For an army aviation pilot like Liu Mingqiang, who came from the Royal Air Force of the Donghua Empire, the army aviation pilots who came to western Yunnan to train the Yunnan army were simply asking for hardship.

After returning to China, these former pilots of the Air Force of the National Revolutionary Army, deeply realized how wise and fortunate they were to decide to follow Jin Chengye to fight the world overseas.

Without those flight simulators in the Royal Air Force Academy on Paradise Island, it is difficult for Liu Mingqiang to train a soldier of the Yunnan Army who has never touched a helicopter and has high Chinese to become a qualified army aviation pilot.

Fortunately, the reserve pilots of the army aviation unit recruited by the Yunnan army were all very able to endure hardships, and even if they were allowed to study and train for 16 hours a day, they did not complain. Everyone is like a sponge absorbing water, racing against time to absorb all kinds of aviation knowledge taught by Liu Mingqiang and his instructors.

It is the so-called easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to return to simplicity from luxury. Accustomed to advanced helicopters such as the Feimi 24, Mi-28, and MV22, suddenly letting them come to the Feimi 4 to change this kind of piston engine helicopter is really a grinding and test for the pilots from the Army Aviation Unit of the Royal Donghua Air Force.

More than four months ago, Liu Mingqiang bid farewell to his wife and children who had come to see him off at Changxing Port in Zhennan Prefecture, boarded a Warrior-class destroyer, and went with the fleet to carry out escort missions in the South China Sea, thousands of miles away.

Escorting Donghua ocean-going merchant ships has long been a normal task of the Royal Navy. Although life at sea is far more difficult than on land, and he has to leave his wife and daughter who have just completed the moon, Liu Mingqiang is not depressed. Because after completing the three-month escort mission, he was able to return to Zhennan Prefecture with the fleet, and he was promoted two years ahead of schedule.

As far as the captain pilot, who is already 30 years old, can be promoted to major before 35 years ago, his future will be brighter.

What Liu Mingqiang didn't expect was that just when the fleet was about to return, a conscription order made him and his co-captain transfer to Longling, an important town in western Yunnan, China, and put on the uniform of the Chinese Volunteers who had been applying for but had not been approved for a long time.

Becoming a volunteer to aid China and returning to China to fight the Japanese is a lofty honor that all the officers and men of the Donghua Royal Navy, Army and Air Force aspire to. It's a pity that the superiors have extremely strict standards for the review of volunteers who aid China.

In the words of those volunteers who have been allowed to go to China to aid China, being able to become volunteers represents the elite of the elite of the Donghua Royal Navy, Army and Air Force, and represents the face of the Great Donghua Empire. Only the true elite have such qualifications.

Liu Mingqiang has always considered himself an elite, and now he can return to China to take the pilots of the Yunnan Army Army for ultra-low-altitude flight training, which is not only his affirmation of himself, but also the recognition of him by his superiors.

He Zhijian, the co-pilot who has cooperated with him for two years, is driving another Mi-4 multi-functional helicopter of the same model behind the Mi-4 helicopter piloted by Liu Mingqiang, and is also carrying out ultra-low-altitude flight training tasks like him.

Under the interference of an updraft, the Mi-4 driven by Liu Mingqiang vibrated violently. Immediately afterwards, the height indicator temporarily installed on the instrument panel issued a yellow warning signal.

With the sharp buzzer of the warning device, Liu Mingqiang and Lu Yougong, the co-pilot on the right, lowered the joystick at the same time and withdrew some throttle. Like a drunken drunk, the helicopter flew headlong into the Grand Canyon ahead.

It wasn't until the yellow warning signal and buzzer disappeared that Liu Mingqiang and Lu Yougong pulled back the joystick and controlled the throttle. The co-pilot, Lu Yougong, also took the opportunity to wipe the sweat from his face.

Why fly so low?

Lu Yougong remembered that Instructor Liu Mingqiang said that the helicopter flying in the canyon must have been to avoid radar, shorten the noise transmission distance, and reach its destination in a covert way.

Instructor Liu Mingqiang has repeatedly emphasized that Little Japan now also has a radar, and Little Japan's Type 98 helicopter is actually a Japanese-made copycat version of this Mi-4 helicopter. If you want to defeat the army and air defense forces of little Japan, you must be proficient in this ultra-low-altitude flight technology that can evade radar detection.

Every time he traveled from Longling to Ruili, Liu Mingqiang would take Lu Yougong to fly an ultra-low-altitude training, and he also specially told the radar stations of Longling and Ruili to monitor the whole process and cooperate.

This kind of flight training is now very widespread in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. In addition to the Mi-4 helicopter, there are also P51 Mustang fighters, AD-1 attack aircraft, C54 transport aircraft, and B29 bombers. In Long Zizhou's original words, the equipment and scale of today's Yunnan Air Force are definitely the number one in China.

Donghua's state-owned military enterprises and private joint-stock military enterprises are now capable of industrializing and mass-producing various types of sea, land and air weapons and equipment, such as Mi-4 helicopters, P51 fighters, C54 transport planes, B29 bombers, F8F fighters, AD-1 attack aircraft, T34/85 tanks, Type 63 amphibious tanks, Type 63 tracked armored transport vehicles, 4X4CA10 military trucks, 6X6CA30 load-carrying military trucks, Keeling-class destroyers, Huchuan-class torpedo boats, and so on.

Orders from all over the world made all the state-owned and private military enterprises of the Donghua Empire work overtime to produce at full capacity. It was the mass production of these military products that further consolidated the foundation of the national industrial system of the Donghua Empire.

Obviously, Cheng Gong's purpose is to deliberately use these weapons and equipment that he does not look down on, so that the military enterprises of the Donghua Empire can not only create the gross national industrial production value but also systematically cultivate the industrial workers of the Donghua Empire under the premise of getting sufficient orders.

As for additional civilian products from military to civilian, that's even more. Those who can build airplanes and tanks can definitely build trucks and cars; Those who can build warships will of course build civilian ships; Units that can make guns naturally have enough technology to engage in large and small hardware products.

All in all, both the Axis countries and the Allied countries have a huge demand for the military products exported by the Donghua Empire.

While exporting military products to these countries, and by the way, producing a batch of arms and weapons to China, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces, no country dared to stand up and criticize the Donghua Empire's move of lifting the arms embargo against China.

The expansion of the territory naturally loosened and lowered the immigration standards of the Donghua Empire. As a result, the Jewish refugees who fled from various European countries regarded the Donghua Empire as a paradise on earth.

After integrating and absorbing industrial and mining enterprises and skilled workers from the former colonies of Australia, New Zealand, and the Dutch East Indies, the industrial workers of the East China Empire have exceeded 10 million. This also makes the industrial capacity of the Donghua Empire infinitely close to that of the two major industrial powers of the United States and Germany.

The unique geographical location, coupled with the strong military power of the Donghua Empire, virtually made the territory under the jurisdiction of the Donghua Empire a comfortable and pure land.

National governance has entered the rapid track of stable development, and Cheng Gong has once again become the shopkeeper and quietly thinking about action. Secretly aboard an escort cruiser, he quietly came to Yunnan Province and conducted a covert visit and investigation of the combat effectiveness of the reorganized Yunnan army, and the results were quite satisfactory.

Otherwise, Cheng Gong would not reveal his whereabouts and let Long Zizhou know that he had come to Yunnan Province.

It's a pity that there is not much time left for Yunnan Province now, and no matter how fast the construction progress of the Ruili defense line is, there is still a big gap from the standard in Cheng Gong's heart. But even so, Cheng Gong can also assert that the little devil wants to enter the territory of Yunnan Province as easily as in history, and there is no door!
