"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, Wang Dudu personally piloted bombers to sink the Japanese gunboats Eagle and Cloud Eagle!"

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the Japanese river fleet will be wiped out!"

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, bombers shock the world!"

……

The newsboys shouted the front-page headlines of the newspapers in their childish voices, carried a large newspaper bag on their backs, and waved a newspaper in their hands to sell it to passers-by.

"Give me one!"

"I want one too!"

……

Pedestrians on the street rushed to buy newspapers, and the newsboys were all smiling, and today's newspapers seemed to be particularly popular, and the newspapers in the large newspaper bags they carried on their backs were sold out in a short time.

At the same time as the newspapers were selling well, the citizens of Wuhan were also talking about it, and the topic of discussion among everyone in the teahouse hotel seemed to be the news of the total annihilation of the Japanese inland river fleet.

"It's a fucking pleasure! The gunboats were all blown up and sunk, and now look at how arrogant those little oriental radish heads are! ”

"Arrogant, don't you see that those Oriental people in the Hankou Concession have not dared to come out these days? Especially the Japanese ronin, who was arrogant and domineering in the past, if they dared to walk out of the Japanese concession, they might be dragged to a corner and beaten to death with their heads covered! ”

"Well said, I toast you! To hell with those would-be wrecks! ”

"it, to hell with those would-be robbers!"

……

The threat of Japanese gunboats shelling Wuhan no longer existed, which certainly made the citizens of Wuhan happy. However, what made them even more excited and excited was that for the first time, the Chinese defeated a foreigner fleet, even if it was only the inland gunboat detachment of the Orientals.

Since the Opium War, China has been bombarded open by one foreign warship after another, shattering the backbone and knees of the Chinese people, and signing one unequal treaty after another that is enough to leave a stench for 10,000 years.

The Chinese people went from hating to unwillingness, from disappointment to despair, and finally gradually became numb.

However, the total annihilation of the Japanese inland river detachment this time was like a heart booster, which made the compatriots of the Chinese who were already dead excited and excited.

"Go to Hubei to join the army. Learn to fly planes and bomb warships! ”

Countless young students across the country excitedly shouted such slogans and packed up and rushed to Hubei.

For such a situation, Wang Mo is of course happy to hear about it. Immediately set up Hubei Aviation Institute without hesitation to recruit flight students from all over the country.

In the hangar of Hubei Aeronautical College, Wang Mo showed the instructors of the aviation academy the various types of aircraft he had purchased from the industrial mother machine.

"Principal Situ, instructors, please see, this is an SE.5 fighter. This is a Fokker DR.1 fighter. Wang Mo pointed to the various types of aircraft lined up in the hangar and introduced, "This is the Salmsson 2A2 reconnaissance aircraft, this JN-4D training aircraft, this kind of training aircraft can be used for primary teaching in the aviation academy on weekdays." ”

Situ Biru, the new president of Hubei Institute of Aeronautics, and a group of instructors were all amazed, they really didn't expect Wang Mo to have so many planes of various types here, which is really a big deal.

Situ Biru served as an important assistant to Feng Ru, the first Chinese flyer, and had previously followed Feng Ru to join the Nanjing Provisional Government to form a flight reconnaissance team. Later, after Feng Ru died in a flight accident, Situ Biru and two other assistants, Zhu Zhuquan and Zhu Zhaohuai, had to disband the flight team because the dragons were leaderless.

When I learned the news that Wang Mo drove a bomber to sink the Japanese gunboat. Situ Biru, who still has an aviation dream in his heart, rushed back from the United States without hesitation, and hit it off with Wang Mo, who was desperately thirsty for aviation talents. As a result, he was immediately appointed by Wang Mo as the president of Hubei Aviation University, responsible for the specific preparations of the college.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Echo DH.4 bomber that sank the Japanese gunboat." Wang Mo walked up to the Echo DSH.4 bomber, patted the wings that were several meters long, and introduced it to everyone.

The Echo DH.4 bomber can be described as a World War I fame, and in a short period of time it became famous all over the world. The instructors, including Situ Biru, all had their eyes lit up, and they looked at the Aike DH.4 bomber with a fascinated expression.

"It's this kind of plane that sank two Japanese river gunboats, it's amazing. Doesn't that mean? As long as our country is equipped with a large number of such bombers, it will not be afraid of the fleet of foreigners? An instructor said with amazement and excitement.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

If it can not be afraid of the fleet of foreigners, it means that China has the capital to straighten its waist in front of foreigners. Have the ability to sweep away the decadence and stand tall among the world's great powers.

Although he didn't want to splash cold water on these people, Wang Mo still shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this is impossible, first, the range of the plane is not enough, and second, the load of the plane is not enough. Not to mention the battleships of foreigners, even ordinary destroyers, the Echo DH.4 bombers are far from being able to pose a threat to them. ”

Everyone was inevitably disappointed, and Situ Biru couldn't help but ask: "Dudu, where did you get these planes, did you buy them from foreigners, or did you have a team design and manufacture them?" ”

"Principal Situ, I understand what you mean. How the plane came from, I can't say it clearly. I can only tell you that we will definitely have aircraft capable of threatening foreign destroyers, battleships, and other warships, but it will take time. For now, you don't have to think too much about these things, the priority is to train enough good pilots. Wang Mo said.

Wang Mo said this, what other opinions could Situ Biru and the others have, after all, in their opinion, these are the sources of the most advanced aircraft in the world, and they must be the top secrets of the military government, and it is normal not to tell them when they are new to the city.

After visiting various types of aircraft, Wang Mo took a group of instructors from the Aviation Academy out of the hangar to check the specific situation of the college's flight student recruitment.

I have to say that the registration of the aviation academy is very popular, so much so that after Wang Mo, Situ Biru and others urgently discussed, they changed to recruit flight students in the form of recruitment.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the college's admissions office, and it seemed that someone was arguing about something.

"I came all the way from Sichuan, why didn't I sign up for the exam?"

"Don't be unreasonable, you haven't even finished secondary school, and you haven't received much new education since you were a child, so you don't meet the qualifications for the exam at all."

"Lao Tzu is a middle school that I haven't finished yet, but I have taught myself a lot of Western knowledge, why do you think I am not eligible to apply for the exam? Lao Tzu can tell you, your Wang Dudu is still our young marshal of the Sichuan army, Lao Tzu was an officer under the young marshal when he was in Sichuan! ”

"This is the rule of the academy, and it is also set by the royal governor, I really don't have the right to let you participate in this batch of recruitment."

……

The quarrel attracted a large group of students who came to apply for the aviation academy to watch, and there was a lot of discussion about such an unexpected situation.

Seeing the chaotic and noisy situation in the recruitment office, Situ Biru's face immediately became gloomy, and he stepped forward and shouted: "What kind of system is it to be noisy here!" ”

Situ Biru's sign as the principal is still very intimidating, and the crowd that was noisy just now suddenly became silent.

The person in charge of the recruitment office hurriedly walked over and reported to Situ Biru with a bitter face: "Principal Situ, it's not that I want to quarrel with this person, but that he is pestering me to participate in the recruitment examination, but he does not meet the application conditions. ”

Situ Biru shifted his gaze to the person who was arguing with the person in charge of the recruitment office, and was about to say something, but at this time, Wang Mo said with some surprise: "Are you ...... Chen Yifan? ”

It turned out that the person in charge of the recruitment office had a big quarrel with Chen Yifan, a young officer who had taken the Aike DH.4 bomber piloted by Wang Mo to the sky when he was at the Luzhou Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and was determined to learn to fly an airplane.

Seeing Wang Mo, Chen Yifan, who was arguing with the person in charge of the recruitment office just now, suddenly wilted, glanced at Wang Mo a few times with a weak heart, and then came to Wang Mo with a hard head, stood up and saluted: "Humble Chen Yifan, see the young marshal!" ”

For Chen Yifan, Wang Mo was still very impressed, after all, among so many officers, it was very rare for him to dare to take the plane piloted by Wang Mo to the sky.

"What, you want to go to the Aviation Academy?" Wang Mo smiled faintly and asked, "I remember when you told me that you wanted to learn to fly an airplane, and I told you that you should at least finish the middle school curriculum of the new education, and you finished it?" ”

"Also...... Not yet. Chen Yifan lowered his head, but then said, "However, young marshal, I have always had the middle school knowledge of Western studies by myself. As long as I am allowed to participate in the recruitment examination, I guarantee that I will pass the examination! ”

Since he has such enthusiasm and confidence, it doesn't hurt to let him try. Wang Mo turned his head to Situ Biru and the others and said, "Principal Situ, it should be my special approval, let Chen Yifan participate in the recruitment examination, okay?" ”

You said that it was a special approval, and you asked if it would work, Situ Biru secretly slandered a few words. However, of course, he couldn't refuse Wang Mo for this kind of trivial matter, so he nodded and said, "The young marshal has special approval, of course, you can participate in the recruitment examination." However, the assessment is all the same, and there can be no exceptions, after all, flying is not child's play. ”

Chen Yifan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "No problem, as long as I am allowed to participate in the recruitment examination, whatever happens!" ”

"That's good, Chen Yifan, I hope you can be successfully admitted to the Aviation Academy, and become a member of my aviation unit in the future, work hard!" Wang Mo took the opportunity to encourage Chen Yifan.

Wang Mo's encouragement made Chen Yifan very excited and excited, and with a "snap", he saluted Wang Mo again, and said loudly: "Yes, the humble position must live up to the expectations of the young marshal!" ”

At this time, a soldier from the Governor's Mansion walked into the Aviation Academy and reported something to Wang Erhu, and then Wang Erhu came over again, came to Wang Mo's side and whispered: "Young Marshal, several foreign envoys have arrived in the mansion and asked to see you immediately." ”

It seems that these foreigners are also in a hurry, especially the British and German ministers, who will probably be facing each other like two red-eyed bulls in his mansion.

The war clouds are gathering in Europe, and now is the time when the arms race is at its most intense, and whoever gets the bomber first will be one step ahead, and both the Allies and the Entente know this very well.

"After drying them for all these hours, it should be about the same." Wang Mo smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the house to slaughter fat sheep!" (To be continued.) )
