As we all know, Dr. Sun Yat-sen liked to fire empty cannons, and once threatened to build 200,000 kilometers of old railways within 10 years.

Well, this somewhat illusory goal has not been achieved until Zhou Hexuan crossed over (2017).

But it is undeniable that China's national aviation industry originated from the hands of Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

At the beginning of 1913, overseas Chinese in the United States established the China Aircraft Manufacturing Company in the United States, made the first airplane and successfully tested it by Tan Gen. Sun Yat-sen immediately summoned Tan Gen and related personnel to return to China to serve. Subsequently, Sun Yat-sen ordered people to set up an aircraft factory, designed and built an airplane in Guangzhou, and then opened an aviation school to train talents.

Although the Beiyang government also set up an aviation bureau at that time, it was all purchased from foreign countries, and only Sun Yat-sen pioneered the Chinese to design and build aircraft on their own, and China's national aviation industry was born.

Since 1921, China has opened up a number of civil routes, which can basically be taken by plane to all major cities in the country. For example, if Zhou Hexuan wants to go from Tianjin to Chongqing, he can first take a train to Beiping, then fly from Beiping to Chengdu (Harmony), and then take a car to Chongqing.

It's just that Zhou Hexuan feels that the plane in this era is unreliable, and he is afraid of falling from the sky in the middle of the flight, so he would rather take the train slowly every time he goes out.

After the outbreak of the "128 Incident," Japanese planes bombed Shanghai indiscriminately, causing China to lose tens of millions of yuan, and the Zhabei area was even bombed into ruins. The Chinese government and people finally felt the pain on their skin, and thus set off a huge "aviation national salvation movement".

The "China Aviation Association" mentioned by Zhang Xueliang was formed during that movement, and its original name was "China Aviation Salvation Association". It is not a government agency, but a non-governmental patriotic organization jointly initiated by the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and representatives from all walks of life.

The relevant government agency is called the "National Aviation Construction Association", which was proposed and approved by Song Ziwen at the Central Political Conference, and has since begun to vigorously build China's aviation industry.

Well, the word "vigorously" should be put in quotation marks, and the money was used by Lao Chiang to expand the army, and the development of aviation can only ask the people for money - to raise donations!

For example, the education circles in Hunan called on "primary school students in the province to donate one dime, middle school students to donate five jiao, and college students to donate one yuan" to purchase the "Hunan Student". The Guangzhou Women's Congress held a general meeting to raise funds to purchase an airplane, which was named "Guangzhou Women". Hangzhou's medical and lawyers' associations each donated money to purchase an airplane......

There are various names of airplanes, for example, the planes in Zhejiang have "Zhejiang Salvation", "Zhejiang Zheng", and "Zhexue", and the planes in Shanghai have "Shanghai", "Hutong", "Huxiao", "Hushang" and "Hugong".

The planes in the name of the local government belong to the people's donations, the names of "school", "school", and "children" belong to student donations, and the names of "government" belong to civil servants, and so on.

Anyway, from 1932 to the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, it was very popular among Chinese people to donate money to buy airplanes. Moreover, these donations are mainly controlled by the trade associations, which directly buy airplanes and donate them, so as to avoid corruption by government officials.

While calling for donations to build an air force, China has also hired German experts to help build an air defense system. Lao Jiang is really not stupid, he has been engaged in air defense propaganda in the past few years, and big cities such as Shanghai, Beiping, Tianjin, Wuhan, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Changsha have already dug air-raid shelters, and the government has organized the people to learn how to take refuge in air defense.

The pressure that Japan has put on China is too great!

Since the September 18 Incident, a nationwide fund-raising campaign has also been launched in Japan, with workers, prostitutes, and prisoners enthusiastically donating money, and within a year they purchased 64 planes for the Japanese Government and organized them into the "Patriotic Flying Wing." If you say that Japanese civilians are innocent, just look at their civilian donations, warships, planes, tanks, ...... I don't know how much the Japanese people donated.

Although China and Japan have not yet started a full-scale war, the people of the two countries have already set off a fundraising war!

In early June, Zhou Hexuan arrived in Nanjing.

The Nanjing Air Defense Exhibition opened at the Public Stadium and had three venues, namely the First Park, the Public Stadium and the People's Education Hall.

"Mr. Zhou, please!"

At half past seven in the morning, a special car came to the hotel to greet him, and Zhou Hexuan is now also enjoying the treatment of a government official.

Meng Xiaodong took Zhou Hexuan's arm and sat in the car with infinite scenery. Since Zhou Hexuan's private life was revealed last year, Meng Xiaodong and the others no longer have to hide anything, and they show themselves as Mrs. Zhou wherever they go.

The car soon arrived at the Nanjing Stadium, which was already crowded with many citizens waiting in line to check their tickets. Zhou Hexuan and the others naturally didn't have to queue up, and the car drove directly through the special passage and stopped until they arrived at the parking spot on the side of the rostrum.

Representatives from 13 provinces and municipalities across the country attended the exhibition, as well as representatives of various military academies, government organs, schools, and nongovernmental organizations. When the activities in Nanjing are completed, other major provinces and cities will also continue to do so, and in any case, they will popularize air defense knowledge throughout the country -- by the way, call on the people to raise donations to buy airplanes.

As soon as Zhou Hexuan walked to the rostrum, someone came over and shook hands warmly and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou, the contemptible person is Yang Jie, director of the National Air Defense Commission!" ”

"Hello Director Yang." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Yang Jie took the initiative to shake hands with Meng Xiaodong again, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhou's old student sings really well, I am your loyal fan." ”

"Where, where, Director Yang is polite." Meng Xiaodong said with a smile.

Yang Jie is not an ordinary passerby, this gentleman has been the chief of staff of Lao Jiang since the Central Plains War, and he is also the chief of staff of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War and the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army in North China.

The "Xifengkou Victory" was fought under the command of Yang Jie, who planned to abandon the front-line position and lure the enemy to go deep and encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, but this plan was rejected by He Yingqin. Not only that, He Yingqin also dismissed Yang Jie from his post under the pretext of lying about the military situation, which led to a mess in the subsequent stage of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.

Until He Yingqin signed the traitorous treaty "Hemei Agreement", Yang Jie was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "It's just a traitor of Chiguoguo, and the imbecile is so bad that it can't be sold (it can't be sold at a good price)!" ”

It can be seen that Yang Jie is a staunch "main battle faction". And Zhou Hexuan is frantically promoting that there will be a war between China and Japan, so Yang Jie has a good impression of Zhou Hexuan, and even treats Meng Xiaodong with courtesy.

Zhou Hexuan asked, "Director Yang, I heard that you are responsible for the deployment of the planes purchased with donations now?" ”

"I'm in charge." Yang Jie smiled wryly, and added in his heart: It won't be me soon.

Yang Jie's current position is very high, he is the deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing headquarters, and the acting chief of staff, and is also in charge of the city's fortress and air defense affairs throughout the country. Yang Jie was already planning to resign from the post of director of the National Air Defense Committee because he had a very unpleasant quarrel with some people.

The situation is like this, when Yang Jie inspected the newly bought planes, he found that they were modified with scrapped aircraft, so he went to Chang Kaishen to complain. It just so happened that these planes were bought by Song Meiling and Kong Xiangxi, and Chang Kaishen avoided dealing with them, so angry that Yang Jie planned to resign and not do it.

That's the plane that the people donated money to buy!

Historically, Yang Jie offended Song Meiling and Kong Xiangxi and attracted the revenge of the other party. Not long after, Song Meiling hinted at the Chen Guofu brothers and He Yingqin, accusing Yang Jie of embezzling public funds for national defense fortifications. Lao Jiang then shot the quartermaster and deputy chief of the city fortress, and removed Yang Jie from his position as the head of the city fortress and the acting chief of staff.

Yang Jie belonged to the rare generals of the Nanjing National Government, and since then he has been in a slump and difficult to be reused.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Yang Jie was ordered to visit the Soviet Union and strive for 100 million rubles of arms to form 20 Soviet armament divisions, and attached a Soviet aviation team to aid China. Immediately afterwards, he won another $250 million in materials and loans, which can be regarded as a great contribution to the Anti-Japanese War.

In 1940, Yang Jie returned to China and proposed to Lao Jiang the suggestions and specific combat tactics of the War of Resistance against the Soviet Union, but Lao Jiang gave him a copy of "The Complete Works of Zeng Wenzhenggong" for him to read. Yang Jie was so angry that he played mahjong for three months, and then wrote a random article after reading it, so angry that Lao Jiang lost his temper, and completely left Yang Jie idle.

By the time of the Liberation War, Yang Jie had become the leader of the "Kuomintang Revolution" in the southwest region, specializing in planning the uprising in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Kangshu Province, and was assassinated by Lao Chiang.

Chang Kaishen was able to force his chief of staff for many years to finally choose to join the Communist Party, but he really didn't know what to say.
