Chapter 286: Going to China Again
The establishment of the Dragon Soul Security Company, using the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, has its own military force, although this military force is still very small, and it is nominally engaged in security services, in fact, Xiao Weiguo is preparing to develop it into a special force, a private army.
After the establishment of the Dragon Soul Security Company, it began to train strictly, and now the company has not yet conducted business with the outside world, mainly training, and uses advanced special forces training methods to train these retired soldiers. However, soon Dragon Soul Security Company had its first business, which was to protect Xiao Weiguo to China and participate in the inauguration ceremony of the production base of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd.
I haven't seen Anna and Bai Wanrou for nearly a year, and Xiao Weiguo actually misses them a lot, so Xiao Weiguo is also very excited to go to China this time. Of course, he will lead Lucas with him on this trip, and he will send 4 of the best security guards of the Dragon Soul Security Company as accompanying bodyguards.
Lucas is also very excited, he has always longed for China, but he has not had the opportunity to go. Now Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is also on the right track, so he can have the opportunity to go to China with Xiao Weiguo. Now he is the general manager of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which is also a member of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex, and Lucas also wants to see what China is like and why Xiao Weiguo values the Chinese market so much.
Lucas is also very optimistic about the future development, and now he feels that as long as he follows Xiao Weiguo, he will definitely succeed. Under his control, Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will definitely become the best subsidiary of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, Lucas secretly cheered himself up. After all, now Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. not only has the M40 large transport aircraft project, but also the M30 business transport aircraft is being mass-produced, and now there are orders from Spain, and there are also hundreds of aircraft. And it still has to be delivered in a few months.
On January 15, 1934, Xiao Weiguo led the general manager of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., three personnel from the headquarters of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex, and four security guards of Dragon Soul Security Company, a total of nine people took the M30 business jet to China, preparing to attend the inauguration ceremony of the production base of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. This time, they will also pass through India and Myanmar. Then fly from Yunnan, China, to Chongqing.
A year has passed, Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. has finally completed the basic construction, which means that it will soon be put into production, of course, it is first through the assembly of M30 transport aircraft from the parts shipped from Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and now Chinese airlines are ready to order 50 such aircraft to meet the rapidly expanding passenger and cargo transportation requirements, the original American transport aircraft performance is too poor, the economy is not good, and now Chinese airlines are waiting for the M30 transport aircraft to reverse the loss. Other than that. The Chinese government also wants to purchase a batch of M30 transport aircraft to be used as a special transport aircraft for the military, or even as bombers.
After the Japanese army launched the "September 18 Incident" in 1931 to swallow Northeast China, it provoked the Shanghai January 28 Incident in 1932, and then concentrated its superior forces to invade and occupy Rehe in the first half of 1933, launched a large-scale attack on the line of the Great Wall, and pointed the spearhead of aggression at the whole of North China. In the Songhu and Great Wall War of Resistance, despite the stubborn resistance of the Chinese military and civilians. However, the Japanese army, relying on superior equipment, especially strong air power, inflicted heavy losses on the Chinese military and civilians. Many formed units, including Chiang's direct line of the Central Army, suffered casualties and suffered great losses under the indiscriminate bombing by Japanese planes.
China has less than 300 aircraft of various types, and all of them are very backward models, which are simply not able to effectively fight the Japanese air force, while Japan alone has 2,700 combat aircraft. Relying on air superiority, the Japanese army flaunted its might in the Chinese skies, and Japanese planes could fly in formations along the Great Wall and in the Pingjin area. It is even common to fly to Nanjing, the capital of China, to conduct reconnaissance. However, China's territorial air defense is a blank slate, and many important cities and key targets do not even have the most basic air defense facilities, such as anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and air-raid shelters.
Under the double pressure of Japanese aggression and the nation's anti-Japanese cries, Chiang was forced to put the country's air defense on the agenda. In view of the fact that the country's air defense forces were extremely weak and there was an extreme shortage of manpower, funds, and materials at that time, the military department was instructed to directly organize air defense construction in Nanjing. January 1934. The Nanjing Military Commission ordered the merger of the antiaircraft artillery training team, the air defense research class, and the air defense noncommissioned corps, and set up an air defense school in Jianqiao, Hangzhou, and appointed Huang Zhenqiu as the school's principal to train air defense professionals. Under such circumstances, the Chinese government and army also realized the importance of the construction of the air force's weapons and equipment, and it was impossible to win the victory against the Japanese without a strong air force.
When the M30 business transport plane flew into China's airspace again, Xiao Weiguo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he was going to return to this land soon, and he was going to see Anna and Bai Wanrou again, and I don't know if they have changed? Xiao Weiguo felt that he really owed the two of them, but now he really had no choice, and Anna was willing to stay in China to build a career. Now the newly completed production base of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. does not know what it looks like, although it is modeled after the production base in Sweden, but there are also many Chinese characteristics.
Lucas was very excited, he looked at the mountains that kept receding under his feet, and said excitedly: "Philip, you see that the land of China is completely different from that of Europe!" Even though it's winter, you can still see green in these lands, and even these peaks are completely different from the peaks of Europe! ”
Xiao Weiguo nodded and said: "Yes, China is an ancient oriental ancient country, the people here are also industrious and kind since ancient times, with extraordinary wisdom, only in the past hundred years the rise of European industrialization surpassed, but now there are many Chinese aware of the importance of industrialization, naturally we come to China to invest in the establishment of aircraft factories, it is particularly welcomed by them, you will know how enthusiastic the Chinese are for us." ”
Lucas muttered as he looked out the porthole, "Really? Then I want to get to Chongqing as soon as possible! The scenery outside is so beautiful, China I'm coming! (To be continued.) )
