Chapter 4 No Accompaniment

Of course, Wei Ru didn't know what Godzilla was, and when he saw that he was stunned, Li Kongrong explained: "Godzilla was originally a lizard, but after being stimulated by artificial pollutants, its size increased by a thousand times, and then it became a monster. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Speaking of this, Li Kongrong paused, and waited for Wei Ru to finish digesting before saying, "If you use artificial methods to stimulate the mutation of Penicillium to increase its yield......"

"Ahh Wei Ru seemed to have a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he said excitedly: "I was reading the report before I came, Wang Yinglai wrote it, he mentioned this method above, and I was looking ......at it" Wei Ru pointed to Lu Mo and said, "It just so happened that the telegram came." ”

"Oh." Li Kongrong smiled, "It seems that the research room has already thought of it, so I have nothing to say." I think that's the only way to provide Penicillium yields at the moment. Anyway, we want penicillin secreted by Penicillium, and we don't care whether Penicillium is beautiful or ugly. The key is the strain yield, the strain yield can't go up, and no matter how much you toss, it's useless. ”

"That's true, it's true." Wei Ru nodded frequently. Among the founders of Xinzhong Company, he is actually better at overall management, and Zhi Bingyuan is suitable for research and development, but the situation in Switzerland is complicated, and the simple Zhi Bingyuan is not as suitable as Wei Ru, so he was placed in Switzerland, and Zhi Bingyuan was transferred to New York.

"That's how penicillin is arranged." Like Wei Ru, Li Kongrong also had several things in mind, although penicillin was hopeless, it was still the top priority.

Seeing that Li Kongrong finished speaking, Wei Ru smiled and said, "Hansheng, I also have a few things to discuss with you here." The first one is a radio-to-air sounder, and there may be some ideas in the lab......"

"Thoughts?" Li Kongrong was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he understood what was going on. He said: "War is actually a process of learning from each other, that is, you have it, you use it, I know it, or I have captured it, and I will have it soon." As we all know, many technologies can be fought for scientific research strength, economic strength, and the mining capacity of materials, especially rare minerals. The initial model of the radar was researched, and although it was immature, it could still be used, but if such a radar was hastily moved back to China, it would definitely be seized or leaked by the Japanese, and the result was that the Japanese also began to equip the radar.

As I said last time, the radar must develop centimeter waves before it can be moved back to China, otherwise it will be large in size and large in target, and it will be easily discovered by the Japanese; Another is the domestic secrecy measures, if the domestic secrecy measures are not strict, it is easy for a small group of Japanese troops to seize the radar by surprise attack. It's not that the Japanese can't make this thing, it's just out of a kind of blind spot, thinking that this kind of thing has no effect. Doesn't Professor Meng know that all the materials are from Japan? ”

Speaking of the radar problem again, Li Kongrong was a little bitter. Because of his intelligence, although Chongqing experienced the 'May 3' and 'May 4' bombings, because of the early evacuation of Chongqing urban residents, the damage caused was only the urban area being burned. Chongqing is the temporary capital, and the Swiss Institute will naturally receive news of the bombing by Japanese aircraft.

At the beginning of the year, the Radio Research Institute said that it would produce more than a dozen initial models of radars and send them back to China to fight the Anti-Japanese War, but this move was vetoed by Li Kongrong. After the bombing of Chongqing, Meng Zhaoying and others, who were greatly stimulated, brought up this incident again, and Li Kongrong had to explain again the reason why the radar could not be transported back to China.

"Professor Meng also saw the newspaper saying that Chongqing was bombed by Japanese planes and burned to the ground, so he moved his mind again." Wei Ru explained like a good old man. "Hansheng is sure that there is no radar in Japan? Their magnetrons are ......."

"There really is no radar, and now the whole world has created a physical radar for us, Britain, the United States and Germany." "My biggest concern is that Japan will get radar technology from Germany and then start copying and equipping radars, which will delay the whole war by at least a year." If they had captured our radar, it would have been postponed even longer.

As soon as you informed me of the success of the radar research, my first thought was to report to the High Command immediately, but I quickly dismissed this idea. Why? There are too many domestic spies. According to the information I have received, there is a Japanese spy in the German military delegation, there are also spies in the antiaircraft artillery unit defending Chongqing, and there are constantly spy secret messages sent to Wuhan and Nanjing in Chongqing. There are so many spies in the national government that the radar will definitely be a meat bun beating a dog. ”

Li Kongrong was a little excited when he said this. On the one hand, the Kuomintang retained the traditional model and valued the recommendation of people, and on the other hand, it learned from the strict organizational system adopted by the Soviet Union. It is said that both ways are not easy to appear traitors, the Fujian system has infighting but few traitors, the Gui system is also relatively strict, and there is the Jin system, after all, everyone is a native of the hometown, the family is big, and it is impossible to abandon the family and sell the group; And the Soviet way is tightly controlled, everyone is suspicious, and everywhere is fortified, and it is unlikely that there will be serious leakage of secrets.

But the combination of the two goes wrong. The latter opposes the former, and the former softens the latter. The Kuomintang started out as a gang, and in the middle of it took advantage of the situation to continue its life, and after several infighting, its ability to keep secrets was a joke at all. Sending the radar back to China is the same as sending the radar directly to Tokyo, so every time he talks about this issue, Li Kongrong is very excited, he thinks that it is impossible for Meng Zhaoying and others not to understand this reason, but these people are just petty bourgeoisie, and when they see the dead people, they are overflowing, so that they always want to destroy the overall situation regardless of the consequences.

Li Kongrong, who stood up, turned around and waved his sleeves after speaking, and said, "Brother Ziba, you just tell Professor Meng and them like this." First, it would be cruel for anyone to be killed, but now it is 40,000,000 compatriots who are suffering, and it is not only stupid to ignore all the people and all the cities in the whole country for the sake of one person, some people, one city, or several cities. ”

Li Kongrong's words were so important that Wei Ru and Lu Mocheng's faces were very ugly. Li Kongrong didn't look at them, he continued: "Second, according to the current research progress, the centimeter-wave radar will come out in the middle of next year, and the Mibo radar can be made smaller at that time, so that it can be installed on large aircraft. At that time, the radar can return to China, but the premise is that it must be controlled by the navy, and other departments and other units in the country are not allowed to intervene, and when the time comes, we will only provide warning of enemy aircraft attacking, as for why we know, it is a matter for the navy, and it has nothing to do with other departments and other troops.

There is also that the radar is only an early warning, and what really prevents bombing is to shoot down Japanese bombers. I've always had the idea that the first pilots will return home in the second half of each year......"

"What?!" Wei Ru jumped up, looking at Li Kongrong speechless, and Lu Mocheng was about to applaud with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I said that the first batch of naval pilots will return to fight in the second half of next year." Li Kongrong's face was expressionless, this was what he had always considered, and the time was inserted around September 13, 40.

According to history, after the 9.13 air war, the loss of the source of Soviet aircraft and the emergence of the Zero Type one by one, the Chinese Air Force completely entered the stage of avoiding war. Chennault's Flying Tigers were also formed at this time, but at this time the European war had already broken out, although the United States gave loans to China, but Chang Kaishen asked for '500 planes is more difficult than picking 500 stars in the sky (US Secretary of State Hull)', and finally the P40 ordered by the British was finally given to China 100 after several rounds.

Of these 100 planes, one was lost when they were loaded and unloaded, and only 99 were left in Burma. Although most of the pilots are veterans, there are only sixty-six left after training, and the time is already December 41. Japan's war against the United States naturally relaxed its bombing of China, so not only did these 100 planes not come in handy when they were most needed, but also because Chennault's airplane victory theory seized the already limited tonnage of the Hump route, so that the army could not replenish its armaments.

In the gap between September 1940 and December 1941, the Navy could perhaps take over. The benefits are, first of all, to boost the morale of the military and civilians and to fight the Japanese invaders; The second is pilot rotation training, which can gain a lot of combat experience; Finally, the Navy and those related to the Navy will be united because they see the results, and there will be no more things like Meng Zhaoying's repeated requests for radar to return home.

The biggest disadvantage is the increase in military spending, and the loss of one aircraft is tens of thousands of dollars, as well as the loss of gasoline, spare parts, ground handling, and training. The most important thing is the pilots, if you lose one, you will lose one, and if you lose too much, Pearl Harbor will lack fighter pilots. Li Kongrong's estimate was that three squadrons (each with 24 planes) would cost $10 million to participate in the war, which made the already modest military budget even worse.

In addition to this military spending, there are leaks and suspicions. Piloting the F5F to participate in the war is a leak, which will make the Japanese army familiar with the performance of the F5F, but do not use the F5F to participate in the war, such as using the F4U pirate, and worry that the pilot is used to this type of aircraft and is not suitable for the F5F; The suspicion is Chang Kaishen, even if he is not 'treason', it is impossible for the naval pilots to be under the jurisdiction of the Aviation Committee, but the operation is in the country, and the airport must be in the country, and it is really unknown whether these three squadrons will be detained and swallowed up by Chang Kaishen for a long time.

Speaking of the naval aviation unit's return to China to fight, Li Kongrong remembered these gains and losses that he had repeatedly considered. He was very, very sure that it was none other than Chang Kaishen who stopped the Chinese from beating the Japanese.

"A key premise for this is the cooperation of the government." Li Kongrong's face grimaced when he thought of peanuts, "Naval aviation is used for aircraft carrier operations, and the navy has spent so much effort to renovate aircraft carriers and train pilots not to defend Chongqing." If the government insists on putting this air fleet under the command of the Aviation Commission, and then detains it and does not return it, or overdraws it, I will definitely try my best to withdraw them. The army exchanged fire and went to war. ”

"There will be no war, no war." Wei Ru knew that Li Kongrong did not have a good impression of the national government, which may be because his family died in the air force bomb, but he also knew his patriotism very well, so when he heard this, he only played a round.

"That's how the radar thing goes." Li Kongrong didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, and the specific battle plan would definitely not be made until he arrived in New York. "Brother Ziba just said that there are several things, what else is there?"

"And ......" Wei Ru looked at Lu Mocheng and smiled again, "Brother Han Sheng, the Jet Engine Research Institute still wants to launch a turbojet engine, this, didn't you say that helicopters will also use turboshaft engines in the future?" ”

"What else is there besides this." Li Kongrong did not express his position, but skipped this matter and asked others.

"In addition to this matter, the institute wants to further expand, and there is also the issue of internships for university graduates in China." Wei Rudao, "Now that the Swiss government has relaxed some restrictions, everyone wants to set up more research institutes and send more students to the research institute for internships, you see this ......."

"Of course I'm in favor of nurturing new people. But the two should be separated, business is business, don't do things that lose money, and internships are internships, which is public welfare. What I mean is that New China Defense will come forward to donate a sum of money as a domestic college student internship fund, such as 500,000 US dollars per year, and then the rest will be in accordance with commercial principles, and worthless personnel will not be hired or recruited. Li Kongrong expressed his opinion, "As for the new project, it is also determined whether to invest in accordance with the principle of war and economic principles, for example, I agree to the establishment of hybrid rice, but I firmly oppose the establishment of piston engines, automobiles, and machine tools." ”

Li Kongrong's tone was calm, but as soon as he heard his principles, Wei Ru's face turned bitter. After getting along for a long time, of course he understands Li Kongrong's principle, in a word, people have me, and no one has me. However, the vast majority of the projects proposed by the professors, scholars, and researchers in China belong to the category of 'people have what they have' -- in Li Kongrong's words, they are called 'second-way dealers', and this naturally caused nine out of ten of the project reports submitted in China to be shot, but the hybrid rice project of Ding Ying, a professor at the School of Agriculture of Sun Yat-sen University, was approved in a high-profile manner, and the first venture capital fund exceeded 100,000 US dollars. Now the fiat currency has depreciated sharply, and this amount of money exceeds the amount of funds allocated by the government to run Sun Yat-sen University.

"Brother Ziba, I know very well what those people in China are thinking, many people are willing to do it, and they will only be second-class dealers, international students are like this, and the same is true for research and development, they are just taking foreign ones back to earn fame. It's just in peacetime, but now it's the Anti-Japanese War, and the money is very limited, even if their projects are researched, with the industrial base of the rear, can they be transformed into products? For example, the Central Machinery Factory purchased a large number of machine tools and equipment in the United States to build cars in China. Big, nearly a million dollars of machinery was bought, what is it called, anyway, a branch director surnamed Shi still designed a car in the United States before returning to China.

I'm so funny, there are no supporting projects in China, no steel industry, and no petroleum and petrochemical, how many cars does the fifth branch of the Central Machinery Factory want to make? What did he make it from? What does the car burn?

As soon as the brain is hot, I set up a project and build a car that is hyped on the news, saying that it is made by the Chinese, bullshit! Now is the time to fight a war, not to play with national pride and petty bourgeoisie, and the only funds we have have to be invested in projects that can be mass-produced and can effectively support the war of resistance, not to earn any anger or raise any pride. Only victory can make us proud, and they should keep these emotions to themselves and play slowly, I don't accompany them. (To be continued.) )
