On May 24, 1914, Anqing was as hot as a dog day in early summer, and more than a dozen earthen jars were placed in the office of the Military Advisory Office, which contained ice cubes accumulated in winter.

In the living room of the Military Advisory Mansion, the crowd was weaving, and it was more lively than rushing to the market, and one after another persuaded Chai Dongliang to enter Beijing, and kept Gu Weijun, who was in charge of reception, busy.

"Mr. Gu, the matter of Chaidudu taking over as president cannot be delayed any longer, and it will change later! The people in the world are waiting to be fed, and 90,000 miles of China can't be ownerless! ”

"Mr. Gu, although you are the leader of the Democratic Constitutional Party, the Democratic Constitutional Party and our Kuomintang are broken bones and tendons, and I treat you as my own??? Which one is this singing? You can't rely on his surname, you are the confidant of the governor, he is confused, you have to advise! ”

The members of the National Assembly have been stretched out for more than a month, and they can't hold back, especially the members of the Kuomintang, who have asked Chai Dongliang to go to Yanjing quickly to take over the presidency of Yuan Shikai. They also figured it out, if Chai Dongliang had been refusing to enter Beijing, something might have happened. No matter what, Chai Dongliang is now the acting chairman of the Kuomintang, and he is considered his own person, since he is his own person, then everything is easy to discuss.

At the beginning, Sun Wen used the gendarmerie to coerce the Senate, and the members of the Senate also obediently obeyed orders!

However, Yuan Shikai will definitely not succeed in learning this set. Sun Wen was the leader of the League at that time, and Yuan Shikai was a foreigner??? Only the alliance will set fires, and the Beiyang will not be allowed to light the lamps.

Sun Wen's coercion of the Congress belongs to the internal contradiction of the Alliance, and Yuan Shikai's comparison with the gourd painting scoop belongs to the contradiction between the enemy and himself. Since Sun Wen was allowed to have power comparable to that of the emperor at the beginning, how can he now ask Chai Dongliang, who succeeded as chairman of the Kuomintang, to be a rubber stamp?

Kuomintang veteran Zhang Ji and others came forward to have a secret conversation with Gu Weijun in private, and the Kuomintang and the Democratic Constitutional Party unanimously proposed that on the grounds that the war between the two sides had not yet ended, Chai Dongliang was urged to enter Beijing as soon as possible, and at the same time promised not to revise the constitution ordered by Yuan Shikai for the time being, but to restore the old parliament, the 800 Arhats could not be left without a place to get money.

This little request, Gu Weijun naturally agreed. More than 600 of the 800 Arhats in the National Assembly came to Anqing, including more than 460 members of the Kuomintang, accounting for more than 70 percent, and the newly formed Democratic Constitutional Party will certainly occupy a certain number of seats in the National Assembly.

Chai Dongliang was not in a hurry, he either hid at home drinking tea and chatting, or was invited to give speeches at several universities in Anqing, Wuhu, Jiujiang, and Nanchang. Especially at Jiujiang Naval University and Anqing Army Non-commissioned Officer School, he has to go almost once a week. Fortunately, the highways in Anhui and Jiangxi are well built, and Chai Dongliang's Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost is quite powerful, so that he will not be physically exhausted because of the fatigue of the saddle horse.

Chai Dongliang knew one thing in his heart, the constitution that Yuan Shikai engaged in was too nonsense, and the KMT parliamentarians had no opinion at present, which did not mean that they would not desperately resist in the future, especially the article that the current president could nominate the next president, and it was written in the Golden Treasure Room in the Golden Harvest Golden Jane, which was simply a copy of the secret reserve of the Qing Dynasty.

Yuan Shikai's super presidential system and the Kuomintang's extreme congressional system do not have anything to be used for. Chai Dongliang had to lament that the Chinese had read the books of the sages for 2,000 years in vain, and had completely forgotten the golden mean of Confucius who was "impartial and committed to dual-use". When one side gains the momentum, it must be killed, and instead of forcing the other party into a corner, the dog jumps over the wall and scatters in two.

Today is relatively leisurely, Chai Dongliang hid at home and did not come out, thinking that he could steal a half of his life, but he received a long-distance call from Yu Qiaqing from Shanghai.

"Boss Yu, what's the matter? The British want to buy our 'Huaxia' aircraft? Private companies? What do private companies want to buy fighter planes for??? Sell, how can I not give you Boss Yu's face? So-so 100,000 silver dollars a rack, expensive? If it's too expensive, they don't want to buy it??? I can only sell export models here, yes, the all-wood fuselage, and the engine is a V-eight petrol engine, the kind used in the Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith car. Why use a wooden body? Why gasoline engines? Aren't metal planes and aviation kerosene expensive, save some money for foreign devils??? Besides, besides, this kind of export-oriented ones are not sold??? In the future, no matter which country wants to buy aircraft, we will sell it, but it will all be implemented according to this! You can rest assured that you can boldly quote this price, and they will buy it! ”

Chai Dongliang hung up the phone, secretly amused in his heart. Based on their own understanding of the British, John Bull's surname of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, if they do not suffer a few losses, they will definitely not think that the aircraft is a weapon with practical value, and if the British buy it, it can be completely in the name of the military, why use civilian companies! In this era, when the capitalist free economy was most recognized, Dreadnought-class battleships could be bought at will, and as long as the money was paid, the navies of the producing countries would help you arm and escort them.

Carrying a sword is the unanimous philosophy of almost all industrial countries. This concept must not be considered a mistake, if there is no continuous order to support it, where is the company interested in scientific and technological research and development?

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zaixun and Cheng Biguang went overseas to buy warships, and all the countries they went to received the purchasing group of the Qing Dynasty's political axes with the highest courtesy. To put it bluntly, he took a fancy to the silver of the Qing Kingdom.

Of course, there are some key technologies that are impossible to sell, such as the armor-piercing bullet technology that I have always wanted to get, but the British are unwilling to transfer it. If he had armor-piercing technology, the threat to the Royal Navy would be too great.

It is estimated that Xiao Yue wanted to buy it and imitate it, right? After all, there is a British alliance, and he himself also has intelligence agencies in Britain, so it is very possible to use British private companies to help him come forward and buy a few planes and engines.

The structure and shape of the aircraft of this era were very simple, and it was very easy to imitate. Even if the shape is imitated, but the engine can they imitate? Not to mention the V-shaped twelve-cylinder Eagle engine, it is the kind of V-shaped eight-cylinder, I'm afraid to buy it back and disassemble it, and whether I can have the ability to reinstall it is a problem. Even if the shape and structure of the engine are imitated, without a solid material industry as a foundation, a knock-off engine may be a pilot's nightmare. Do you plan to use the crude steel used in construction to build the engine?

Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, the reason why it has a level beyond Tongji, can dominate the European and American high-end car market, V-shaped eight-cylinder engine is the key to the key, the main thing about the surname of the engine is to depend on the alloy technology and the level of production industry, how many European and American manufacturers try to imitate in vain, not to mention that the technology lags behind Europe and the United States for many years.

Chai Dongliang estimated that this deal could not be negotiated, and even if it was negotiated, it would be a one-shot deal. The core of the plane is the engine, no matter how stupid it is, I will know that the engine is the kind used by the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost when I buy it back and take it apart. This kind of engine can be obtained by buying a car and disassembling and modifying it, and it is impossible to let him not get it, and the shape and structure of the aircraft are not a secret.

What really needs to be kept strictly secret is the technology of aluminum alloy, and the material industry is the foundation and top priority of the entire industrial system.

However, the V-shaped twelve-cylinder Eagle engine, as well as the technology of aluminum alloy, Chai Dongliang will not transfer it unless he is brainless. This kind of thing can only be sold as a finished product, and it is never possible to transfer technology.

According to the information provided by the book friend group, Chai Dongliang clearly knew that the material industry of the book was only strengthened after the First World War. That is because after World War I, Germany was restricted in the research and development of the military industry, and in the last resort, the technology of the material industry was exchanged for the support of countries such as the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union acquired a large number of cutting-edge technologies, and German officers were able to train in these countries with great pomp, and the German tank units were trained in Montenegro. The famous Zero fighter in World War II obtained the technology of the German Junker company, especially the technology of aluminum alloy.

However, I also have to admire Xiao Yueben's imitation ability, Sumitomo Steel Company obtained aluminum alloy technology, and improved it, and developed super-hard aluminum alloy, which has the scenery of the Zero fighter. So much so that in the early days of the Pacific War, the United States had to issue regulations prohibiting single-aircraft challenges to the Zero.

I have to say that I am talented in imitation, and their imitations tend to be of better quality than the prototype, rather than a simple copycat. Until the 21st century, Sumitomo's high-grade aluminum alloy and seamless steel pipes used in deep well oilfields are the best in the world, especially the seamless steel pipes are known as the Rolls-Royce of steel pipes, the price is ten times higher than similar products, and it is still in short supply, almost monopolizing the world's high-end seamless steel pipe market.

The aluminum alloy ratio provided by Chai Dongliang to the aircraft R&D center is the result of improving Sumitomo's superduralumin during World War II.

If you want to defeat an opponent, you must understand him, and just shouting and shouting will not do anything except fool yourself.

He said that he has a religious obsession with perfection in details, and his requirements for quality are often excellence. Moreover, there is a kind of "master craftsman" worship since ancient times, and the craftsmen with excellent skills are quite respected. In contrast, the Chinese have a sense of getting by, and have always been contemptuous of craftsmen. If a craftsman earns a few spare money, the first thing to consider is to send his children to study and become officials, rather than passing on his skills.

However, I often have a narrow vision of the details, ignoring the overall situation, and it is easy to get into a dead end. Chai Dongliang knows a very funny example, two thousand years ago, the whole world was worshipping Bill Gates, the IT industry is changing with each passing day, not to mention European and American countries and emerging economies China, India, that is, Africans know that the future development trend is in the computer and the Internet, and the electronic technology is quite developed I don't know, they even think that the Internet is impossible to succeed at this time, personal computer is an unsuccessful product, I am still in a mind to tinker with word processing machines, Bloom this useless waste.

It wasn't until 2002 that he really woke up and realized that garbage is still garbage even if it is perfectly packaged, and gems are still gems even if they are blinded by dust.

Once my brain turned a corner, with that kind of tendon strength and the spirit of pursuing perfection, the speed of development is also extremely terrifying, and it was only in 2002 that I began to engage in the Internet, and seven years later, the speed of Internet access was already the world's first-class, and the price was the lowest in the world.

It is really unfortunate for China that such a terrible nation with a serious sense of crisis lives by China's side and always has great ambitions for the land on the mainland.

The strong enemy on the side should have inspired the spirit of the Chinese people, realizing the gap and catching up, relying on the huge population and resource advantages, completely crushing the enemy under them, so that it had to be feared for thousands of years. Unfortunately, in Chai Dongliang's memory, this kind of thing did not happen.

Chai Dongliang established the first automobile factory in Wuhu, the production of V-shaped 12-cylinder engines and vehicles used in aircraft, from the foundation laid for more than a year, but a car, an engine can not be built, not to say that there are no technical personnel and equipment, but from the Rolls-Royce company technical personnel, is too picky, the Chinese management of the factory complained bitterly, several times asked people to Chai Dongliang to say items, asking these nasty foreign devils to get rid of the eggs.

At first, Chai Dongliang also thought that these British people were deliberately making things difficult, so he went there in person, and the British technicians took out the parts produced in Wuhu and the parts produced by the original British factory and put them together for him to see. Chai Dongliang watched it for a long time and didn't feel any difference.

The British engineer's brain was sweating anxiously, and he took out a magnifying glass and handed it to Chai Dongliang, shouting, "Down there." ”

Chai Dongliang turned over the parts, only to find a few subtle gaps, and the British engineer roared angrily: "According to Rolls-Royce's standards, these are all substandard products!" ”

The Chinese engineer transferred from Shanghai Guanghua Company was full of disdain, and the meaning could not be more obvious: Is this a problem?

Although the system has now been reformed, capitalists such as Wu Jintang and Yu Qiaqing will not raise idlers, and the people who drink tea and read newspapers are gone, but some stinky problems such as rough branches and leaves in the past can not be changed in a while.

Seeing Chai Dongliang's cold face, the Chinese technicians hurriedly said: "You must abide by the technical specifications and standards, please rest assured, next time it will definitely not be!" ”

As a result, the Wuhu Automobile Factory was split into two factories, the automobile factory and the engine factory, the technical staff of the automobile factory were mainly Chinese, and a few so-so Yankees were used for individual positions, and the engine factory continued to use harsh, dull British.

On June 3, 1914, China's first domestically produced light truck of the "Flying Leopard" brand finally rolled off the assembly line in Wuhu, and this incident attracted the attention of the media of various countries, and when this car was presented to the public, the whole world was dumbfounded. The Chinese reporter was ashamed and eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Is this thing that smokes billowing smoke and makes an old man cough after two steps?
