On August 8, 1937, the founding of the Baath Party was announced.

In the vast sky over the vast land of Guangxi, a huge four-engine plane was flying smoothly, and in the blue sky and white clouds, this guy with ordinary paint and seemingly ordinary appearance of an enlarged version of the Air Force's C-31 mountain-moving transport plane appeared and disappeared from time to time in the sea of clouds. Outsiders could never guess that this was the special plane of Zhang Shusheng, chairman of the Supreme Council of China, leader of the Baath Party, and head of China.

In this special party building, Zhang Shusheng did not attend the fourth anniversary of the founding of the party held in Hanjing, but asked his wife Lu Yunyan to attend on his behalf as a purely private representative. Accompanied by Defense Minister Cai Yi, Navy Minister Deng Haoqian, and Supreme Operations Minister Su Yuren, he boarded the special plane of the head of state and went to Fangchenggang in Guangxi.

Because the Führer's plane was a specially enlarged version made by the C-31 model aircraft, it was divided into several cabins, with Zhang Shusheng personally owning an office and a lounge, a secretary's small office outside, and an attaché room outside.

Zhang Shusheng was sitting at his desk reading a progress report on the helicopter development project, while He Ning took the ten-year-old Luoyu to sit by the window, looking at the 300 Tang poems in his hand. The two discussed in a whisper from time to time, He Ning, the godmother, still looks very young, at the age of more than 30 years, she still looks mature and dignified, but the whole person is like a woman in her twenties, whether it is skin color or figure. Because he hasn't given birth to a child yet, his body is not out of shape at all. And Zhang Shusheng is even more fierce, about 30 years old, and has been in a high position for a long time, so that he still remains easy-going, but he also has a momentum that is not angry but mighty.

Shantai Luoyu, this 10-year-old girl, was adopted by her and Zhang Shusheng in Kunming in 1932, but He Ning and Zhang Shusheng did not blindly leave her by their side, and like other school-age children, they were densely sent to the first primary school in Kunming City. However, every weekend, the staff of the Central Security Department who protected her would send her back to Zhang Shusheng's official residence, and the family would have a happy weekend.

Because Zhang Shusheng usually strictly forbade He Ning to see her, and Shantai is very well-behaved and sensible, she is usually a good girl at school, she studies very hard, and never regards herself as the adopted daughter of the supreme leader of the southwest, which led to her finally having to transfer because of the founding of New China, when the head teacher saw He Ning's autograph in the column of the reason for the transfer, she did not think that He Ning would be the mother of the new China that was about to be established.

Because of the memories of her youth, which was full of hardships, Shantai Luoyu has been very sensible since she was a child, and after she went to elementary school, she was even more filial to He Ning, her adoptive mother, and Zhang Shusheng's adoptive father, and even her aunt Lu Yunyan was treated as a real relative, and she was very liked by Zhang Shusheng.

"The White Emperor ...... among the clouds"

Zhang Shusheng smiled slightly, raised his head and looked at He Ning, who was explaining poetry to Tangtai there, the two of them were so happy, and then put their eyes back on the report in their hands.

The idea of developing helicopters in the southwest began in 1930, and after seven years of development, this key military project has made significant progress after the founding of New China due to the rapid development of materials and airborne equipment. Last month, the project entered the general research period, and the first batch of the two test machines required began. The helicopter project, like other major projects, is very difficult to start from scratch, but it is better to set up the project early, and with the significant progress made in other related scientific and technological fields, the whole project will naturally break through.

After all, these major projects cannot be completed in a day, let alone one or two research institutes, one or two research institutes and factories. At present, the helicopter is more difficult to produce than the ordinary J-2 fighter, and the expected cost is much higher. For example, the production line of the Jian-2 fighter is manufactured on a highly standardized and standardized assembly line starting with each part, and the new materials used in some key parts are taken into account, and the engine is also relatively expensive, and the cost is only 14,000 yuan per aircraft, which is converted into 21,000 US dollars per aircraft. Compared to the BF109 fighter produced in Germany during the same period and flown in the air at the 1936 Olympic Games, it is not much higher. At this time, the production efficiency that the workers of China's military-industrial enterprises were able to achieve was already surpassing that of Germany. But the estimated cost of a helicopter is as high as 40,000 yuan, although the surname of this model can be very primitive, in Zhang Shusheng's eyes, this initial model is at most similar to the helicopter made by Soviet Russia and Americans in the 40s, but the expected cost is still very high.

But he is not discouraged, after all, helicopters will usher in a period of rapid development after the end of World War II, mature models will soon appear, and China will promote the development of helicopters and send it to the world war stage in advance.

"Daddy, I'll make you tea."

Seeing Zhang Shusheng reading the documents, Luoyu picked up the empty teacup and was about to drink, so she put down the book and came over to help Zhang Shusheng pour tea, she usually likes to make tea for her godfather.

"Well, go ahead, read it well, Daddy listens. You two don't have to keep your voice down, it won't affect your father's ability to read the documents. Zhang Shusheng smiled and rubbed her little head, with his intelligence, it was indeed easy to use two minds, and he was indeed distracted just now listening to the whispered conversation between Tantai and her godmother.

Over the years, Zhang Shusheng has also seriously asked the administrator of the dream machine, the Dreamer, why he has no heirs, whether it is the results of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, his body is exceptionally good.

"Because you have taken a variety of physical and mental modification drugs, you need a long-term buffer, and the main functions of the body will serve this transformation.

Even in the Great Interstellar Era, the level of comprehensive transformation you receive must be at the level of nobility of a mid-to-high-level cosmic civilization to have the opportunity to enjoy it, and the price is very expensive. Ordinary people can receive at most one national quality transformation program that is very popular in the universe: injection of gene induction solution.

Well, so I'm sorry I had to wait years to see the owner's cute little baby. But, my lord, with your lifespan, you won't be able to give birth a few hundred years later......"

As a result of the inquiry, Zhang Shusheng felt helpless except for wanting to slap the naughty face of the Dreamer, wait, anyway, he is not in a hurry, it is the same for early and late life.

But on the other hand, he, Lu Yunyan and He Ning poured more love into Shantai that belonged to parents and children.

"Well, Daddy, I know." Yutai Luoyu nodded, just wanted to turn around but remembered something, but after a slight hesitation, she turned around and walked away.

"Luo Yu!" Zhang Shusheng stopped her, pulled her to his side, grabbed her little shoulder, tapped her forehead again, and told her with a smile, "If you have something, just say it, you little ghost, you can't hide things in your heart." ”

Tantai bit his little lip and said with some caution, "Before the holiday, Mr. Wen called me to the office again. ”

"Huh? Is it telling you about the parent-teacher conference for the new semester? Could it be that Uncle Xu didn't do well? Zhang Shusheng was puzzled, she didn't want to let Shantai be different from other children since she was a child, not that she didn't want her to grow up under privilege, but she just wanted to retain her innocence, so after transferring to Hanjing, she still let the team member of the Special Intelligence Department, an officer named Xu Wenqing, take care of her as a relative.

"Teacher Wen said that Uncle Xu attended every parent-teacher meeting, and she had never met my parents, and she thought that my parents were irresponsible, and said that she must meet my parents in the new semester and communicate." Yutai Luoyu said with some embarrassment that she is usually one of the best performing students in the class, and her grades are also among the best, so the teacher cares about her a little more.

In fact, the reason why she told Zhang Shusheng was because Zhang Shusheng had always taught her that she should not lie in everything and be honest with others. Deep down, she didn't think about letting her godfather or godmother go to the parent-teacher conference, she already understood at a young age that once the godfather and godmother went to the parent-teacher conference, other children would stay away from her for various reasons.

In the first semester of the third grade, a classmate in the class, usually very low-key, is also very honest and responsible, his father is a major general political commissar of the Northwest Garrison District, and he came to the parent-teacher meeting for the first time during the semester, which made the classmates in the class very excited, but afterwards, everyone was unusually humble to that classmate. This made the classmate feel very distressed, and the relationship between Yutai and him was not bad, and he understood that feeling.

All she hopes is to let her grandmother or grandfather, and if it doesn't work, let her uncle He An go. The little uncle is just a small squad leader in the Hanjing garrison area, and he will not let the classmates stay away from her.

Zhang Shusheng sighed secretly, no matter what, the growth of Shantai was still affected by himself, seeing her nervous appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, maybe he did something wrong in order to let her 'grow up naturally'.

"Be cautious, don't blame Shantai, or I'll let He An go." He Ning saw that Zhang Shusheng had some self-reproach in his expression, and walked over to his side and said.

"Nope." Zhang Shusheng shook his head, then raised his head to Luoyu, who had lowered his head, looked at himself, and said to her seriously, "Tangtai, tell Daddy, do you want Daddy to attend your parent-teacher meeting in the new semester?" ”

"Yes." Tantai Luoyu nodded, and then shook her head again.

"Why? Shantai, say it well, tell your father. He Ning happily pulled Tantai to her side, since her own man became more and more powerful and more and more in a high position, she always had a more and more serious sense of insignificance, only when Zhang Shusheng was at home, or when Tantai went home on the weekend, she would feel the warmth of home more happily.

Shantai Luoyu: "Uncle Xu goes to every parent-teacher meeting, and some classmates secretly say that I am an orphan raised by relatives. But I didn't want my father to go, for fear that they would stay away from me. ”

Power, yes, is the consequence of power. Zhang Shusheng shook his head, in fact, although he is in a high position, in his opinion, the high position of the Chinese head of state is more of a responsibility and a kind of dedication, rather than a kind of power, let alone a right that comes with it. Because of the dual identity of the successor of the dream machine and the future generations, his vision is higher.

Therefore, he never thought about faking any identity for Shantai Luoyu to enroll in school, let alone let Xu Wenqing pretend to be her relative, but just asked him to attend some school activities that must be attended by parents. After all, education in New China places great emphasis on the dual role of school and family, and Xu Wenqing often goes to school and regularly reports to Zhang Shusheng about the situation of Luoyu in school. As for the identity of the school, the superintendent of Hanjing No. 1 Elementary School knew the origin of this student, and there was also a copy of the secret student files kept in the superintendent's office, but at that time, He Ning clearly conveyed Zhang Shusheng's opinion, and he could not have any privileges, otherwise he would be dealt with as dereliction of duty.

In fact, there are many such situations in the whole of China, because there are no organ schools and military and political schools in New China, and the children of military and political officials are all enrolled in local schools in accordance with the spirit of the central government, just like ordinary people, and only one inspector in the school manages their student files and knows their origins, but they are subject to the regulations on secrecy, but they cannot be disclosed to anyone, not even the principal. The children of these military and political officials also received a very strict education, and they had a clean and honest style from top to bottom. This also caused that although the identities of some students were exposed, they were not greatly troubled, but were only alienated by their classmates because of blind worship or subconscious fear, and these problems will not become the focus of society in New China, which advocates the great cause of rejuvenation.

"Little ghost. Daddy has decided to attend your parent-teacher conference for the new semester. As for whether you will keep your classmates away from you, it depends on your performance. Remember, the relationship between you and your classmates is never determined by who you are, but by yourself. Zhang Shusheng said with a smile.

"Really? Daddy. Since being adopted at the age of five, after the dazed abandoned son has a real home, Shantai Luoyu has longed for that feeling of real home.

"Well, Daddy assures you that when you start the new semester, I'll be going to attend. It's a promise to your little ghost. Zhang Shusheng nodded, privilege is not determined by other people's eyes, but how to choose the path by yourself, whether you are bullying and oppressing people with power, being a talent reader or even a tyrant, or dealing with it indifferently, being an indifferent national leader, it is all your own choice.

The family joked happily, Zhang Shusheng even picked up the textbook and tested several Tang poems for the little girl, two of which he couldn't even memorize, but the little girl memorized them.

From time to time, Defense Minister Cai Yi knocked on the door, walked in, and reported, "Chairman, we still have 15 minutes to arrive at the Horseshoe Bay Naval Base, and the naval air defense forces stationed in the port have already taken to the air to escort the enemy. ”

"Okay, I got it."

According to the security regulations, Zhang Shusheng's special plane will be cleared when it flies in China, and when it arrives in the border provinces, it will be escorted by fighter planes taken off by the local air force. Although at this time New China had already established a relatively complete large-scale radar warning network, especially in the coastal areas, China, the Soviet Union, and the southwest, and had established an early warning radar network that could fully meet the needs of actual combat, the necessary security measures were still needed.

In fact, in fact, there is no need for fighter escort, this special plane, which is the world's first in terms of speed and defense, in addition to a specially made advanced long-range radar, which can detect enemy planes 100 kilometers away in advance, even has air-to-air missiles in the belly of the bomb compartment that are enough to destroy an air force squadron. And the entire special plane can be automatically controlled by the Dreamer.

From time to time, after radio communication with the headquarters of the Second Division of the Naval Air Defense Force stationed in Chenggang, five of the latest Jian-3 all-metal twin-engine fighters flew next to the special plane in the wet morning light, and after saluting in formation, escorted it to the Horseshoe Bay Naval Base.

"Salute!!"

Zhang Shusheng's arrival was warmly welcomed by the officers and men of the Horseshoe Bay Naval Base and their families, and a welcoming procession of several thousand people lined up on the large grassland next to the airport.

Now, after four years of comprehensive economic construction in New China, Zhang Shusheng's prestige is even higher, soaring straight into the sky, much higher than Hitler's prestige among the people in Germany, it can be said that the Baath Party did not implement the fascist set, but Zhang Shusheng's personal prestige and control over the country surpassed Hitler and Mussolini, the two great scholars.

Stepping off the plane, on the podium that was simply arranged, Zhang Shusheng only said one sentence, "Comrades, everyone has worked hard all these years, this time I came to see you, see the results of your hard work for many years, and look at our new aircraft carrier!" ”

In the bay, less than 3 kilometers away from the Horseshoe Bay airport, a huge new warship weighing 40,000 tons is parked at this time, all outfitting has been completed, all the equipment for boarding the ship has been adjusted after eight months of sea trials, and the sailors and additional radar technicians drawn from the original three aircraft carriers are also in place.

When this huge aircraft carrier was launched in January 1937, Jiang Baili, chief of the general staff of the Republic, and Cai Yi, minister of defense of the Republic, jointly went to the Horseshoe Bay Naval Base to cut the ribbon for its launch.

And today, it is about to officially become an army, ushering in the supreme leader of the republic, Zhang Shusheng, chairman of the Supreme Power Committee of the republic, Zhang Shusheng will officially announce that it has entered active service and named it! ――
