Chapter 154

The youth of the new leader Fang Rui did not seem to cause much repercussions in the military. In fact, when the army was launched from Wuhu, the National Defense Forces did not talk much about seniority. It was all based on ability. Especially for front-line troops.

Commander, even more so. Although Captain Fang was young, his deeds quickly spread among the regiment. During the period of peace in Central Asia, he was unhappy with the casualties of his comrades, and witnessed the atrocities of the traitors, and he was deeply moved.

More than a hundred prisoners were shot.

With his gentle appearance, you couldn't tell he was a murderous guy. It turned out that the battalion led by Fang Rui had known about this man's fierceness during the recruit training, and had beaten a group of recruits who had been trained by the reserve force.

*. Now that Fang Rui has become the group leader and has given Zhang Zhizhong a guarantee, it will be even more cruel.

At two o'clock in the morning, when they were all sleeping, a sharp and sharp whistle drove the officers and soldiers out of their cells. After the gathering, Fang Rui looked at his hands and cursed with dissatisfaction: "A bunch of pigs are better than you."

Easy to lead, it took a full thirty-five minutes to complete the assembly. Do you know what an emergency assembly is? You have successfully angered me, so I want to punish you. Taking the battalion as a unit, we will now start a fifteen-kilometer emergency march. Let’s talk about it first, and finally

The whole camp where one of them came back was not allowed to have breakfast."

The 135th Division is a Category A division. Fang Rui's regiment has four infantry battalions, one machine gun company, and some directly affiliated troops, with a total of more than 2,600 officers and soldiers. An armed march of 20 kilometers is really not a fun thing. As a

Fang Rui, the acting group leader, could have traveled by car, but he still chose to follow the group on foot.

The quality of this group of soldiers is quite good, which may be the reason why life has become better. During the march, there were not many stragglers. Fang Rui noticed that there were some officers behind each battalion, and the stragglers responsible for organizing their respective units slowly followed.

After joining the team, he was very satisfied and said to Su Rong, the life coach around him: "The quality of the grassroots officers is good."

"The first lesson that every officer and soldier who joins the National Defense Forces learns is that we are a whole. Every unit is a whole, and comrades are the people who can trust their backs. Our reserve regiment has always had two sets of teams.

, officers are at least non-commissioned officers. Battalion commanders and above are veteran non-commissioned officers who have retired from the army, and their general military quality is not a big problem. However, our group of officers have been in the reserve for a long time, and our familiarity with new equipment is based on textbooks.

There is no actual combat experience. It would be great if the superiors could add a group of active veterans and non-commissioned officers to the 135th Division, so that the combat effectiveness would be formed faster."

"This class is taught by life coaches, right?" Fang Rui asked with a smile. Su Rong raised his head proudly and said, "Of course, our team is a special unit created by President Fang Da in the military. Every

Personnel must undergo strict selection and undergo rigorous military training and psychological education. Even though there are not many people who provide life guidance, without this special team, the combat effectiveness of the army will be reduced by at least 10%."

Fang Rui laughed hahaly and said: "This is too modest. I heard a senior say before that the combat effectiveness of troops without life guidance will be reduced by at least 30%." In fact, this was said by Fang Jianxiong. Without this group of soldiers, it is responsible for the soldiers*

*, the combat effectiveness of the army is really worse if the life guidance of putting the interests of the country and the nation first is inculcated all day long.

When Fang Rui was in charge of his delegation, the atmosphere in the Capitol was somewhat solemn. The speaker's hammer made a loud sound, but the members of the two groups who were angry and angry because of the endless dispute had no intention of stopping.

The focus of the dispute is because Gao Zongwu, a member of the National Assembly, criticized the country's current mobilization policy, which has seriously affected the country's normal economic order. Xiong Xiling of the United Progressive Party echoed, clamoring for a shift in the country's industrial policy, causing some industries related to people's livelihood to be affected.

unfair treatment.

The Republican congressmen had a large number of people and were backed by large groups, so naturally they would not buy it. So they started arguing, and when the quarrel was not enough, they started fighting, and the Congress became a mess.

To put it bluntly, this matter is caused by the uneven distribution of interests. Behind the Communist Party and the United Progressive Party, there are no capitalists who have been involved in the military industry. Eighty percent of the country's continuous large military expenditures have gone into the pockets of the capitalists behind the Republican Party. There is no gain.

Of course the ** and the United Progressive Party, who are interested in the benefits, will not agree, and of course they will **.

But then again, heavy industry requires a large investment and a long recovery period. Who in the ordinary private capital is willing to engage in this? Take Norinco’s steel plant in Anshan as an example. The initial investment was five million silver dollars.

An additional two million was invested, and it took more than three years to complete the construction and put it into production.

The two opposition parties together do not have the support of a company engaged in the steel industry. The Zhang family of Nantong is considered the most outstanding family business among the opposition parties, and it is engaged in the textile industry. Although it can also get orders from the army, this

The competition in the industry is fierce and cannot be compared with that of enterprises such as steel and military industry. An important criterion for rapid economic development is steel output, but the threshold for this industry is high. Unlike the textile industry, a few ordinary rich people can work together to achieve success.

You can just set up a factory. And the Zhang family is not engaged in cashmere woolen goods. This business is mainly concentrated in the provinces of Zhili, Re, Cha, and Hei, because they are close to the grasslands. And what the army needs the most at the moment is woolen goods.

and down products.

Seeing that large groups such as the Eurasian, Northern, Northeastern Zhang Family, and Shanghai Sanlian have received large amounts of military orders, it is strange that the people who are watching are not jealous. So they came up with a trick, that is, to fight through separatist elections in Congress.

Under the banner of anti-monopoly, these military industry companies were forced to split up and go public. At the beginning, out of concerns about corruption, it was stipulated that companies engaged in military industry could not be listed.

The fact that the congressmen fought for the interests of their respective bosses soon reached the ears of President Fang Da. It was a matter that the Prime Minister of the Cabinet came to report in person. Gu Weijun was also under great pressure. After all, China is not facing a war now.

Such a large-scale military investment puts great pressure on both the state and the employer. Especially in the past two years, the inflation rate has exceeded 10% in a row. This has caused Gu Weijun to be questioned in Congress.

The opposition parties attacked the cabinet for being in charge of the government and ignoring people's livelihood, which is basically the same in every country. What Gu Weijun really felt pressure was the issue of inflation. Although he did not question President Fang Da's correct judgment of the international situation, he still emphasized during the report

: "President Roosevelt of the United States introduced the Anti-Monopoly Law. In the long run, monopoly is indeed detrimental to the national economy."

After listening to Gu Weijun's report, Fang Jianxiong nodded in agreement: "Monopoly is not good, but it takes time. At least it is not suitable to carry out similar reforms at the moment because it will affect armaments. The world war is just around the corner, and the important names of these monopolies are few.

Trump should be very clear about it. But Congress can have some dialectical discussions on this issue. In short, let’s talk about it after the war.”

Gu Weijun was more or less disappointed. In his heart, he still believed that the entanglement of interests between these monopolies and Fang Jianxiong himself was at work. As everyone knows, no one was willing to do these monopolies at the beginning. When the country was completely empty, Eurasia Group took the lead.

Investments in the fields of steel, military industry, petrochemicals, etc. are also strongly implemented by Fang Jianxiong. The group's senior executives have great controversy over the realization of domestic production in these fields. Some group executives argue that buying oil is cheaper than refining it yourself, so why?

You still have to refine it yourself? This is just like what a certain head of one of the four major families in Japan said in history, it is cheaper to import penicillin than to produce it yourself, so there is no need to set up a pharmaceutical factory.

Fang Jianxiong's method of dealing with this matter is to delay. The world war has already started. Isn't it troublesome to engage in anti-monopoly at this time? Moreover, none of these opposition party congressmen have capitalists standing behind them. To put it bluntly, it is for profit.

Also for the sake of national interests, a fierce air battle is going on over the British Isles. Chinese aviation volunteers, organized into fifty squadrons, flying domestically produced Mustang A-type fighter jets, are fighting with the German Air Force.

In early July, the British government used its national reserves of gold to urgently purchase 500 Mustang fighter jets from China. In order to earn this gold in the shortest possible time, all 200 fighter jets currently in service in the Air Force were taken out to recharge. This was

The most direct result of this order was that the aircraft manufacturing plants in Wuchang and Shenyang expanded their production capacity again and again. President Fang Jianxiong directly issued an order requiring these two aircraft manufacturing companies to reach an annual output of 8,000 new fighter jets before the end of 1941.

Fang Ping didn't like the humid weather in Britain at all. He was used to staying in Yanjing. When he arrived here, he felt that every fart contained water vapor. Britain, which only had 700 fighter jets, faced the powerful German Air Force across the strait in three battles.

They had to let these Chinese warriors who had just set foot on British soil go into battle.

The day after Fang Ping arrived in the UK, he was sent to an airport near Portsmouth, where two British aviation squadrons and the **Volunteer Aviation Squadron were stationed, flying Spitfires and Mustang A's respectively.

Mustang A is actually a land version of the Navy Swift-5. Compared with the Mustang-** currently in service in China, its high-altitude combat capability is somewhat insufficient. However, this does not prevent Fang Ping from flying the aircraft to fight against the German **F109.

You can have a certain understanding of the name of this German fighter jet.

After a night in Portsmouth, at nine o'clock the next morning, on a rare day of good weather, Fang Ping, who was drinking coffee under a parasol, heard a piercing siren. Everyone was as if they were wearing springs.

Jumping up, Fang Ping, the leader of the 3rd Squadron, ran towards his car as fast as he could.

One by one, the war eagles quickly took off into the sky. As they formed a formation over the airport, Fang Ping heard the instructions from the radio, and then commanded his ten mustangs to fly to the far end.

"We found an enemy plane diagonally below us. There were about thirty fighter jets, which looked like **F109s, and the same number of bombers."

"Fang, I will lead the team up first. Don't worry about the F109. Dive and shoot down the bomber first. This is for the escort convoy in the strait. Leave the F109 to us." I heard that the British who were setting off together were heard.

Squadron Leader Tiny's voice made Fang Ping smile slightly and say: "Then I wish you good luck, Squadron 3, follow me, dive, and attack the bombers first."

The Mustang fighter squadron was currently at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The German bomber fleet was about two thousand meters below. The dive was only a moment away from the distance of about two thousand meters. "Wingman, follow me." Fang Ping shouted, fiercely.

Push the rod down.

The sudden appearance of a group of fighter jets caused chaos among the German fleet. The bombers approached one after another, and the fighter jets bravely stepped forward to meet them. The British squadron, which had only one-third of the number of Germans, rushed forward bravely to fight. At this time, the British squadron swooped down from high altitude.

A squadron of ten Mustang fighter jets pounced on the German bombers with lightning speed.

Haller, a crew member of a British fleet sailing on the sea, said this when recalling the battle afterwards: "I will never forget this day, July 10, 1940. German planes were about to attack our fleet.

At that time, some fighter planes with five-color flags suddenly appeared in the sky. They chased the German bombers, sometimes very low, so I could see them. The German bombers were flying one by one in front of these five-color fighters.

They burst into flames, and one by one they screamed and fell down. Thank God, just when I thought I was going to be doomed this time, these planes appeared."

This was Fang Ping's first time participating in actual combat. When he bit a bomber and shot it down, his wingman was bitten by the tail of a German fighter jet. He had no choice but to accelerate and roll away. Fang Ping was quickly captured.

Two **F109s were targeting them, and his choice was to shout to the radio: "Don't get entangled, climb, compare speeds, get rid of the enemy planes, and then dive."

The effect of this move against the **F109 can only be said to be okay, but against the bulky bombers, the effect is excellent. Ten Mustangs happened one after another, and the **f109 was not as fast as the Mustang. They could only watch the distance helplessly from behind.

It got bigger and bigger. German pilot Hans said this to his superiors after he returned, "This is definitely not a British fighter plane. It climbs too fast, at least six to seven hundred."

The Mustang climbed up and dived again. This time Fang Ping was eyeing an F-109, because this plane was chasing a Spitfire, and the British fighter squadron in the air was not in a very good situation right now.

Well, at least three planes were shot down, and the others were trembling in pain. Fang Ping heard Dini yelling on the radio: "Damn it, don't even think about shooting me down, Fuck!"

Tiny, who was struggling and rolling, suddenly found that the enemy plane behind him was on fire and began to fall diagonally. He turned around and saw that it was a Mustang. The number on it was 031. There was actually something behind this plane.

Chasing two German twin-engine fighter planes ME110. "Fang, thank you for your help, do you need my help now?" Tiny still had the intention to joke, these pilots with their heads tied to their belts can really enjoy themselves in hardship.
