Volume II Chapter 042 Building the Air Force I
Although Li Keji's methods were a little worse, but one hand with a big stick and the other hand radish had a great effect in practical work, and the first batch of training personnel soon graduated from the training camp, and Li Keji was also assigned to relevant jobs according to their different specialties.
The reason why Li Keji personally attended the graduation ceremony for them was that all of them were pilots, and this was one of the types of talents that the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army lacked the most.
As early as a long time ago, the chairman and others had been talking about the establishment of an air force unit belonging to the Red Army, but there were no relevant technical personnel within the Red Army, and even if Li Keji provided a full set of flight manuals, it was impossible to train qualified pilots in such a short period of time, not to mention that at that time, even the army's talent reserve was insufficient, and where did the surplus talent come from to train pilots, so it had to be shelved.
Now that the northwest base area is constantly expanding, it has completely occupied the entire northwest region, and the troops are also constantly expanding, and after the personnel are sufficient, the construction of the air force has been put on the agenda, and several air bases are also under construction.
In order to prepare for the establishment of the Air Force, the Party Central Committee has transferred many key cadres, including Liu Zhendong (General Liu Yalou) and Xiao Yizun (General Xiao Hua), the two backbone of the future Air Force.
When the party Central Committee first found the two people, they had no confidence in taking over the air force, and they really did not expect that there were many capable people in the army, and how could the party Central Committee be sure that they could do a good job in the air force, and it would be a trivial matter to lose face at that time, and it would not be good to delay the party's major affairs.
In order to strengthen the confidence of the two of them, the Party Central Committee temporarily revealed a little information about the future, and the two of them realized that they were actually the founders of the future Chinese Air Force, and they became full of confidence in an instant, and there was no reason why they could do it in the future, but they couldn't do it now.
In addition to building confidence, the two are also very happy, since they participated in the enlarged meeting of Wuqi Town last year, they learned that Li Keji came from the future, and like most people, they couldn't help but want to know about their future, but the Party Central Committee raised the height of the matter to the party and the country at the beginning, and directly cut off everyone's delusion.
Now the Party Central Committee has made an exception to tell them some information about the future, although it is only a simple explanation that the foundation of the future air force will be laid by two people, but it is already very grateful, at least there is no need to worry about dying in future battles, and there is no need to worry about being implicated in political struggles.
Of course, these things cannot be said explicitly, as long as you know them in your heart.
After strengthening their confidence, Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun settled in the Military and Political University to begin to study and study the knowledge of the Air Force.
Although the theoretical knowledge is relatively jerky to learn, Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun are as willing as they are, and the only thing that makes the two regret is that when they finished studying the piloting of the plane, Li Keji did not let them fly in person, so that the two of them would "trouble" Li Keji as long as they had the opportunity to provide him with training planes for the Air Force.
In the face of the two air force bosses, Li Keji really didn't dare to let them try it easily, if the plane didn't have an accident, it would be a big deal, he didn't want the two bigwigs to suffer any losses in advance, but the two of them pressed tightly, so they could only provide them with some ground training equipment and simulated driving to practice first.
Later, in order to distract the two of them, he gave them the task of building the air base and told them to do a good job of the foundation before they came to flight training.
Now that the air base has been basically completed, and Li Keji has also obtained a group of pilots from Soviet Russia, the actual construction cannot continue to be delayed, but if possible, Li Keji still does not want the two bigwigs to go to the sky in person, and he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, and it is not good if something really happens.
At the graduation ceremony of the training camp, when the pilots saw that the person attending the ceremony turned out to be Li Keji, they were all shocked, and now they no longer know anything as they did at the beginning, and the name of the liaison officer of the overseas organization has resounded throughout the training camp.
Through the unremitting efforts of the political workers, many Soviet and Russian comrades have been converted, and the Datong Party has not given them much faith, that is, it is simply said that it is the same wherever it is carried out, and since the Stalinists think that they are wrong, it is better to use their own practical actions in China to prove who is right and who is wrong.
Of course, there are not too many people in this part, most of them have lost confidence in **, and they just want to continue to live at present, but being able to transform some people is already a very remarkable progress for the Datong Party.
When people have a sense of identity, there will be vastly different changes in their work attitudes, and the active and passive effects cannot be equated at all, which is one of the reasons why the Datong Party has worked so hard.
After seeing Li Keji appear, the graduates were excited, but they also inevitably had a kind of resentment, all because Li Keji was so bad that he made the training staff unable to do it, and he loved and hated him.
Entering the field, Li Keji found the change in the expressions of the graduates, and did not feel sorry for their resentment, but made a graduation speech with a smile, asking them to work hard in the future and dedicate all their strength to the cause.
After the simple graduation ceremony, Li Keji made an exception at the graduation dinner to provide the group of pilots with excess drinks, originally according to the regulations, a table of eight people can only have one bottle of Moutai, but Li Keji provided them with two bottles, so that the pilots are very grateful.
After drinking Chinese Moutai, the pilots have fallen in love with this Chinese liquor, and although they are still unsatisfied every time, no one dares to offend Li Keji, the logistics chief, for fear that they will never be able to drink it again after provoking him.
After the graduation dinner, the pilots were taken out of the training camp, and after leaving the training camp, their original Soviet and Russian identities could no longer be used, and each person's new identity had a complete set of information, which was divided into two parts, one for the temporary management of the training camp, and later transferred to the relevant departments, and one for their personal possession.
In addition, each person also has an ID card and a work ID, and when making the ID card, Li Keji used the second-generation ID card, which surprised the training staff very much, they have never seen such a well-made ID. Comparatively speaking, the work permit is much inferior, just an ordinary plastic seal.
When they got their ID cards and work permits, the pilots still remember that when they first took pictures, the photographers held an extremely beautiful and small camera in their hands, which was completely different from anything they had ever seen, and its functions and pixels were much stronger than ordinary cameras, and the photos taken were clear and bright, without any flaws.
One of the pilots had a more lively surname and a more cheerful person, and he successfully transferred to the Datong Party in the transformation of political workers, so he quickly became acquainted with the staff when taking pictures, and was able to touch the exquisite little camera that made people covet once.
Later, when other comrades came to inquire, he could only tell his comrades that the camera used by the Datong Party had surpassed similar products in all countries at present, and it was the world's first in terms of actual function and manufacturing process, and he could not believe that this camera was invented and manufactured by the Datong Party.
As in the case of the trainees, after the northwestern base areas were stabilized, Li Keji also suggested to the party Central Committee that all soldiers and comrades should be given a compilation of information, not only should everyone have ID cards, military certificates, and party membership cards, but even the masses of the people in the base areas should also establish a household registration system.
Although it is a little early, it can also be used as a rehearsal for the future national census and by the way to train corresponding cadres. In addition, after the census is over, it will also have a strong effect on the establishment of a military service system in the future, so that the door-to-door propaganda and encouragement as is now will not necessarily encourage honest peasants to come out and work as soldiers.
The party Central Committee was very much in favor of Li Keji's proposal, and soon organized relevant personnel to set up the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and systematically investigated and sorted out the data within the party and the army.
As for the household registration system in the base areas, because the people's residences in the northwest region are too scattered and the Datong Party also lacks local civil affairs cadres, the progress is not very good, but it is still constantly groping for progress.
What the pilots did not expect was that when they left the training camp, they would still have a "car" to pick them up, but they did not dare to think about it beforehand, and one of the reasons was that the transport troops of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army were extremely nervous now, and most of the time they were used to transport all kinds of materials, and there was no surplus "car" to transport personnel.
When they got on the "car", this group of pilots from Soviet Russia also made a very common joke, that is, they recognized the transport tractors in the workers' and peasants' Red Army as a new type of truck, which made Wang Ming, who had been escorting them, smile bitterly.
The training camp was set up near Lanzhou, and Li Keji sent this group of newly graduated pilots to the air base in Lanzhou, which was actually not far away, otherwise it would be impossible for him to get a few transport tractors from Mu Cheng, the head of the logistics department, to help transport people, although he also hung the position of honorary adviser of the logistics department, and it was not so easy to squeeze out something in Mu Cheng's old hands.
After coming to Lanzhou Air Base, Liu Zhendong and Xiao Yizun heard the news early and waited there, but this time the two made up their minds not to let Li Keji use other excuses to perfunctory them.
