From to 1935 2020

"Runshi, although you are also from a rich peasant, you have experienced a lot of hardships in the past ten years... and Xiao Huang, he has missed many lessons in his life!"

Li Runshi and Wu Hao, one of them talked and the other concluded.As the two top people in China in this era, one is the one who sees the farthest, and the other is the one who has the strongest execution ability. Once they communicate, they can understand where Huang Ke's problems are and how to deal with them.

"There are some pains that he has to go through. And there are some lessons that he has to make up. After coming to this era, he started from a very high starting point and got higher and higher. This is not a good thing. Even if They are future people from the lower reaches of history. If they only look at the sky and not their feet, and cannot hear the voices from the bottom, one day, they will fall too hard......"

Wu Hao nodded.

"After going to the Soviet Union, I will explain it to Comrade Stalin. You can't just use him as a senior scientific researcher, but also drive him to the bottom, get in touch with the working class more, experience their lives more, and listen to them the sound of."

Li Runshi nodded and said: "The Communist Party claims to be the vanguard of the revolution, and the vanguard itself has a taste of elitism, but these elites are actually countless ordinary people who have experienced suffering, blood and death, and the difficult revolutionary process After the elimination, the gold that is filtered out. It is different in the peaceful age, there is no death, no reactionaries, and not enough suffering and filtering. At this time, who can become the elite who call themselves the "revolutionary vanguard"?"

Wu Hao nodded.

"Elite ideology is the soil for separation from the masses and inheritance of blood power!"

"In fact, this is not only his problem, but also a problem that all of us Communist Party members need to face when training the next generation of successors after the victory of the revolution. The idea of ​​elitism is unacceptable!"

"Xiao Huang's psychological problem is here. When he went to the Soviet Union, Stalin would definitely treat him as a guest of honor. This is not good, very bad. This requires you to supervise and guide him."

Li Runshi finally said: "The Dou Victory Buddha in Da Leiyin Temple is a Buddha on the surface, but in fact it is just a dog. The Monkey King among the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain is the real Monkey King!"

After deliberation and consultation with the top Red Army officials, after asking for Huang Ke's opinion, they have decided to let him go to the Soviet Union to meet with Stalin in mid-November.

At the beginning of November, a Soviet cargo ship unloaded at Tanggu Port and put down a large amount of arms transferred by the Soviet Union. When it left the port, hundreds of Chinese were on board.According to the secret agreement between Li Runshi and Stalin, the Red Army sent another group of "labor trainees" to the Soviet Union. These people will work and study in Soviet factories and schools.

On November [-]th, Huang Ke and Wu Hao took a special plane through Xinjiang, entered the Soviet Union from West Asia, and then met Stalin in Moscow.

-------------------- Chapter 189 The furthest distance in the world --------------------

The designer of the famous Soviet trainer PO2 is named Yakovlev.

After 1935, after designing the highly acclaimed aircraft "Air-6" and "PO-2", Yakovlev became obsessed with the design of racing aircraft until the summer of 1939, He just received the request to design a new type of aircraft, and in less than a year, he developed the best fighter jet in active service of the Soviet Red Army when the Soviet-German War broke out, the Yak 1 fighter jet.

Different from other flight designers, when the "famous planes" of various countries launched improved new models during World War II, they all relied on increasing the horsepower of the engine to improve performance. By 1944, in the European battlefield, Fighter engines were ashamed to speak without 1500 horsepower. By 1945, monsters with more than 2000 horsepower were flying all over the battlefield in Western Europe.

The great thing about Yakovlev is that the Yak fighter he designed, especially the famous Yak 3 fighter, uses a 1250 horsepower engine-that is, it is equivalent to the BF109F fighter engine.

And this Yak 3 fighter, even in 1945 among a group of 2000-horsepower monsters, was not outdated. It was called by military fans of later generations: the king of 3000-meter air combat, nicknamed: low-altitude rogue fighter.

It was the fighter with the highest air superiority performance of the Soviet Union in the late World War II, and the only Soviet fighter that could suppress the German Bf 109F/G.As soon as it appeared, the results were astonishing. During World War II, there were 109 Bf 24s, and a total of 5000 ([-]) enemy planes were shot down without any losses for the team.At that time, Germany circulated an exhortation to "avoid fighting with Yak fighters with no oil cooler in the nose below [-] meters".

During World War II, except for Japan, the aircraft designers of the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany basically followed the route of "adding more water to the surface and adding more water to the surface" when improving the performance of the aircraft. It gets worse and worse, the wing load is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it is the way for the bricks to fly into the sky.

But Yakovlev is different from them. His thinking in this regard is the same as that of the Mustang H-type: through more sophisticated "calculations", without changing the engine, reduce the wing area, and strive to give the body structure Reduce weight, improve aerodynamics and other methods to improve the performance of the aircraft, and finally designed the Yak [-], the most famous "[-]-meter low-altitude hooligan" on the Eastern Front.

In October, the aviation design bureau of the entire Soviet Union was turned upside down by a piece of confidential information that was said to have come from Germany.

During this period, the aircraft design bureaus of the Soviet Union, the MiG Design Bureau, the Tupolev Design Bureau, the Polikarpov Design Bureau and the Yakovlev Design Bureau, all the aircraft design masters, following Stalin's order, All are brought together to interpret a mysterious aviation design information.

In 109, he had just developed the I[-] fighter jet, and thought he had reached the forefront of the world's aviation technology. The Soviet aircraft design masters saw the flight data packets of the three World War II aircraft, the Spitfire and the BF[-] Mustang provided by Huang Ke, as well as the data packets of later generations. After summarizing the aerodynamic data of piston fighters, all of them gave birth to: what I have learned in my life, I have learned from dogs, and my "self-confidence" has been severely shattered.

The biggest psychological blow to Soviet aircraft designers was the flight data of the British Hurricane fighter jets already in service. Compared with the Hurricane, the I16 is simply rubbish.

And at the beginning of November, as four Type 11 fighter jets passed through the air transfer and were secretly transported to the Soviet Union, the Soviet ground support, which had been prepared for a long time, used a 700-horsepower Bristol engine imported from the United Kingdom according to someone's request. Replaced the 580 hp Shou Nakajima 2 engine.

At the end of November, after the test pilots drove the remodeled and upgraded Type 16 fighter jets to conduct a simulated air combat with the I[-] fighter jets that the Soviets were most proud of, Polikarpov immediately withered like a frost-beaten eggplant.

(Note: The final version of Type 96, the 700-horsepower Nakajima Kotoshi 41 engine, is actually the Japanese authorized version of the British Bristol 700-horsepower engine. Because of the gap in craftsmanship, the performance of the British engine is actually better.

In addition: According to the experience of Zhang Gufeng and Nuomenkan air combat, the I16 and Mitsubishi 96 monoplanes are comparable in actual combat, but this 1936 uses the final improved and enhanced British engine, and its performance is on the contrary that of the 16 version of the I[-] superior. )

When the confidence of all Soviet designers was greatly frustrated, the people of the GRU came up with more information: a variety of design materials and related flight bags that will be equipped with Britain, Germany, the United States, and even the Soviet Union's own "famous aircraft" in the future line data.

Then Stalin gave an order and asked the people in the aviation department to immediately start developing fighter jets with about 1200 horsepower and a flying speed of more than 600 kilometers based on these confidential materials.

The aviation department of the entire Soviet Union was immediately overwhelmed by this instruction.

Why?

In 1936, only the United Kingdom could produce a 1000-horsepower liquid-cooled aero engine in the world, and it would not be until next year that the United States would develop the same 1000-horsepower engine.And the Soviet Union in this period - they can barely come up with a liquid-cooled engine with 800 horsepower.

At that time, whether it was Lavochkin or Mikoyan, or Yakovlev or Polikarpov, they all felt as if they were going to Lubyanka for tea...

"A fighter jet with a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour? My God! At this point in time, the fastest fighter jet in the world is 450 kilometers per hour. Well, no, the British Hurricane fighter jet has already flown at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour."

Fortunately, this time, Stalin was guided by an "expert" and he took out the flight design sketches of the future "MiG 3", "Jacques 1", "Jacques 3", "La 5FN" and other fighter jets. drawing, asking them to directly refer to the architecture of these aircraft and design the aircraft based on it.

"Four years! I'll give you four years! At this time four years later, you can deliver a mature product."

As far as aircraft design is concerned, the 4-year design cycle is indeed quite generous.

What happened afterwards was that the people from the Mikoyan Design Bureau were holding the design sketches of the "MiG-3" they would develop in the future, Lavochkin was staring at the design sketches of La5FN in a daze, and Yakovlev was personally handed over by Stalin. Called, got the largest number of drawings and materials: design sketches of Jacques 1 and Jacques 3 fighter jets.

"Do it well, Comrade Yakov, the motherland needs your Yak fighters! You have four years to perfect them, and don't let the Soviets down."

Yakovlev and Lavochkin found that Stalin looked at them both with eyes of admiration, especially Yakovlev, which was full of trust and appreciation.He made promises and encouragement to the two of them, and told them what they lack and what they want, just open your mouth...

During the Great Purge, Comrade Stalin spoke in such a "friendly manner", which was actually very scary...

As for the Ilyushin Design Bureau (Sergey Ilyushin was established on January 1933, 1), the designer Ilyushin got the sketch of the IL13 attack aircraft and began to study the single-engine attack aircraft.

Stalin told them that although the new type of engine is not yet available, the "shell" can be manufactured first, and it is enough to reserve the amount in advance.

In this process, it seems that the people of the Polikarpov Design Bureau are the most relaxed.They received instructions to improve the I15 fighter jet based on the drawing provided by a mysterious person to solve its poor spin out of control problem. In fact, the I15's spin out of control problem had already been discovered by the Soviet Air Force at this time. Yes, the design department has long since found a solution, but it was not resolved until the final improved I153 appeared. (It is said that the reason is that the people in the production department refused to improve because they were worried that changing the design would affect the output. In short, it is also a nonsense reason. In fact, the Soviet Red Army’s armament development before World War II was full of bullshit, and there were countless wastes.)

After Stalin learned about this problem from Huang Ke, he immediately sent people down to investigate and investigate the relevant responsible persons—someone must be going to Lubyanka for tea.

Compared with other flight design bureaus that have four-year limited missions, as the designer of the main fighter I16 in active service in the Soviet Union, Polikarpov Design Bureau has nothing to do with ease, which is definitely not a good thing.

On the same day, after Stalin issued the task indicators, Polikarpov stood in front of Stalin with some fear and asked himself what other design tasks he had.

Stalin thought for a while and gave Polikarpov a new task.

"After the I15 has been improved, your task is to design a low-altitude, low-speed, high-performance ground attack aircraft similar to the German HS123 based on it. The task requirement is that it can take off from any grassland, and novice pilots can Driving, low cost, easy to operate, attack aircraft that can be "flyed by fools."

After Stalin gave this order, he left, leaving only Polikarpov standing there with a pale face. He clearly felt that he had fallen out of favor in front of Stalin.

Note: Polikarpov was the master of early Soviet destroyer design, but he was also a "tear of the times". After the I16 fighter jet, the aircraft he developed continued to fail and killed many test pilots.During the entire Soviet-German War, he did nothing, and this person died early in 1944 because of the huge pressure.

Stalin was a realist.

It has been nearly a month since Huang Ke came to the Soviet Union. During this time, Huang Ke wrote a bunch of column articles about the various main weapons developed by the Soviet Union during World War II and their performance after serving in service, and showed them to Stalin. What is classic and what is Pit goods, what is garbage, is clear at a glance.

Therefore, the design bureau that developed the Il-2 attack aircraft, the Yak fighter, and the La series fighter was treated differently by Stalin and took special care of it.

Although the MiG-3 fighter of the Mikoyan Design Bureau is not suitable for air combat on the Eastern Front because of its high-altitude high-performance and low-altitude low-performance characteristics, Huang Ke told Stalin that this kind of high-altitude high-performance fighter is needed to deal with the B[-] sea, so it is also Appreciated.

And the Polikarpov Design Bureau, which did nothing during the entire Soviet-German War, received a cold reception because of the appearance of the traversers.The task received is only to develop the I153, and there is also the "disgraceful task" of improving it into an attack aircraft. Correspondingly, the research and development funds it will receive in the future will inevitably be greatly reduced.

When Polikarpov left somewhat dejectedly, Huang Ke who was following Stalin said in Russian:

"He is the tear of the times. He is a design master of biplanes, but he is really not good at monoplanes. I suggest that when the time is right, let him switch to the development of transport aircraft."

Today, Stalin convened a meeting of leaders from various aviation design departments of the Soviet Union to set out tasks. Huang Ke and Elena also had the honor to follow as "observers".Huang Ke's Russian proficiency has improved very fast. He has been able to communicate with people in Russian relatively smoothly within less than a month since he came to Russia.When he was talking to Stalin, he needed Elena's translation only occasionally.

"You mean the An-2 transport plane? It's a good idea. I can give him another chance. I hope he can figure it out, but he can't stop Antonov's growth."

Stalin glanced at Huang Ke, then at Elena beside him, and said to the two of them meaningfully: "You both are people who can do things, but doing things is different from employing people. The biggest problem in the Soviet Union is that many Old comrades, who have not kept up with the times, still rely on their seniority to hold important positions, and hinder the growth of more promising and capable fresh blood!"

Huang Ke nodded and said, "We Chinese call this kind of people 'Xueban'."

Stalin snorted coldly: "Whether it is the army or scientific research departments, they are full of these outdated 'experts'. They can't keep up with the times, but they are still stuck in the glory of the past, refusing to give way and suppressing outstanding newcomers... ...."

"That's why we need a big purge to cut them off like tumors!"

"That's what happened!"

"But if you do this, it's easy to accidentally injure innocent people, and many bad guys will take the opportunity to carry private goods to do their own affairs..."

"Of course I know, but it won't work. Those who do private work will have to be punished afterwards! In this world, there is no perfect way to cure diseases. If you want to gain something, you have to lose something."

Standing by the window, Stalin looked at the head of the aviation design bureau who was leaving, and said to the couple in the room:

"I am luckier than the other Stalin because you have brought me the information of later generations, so that I can perform surgery on the Soviet more accurately, reduce a large number of accidental injuries, and better handle the allocation of resources. The climax of the Chinese revolution The early arrival also allowed me to find a place where I can send out these 'outdated' old things and play their correct role."

The month after Huang Ke came to the Soviet Union can be said to be the busiest month for Huang Ke, big and small. Stalin paid the most attention not only to the development of weapons, but also to the problem of "accidental injury" in the great purge.With the help of Rhubarb, Stalin got a list of many "accidentally injured" and "rescuable" people, and pardoned many people.In addition, the existence of China allowed Stalin to drive a large number of "outdated academics" to China to play their residual heat. In this period, China actually liked this kind of "outdated old experts" the most.

Stalin and Huang Ke said these words, not only for Huang Ke, but also for Elena next to him.

He has regarded Elena as his "successor", and now he is actually teaching her how to deal with the internal affairs of the Soviet Union.In another two months, he will put Elena in a suitable position, let her understand the operation of the Soviet bureaucracy step by step through personal experience, and slowly begin to train her.

"The Soviet Union, to be precise, the Russian society, has big problems!"

Stalin said to Elena:

"The group of people below need whips, bayonets and gallows to persecute them, so that they can work seriously. Otherwise, as long as they relax a little, they will degenerate at a speed that neither you nor I can imagine."

At this time, Huang Ke bid farewell to Stalin. He still had work at night.

After Huang Ke came to the Soviet Union, he filled up his daily schedule.Following Stalin to attend the meeting, he was only temporarily called as a staff officer, but this delayed his plan for today.

After Huang Ke left, Stalin said to Elena: "You have a deep influence on him. This is the magic of love! He has worked so hard for you that even I admire him."

Eileen lowered her head and sighed: "He used to be a bit lazy. But now the harder he works, the farther away he will be from me in the future."

"It seems that you also understand. You still have ten years to enjoy the joy of love. As for the future..."

Elena said:

"Ten years is a lot. If you want to get something, you have to give something. The position of general secretary is lonely, and he will understand this in the future."

If Huang Ke was just an "ordinary person", Elena might still have a chance to marry him, a Chinese.

But Huang Ke is not. He is also the person who is favored by Li Runshi. In the future, he will sit in the "first three rows", or even the first row. This is already a certainty.

And Elena's situation is the same. In the future, she will be a big shot sitting in the middle of the first row in the Soviet Union.

From a political point of view and the psychology of the people, it is impossible for the Soviets to accept the supreme leader marrying a foreigner.

Ten years later, as Elena's status in the Soviet Party became higher and higher, her relationship with Huang Ke had to be properly "isolated".

It is not in the interests of China and the Soviet Union for the two to be completely alienated, and it is even more unacceptable if they get too close.It is best to stay away from each other.But this kind of relationship is the cruelest torture for a man and a woman who love each other.

Huang Ke has not realized this yet, but Elena has already realized it first.

Stalin looked out the window. Huang Ke had already boarded a car and was being driven to a nearby machinery factory—this was the task he had missed today: participating in the manufacture of industrial master machines.

Compared with this world, Huang Ke has two major advantages: one is the knowledge of time and space, and the other is that he has the hands of the most dexterous mechanic in the world.

"God shepherds all living beings, and regards all living beings as the enemy, but at least there are a large group of lackeys attached to him as companions. But Li Runshi and I are enemies with the comrades attached to us, and we beat them with whips , threatened them with bayonets, warned them with the gallows, and forced them to work hard and do things well. If you don’t force them, you can’t relax. If you force them, it will be the end of Li Runshi and me in the end. Stalin’s appointment, There is no guarantee that you will become the next General Secretary of the Soviet Union. Political tactics, the division and distribution of interests, and the negative backlash of everything I did during my lifetime, you will have to bear and face it in the future! In order to promote your growth , I will throw you in the right place, torture you with all kinds of suffering, and let you experience all kinds of intrigues and tricks between people..."

"Understood! A sapling that has not been polished by wind, frost, rain and snow cannot grow into a big tree."

Elena nodded, expressing her understanding.Like Huang Ke, when she came to this world, she lost all arrogance after seeing the methods of the two top figures in the red regime.

Knowing how to do things and being able to employ people are actually two completely different things. Elena knows that she still has a lot to learn.

Elena stood at the window, watching Huang Ke's car go away.
