Heavy Industry Empire

Liu Tianling knocked on the table and said: "Money may be only one aspect. People like Commander Feng don't care about the hundreds of thousands of oceans. Do you think it's because they saw that we have a huge air force and were jealous, so they deliberately sent people in the middle of the road?" intercepted,"

At this time, Jia Cai and others in the office were not there, so Zhu Yupu hesitated, touching his chin before speaking.

"All staff officers, it's okay to be straightforward, don't be shy just because you are new here,"

Zhu Yupu said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just feel that this matter is strange. Although the air force team returning from Luoyang has only 200 people, plus an escort team of 80 people, they are well-equipped. The 100-member air force escort team is equipped with submachine guns." , I think both Tong Linge and Commander Feng are aware of this, since they both know, why did they send five hundred soldiers with ordinary weapons to intercept and kill them?"

Zhu Yupu's words hit the point, and Liu Tianling nodded, "That's right, if I were them, if I wanted to kill or take Dayang back, I would definitely send more troops or more heavy weapons to complete this mission. , They did not do this, which means that Tong Linge or Commander Feng did not do this, but the Shangqiu generation has no such large-scale bandits."

"It's hard to conclude this matter. I suggest that the commander send a telegram to Tong Linge immediately, asking him to investigate this matter thoroughly," Zhu Yupu said.

Liu Tianling said: "Okay, come here, send a telegram to Tong Linge immediately."

At this time the telegraph operator came in, "Report to the commander, Luoyang, Feng Yuxiang telegram,"

Liu Tianling took it over and took a look. It turned out that Tong Linge and Feng Yuxiang already knew about this matter. Feng Yuxiang was very angry and annoyed at this behavior of adjusting the relationship between the two armies. He decided to investigate this matter thoroughly and dispatched capable officers Conduct an investigation and order a satisfactory substantial offer within five days.

After Liu Tianling finished reading the telegram, he handed the telegram to Kang Jian Zhu Yupu and the others. After reading it, the two said, "Let's wait a few days and see Feng Yuxiang's investigation results."

Even so, Liu Tianling still ordered the western front to strengthen its vigilance. After all, anything could happen in the years of warlord melee. If we relax our vigilance, the ending may be very tragic.

After talking about these things, Kang Jian began to talk about the bandit suppression.

"This time the bandits were completely attacked on the ground. The machine gun installed under the belly of the aircraft has good attack performance. It can shoot when flying in a level flight. It has powerful firepower and a suppressive gun. It is generally thrown at an altitude of 800 meters. It has great damage to the ground, and after a total of eight ground attacks, the pilots have been trained and their spirits have been strengthened a lot," Kang Jian said.

Zhu Yupu was secretly shocked by the side. It turned out that Huawei had been displaying armored troops, but he did not expect that there were more than 100 fighter jets. This combat effectiveness can be described as very powerful. It seems that the move to join the National Defense Army was the right move.

"Well, ground attack is an important combat mission of the air force. There are few domestic air forces, and there are few opportunities to confront the air force. What really needs to be guarded against is little Japan," Liu Tianling sighed, "Their air force is very powerful. "

Kang Jian hesitated: "Why does the commander always treat Japan as a false enemy? I see that Japan is just a little bit small on the map."

"Haha, the size of a country can be judged. How big is Germany? Their strength is much stronger than ours. It's not enough to talk about the advantages of this battle,"

"There are many deficiencies. I asked the pilots participating in the battle to make a brief summary. The most important point is that the ground bombing is weak. The simple fortifications of the bandits are not bad. If it is the concrete fortifications repaired by the regular army, our [-]-kilogram aerial bombs are not good at all." It doesn't work," Kang Jian said.

"The Hornet fighter can't be improved. This fighter is cheap and has good maneuverability. Let's practice it. As for what you said about increasing the ammunition load and bombing firepower, that's the task of another fighter, that is, the bomber, etc. Wait, we'll have bombers in a year at the most,"

"Yes, I understand, I'll go back and continue to strengthen training," Kang Jian said.

"Wait," Liu Tianling called to stop Kang Jian.

"Pilots can only gradually mature when they perform missions. The Air Force is about to move and give you missions," Liu Tianling said.

"Okay, what's the mission,"

Liu Tianling opened the map: "Currently, the Air Force only has one airport in Yi County, but our control area is already very large, from Yanzhou in the north to Qingdao in the east, and the safety of the coast and sea requires security patrols."

"The commander-in-chief means to let the air force patrol," Kang Jian asked.

"Yes, airfields are set up in Yanzhou, Qingdao, and Rizhao. The local garrisons are responsible for the peripheral security, and provide services such as rest and refueling for the aircraft. It doesn't take too much. Ten aircraft are sent to conduct low-altitude patrols every day. If any problems are found, the ground troops will be notified by radio. Careful investigation, this is also a good way to prevent enemy infiltration,"

"Very good. I used to practice flying every day, so I can kill two birds with one stone. It's a good way to do it,"

"Okay, then go down and prepare, and finish the construction of the airstrip as soon as possible,"

Kang Jian left and arranged for people to build an airstrip and carry out patrol duties.

The 15 troops brought by Zhu Yupu were arranged in the Longya Mountain recruit training camp. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, each of them was paid three months of military pay before starting to accept the recruit training of the National Defense Army. Shuai was also really depressed. He had been singing and laughing all day long, but these days he became more serious. He personally delivered a speech at the recruiting office, recruiting young people from Shandong to join Fengjun. Coupled with the adapted local militia, the strength has reached [-]. A large number of rifles were mobilized from Fengtian Arsenal to equip soldiers. According to Fengjun's usual training method, only three months of training are needed, and these soldiers can become soldiers. Veterans available.

Generally speaking, Fengjun is full of talents and has many veterans. In terms of infantry training alone, it is stronger than the National Defense Army. After all, the National Defense Army has been established for too short a time.

Liu Tianling also presided over the recruit training camp for five days. Most of the soldiers have accepted the new training method, and the living conditions and military equipment of the National Defense Army are good, and everyone is generally satisfied.

Early in the morning, the sky was still gray and bright, the staff had just started work, Jia Cai, Zhu Yupu and others ran for a while, and just as they sat down, Liu Tianling arrived.

"The commander-in-chief is here, everyone greets,"

Liu Tianling said: "Zhu Yupu, the staff officers are new here, and they don't know many things about us. I took the staff officers to look around. Lao Jia is in charge of daily work at the base,"

Jia Cai said: "No problem, I am familiar with the process of recruit training, if there is any important matter, I will contact the commander-in-chief immediately.

Zhu Yupu was also very happy, after all, he was newly recruited and the commander-in-chief didn't deliberately hide anything.

Although he experienced the last assassination incident, Liu Tianling's traveling team is still very simple, led by two people, Chai Fei and Ye Feng, two open machine gun vehicles, two Linghu multi-functional anti-aircraft vehicles behind, and Liu Tianling's high-end off-road vehicle in the middle , A military truck is in the back, a team of no more than 50 people in total, mainly because the current situation is too chaotic.

Zhu Yupu is still very unaccustomed to this off-road vehicle, "I didn't expect that the sofa in the back seat of this car is so comfortable, and what's more rare is that I don't feel any bumps at all. I have never been willing to give up the car that was allocated to me. open it,"

"Haha, the staff officers are joking, let's first go to Linyi today to see Bi Shucheng, then go to Rizhao to check the work of the shipyard, and finally go to Qingdao to see the fleet," Liu Tianling introduced the formation.

When he came to Linyi, it was just past ten o'clock in the morning. Bi Shucheng was inspecting the work of the newly completed veterinary training class. It was somewhat embarrassing to see the old superior Zhu Yupu coming.

Linyi City is a newly established city with a large area, and the most important thing is poverty. Bi Shucheng has a big headache, but poor places also have the benefits of poor places, that is, it is easy to achieve political achievements, and the deployment of the installation section chief is the most important thing at present. The mission is to let the common people eat and stop being bandits because they are hungry, so the focus is on agriculture.

"Every work is okay. The amount of wheat sowing is relatively large. Improving development is just a few key points. Implementing it in Linyi is to ease rural security and clean up those thieves who steal cattle and sheep. Only in this way can we ensure everyone's well-being Enthusiasm for raising cattle and sheep. After all, cattle and sheep use less food. The second is to improve the varieties of wheat and corn. This is relatively difficult and can only be promoted slowly. The third is to increase the construction of water conservancy projects, mainly small irrigation reservoirs. "

Liu Tianling said with a smile: "Mayor Bi's ability to govern a city is more than enough. Let's implement various measures with confidence. The satisfaction of the people is the greatest affirmation for us."

At noon, Bi Shucheng hosted a banquet for Liu Tianling, Zhu Yupu and other people. After the meal, Liu Tianling took the people straight down to Rizhao and did not stay in Linyi too much.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Rizhao Military Shipbuilding, and the shipyard was heavily guarded. Even Liu Tianling checked carefully when he entered. Xu Haifeng and Chen Qiang were both there.

Liu Tianling, Zhuyu, Puchai, Feiyefeng and the others followed into the workshop on the sea.

The keels of the four medium-sized ships have been made, and the boatmen are busy in an orderly manner.

Xu Haifeng said: "These are four newly built destroyers with a displacement of 150 tons. They are all powered by steam engines. The main weapons are fish and artillery. However, this is the first batch of destroyers in our shipyard. There will definitely be Flaws, but the naval gun adopts the rapid-fire [-]mm naval gun provided by the arsenal, which can reach [-] rounds per minute, so that it has certain advantages in both air defense and ships."

Liu Tianling said with a smile: "I'm not urging you, the time can be slowed down a little bit, but the quality is guaranteed as much as possible. Build these four destroyers and build cruisers after accumulating experience."

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, everyone is very enthusiastic. As long as we work hard, we will succeed. We Chinese are no worse than foreigners," Xu Haifeng said.

Zhu Yupu was stunned and said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that our country can really build its own warships. It's really amazing. In terms of shipbuilding alone, we are better than Fengjun and Jiang Guangtou. Too much,"

"In our history, the Song and Ming dynasties were able to build large-scale sailing ships. The basics were not bad at first, but in modern times we stood still and let the great powers surpass us. Our shipyard also started from scratch, purchasing from foreign countries and researching and developing by ourselves. With such a large amount of equipment and thousands of skilled workers, and slowly accumulating for another year, it is basically considered mature, and now it can only be sprouted," Liu Tianling said with a sigh.

Xu Haifeng wanted to preside over the daily work of the shipyard, so he went to work on his own, leaving Chen Qiang to accompany Liu Tianling and others to visit the shipyard. Zhu Yupu saw all kinds of dragon horse cranes, automatic transportation assembly lines, and forklifts with big claws. with novelty.

Zhu Yupu couldn't help laughing and said: "I used to claim to be well-informed, but when I came to this factory and saw it, I became a fool."

"Looking at the world, we in China are already far behind. That's why we exchanged technology with the United States and Germany, hired foreign technicians, and more importantly, implemented compulsory five-year education so that the Chinese people have a culture, so that we can not be fools," Liu Tianling said.

Zhu Yupu sighed: "I think back then I failed the third exam of Baoding Army School because of my lack of education, and then I fell into the grass, and then I followed Zhang Dujun. The time is so fast. I became a 40-year-old old man in a flash. Although some people don't understand the compulsory education implemented by the commander-in-chief, and we interfere with family affairs, it will be of great benefit in the long run,"

Coming to the finished product area, Chen Qiang pointed to several small ironclad ships in the dock and said, "This is a maritime security ship that we produced according to the commander-in-chief's instructions, with a displacement of [-] tons."

Zhu Yupu said: "I think this boat is more than ten meters long and four meters wide. How about its combat effectiveness?"

"The combat effectiveness of this ship is mediocre. It is only equipped with a small [-]mm naval gun with a rate of fire of ten rounds per minute. The other is a heavy machine gun. This machine gun is the key point. The bullets are ready to charge, but this ship has enough power. Two Driven by a [-]-horsepower diesel engine, it can reach a speed of [-] knots, which is enough to fight against pirates and protect fishing boats," Chen Qiang explained.

"Understood, this is not for combat, but for cruising at sea. This armor can also frighten pirates. Besides, there should be no pirates nearby," Zhu Yupu said.

"Sea bandits are almost extinct. They are used by the Public Security Bureau to supervise fishery administration. Starting this year, fishing is not allowed on the sea from March to May, in order to allow fish to thrive," Liu Tianling explained. explain.

Naturally, Zhu Yupu couldn't think of protecting the fish, and of course he wouldn't object.

Liu Tianling pointed to the fishing boat and said: "All staff officers, let's go up together and try it out, go for a drive on the sea."

"Okay, I haven't built this kind of ironclad ship yet," Zhu Yupu said, and after everyone boarded the ship, Chen Qiang called some sailors over, drove the boat around the sea, and came back not long after. Well, there is no other reason, the fishing boat is too small, the turbulence is severe, and Zhu Yupu is spitting out of shape.
