As the crisis in West Borneo continued and European newspapers hyped up the East Indies War, Japan and the United States also sent special envoys to Nanjing to inquire about the cause.

At the same time, the Far East Fleet of the British Empire, composed of three powerful battleships and battle cruisers, arrived off the coast of West Borneo, and in the face of the extremely high probability of a naval conflict, Cheng Biguang, who had already boarded the thief ship, had to order a demonstration in front of the Dutch Consulate in Shanghai Chapter 613, followed by a large march by students in Beijing, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Wuhan and other places to support the navy to condemn the Dutch atrocities and demand the arrest of the murderer, and the situation in West Borneo deteriorated again!

The truth of the Lanfang tragedy was quickly reprinted by Europe. Many people only then realized how cruel the bloody methods of the Dutch in West Borneo were back then. Of course, they only superficially condemned it. After all, everyone needed rubber, spices, and cheap resources from the East Indies. But the Netherlands and the United Kingdom never expected that GC International in Moscow would also intervene. Pravda, the most famous Soviet mouthpiece, published a series of commentaries. From the Lanfang tragedy to the colonizers' instigation of ethnic hatred in Nanyang, to the final crisis in West Borneo, etc., there are countless capital close-ups exposed, strongly criticizing the plundering face of capitalism, and expressing their desire to help all ethnic groups in the Nanyang region achieve independence.

At this critical juncture, countless pairs of eyes began to look for the key person to solve the crisis, but His Excellency Vice President Yang seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. Aviation elites from all over the country gathered at Yunhua Aircraft Factory for several days to discuss technology and talk about the future of aviation.

This can make Lu Zhengxiang, who came from Nanjing, stomp his feet anxiously, and he didn't dare to disturb the small on-site meeting inside, so he had to pull Song Ziqing and Jiang Fangzhen: "Both." How long will this take? If the vice president doesn't come out again, I won't dare to go back to Nanjing. ”

He, the foreign minister, was under a lot of pressure, and this time Britain was resolute and unexpected, so he was very anxious. Song Ziqing looked at Yang Qiu, who was talking and laughing with hundreds of Chinese aviation experts, so he had to pat him comfortingly, push the door and walk into the well-guarded engine test workshop. Yang Qiu was inquiring about the new engine, and when he saw him come in, he knew what he wanted to say, and after making a stop gesture, he asked, "Are the patents and names registered?" ”

"Four years ago, we preemptively registered all the patents."

Zhou Houkun was very excited, because they not only realized the dream of an all-metal monoplane in the sky, but also realized Yang Qiu's vision back then, completed the development of the overlapping star engine and increased the engine to 750 horsepower in one fell swoop! It has become the world's largest air-cooled aero engine. So you can imagine it. When the star engines in various countries face barriers, the design patent that overlaps the two engines can bring a huge return to the company.

Like most Mongolian men, Ba Yuzao is straightforward and hearty, and he feels that he can break through so quickly thanks to Yang Qiu's suggestion five years ago, and because Yang Qiu brought back tens of thousands of foreign technicians after his visit to Europe to help break through the barriers of precision machining difficulties, so Han smiled and pushed the credit outward: "In the past, the single-layer star engine was called Mustang, and now we call it Double Mustang." Hehe, in fact, Vice President, you have the greatest credit, if it weren't for the tips and blueprints of the year, we wouldn't have thought of being able to overlap the two machines. ”

"Twin mustangs. Not bad. ”

Yang Qiu is very happy, with this, it is equivalent to seeing the shadow of C47, and if there is an emergency in the future, there is no need to take the dangerous double-wing wooden shelf, but it is a pity that the name Mustang fighter cannot be preemptively registered because it cannot be overlapped. But compared with a pity, he is more curious about whether the American Pratt & Whitney Company will go down to engage in "three wasps" and "four wasps" in a fit of anger after losing its overlapping patents? It is important to know that the double Mustang patent is very important, after all, this is not a time of war to trample on various international conventions, and the United States has to make a show even if it does not want to comply with it. The reason is very simple: If the United States counterfeits the patents of the two mustangs, China will naturally be able to pirate the patent rights of large companies such as General Motors and Merlin.

It may not be long before the representatives of Pratt & Whitney, who have encountered power barriers, will come to negotiate. So now he's more concerned about whether the engine has the ability to be manufactured on a large scale, asking, "How's the engineering preparation going?" If new technologies can't be transformed into products as soon as possible, sooner or later people will surpass you. ”

Zhou Houkun and everyone were really glad to meet a national leader who understands technology and cares so much about aviation and other high-tech, and interjected: "Vice President, please rest assured, all the manufacturing processes have been perfected, and we are also working with the automation laboratory to develop special assembly line equipment." Only precision casting and materials are not enough, the former has been taught by foreign masters, our own technicians improve quickly, and at most another 2 years can completely rely on themselves. The latter is more difficult, and the research of basic material technology is not very difficult, but it requires a lot of money and the participation of many school laboratories, which takes time to accumulate. But don't worry, we're tackling it little by little! ”

Since he said it, Ba Yuzao was also bold, and took a deep breath in the face of Wang Zhu and other national aviation elites: "Vice President, I and Pengxi are still discussing, we, we want to buy Xinyang Aircraft Factory!" ”

"Acquisition of the Xinyang plant?"

Not to mention Yang Qiu, Wang Zhu and the others were also confused by the bold ideas of the two. But it came to me after a while. The Xinyang Aircraft Factory is a state-owned enterprise, and there are not only two 6,000-ton molding machines in it. There is also a large amount of equipment and thousands of junior and intermediate technicians trained by the government for ten years! If the merger is successful, add double Mustang engine technology. It can immediately become an aviation manufacturing enterprise comparable to or even surpassing Chongqing.

Have the guts! Merge state-owned with private enterprises! Whether it is successful or not, it will be recorded in the history of China's joint development!

"This is the engine development and manufacturing center, and Xinyang is the aviation manufacturing center, is it not the case to combine the resources of the two companies?" Without waiting for an answer, Yang Qiu encouraged in an aggravated tone: "Xinyang is a centrally invested enterprise, you can use technology and this factory to finance the acquisition, and you can find your own way with bank credit." I'll help you with the rest of the tongue-chewing things! But there is a saying that in the front, the government wants 2% of the shares, after all, this involves military secrecy, and we also have to ensure the interests of workers. ”

Ba Yuzao and Zhou Houkun originally just wanted to try. After all, Xinyang is one of the few central state-owned enterprises in the country, and selling it to private individuals is suspected of reselling national assets, but I didn't expect Yang Qiu to agree! is also ready to help them block the outside world's doubts! What a lot of courage it takes! The two of them were so happy that they forgot to thank them. Yang Qiu didn't think it was great, so he laughed on a whim: "By the way, how about I give you a new name?" Airbus, how? ”

Don't say it's called Airbus, even if it's called the Underworld Express!

The two of them were busy nodding their heads, but Wang Zhu, the technical experts of other factories and laboratories, had a bad face. "Are you scared? I'm afraid it's a good thing, only competition can be motivated! Seeing this, Yang Qiu smiled, and suddenly beckoned to the back: "Xingwen." ”

Calling. An army major in his mid-thirties walked briskly with a black briefcase. If you are careful, you will find that the briefcase and his wrist are connected by a thin wire. Over the years, everyone knows that Yang Qiu has a mysterious officer who will never leave Yang Qiu like a shadow, but the outside world thinks that he is a personal bodyguard, so he doesn't pay much attention to this tall but rigid major.

The Major opened his bag and took out two thick pieces of information inside, then retreated out of the crowd with a vigilant expression.

Yang Qiu gave one of them to Wang Zhu and the other to Zong Lei, chief engineer of the state-owned Shenyang Aircraft Factory. He was a member of the 613th Regiment Engine Company in the Southwest. And what Wang Zhu got was very, very peculiar.

"It is."

"Future!"

Yang Qiu smiled slightly, and closed the information in his hand: "If you can master it, the sky of the future will be ours!" Be careful with secrecy! After saying this, he simply formally tendered several types of military aircraft on the spot, including carrier-based torpedo planes, twin-engine long-range seaplanes, twin-engine military transport planes, monoplane fighters, trainer planes, and so on.

Yang Qiu's ease of swaying made Song Ziqing a little envious, especially the thick information that Wang's assistant held to death made him very curious, and it was not until many years later that he understood what he witnessed today.

Half a year later, with the help of Yang Qiu, Yunhua Aircraft Factory merged with the state-owned Xinyang Aircraft Factory, changed its name to Airbus, and became the 613th chapter in the country after Chongqing When I saw him, there was "major news" that he and Li Yuanhong had a quarrel that night. According to insiders in the presidential administration, the two men had a major clash over West Borneo. Yang Qiu believes that the whole country is in a great opportunity for transformation, and that military means should not be used on the issue of overseas Chinese in West Borneo, but that negotiations should be opened with the Dutch government to ensure the safety of overseas Chinese, and ask the Dutch government to grant autonomy to overseas Chinese in Nanyang. However, Li Yuanhong felt that he should be tough, otherwise he would be underestimated, and even said that he should not hesitate to declare war on the Netherlands and make clear the central government's determination to protect overseas Chinese.

After the two repeatedly argued to no avail, Yang Qiu simply ignored the matter and said that he would visit the United States to discuss a new round of economic cooperation, and that the National Defense Force would only be responsible for the security of overseas Chinese, and that the solution of the crisis would be handed over to the Nanjing Central Committee and would no longer participate in the resolution of the crisis.

Probably stunned, Li Yuanhong, who had been president for more than ten years, was clamoring to plug the loopholes in the constitution and take back power, so he summoned several cronies overnight and asked Yang Du to draft a constitutional amendment bill. This sudden change made the crisis in West Borneo even more confusing, and the next day Yang Du proposed a draft constitutional amendment to the Presidential Palace to the National Assembly, asking for a formal revision of the constitution! Move the capital to Beijing and change the current parliamentary system to a presidential system!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and before the Congress could figure out what Yang Qiu meant, Yang Du's proposal to amend the Constitution immediately caused a quarrel in the Congress! Because the current constitution of the Republic of China was revised on the basis of Song Jiaoren's Republic of China Covenant, it has always been regarded by them as the greatest achievement, and amending the constitution and changing the presidential system is tantamount to a slap in the face.

The constitutional amendment bill has caused a lot of noise in Parliament, and even the crisis in West Borneo has been greatly reduced.

As Yang Qiu began to prepare for his visit to the United States, he also welcomed his first post-crisis visitor, the British ambassador to China, Sir Lampson. Compared to his predecessors, the old knight has nothing to show for him, and if there is anything impressive, it is that he did not forget to bring his beloved Scottish Shepherd with him when he visited.

"Mr. Vice President, I deeply regret what happened to your expatriate, but I don't think that's a reason for you to send troops to Borneo! West Borneo is under the jurisdiction of the Dutch government and is recognized by the world! The British Empire did not want war in the East Indies, never! So tell your soldiers to withdraw immediately, and leave the responsibility for quelling the riot to the Batavian government! Probably because he found that the National Assembly of the Republic of China had already quarreled over the constitutional amendment, and had no time to pay attention to West Borneo, the old lord of Lampson also used the word "never" to strengthen his tone, and there was a posture of immediately starting a war if he did not agree with each other.

Yang Qiu knew what Britain was worried about, and he also knew that the whole world was now isolated by the British Empire, either openly or covertly, and stood at the window with the same seriousness, blocking the sun: "Mr. Ambassador, the crisis in West Borneo is not caused by our country!" After the riot, our country immediately sent a note to the Dutch government, but they still disregarded the lives of our nationals and were unwilling to send troops to maintain order, resulting in hundreds of casualties among our nationals! This is something that no responsible country will agree to! We have no choice but to protect overseas Chinese this time! ”

Seeing that Yang Qiu had never left the word "Protector", Lampson said tentatively: "So, you won't occupy West Borneo?" ”

"Occupation? Hehe, are you kidding?! I just want to keep the expatriates safe. The expansion of the riots was entirely due to the inaction of the Dutch government. ”

"I would like to inform the Dutch Government that the President and the people of the Netherlands are very angry about this matter, and although I myself am willing to negotiate peace, for some reason I will visit the United States in three days' time, so the Presidential Office will be solely responsible for this work. What I can tell you is that we don't need West Borneo land and don't want any war. It must also be emphasized! Batavia must immediately arrest the murderers of our nationals! Compensation for the loss of life and property caused by the riots to our expatriates totals $15 million! In order to prevent such incidents in the future, our diaspora in West Borneo must be given the right to suffrage and autonomy! ”

Knowing that Yang Qiu was going to visit the United States regardless of this matter, Lampson's head was a little painful, but when he heard about the huge compensation, especially the autonomy, he jumped up like the hunting dog at the door.

"It can't be!" …… (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
