From April, the first to be completed, is three hydropower stations, with the help of German experts, before May, to complete the installation and commissioning of the generator set, has long been officially put into operation, become the main force of the power grid in western Sichuan, well, the old man Liu is high-spirited, has ordered to build three more.

Anyway, Liu Yun made preparations very early, the drawings of seven or eight hydropower stations in Maozhou City have long existed in the Liu family villa in West Sichuan County, and the old man can repair it as much as he wants, anyway, the more electricity and energy, the better, and when the all-out war of resistance breaks out and the coastal industry moves inward, the power gap will be large.

In May 1936, it was a bumper season, first of all, the Fucheng Railway was extended to the city, and then Ben Erix's engineering team, invited by Liu Xiang and Yin Changheng, participated in the construction of the Chengdu Railway. At the end of that month, the Fucheng Railway had been repaired to Guangyuan, and was warmly welcomed by the local military and civilians.

The situation in June was even better, and the Guangyuan Railway was officially opened. Ma Xingchi's railway engineering team, commissioned by Liu Xiang and Deng Xihou, began to build the railway from Guangyuan to Gannan County.

This is easy to do, Zhi Brain has stored a large number of topographic maps, which can be designed immediately, and after a few days, the drawings can be airdropped to Guangyuan. In addition, Liu Yun also wants to establish a northwest road network, and central cities such as Lanzhou, Xi'an and Yan'an are important support points.

In addition to the northwest road network, Liu Yun also prepared to build the southwest road network, focusing on reaching Kunming from Chengdu, Leshan, and through Dukou Town (Panzhihua), which had already obtained the consent of Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang, and at the "appeasement meeting" in Lushan, he also obtained the consent of Wang Longyun and others in Yunnan.

As for the railway project from Chengdu to Chongqing, Liu Xiang meant that the Sichuan Army would be completed independently, and the veteran general Yin Changheng would personally take command, which also saved Commander Liu a lot of effort, and just freed up Ben Erix's road repair team to be responsible for building the railway from Chengdu to Kunming.

However, Chairman Liu mentioned that he hopes that in the future, railway-related equipment, including rail studs, will be provided by the West Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant. Liu Sanye was also stunned, if it weren't for the hundreds of ants mining around the clock, even western Sichuan itself was short of steel, wouldn't there be a Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant?

The prime minister of the small kingdom in western Sichuan, Secretary Yin Qinlan is still very competent, and immediately took out a bunch of information, all of which are records about the Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant and the arsenal. Well, as early as the beginning of May, the main body was completed, and it began to operate at the end of May, with a daily output of 50 tons of iron, Liu Yun silently calculated in his heart, there are nearly 20,000 tons a year, not bad, but I don't know how to produce steel.

However, after looking for a long time in a large number of materials, he was stunned and did not find any records of steel production, when Liu Yun was wondering, Yin Qinlan handed him two official letters, and hurriedly took them over to take a look, and immediately smiled bitterly. First, the German experts sent Liu Xiang a report, only a few sentences, to the effect that several iron mines in Sichuan, with many impurities and low grade, are not suitable for steelmaking, well, only suitable for ironmaking.

The other is a letter of appointment issued by Liu Xiang to Liu Yun in the name of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, and from now on, Liu Yicheng will be the director of the Fucheng Iron and Steel Plant, and will be fully responsible for the military affairs of Fucheng.

Today is the day of the month, Commander Liu quietly turned his head and consulted Yin Qinlan, Prime Minister Yin told him that today is the 25th year of the Republic of China, June 29 of the Gregorian calendar, and the day after tomorrow is the time for the official graduation of the Air Force cadets, and he is waiting for him, the principal of western Sichuan, to issue a graduation certificate.

Fortunately, Liu Yun touched a cold sweat, and said in his heart, "Fortunately, it's still in time", before he could speak, Prime Minister Yin sent a lot of information, which made Commander Liu's eyes dazzled, and he really wanted to ask, "Little Miss Yin, are you going to murder your husband, send information in such a hurry."

Yin Qinlan may really have an opinion, so she explained with a stiff face, "After the screening of German instructors, there are only 497 students who meet the requirements for graduation this year, and all the information is here."

Liu Yun was also a little dizzy, how could this be done, he clearly remembered that the total number of Air Force cadets was 1,233 people, how could they only graduate by one-third, what is the reason, he couldn't care about Prime Minister Yin Cheng's face for a while, and took the information and flipped through it slightly, including 39 ace graduates, 182 elite graduates, and 276 ordinary graduates.

Commander Liu's face is also colorful, this is also too hanging, what are the aces, elites and ordinary after graduating from the Air Force, I don't know, I think this is the ancient imperial examination, one list and one first, champion, list eye and tanhua, two Jinshi and a few, three lists with a number of Jinshi.

Well, let's take a look at the ace students first, the theoretical test is not outstanding, and the flight assessment is only good, but in the actual combat simulation, it is basically five battles and five wins, and when the instructors are put right, the instructors are basically within the range of being shot down, and the most powerful of them is the "Seven Heroes of Western Sichuan".

The most outstanding thing about these seven people is that the record of being shot down is basically zero, and even the injuries are one or two shots, and the other 32 people, although they have also achieved five battles and five victories, but in many cases, they all died together with the instructors, and although the results of the battle are outstanding, they can only be regarded as commendable courage.

When looking at the information of the Seven Heroes in detail, Commander Liu found that it was a little interesting, these seven people just included the four forces, two each from the Central Army, the Sichuan Army and the Red Army, as well as one person from western Sichuan.

Liu Yun involuntarily glanced at Yin Qinlan, Miss Yin was expressionless, and just said lightly, "You guessed it right, he is my distant cousin, and he is a member of the old Yin family."

Liu Sanye had no choice but to smile bitterly, this is the case, the feudal dynasty has just ended, there are many big clans with a long history in China, and their relationship with each other is intertwined, it is not surprising that the Yin family appears near western Sichuan, after all, the Yin family is considered a wang clan in Sichuan, and it may be that they are too careful.

When Commander Liu was about to apologize to Yin Qinlan, Secretary Yin quietly left, well, forget it, no woman wants it, there are a lot of women competing with her for men, she happened to be a coincidence this time, except for Kong Yuling, everyone else is on the scene, and it is normal to make trouble.

The remaining trump cards, Liu Yun also roughly browsed, the two people sent by the Sichuan Army are surnamed Liu, and it is even more coincidental, they are called Liu Shilei and Liu Jianling, who are from Dayi County, Liu Xiang's hometown, if you guess correctly, this should be the rising star of the old Liu family, and it is a reserve talent of the old Liu family.

The two people sent by the Central Army are even more outrageous, one is called Kong Yanqing, the other is Jiang Zhilin, Liu Yun muttered in his heart, how can the talents of these years be inextricably linked to big families and celebrities, oops, it is really difficult to be an official, and you will offend people if you are not careful.

Look at the Red Army cadets again, one is called Luo Kuilan, I can't read the calendar, and I don't know him, and the other is called Tang Xuefei, how good is this, all of them are good young people who have no family power. Commander Liu suddenly froze, everything can't be seen on the surface, there are not many candidates who can reach the quality of pilots in these years, and most of their family backgrounds are either rich or expensive, not to mention that being in the Red Army is in danger of being killed, and most of these people use fake names.

With a stroke of Liu Yun's pen, thirty-nine ace trainees will each be rewarded with a fighter plane, and it is guaranteed to be sent to the designated location, of course, such as Tianjin, Shandong and other places, please let the students transport it themselves, fortunately, there are many domestic airports, and they can be transferred to different stations.

For example, the Central Army will be able to increase the number of flight brigades and be stationed in Wuhan, so that Nanjing can concentrate on taking care of coastal cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou.

However, the Red Army was able to form its own air force, which directly led to the Ma Jiajun, Yan Xishan, Zhang Yang and other forces having to speed up the construction of their own air force, thus bringing about changes in the situation in the entire northwest.

At that time, the Jianjiao aircraft produced in western Sichuan will be all over the northwest and southwest, and perhaps even Sheng Shicai, who is far away in Xinjiang, will have to buy a few, so that Liu Yun's big air force plan, even if it is initially successful, well, it seems that the next enrollment should focus on the northwest and southwest regions.

However, everything is still too early, and Commander Liu has also thought about it, and properly handling these graduates is the most important thing. These qualified trainees are important, but those who are not qualified are also important, they are all future ground crews, or maintenance personnel, and can even make cameo bomb crews in case of emergency, but these various assumptions will have to wait until he understands them clearly.

Before Commander Liu could think about it completely, Yin Qinlan threw a pile of account books to him again, Liu Yun laughed, but had to flip through the account books slightly, all of which were deficit accounts over the years. Not to mention anything else, the living expenses of the flight cadets alone have to lose tens of thousands of oceans every day, which is more than 4 million oceans a year, and the social welfare of the Western Sichuan Prefecture is a terrifying pit.

is about to run out of ammunition, which is the reason why Secretary Yin really blackfaces. Liu Yun was also surprised, he remembered that Chairman Liu of the Sichuan Army, didn't he order the equipment of more than ten divisions, which is equivalent to tens of millions of oceans, how can he say that it is gone, is it because he remembered wrongly, or the Sichuan army did not give money.

Yin Qinlan rolled her eyes, and settled the account 1510, over the years, under the name of Commander Liu, the army alone was as high as 50,000 or 60,000, and it was also engaged in all kinds of infrastructure construction, especially nearly 1,000 kilometers of railways, basically relying on the money paid by the family in western Sichuan, and it was not easy to survive to this day.

The more Commander Liu listened, the more headache he felt, it was really like spending money, it was still very easy to build a western Sichuan County in the past, as long as the ant robot was dispatched, anything could be done, and it could also be divided into welfare houses, or villas and the like, free power supply at every turn, and also encouraged various industries to use electricity, such as cement factories that consume large amounts of electricity. It's really naïve to think about it now, do you want to cancel the benefits?

welfare, that's a question worth thinking about. Forget it, it is better to hand it over to Kong Caishen's father and daughter to work hard, Liu Yun asked Yin Qinlan directly about Pang Taishi's "railway investment bank", and the result was unexpected, and it is still in preparation, because many big families want to join.

Due to the absence of Commander Liu, the king of western Sichuan, no one listened to what Pang Taishi said, and even the Kong consortium in Hankou was a little ambiguous, Pang Xuezhong had no choice but to set up the West Sichuan Railway Bank Office next to the Maozhou Municipal Government, and he did his own business and continued to build roads.
