Chapter 14 The Long-awaited Person
"I think these 350 tons of mines can give us at least 15 to 20 days of peace. If the guess is correct, the forces that plan to attack us will be almost ready by then!"
Tang Yunyang's words attracted the attention of several people around him.
"Anyone who serves as a soldier is willing to gamble!"
This is almost certain. Just think about the relatively boring life in the military camp after training. You can't understand the temptation of gambling for ordinary soldiers.
In addition, from a certain perspective, the life of a soldier is no longer his own. If he is going to die in battle tomorrow, then before this life, apart from the family ties, love and friendship that need to be cherished, what else is worth cherishing?
Since things are not worth cherishing, using them for entertainment is naturally not a big deal.
Several people who are familiar with military camp life know that it is time for them to gamble the rest of their lives.
Cheng Biguang didn't have to ask. As an old-fashioned naval general, he was impressed by the most powerful battlecruiser in the entire Southeast and the conditions that allowed him to retaliate against the Japanese. He would definitely devote himself to this so-called "Chinese National Defense Force".
"Going in.
So what about the other three people? Except for the possibility of Tang Shaoyi, the other two soldiers are still unknown for the time being.
At this time, the attack on Lushun and Dalian had been nearly two hours. Both the warships and the forts in the harbor had completely lost their combat capabilities under the saturation attack from the air. Including the army on the ground, the same was true.
Suffering serious damage and throwing anti-personnel bombs into the crowd is definitely an infantryman's nightmare.
The four guests on the airship were filled with joy and worry. What they were happy about was that the Chinese were finally not just being beaten when dealing with the Japanese. They were worried that if Tang Yunyang used these things to deal with the Beiyang Army,
The Beiyang Army was not as durable as the Japanese.
Li Jin came to Tang Yunyang with an encrypted telegram just sent from Qingdao. The whole telegram only contained 6 words: "The long-awaited person is coming soon!"
Needless to say, Tang Yunyang was more excited than Zhi Feng, Jiang Baili, Zhang Xiaohuai, and even Cheng Guangbi and Tang Shaoyi who brought their ships to surrender.
Who can make him so excited that he can't sit still and can't wait to see him immediately?
This statement must start from distant Russia. Especially, when the Russian Revolution began, amidst the Bolshevik revolutionary upsurge, the "bourgeois elements" who had once been in power panicked.
Because now, both their property and their persons have become the targets of attacks by the Red Guards. In the eyes of the Red Guards, who are composed of workers, farmers, and soldiers, they are all cannibals.
Guys, and at the beginning of the revolution, their scientific skills were not noticed because they were just damn capitalists or their lackeys.
Under the black night sky, Kiev, as a major base of the Red Army, would not be quiet at night in the early days of the revolution.
The red light for a long time showed that there was a fire somewhere here, and from time to time, a series of gunshots and explosions pierced the silence of the night sky. These noises made people in the aviation research institute nervous.
The young Sikorsky was still leaning over a desk, studying several drawings. Surprisingly, what he was studying was not his four-engine bomber that made him famous - the Ilya.
Mumets four-engine long-range bomber.
Looking at the drawings in his hand, the brilliance in Sikorski's eyes became more obvious. This was a prototype of a helicopter, with a two-blade rotor and a fuselage made of steel pipes. If he knew, how long would he be?
If it takes ten years before he can start developing his dream, how will he think about it?
"Mr. Igor Ivanozuchi Sikorsky, our research plane is being towed away by others. The Red Guards said they need the plane. You see..."
The person who was speaking was the young mechanic Sergei Vladimirovich Ilyushin. If it hadn't been for the revolution, he would have been studying to be a pilot in an aviation school by this time.
The 28-year-old Sikorski let out a long breath, as if he wanted to pour out all the depression in his heart. Yes, what can he do? In order to fight the rebels who finally came to the Tsar, the plane was a
A necessary weapon.
"Okay, we have nothing to worry about. The plane went to where it should go and completed its mission. I think it is better to be taken away by someone who can understand its purpose than to be damaged by others here.
Let these eagles fly!"
The 23-year-old Ilyushin also sighed. As a mechanic under Sikorsky, he could only sigh at the sourness in his tone. In this turbulent revolutionary night, as little people, they had no way to change.
No matter what, we have to leave it to fate.
The "pop" sound of gunfire rang out again near the flying laboratory, and Ilyushin saw Sikorski's back in his shirt trembling.
To a certain extent, politics and science are on opposite sides. You can try to think of it like this. A person who could have achieved something during the war can achieve more when he starts to worry about his life and safety.
Scientific achievements? In particular, aren’t those scientists and researchers who have made achievements during wars more worthy of people’s respect?
If you think about it from this point of view, whether a revolutionary cause is just is highly questionable!
Just like some peasant uprisings, even if they achieved a little victory at the beginning, they still could not escape the fate of failure because they lacked the guidance of scientific ideas and lacked respect for science.
Li Zicheng, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Xiaodao Society, the Revolution of 1911, which uprising was not like this?
There is only one conclusion. Since the world is progressing, revolutionaries must follow the pace of the world. Otherwise, failure in scientific competition may eventually lead to the destruction of the country and the sinking of the nation. If you don’t believe it, please take away the world map and look at it.
Look at Africa, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union.
Therefore, there is no need to surrender to fate, it is just fate! Just when Sikorsky and Ilyushin were worried about their own fate and felt that their "future was bleak", there were people who did not believe in fate.
Appear.
A fierce battle suddenly broke out in the open space that served as a road outside the Flight Research Institute. Amidst the fierce gunfire, there was the sound of a dying man screaming for help.
Surprised, Sililsky and Ilyushin came downstairs and quietly looked out of the window.
The Red Guards, composed of mechanics or workers from the Flying Laboratory, fell under the heavy firepower of bullets. Although the weapons in their hands were spitting out bullets from time to time, and although their machine guns were also roaring, they were unable to face the opponent's firepower.
At this time, all resistance seems futile.
Opposite was a troop of a number of strange-looking armored vehicles. The machine guns fired from the vehicles were obviously super-large-caliber machine guns, so much so that Sikorski thought those armored vehicles belonged to Germany. After all, in the recent war, the Russian army collapsed and
The nationwide revolution was partly due to these armored vehicles.
Among the soldiers of the Red Guard, especially those Russian soldiers who had participated in the war, they completely lost the courage they had during the revolution. When facing these armored vehicles, they held their heads one by one and crawled into any hiding place.
They know that these steel behemoths are not something people like them can stop.
The only Red Guards, composed of workers and farmers who did not know how powerful these things were, were still shooting bravely. But their shooting only attracted the attention of the other party, and then the resistance was immediately broken down in the rain of bullets sprayed from the armored vehicles.

In the surprised eyes of Sikorski and Ilyushin, these armored vehicles were spraying tongues of fire, shooting at all places where enemies might be hiding, and driving straight towards them. Obviously, their target was where the two of them were.
This room.
Finally, two armored vehicles arrived in front of the house and formed a figure-eight shape to protect the entrance of the house. Then, two teams of soldiers dressed in black rushed out from the back door of the armored vehicles.
Amidst the sound of "bang", the door was kicked open. At this time, Sikorsky and Ilyushin, who were already hiding behind a sofa, lowered their heads and huddled tightly, for fear of making any noise.
"Sikorski, Sikorski, where are you? We are here to protect you and get you out of here!"
Standard Russian words rang out, and while they were speaking, the person who came in directed others to enter other rooms to search.
When Sikorski heard that the other party's target was him, his face turned as pale as a zombie without a trace of blood.
Nevertheless, he made a silencing gesture to Ilyushin, and he slowly leaned out from behind the sofa.
"I...I'm here, I'm the only one here!"
Ilyushin understood Sikorsky's choice. He pressed against the floor desperately, hoping that the other party would not notice him.
When his head hit the floor, from the gap between the sofa and the light emitted by the armored vehicle shooting outside, he could see the opponent's military boots. What was frightening was that they were slowly moving towards the sofa.
Came over.
Here, apart from Sikorsky's gasps of fear, standard Russian was heard again in the room.
"Sikorski? No, you don't need to raise your hands, we are not your enemies. The people who sent us asked me to tell you the following word - helicopter!"
"Helicopter?! You mean...?"
"Yes, if you wish, you will receive funding and patent rights if your research is successful!"
Upon hearing the news, Sikorski screamed.
Chapter completed!
