Chapter 133 Huaxing Airlines was established

Li Tie soon received a telegram from Dai Li, and Li Tie pondered several times about Dai Li's request for him to rebuild the two prisons in Shanghai in the telegram, and to remember Commander Jiang's unrelenting kindness in the past, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice from his heart.

Dare to love Commander Jiang is to let himself make up for it, but for others, this is to make up for it, and for Li Tie, it is unbelievable.

The reconstruction of these two prisons is in his own hands. If he wants to save anyone in the future, it's not a matter of words.

Li Tie happily accepted this task, and immediately sent a telegram to the gopher in the far northeast, asking him to arrange a few good men in the door, and he should immediately devote himself to the reconstruction of the two prisons.

is rich and easy to do, with the wealthy Li Tie coming forward, and then there is the axe gang. It's just that the prison that has been blown up a few breaches and burned down some prison buildings is not a matter of months to repair and reinforce.

This is also thanks to the two division commanders stationed in Shanghai, who deliberately exaggerated the strength of the enemy in order to shirk their own responsibilities, and naturally exaggerated the extent of the damage to the two prisons.

The main body of the prison was not damaged, but a lot of walls and prison buildings were damaged, and with Li Tie's money and efforts, it really took only a month for the two prisons to be repaired and reinforced.

Li Tie even took a lot of effort to clean up the sewers of the prison, and without anyone knowing, the two secret passages have been successfully dug under the two prisons.

When the platoon commander who guarded the prison saw Li Tie with a large number of workers carrying boxes of ocean into Longhua Prison, the platoon commander almost didn't treat Li Tie as an ancestor.

Li Tie is also an open-minded person, and in just a few days, he has become a family with various persons in charge and guards of the prison. A large amount of silver dollars were scattered, and now the guards of the two prisons don't need Li Tie to come in person, but when they see Li Tie's strip, they will take the initiative to open the doors, and now these two prisons have simply become Li Tie's back garden.

While Li Tie was building the two prisons, 10 of the 20 Ford III planes ordered by Huaxing from the United States finally arrived in Shanghai on this day at the end of May.

The aircraft was the world's first all-metal transport aircraft and could carry twelve people, one pilot and one flight attendant, and ten more crew members.

There are separate toilets on board, and in addition to that, the cabin cabin can hold an additional 500 kilograms of cargo. This kind of aircraft has a range of 2,500 kilometers with no load, and can fly 2,000 kilometers with a full load, and a speed of nearly 300 kilometers per hour.

This is currently the most advanced transport aircraft in the world, and it was only five years later that there were transport aircraft in the world that surpassed them in all aspects.

Considering that time is not waiting for me. Li Tie had already established a good cooperative relationship with the Ford Company of the United States through the sale of Ford vehicles for more than a year, and ordered these 20 Ford transport planes at the beginning of 27 years.

At the same time, Li Tie also ordered another 10 small trainer planes from Ford for training at flight schools in Hainan and Hong Kong.

Now, under Li Tie's painless training, 100 members of the Golden Tiger Rangers can fly airplanes proficiently, and nearly 200 educated Hong Kong Huaxing guards are also learning to fly airplanes in Hong Kong Airlines.

According to Li Tie's plan, he planned to train at least 1,000 pilots of various types of aircraft by three or one years.

In this era, airplanes are easy to fly, and many simple airplanes are easier to drive than cars. There are also few instruments, and to put it mildly, if you only learn how to take off and land and fly an airplane, but do not learn combat skills, half a year is enough to train a group of skilled aircraft pilots.

And Li Tie doesn't need to train fighter pilots now, he now needs people who can simply fly planes, and when he fights with Japan in the future, he has a large pilot base, and it will be easier to train fighter pilots.

And ten years later, Li Tie will naturally take advantage of his foresight and provide his pilots with the most advanced fighters. Today, in the laboratory of German engineers in Shanghai, there are several engineers working in flight design.

Under Li Tie's guidance, they have already designed aircraft models that will not be used until 20 years later, including the most famous P47 Thunderbolt fighter and B29 Flying Fortress heavy bomber.

It's just that it's all going on in secret, and it's not going to be made public. Li Tie is already ready to take a good look at the pilots of the little devils in the future war of resistance.

As for the other 10 Ford III transport planes, they were only used by Hong Kong Airlines, on the one hand, because Li Tie wanted to open up several routes to Southeast Asia in Hong Kong, and on the other hand, it was also to prepare for training a large number of bomber pilots.

After all, Hong Kong and Hainan are now their own territory, and they are places where the National Revolutionary Army cannot reach out at present and in the future, so it is naturally more suitable for its own development and for cultivating all kinds of backbone cadres.

In order to realize his wishes in the future, the most important thing for him now is to increase his economic strength, after all, whether it is raising troops or waging war, money and food are the first element.

At present, there is no airline in the Republic of China, so Li Tie's Huaxing company is the first to eat crabs. Because the whole country is still in a situation of warlordism, every city that wants to open a route must send people to communicate.

Now that the ten transport planes have arrived, Li Tie is only in arrears for everything, and now Li Tie only needs to wait for the permission of the warlords in various places, and his Shanghai Airlines can be officially operated.

Now the airports of Guangzhou, Wuhan, Shanghai, Beijing and Chongqing have agreed to open routes with Huaxing Airlines. However, Shenyang in the northeast has not been approved. It turned out that the Japanese had been preventing Zhang Zuolin from opening Shenyang's airspace. Finally, under the multi-party operation of Li Tie, in the end, one day at the end of July, the Shenyang route was opened.

So, on August 1, 27, it was the day of the armed uprising in Nanchang, and Shanghai Huaxing Airlines was officially put into business, with Shanghai as the center, and there was a flight between the two cities every morning.

Although the plane can only carry 10 people at a time, short-haul airlines that lose money abroad make money in China.

Because now Huaxing Airlines is the only company in the country that can operate nationwide, two years earlier than the airline jointly established by the government of the Republic of China and the Curtis Wright Aircraft Company of the United States.

So despite the ridiculously high price of each ticket, the business is still not in demand, if it weren't for Ford's production that can't keep up, Li Tie really wants to buy dozens of more planes for him.

Even if the aircraft will be obsolete in a few years, in the future battlefield, as long as it is slightly changed, it will be a good bomber.

In August, when Li Tie's airline business was booming, the Nanjing Revolutionary Government suddenly merged with the Wuhan Revolutionary Government, and the two were merged into one and renamed the Nanjing Government.

After the re-merger into one government, Commander Chiang was ostracized by the elders of the party and sent a telegram to the opposition on August 13. Therefore, on this day in the middle of the year, Commander Jiang was distracted, and he also wanted to come to Shanghai to see how the prison that Li Tie promised to rebuild was doing.

On the morning of the 20th, a group of uninvited guests came to Li Tie's Huaxing Foreign Company. When Dai Li took Commander Jiang and his entourage into Huaxing to visit, although Li Tie looked down on Commander Jiang's character in his heart, as one of the most powerful people in China at present, Li Tie had to make a gesture.

Under Li Tie's warm hospitality, Li Tie's meeting with Commander Jiang was friendly and fruitful. Li Tie first led Commander Jiang to visit the headquarters of Huaxing Foreign Bank.

Then led everyone to the Shanghai No. 1 Prison located in the Public Concession. Seeing the freshly painted and more majestic and solid Shanghai No. 1 Prison, Commander Jiang finally showed a satisfied smile.

Li Tie just took the opportunity to get close to Commander Chiang, and expressed his admiration for Commander Chiang for the revolutionary army in the name of his fellow countrymen.

Li Tie is young, but his sycophants are not weak, and the sycophants without a trace are stunned to make Commander Jiang happy, although Li Tie took advantage of Commander Jiang's happiness to propose to take the opportunity to banquet Commander Jiang and his party.

It's a pity that although Li Tie is very famous in Shanghai now, in the eyes of these bigwigs in the Republic of China and in the eyes of the warlords in the country, he really can't be on the stage, so Commander Jiang shirked his official duties.

In fact, Commander Jiang only wanted to visit Huaxing, but it was just a form of walking, after all, in the past year or so of the Northern Expedition, Huaxing Company has contributed money and efforts. Li Tie donated money and guns, and now he has donated money to rebuild two prisons in Shanghai. Therefore, it is reasonable for Commander Jiang to come and take a turn.

In the morning, Commander Jiang also had to have a meeting with the bigwigs of all parties in Shanghai, including the three tycoons in Shanghai, as well as the military and political dignitaries of all parties, so he could not stay with Li Tie for long.

However, it is rare for the future President Jiang to come, and at the same time, with Dai Li by his side, Li Tie still found an opportunity to pat his chest and promise that he Li Tie would cover all the expenses of Commander Jiang in Shanghai during this period of time.

As soon as he heard that Li Tie was so all-encompassing, Commander Jiang was also in a good mood, and he must have come this time, although he had nominally gone to the field, but he still had a lot of power in his hands.

With the mess in the party, no one but him can clean it up, and he believes that it won't be long before these old party members who kicked him away will have to beg him to go back to office.

Therefore, Commander Jiang did not lose the battle on this trip, and there were dozens of entourages and security personnel alone. This stay in Shanghai is more than half a month, which is really indispensable.

It's rare for Li Tie to be on the road like this, knowing that he lacks nothing but lacks money, so the more Commander Jiang looks at Li Tie, a little fellow countryman, the more he likes it.

Originally, he shirked Li Tie's banquet at noon just now, but now that he saw that there was still some time before noon, he couldn't help but ask, what else can Huaxing Company visit.

Li Tie immediately struck while the iron was hot and invited Commander Jiang to visit Shanghai Huaxing Airlines, and Commander Jiang naturally went happily.
