilots from the Nanyuan Aviation School next door. For the time being, some overseas Chinese pilots and foreign pilots can be hired.

It will not be too late to carry out localization until our locally trained pilots gradually take shape. "

Guo Shouchun nodded, and asked again: "What about our recruits? As far as I know, Nanyuan Aviation School is mainly soldiers. If we run an aviation school, we can't emulate them anymore, right?"

Cheng Nuo replied: "The public aviation school is actually established to increase the number of military services, improve the military system, and expand military strength. For civilian use, of course, we cannot select from the military, but from this batch of [-]-person school workers.

If the indicators have not been completed, they can also be selected from various middle school graduates and recruit students nationwide. "

Zai Tao approved of this arrangement, and the worries on his face dissipated a lot: "In this way, the preparation of our aviation school seems to be very feasible."

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "With everyone here, of course it's feasible. Besides, setting up an aviation school is not just about teaching students how to fly a plane, it also requires academic and technical subjects to be taught at the same time."

Jiang Jiangzuo asked curiously: "What is a subject, and what is an art subject?"

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "The subject is mainly based on aviation theory education, and the technical subject is to teach flying technology, especially in flying technology. It is recommended to adopt a three-level system of elementary, intermediate, and advanced. Only after meeting the requirements of one stage can students be promoted to the next level." a stage."

Zai Tao asked: "Requirements? Do you mean flying skills?"

Cheng Nuo smiled and shook his head: "Of course it's not that simple. In addition to the flying skills you mentioned, there are also requirements for flying knowledge and flight duration. Regular medical examinations are also required in the middle. Ground professional!"

After a set of theories, everyone couldn't help but be convinced by Cheng Nuo's arrangement. They really didn't expect that the dean thought of even the minutiae besides the slogan, so he almost implemented it directly.

Jiang Jiangzuo said seriously: "So, Dean, are you determined to run an aviation school?"

Cheng Nuo took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "In the future, our Academy of Sciences will thoroughly implement industry-university-research and form a defense-science-industry alliance, which will not only promote the military revolution, but also promote economic development.

Building airplanes and running aviation schools are just our starting point, not our end point. "
