54. Wood makes airplanes

Fifty-four pieces of wood make airplanes

Lawrence's wait was not in vain, he finally waited for the first batch of 100,000 Daknin on the market, Quinn received a piece of jewelry that surprised his wife, and with a stroke of his pen, he sold the goods according to the normal tax, but the most dissatisfied was still Kane, after Xiao Luo Luo saw that this medicine was so profitable, he left Kane who was so hard to leave and immediately went to the headquarters of the Yang Shen Bank in Seattle to take office, and he said that he wanted to supervise the flow of funds, so angry that Kane scolded, Jews are really money-seeking, and they don't even care about their husbands for money.

The only consolation for him was that the four gold mining ships had been launched ahead of schedule, and when they reached the port of Anchorage, they traveled upstream, and soon arrived at the land that Kane had bought. Unfortunately, the most they could do was to set up a shed at the gold mining site and transport the equipment to the site, because they couldn't stay there all winter, and they had to wait until the snow melted the next year before they could pan for gold.

Lawrence, who won the championship at the National Auto Show, got a lot of orders, but Kane's design of the Yang Shen Jeep had to be completed, so he had to open two lines of production at the same time, of course, in return, Kane gave him a pickup information.

Kane plans to build his assault battalion of five or six hundred men into a rapid reaction force, all Chinese in the United States, with 14 people in each squad, divided into two combat groups, each group of seven people, equipped with a sniper rifle, a large revolver, two YS40 automatic rifles, and a light machine gun. Both the revolver and the light machine gun deputy are equipped with folding automatic rifles. Such a squad has a sniper, a light machine gun, a semi-automatic howitzer, four automatic rifles, seven semi-automatic rifles. Each platoon is equipped with three Yangshen jeeps, one is a YS40 heavy machine gun and ammunition vehicle, one is a 14.5 Gaoping machine gun vehicle, and the other is an automatic howitzer vehicle. If possible, six Janssen Jeeps were added to each row, so that there would be ten Jeeps in the full row. Each company had as many as 40 vehicles, because the company headquarters also had to have medical vehicles, cooking vehicles, ammunition supply vehicles, etc. If it's mountain warfare, then everyone has to bring their own ammunition supplies, light and heavy machine guns! So now the first thing these 500 people are training is mountain warfare.

Kane singled out more than 300 people, led by more than 30 members of the special combat team, and asked Lawrence to send them to various naval units as bench members in the name of interns. It is estimated that in two years, it will be completely competent!

According to Kane's temperament, he is prepared for land, sea and air, but unfortunately due to the constraints of the British Empire, he wants to build a navy and air force is just a dream, because the existing army in the entire Canadian region is only 4,700 people, and an army equivalent to the size of China is only 4,700 people.

It's also fortunate that it's far away from the little devils, otherwise the devils will come to a wing, and this area will have to be reimbursed! No way, Kane had to do it secretly! It just so happened that a 10,000-ton ship had been launched at the shipyard in Trowood, and it began to relocate all kinds of unnecessary equipment in the shipyard in advance. Kane took the opportunity to buy a large amount of shipbuilding equipment in the United States and transport it across the Channel.

The whole shipyard was divided into two, and the construction of the base began in a large hole dug in the south, which was one of Kane's magic weapons, and the workers and designers were all Chinese. Two slipways started at the same time, if you want to do it, you can do the best, Kane gave the drawings of a real submarine in the shape of a whole drop, this guy also opened a separate laboratory in the weapons design center, he wants to make an oxygen mine, a kind of craziest torpedo! Not one of them!

Next to the second port in the bay, when the two icebreakers of Yang Shen Shipyard were equipped with keels, Trowood looked like he was building a large destroyer, but now he has sold himself to the boss, and he has to suppress all kinds of voices below, the boss can do whatever he wants, and the sky will fall and there will be Kane on top!

Williams's team deserves to be a big deal, after spending a lot of money, all kinds of materials have been made, Kane first asked them to divide into two teams, one of which is to design two kinds of high-power gas turbines according to the drawing, this is a big project, no one Kane had to poach people from Chinese scientists.

The first aircraft engine to be given is the highest model 'Greyback Falcon 77', which is a two-speed two-stage supercharged engine, designed to make the aircraft the king of high altitude and high speed, and it is commendable that Captain Williams had to leave precisely because he had a falling out with those granite heads in the upper British when designing the Greyback Falcon (also called Merlin) XX, and now there are 7.0 drawings that are several grades higher than the 2.0 version, how can you not roll up your sleeves and do a big job?

In fact, as long as the propeller engine is made of materials and design, it is quite easy to build, this is not a high-tech product such as turboshaft and turbofan, Kane believes that as long as they make the Grayback Falcon 7.7, the next Merlin V-1650 is not a difficult thing, both are two-speed two-stage supercharging, in fact, the Grayback Falcon 77 alone is also the most advanced engine at present.

Although not as powerful as the Merlin engine, it can fly a bomber to more than 700 kilometers per hour! Of course, the engine, as the heart of the aircraft, is not achieved overnight, and there must be a gradual process, but Kane is clever, and directly launches the last two models!

As the engine began to be manufactured, Kane had to figure out how to build the fuselage of the plane, he took the snake eye to the southernmost miscellaneous forest, pointed to the various trees in front of him and said, "I always think that the trees here are a bit of an eyesore, do you think you can see more sawing off and planting some fruit trees?" In the future we will be able to produce all kinds of canned fruits."

Snake Eyes saw that Kane had pointed to the mountain, and said in surprise, "Are you going to cut even the mountain?" That's government territory! Kane said mysteriously, "Anyway, no one is coming, who will talk if I secretly cut something?" You must know that too dense the woods can cause wildfires."

"But why do you want so much wood?" Kane said, "Aluminum is so expensive now, I have to think of building some planes to sell!" "Airplanes? Made of wood? Are you crazy or am I stupid? ”

"Who is crazy, I don't know that wood is cheap? Besides, these woods only cost manpower at all, don't spend money to buy, how profitable is this? Snake Eyes shook his head, "Still crazy!" ”

Kane soon set up a forestry processing factory, known as Yang Shen Furniture Factory, but they never sold a piece of furniture, and all the light wood was cut into pieces of veneer, and then made into plywood with glue and dried for later use.

Kane fantasized that the plane he built was galloping in the sky, constantly shooting enemy planes, no, it is not enough to have a plane without a good gun, and now the US military's 12.7M2 machine gun has good performance, but Kane does not think much of it, and the firepower is not fierce enough, so he has to get a good gun.

Back to the machine factory, I handed over the drawings of a three-barreled machine gun to my father, old Billy looked at the drawings, and for a long time, "What are you kid thinking about all day long, this has just created a 14.5 murder demon, and now he has made a large-caliber Gatling, however, I still agree with creating a high-power weapon to kill the Japanese, old guys, business is coming to the door, come and see the drawings, my son made a big killing weapon, 3000 bullets a minute!" ”

Kane couldn't help but be crooked in his heart, when the time comes, our planes will be equipped with this, and the assault battalion will also have a good vehicle-mounted machine gun and warship? There is no limit to the tonnage on it, and when the time comes, there will be more machine guns and turntable guns, no matter what aircraft torpedoes he has, how many bombs he will come!
