Under the attention of Feng Delin and others, the first plane in the Northeast and the first aircraft in the Republic of China loaded with weapons flew test, and the plane glided on the runway, breaking through the sky in the excitement of everyone.

Feng Yong was not as excited as others. After all, compared with the planes of later generations, this aircraft is too backward. Not only is it shabby, the flight speed is to death's death, but it is also terrifying to shake. Feng Yong really admires those flying enthusiasts, and for the sake of his hobby, he even disregards his life.

The plane took off, and everyone's faces appeared happy. Only Feng Yong's face was solemn.

"Young marshal, what's wrong?" Jiang Baili said.

"It is not difficult to build an aircraft that can fly in the sky, as early as the early years of the Republic of China, there were geniuses who produced aircraft in China. It is a pity that such a genius died because of a plane crash, otherwise, no matter how much it costs, Young Marshal Ben would have invited him to the Northeast to design and manufacture more advanced aircraft for China. Feng Yong sighed.

"You're talking about Feng Ru?" Jiang Baili said clearly.

"Yes, that's him!" Feng Yong couldn't hide his pity and said: "It's a pity that he died young, otherwise, we really have a grandmaster of aircraft design in China." ”

Feng Ru, formerly known as Feng Jiuru. Han nationality, a native of Enping, Guangdong. Born into a poor peasant family. Since he was a child, he has enjoyed making toys such as kites and cars and boats. is full of yearning for mythological stories, especially flying stories. At the age of 12, he crossed the ocean with his father to the United States to make a living. He witnessed the advanced technology of the United States, and believed that the country's prosperity and strength must rely on the development of technology, and to change the appearance of China's poverty and backwardness, it is necessary to learn machinery and develop technology. He threw himself into aircraft building on the basis of the development of some machinery. After the unsuccessful test flight of the first manufactured aircraft, the second was built and successfully tested. Feng Ru is good at studying, he works as a handyman during the day, reads mechanics at night, and has studied hard for several years, and has learned 36 mechanical principles, invented pumps, pile drivers, and made excellent radio transceivers. On September 21, 1909, Feng Ru's first airplane test flight, but unfortunately it ultimately failed. In July 1910, Feng Ru built a second airplane and it was a success. In February 1911, Feng Ru refused many offers from the United States and returned to China with his assistant and two planes. After the Xinhai Revolution, Feng Ru was appointed as a flight captain by the Guangdong Revolutionary Army. On August 25, 1912, Feng Ru was tragically wrecked and died in an air show in Yantang, Guangzhou, and was posthumously awarded the rank of major general of the army. When Feng Ru was dying, he instructed his comrades: "After I die, don't lose your enterprising spirit because of me." In Feng Yong's original time and space, Feng Ru was revered as the "father of China's aviation".

Originally, Feng Yong didn't know much about the news of Feng Ru's family, but in later generations, he saw a lot of crossing, as long as it was a crossover of the Republic of China, he often helped the protagonist develop the originator of the aircraft industry, Feng Yong was developing the aircraft, the first thing that came to mind was him, who knew that Feng Yong got the news through the secret stab, but Feng Ru has been dead for more than four years! The planes he built back then have also been lost to history. This made Feng Yong extremely sorry.

After Feng Ru's death, China's aircraft manufacturing industry plummeted, and since then, there have been no decent aircraft manufacturers in China during the entire Republic of China. There are even no manufacturers that can produce airplanes anymore. With the advancement of aircraft technology, airplanes have gradually become imported luxury. However, the technical information of Feng Yong's aircraft construction back then is still in the hands of Guangdong zhèng fǔ, and he spent some money on behalf of the government and bribed a few zhèng fǔ officials to get this most advanced aircraft manufacturing data of the Republic of China. This is also an important reason why the Northeast was able to build an aircraft in such a short time. After all, Feng Ruke designed and produced the aircraft by himself. The technology is still mature, although his aircraft is not as advanced as the world's most advanced aircraft, but the flight principle and technical information are extremely valuable, after all, this is a complete set of aircraft manufacturing data.

Da-da-da-da!

High in the air, there was a sudden roar of light machine guns. Feng Yong was shocked, you must know that the main test of this test flight is the loaded weapon system, and success or failure is in one fell swoop.

Bang bang bang...... Few of the targets set up on the ground fell to the ground, after all, the pilots were not trained to fly shè. And this test flight was not to demonstrate his technology, but to show whether the weapon systems loaded on the plane were compatible with the aircraft.

Looking at the dust flying on the ground because of the light machine gun bullets, a touch of joy appeared on Feng Yong's face.

"Young marshal, we actually succeeded?" Jiang Baili said in surprise.

Feng Yong nodded and said, "The controller of our weapon was obtained from the great powers. It has been experimented by the great powers, the technology is mature, and of course it is easy to succeed. ”

"From the Great Powers? How is this possible, this is the most confidential information of the warring countries of the West! How can we get it in the Northeast? Jiang Baili said in disbelief.

"Nothing unbelievable! These materials were all made by our people from the Russian zhèng fǔ. The Russian tsar zhèng fǔ is not worse than our Manchu zhèng fǔ in terms of decay. As long as you have money, even if it's the tsar's **, I can get it for you. Feng Yong said with a grin.

Jiang Baili was speechless! Feng Yong must have spent a lot of money to get this information, and he will definitely not be as light as he said. But looking at Feng Yong's appearance, he obviously didn't want to go into detail, and he was not reluctant.

The news of the plane's successful test flight did not leak out, and only a few people knew about it. Of course, Feng Yong and a few people would not say it. After all, advanced aircraft are a trump card in the future of Northeast China. At present, when the technology is not mature, it is better not to show it lightly before mass production can be carried out, and before the formation of combat effectiveness.

The successful trial production of cars and airplanes made Feng Yong and others feel very good. But the good mood of Feng Yong and others did not last long. The Běi Jīng peace talks ended, and the news of the signing of the New Běi Jīng Treaty by the Republic of China also spread to the northeast.

The Northeast Governor's Mansion and a group of giants quickly gathered together. Studying Běi Jīng and the overall situation of the Republic of China.

"The New Běi Jīng Treaty, Li Yuanhong zhèng fǔ finally chose to compromise with Rì himself! It's just that now his foundation is unstable, and if he does something that damages his reputation, it will definitely be very bad for him, and it seems that there will be turmoil within the Republic of China again! Li Jun looked at the news of the signing of the New Taipei Treaty that came back through the assassination. Although Li Yuanhong had already blocked the content of the treaty for the first time, it was almost impossible for President Li Da, who was not superior in strength, to completely block a message in Běi Jīng, where the power struggle was fierce.

"What is Chief Duan's actions over there?" Feng Yong was more interested in Duan Qirui. Although Li Yuanhong currently occupies the righteousness, without the support of the armed forces, Duan Qirui will not put him in his eyes at all. Li Yuanhong is simply a puppet in the Beiyang system, although this puppet never thinks of himself as a puppet. He has always wanted to grasp the power of the Republic of China through political means. I am afraid that the final result can only be a miserable ouster. As the real boss after Yuan Shikai's death, Duan Qirui's attitude often determines the attitude of the Republic of China.

"Chief Duan did not express any attitude towards the New Běi Jīng Treaty, as if acquiescing to this treaty. However, our people found out that the War Department seemed to have a relationship with Rì himself, but their actions were too secretive. We can't get any valid information. Jing Tongshen said solemnly. This is the first time he has stepped from behind the scenes to the front desk to discuss issues with the giants in the Northeast. Although everyone also knew that Feng Shaoshuai held a mysterious power called Dark Thorn in his hands, and the leader was this usually extremely dull Jing Tong. But Feng Yong didn't let them leak out, and no one dared to explore the secret of the assassination. God knows if his actions will attract the attention of the assassins, and it will be fun if they are targeted, in their hearts, the assassins are equivalent to institutions like Dongchang Jinyiwei. This time, Feng Yong asked Jing Tong to participate in their high-level meeting, which was intended to let the leader of the assassination come to the front and reveal some of the hidden power in front of everyone.

"Contact with Rì himself?" A glint flashed in Feng Yong's eyes. said to Jiang Baili: "Big brother, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Can't see through! However, I am afraid that the fact that President Li Da compromised with Rì himself cannot be hidden. At the very least, Chief Duan will not let go of this good opportunity. What we need to pay more attention to now is what kind of attitude we should maintain in the Northeast towards this matter, if one does not operate well, we may become the one who bears the blame. President Li Da was able to ascend to the presidency and contend with President Duan without any foundation, which shows the power of his political methods. Although our Northeast is strong, and the Republic of China generally does not dare to deal with us easily, but once President Li Da really declares a big loss because of this peace talks, his position is not guaranteed, in order to keep his position, who knows if he will jump over the wall in a hurry and drag our Northeast in. We need to prepare for this. "Jiang Baili stayed in Běi Jīng for a long time and knew something about Yuan Shikai's middle and high official 禀xìng. What's more, during the Yuan Shikai period, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui, who were big shots. Yuan Shikai, a generation of heroes, didn't dare to underestimate the two.

"This is reassuring, the current Northeast is definitely not something that anyone can insult." Feng Delin went through the trip to Běi Jīng, but he was full of confidence. The old superiors who joined the Beiyang Army back then also respected him, and even President Li Yuanhong and General Chief Duan, who were out of reach, also met with him personally. He also expressed his intention to win over the Northeast Security Army he represented. The attitudes of these big names also made Feng Delin understand the change in his identity. I can't say I'm on an equal footing with them, but I'm definitely a figure who can affect the balance of power between them.

Things turned out to be as everyone expected, and I don't know which side of the "New Běi Jīng Treaty" was poked out! The whole country was in an uproar, but I didn't expect the Běi Jīng peace talks to start so well, but the result still didn't change anything.

Although this treaty was somewhat better than that signed by the Manchu Qing dynasty, no matter how much better it was than the treaty signed by the Manchu Qing dynasty, this could not hide the fact that the national sovereignty of the Republic of China had been undermined in this treaty.

This treaty basically adopted Rì's own proposal, and Lu Zhengxiang's negotiations in the past half month only reduced the amount of compensation from 10 million silver dollars to 5 million silver dollars. Other aspects have not changed at all. Feng Delin angrily put the newspaper on the table. Unexpectedly, after the Republic of China kicked them out of the delegation, it was only to make Rì himself compromise in terms of reparations. Other aspects remain unchanged.

"The Republic of China is still too weak. There is no point in matching five million taels of silver and ten million taels of silver. Even if the Republic of China only compensates five taels of silver, it will also be a huge blow to the prestige of the Republic of China. Young marshal, what should we do? Li Jun was holding the newspaper in his hand, but the muscles on his hands were bulging, indicating that his mood was not very calm.

"Now it's not a question of what to do, but someone has already targeted us, you look at this southern newspaper. Say what 'Northeast fake tough, really compromise!' 'me, isn't this talking nonsense with my eyes open!' Moreover, this statement has been reprinted by major newspapers in the south one after another, and now it has intensified. This shows that there are big forces behind it. Father, eldest brother, third brother, you analyze and analyze, who is this kind of treatment to us? Feng Yong's face was not good-looking. As soon as the "New Běi Jīng Treaty" was signed, some people used this incident to smear the Northeast Zhèng Fǔ, which made Feng Yong unbearable. After all, the performance of the Northeast is really for the country's sovereignty.

According to the young marshal, the fact that this news appeared in the southern provinces and spread rapidly shows that this dark force has a great influence in the south, and in addition to the overseers in the south, I am afraid that only those political parties that talk about the revolution have such influence in the press. Of course, it is not excluded that it is the big man of Běi Jīng City who wants to deal with our northeast. ”

"It's really a good way to attack with public opinion, but unfortunately, I, Feng Yong, am not Yuan Shikai, and I don't have any real handle in my hand for them to catch. But since someone has attacked us, we can't afford not to fight. If it is a real war, for the sake of the reunification of the country, the young marshal may still have some scruples, but in the war of public opinion, the young marshal dares to say second, and no one dares to say first. Feng Yong said confidently.

"Young marshal, should we establish a political party in the Northeast, after all, we will never be able to reach the pinnacle of power by virtue of military strength." Seeing the current situation of the Republic of China, Jiang Baili suggested.

Li Jun's eyes lit up, he had already suggested that Feng Yong establish a political party, but Feng Yong had always been ambiguous, and Feng Yong had always shown a strategic vision. Li Jun mentioned it once and didn't say it. Unexpectedly, Jiang Baili also raised the same question today.

"Forming a political party?" Feng Yong said with a smile. "Now it's pretty much the same! But in terms of the details, let me think about it! No one expected Feng Yong to agree. Feng Delin has no special feelings for political parties, for him who was born in the military, he has a strong army in his hands, and he has everything. Moreover, since he handed over the 28th Division, he no longer asked about specific matters in the army, but only assisted Feng Yong in discussing some strategic issues of the Northeast Security Army.
