Chapter 301: Inspiring
Bai Wan said softly: "Honorable Chairman Jiang, Madame Jiang, all the chiefs, and all the guests, good morning! Today, we are here to celebrate the inauguration of the Chongqing production base of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. First of all, on behalf of the Chinese government, the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Consortium and Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd., I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the guests attending today's ceremony. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who cares about and supports the construction of the Chongqing production base of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd.! Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. is a modern aircraft factory established by the Kingdom of Sweden Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium and the central government, it is the cradle of China's aviation industry in the future, will provide the most advanced aviation weapons and equipment for the construction of China's air force, and will contribute to China's air transport industry. Present at the ceremony today were Mr. Jiang Meiling, chairman of the Central Military Commission, and his wife, Mr. Xiao Weiguo, chairman of the board of directors of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex, who came from afar, General Li Zongren, vice chairman of the Military Commission, and General He Yingqin, minister of military affairs...... Let us once again extend a warm welcome to all the officers and guests with warm applause! First of all, I would like to invite Chairman Chiang of the Central Military Commission to make a speech. Everyone is welcome! ”
Chairman Jiang walked to the rostrum, faced the crowd of nearly 1,000 enthusiastic applause, smiled and stretched out his hands to press a few times, and the applause that broke out in the crowd slowly thinned out. I saw Chairman Chiang's eyes flashing from time to time, and he said loudly in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, today we are holding this ceremony here under the condition that the Japanese Empire has invaded the northeast of our country and supported the puppet state of Manchukuo!" To tell the truth, the contemptible heart is heavy! At present, our Chinese army, navy, and air force are surrounded and oppressed by various imperialists, and with such inconvenient transportation, we feel that the land area is extraordinarily vast. At the same time, I feel that national defense is particularly important. The Prime Minister often said that we should catch up with foreigners in science, and this sentence is even more important for aviation. Our country is bordered by Japan to the east and Soviet Russia to the north. Then war ensued...... In the past, wars were fought on land, but in modern times they have moved to the sea, and in the future they will be in the air. Whoever can lead in the air will be the hegemon of the international political situation. ”
"In recent years, Japan and Russia have spared no effort in the development of the air, and their air force strength is about 1,500 in Japan and about 1,400 in Soviet Russia. In recent years, the trend has come and the trend has come. All countries have shifted their land and naval forces to expand their air forces and soar by leaps and bounds. Britain, the United States, Germany, and Russia each have several thousand aircraft, that is, Japan has advanced backward in aviation, and as a result of the expansion of the air force in recent years, there are more than 1,500 high-precision aircraft. China's air force is only in rudimentary form, and Japan is peeping at our emptiness and attacking our weak points. They have invaded my land and ravaged our famous city. With a small number of planes, I already feel a great deal of oppression, and the situation is in danger. However, the construction of the air force only depends on the purchase of aviation equipment from advanced countries, which is not only quite costly, but also subject to the control of others, and only when China's aviation industry develops rapidly can the contradiction in the construction of China's air force be resolved! ”
"Our government has also made many efforts. However, due to backward technology and financial difficulties, many of the plans to build aircraft factories have also failed, and a few aircraft factories have only been able to build some relatively backward aircraft types, and have not been able to provide strong support for China's aviation industry and the construction of the air force. Look again at our enemies. The aviation industry of the Japanese Empire, the reason why the Japanese aviation industry was able to develop rapidly in a very short period of time is related to its aircraft manufacturing system. For the Army alone, the Artillery Works in Tokyo and the Atsuta Weapons Factory in Nagoya are used to manufacture aircraft airframes, and the Sensa Machine Works in Nagoya are used to manufacture aircraft engines. In terms of private factories, the most important ones are Nakajima Aircraft Works, Mitsubishi Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, and Kawasaki Shipyard. Japan's aviation industry is now embarking on an astonishing technological leap forward, and the new fighter jets made by the Nakajima and Kawasaki factories are enough to boast of the world. After the 18 Incident, Japan vigorously developed aircraft manufacturing, the largest of which was Mitsubishi Corporation's aircraft factory in Nagoya, with more than 3,000 workers, becoming an important base for Japanese aircraft manufacturing. In addition to the continuous expansion of the scale of aircraft manufacturing, Japan's technical level has also been unprecedentedly improved due to the continuous introduction of aircraft manufacturing technology from Britain and the United States. At the end of 1931, the Japanese Navy officially listed the 91 aircraft mass-produced by Nakajima Company as an equipment type. At present, it is also developing its own Type 96 carrier-based fighter. But what about our country? It's just a few backward models that can be built. ”
"Now, the status quo of China's aviation industry has finally been changed, please look at the modern aircraft factory in front of us, which is the result of the in-depth cooperation between the central government of our country and the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium of the Kingdom of Sweden! Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. can be said to be the largest aircraft manufacturing plant in Asia, and we have jointly invested 10 million US dollars to adopt the most advanced pulsating final assembly line, which is a modern aircraft manufacturing plant with three advanced pulsating production lines, a design and development center, and a test center. The annual output of more than 1,000 aircraft can not only meet the needs of China's aviation development and air force construction, but also be exported to other countries. This is the great result of the cooperation between our government and the Kingdom of Sweden Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, we look at the four M30 business transport aircraft in front of the rostrum, the world's most advanced model will soon be put into mass production in this factory, and soon after, there will be a domestic M30 business transport aircraft flying from here to the whole country! At the same time, there are also advanced fighters that will be put into mass production here to equip the soon-to-be-formed air force units of our country! We must build a strong air force! ”
After saying the last sentence, Chairman Jiang was also so excited that he burst into tears! This is a cause that the Chinese have been looking forward to for more than 20 years, building a powerful air force, and this is not something that can be done with just words! Now the completion of the Chongqing production base of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. marks that the development of China's aviation industry will soon enter a fast lane, and it may not be long before it will surpass the Japanese Empire, which is about to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China! At that time, the confrontation between China and Japan will first start from the air, and the final outcome of the war will also be determined by the victory or defeat in the air.
The people in and out of the audience were also extremely excited, their eyes were shining with tears, and the chairman's speech made them feel a burst of blood boiling, and now everyone can't wait to take off the plane and have a life-and-death contest with the little Japanese Air Force!
