Chapter 363 Sounding Rocket (1)
Li Zongren's attitude was so refreshing that Zhu Bin could not have imagined it at all. However, if he thought about it carefully, what he seemed to mention casually was a huge benefit in Comrade Li's opinion. If they seriously formed an alliance, it would make the veteran extremely distressed at once, and it would not be easy to deal with either.
Think about it, one is a veteran with fame, someone has a territory and someone has a gun; the other is a newly-resurgent with a good reputation, a territory and a fleet and a gun. The key is that this guy is very rich! The weight added together on both sides will definitely make the veterans sank, a good thing, a stroke of magic!
There was not even any written article as a sign. Li Zongren immediately told Chiang that I had no intention of robbing the presidential throne, and I pinched my nose and accepted it, but the territory was still mine. If I were so aggressive, I would be careful to turn against you completely! Comrade Xiao Zhu was watching from the side!
At the same time, in order to show sincerity, Li Zongren immediately drove away all the Japanese consultants and instructors in his team, and swore that he was absolutely purely anti-Japanese and had no other intentions or two hearts.
After asking about the advisory group and the staff, Zhu Bin also issued a statement urging the absurd dispute to end as soon as possible and concentrate on dealing with the national war that may break out at any time! If the two sides do not restrain themselves, they may not intervene!
In order to show that he was not joking, on July 4, Jiang Baili made a special trip to Nanjing as a representative to meet Lao Jiang in the villa of Xiaotangshan. Five years ago, the brothers from a family of brothers faced each other and drums.
First of all, Lao Jiang was so angry that he stared at Jiang Baili, who was so handsome and handsome that he was old, and he asked with a gloomy face. He asked with a strong voice: "Brother Baili. I could have entrusted important tasks before, so I asked to observe Zhu Hanchen's military situation. Today, Ji became his lobbyist. He said in turn to the central government, which is contrary to the principles of being a person!"
This is remarkable, and he is also not good at it! Old Jiang knew very well that Mr. Jiang Baili was a very proud and self-disciplined orthodox soldier. Although he was well-educated, he never liked military personnel to interfere in politics and even more disgusted with intrigue. Zhu Bin was so troubled that he would definitely not be able to stand it. Besides, he was also suspected of betraying the master!
But he forgot that just a few years ago, Chiang Baili was a staunch opposition. He was not interested in the people of his faction and was arrested by him. Although he has now been activated and even appointed as a senior advisor to the Military Commission, the loyalty he Chairman wanted was not. There was nothing at all. In Jiang Baili's heart, there was only the country!
Jiang Baili had long anticipated this, and smiled calmly with an elegant and calm smile, and said tepidly: "Chairman should know that the current situation is urgent. It is urgent to form a united front in the country against Japan. If it were not for the impact of natural disasters, the Sino-Japanese War had already begun. I think that some current party disputes can be put aside for the time being. The whole country will work together to fight against the Japanese invaders. When victory comes, as the head of state, you will make this great cause for thousands of years. Why are you afraid of others coveting it?"
If the Japanese could be beaten away, colonists from various countries were driven away, and China would be truly independent, Chairman Chiang would be recorded in history and become the first contribution to saving the country. This is an obvious thing.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jiang lost this confidence and grandeur, and was suspicious all day long. He was either afraid of assassination or the seize power. His hair on his head was so worried that he could have lost all his hair. How could he believe Jiang Baili's words?
Seeing that this man refused to accept the call, Chiang Kai-shek did not waste much effort and said clearly: "What are the conditions and intentions Zhu Hanchen has? Let's just talk about it."
Jiang Baili was even less in the mood to talk to him, so he spread some of Zhu Bin's conditions.
First, we must set up military bases and military ports in Hainan and build a series of industrial facilities. We have no interest in governing power and can accept officials appointed by the Central Committee, but we must not interfere in business operations and military operations.
Second, we borrowed the four places of Beihai, Hepu, Fangcheng and Qinzhou, one was to build a port, and the other was to build a shipyard and various factory terminals to transport mineral resources from Guangxi and Yunnan.
third…….
There are a lot of conditions listed, but the core points in the final analysis are not beyond Lao Jiang's tolerance. However, they all clearly write down everything they want, save the trouble and express the intention of mediating disputes.
Among these conditions, Zhu Bin used his territory, troops and influence to coerce Chiang for the first time like a group of orthodox warlords of this era. If he did not agree to my conditions, I would make trouble for him. I took the territory and wanted the benefits. He would either compromise or start a war. Anyway, I would not be afraid.
In terms of reputation, Zhu Bin's is better than Lao Chiang's. Although so far, the mainstream domestic ideology has regarded Lao Chiang as the only candidate to integrate domestic forces and unify the fight against the Japanese invaders, and even all walks of life call for donations to raise funds to celebrate Lao Chiang's birthday and buy hundreds of fighter jets as gifts, Zhu Bin is still the best in the anti-Japanese achievements. If this is why Zhu Bin expands so quickly and has the courage to grab territory, no one will say three to four.
After listening to it, Lao Jiang's face was not just bad, and he couldn't even express any expression. He was full of ghost fire in his eyes, and he looked straight at the terms on several sheets of paper for a long time and was speechless--these words were all Song-style characters made from Chinese printers, which were completely different from the handwritten documents of this era. It was cold and hard and full of the smell of official business, which made the veteran feel uncomfortable and became very angry at first glance!
After holding it in for a long time, the veteran finally said coldly: "Go back and tell Zhu Hanchen that he can do it."
Jiang Baili smiled faintly with a breeze blowing on his face, nodded and left. His demeanor was much better than the Chairman. But when he got outside, he shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart, national affairs are difficult! They are making troubles inside and outside, why is it so difficult to do some serious things with peace of mind?
The reason why he helped Zhu Bin was because this kid was doing good things that were beneficial to the country. He actually didn't agree with opening a military base in Hainan to engage in industry, because it was not deep enough and could easily be attacked by a powerful naval country, and the defense pressure would be great.
But Zhu Bin's well-founded words convinced him that this move was necessary, but it was necessary. Once China started a war, it would face all-round invasion. The south was in a slanted and chaotic for a long time, and it was infiltrated by the Japanese. Once the war started, it would definitely become one of the main directions of the attack. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely not care about his Southeast fiscal and taxation land. When he was broken through, he would sweep the south and be out of control!
Today, Zhu Bin is the only one who has strength and strength. With his strong navy and air force, he can at least restrain the Japanese army's considerable strength and is very strategically useful. This is one of them.
Secondly, China has a serious lack of strategic mineral resources. Rubber and iron ore all need to be imported. Once a war begins, it will inevitably be pinched, resulting in a weak successor. Hainan Island first has a huge high-quality iron ore, a huge titanium ore, and a crystal ore, which are key strategic resources. In addition, the climate here is extremely suitable for planting rubber and high-yield crops, and two million hectares of good land can be used to solve at least a considerable amount of self-sufficiency in resources.
Third, there are abundant natural gas minerals near Hainan. After mining, China's dependence on overseas oil can be greatly reduced, especially during wartime. Personally, he is not afraid that Chiang Kai-shek will make trouble and prevent Chongqing's oil and gas from advancing eastward.
These three things are worth his intervention. As for the space base and other things being too confidential, Zhu Bin has not disclosed it to people outside the core, and it is difficult for people at this time to understand, so he naturally refuses to say more.
In the final analysis, Zhu Bin was very patriotic and Jiang Baili could see it thoroughly, so he helped him.
With Zhu Bin intervening in this way, Li Zongren was familiar with his guns and used the force to offset the pressure of Chiang Kai-shek. Not only did he not lose any territory, he indirectly controlled the Beibu Gulf. He happily connected with Zhu Bin, and then concluded a series of agreements on mineral exchange weapons and loans and industrial facilities at a lightning speed. He also obtained a total of 72 task force-replaceable P-21a fighter jets in a regiment that were not used, followed by a large number of old German-made 105mm cannons and Bofors built 75mm field cannons and mountain cannons.
This battle cannot be fought. Chiang Kai-shek took advantage of the situation and ended in a stalemate for less than half a month. The sensational "Tongyang and Guangxi Incident" all parties dispatched nearly 900,000 troops, and the ending without a single shot was ridiculous!
On the other hand, the fast-working engineering corps built the foundation of the aerospace base in just one month, and first established a 20-meter-high building, fort, military base, air defense base, etc., and then rushed to transport a sounding rocket with a diameter of 550mm and a length of 10.6 meters. After repeated inspections and debugging, it finally came to the critical moment to let go of the experiment.
On August 15, the weather was sunny, with only a slight cool breeze in the morning, and the sky was boundless, and even clouds were rare. The observation ships and ground observation stations set up near the sea were all deployed. An airship rose to three thousand meters to stabilize its shape, and two four-engine large transport aircraft equipped with complex electronic equipment climbed to a height of 10,000 meters and slowly flew around. Everything was ready.
Almost all members of the Rocket Propulsion Laboratory, including Tesla, were crowded in the temporary launch center, staring at hundreds of fourteen-inch displays without blinking. In the center, the young Feng Braun trembled slightly excitedly, and at the same time, he was a little nervous, looking up at Zhu Bin, who was standing not far away from time to time.
The time points to 6:23 am. Wang Lishan came in from outside, and Zhu Bin whispered: "Have the surrounding guards been arranged?"
Wang Lishan nodded calmly: "All deployments have been completed, and there are no suspicious people within a radius of 50 kilometers."
"Okay." Zhu Bin turned around and signaled to Shu Xingbei, the Chinese leader of the design team, to "Start!"
Shu Xingbei is still very popular, and he doesn't care much about the rules. He is not polite at the moment. He turned around and shouted at Ye Qisun and Feng Braun: "All departments should pay attention to the countdown to the launch of the 'S1 sounding rocket', officially begin!"
