The headquarters of the Army Air Corps was not located in the dilapidated and cramped buildings of the Army Headquarters, but in a small two-story building at the very back.

In addition to the office of the Army Airlines, there is also a file room in the Army Archives Department, and several rooms on the first floor are filled with thick documents. When Zhang Cheng passed by, he looked through the window with an iron fence, and the stacks of documents that filled the room made Zhang Cheng miss the storage hard disk of modern time and space.

When Zhang Cheng walked into the office of Lu Airlines, the few small fish and shrimp had been waiting for a long time.

"Sir." After Zhang Cheng pushed open the office door, several lieutenant-level officers quickly stood up and saluted. Even if he didn't know who Zhang Cheng was, the military uniform of the school officer and the rank of colonel on his shoulder were enough to prove that his identity was a salute.

"Hmm." Zhang Cheng replied with a military salute and asked, "Is the commander here?" ”

Zhang Chengwen's commander was not Marshal Yang Zhuo, but the commander of the Army Airlines.

"The commander has been officially transferred to the 31st Army, and he left yesterday." A lieutenant hurriedly replied.

Lu Hang really has no future now, and as a commander, he is also very sad. After receiving the order to take up a post in the army, the elated commander of the army aviation quickly packed his bags and left in a hurry. As for why he was transferred, the main reason was to give Zhang Cheng a space to display his talents, so that Zhang Cheng would have someone pointing fingers at his head. Not to mention anything else, both Marshal Yang Zhuo and Lieutenant General Shi Qin attach great importance to the talented Zhang Cheng.

"Transferred?" Zhang Cheng frowned, and asked in confusion, "Who is the new commander?" ”

"There are no specific orders." The lieutenant shook his head in response.

"Forget it." Zhang Cheng didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, and after glancing at a few people in the small office, he introduced himself, "My name is Zhang Cheng, and I am the new director of the Army Air Corps. From now on, before the new commander did not take office. I have the final say in the matter of Lu Hang. ”

"Yes!" Several officers quickly saluted.

"Is there an office for me?" Zhang Cheng looked around, frowned and asked.

"This," the lieutenant looked around with an embarrassed expression.

The reality is that the underappreciated Army Aviation is very shabby in the office space of the Army Command, which is already a small space. Standing office.

"Forget it." Zhang Cheng shook his head: "I'll borrow the commander's office for the time being." After a pause, he looked at the lieutenants, "All the information of the army aviation." Personnel, aircraft, airfields, bases, supplies, establishments, training plans, and so on are all brought in by me! ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Cheng attaches great importance to Lu Airlines. Because he comes from modern time and space, he deeply knows how irreplaceable the importance of the air force is to the future battlefield.

From the morning, I sat behind my desk to learn more about the current strength of the army airline, and did not leave this two-story building until nightfall. Even the noon meal was a meal for the lieutenant to help him go to the cafeteria.

When the window was already covered by night, Zhang Cheng, who had been carefully flipping through various materials, stretched his waist and inadvertently glanced at the clock hanging on the wall before he was stunned to realize that it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.

The sweat on Zhang Cheng's head flowed down instantly. It's not like you don't have dinner and your stomach starts to growl. The important thing is that Zhang Cheng finally remembered that he and Lin Run'e would be better off watching dramas, but now they have been late for a long time!

He grabbed his coat and rushed out of the office, and when he saw that several lieutenants had not yet left work, he hurriedly shouted to get off work, and then ran away from the army commander. Xiao Hongbao, Guan Kuo and the others' cars have been parked outside waiting for him.

"Hurry." After getting into the car in a hurry, Zhang Cheng was a little flustered and urged Xiao Hongbao to drive quickly. Being late for the appointment, and having been late for such a long time, Zhang Cheng helplessly raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. Originally, Lin Run'e was a little sensitive, but now that this kind of thing has happened again, Zhang Cheng is a little helpless.

"Sorry, I'm late." After Zhang Cheng got out of the car, he immediately came to Lin Run'e, who was standing outside the door of the theater, and held her white and tender little hand with a guilty face and whispered sorry.

"Hmm." Lin Run'e, who had been waiting for a long time, paused slightly, then raised her hand to pin her hair and nodded slightly. A dry smile appeared on his face, "It's okay, I haven't been here for long." ”

Zhang Cheng sighed lightly, and a look of self-blame flashed in his eyes. raised his eyes and looked at the theater that had begun to end, and after glancing at Wang Yan's subordinates not far away, he took Lin Run'e's hand and went to the car to eat. It's so late that I didn't even have time to eat dinner. Zhang Cheng, who felt guilty in his heart, was determined to make up for the girl who made him feel distressed

When Zhang Cheng entered the army aviation, he quickly entered his role and began to carry out a large-scale reorganization for the army aviation.

As for the 1st Tank Division, there is nothing important for the time being. After Zhang Cheng sent the equipment over, the troops trained directly according to the training program he had prepared. Whether it is Major General Peng Kuo or Lu Zhiyuan and Junmo, who are officially transferred to the past, are all professional soldiers, and they will complete these things very well in reorganizing the troops and arranging training.

Marshal Yang Zhuo gave Zhang Cheng a large amount of military expenses for the reorganization of the army aviation. Mr. Zhang used the money to buy 200 planes in his factory, mainly for pilot training. Zhang Cheng knew very well in his heart that what Army Airlines needed now was not thousands of new aircraft, but pilots in urgent need!

Without excellent pilots, no amount of advanced aircraft will be able to exert their powerful combat effectiveness. Although the military has begun to promote the development of civilian aviation clubs, it is unlikely to achieve results in a short period of time with the current economic situation.

As for the training method of pilots, Zhang Cheng, who is familiar with the history of World War II, already has an idea in his heart.

First of all, we must not let the pilots keep playing with their lives on the battlefield like Germany, and they will be pulled to the death. Second, we should not concentrate on training a group of very good pilots to gain an advantage in the early stages of the war, as the Japanese did.

Although these methods have just started a war, when the opponent has not yet exerted their strength, and in some small wars, the role and benefits are very great. But once you encounter a large-scale war of attrition, you will quickly play yourself to death.

Zhang Cheng finally decided to choose batch training. First of all, in the current economic situation, the only way to do this is to train a group of excellent pilots in a centralized manner. Wait until the economic situation improves and military spending increases, and then conduct large-scale training with excellent pilots as the core.

In fact, for piston engine aircraft, a college student in science and engineering has about a year of training from rookie to adult. After surviving the last few battlefields, he immediately became an old fritter. World War II time axis. What the heart lacks is time and fuel, and they do not lack highly capable talents and aircraft.

The method that Zhang Cheng intends to use is similar to the method used by the navy today. It's just that compared with the wealthy navy, Zhang Cheng's scale is smaller.

The training base was chosen by Zhang Cheng near an important city in the southwest of the imperial capital. Zhang Cheng was not interested in sending a large number of personnel and materials far away to a place where no one was cold for the sake of secrecy. As long as the strength is in place, what if you are seen? Why send people to such a distant place to suffer and suffer?

The military has always been resolute in its work. The Army's aviation force, which received much attention, soon had its own engineering unit, and a large number of engineers were stationed in the suburbs of important cities southwest of the imperial capital to build large training bases. The project is progressing very quickly.

At the same time, Zhang Cheng's aircraft factory will also gradually produce and deliver the aircraft prepared for the training of the army aviation. The recruitment of pilots has also begun.

In addition to the original pilots of the Army Airlines, Zhang Cheng recruited hundreds of outstanding graduates from several well-known domestic science and engineering colleges. With the current economic situation, it is really a real number of graduates vying to join the military, especially the well-paid air force pilots. On the second day after Zhang Cheng took office as the director of the Army Airlines, he made a report and applied to adjust the ranks of all pilots to the first to be a second lieutenant!

Even in the navy, which is recognized as the best-paid, pilots in the Navy start with the rank of warrant officer.

Zhang Cheng's report was quickly replied to, and all the pilots of the Army Aviation were adjusted in rank and started as second lieutenants. The treatment of officers is completely different from that of non-commissioned officers, especially in this economic situation where they cannot find a job, so you can imagine how high the quality of pilots recruited by the army is. Even Vice Admiral Yunmo took the initiative to call Zhang Cheng to complain that because of Zhang Cheng's actions, the navy had to promote the pilots.

When Zhang Cheng was like a fish in water in the army, the situation in the outside world became more and more serious. A large number of factories and enterprises began to close down, and more and more people joined the ranks of the unemployed. The two industrial revolutions brought a large number of workers to the Ming Dynasty, all of whom became unstable after losing their jobs. Shousuke-sama also noticed that something was wrong, and began to find ways to deal with the current serious situation.

First of all, military spending has been drastically reduced. After all, if you want to do anything, you must first have money. Nothing can be done without money. Military spending, which is the bulk of fiscal expenditure, is bound to be cut under the current circumstances. Both the Army and the Navy have embraced this fact. They are not blind, and they can see what the economy is like right now.

With contingency funds and necessary maintenance expenditures left behind, military spending on the purchase of new equipment is gone. Fortunately, the army got a large amount of money through Zhang Cheng, so that it was able to continue to promote some projects. The navy, which has always been lavish, is in big trouble, and he is short of money, and he has suspended the bidding for new aircraft carriers. Now everyone is trying to get money to survive the winter.

It's not just Daming. The economy of Daming is now seriously ill, and the situation in all countries of the world is even more serious than that of Daming!
