436: Tank No. 2

Why does Wang Sirui dare to say that the aircraft they have researched is the most advanced aircraft in the world?

If there is no three, two, three, he dares to say that? For more than ten years after the birth of the aircraft, the main use of the aircraft was for entertainment and competition, and it was not until the outbreak of World War I that the aircraft began to be used in the military, mainly as the eyes and ears of the infantry, for reconnaissance. www.biquge.info But then it seems that some people felt that it was too wasteful to use the planes in this way, and at the same time, they had nothing to do with the enemy's planes.

As a result, various countries began to equip their planes with machine guns to attack each other's reconnaissance planes, and equipped their planes with bombs to bomb some important targets, in addition, there were planes that were specially used to attack the ground, so reconnaissance, combat, bombing, assault, trainers, and various types of aircraft began to shine on the stage of history.

At the beginning of World War I, there were about 1,500 planes on the front line, but by the end of the war, the number of planes on the front line reached 8,000, and in four years, the number of planes used by both sides to engage in war reached more than 100,000.

It can even be said that if there was no war, the time when aircraft would be used in military affairs would have been greatly delayed for many years, and Wang Sirui took advantage of his knowledge of history to develop some important future arms in advance, so as to narrow the gap between the Chinese Empire and the great powers.

The previous armored forces, together with the current aircraft, although there were only two large aspects, were enough to narrow the gap between the Chinese Empire and the great powers to a distance that almost non-existent.

Why did Americans rise through two world wars? Their number of battleships is not as good as that of the British, and even not as advanced as the British battleships, but the Americans have found another shortcut through the aircraft carrier battle group to make up for this gap, and even widened the distance between Britain and the United States, so that the giant battleships have to withdraw from the stage, and at this time, the American aircraft carrier battle group has become the most powerful army in the world, and other countries can only catch up behind, and it is always difficult to surpass.

Wang Sirui's step is to learn from the steps of the United States in the two world wars.

However, unfortunately, due to geographical and historical factors, China cannot reap the benefits of the fisherman like the United States, and China must also participate in it from the beginning, and even play the role of provoking the whole world war. Although it is still possible for Americans to reap the benefits of fishermen, in fact, there is no way to do it, and the geographical conditions of Americans are really impossible to compare.

"Now that those people have returned to China with their materials and are on their way to Taiyuan, the new research and production site is located in Luliang, where everything is ready to go straight to work when they arrive. Therefore, the Prime Minister's Office should do a good job of assisting to ensure that the required materials can be guaranteed in place as soon as possible. The military department should also start to arrange the affairs of the air force, regarding the formation of the air force, for the time being, it is kept secret, all the soldiers, all directly drawn from the active army, there are only five requirements, first, good eyesight, second, the body scars do not exceed one centimeter, third, there is no fear of heights, vertigo, fourth, strong flexibility, fifth, strong resistance to pressure. Wang Sirui instructed the two directly, as for the preliminary preparations, there are only so many things that need to be done by two departments.

More preparations are still to be done by the institute, such as early teaching, teaching production, etc., and flight technology or something needs to be summarized by the pilots themselves through practice, and there is no shortcut.

In fact, Wang Sirui originally planned to define the second article as not allowed to have any injuries on the body, but after thinking about it carefully, this article is a rule formulated for future generations of pilots, with the current aircraft, it cannot fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the air pressure is also within the bearable range for the human body, even if it can fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the aircraft at that time can also make some measures to prevent the tragedy through some technology.

Fear of heights and vertigo don't need to be explained, pilots are afraid of heights and vertigo, so what kind of pilot should you be? And the detection of these two requirements is also very simple, that is, pull them to a high place and let them look down, whether they are afraid of heights can be seen at once.

Vertigo is to let them turn in circles on the ground by themselves, at least a hundred laps first, and then walk along a straight line on the ground, and you can say goodbye if you run away directly, and if you are not fast enough, you can also say goodbye, if the speed is too fast, you can also say goodbye, if you go too straight, if you don't make any mistakes, you can also bye-bye, leaving those who look mediocre.

(Don't ask me why, because I don't know, this is what one of my uncles said, the naval aviation selected people back then, and that's how it was done about this level, and then a base all said goodbye.) )

Listening to Wang Sirui's words, Wang Shizhen and Xu Shichang were a little depressed, everything was ready for their feelings, but the two military and political leaders didn't know anything, if Wang Sirui didn't tell them today, it was estimated that they would continue to be kept in the dark.

Of course, from another aspect, this also directly reflects how strong Wang Sirui's ability to control the army and the government is. Such a big thing happened below, and the construction of two new bases, the top military and political leaders did not even know about it. Of course, the most frustrating thing for them is not that no one asks for their opinions, or informs them of this matter, but that the project has been completed, and no one has even told them about it.

Now Wang Shizhen and Xu Shichang are even starting to think about whether they want to return to their hometowns in advance? But after thinking about it, it seems that except for some things that Wang Sirui identified as major events and needed him to operate in person, other things were operated by them, and Wang Sirui was also very open to their degree of decentralization.

If the emperor really didn't care about anything, and only listened to the report and occasionally put forward opinions, wouldn't it become the kind of constitutional monarchy of the British?

"Your Majesty, after I go back, I will give an order to select suitable soldiers for the whole army. And then let them go directly to Luliang to report? Xu Shizhen asked.

Wang Sirui shook his head, the words of going directly to Luliang were too obvious, "Let these people all wear civilian clothes, report to Jingcheng County, and then organize a unified organization to go to Luliang." ”

"Your Majesty, although Lvliang is hidden, with the use of Lvliang Steel Mill, it is now becoming more and more prosperous, although it is not as good as other regions, but it is not too remote? And there's a lot of stuff you can't take into account when you are there. If we consider the concealment alone, Chen felt that Sichuan was also very good, and it seemed to be more suitable for aircraft manufacturing and research. Wang Shizhen objected.

"Sichuan is indeed very suitable, but the current conditions in Sichuan are still not as good as Lvliang, in Lvliang, we can transport some necessary facilities to Lvliang through Taiyuan by rail, only one or two hundred miles away, and Sichuan, how long will it take?" Wang Sirui asked rhetorically, but Wang Shizhen's words also reminded Wang Sirui, after all, the largest wind tunnel in China in the future was in Sichuan, which was selected after countless surveys, at least, Wang Sirui can save this large amount of money, of course, there are technical vacancies.

"But you also reminded me that the terrain of Sichuan is indeed very suitable, so that the Prime Minister's Office will make a plan in the near future to build a railway in Sichuan, and the aircraft industry in the later period will also make corresponding plans, especially the wind tunnel plan.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Shizhen nodded, even the location was considered so clearly, if Wang Sirui didn't know about it in advance, it was really a dog, and Wang Shizhen wouldn't believe it.

Although Wang Sirui took care of Wang Shizhen's face, in Wang Shizhen's opinion, he was still very faceless, after all, everything made the emperor think about the front, but he tragically followed the back of the ass and reminded everywhere, and what is even more important is that after the reminder, I found that these emotional problems are no longer any problem.

…………

About 100 kilometers west of Zhongjing, in the factory area of the Luoyang Chariot Factory, on a railroad track, a flatbed truck stood there quietly, with the cooperation of several workers, one by one the tanks were driven onto the flatbed train, and then fixed, two soldiers with a large amount of food and water, as well as several bags into the tank, and then, the workers from the outside covered it with canvas.

About thirty tanks were put on flatbed trains, and then the interior of each tank was guarded by two soldiers, and at the back of the tank, there were more than a dozen closed cars, half of which were filled with ammunition and tank parts, and the rest were occupied by soldiers, and even next to the canvas-covered tanks, there were several soldiers guarding them.

They formed makeshift positions at the front of the flatbed trucks out of dirt bags, and above each position were placed a Maxim heavy machine gun, along with four or five soldiers armed with rifles.

"Teacher, the No. 2 tank has been loaded, the troops are already in place, and it is time to leave soon, do you have anything else to explain?" A young man walked into the office and asked a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair on his head.

The middle-aged man known as Song Gong looked up at the person who came, this is the student he values the most, and Song Gong is also a relatively strict person, but the advantage is that the students brought out of his hands are all talents with real materials.

"Qingping, this time you lead the team to the front line to pay attention to safety, don't do those irrational moves, the tank is gone, we can rebuild, if you are gone, I will have to spend a few more years to cultivate the next batch." Song Gong carefully admonished that it was not that he did not attach importance to the lives of soldiers, but that the cultivation of talents was too difficult.

This time, he specially applied for an infantry battalion from above, the purpose was to protect the eleven students he sent out, and Song Gong had already prepared to fight the Confucians, but what he didn't expect was that the above directly agreed to his request.

"Teacher, don't worry, this time to the front line, the students will definitely pay attention to safety, and at the same time ensure that the task is completed." Li Qingping responded with a smile.

"Okay, while there is still time, let's go home quickly, you know what to say and what not to say, I won't talk anymore." (To be continued.) )
