"Mr. Zhuoyan has long said that China's navy and army have lagged behind the world. If we want to catch up, we need to make a thousand times more efforts to make up for past deficiencies. Only in the air force field, countries around the world have just started, and China is bound to fight to the death.
Live, we can no longer lag behind others, otherwise China will have no chance to reverse its national destiny within a hundred years!"
"Yunhua, I always hear you mention Mr. Zhuoyan. He seems to be young, so why is he worthy of your respect?" Wang Zhu asked with a smile.
Wang Zhu and Bayusao were both selected to study in the UK in the late Qing Dynasty. After the outbreak of World War I, they had no choice but to study in the United States. They studied aeronautics together at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and obtained a master's degree. Later, they entered the United States as an intern at an aircraft manufacturing company.
.
Wang Zhu successfully entered the newly formed Boeing Company and became the first chief engineer, helping Boeing win its first order from the Navy. It was with the first pot of gold that Boeing achieved its subsequent glory.
, and Wang Zhu has also become famous in the American aviation industry.
"Yupeng, do you think there will be a day when China surpasses the great powers? China is full of factories, capable of producing the smartest goods, taking the crown of the world's factory, and possessing the most powerful armed force in the world.
All countries must fear China’s power.”
When Wang Zhu heard what Bayusao said, he smiled bitterly and said: "Yunhua, I naturally hope so, but the longer I stay in Europe and the United States, the more I understand the gap between us and them. This gap even makes me
There is a feeling of despair, and one may even worry that China will sink like this forever."
"Yes, many people will think so, but Mr. Zhuoyan is the only one I have seen who has full confidence, and not only confidence, but also real methods. The most fundamental reason why China lags behind the West is its industrial backwardness. They can manufacture
. We can’t make it. All Westerners can make huge profits with their sophisticated goods, allowing their citizens to enjoy a prosperous life, and at the same time build a strong army to protect business interests. If the Chinese can one day make
The same thing, with our huge population advantage, we have the ability to crush any great power."
Wang Zhu listened carefully and said with a smile: "This argument is different from that of many Chinese scholars. They value the humanistic spirit more, the political system more, and the Western democracy and freedom."
Bayuzao sighed and said with a sneer: "This is the difference between a man of action and a clear figure who is ruining the country with empty talk. Yu Peng, it's not like you haven't experienced it in the United States. Do you still believe in their so-called democracy and freedom?
"
Bayuzao's words immediately aroused Wang Zhu's sadness. In fact, after Wang Zhu became the chief engineer of Boeing, he already had a considerable reputation in the American aviation industry. As a veteran of Boeing, the future prospects are quite promising, Wang Zhu
I have also wavered whether I want to develop in the United States. After all, the conditions that the United States can provide are really great!
However, the U.S. Navy later tested the seaplane designed and built by Wang Zhu, but Wang Zhu was not allowed to enter the test site because it was worried that they would learn advanced American aviation technology.
This is a completely ridiculous accusation. However, at this time, Wang Zhu also saw clearly the nature of racial discrimination in the United States. In such an era of white supremacy, only those who truly have a strong motherland can overseas tourists be respected. And Wang Zhu also
For this reason, he still returned to China with Bayama Zao and the others.
The freighter gradually entered the port, and a welcoming crowd could already be seen on the pier. Bayama was the first to get off the freighter, followed closely by Wang Zhu and others. After a long voyage, the young students on the ship
They are all very tired, especially in order to transport so many machines. They can only squeeze into a small space with the crew and endure all kinds of smells. If it were not supported by the blood in their chests, no one would be willing to do this.
Suffer.
"Yunhua, after two years of separation, we meet again!"
Zhang Tinglan greeted Bayuzao with a smile, and Bayuzao also noticed Zhang Tinglan. After two years, Zhang Tinglan seemed to have become more mature, with a sense of heroism in his gentleness, and a decisive style of killing.
Obviously, this kind of magnanimity of a superior person has been developed over the past two years.
"Mr. Zhuoyan, when we were studying in the United States, we tried our best to find news about the country every day. I heard that you had recovered the Middle Road. Do you know how happy we were? For two days, we were so excited that we couldn't sleep. We wished we could
Return to the country immediately, fight with the soldiers in the army, and kill the enemy for the country."
"Don't worry, Middle East Road is just an appetizer. You will soon be useful." Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "Please introduce the others to me and let me see how many talents you have brought back."
Bayuzao smiled and pulled over two young men, both in their twenties and thirties. One was fair and elegant, and the other was energetic and capable.
"These two are my classmates. They graduated from the aviation major at MIT together. The pretty boy is called Wang Zhu, and the other is named Wang Xiaofeng. There are only a dozen people who graduated in the same period, and three of them are Chinese.
, Facts have proved that the learning ability of Chinese people is no worse than that of Westerners!."
Zhang Tinglan also feels the same way. The learning ability of the Chinese people has been recognized by later generations. China does not lack geniuses, it just lacks a stage for geniuses to show their full play. Zhang Tinglan may not be familiar with Wang Xiaofeng, but he is very clear about Wang Zhu.
The famous father of Boeing is definitely the top authority in the field of early aircraft manufacturing.
However, like most Chinese experts of this era, their talents were not fully utilized. After Wang Zhu returned to China, he has been struggling to manufacture China's own aircraft and also tried to set up his own aircraft factory. However, the first aircraft he manufactured was
During the test flight, it unfortunately crashed.
In fact, this is very normal in the aviation field. The early development of aircraft was based on human lives. However, due to the lack of understanding and lack of attention by the Republic of China government, Wang Zhu did not receive any substantial support in the subsequent period.
The dream has always stayed in the dream stage.
Until the Anti-Japanese War, Chinese pilots could only fly foreign aircraft and fight against the Japanese invaders. Soon the Air Force became a real "air force". At this time, Wang Zhu could only be responsible for repairing aircraft. He had the top aviation talents.
, but China does not have its own aircraft, which cannot but be said to be the tragedy of the Republic of China.
The so-called golden decade is also a fortress built on the beach. It looks good, but without strong heavy industry as the backbone and pillar, it cannot withstand collisions. And a government that does not know how to develop industry can only rely on the Japanese.
Under the heavy blow, they were defeated again and again, until they retreated to the southwest.
Now that Wang Zhu and others have just returned from their studies, they are in their prime. History will never repeat itself, and the Chinese aircraft will definitely dominate the sky.
"You are welcome to come to the three northeastern provinces to use your talents. I made a suggestion to Yushuai a few days ago to set up several aircraft manufacturing factories. You three talents, plus teachers from Nanyuan Aviation School, will temporarily set up two aircraft manufacturing factories."
A fighter jet manufacturing factory and two bomber manufacturing factories. If you are willing, this aircraft manufacturing factory will be named after you. This is also the practice of the West."
After hearing Zhang Tinglan's proposal, Bayuzao, Wang Zhu and Wang Xiaofeng all widened their eyes. Feng Jun's handiwork was indeed extraordinary. He was going to build four aircraft manufacturing plants at once. Just listening to it made him feel refreshed.
"Mr. Zhuoyan, why do we have to build two factories for fighter jets and bombers? Isn't this a waste of resources? Can't we pool our efforts together and build a large factory?" Bayama asked with a little doubt.
.
"Of course not. Everyone needs pressure, and factories also need competition. In the future, there will be more types of aircraft, and their functions will not be exactly the same, so different design ideas are needed. Of course, too many is not good, as it will distract our efforts.
, for the time being, there are two fighter jets and two bombers, and we will increase the number appropriately in the future!”
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "You should also pay attention. Funds are always limited. You must use enough skills to obtain funds, and you must also produce the best products and obtain orders from the army, so that your factory can
develop.”
Bayuzao and others instantly understood Zhang Tinglan's plan, which was to create healthy competition in the entire industry and achieve the best results. This is also a common practice among Western powers. Zhang Tinglan planned like this. It is obvious that he is an expert who understands the overall situation and can
Having such an expert leader made them feel relieved. It seemed that the three northeastern provinces were indeed the place where they could realize their dreams.
Bayuzao then introduced other talents to Zhang Tinglan, including overseas Chinese, government-sponsored overseas students from Beiyang, and several apprentices sent by Zhang Tinglan. They were mainly engaged in aviation, metallurgy, and machine manufacturing.
Such majors are exactly the talents that Fengjun needs most.
Even those apprentices are quite remarkable. They not only learned skills in American factories, but also paid great attention to factory management skills. After two years of training, they had no problem managing a workshop in China. In addition to these talents,
There is another group of people, led by Hou Debang. They are mainly talents in the chemical industry. Since they have also purchased a lot of machinery and cannot ship it back, it will take a month before they can return to China.
Zhang Tinglan is very satisfied with having these talents, and Fengjun's aviation industry has finally found its way.
"Mr. Zhuoyan, we heard that Fengjun was at war with the Russians, so we used the funds you provided to trial-produce ten aircraft and also purchased a batch of engines. We can assemble them as soon as needed."
When Zhang Tinglan heard what Bayuzao said, his eyes suddenly lit up: The air force has become a reality! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
