Chapter 82: The Prologue to a New Era

What can I learn from the one-year Senior Officer Training Course?

There is no point in strategy and tactics or anything. Modern warfare is a war of strength, and there are very few times when stratagem can be used.

Zhang Cheng and the others actually studied here for a year to learn how to handle various military affairs, straighten out various matters in the huge Ming army, and some secrets that could already be accessed by these selected elites in the army.

To put it bluntly, this year is to pave the way for them to become generals in the future, and to teach them how to become a senior officer in the future.

Zhang Cheng's life has been a little leisurely.

Zhang Cheng does not live in school, he lives in a luxurious mansion not far from Lu University. Every day, he held classes at Lu University, and at night, he used a telegraph and Xu Mu in Songjiang Province to study the stock market. On his days off, he either went to the aircraft factory in the southern suburbs to check the progress of the new aircraft, or went to dinner and watch a movie with Xu Xuanlin Run'e, or went to watch a play.

And Major Lu Zhiyuan, who regarded him as his biggest competitor, was buried in the library and classroom day and night, and his hard-working attitude and strong belief made Zhang Cheng look at it slightly. Once a person gets serious, the energy that bursts out is really very powerful.

Time flies, when the autumn days of the imperial capital fade to the last afterglow, the footsteps of General Winter bring the snow-covered winter beauty to the northern land, and the heavy snow makes pedestrians change into thick winter clothes, three months pass quietly. Before you know it, it's time for the Navy's new aircraft to show off its performance.

At the beginning of December, Qinhuang Island was already a land of ice and snow. The industrial activities of this era are far less terrifying than those of modern time and space. Global warming has not yet reached a level where the change is noticeably felt.

The winter in the north of the Ming Dynasty came very early, and a thin sea ice had formed on the seashore of Qinhuang Island, and the whole land was covered in silver. Next to a snow-covered bare col is an airfield belonging to the Navy, where today's presentation of the new aircraft will be held.

At this moment, a large number of various types of aircraft covered in canvas are parked on the runway. Although on the surface it is just a mosquito leg-like order. But this is a lot of income after all, and no arms company will easily give up an order from the military. As many as 15 companies signed up to participate in the actual performance demonstration this time, and they brought nearly 100 aircraft of various types!

Lieutenant General Liu Bin's small actions actually can't hide the eyes of so many forces at all. Each arms company has its own spokesperson in the army, and it is not very difficult to know what is actually happening. What even Wang Yan could know, how could these arms dealers not know?

In the face of possible large-scale naval orders in the future, no one will let go easily. However, Lieutenant General Liu Bin, who was calm and light-hearted, didn't seem to care about this, at least Zhang Cheng thought so.

"What confidence does he have?" Zhang Cheng glanced at Lieutenant General Liu Bin with some curiosity. He didn't know what Hans's products and capabilities were. Now all the planes are tightly wrapped in canvas. But Zhang Cheng has an intuition that Lieutenant Liu Bin is so confident that he will not take so many competitors in his eyes, and he must have a great technological lead.

"Interesting." Zhang Cheng looked sideways at the plane parked by Hans not far away. Squinting his eyes, he whispered to himself, "Just look at the appearance, if there is no accident, it's a monoplane!" "This is Lieutenant General Liu Bin's confidence!

"When will your plane arrive?" Lieutenant General Yunmo, who was wearing a heavy military coat, came behind Zhang Cheng, opened his mouth and let out a white breath, stomped his foot and asked.

Vice Admiral Yunmo was refrigerated for more than a month after returning to the Navy Command, and was soon activated again after the limelight passed. And his new position is the commander of the Ming Naval Air Fleet!

"It's almost there." Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes at the cloudy sky and replied softly. He wanted to make a huge advertisement for his plane.

At this moment, there are many high-ranking naval officials who have come to this military airfield. The arrival of high-level officials, including the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Chief of Staff, Director of Training, Chief of Armament, Commander of the Pacific Fleet, Commander of the Air Fleet, etc., also means that the Navy attaches great importance to this matter. This has also intensified the atmosphere of competition among many arms companies.

As for Zhang Cheng, for this newcomer in the arms market, few people take him seriously.

After all, Zhang Cheng has just entered the industry. He has no connections, no technology, no top designers. There is nothing more than a large aircraft factory. Arms dealers naturally regarded Zhang Cheng's General Dynamics as a role to accompany the prince to study. Their main focus was on Hans. There are already many designers who have turned pale, because they can also see what kind of shape the canvas-covered airplane is!

As the temperature gradually rises, the clouds in the sky gradually dissipate, and the sunlight shines golden through the cracks in the clouds, bringing a warm taste to the cold earth.

When many naval bigwigs got out of the car. I don't know who started it, but the staff of various arms companies started to tear off the canvas covering their planes.

"Hiss~~~~~" When hundreds of planes showed their true colors, everyone was dumbfounded.

"This bastard!" Lieutenant General Yunmo gritted his teeth and looked at the planes of Hans Company not far away, and shouted angrily, "No wonder he doesn't care, it turns out that he has this confidence!" ”

As Zhang Cheng guessed, the new planes launched by Hans are all monoplanes!

In fact, the technological level of this era made it very easy to create this kind of monoplane, and the main obstacle was the design concept!

The main reason why Hans was able to launch the monoplane was that Lieutenant General Liu Bin told their designers the classified information that the Americans already possessed the new monoplane.

All the arms companies were dumbfounded. All companies except Hans are biplanes. They are all insiders, and once this thin layer of thinking barrier is punctured, anyone can see the huge difference between the two sides! Already, several designers of other arms companies have fallen to the ground on the spot.

Hans Company, which took the lead, was in an invincible position all of a sudden, and it attracted the attention of all the bigwigs like a crowd.

Looking at the naval bigwigs who were pointing around the monoplane, at Vice Admiral Liu Bin with his head held high and his eyes smiling, and at Vice Admiral Yunmo, who was panting heavily, next to Zhang Cheng, he grabbed Zhang Cheng's tie and asked in a deep voice with red eyes, "Where is your plane?" Don't come if you haven't come yet! It's just a shame. ”

The reason why Lieutenant General Yunmo is so angry is very simple, he and Lieutenant General Liu Bin are opposed. Seeing the opponent in the limelight, he can only watch from the sidelines. Whoever else is full of anger will be full of anger.

"Mine is also a monoplane." Zhang Cheng pushed away Lieutenant General Yunmo's hand and straightened his tie. He came here today as a businessman who is the owner of General Dynamics, and he is not wearing a military uniform.

"What?!" Lieutenant General Yunmo's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted loudly with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Yours is also a monoplane?!" ”

Lieutenant General Yunmo's roar was so loud that the nearby military bosses, representatives of various companies, and even test pilots and guards in the distance heard it. Suddenly, in an instant, countless eyes were all cast on the two of them.

Lieutenant General Liu Bin, who was originally triumphant and was provoking the major arms companies, immediately turned cold, and looked at Zhang Cheng with an indifferent face. After thinking about it, he took a few steps forward and shouted at Zhang Cheng, "The performance demonstration is about to begin, and the General Dynamics plane has not yet arrived." I'm disqualifying you! ”

"Hey~~~" A mocking laugh suddenly rang out. The various arms companies that were ruthlessly scolded by Lieutenant General Liu Bin could be regarded as seizing the opportunity, and they all sneered at Lieutenant General Liu Bin without leaving a face.

"yes, yes. Hurry up and cancel, or how will you get the money? ”

"It's like Hans will win."

"Who are you? You say cancel if you cancel? The Commander-in-Chief is still standing on the sidelines. ”

"It's just an equipment minister, what kind of big-tailed wolf?"

"The unique stunt was broken, of course I didn't dare to let the master play. Does this need to be asked? ”

"A despicable villain who can only play tricks!"

“”

As a matter of fact, companies engaged in the arms business generally do not offend such a big man as Lieutenant General Liu Bin, who holds real power. However, these large companies were slammed by him today, and they were all angry at Lieutenant General Liu Bin in their hearts. Now that there is an outlet to vent, naturally no one will let go of this opportunity. Lieutenant General Liu Bin's approach is really annoying!

Lieutenant General Liu Bin, who was pale, trembled with this sneering iron. He is a high-powered vice admiral, how can he be ridiculed by others like this, how can he live in face!

Lieutenant General Liu Bin opened his mouth, just as he was about to scold Zhang Cheng and disqualify him. Zhang Cheng took a step forward with a chuckle, but his eyes were as cold as a knife staring at Lieutenant General Liu Bin's eyes, "I received a notice to bring the aircraft participating in the performance demonstration to this airport before ten o'clock this morning." There is still more than half an hour left, where did I violate the rules and be disqualified? Well?! ”

Zhang Cheng's words immediately blocked Lieutenant General Liu Bin was speechless. The army is a place where rules are spoken!

"Humph!" felt the unkind gaze cast by the surrounding crowd, especially Lieutenant General Yunmo who seemed to be smiling on the side. In the end, Lieutenant General Liu Bin could only snort coldly, glared at Zhang Cheng and said viciously, "There is still half an hour, this is so remote or a military area, I see how your plane comes!" Unless you can fly! ”

"Huh." Zhang Cheng squinted his eyes, a strange smile flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Your Excellency is right, just fly over!" ”

Before Zhang Cheng's words fell, a huge roar was already heard in mid-air!
