"Yes, support until next year, wait for these machinery to be put into operation one after another, and wait for the equipment purchased from the United States to arrive one after another, and the construction will be completed, and our life will be better." Jiang Li sighed slightly, the machinery demolished from Fengtian this time is indeed worth hundreds of millions, plus some purchased, once put into production, it is indeed considerable, but these calculations do not include the war budget, the pace of Japanese aggression will not stop, in order to keep the morale of the 45th Army high, the soldiers of the 45th Army will always be active on the battlefield, dying in battle, replenishing, and consuming a continuous cycle.

Sooner or later, the combat power of an army without a soul will decline, and only by constantly stimulating this army with the War of Resistance can its combat strength be maintained. The expansion of the army, the supply of ordnance, and the research of various weapons add up to an astronomical amount. However, at that time, the pharmaceutical factory should have been on the right track, coupled with the economy of the northwest gradually entering the orbit, it should be able to carry out a steady stream of blood transfusions for the anti-Japanese battlefield. For the future Northwest Industry, Jiang Li is not only satisfied with the Anti-Japanese War, but also allows the Republic of China to shorten the distance between it and the industrial power in the shortest possible time.

"Driving ......" The sound of horses' hooves outside sounded, and the people were still far away, so Zhao Weiting reported to Jiang Lilai that Gao Zhihang was here.

"Throne!" Gao Zhihang, who has never been smiling, said hello to Jiang Li.

"You're here, sit down, pilot, have you arranged the accommodation for the ground crew?" Jiang Li greeted Gao Zhihang warmly, as one of the most important parts of the Northwest Army in the future, Jiang Li is very optimistic about Gao Zhihang.

"Pilots. The ground staff was well treated. The Tibetan governor also gave priority to the allocation of places for us people. But when is the military station going to start building an airfield for us? Gao Zhihang said straight to the point.

"Captain Gao, didn't I tell you before, the production capacity of the cement plant that has been put into operation is still very limited, and it depends on Northeastern University and the arsenal, the airport can only be put aside for the time being, haven't I already sent someone to the place you chose to start leveling the ground? Just wait for the production capacity of the cement plant to be raised, how can some be squeezed out later. ”

Tibetan Yi saw Jiang Li's inquiring eyes. I complained in my heart, Jiang Li also knew about this, but in order to reflect the importance he attached to the Air Force, he deliberately looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't know about it. Needless to say, he has set this black cauldron.

"I also know that the conditions are difficult now, but there is no way, I don't practice handicraft for one day, I don't practice layman for two days, and I don't practice staring for three days. The time dragged on for too long, and those pilots couldn't get on the plane. The technology will be retreated, and when the time comes, if you fight the Japanese army, it will be human life. Gao Zhihang said with a wry smile. During this time, I always asked the pilots to assemble the old planes and take off in some flat places, trying to keep the pilot's skills from falling too much, but those planes were still too old, some parts were worn out, and safety was very lacking. And the number of old-fashioned machines is indeed a little less. ”

"That's right." Jiang Li groaned, his attention to the Air Force was not below that of the Army, "Okay, allocate a quarter of the existing cement share for airport construction, and help the Air Force build a larger airport first." We can't do without the army, otherwise the security of this northwest will not be guaranteed. ”

This decision undoubtedly delayed the reconstruction of Northeastern University, but a bowl of water must be leveled, and Jiang Li did not want the Air Force to decline too much, if he did not take some practical actions, it was inevitable that some pilots would not be pulled back by Nanjing or Zhang Xueliang.

"Captain Gao, the matter of the airport will be handed over to others for the time being, you are afraid that you are going to go out to the ocean, the last battle in the sky, the original planes are almost finished, I want to buy a batch of planes to replenish it, you knowers have to go to Europe to see the goods." Jiang Li said.

"How many planes are you going to buy, and how many are you going to prepare?" Gao Zhihang's eyes lit up.

"You can buy a little more training planes, this time you go out, buy 40 training planes back, another 40 destroyers, 20 bombers, make up the number of 100 planes, you can buy a little more supporting parts, you have to look at the price of things, you can't be led by foreigners, I will give you the money when you set off, 1.5 million US dollars to pay a part of the deposit first, and the rest will be used to buy aviation teaching equipment. The consumption of pilots in the Mukden battle is too great, and it is necessary to build a large aviation school to reserve enough pilots for future air battles. So before you go to the West, you have to start arranging the task of building a new aviation school. Jiang Li thought about it, and he could almost squeeze out these funds for the Air Force.

"Okay, good, rest assured, the lowly position will definitely buy the best plane for the military seat, and will never let the military seat spend money in vain." Hearing Jiang Li's huge plan to purchase planes, the sale is a hundred planes, Gao Zhihang suddenly became excited, plus the nearly forty planes brought from Fengtian, the 45th Army's aircraft will leap to the scale of nearly one hundred and forty, compared with the heyday of the Northeast Air Force, although there were two hundred and fifty or sixty planes of all kinds in the peak period of the Northeast Army in history, but a considerable part of them are old antiques, and some of them can only be parked at the airport because of the wear and tear of parts. The most that can really fly is one hundred and forty or fifty.

Originally, Gao Zhihang came just to urge Jiang Li to allocate more resources to the construction of the airport, but he didn't expect that this trip would be worth the money, not only the construction of the airport was solved, but Jiang Li's support for the construction of the air force was unprecedented in the Republic of China. This military seat, Gao Zhihang was also convinced. Gao Zhihang was born in poverty, and he knew what a difficult task it was to travel thousands of miles to the northwest with an army of nearly 100,000 and hundreds of thousands of people.

In order to provide food and clothing for these people, it is necessary to distribute the fields, provide them with farm tools, seeds, and ploughing cattle so that they can harvest next year. What's more, before coming, there were tens of thousands of Ma Jiajun eyeing each other, and these things added up to torture a person crazy. But so far, although there has been a lot of chaos and some chaos in many places, on the whole, these people who have moved from Mukden are gradually being resettled. It's hard to imagine that you can do this outside of a big war. And Jiang Li's attention to the Air Force has never been seen before. This trip to the Northwest is really the right one.

If Gao Zhihang knew that Jiang Li had begun to invest in an aircraft design company overseas. And a lot of money has been invested, and the best designers of the Republic of China aircraft design have been recruited. I'm afraid I'll be so surprised that my jaw drops. (To be continued.) )
