On February 9, Feng Ru was 'invited' to Hangzhou, in a very special way, Feng Ru's face was very strange, and he couldn't say how he felt, because there was no political axe in Nanjing.

Now the world belongs to Yuan Shikai, and of course, the three provinces in East China are the temporary political axes of East China.

However, some provinces in the south are still controlled by the revolutionary party, and Jiangsu, Anhui, and Guangdong provinces are the territory of the revolutionary party, and he can still stay in Guangdong, and he can still contribute to the revolution.

Sadly, he was kidnapped.

It happened on the day of the Lantern Festival, a group of people entered his house, and without saying a word, forcibly packed him into a large box, and when he was released, he was already on a cargo ship.

But Feng Ru met another person on this big cargo ship, and that was Anthony? Fokker, apparently the cargo ship has just returned from Germany.

After the two found out that the other was an aircraft designer, Anthony? Fokker and Feng Ru talked excitedly about the plane on the ship, and kept talking about Hangzhou.

Feng Ru and Fokker are both mechanics and keen on the flying industry, so they have a lot in common, and they soon become good friends, Fokker is deeply surprised by Feng Ru's kidnapping, but pats Feng Ru on the shoulder to comfort him.

"What's so bad about working for the East China Autonomous Axe? Didn't you say that they are also China's revolutionary forces? Moreover, I read in the newspapers that various countries have recognized the status of the autonomous political axe of East China. Falk said to Feng Ru.

"Yes, but ......" Feng Ru hesitated, and Fokker interrupted him, "China is the only one who can build an engine, and they are willing to spend a lot of money." ”

"Hmm!" Feng Ru nodded, and with mixed emotions, Feng Ru came to the dock.

After a while, I saw a sedan driving up, followed by a group of soldiers in Baath SS uniforms.

Xia Jun stepped out of the car and stepped forward to welcome the arrival of Fokker and Feng Ru.

After a warm handshake, Xia Jun said to Feng Ru: "Brother Feng is really difficult to invite!" However, I will tell you that Brother Feng is my most capable mechanic in China, and he is also my pioneer in Chinese flight, and we will invite him no matter what. If there is any neglect, I hope that Brother Feng Haihan! ”

"The chairman is serious." Feng Ru replied very unnaturally, looking at the very young chairman in front of him, he was a little helpless, but he couldn't talk about being angry.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's get in the car first, and I'll take you to a place." Xia Jun said to Feng Ru and Fakker, and the translator immediately translated it for Fokker, who smiled and nodded.

The three of them got into the car, and Xia Jun asked him to wait for the opportunity to go to the internal combustion engine manufacturing plant.

Feng Ru listened to the internal combustion engine manufacturing plant, and couldn't help but raise his spirits. Xia Jun talked to Feng Ru about mechanical things in the car, not about airplanes.

Xia Jun felt that Feng Ru was a mechanical talent, and it was obviously a bit overkill to let him build an airplane. Compared with airplanes, Xia Jun pays more attention to machinery.

At present, the scale of the machinery manufacturing industry in the three provinces of East China is still very small, and it can only manufacture some simple machinery, and most of the machinery is either to be purchased in Europe and the United States or from the exchange platform.

Feng Ru studied machine manufacturing in New York before, and he studied very hard, often studying late at night in order to discuss a problem.

Despite the urgency of life, in order to learn more about the development of science and technology in the West, he often used the money he saved to buy newspapers and books for room and board.

In order to pay the tuition, Feng Ru also had to use her spare time to work part-time. Despite this, Feng Ru's academic performance is still at the top of her class.

Seeing that Feng Ru studied so hard, coupled with his outstanding grades, the school decided to waive his tuition. Five years later, Feng Ruoran had extensive knowledge of mechanical manufacturing, he knew 36 kinds of machines, and also invented and manufactured pumping machines and pile drivers, and the radio transceiver he designed and manufactured was very popular with users because of his good surname.

At this time, Feng Ru was already a well-known mechanic in the United States, and such a mechanic who was proficient in 36 kinds of machinery to build an airplane was indeed overkill, and it was almost the same for him to build a machine tool.

If you want to say that Feng Ru built an airplane, it is obvious that he is a monk halfway.

Before, Feng Ru wanted to build a warship and send it back to China to strengthen national defense, which really made people feel crazy, and then found that the plane was more useful and cheap, so he ran to build the plane, and it was the plane that killed him.

"Building an airplane is like making an egg, but building a machine is making a chicken, and with this chicken, you can lay a lot of eggs, right?" Xia Jun and Feng Ru said.

"What the chairman said is good." Feng Ru nodded in agreement, and Xia Jun continued: "So! Brother Feng, you don't want to build planes specifically, just be a hobby. I plan to set up a machinery manufacturing factory so that our China can manufacture advanced equipment, so that we can become strong in China, protect the interests of 40,000 compatriots and overseas Chinese, and let our Chinese go abroad and raise their eyebrows, and no one dares to bully us. ”

Xia Jun's words immediately resonated with Feng Ru, for a Chinese living overseas, what they most expect is to have a strong motherland to protect them.

"If the chairman has a mature idea, I'm willing to give it a try."

Speaking of machinery, Feng Ru is absolutely confident, Xia Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, letting Feng Ru build an airplane is indeed overkill.

And Feng Ru is not a very professional aircraft designer, Xia Jun does not have much confidence in whether Feng Ru can make achievements on the plane, he still values Feng Ru's mechanical talent.

In addition, Feng Ru seems to be able to build and design warships! What a talent! It's strange if you don't tie him up.

Soon arrived at the internal combustion engine manufacturing plant, Feng Ru and Fokker were dazzled when they entered the internal combustion engine manufacturing plant, this internal combustion engine manufacturing plant is definitely the most advanced on the earth. Then Xia Jun took the two of them to visit the 450-horsepower diesel engine manufactured more than half a month ago.

After seeing the internal combustion engine factory, Fokker no longer had any doubts about the strength of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, and this is indeed a place that can provide him with the best stage.

After Feng Ru saw the internal combustion engine manufacturing plant, he also changed his inner thoughts.

As Xia Jun said, building an airplane is overkill, and building a machine is the right way. In terms of building airplanes, the East China Autonomous Political Axe obviously had no difficulty, because not only could it manufacture its own internal combustion engine, but also invited Fokker to come and serve as a designer.

Fokker had already built the fastest and strongest monoplane in the world, and the plane built by Feng Ru was a successful test flight, but it was obviously not as good as the aircraft built by Fokker.

The so-called glimpse of the whole leopard, the environment of East China's autonomous political axe, is really suitable for his development, so Feng Ru soon decided to stay in the three provinces of East China Autonomous Province to manufacture machinery.

What's more, if he stays here, he can get a high salary of 2,000 yuan a month.

…… Two days later, the 'East China Aviation Manufacturing Company' and the 'East China Machinery Manufacturing Factory' were established in Hangzhou, and reporters from major newspapers sent reporters to report on it, and even a group of foreign reporters came.

Because on the day of its establishment, Xia Jun personally went to the scene to cut the ribbon, not only the people in the three autonomous provinces were interested in this frighteningly young chairman, but even the countries of the world were full of curiosity about this young chairman.

How did a twenty-two-year-old man become the head of a political axe that ruled three provinces?

Fokker is the chief designer of East China Aviation Manufacturing Company, and Feng Ru is responsible for the production process of East China Aerospace Manufacturing Company as the chief engineer, and Feng Ru is also responsible for the chief engineer of machinery manufacturing of East China Machinery Manufacturing Plant.

When Xia Jun cut the ribbon, the newspapers kept taking pictures with their cameras. After the ribbon cutting, those reporters gathered around, and one of the reporters asked: "Chairman Xia, I am a reporter from the News Daily, may I ask what machinery will be mainly manufactured by East China Machinery Manufacturing Company after it is opened?" ”

The newspaper is an industrial and commercial newspaper with a readership of mostly industrial and commercial people, with a special focus on commercial reporting.

Xia Jun replied with a smile: "We will build all the machines that foreigners can build." ”

"What kind of efforts will East China Machinery Manufacturing Factory take to develop the machinery manufacturing industry? For example, how big will it be? The reporter asked.

"This is a machinery manufacturing plant that we spent 150 million yuan to build, and the scale can be imagined." Xia Jun replied with a mouth full of trains.

After Xia Jun answered, the audience was stunned, this turned out to be a factory that had been built with an investment of 150 million yuan.

150 million yuan, Xia Jun really can't take it out.

However, the equipment of the machinery manufacturing factory cost Xia Jun 100 million points to buy, all of which were the most advanced equipment, so that Xia Jun only had 20 million points left in his hand.

Running a train can increase your value! When the time comes, if you take the machinery factory to take out a mortgage, you can also get more loans. Now that the situation in China has ostensibly stabilized, the next step is to borrow on a large scale.

Xia Jun's words shocked the people present, only to see him continue: "In the future, our East China Autonomous Political Axe can produce many machines by itself, and the quality is definitely not lower than that made by foreigners." ”

It's not certain what kind of machinery this machine factory can make, but the machine tools are readily available, all of them are machine tools from the 20s, but these machine tools alone cost Xia Jun 100 million points.

This is not to build your own machine tool, but to buy a machine tool, which is so expensive. If you build your own machine tool, it is a machine tool at the level of 1912, and it will start with 1 billion points.

With these advanced machine tools, as long as there are excellent mechanical fabricators and machine drawings and technicians, there is no problem in building them.

Therefore, in the future, Xia Jun can hand over the drawings to the machinery factory when ordering equipment, and he can produce in China, and there is no need to go abroad to ask the gringos to produce.

However, mechanics are still a problem, and Xia Jun must train technicians by himself.

Skilled workers are currently very lacking in China, and the Ministry of Education has opened technical schools in various places to train various types of technical workers in accordance with Xia Jun's instructions.

Admission to technical schools is free of charge, and there are subsidies for individual types of work.

The mechanic problem is presided over by Feng Ru, he is a professional, and Feng Ru's arrival can be said to have solved a hidden worry that Xia Jun has always been worried about not being able to make machinery by himself.

Feng Ru was shocked by the various machine tools required for machinery manufacturing that came soon, and these brand-new equipment were all very advanced, even more advanced than those used by foreigners.

East China Machinery Manufacturing Factory, this is his stage, this feeling makes Feng Ru feel a little dreamy. Overnight, the conditions, status, and rich life were all in place, and then it was in this state of no worries that he fought hard for his ideals!
