Regarding Chief Engineer Ye Zaifu and Director Ma Deji’s feelings,
The naval commander, Commander Yang Shuzhuang, didn't care at all and didn't pay attention.
At this moment, he was very emotional and excited.
Is the Navy short of money to build warships?
Very lacking,
During this period of time, in order to complete the construction of the naval fleet that he wanted to expand, he collected money everywhere and asked people from all walks of life for donations. He was already worried about not being able to eat or drink well, and even his sleep time was becoming increasingly difficult.
There are more and more days of insomnia,
Now, I suddenly received a call from someone who was willing to unconditionally donate a floating carrier and a minesweeper to the Navy Ministry.
That is simply the sound of nature!
"Prepare a car for me immediately, I'm going to Zhou's house!"
"I also need to find someone who knows how to drive there!"
"Although I know Mr. Zhou Jixian's name and status, I really don't know where his fourth brother's family is!"
After the excitement, Commander Yang immediately called his adjutant Wu Dahua into the office and gave him the latest instructions.
"Yes! Commander!"
"But the new ship construction supervisor just called and said that the weapons and equipment sales personnel sent by the Japanese naval military industry enterprise are about to arrive at our place, so he wants you to go over and meet and negotiate with these Japanese military personnel. !”
"Because the amount of weapons and equipment purchased this time is relatively large, he is worried that his power is limited, and the final approver still needs your signature and seal, Commander, for it to take effect!"
Regarding Commander Yang’s order,
Adjutant Wu Dahua nodded and agreed without hesitation.
But then, he made a supplementary report.
"Ask him to find the commanders of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet to accompany him and conduct price negotiations with the personnel of the Japanese naval military industrial enterprise. As for the quality, he must find the chief engineer Ye Zaifu and the director Ma Deji to determine the quality!"
"Afterwards, I will look at the report and decide the amount to purchase!"
"Now I have more important things to deal with!"
"Anyway, this is not the first time they have traded with the Japanese army!"
After hearing this, Commander Yang waved his hand indifferently and responded.
"Yes! I understand! I will prepare the car for you immediately and convey your instructions to the new ship construction supervisor!"
Adjutant Wu Dahua immediately agreed.
Immediately, he quickly followed the instructions.
Soon, a group of cars, escorted by a group of naval guards, drove towards Zhou Wenhua's home.
At this time, Zhou Wenhua
However, due to his father’s connections, he
Under the protection of his own bodyguard team, he arrived at the Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory.
In 1927, the Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory was formally established under the instruction of the Aviation Department.
Because during the period from 1927 to 1931, Songhu had become the largest port in the Far East and the main port for the import of aviation equipment.
Because of this, the Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory came into being, but at the beginning, its name was Songhu Aircraft Repair Factory.
In the early days of its establishment, the Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory not only had simple equipment, but also the factory building area was very small. The entire factory only built a machine room and an engine workshop, which was only a small factory building, and the investment and construction costs were very small. Less than 20,000 yuan in national currency.
In December 1928, after the Aviation Administration of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs of the National Army was established, it officially took over the Songhu Aircraft Repair Factory and renamed it Songhu Aviation Factory.
In February 1929, as the aviation administration's wholesale funds were in place, they began to manufacture replicas of the French Gaudelon biplane trainer aircraft. After the replica was completed, it was named "Success" No. 1, which can be regarded as
It was the earliest domestically produced aircraft during the Republic of China.
After the successful development of the "Successful" No. 1 test flight, the Songhu Aviation Factory once again received a certain amount of expansion capital turnover, and carried out a one-time improvement and expansion of important sites such as the aviation factory building, warehouse, apron, and employee dormitories.
After the successful expansion, the Songhu Aviation Factory copied the British Avro trainer aircraft, and finally achieved certain results and successfully tested it.
However, all the foreign training aircraft copied by the Songhu Aviation Factory are just obsolete products that the foreign countries do not want and are about to be eliminated, rather than the latest aviation technology products of the foreign countries.
It is also because of this that the imitation aircraft and training aircraft produced by this Songhu aviation factory are not only wanted by the Air Force, the Air Force and the Air Force Aviation School, but also by no one from other sales channels.
But what makes the situation even worse is that the capital of Nanjing has not continued to provide funds to maintain and supply the normal operation of this aviation factory.
This is the rhythm of preparing to abandon this aviation factory.
And next year in 1932, when the first "Songhu Anti-Japanese War" broke out, this aviation factory was also blown up by Japanese aircraft and disappeared in the flames of war.
The purpose of Zhou Wenhua coming here is to invest here, and hope that the personnel here can develop and produce Hawker-III fighter jets, Hawker-75 fighter jets, Rhein trainer aircraft, and CW21 fighter jets in the future.
P-40 fighter jets, coastal patrol aircraft, as well as Sikorsky amphibious aircraft and other famous aircraft from the anti-Japanese era.
Just like the later Central Hangzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, it had increasingly advanced self-owned R&D and manufacturing capabilities for aircraft, including of course the ability to imitate them.
However, during the Republic of China, domestic aircraft factories were basically just assembly plants, and most parts had to be imported.
It does not have its own independently developed aircraft materials and parts.
The development of the domestic aviation industry is very weak.
When Zhou Wenhua arrived at the Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory under the escort of his bodyguard car team, the new factory director Fan Zhifei came out to greet him with a bright smile and a group of technical backbones.
Because before Zhou Wenhua came, he had already stated that he wanted to invest in the factory, or donate a sum of money to maintain normal operations and the daily life of the skilled workers in the factory.
And we also plan to give a batch of orders to the factory,
So I learned about the appearance of such a God of Wealth,
As the new director of Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory, Fan Zhifei naturally agreed to meet Zhou Wenhua without hesitation.
After agreeing, he also personally inquired about Zhou Wenhua's background.
After knowing that he was a member of Zhou Jixian's family and that Zhou Wenhua's father had a huge business network and a huge family fortune,
He was immediately in a good mood and wanted nothing more.
Clean up the appearance of yourself and all the technicians and workers in your factory, including the sanitation of the factory,
