The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 365 Everything is ready (final chapter of this volume)

However, how could Zhu Jiaren understand the helicopter in Wu Aihua's mind. "Hummingbird Type 1", in Wu Aihua's view, is only suitable for civil or security helicopters, short-distance transportation, emergency rescue, ambulance, disaster relief, hoisting equipment, forest protection and fire fighting, geological exploration, aerial photography, etc. for civilian use; Used for border patrol, city patrol, chasing fugitives, etc.

"Hummingbird Type 1" can also be used in the military, but its survivability is quite fragile. As long as the opponent has anti-aircraft guns or anti-aircraft machine guns, or the army is prepared, the possibility of being shot down is as high as 90.00%.This is why after entering the 50s, a professional armed helicopter variety was born.

After the "Hummingbird Type 1" came out, Wu Aihua ordered Zhu Jiaren to continue to improve its performance, and at the same time ordered to solve the mystery of more advanced helicopter design technology. At this time, Zhu Jiaren was really convinced!It turned out that the National Defense Forces had already had more advanced helicopter technology. Zhu Jiaren knew that this kind of helicopter was a big killer on the battlefield just from the description of its performance and use. Invested in the research and design of new models.

However, helicopter experts are not necessarily power experts. Fortunately, the research department in charge of Ha Bingqing, the chief expert of machinery manufacturing technology of the National Technology Bureau, quickly developed a "turboshaft engine" suitable for the "Falcon" series of helicopters, which solved the problem. a problem.

In China in 1940, in addition to these relatively outstanding achievements, various undertakings were also developing at a very high speed.

根据武爱华入主中枢后制定的《教育发展规划（1939-1941）》，到1940年底，就基本完成了“平均每5000名民众就享有1所初等小就校（学生规模不低于350人）”的计划，全国初等小学校的规模达到了超记录的8万所，适龄儿童入学率从最初的1937年底的15%（闽粤两省将全国的数字拉高了）上升到55%，女童的入学率从2%上升到了22%；在当前或今后一个时期，女童入学率将是初等教育的重点。

Correspondingly, the number of primary and higher schools nationwide has also reached 2.Completed the rigid tasks stipulated in the "Planning" one year ahead of schedule.However, the development of junior high school, high school and vocational education schools is relatively slow, not because of money, but because of the lack of teachers.

The task of "constructing 20 comprehensive universities nationwide and building and rebuilding 100 specialized colleges" has also been completed ahead of schedule. Sixty percent of colleges were underrepresented, and of course only 8000 percent were underrepresented after the fall of 3000.

The "Transportation Development Plan" is a project that the New Republic of China and Wu Aihua attach great importance to. If this plan cannot be completed, there may be serious consequences in the following wars that the supply cannot keep up. This is why Wu Aihua specially went to Baocheng Railway The reason for the construction site.

The three-year plan for railway construction is "one stroke, one stroke, three verticals and four horizontals".

Let me talk about "Yi Na" first, that is, the planned Beijing (Nanjing) Kazakhstan (Shi) Railway, all sections west of Lanzhou have been fully opened to traffic, only Lanzhou to Dihua is estimated to be fully open to traffic until September 1941.

The second time I said "one skim", that is, the "Harbin Railway" from Harbin in the northeast to Kunming in the southwest, not to mention the Northeast. At present, only the Baocheng Section and the Chengkun Section have not been completed. The Baocheng Railway has basically been completed. The estimated opening time is June 1941, and the opening time of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway is normally after June 6.

For other railway projects, the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway has been opened to traffic, the coastal railway is only left to Kunming, the Shanghai-Chengdu Railway is connected at both ends, and only the Three Gorges section is left. In short, before the end of 1941, except for the section from Chengdu to Kunming, all other road construction tasks can be done Finish.

For highway construction, the central government is mainly responsible for the construction of high-grade highways between provinces and between major cities. As for highways below the second grade, the provinces preside over the construction. The planning tasks are completely consistent with the completion schedule, and some projects are slightly ahead of schedule. .

By the end of 1940, the mileage of national railways had reached 4.57 kilometers, the mileage of highways above Class II had reached 1.29 kilometers, and the total mileage reached 11.37 kilometers.These three numbers, the railway is close to the number of the later China in 1977, and it will definitely break through next year; the roads above the second level are standard roads with all cement or asphalt roads. Before 1977 in the later generations, except for big cities, almost There is no more than 1-kilometer secondary standard highway (at that time, was this standard introduced?), as for the total mileage open to traffic, it is close to the figure in 1952.

The development speed of water transportation is better than planned. The port and wharf reconstruction in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Shantou, Nanjing, Wuhu, Yantai and other places is progressing smoothly. Except that the warships are built by Xiamen, Fuzhou and Shantou. Hundreds of private shipyards have sprung up along the coast and along the river, capable of building freighters and passenger ships over 1000 tons. In 1940 alone, the launching tonnage reached 22.3 tons.As for the development of Yangtze River Shipping and Offshore Intercity Shipping, after the clearing of waterways and the setting of navigation marks have been preliminarily completed, 55% of the transportation tasks of passenger and cargo transportation on the Northeast half wall have been taken up.

The development situation of the aviation industry is also gratifying, because most of the airports are used for both military and civilian purposes (referring to large and medium-sized cities, border defense airports and airports specially stationed by the Air Force are not included), and they can form a joint force in terms of construction funds. Therefore, in more than two years, the planned All the large airports in China have been built ahead of schedule. In 1940, the civil aviation sector alone carried 291 million passengers and 571 million tons of cargo.

For air freight, one is urgent mail, the other is high value-added goods, or military products regardless of cost. Wu Aihua is still very clear about this.

In terms of economic construction, coal power represented by Shanxi Coal Energy Group developed very rapidly. In 1940, the country produced 2437 million tons of commercial coal (including Fujian and Guangdong), which was 1937 times that of 5.5; the installed capacity of power generation (total) was 226.33 1937 kilowatts, which is 5.7 times that of 519; the national production of steel is 1937 million tons, which is 15 times that of [-]...

In addition, other major industrial products are 3300 million tons of cement, 58300 cars, 87600 trucks, 89900 sets (sets) of various power machinery (engines), 4500 aircraft, 3800 tanks, 45.3 tons of ships, kerosene 79 tons, more than 75 guns with a caliber above 3800mm, and 2.77 tons of various ammunition (very fast development)...

There are 50 enterprises above designated size (3.86 Chinese yuan), including 1000 large backbone enterprises (633 million Chinese yuan or more), with a total import and export trade volume of 286 billion US dollars, a trade surplus of 33 billion US dollars, and a national GDP of 210.66 billion US dollars ( About one-third of Japan’s), the fiscal revenue was 67 billion Chinese yuan; the year’s expenditure was 226 billion Chinese yuan, including 12 billion yuan for public affairs, 145 billion yuan for infrastructure investment, 59 billion yuan for social undertakings, and 10 billion yuan for other expenses , while military spending was not planned.

At the end of 1940, the country had 1800 million industrial workers (a considerable number of them were unqualified), 1300 million various commercial service personnel, and the proportion of non-agricultural population was 25%.

In 1938, there were 1.8 million people in "extreme poverty" (no land and no formal housing in rural areas, no jobs and no housing in cities), which dropped to 1939 million in 1.3 and 1940 million in 0.8.Because China is engaged in construction everywhere, railway construction, road and bridge construction, construction industry employment, urban labor employment, etc., a large number of unemployed people have entered these sectors, and with a fixed income, the population of extreme poverty has been reduced sharply.

At the end of 1940, the national field army, air force and navy had 120 marine divisions, 38 "independent army group" divisions (including 15 cavalry divisions, 9 armored divisions, 9 artillery divisions, and 5 experimental divisions), 10 Air Force divisions, 4 offshore fleets, sea, land and air force series combat and non-combat personnel (excluding production and research personnel, excluding local and garrison and coast guard soldiers) reached 435 million.

全军装备230mm重型榴弹炮1440门，150mm加农炮2592门，105mm榴弹炮12600门，“龙焰2型”100毫米24管火箭炮2688门（辆），20mm口径以上高射炮4500余门，“t-36”坦克4320辆（t-48还没装备），“t-24”坦克5184辆、“t-12”5760辆。

The Air Force has 6144 combat aircraft of various types, the Navy has 10600 light aircraft carriers (15000-4 tons), 37800 battleships (45000-8 tons), 8 heavy cruisers, 16 light cruisers, 32 destroyers, and 8 tons 48 super-class ships, 100 ​​troop carriers of various types, more than 1 frigates and minesweepers, 64 "Monster Dragon 1" submarines, 128 "Youlong 120" submarines, and more than 1200 naval carrier-based aircraft. There are more than 4 shore-based aircraft, and 10 people in 12 divisions of the Marine Corps.The total number of various types of personnel in the Air Force is 15 (including logistics supplies), and the total number of naval combat personnel has reached an astonishing [-].

So, what is the strength of other countries in the same period?

The United Kingdom ranks first in the navy (the other is the United States), with 8 medium-sized and above aircraft carriers, 12 battleships (5 others are under construction), 3 battlecruisers, 18 heavy cruisers, and 58 light cruisers (Another 20 are under construction), 57 submarines of various types (this item is far inferior to China), and in terms of combat aircraft, the total number of aircraft at the time of war with Germany was only more than 3000. However, the production capacity of the United Kingdom is very strong. During the war, at least 5000 combat aircraft of various types were assisted to Soviet Russia.As for the British Army, when the war started, its total number was less than 100 million (excluding Australia and India).

Germany, before invading the Soviet Union in June 1941, had 6 million soldiers, 550 tanks, 4300 combat aircraft, and 4980 combat ships; while Soviet Russia had 190 million troops, 537.2 new tanks, and more than 1750 old tanks ; 10000 guns, but there are many problems; 3.75 new aircraft.

The United States had only an army of 10 before the war, and its navy and air force were comparable to those of the United Kingdom.However, the United States has great potential for war. By the end of World War II, the number of the US Army had reached 1050 million, and dozens of aircraft carriers at sea. Regardless of sea, land or air, it is a well-deserved number one military in the world.
