The aircraft industry does not drive the industrial system as much as the automobile industry, but its overall role in improving the industrial system is far from being comparable to that of the automobile industry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The automobile industry can drive the sectors of machinery manufacturing, parts processing, steel industry, rubber industry, and the automobile industry consumes a quarter of steel consumption in later generations, and is the first pillar industry that deserves to be so.

However, the aircraft industry has played an unparalleled role in precision machining, new materials, and electronics industries, and it can be said that the aircraft industry is a big country industry.

Therefore, compared with the automobile industry, the aircraft industry is a high-end industry, and the difference between the mid-end industry is that one is the flower of industry, the other is the wood of industry, one has economic benefits, and the other has strategic benefits.

Yang Chao attaches equal importance to the aircraft industry and the automobile industry, the automobile industry works closely with Skoda, and does not hesitate to let Skoda use its own name to produce cars in China, but the aviation industry has no choice, this is a cutting-edge industry, the most developed in the world is Britain and the United States, and the main market is not civilian, but military.

It is impossible to cooperate with Britain and the United States, but fortunately, Wang Zhu's team is strong enough to support China's aviation industry, and Zeppelin as a major parts manufacturer has greatly ensured the growth of Shandong's aviation industry.

However, it is still not comparable with the United States, which has dozens of aircraft companies, large and small, such as Boeing, Wright Martin, Walter, Pratt & Whitney, and other aircraft industry companies, but China has only two, one is the former Lockheed Corporation, and the other is mainly the Zeppelin company that produces engines, transmission devices and other spare parts.

This can be regarded as a way to concentrate on doing great things, because there is still a big gap with the Americans in terms of talent, and the aviation major was first established by the Americans, and Wang Zhu and they all learned aviation knowledge from the United States, and people like Wang Zhu have not 1,000 but 800 in the United States.

But China is already making progress, and the most well-known professor at Tangshan Jiaotong University, Professor Huang Shouheng, who has the honorary title of Tangshan's Big Five Elders, opened an aviation major a few years ago.

Huang Shouheng was admitted to the civil engineering department of Tangshan Jiaotong University in 1910, was admitted to the United States at Tsinghua University in 16 years, studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, obtained a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University in 17 years, and obtained a master's degree in aeronautical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 18 years.

It can be said that Huang Shouheng is Wang Zhu's classmate in Massachusetts, but he is one year later than Wang Zhu, and he is considered a junior brother, but he is also the world's first batch of aviation masters. After graduation, like Wang Zhu, he chose to intern and work in the United States, and only returned to China two years later, worked in the aviation industry and railway industry for three years, and then returned to his alma mater, Tangshan Jiaotong University, to teach.

In addition to experts such as Huang Shouheng who have opened graduate courses in aviation, there are also undergraduate courses in aviation majors in Yantai Maritime School and Fuzhou Shipbuilding School, and it can be said that China's aviation industry is improving in terms of education.

But the gap is still very large, so it is necessary to concentrate talents, almost every graduate student has entered Lockheed and joined Wang Zhu's team, and there are currently more than 100 people, of which 82 are bachelor's degrees and 18 are master's degrees.

Not a big team, but not a small team, of course, it is impossible to develop only one or two aircraft, in addition to the FZ series aircraft, there are LW series fighters, as well as medium tactical bombers, numbered HZ, has been developed to the fourth type HZ4, using a twin-engine design, the navy and army are heavily equipped, excellent performance.

This time, these planes came in handy, making the best use of them, airships carried out long-range bombing, bombing railway bridges in Novosibirsk, and then FZ3 long-range bombers strategically bombed the airport in Tesshet, and finally the HZ4 land bombers continued to destroy the roads and bridges in the Jima area, and even directly dropped bombs on the heads of the advancing Soviet and Russian troops, making them miserable but powerless, because the LW3 fighters completely mastered air supremacy, and the Soviet planes that hit them could not take off at all.

With advanced aircraft, there was also a need for skilled pilots, and at first it was all supported by the Korean Air Force, but with the arrival of volunteers from Britain, France, Germany, and the United States, the situation improved considerably, because many of these people were old-school pilots who had fought in World War I.

Yang Chao is not recruiting casually, when recruiting people, but it must be strictly investigated, after all, there are too many volunteers in Europe and the United States, and in the era of economic crisis, a large number of unemployed people do not hesitate to take risks in order to seek a career. But Yang Chao still doesn't want such a person, because there are too many people, so the selection is extremely strict, officers are definitely wanted, those with war experience will also be wanted, and there are technical arms that can drive planes and tanks, of course, the premise is that these people have to accept strict scrutiny and confirm that they are not spies.

The arrival of these Westerners not only strengthened the air force, and soon 1,000 people joined the air force, but also strengthened the tank forces, especially the Americans, although only more than 10,000 people came to sign up for the Tsar Knights, but there were 3,000 of them who could tractors, and even more who could drive, and a full 7,000 people could drive, and these people were trained to easily learn to drive tanks.

Yang Chao rented 100 airships from the Zeppelin Shipping Company, which could transport tens of thousands of people at a time, and transported the entire 10th Group to Irkutsk in April, and then began to transport Russian and Ukrainian volunteers from Eastern Europe, and all the transportation could be completed in the middle of the year.

The Soviet Union and Russia have not dared to use the railways until now, and of course, with the loss of their air supremacy, it is also very difficult to cut off the railways now.

But they finally threatened Irkutsk, and on April 10 their vanguard hit the western outskirts of the river port, 15 kilometers from the city of Irkutsk, and if they had heavy artillery, they could have bombed the city of Irkutsk.

Zhang Zuolin led the four major armies, where they were ready to fight back, repelled the first wave of exploratory attacks of the Soviet army, and then Zhang Zuolin immediately rushed back to Irkutsk for a military conference.

Zhang Zuolin gave a brief introduction to the battle situation: The Soviet army only made a tentative attack, and the number of people involved in the attack was less than 100,000, while the main force of the Soviet army was in the port of Angara, which was more than 50 kilometers away from Irkutsk, and the logistics base was in the small town of Usolye, which was more than 10 kilometers away from the port of Angara.

After briefing the situation, Zhang Zuolin promised to guard the safety of Irkutsk and never allow the Soviet troops to get any closer.

In the end, Zhang Zuolin applied: "If the air force can bomb Usoliye, it will completely destroy the ability of the Soviet army to advance." ”

Yang Chao smiled: "Destroy Usoliye, why not destroy the entire Soviet army?" ”

Zhang Zuolin was stunned: "But the Fifth Army has not yet conducted training." ”

Yang Chao smiled: "No need to train, it's time for a counterattack." (To be continued.) )
