The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The great credit is in front of you, it would be foolish not to take it!Wang Wenda didn't believe that the Japanese army would be willing to sacrifice such a big sacrifice to dig a hole. Besides, he was used to jumping into the hole. After so many years, it wasn't a thrilling game, but didn't he end up winning that time?Fight!

Hundreds of divers carried explosives into the water from the battleship, and began to blast and clear the wooden piles and cement columns deeply rooted in the seabed. This will be a very troublesome and time-consuming job, but there is no good way, and, They can afford to wait too.

But in the end, someone can't afford to wait.When a new round of Japanese air strikes came, the total number of Japanese fighter planes crowded in the south of the Yangtze River Delta, over the chairman's hometown, had almost exceeded [-]!

Among them, more than 100 a6m6s and more than 100 "Ultimate Zero Fighters" are still tossing back and forth in the old battlefield, trying to break through the obstacles and fight towards Nanjing many times.

Another batch of [-] "Ultimate Zero Fighters" took off from Taiwan and Ryukyu respectively, relying on their speed and maneuverability, boldly bypassed the Zhoushan Island base and headed straight for Hangzhou Bay!That posture seems to attack Hangzhou at any time, or turn around and attack Shanghai!

Being tossed about by the Japanese army at the door of his house, Lao Jiang's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot all day long. He yelled at all kinds of idiots and trash, almost involving all the party and country elites he could find.

Of course, there must be Zhu Bin who made him gnash his teeth the most.If this little Ken is more serious, he will be able to reject the Japanese army overseas.Don't let his fighter jets set foot on the country, let alone the dangerous thing that is happening now!Seeing that Japanese fighter planes are about to bomb Shanghai.Once the bomb falls, won't the face and reputation he has accumulated over the years of hard work be wiped out? !

However, it happened that the house was leaking in the rainy days, and when the Japanese army's unprecedentedly clear leading fighter jets were fighting with the Zhongyang Army's fleet in hundreds of miles of airspace, as the commander-in-chief of the Zhongyang Air Force Zhou Zhirou, director of the Aviation Committee, came in with a sad face and reported: "Chairman, more than half of our existing fighter planes have already been put into combat. If they are deployed again, it may affect the defense of the capital and the northern front battle!"

In order to completely keep the Southeast Finance and Taxation Center.Lao Jiang even transferred back the air force deployed in the northwest to deal with his old opponents, but the crazier Japanese army still doesn't seem so rich!

From morning to now, in just one morning, the Central Air Force lost nearly [-] fighters, and the number of Japanese fighters shot down was similar, but the Japanese army seemed to have endless uses.The number is increasing!

On the other hand, the Zhongyang Air Force has put in all the 70 planes deployed in the southeast, more than 200 planes from a regiment of the East China Sea Fleet, and more than [-] planes transferred from Xuzhou, the south, and the west. There is less than one advantage, but the quality of the fighters themselves is uneven.If the fight continues, the result will be worrying!

The Central Yang Air Force has a total of more than 100 fighter planes, and now [-] of them are participating in the battle on the front line of the Great Wall to protect their own undercover troops, and more than [-] of them are staying near Nanjing for security.But I really can't take more power to join the battle!

When Lao Jiang heard this, his forehead buzzed.His fingers trembled, and he pointed to the south and shouted: "What about the South China Sea Fleet and Li Delin's air force? Transfer them here! And the north, where Zhu Hanchen's air force is enough to support them, you can also transfer them here!"

Zhou Zhirou whispered in embarrassment: "Li Delin... said that he found that the Japanese army had a tendency to push into the third war zone, so he didn't dare to act rashly; the South China Sea Fleet is going out for training; in the north... Chairman, it's better to ask Zhu Hanchen to dispatch more come over?"

The north cannot be transferred!Zhou Zhirou knew in her heart that if she really withdrew, if something bad happened there, and the teaching team would be tricked, the chairman would skin all the people involved, and he definitely didn't run away!

Lao Jiang almost blurted out: "If you can instruct him to move him, how come you are in such an embarrassing situation?!"

In front of his subordinates, Zun Rong still had to hold on. He unconsciously tilted his cheeks to the side, and said bitterly: "People like Li Delin are always disconnected at critical moments... Humph! Then don't mention it." Forget it! Zhu Hanchen is also a man who hides his head and shows his tail. I don’t have time to argue with him. By the way, I remember that Jinling Aircraft Factory, Hangzhou Aircraft Factory, and Nanchang Aircraft Factory all have production. Let them work overtime to speed up production! Don’t delay use!"

At any rate, he is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and Lao Jiang finally knows how much money he has under his hands.Those three aircraft factories were all set up with Zhu Bin's help, and they are top-notch. They have contributed hundreds of fighter planes to the Central Air Force in the past few years.

Zhou Zhirou was sweating profusely on his forehead, and murmured: "...Chairman, the three aircraft factories have started work in succession, but since the reorganization has just been completed, I'm afraid...it's too late."

"Mother Xipi! What's going on?! How can the country's important cornerstone and lifeline be so negligent? What the hell is going on?!"

Lao Jiang ran away violently on the spot, almost jumping up in the situation, but suddenly lowered his tone after shouting a few words

Yes, he himself knows exactly what happened!

Yes, the three aircraft factories were first established with the help of Zhu Bin. The first was the Hangzhou factory, which was completed jointly with Curtiss and was able to manufacture P-2 and other fighters. The Jinling factory was built later, and Nanchang mainly assembled bombers. It's quite a large scale, but after falling out with Zhu Bin a few years ago, Song Wen came forward to negotiate, and the relationship was cleared up.After that, Chairman Jiang was nominally in charge, and Zhou Zhirou was in charge below, but the real production was in the hands of the Kong family.

Over the past few years, not only has the scale of the aircraft factory not expanded, but a lot of precious equipment has been scrapped for no reason. The raw materials purchased with a large amount of money are several times more expensive, and the output has also dropped significantly.This year, Zhu Bin took over the reorganization of equipment, and there are the most difficult units there. Until now, the Japanese army has killed them right under their noses, and they haven't done it yet!

What can Lao Jiang say about the good things his relatives have done?He still counted on this group of people to carry the sedan chair for him to stabilize his position, is it really embarrassing?No way!

He let out a heavy breath, and Lao Jiang waved his hands roughly: "I don't care what method you use, the front line must always have fighters, and if it delays a major event, it will be dealt with by military law!"

He seemed to feel that this was a bit inhumane, and was afraid of hurting his confidants, so he added: "If you have any difficulties, you can discuss it with Minister He and Minister Song! State affairs are important, so don't get angry!"

Zhou Zhirou quickly nodded as if she had been pardoned: "Yes! Yes! I will definitely get things done as soon as possible!"

He walked out the door with his head down, took out his handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, and quickly stepped out of Lao Jiang's place. He immediately changed his face, went back to the office, picked up the phone, and immediately wanted to call Kong Xiangxi: "Minister Kong! Your proposal I have already settled the matter! Please contact the United States as soon as possible to facilitate the transaction, the war ahead is tense, and there is no delay!"

Speaking of it, it seems like asking the other party to do a huge troublesome thing.But in fact, it was Kong Xiangxi who had been eyeing the big fat piece of aviation for a long time!

Don't think that the super comprador doesn't understand military strategy. Without that brain, he can't be a country's finance minister, let alone manage a country's economy, finance and taxation. In terms of making money, Kong Xiangxi is first-rate.

What are the virtues of those factories in the Zhongyang Air Force? He knows very well in his heart that Zhu Bin has great abilities, and it is impossible to straighten them out in a short time. The manufacture of aircraft is not as simple as making tractors. People have been cleaned from the inside out, and it is very difficult for outsiders to intervene.

Now, the seemingly powerful air force of the central government is leaking light, and the air power of the entire country can't stop Japan's all-out attack. Unless Zhu Bin takes action, Lao Jiang has no choice but to ask for help if he wants to keep the country.Right now, the only option is to find an American, and it happens that he, Mr. Kong, has many friends in the United States who can be contacted.

When Japanese fighter planes appeared in the sky over Fenghua, Kong Xiangxi called Zhou Zhirou's office to remind him, and sure enough, within half a day, things turned around.

Of course, Kong Xiangxi didn't need to come forward by himself. Naturally, his subordinates contacted American companies, and the representatives of Curtiss, Douglas, Lockheed, Bell and other companies are currently staying in Shanghai. Once the Sino-Japanese war started, they all realized that , the chance to make a fortune is here!

That afternoon, Zhou Zhirou first connected with Curtis "through a friend's introduction".As old friends who have cooperated for ten years and have a friendly history of joint research on fighter jets, the two parties reached a purchase contract for the first batch of 40 P[-] fighter jets without much effort, and ordered the next batch of [-] fighter jets.

Bell Corporation and Lockheed Corporation also presented their own fighters, although they were much more expensive than Curtiss's, and the performance was not as good in all aspects, and there was no guarantee for the output at all. Based on the principle of "making friends widely", a thousand forward orders were placed. In this way, a huge contract of nearly [-] million US dollars was formed at once.

The negotiation was successfully completed, and the representatives of both sides raised their glasses to celebrate in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Zhu Bin got the record of the whole process at the first time, pointed at the transaction price and sneered: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being an elite of the party and country, and he spends so much money! Broken p-40 is just a simplified version of our p-24, xing The performance indicators are not up to standard, and they dare to ask for [-] US dollars a plane, which is twice as expensive as our production cost! They dare to ask for it!"

Cao Han said sarcastically: "At least 1000 of them are rebates, and the price is even clearly marked! Once an order is made, the Kong family can transfer more than [-] million U.S. dollars. It really is a good material for doing business!"

Zhu Bin was furious: "It's his uncle! The old three manufacturing factories spent tens of millions of dollars! Gou Ri's free gift to them can be ruined, I don't feel bad for selling my father's land, what is it! "

Cao Han sighed: "The mud can't support the wall, it's so rotten that you can't even count on it! Thanks to you, you took it back, otherwise, maybe one day the Japanese will use our equipment to make weapons to fight over, that's God. Big joke!"

Zhu Bin gritted his teeth: "That will never happen!"
