Zhang Yi continued: "Then if we start production now, how many planes can be built and produced in a year?" ”

Wilburlet lowered his head and began to ponder, and said after a long time: "Mr. President, if you want to start production now, you need to build a large factory first, which is difficult to achieve in a short period of time, it will take at least half a year to be fully prepared, of course, we can also take the opportunity to train a group of skilled workers within half a year to assemble and produce, and start production after half a year, and by this time next year, we can produce thirty such aircraft!" ”

Zhang Yi frowned, this is a troublesome matter, the current time simply does not allow them to produce for such a long time. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

Zhang Yi asked: "Dear Mr. Wilbur, we urgently need the weapon of the aircraft to participate in our next Great Patriotic War, you must know that in the next three months, the Western powers may be about to launch a war of aggression against China, as a weak side, if we have this kind of weapon, he will definitely become the key to turning the tide of the war for us, so do you have any other ways to speed up our process?" ”

Wilbur shrugged his shoulders and said: "Mr. President, this is not very likely, after all, the formation of our factory is not achieved overnight, it takes time, we need a plant, we need to buy equipment, we need to install and debug equipment, we also need to purchase a large number of parts, we need to have a large number of ordnance enterprises or heavy industry enterprises to participate in it, these things are too complicated, once it is put into mass production, your country's technology is too backward, to be honest, if it is in the United States, it is possible to complete such a thing in two or three months." China? How far is it now? ”

Zhang Yi smiled proudly and said: "Mr. Orwell, what you said, I understand, today's United States is indeed stronger than China, science and technology is more advanced, but you should not underestimate our China, now with the help of your country and Germany, we have established a huge heavy industry system, especially the military industry, we have our own machine factory, our own machinery factory, our own automobile factory and even the most important engine factory in aircraft production, since in your country, can be put into production within two or three months, There is no problem in China, two and a half months, I, Zhang Yi, must build the aircraft factory! ”

Wilbur hesitated: "Mr. President, are you sure that China has such strength?" Science is not child's play, and there can be no mistakes. ”

Zhang Yi replied, "Mr. Orville, you wait and see. However, although some of our subordinates are people, they are all laymen in aircraft manufacturing, they are all hard work, I need you to personally guide the construction of their factory, and I also need you to provide us with a list of materials that we need to purchase to build the factory, so that it can be done. ”

Wilbur replied: "Mr. President, this is not a problem, now the twenty students you have transferred to me are fully qualified for these jobs, and even the guard battalion you sent to defend us, because of their frequent contact with aircraft, and even some of them have been selected by us as test pilots, have become outstanding talents in this industry, and they can fully know the construction work of the factory!" Moreover, when the time comes, I will temporarily hand over our research and development work to my younger brother Orville, and I will temporarily take time out to tutor and train those workers! ”

Xu Huaijin said on the side: "Instructor, since we are too short of time now, I think we might as well choose a place, clean up a factory nearby, and carry out large-scale transformation, so that it can be put into use soon, at the same time, although it is difficult to train technicians, but we can send a group of backbone workers to heavy machinery factories and arsenals in advance, they have an excellent foundation in machinery manufacturing, and only need to give them a preliminary training, I believe they can all be put into production. As for the workers in the future, they can be recruited slowly, and we will set this period of time first, and then we will have priorities. ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Huai Jin, what you said makes sense, then where do you think it is more appropriate for us to choose the address of the aircraft factory?" Let me remind you first of all that in the future, our aircraft factory will occupy a very huge area, and its factory area may be even larger than that of the automobile factory, and this is our key project, which is still in a state of top secret, we must produce in a relatively secret environment, and strictly guard against spies from various countries! ”

Xu Huaijin frowned and said, "Instructor, I suggest choosing the military camp!" Directly transform the barracks into an aircraft factory, in the new people! The forces of Ziyu's two regiments were stationed there, and the barracks of one of the regiments were all taken over, and all the troops were transferred to Shengjing for other arrangements, and the other regiment happened to take over the defense of the aircraft factory! ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and replied: "No, if it is ten years later, your idea is very good, but not now, Xinmin is now making our economic development zone, where there are many enterprises from various countries stationed there, and the security of information can be guaranteed!" ”

Wu Peifu replied: "Instructor, how about we arrange it in Jinzhou?" It is close to the sea, and when the time comes, you can fly directly over it, and it is not too far from our coal and steel complex, and it is very convenient to purchase raw materials and production components, and there are also two regiments of troops stationed there, so we can still transfer one regiment, and then the other regiment will take over the defense task! ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Okay, then do it!" We chose to be in Jinzhou, Huaijin, and you will give the order as soon as you go back. ”

Xu Huaijin hurriedly agreed.

Zhang Yi continued: "It seems that I am going to extort a sum of money from Qiao Yingxia again, alas, the investment of this aircraft factory is even more." ”

Xu Huaijin hurriedly asked: "Instructor, Mr. Wilbur, may I ask, how much does this aircraft factory need to invest?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled and looked at Wilbur.

Wilbur mused: "It doesn't cost too much money to build a small-scale factory, only one million dollars is enough, if you want to build a large-scale factory, then it is not necessarily, I think we need three or four million dollars of investment!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, such a big investment!

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, four million US dollars, but it is a little difficult to raise, even Qiao Yingxia's Shengjing Bank, I am afraid it is difficult to raise so much money in a short period of time, after all, in recent times, the scale of Shengjing Bank's lending is too large, just the Fengtian government, the funds taken in Shengjing Bank should exceed more than 20 million taels of silver, plus the loans of Fengtian people, it is close to the limit of Shengjing Bank. "Two million dollars!"
