The two sides then discussed many details, such as the organizational structure of the board of directors and management of the new company, the project schedule of the new company, etc., and most of the details of the cooperation were agreed upon, but in the end there was a disagreement on the location of the factory.

Philip unexpectedly proposed to build Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. in Chongqing, which is located in the southwest, and even Dai Yulong and Bai Wanrou wondered for a while after hearing this, did this Philip take the wrong medicine or what? If you don't choose Nanjing or Shanghai, you have to choose Chongqing? The conditions for building a new plant in Nanjing or Shanghai are much better than in Chongqing. Nanjing or Shanghai are both economically developed big cities, one is still the capital, most of the Chinese arsenals are concentrated near Nanjing, and the geographical location here is also good, the equipment and materials transported from abroad are easy to come in from the Yangtze River, plus it is a plain, is it not many times better than Chongqing, which is full of mountains?

There is nothing wrong with Dai Yulong and Bai Wanrou's idea itself, and it is indeed the best choice for the new factory to be built near Nanjing. But don't forget, Philip is a traveler, and he knows better than the five opposite him about the direction of history in the next few years, Nanjing will fall in a few years, all the arsenals will be moved to the southwest, including the Jinling Arsenal, and the future 21st Arsenal will settle in Chongqing. Although the arrival of Philip has changed the direction of the history of this world, he does not believe that he can make China win against Japan by relying on his Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd.

Another key factor is that Philip was a native of Sichuan in his previous life, and he also did this out of some selfishness, hoping that Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. was built in Chongqing, which could drive the economic development of Sichuan and benefit the people of his hometown. Again. In a few years, Chongqing will become the wartime capital, and most of the country's arsenals, aviation schools, universities, and airlines will move to Chongqing, and Chongqing will usher in a great development. If Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. takes root in Chongqing in advance, it can also play a role in promoting future development.

David Yu was puzzled and said: "Mr. Philip, why did you choose Chongqing to build a factory?" You know, it's far from our economic and industrial center, and it's a mountain town. Both transportation and infrastructure are far inferior to Nanjing and Shanghai. We think that the construction of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. in Nanjing and Shanghai should be the most suitable, can you tell us why you chose it? ”

Of course, Philip could not say that Nanjing would be occupied by the Japanese in a few years, he thought for a while and said: "Director Yu, you may not have taken into account that now that the Japanese have occupied the entire territory of Northeast China, they will definitely map North China and East China again in the future, and Nanjing and Shanghai may become the key places for the Japanese Air Force to take care of, such as arsenals and aircraft factories, which will be important targets for the Japanese bombing." It is very close to the Japanese mainland. In addition, the Japanese have aircraft carriers, and fighters can take off from aircraft carriers at any time to bomb our factories. While it seems relatively peaceful now, who can guarantee that it will be peaceful in the next few years? ”

David Yu was still puzzled: "Mr. Philip, even if you speculate, you shouldn't choose Chongqing!" As you probably don't know, Chongqing is a relatively backward city, it was only established two years ago, and its industrial base is compared to Nanjing and Shanghai. It's not half a bit, you know. The ordnance industry cannot survive and develop in isolation, and needs the cooperation and support of other industries. To manufacture guns, only machinery and equipment are not enough, and high-quality steel and special steel are also needed; To make ammunition, a variety of metal materials such as copper and lead and a variety of chemical raw materials are required. To make machinery and equipment work, electricity, coal coke, and oil are needed. It is necessary to send raw materials and materials to the production site. Transporting the manufactured weapons to the front requires transportation. Chongqing, on the other hand, is relatively weak in these aspects. ”

Of course, Philip knows that Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. may face some difficulties if it settles in Chongqing. However, that was only temporary, because he knew that in the near future, China's arsenals, ordnance scientific research institutions, ordnance specialized academics, and factories producing steel for ordnance industry would be successively relocated to the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and the main ordnance units would be concentrated in Chongqing, the capital of Chongqing, and the counties around Chongqing would be built to build a Chongqing ordnance base integrating weapons production, scientific research, professional personnel training, and raw material production. The weapons produced by this base will strongly support the frontal battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japan; The development of weapons production will also give birth to Chongqing, an industrial city.

Philip nodded and said, "What Director Yu said is reasonable. However, I know that there are now more than 300 such factories in Chongqing, such as electric power, steel, cement, chemical, and machine manufacturing, and that the shipping industry on the Sichuan River with Chongqing as the center has developed greatly, and a highway network connecting the southwest and northwest with Chongqing as the center has been initially formed, and the cable telegraph has been centered on Chongqing, connecting Chengdu, Luzhou, Guiyang, Hechuan, Yichang, Fengjie, Wanxian, Sichuandong, Yunnan, and other lines, and has become a first-class telegraph bureau in the country. From these aspects, Chongqing is fully equipped with the conditions for the construction of a new aircraft manufacturing plant, and more importantly, with Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. taking root in Chongqing, it can drive the industrial and economic development of the southwest region, which is a good thing for China, right? ”

David Yu smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect Mr. Philip to know us so deeply about China, and even know Chongqing better than I am the director of the Ordnance Industry Administration, it seems that I, the Director of the Ordnance Industry Department, are not competent!" However, I have reservations, but I still respect your choice. Of course, a few of us here can't make this decision, if you insist on choosing Chongqing to build a factory, we also have to report this problem, and wait for the above to decide on this matter, what do you think? ”

Philip nodded again and again: "I understand Director Yu's difficulty!" I'll leave this question to your top level of government, and we'll move on to the other issues, what do you think? ”

Yu Dawei looked at Dai Yulong and the others next to him, and saw that they all nodded in agreement, so the two sides continued to discuss other details.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, and except for the selection of the site, which was left to the Nanjing government to decide, the rest of the details were very easy to finalize. Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing China Co., Ltd. is a joint venture established by the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium and the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nanjing Government, with a total capital of 10 million US dollars, of which the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium will invest 5.1 million US dollars in cash, accounting for 51% of the shares, so the chairman of the company will also be served by Anna, the representative of the Dragon Soul Ordnance, and she also serves as the general manager. The Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nanjing government will invest $1 million, and the remaining $3.9 million will be invested in land and other facilities. The two vice presidents of the company are both sent by the Chinese side. There are two deputy general managers, and one person from each side is appointed. The new company plans to be completed and put into production within a year, and the first model to be put into production is the M30 business transport aircraft, and all key materials and components that cannot be produced in China will be transported to China by the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium from Germany and Sweden......
