The next day, it dawned very early. Zhang Shusheng got up after the rooster crowed. After he entered the secret room and worked for two hours, there was a knock on the door outside. When he opened the door, he saw Lu Yunyan standing there wearing a skirt.

"Let's go, after breakfast, we will take your cousin to see one of the gifts I prepared for them." Although Lu Yunyan is too shy and has not slept with him yet, she has a habit of doing it every day.

In the morning, she must be neatly dressed and the most beautifully dressed person will knock on the door to wake her up. In her words, every morning, Zhang Shusheng must let Zhang Shusheng see the most beautiful version of herself.

It's a pity that Zhang Shusheng has the habit of getting up early, otherwise he would have stayed in bed and let her lift the quilt.

After breakfast, Zhang Shusheng took the Lu family into the No. 2 special car in Dongchuan District. Unlike the No. 1 special car, which represents Zhang Shusheng’s highest status and is used for formal occasions, the No. 2 special car with a red license plate is for Zhang Shusheng’s daily use.[

The convoy soon left Lishuping and drove toward the mountains along a well-built road. Half an hour later, the convoy finally stopped in front of a huge military base.

There are many shallow hills and hills around Lishuping, but this military base is relatively flat, and it is surrounded by vast plains. When the site was selected to build this large base, the experts from the engineering team also put a lot of thought into it.

After searching for more than ten miles, we found such a very large open space.

Walls and barbed wire isolate the entire military base from the outside world. Over the wall, you can see some tall buildings standing inside. The gate of the base is so large that four or five trucks can drive side by side.

"salute!!"

There were already many people standing at the entrance of the base, including the base's highest officer, who had been waiting there for a long time. After receiving a notice from the militia headquarters that the division commander was coming to inspect the base, everyone ran out without breakfast and waited.

It’s on.

"Reporting to the division commander, base commander Lieutenant Colonel Fan Siran and commanders and fighters at all levels of the base are reporting to you."

"Let's check the documents first." Zhang Shusheng pointed to his group and said. Although as the spiritual leader of the militia and as the supreme commander, he has the only immunity within the militia system, he still insists on starting with himself and everyone.

Entry and exit of important military bases, regardless of position, must be based on ID. The confidentiality level of the base in front of you requires pre-authorization from the militia headquarters. Otherwise, even if Wu Tiejun, deputy division commander of the militia, comes, he will not be able to enter.

This gate.

Fan Siran personally checked the documents of Zhang Shusheng and Lu Yunyan, as well as the certificates issued by the vigilante group headquarters of the two brothers and sisters Lu Bingwen.

"Report to the teacher, the inspection is complete." Fan Siran put his legs together and saluted.

"Let's go. The weather is nice today. How are you doing with the preparations?"

"Everything is ready, just waiting for you to arrive, Commander. Experts and pilots are waiting on the runway." Although Fan Siran often sees Zhang Shusheng, every time he sees this unserious top officer, he

Everyone has a kind of fear and admiration for him. This teacher can not only scold everyone with a straight face, but also objectively praise progress. He can also put aside his body to participate in scientific research and endure hardships and struggles with everyone.

It turns out that Zhang Shusheng came to inspect the test flight of the aircraft today.

However, because Zhang Shusheng brought a special guest today, the base commander Fan Siran did not repeat the detailed parameters of this aircraft. He also knew that the division commander probably knew these data better than he did. If he said it himself, he would be suspected of leaking the secrets. Division Commander

It is beyond your control whether you say it or not.

The history of aircraft development by militias can be traced back to 1918. In the first five-year plan, solving aircraft problems was listed as a priority development project at the same time as internal combustion engines, preliminary electronics industry, precision factories, etc.

Because there are returned scholars and foreign experts who have been recalled with high salaries, as well as several aviation experts recruited from Germany by Zhang Shusheng, it can be said that the flying career of the militia has started very smoothly. Within half a year, it has been equipped with imported engines.

A biplane made of canvas and wood took to the sky.

However, it is easy to start but difficult to develop.

From the first biplane that took to the skies to the successful development of this single-wing, metal-skinned aircraft with a new high-horsepower engine in mid-1923, we experienced too many difficulties during this period. Almost every aviation research institute’s first

Scholars from the same institute and technicians from the aircraft factory can all recount the difficulties they have encountered. Not to mention anything else, the plane fell several times. Fortunately, it was at a low altitude and no one was injured.

The reason is simple! For the militia, the manufacturing of aircraft is completely from scratch.

From the beginning, there were only a dozen aircraft research teams composed of experts and students from technical schools. In the following years, the aerodynamics, aircraft power engineering, materials science, and structural sciences of Southwest University and Xiaoqingshan Advanced Technical School,

Outstanding graduates in physics, mathematics and other majors have entered various key research institutes in batches, as well as overseas students returning to China and patriotic overseas Chinese recruited. Although they are not necessarily the best, many are even completely incompetent at first.

When it comes to R&D work, the only thing they know is what’s in books.[

But after five years of bumping into each other, these immature young people gradually matured under the leadership of their seniors.

What I have to mention here is a young man named Feng Ruhai.

This young scholar, who is only one more character than his predecessor Feng Ru, was born as an orphan and possesses an amazing talent for aircraft design. He graduated from Southwest University in just two years and returned to China after studying abroad for one year. Although he did not

He brought back a degree from any foreign university, but with his unique talent in aircraft design, he overpowered domestic and foreign scholars in the institute and directly served as the director of the Aviation Research Institute and chief aircraft designer.

As the precision manufacturing plant was put into small-scale production, the engine manufacturing plant that invested heavily in the construction successfully manufactured the first new piston engine (because in the small-scale trial-production precision machinery factory, some machining accuracy related to engine manufacturing

The problem has not yet been completely solved (Zhang Shusheng temporarily provided some key components), and the flying career of the militia finally reached a big level.

Zhang Shusheng, who personally participated in the engine manufacturing and aircraft design work during this period, has an unforgettable feeling about the test flight of this aircraft. It is not easy, it is simply as difficult as climbing to the sky. If we want to put the existing scientific research into practice in the militia

If you look for the three most difficult experiences in college, they must be: aircraft manufacturing, electronic manufacturing, and precision manufacturing.

Others laugh at him because he only has military power but does not expand on a large scale. But they don’t know what he has been busy with in these years. In addition to government affairs and military affairs, in scientific research, he often wears workers’ clothes and goes to the front line of scientific research, working overtime all night long.

Solving a certain key problem, mentoring technical staff, teaching potential students who have just graduated, working hard with researchers, eating and drinking together, these are simply commonplace. All this took most of his time in the past five years.

Sometimes he even thinks that if he were a god, he could recruit all the outstanding talents and solve everything by snapping his fingers and giving him some blueprints.

But the actual situation is that he needs to wait for the students from the technical school and Southwest University to slowly graduate one by one under the guidance of Chinese and foreign teachers hired with high salaries, and he needs to wait for the overseas students he sent out at public expense to return.

He needs to recruit those technical and scholarly patriotic overseas Chinese one by one. He needs to coax those Chinese sons and daughters who have finally gone abroad and studied in major universities in the West to come back and coax them into this remote corner of the mountain.

He needs to act like a thief and go abroad to get foreign experts piecemeal. He needs to go into the workshop shirtless, and he needs to lie on the table and draw drawings for four or five hours without lifting his buttocks.

And because he took the lead personally, his unique scientific research courage infected everyone. Not only the Chinese employees were crazy, but also the foreign scholars were working crazy overtime and night. Almost every foreign scholar was crazy.

I had this experience: I stayed up all night, stayed up all night, ate cold meals when I was hungry, and drank boiled water when I was thirsty, just to overcome technical problems one after another. Then during the celebration, I counted the bonuses I received with him.

Very drunk.

Finally, in 1920, the militia had its first demonstration tank. In 1921, it had its own electronics factory. In 1922, it had its own precision factory and engine factory. In 1923, it had this tank.

Test flights of new aircraft,

Although these science and technology plans were not listed in the first five-year plan, they have produced tangible and far-reaching results.

This fighter, named J-1, represents that the militia has temporarily caught up with Westerners in the pace of aircraft modernization. The design of this fighter is based on the German Messerschmitt, which appeared ten years later.

The special bf109 fighter jet, although the various data of the J-1 is still far behind this famous World War II aircraft, its performance is still good. In terms of design concept, it has surpassed the West.

The wingspan reaches 862 meters, the length of the aircraft is 827 meters, the aircraft height is 23 meters, the empty weight is 2330 kilograms, the maximum speed is 390 kilometers, the ceiling is 8000 meters, and the range is 500 kilometers. The weapons and equipment include a 22-year-old 30mm cannon and two

It is a 1922-type 127mm large-caliber aviation machine gun specially developed for it.

After arriving at the airport runway, the Lu family brothers and sisters were completely confused. They had never seen an airplane in Guangxi, and neither did their father. They had only read in the newspaper that there were airplanes in Guangdong, and they were all small and ugly. They also heard

It is said that Sun Yat-sen of Guangdong seems to be manufacturing airplanes.

The plane in front of them gave them a chilling feeling. The powerful shape and the large-caliber gun barrel protruding from the wings meant that it was a murderous weapon.

"Let the plane prepare to take off!" Zhang Shusheng turned to Feng Ruhai, the chief designer of the Aviation Research Institute, and said,

Zhang Shusheng looked at the dazed Lu brothers and sisters beside him. The reason why he brought them to see the aircraft test flight was not simply to win over the in-laws, but to completely eliminate Lu Rongting's worries. Although this kind of aircraft is very advanced in China,

Overseas, the level is at most the same as that of aircraft of the same period, and he is not afraid of any leaks.

Marrying Lu Yunyan is one aspect, and he can successfully win Guangxi is another aspect. He would rather let the two sons and daughters of the Lu family know a small part of his true strength after seeing the power of this aircraft, thereby stabilizing the cooperation between the two parties.

I am willing to work hard on my own in the future and kill thousands of people before taking Guangxi.

When I showed them an early model J-1 aircraft, they were shocked at most, not even talking about leaking secrets.

After receiving the order from the tower, the pilot started to start the aircraft. After taxiing for less than 400 meters, the entire aircraft gradually left the ground, the nose of the aircraft was raised slightly, and finally it soared into the sky. Ten minutes later, the aircraft returned to the base and landed again.

, finally stopped on the runway, and the pilot also ran over to salute and report the test flight situation.[

"Reporting to the division commander, everything went well during the flight of the fighter jet."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Shusheng returned the military salute.

"Bah, bang, bang..." Although it was not the first successful test flight, all the scholars involved in the research on the J-1, including Zhang Shusheng, applauded.

The Lu family brother and sister also recovered from their trance and looked at each other, both seeing the other's surprise.

"Brother Polypropylene, how about we arrange another actual shooting?" Normally, the base conducts aircraft actual shooting training separately.

"No need, with the speed, height and configuration of this aircraft's heavy machine gun, once it flies over the enemy, it will be a naked massacre." Lu Binglun, who graduated from the Guangxi Army Lecture Hall, is certainly not an idiot, anyone can see it with his own eyes.

Anyone who has ever seen such an airplane will be shocked. "Brother Shusheng, it seems that my father will be relieved if you take over Guangxi in the future."

No need to look at anything, Lu Binglun already knew that Zhang Shusheng not only had several factories, but also had such advanced weapons that only Westerners had. So what need to say more about ordinary weapons and equipment?

With plenty of money and weapons, is it still difficult to defeat a warlord like Tang Jiyao? I'm afraid it's someone else who should pray and never encounter him.

Maybe he will still work under him in the future. Lu Binglun couldn't help but lamented that his father was indeed old. When his father's eyes were still on buying more rifles and more heavy machine guns, Zhang Shusheng had already built an airplane.

.

Zhang Shusheng smiled, walked over and chatted with the researchers on the scene for a few words before walking back, leaving them to record various data. Although this was already the first test flight, the researchers still had to diligently record every test flight.

Data. He smiled and said to Lu Yunyan, who was looking at the plane in a daze, "What are you thinking about?"

"It would be great if I could fly into the sky!" Lu Yunyan said, blinking.

"Haha, I will take you to fly together in the future." Zhang Shusheng held her little hand and said, "Let's go, let's accompany your cousin to see the gift for your uncle this time."

This time the convoy arrived at a garrison barracks located in the suburbs of Lishuping. As soon as the convoy entered the barracks after inspection, a company of heavily armed soldiers came to protect it.

"Take a break, stand at attention, and salute!!"
