Jiang also chimed in: "Yes, the only reliable force to save our country now is the air force." This is because China's army and navy have not been able to compare with others in recent years, no matter how much they have been trained. If we want the navy and army to keep pace with others, it will take at least twenty or thirty years of hard work; And when we move forward, people are also moving forward, we must make progress faster than him, and then we can catch up! Therefore, it is too late to rely on the army and navy to save the country. Only in addition to the army and navy, pay attention to the air force, as long as we can redouble our efforts, the air force can always catch up with others! For example, the air force of a certain country has only 400 combatants, and according to our plan, we will definitely be able to catch up in four years, but there is one condition, that is, we must redouble our efforts. If you can redouble your efforts, after four years, you can compete with the other side; Therefore, the Air Force is the only force to save the country. ”

Xiao Weiguo nodded and said, "Indeed, the construction of the Air Force is a huge and extremely complex project, especially for a big country like China. Although our Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex can help the Chinese Air Force provide advanced combat aircraft, we still need to do more research on the specific content of the Air Force construction. ”

Jiang laughed and said: "We have a plan for a long time, and now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." I think this is the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium to introduce advanced fighters to the Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. for production, so as to meet the needs of our air force construction. In the world, since the emergence of the independent air force structure, the air forces of the advanced aviation countries, after more than 10 years of exploration and development, have formed a relatively mature organizational model, that is, a three-legged air force combat organization form consisting of a reconnaissance aviation unit, a combat aviation unit, and a crit air force (also known as a bomber air force), in which the reconnaissance air force is mainly responsible for strategic and tactical reconnaissance missions, the combat air force is mainly responsible for high-altitude and low-altitude combat missions, and the critique air force is responsible for bombing missions. Back in 1931. The Chinese Government has drawn up the "Air Force Operational Air Defense Plan" and decided to organize China's air force in three forms of air force combat organization: reconnaissance air force, combat air force, and bomber air force. At that time, it was envisaged that a total of 36 squadrons of three types of aviation would be built, and 405 aircraft would be required. In terms of regional allocation, all kinds of aviation teams are centered on Luoyang, focusing on Nanchang, Jiangxi, Jurong, Jiangsu and other places. ”

Mrs. Jiang also replied: "Yes." In June 1932, with the help of American adviser Qiu Weite and others, the Chinese government formulated the "Five-Year Plan for the Construction and Air Defense of the Air Force." An important element of this plan is to divide the country into 10 air defense zones and allocate forces according to the importance of each region. The focus of troop deployment is on the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui regions with Nanjing as the center, the Henan and Shandong regions with Luoyang as the center, and the Guangdong and Guizhou regions with Guangzhou as the center. The goal of the five-year construction period was to be able to meet the needs of 1,000 aircraft: 2,000 pilots, 2,000 mechanics, and 4,000 military assistants and technicians, in 1932 and 1933. In Hangzhou, Nanjing, Beiping and Luoyang, four aviation schools were completed. However, it is a pity that our government does not have the financial resources to support such a huge construction, so Mr. Xiao Weiguo must have also seen that most of the goals in the current plan have not been completed. ”

Jiang said with emotion: "Yes, our plan always can't catch up with the changes, the changes in the past two years are too great, first Nanjing was threatened by the Japanese Navy, and our government moved the capital to Luoyang." Later, due to the elimination of the threat, it moved back to Nanying. Originally, according to the plan, an aircraft factory and an engine factory were built. The two plants plan to produce 100 aircraft per year. It is planned to set up a large-scale aircraft factory in Luoyang first, starting with the repair of aircraft, and gradually expand to the manufacture of aircraft wings, and have the capacity to produce 150 to 250 aircraft this year; At the same time, an aircraft engine manufacturing plant will be set up in Luoyang, and after all the projects are completed this year, it will have the capacity to manufacture about 300 engines per year. Due to the Anti-Japanese War, the situation has become increasingly severe. These plans have not had time to be implemented, but fortunately, our Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. has settled in Chongqing, which has finally solved our urgent need, and I think that with this factory, it can be worthy of the ten factories in our plan. And even more than that! ”

Madame Chiang also said excitedly: "Now our plan is to build 1 senior aviation school and 2 junior branches by 1936, and train 800 pilots; Build 48 teams of the Air Force, including 21 standing destroyers, 315 aircraft, 9 reconnaissance aircraft, 135 aircraft, 18 bomber teams, 180 aircraft, a total of 630 aircraft! Since our aircraft factory construction plan is not very successful, these aircraft will depend on our Chongqing factory! We hope that Mr. Xiao Weiguo can transfer the most advanced fighter technology to us to help China build a strong air force, and your company can develop even bigger when the time comes! ”

Xiao Weiguo nodded and said: "The plan that the two of you said is indeed very good, but everything must be done step by step, and you can't rush it!" In my opinion, the construction of the Chinese air force should first start with the construction of fighter units, and only with advanced fighter planes can we defend the national territory and resist the air force of the Japanese Empire. Of course, fighter jets alone are not enough, because fighter aircraft are only a defensive type of aircraft, and to defeat the enemy, they also need bombers, which are offensive air forces, especially long-range bombers, which are important forces to achieve strategic air strikes. ”

Jiang said suspiciously: "Mr. Xiao Weiguo, as far as I know, isn't the close-range support bombing tactic very popular in Europe?" At present, the types of aircraft developed by European countries are basically dive bombers for close support, especially for our country, it seems that it is really difficult to bomb the base camp of the Japanese from a long distance! ”

Xiao Weiguo said with a straight face: "Chairman of the National People's Congress, you must know that the Air Force must become a separate branch of the military, it is not in a subordinate and supporting position in a country's army, but to establish a long-range aviation force with the ability to independently complete strategic tasks!" Especially like you, China, which has such a vast area, is a country that needs a long-range bomber force. If it is only limited to supporting ground operations, it will be reduced to an out-and-out front-line aviation, or even an air defense force dominated by air defense, which will lead to a passive and defeated fate! Therefore, the building of a country's air force should be directed toward the goal of building a large air force with strong strength, sufficient reserves, and balanced forces. ”

Hearing Xiao Weiguo's analysis, both Jiang and Madame Jiang couldn't help but applaud his theory of air force construction, and it is true that the construction of China's air force is too lacking in theoretical guidance now! This in-depth and simple analysis made Xiao Weiguo's status in Jiang someone's heart a little higher, and he now understands why this young man who is only in his twenties can single-handedly create a powerful Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex! Such military talent, even in the army of any country, can definitely achieve the rank of general! (To be continued.) )
