"Mr. Zhuoyan said long ago that China's navy and army have lagged behind the world. To catch up, it will take thousands of times of effort to make up for the lack of the past. Only in the field of air force, all countries in the world have just started, and China is bound to bite. We must live, and we must not lag behind others, otherwise China will not have a chance to reverse its national destiny within a hundred years!"

"Yunhua, I always hear you mention Mr. Zhuoyan. He seems to be young, so why is he worthy of your respect?" Wang Zhu asked with a smile from the side.

Both Wang Zhu and Bayuzao were selected to study in the United Kingdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty. After the outbreak of World War I, they had no choice but to go to the United States to study. They studied aviation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology together and obtained a master's degree. Afterwards, they entered an aircraft manufacturing company in the United States as an intern. .

Wang Zhu successfully entered Boeing, which was just established at that time, and became the first chief engineer, helping Boeing win the first order from the Navy. , and Wang Zhu is also famous in the American aviation industry.

"Yupeng, do you think there will be a day when China surpasses the great powers? China is full of various factories that can produce the most sophisticated products, take off the crown of the world's factory, and have the world's most powerful armed forces. All countries must be in awe of China’s power.”[

Hearing Bayuzao's words, Wang Zhu said with a wry smile: "Yunhua, I naturally hope so, but the longer I stay in Europe and the United States, the more I understand the gap between us and them. A feeling of despair, and even worry that China will sink like this forever."

"Yeah, many people think so, but Mr. Zhuoyan is the only one I have seen who has full confidence, and not only confidence, but also real methods. The most fundamental thing that China lags behind the West is its industrial backwardness. They can manufacture We can't make it. All Westerners can earn huge profits by virtue of their excellent commodities, so that the people can enjoy a rich life, and at the same time build a powerful army to protect commercial interests. If the Chinese can one day manufacture The same thing, with our huge population advantage, has the ability to crush any great power."

Wang Zhu listened carefully, and said with a smile: "This argument is different from that of many Chinese scholars. They value the humanistic spirit, the political system, and Western democracy and freedom."

Bayuzao sighed, and said with a sneer: "This is the difference between a man of action and a Qingliu who is misleading the country with empty talk. Yu Peng, it's not like you haven't experienced it in the United States. Do you still believe in their so-called democracy and freedom? "

Bayuzao's words immediately aroused Wang Zhu's sadness.In fact, after Wang Zhu became the chief engineer of Boeing, he already had a considerable reputation in the American aviation industry.As a veteran of Boeing.The future prospects are quite impressive, and Wang Zhu has also wavered about whether he wants to develop in the United States. After all, the conditions that the United States can provide are really great!

But then the U.S. Navy tested the seaplane designed and built by Wang Zhu, but Wang Zhu was not allowed to enter the test site because they were worried that they would learn the advanced aviation technology of the United States.

This is a completely absurd accusation.But at this time, Wang Zhu also saw clearly the "nature" of racial discrimination in the United States. In such an era of white supremacy, overseas travelers can only be respected if they truly have a strong motherland.For this reason, Wang Zhu still returned to China with Bayuzao and the others.

The freighter gradually entered the port, and the welcoming crowd could already be seen on the pier. Bayuzao got off the freighter first, and Wang Zhu and others followed closely behind. After a long voyage, the young students on the ship They are all very tired, especially in order to transport more machines, they can only squeeze in a small space with the crew, and endure all kinds of smells, if it is not supported by the blood in their chests, I am afraid no one would want to do this suffer.

"Yun Hua, we will meet again after one or two years!"

Zhang Tinglan greeted Bayuzao with a smile, and Bayuzao also noticed Zhang Tinglan. After two years, Zhang Tinglan seemed to have become more mature, with a heroic air in his gentleness, and a decisive manner. Obviously, this kind of demeanor of a high-ranking person has also been experienced in two years.

"Mr. Zhuoyan, when we were studying in the United States, we tried our best to find news about the country every day. Do you know how happy we are when we heard that you have recovered the Middle East Road? For two whole days, we were so excited that we couldn't sleep. Return to the country immediately, and fight with the soldiers of Fengjun to kill the enemy for the country."

"Don't worry, the Middle East Road is just an appetizer, and you will be useful soon." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Please introduce others for me, and let me see how many talents you have brought back."

Bayuzao smiled and pulled over two young people, both in their 30s and [-]s, one was fair and gentle, the other was energetic and capable.

"These two are my classmates. They both graduated from MIT's aviation major. The little boy is called Wang Zhu, and the other monkey is called Wang Xiaofeng. There are only a dozen of them who graduated at the same time, and the Chinese accounted for three. , Facts have proved that the learning ability of Chinese people is no worse than that of Westerners! ”

Zhang Tinglan also felt the same way. The learning ability of the Chinese people has also been recognized in later generations. China does not lack geniuses, but only lacks a stage for talents to fully display.He may not be familiar with Wang Xiaofeng and Zhang Tinglan, but he is very clear about Wang Zhu. This famous father of Boeing is definitely the top authority in the field of early aircraft manufacturing.

However, like most Chinese experts in this era, their talents have not been brought into play. After Wang Zhu returned to China, he has been struggling to manufacture China's own aircraft, and also tried to set up his own aircraft factory. However, the first aircraft he manufactured Unfortunately, it crashed during the test flight.

In fact, it is very normal in the aviation field. The early development of aircraft was based on human lives. However, because the government of the Republic of China did not understand and did not pay attention to it, Wang Zhu did not get any substantive benefits in the following time. 』, the dream has been stuck in the dream stage.

Until the period of the Anti-Japanese War, Chinese pilots could only fly foreign aircraft and fight against the Japanese invaders. Soon the air force became a real "air force", and at this time Wang Zhu could only be responsible for the maintenance of aircraft.It has the top aviation talents, but China does not have its own aircraft. This cannot but be said to be the tragedy of the Republic of China.

The so-called golden decade is also a fortress built on the beach. It looks good, but without a strong heavy industry as the backbone, as a pillar, it can't stand the collision at all, and a "government" that doesn't know how to develop industry can only be in the Under the attack of the Japanese, they were defeated again and again, and retreated to the southwest. [

Now that Wang Zhu and others have just returned from their studies, it is the time when they are in their prime. History will never repeat itself, and the planes that belong to the Chinese will definitely rule the blue sky.

"Welcome to the three eastern provinces to show your talents. I made a proposal to Yushuai a few days ago to set up several aircraft manufacturing factories. You three talents, plus the teacher of Nanyuan Aviation School. Temporarily set up two One fighter factory, two bomber factories, if you like, this aircraft factory will be named after you, which is also the Western practice."

After hearing Zhang Tinglan's proposal, Bayuzao, Wang Zhu, and Wang Xiaofeng all stared wide-eyed. Feng Jun's handwriting was really extraordinary, and he was going to build four aircraft factories at once. Just listening to it made him feel refreshed.

"Mr. Zhuoyan, why do we have to build two factories for fighter jets and bombers? Isn't this a waste of resources? Let's gather our forces together and build a large factory, can't we?" Bayuzao was a little puzzled. asked.

"Of course not. Everyone needs to be under pressure, and factories also need to have competition. In the future, there will be more types of aircraft, and the functions will not be completely the same. Different design ideas are required. Of course, too many are not good, and will disperse power. For the time being, there will be two fighter jets and two bombers, and we will increase them appropriately in the future!"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "You should also pay attention. Funds are always limited. You must show enough skills to fight for funds, and you must also produce the best products to obtain orders from the army, so that your factories can develop."

Bayuzao and others understood Zhang Tinglan's plan in an instant. The purpose was to form healthy competition in the entire industry and achieve the best results. Experts, having such an expert leader makes them feel at ease. It seems that the three northeastern provinces are indeed places where they can realize their dreams.

Bayuzao then introduced other talents to Zhang Tinglan. Among them were overseas Chinese, students who were paid by Beiyang officials, and several apprentices sent by Zhang Tinglan. They were mainly engaged in aviation, metallurgy, and machine manufacturing. Such a major is exactly what Fengjun needs most.

Even those few apprentices are quite remarkable. They not only learn skills in American factories, but also pay attention to factory management skills. After two years of training, they have no problem managing a workshop in China.In addition to these talents, there is another group of people led by Hou Debang. They are mainly talents in the chemical industry. Since they have also purchased a lot of machines, they cannot be shipped back by one ship, so it will take a month before they can return to China. .

Zhang Tinglan is already very satisfied with having these talents, and Fengjun's aviation industry has finally settled down.

"Mr. Zhuoyan, we heard that Fengjun was fighting the Russians, so we used the funds you provided to trial-manufacture ten aircraft and purchased a batch of engines. We can assemble them as soon as we need them."

When Zhang Tinglan heard Bayuzao's words, his eyes lit up: the air force is done! (To be continued..)
