"Set up an aircraft manufacturing company in the United States and use the talents from the United States to import technology into the aircraft manufacturing of the Republic of China?" Wang Xiaofeng, Wang Zhu and Zhu Jiaren looked at Zeng Yijing in front of them at the same time, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

Zeng Yijing nodded, as one of the first people to learn aircraft design, his ability is a little worse than Wang Zhu, Ba Yuzao and others, and his status in Nanjing is not as good as Wang Xiaofeng and others, and he was also the first to be moved by the people sent by Jiang Li, and now he acts as Jiang Li's lobbyist to persuade Zhu Jiaren and others.

"Yes, now we do hold the concept of aviation to save the country, but aviation to save the country does not mean that you have to stay in the country to do it, in fact, we have returned to China for so many years, what we have done is very limited, the gap between the Republic of China and the great powers in aircraft manufacturing is getting bigger and bigger, it is not that we are unwilling to work hard, nor is our ability worse than those foreign designers. It's that the domestic environment doesn't allow us to design more advanced aircraft. Even if we have a good design idea, we are still worried about the qualified parts, engines, and sometimes even the lack of the most basic material conditions such as aviation gasoline. Although we have designed several kinds of aircraft now, those military planes for combat are all bought from the great powers, and the products we build with domestic materials are outdated compared to the great powers. If we set up a company abroad, the advanced models designed can directly purchase parts from abroad, and then the domestic aircraft will be purchased, wouldn't it be possible to buy them at a lower price? The foreigners have a tight blockade on aviation technology. As long as we lay the groundwork on the American side. At the same time, we will increase the training of Chinese students. It can also maintain the input of aviation technical personnel in the Republic of China to a greater extent, and even help the country to establish a relatively advanced aircraft factory in China in a few years, instead of trying to replace the original design with some inferior parts as it is now, which reduces the performance of the aircraft by several grades. ”

Hearing Zeng Yijing's words, several people fell into contemplation at the same time, Zeng Yijing said well, they are no worse than foreign designers. Now the well-known Boeing company in the United States is the model designed by Wang Zhu when he was in Boeing before, which earned Boeing the first pot of gold. The late Ba Yuzao, the current Wang Xiaofeng, and Wang Zhu all held the title of senior engineer in the United States, where yellow people were discriminated against at that time. MIT's aeronautical master's degree is not so good, this era of extremely strict control of degrees, even Americans, it is not easy to get, not to mention that Chinese who are discriminated against have to work harder than Americans.

"Brother Zhenguo is right, the two of us have been in China for so many years. The domestic aviation industry is stagnant and has not yet produced a model. One or two of this, one or two of that one or two are guerrillas. Originally, some good designs were also greatly discounted because of the parts, and the unqualified performance of the engine. Aircraft manufacturing needs an industrial chain, which is not available in China for the time being. Besides, now that the Japanese army is pressing the border, how much time do we have to waste, and we must design our own fighters as soon as possible, so that we can support the domestic battlefield to the greatest extent in the future. Wang Xiaofeng looked at Wang Zhu and said, "I think it's time for us to go out and see how far the foreigners' aviation industry has developed." ”

"If we leave, the development of the domestic aviation industry will really come to a standstill." Wang Zhu said with a frown.

"This time the Northeast sent a large number of international students overseas, some of them engaged in aviation design, if we can build the airline, we can also provide them with a platform in the future, so that they can be sent back to China after a few years of internship in the factory, it is better than a few of us fighting alone in China, we were subjected to difficulties abroad, you will not forget, right?" Zeng Yijing reminded.

Hearing this, Wang Zhu, Wang Xiaofeng and others nodded silently, when they were still studying as fitters, they worked hard from the lowest level, they suffered a lot of hardships, if there is a company founded by their own people, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time.

"It's not easy to set up an airline in the United States, first of all, you have to have a lot of start-up capital, and then someone has to buy the designed aircraft, we didn't have much fame in the early days, and when we went to the United States, Nanjing would not pay us any more." Zhu Jiaren shook his head and said, "I can't get around the most critical financial problem."

"I have solved this point, there is a big benefactor responsible for funding our operation, the initial start-up capital is two million US dollars, has been paid to the account, the designed aircraft, as long as the performance is acceptable, training aircraft, transport aircraft, bombers, destroyers are required by the other party." Zeng Yijing smiled mysteriously.

"What? Initial start-up capital of $2 million? You're not going to lie to us, are you? Wang Zhu was the first to open his mouth, and now he is in Nanjing, and he can only get hundreds of thousands of yuan of research funds a year, and Nanjing's investment in aviation is mainly used to buy from outside, rather than for independent research and development in the distant future.

"You think I'm going to make a joke about it?" Zeng Yijing said unhappily.

"It's not that I doubt Brother Zhenguo's character, but there are not many people who are willing to be the head of this wrong, and if we don't know anything, where can we rest assured that we will go directly to the United States, you have to tell us who is willing to contribute, right?" When Zhu Jiaren heard that there was such a large sum of money, he immediately said urgently.

"This person is a bit taboo for Nanjing for the time being, out of my mouth, into your ears, you don't have to mention it when you go out of this door." Zeng Yijing said with a serious face.

"You can rest assured, those who are willing to work in aviation are worthy of the respect of our entire aviation industry, and will never reveal it to outsiders." Wang Zhu and the others assured at the same time.

"The commander of the 45th Army, Jiang Li, this time Fengtian sent students abroad on a large scale, and Jiang Jun also supported him behind the scenes." Zeng Yijing lowered his voice and said, "These money were originally robbed by the Japanese, and later they were snatched back from the Japanese by Commander Jiang. ”

"Commander Jiang!" Wang Zhu and others were in awe, and Zhang Xueliang was completely stinky because of the loss of his reputation in the Northeast. On the other hand, Jiang Li led the defenders to fight alone in Fengtian City for several months, killing and wounding nearly 100,000 Japanese soldiers, and he was willing to take out this money from the tight military budget, which undoubtedly made these people who held the theory of aviation salvation respect from the bottom of their hearts.
