When night fell, Wuzhuang was brightly lit from afar, and several snow-bright lights were moving rapidly in the night, and Yin Youcai, the commander of the Xi'an Military Region sitting in the car, felt a little stuffy, slowly rolled down the window, and a cool breeze came to his face.

Yi Zhishu came to Xi'an secretly this time, he didn't dare to come to visit rashly, for fear of revealing the other party's whereabouts, and he came by night after calling for instructions.

Thinking that he was about to meet Yi Zhicontent, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, the last time they met, when they were transferred from the Xinjiang Military Region to the Xi'an Military Region, it had been eight years, and time passed really fast.

His thoughts unconsciously pulled far away, remembering the scene when he first entered the Yuan Qi Yi School, at that time, Yi Zhishu took them to practice every day, and then formed the Yuan Qi group to practice, beat the British, and the Yuan Qi group training also developed into the Yuan Qi New Army, followed by the Taiping Army, the Spaniards, the Dutch, the Four Nations Alliance, the Russians, and successively destroyed the Japanese Kingdom, Korea, Annam, Siam, Burma and Central Asian countries.

In the past forty years, the Yuanqi New Army has gone from a corner of Guangzhou to control the entire territory of the Qing Dynasty, and he has grown step by step from a poor peasant child in Hunan to the commander of the military region sitting on one side, all of which is because of their principal!

Wuzhuang Guest House, study.

Yi Zhicontent, who wore a pair of reading glasses, carefully looked at the reports submitted by various research institutes under the desk lamp, he did not understand scientific research, but he knew the trend of development, and he could point out the goals of various research institutes, so that they could avoid detours, and this was the greatest advantage of the Qing Dynasty in the development of science and technology and the development of the military industry.

For example, in the original historical trajectory, the aircraft was not valued by the military of various countries in the ten years after its invention, because no one could foresee the great value of the aircraft in the military field, and it was not until the outbreak of the First World War that the aircraft was valued by the militaries of various countries.

Yi Zhengde came in with a pot of freshly brewed red robes, and said tentatively while pouring tea: "Father seems to be in a hurry to make the plane form combat power?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhishu put down the report, took off his reading glasses, took a few sips of the tea cup, and then said: "I plan to sell a batch of submarines to Germany, but the current sonar technology is not mature enough to effectively reconnoiter submarines under the sea surface, and it is necessary to rely on helicopters to board ships for sea surface reconnaissance." ”

Regarding politics, Yi Zhengde rarely asked, nor was he interested, nor did he ask why he wanted to sell submarines to Germany, but he was surprised: "Can helicopters cooperate with warships for sea surface reconnaissance?" ”

"Why not?" Yi Zhizu asked rhetorically: "Since helicopters can take off and land vertically, they can naturally take off and land on battleships, and armed helicopters can even carry bombs or torpedoes to attack battleships." ”

"It seems that the role of helicopters was limited before." Yi Zhengde said excitedly: "In this way, the importance of helicopters is not inferior to that of airplanes. ”

"Of course, why would you have been asked to develop a helicopter?" Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Helicopters, whether they are in military or civilian use, have an extremely wide range of fields, and we must pay attention to them. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Hurry up and take shape as soon as possible, first produce in small quantities, and then transport it to Vladivostok to train with the battleship." ”

"Vladivostok?" Yi Zhengde was a little dazed, Vladivostok was obviously a port, but he hadn't heard of it.

"A newly built secret military port is mainly for the study of joint operations of aircraft and warships." Yi Zhizu casually explained that Vladivostok itself was an excellent port, and he naturally would not waste it, and had long planned to use it as a secret construction base for the Daqing aircraft carrier, which was remote enough to be kept secret.

The reason why Vladivostok was chosen as a secret naval base was not only to facilitate secrecy, but also to promote the development of Northeast China.

With the collapse and disintegration of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine, as an important military industrial base of the former Soviet Union, became independent and sold a large amount of military technology to foreign countries, and he was unwilling to repeat the mistakes of the former Soviet Union.

After a pause, he continued: "Not only helicopters will be on board, but fighters will also be on board in the future, so you have to be prepared." ”

Fighters can also get on battleships? Yi Zhengde felt a little confused, the helicopter can take off and land vertically, and it can still be said that the past can be said on the ship, how can the fighter board the ship? Besides, even if they can get on it, how much combat power can one or two fighters form?

A sound of footsteps sounded, and when I arrived at the door, I heard Zhao Liewen's voice, "The big shopkeeper——, Yin Youcai is here." ”

"Let him in." Yi Zhizhi said and stood up, "Go to the living room." ”

Yin Youcai, who was dressed in a military uniform, strode into the living room with some excitement, and when he saw it, he was content, so he saluted in a proper manner, "Student Yin Youcai has seen the principal." ”

Yi Zhizu took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Xi'an is your territory, why are you so cautious?" ”

"The principal is concerned about the safety of the world, how dare students not be cautious." Yin Youcai said cautiously.

"It's not that exaggerated, this earth can be turned around without anyone." Yi Zhishu smiled and stretched out his hand, and after shaking hands and greeting and sitting, Yin Youcai said tentatively: "The principal came to Xi'an to inspect this trip?" ”

"By the way." Yi Zhishu didn't hide it, and said straightforwardly: "I plan to go to the northwest to inspect and recover Anxi for many years, and I have always wanted to go to Anxi to take a look, but I have not been able to make the trip." ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to Anxi secretly, the smile on Yin Youcai's face suddenly froze, "The principal is patrolling the northwest in micro-service, it's too risky, and I ask the principal to think twice." ”

Yi Zhizhi said: "Feng Renxuan of Anxi and Zuo Zongtang of Xinjiang both reported to the Northwest Dazhi, could it be that they made false reports?" ”

"Not really." Yin Youcai muttered, hesitated, and then he boldly said: "Zuo Feng has been running the northwest for many years, and Zuo Jigao has the nickname of the king of the northwest, and the students will definitely not rest assured that the principal will go to the northwest to inspect." ”

Yi Zhishu looked at him silently, Zuo Zongtang and Feng Renxuan have been running Xinjiang and Anxi for more than 20 years, Feng Renxuan is a combination of military and political power, although Zuo Zongtang is not a combination of military and political power, he also controls the strength of the first brigade at hand, and it is reasonable for the other party not to worry about him to go in micro-service.

However, he is still at ease with Zuo Zongtang and Feng Renxuan, neither of them is short-sighted, and it is impossible to be unfavorable to him, otherwise, the world will inevitably be in chaos.

Seeing that he was silent, Yin Youcai, who was familiar with his temperament, couldn't help but be a little anxious, "If the principal insists on going, please allow the students to lead the department to follow." ”

Yi Zhi's content to inspect the northwest, not to accompany Huang Dianyuan, to recover Anxi for many years, he really wants to go to inspect, now that the railway has been opened, and the Eurasian railway is also about to open, the strategic position and economic status of the northwest will also be improved, it is a rare opportunity to go to the inspection.

Zhao Liewen actually didn't worry about his micro-service inspection, and Yin Youcai, who saw it, persuaded him, and immediately echoed: "The big shopkeeper inspects the northwest, which is a rare move to unite the people, and it also shows the importance that the imperial court and Yuan Qi attach to the northwest. ”

Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, "Since this is the case, then change the dark patrol to the bright patrol, send a telegram to the Jingshi, and let Su Shun and Wu Changqing come to Xi'an to meet." ”

Kyoshi, Prime Minister's Office.

Su Shun walked quickly into Yi Yi's office, and asked with a smile, "What does the sixth master command?" ”

"Yi Guocheng went to Xi'an." Yi Yi raised his head, took a telegram and handed it over: "He wants to inspect the northwest, and you and Wu Changqing will rush to Xi'an to meet." ”

Touring the Northwest? Su Shun frowned, why didn't he hear the other party mention it when he was in Shanghai? After reading the telegram, he pondered: "Could it be that the opening of the Eurasian Railway is imminent?" ”

"Anxi has been a province for some years, and it is indeed necessary for the imperial court to tour the west to reap the effect of deterrence and pacification, and now that the railway has also been built to Anxi, it is also convenient to tour west." Yi Yi said unhurriedly: "However, although the drought in the northern provinces has been alleviated, the post-disaster reconstruction is a thousand problems, and the drought in Shanxi is still serious. ”

What do you mean? Is it not agreed that he goes? Still don't agree with Wu Changqing to go? Su Shun said tentatively: "Then let Wu Xiang go, I will stay in Jingshi to assist the sixth master." ”

"You are the next prime minister designated by Yi Zhizhi, how can you not go?" Yi Yi said: "Discuss with Yi Guocheng and change someone." ”

"For whom?"

"Your Majesty." Yi Yi said: "The imperial court toured Anxi for the first time, and the emperor should go." ”

Emperor? Su Shun couldn't help but be stunned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, not to mention that the emperor and the queen mother may not be willing to tour the west with Yi Zhicontent, even if Yi Zhishu is content, he will definitely not be willing to tour the west with the queen mother and the emperor, isn't it nothing to do? After hesitating, he said, "I'm afraid Yi Guocheng won't agree." ”

"Even if it is constitutional, the Qing Emperor is also the supreme existence of my Qing Empire." Yi Yi said slowly: "Besides, the northwest is conservative, far less open than the coast, and Anxi is a newly built province, and the emperor personally inspects it, which is of greater significance." ”

Su Shun smiled bitterly and said, "Sixth Master doesn't think Yi Guocheng will believe this, right?" ”

"The emperor and Yi Guocheng inspected the northwest together, which is undoubtedly a signal of the convergence of the court and the opposition for the government and the opposition." Yi Yi said earnestly: "There are many suspicions in the northeast and the opposition, and this is a good opportunity to eliminate the suspicions of the people.

Moreover, the emperor cannot be completely furnished, and regular inspections in all directions will also help to enhance the cohesion of the country. More importantly, this move is conducive to consolidating the system of constitutional monarchy in the Qing Dynasty. ”

Su Shun clearly knew what the other party was worried about, this was worried that Yuan Qi would eventually destroy the Qing Dynasty and abolish the constitutional monarchy.

Sighing secretly, he said, "Is the sixth master sure to persuade the queen mother and the emperor?" ”

Yi Yi said: "The Empress Dowager Shengming, you should know that this move is conducive to easing the relationship with Yuan Qi, consolidating the emperor's throne, and extending the Qing Dynasty." ”

"I'll go to Xi'an first." Su Shun said in a deep voice, he knew that this kind of thing was better to talk about it in person.

Xi'an, Lantian and Wuzhuang.

On the runway of the airport, Yi Zhizu looked up at a silver-white plane flying in the sky, and secretly sweated in his heart, the reason was very simple, it was Yi Zhengde who flew the plane, although he knew that the current plane was dangerous, but he did not forcefully stop Yi Zhengde from flying.

The reason is also simple, Yi Zhengde loves to fly, and he has no way to stop it, unless he is transferred back to Shanghai, and moreover, as a scientific researcher, he can fly the plane himself, and he can find more problems and defects on the plane, including defects and problems in piloting operations.

It wasn't until the plane stopped steadily on the runway that Yi Zhengde, who was wearing a flight suit, jumped down from the cabin and lifted the hood, Yi Zhixin put his mind at ease and walked up quickly, Yi Zhengde smiled heartlessly: "Do you want to sit in it and feel it?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Yi Zhizhi nodded, and then climbed into the cabin, looking at the extremely simple cockpit, he was speechless to the extreme, it was even more simple than a car! In addition to the fuel gauge in the middle, there are several handles and foot pedals.

Closed the cabin cover and felt it, pushed open the cabin cover again, and beckoned to the outside world, Yi Zhengde, who was waiting, stretched out his head before he said: "Just a fuel meter?" How can it be simpler than a car? Why don't you have meters such as speed, altitude, and power? Indicator lights, right? You can't rely on experience for all pilots."

Yi Zhengde sneered: "I'm already starting to try ........" ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Liewen, who had been running all the way, said with some trepidation: "Big shopkeeper, won't you be .......?" ”

"Don't worry, I don't have the guts." Yi Zhizhi smiled: "The car can be tried, this thing really doesn't dare." ”

Needless to say, the invention of the seat belt also came from his guidance, and after feeling it slightly, he unfastened the seat belt and said: "The pilot is more precious than the aircraft, and the regulations on the use of the parachute must be strictly enforced, and the parachute must be able to open as soon as it is pulled."

Moreover, the seat of the cockpit should be equipped with an ejection device, and in case of danger, the driver should be able to eject out of the cockpit together with the seat, so as to ensure the safety of the pilot to the greatest extent.

And the canopy, which can be easily opened from the inside, is precious in the event of danger. ”

Yi Zhengde nodded again and again when he heard this, and then beckoned someone to come over to record, the ideas that the old man said casually could benefit them, I really don't know how he had so many strange ideas in his head.

Seeing that he stopped, Zhao Liewen reported: "Su Xiang has arrived in Xi'an." ”

So fast? Yi Zhixin couldn't help but be surprised, "Just him?" ”

Zhao Liewen nodded, "Yin Youcai said on the phone, just him, saying that he was in a hurry to see you." ”

"Let Yin Youcai send a car to send him over." Yi Zhizu commanded, and climbed out of the cabin as he spoke, thinking that Su Shun came in a hurry, there should be something to discuss.
