The Fuzhou Naval Aviation School was first founded in 1915, when Chen Zhaoqiang, director of the Fuzhou Shipping Administration Bureau and principal of the Fuzhou Naval School, applied for a fund from the Ministry of the Navy to open the Naval Diving School in Fuzhou Naval School, becoming the earliest school in China to train aviation and submarine manufacturing and piloting talents. The school offers five majors: aircraft manufacturing, flight, submarine construction, submarine piloting and marine engineering. Subsequently, the Aviation School and the Submarine School were separated and became the Naval Aviation School and the Naval Submarine School.

The Naval Aviation School was one of the first factories and schools to move out of Fuzhou, and the new site was chosen at the foot of Maoshan Ridge in Fangcheng County, about 10 kilometers west of Qinzhou Port. At the beginning of September, the coast of the Beibu Gulf was clear and clear, and the arrival of the Naval Aviation School still broke the original tranquility and comfort here. The climate here is different from Fuzhou, and it seems to give people a brighter feeling.

A large open space at the foot of Maoshan Ridge has been enclosed as a military restricted area, surrounded by barbed wire. The autumn ploughing has long been over, the fields have grown green seedlings, and the farmers are busy in the fields, and they occasionally raise their heads and look curiously at the huge concrete field in the distance as if dozens of rice fields were connected together, and the planes taxiing on the field. Many of them worked inside the airport during the construction of the airport, and after the airport was built, several huge warehouses were built next to it.

"Buzz...... Buzz"

With the roar of engines, two pigeon 3 trainers manufactured by EDRICH on the airport runway were lifted off one after another, and these planes were obviously a little stiff in the process of lifting. At least not skilled.

"These pilots also need to be trained, perhaps because they are used to flying biplanes, and they are not used to operating high-speed monoplanes." Watching the pilots of the Chinese Naval Air Corps in training from the command tower. Lieutenant Colonel Kukochi frowned slightly, "From now on." The flight training time per person has been extended to 4 hours. ”

As a member of the Military Advisory Group of the Naval Aviation of the South China Fleet, Niklas. Lieutenant Colonel Kukotch served as a flight instructor for the fleet air force. China's naval aviation obviously lacks effective training, and most of the aircraft used are Fokker 3 and Islaya 2 "Seagull" biplanes that were eliminated by Germany and Austria after the European war, and there are few new monoplanes. And due to the lack of cement and asphalt, most of the military airfields are airstrips made of yellow mud, and when it rains, they are unusable because of the muddy fields.

The navy purchased two squadrons of "Wild Bee" carrier-based dive bombers from Austria-Hungary, but the thick nose of the "Wild Bee" made the Chinese pilots uncomfortable with their private clothes. The pilot sits in the cockpit and can barely see the runway in front of him, and can only take off and land by feeling, which requires a high level of pilot's operating skills and experience.

Most of the German-Austrian military advisers to China were active-duty military officers, and for them they were on duty in the Far East, but the Chinese side still provided a monthly allowance of about 500 crowns, which was almost the same as the monthly salary of a mid-ranking officer. Therefore, serving in the Far East is still very attractive for some people, which is equivalent to earning double the salary.

Kukoc, who had served in the Far Eastern Fleet, was transferred from Annam to China for three years. It wasn't the square text that gave him the most headache. Rather, the naval officers speak when they are together, and most of the senior officers in the Chinese navy are Hokkien, and they talk in Hokkien dialect, which Kukotka still does not understand. Whenever this happens, he feels like a fool, which makes him feel very frustrated.

He stepped down from the conning tower, where Colonel Su Fengchun and his friend Lieutenant Colonel Kraft were waiting for him.

"How?" Colonel Su said. He graduated from the Yantai Naval Academy, but he was a native of Guangdong, and the navy was basically controlled by Fujianese, and it was difficult for people from other provinces to sit in the captain's position, so he was admitted to the Army Aviation School in Beijing and learned to fly. Later, he was introduced to the Fuzhou Naval School as a teacher by a teacher surnamed Xie.

"I shouldn't be very comfortable, I'll get better if I fly a few more times." Kukocchi said. The "Wild Bee" is indeed difficult to operate, but the structure is solid. And the engine has a lot of horsepower and is very fast.

"Hi. Nick, is there a good thing you can do? Lieutenant Colonel Kraft walked over.

"What's wrong?" Kukocchi asked.

"A Guangxi general called me and said that they were short of flight instructors and asked who would like to go to them. I'm going to go to the top and they can double the stipend. Kraft said.

"How much?" Kukochi asked.

"1,200 crowns a month, plus a subsidy of 200 crowns, which is almost three times the price offered by Beijing." Kraft said.

"Go!" Kukochi said that the salary offered by the Guangxi army was very attractive, "but will the above agree?" ”

"It should be said that they are buying fighter jets produced by Islaia, and the manager of their company in China is very familiar with us, so it should not be difficult to do it." Kraft said that their personnel relationship was in the hands of Annam's Far East Fleet, but that the relationship between the country's major arms dealers and the colony's top brass and the military had always been good.

The Guangxi Army was a local warlord who owned all of Guangxi and part of Guangdong and Hunan, and although it was ostensibly subordinate to Beijing, it was in fact difficult for the War Department to mobilize their troops. They have their own agents in the parliament and in the government, and they have an agreement with the central government to pay about one-seventh of the fiscal revenue every year, and the rest of the tax revenue is at their own disposal, so they can raise an army of nearly 150,000 people.

Originally, those local warlords who did not obey the central government or had a bad reputation were subdued by Beijing by force, but now the remaining local forces have reached similar agreements with Beijing, and can still hold local military and political power. However, if the reputation is too bad and the people are dissatisfied, Beijing can already afford to remove them.

Since the death of Yuan Shikai, China has maintained this very peculiar phenomenon, but the overall political situation is relatively stable.

Duan Qirui had planned to use force to solve these warlords, but because Xu Shuzheng participated in the military operation to intervene in Russia at that time, sent troops to recover Mongolia and Siberia, and focused on the north, and under the containment of Li Yuanhong, Duan's ideas were not implemented. After the Beiyang Army entered Hunan and Sichuan, it did not enter Yunnan-Guizhou and Liangguang again, but reached a compromise with the southwestern warlords.

The original southwestern warlords Tang Jiyao and Lu Tingrong were still overthrown by Xu Shuzheng's strategy, and now Gu Pinzhang, the overseer of Yunnan, Wang Wenhua of Guizhou, and Ma Xiaojun of Guangxi, were all supported by Xiao Xu behind his back, so they can sit down until now.

However, Beijing is ready to begin regrouping these local armies. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
