On January 8, 1932, on the third day of the arrival of Zhou F, the leader of the Hongbei Central Group in Beiping, Luo Yaoguo arrived in Shanghai by train. Ostensibly because of the protests caused by the slow progress of the Sino-British negotiations on the Shanghai Public Concession during this period, in fact he got off the train at the Anting railway station on the outskirts of Shanghai, and quietly went to the Republic Aircraft Manufacturing Company in Anting Town, accompanied by Li Shun'en, commander of the Air Force, and Wang Zhu, director of the Aviation Research Institute.

The heavy industry plan of the Nationalist "government" led by Luo Yaoguo pursued efficiency and speed, neither giving too much consideration to independent research and development and independent intellectual property rights, nor did it fail to build those important factories and research institutes in the deep mountains and old forests to avoid the prying eyes and bombardment of rabbit imperialism. Instead, it is placed around Jiangnan, Guangdong, and the capital Wuhan, which have the most developed economy and the most convenient transportation.

The second largest aircraft factory in China is located in the suburbs of Shanghai, next to the Nanjing-Shanghai Railway, in Anting Town, and adjacent to it is also the largest automobile and tractor manufacturing enterprise in China, and the GM China Company, which has just been acquired by the Ministry of Armaments of the National Government, is also one of the two largest tank factories in China.

After the convoy entered the empty factory area, several small monoplanes made Luo Yaoguo immediately excited, and after four years of design and continuous improvement, the prototype of Yan 1 finally completed the final finalization.

It is a true monoplane, powered by 750 hp 14 bmw 131 star-cooled engines produced by Sino-German Aircraft Company, in addition to having retractable landing gear and a fully enclosed cockpit.

The wingspan of the aircraft reached 10

97 m: overall length 7.49 m: overall height 2.62 m: wing area square meters: empty weight 1633 kg: maximum speed 410 km, hour: range up to 1400 km.

Compared with the ME2 series of biplanes in the current Kuomintang Air Force, this Yanyi 1 can be said to be the crystallization of the most advanced aircraft design concepts and new technologies.

The streamlined fuselage adopts a lower wing design, completely abandons the wood and canvas, and adopts the new pot alloy produced by Sino-US Guangxi Pot Industry Company. The rear three-point retractable landing gear makes the flight drag less, and the enclosed cockpit can give the flight a comfortable and safer driving environment, so as to maximize the aircraft's Xing energy.

Of course, the prototype, which uses quite a few of the latest technologies, still falls short of the ideal standard. The retractable landing gear designed by the German company was too complex and the manufacturing process was too demanding: the lateral stability of the aircraft was also poor, and it would be risky to do certain tactical maneuvers: and the enclosed cockpit seemed to be a little larger, and it was very wide after installing a short BO radio, gyroscope, etc., which should be comfortable to sit in, but it wasted the extremely limited space on the aircraft. In addition, the aircraft is not currently equipped with any armament, but only reserves internal space for the installation of one-meter aviation machine guns and two-millimeter aviation machine guns, but such a firepower configuration is obviously too weak.

Despite its shortcomings of one kind or another, this monoplane is still an epoch-making aircraft. In the process of designing and improving this aircraft, a large number of aviation technical personnel have also been trained, including Luo Yaoguo's wife Lu Xiaobei, including the students of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Metallurgy of the Sino-German United Institute of Technology have participated in the relevant research and development work. Moreover, in the process of design and development, a large number of technical breakthroughs on monoplanes have been carried out, including the development and production of landing gear, cockpit, airborne radio, airborne radio navigation equipment, as well as special pot alloys and some other special alloys. It laid the foundation for the further development of China's aviation industry in the future, and of course, a considerable number of German companies and engineers also participated in this project, and also accumulated a lot of valuable experience for the design and development of German monoplanes.

After watching the flight show of this Yanyi 1 at the small military airport outside Anting Town, Luo Yaoguo, who had already obtained the aircraft pilot license again, also got on the plane to fly it himself, because it was the "first time" to fly a monoplane, Luo Yaoguo just carefully circled in the air a few times, and did not do any big maneuvers.

As he flew through the sky with the plane, he suddenly found that the small town of Anting below was already a large modern industrial base...... Strategic air strikes on the enemy's industrial bases were the most important means for the United States to defeat Germany and Japan in World War II. Should China also be prepared in this regard?

After experiencing a new aircraft, Luo Yaoguo visited the R&D center to assemble the F3A, F38 and F3C, three new aircraft developed based on R&D 1. The F3A is a two-seat trainer aircraft: the F Wu is a banquet military fighter: and the F3 is a naval carrier-based fighter with foldable wings and a reinforced landing gear and fuselage structure. This is not to say that China's aviation technology is really catching up with Britain and the United States, but because of the Great Depression, Britain and the United States are now tightening their military spending, and many new aircraft development projects have been forced to be discontinued.

Later, Luo Yaoguo also visited the assembly workshop where the final equipment was being commissioned, and according to the company's general manager Sherversky, all the equipment was purchased from the collapsed American Fokker Aircraft Company and several other American companies that were struggling to operate. Although the equipment is second-hand, the maintenance is not bad, and the engineers and skilled workers of the other party can be packed together and invited to China to help build factories and train their own technicians. Like the Sino-German joint ventures, the Republic Aircraft Training Institute has now established its own technical school, where American technicians teach and train young Chinese workers who have just graduated from primary or secondary school. According to the plan..., after the first batch of workers have completed two years of technical training, the plant will be ready for production. If it is produced at full capacity, Republic Aircraft Company can produce more than 1,000 R&D 1 series aircraft at most next year, provided that the national "government" can provide sufficient order ................

"I feel that China is making progress every day, and I can't believe that in this era when the whole world is in a depression, there is such a place that maintains such a rapid development."

In the living room of the British Consulate General on the Bund in Shanghai, Sir Lambson said to Luo Yaoguo and Natalie in a tone of obvious compliment: "What makes people feel even more excited is that China is now a unified country, and you must know that whenever this country achieves unity and stability after the great 'chaos', it must be the beginning of another prosperous era."

Natalie smiled and took over the topic: "That's the case, stability and unification are the foundation of a strong country, our people have been looking forward to this era for a long time, and civil war and division will only consume national strength, Sir Lambsang, now the Soviet Union is in a brutal civil war, I don't know what the British Empire has plans for this?" ”

Sir Rampson took a sip of his coffee cup and replied quietly: "The Reich has already provided humanitarian aid to the people of the Soviet Far East and Eastern Siberia, and if necessary, the Reich can increase the scale of the aid appropriately." ”

Luo Yaogu didn't speak today, just silently listened to the conversation between Natalie and Lan Pusheng, he didn't know what Lan Pusheng's real purpose was in inviting him to have afternoon tea this time? Could it be because of the ongoing negotiations to reclaim the concessions in Shanghai and Tianjin? The Nationalist "government" was quite polite on this issue, and did not take it back forcefully immediately after the victory of the Sino-Japanese War, but only negotiated slowly with the British...... This should have fully taken care of the face of the British Empire, and this Lan Pusheng should not be dissatisfied.

Today's meeting was informal, and Lan Pusheng only invited Luo Yaoguo and Natalie, while Lan Pusheng was the only one on the British side.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of this revolution launched by Trotsky? Is it possible for him to replace Stalin as the leader of the Soviet Union? After chatting with Natalie for a while about the ongoing Soviet Civil War, Lan Pusheng opened his mouth to test Luo Yaoguo's coming.

Luo Yaoguo smiled secretly in his heart, this British's mind is really still in the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union

Capitalism is regarded as a thorn in the side of capitalist countries all over the world, and the British top brass is no exception. However, due to Britain's consistent idea of maintaining the balance of power in various countries, the destruction of the Soviet Union and the strengthening of China or Germany may not be the situation they want to see, right?

"Trotsky's replacement of Stalin as the leader of the Soviet Union does not change anything for us, the Soviet Union is still a country that pursues extreme Bolshevism, and they will still spare no effort to overthrow the legitimate 'governments' of all countries in the world, including our 'government'." Luo Yaoguo said that he paid attention to Lan Pusheng's expression, and sure enough, the British ambassador's eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a little approval and expectation in his eyes: "Unless we and the Western world can join hands to fight back against the expansion of the Bolsheviks and liberate the whole of Russia from their brutal rule." Otherwise, whatever Bolshevik leader was in power in the Soviet Union, they would do everything in their power to export their revolutionary life to the rest of the world and undermine stability there. ”

Lan Pusheng looked at Luo Yaoguo with a little disbelief when he heard this, do these Chinese really have the ambition to destroy the Soviet Union? Or did they want to use the destruction of the Soviet Union as an excuse to expand their military power and eventually expand to the south?

He cautiously probed Luo Yaoguo: "Since your country has recognized GCISM as a threat, why don't you eradicate the G7 armed forces of the [China] country entrenched in Méng and northern Shaanxi?" There they exist...... I don't think you could have a conflict with the Soviet Union, right? ”

A smile appeared on Luo Yaoguo's face: "Sir, I have always believed that the GCISM issue is not a military issue, but a political issue. The main reason for the victory of the Bolshevik Party in Soviet Russia was not how powerful they were, but the political ** of Tsarist Russia and its participation in the world war regardless of the actual situation of the country, of course, the Entente took a series of countermeasures after the order of the Soviet Revolution, and all these political mistakes together gave the Bolshevik Party the opportunity to seize power in Russia. Now, if we want to change this mistake, we must really unite China and the Western world and take concerted steps to strike at and weaken the Bolsheviks on all fronts: at the same time we must also make a distinction between the Russian people and the Bolsheviks, and in the future our military action will be directed only against the Bolsheviks, and not against Russia as a whole! ”

"Then you really plan to start a war to destroy the Soviet Union," Lan Pusheng couldn't help but gasp. Slowly shook his head: "But the Soviet Union is such a vast and powerful country, how can it be possible to defeat them with the strength of [China] and maybe Bolan?" ”

"If you add Germany, there's ...... And what about the Russian Empire? ..., Luo Yaoguo put down the small * coffee cup in his hand and looked at Lan Pusheng with a solemn face: "Sir, I have just said that the Bolsheviks are a political problem, and if we want to eliminate this scourge, we must find a political way to deal with it, rather than relying solely on force.

Judging from the problems that arose in the Soviet Union after the Trotsky uprising...... The rule of the Bolsheviks was quite brutal, and the standard of living of the Soviet people was nowhere near as good as it was in Tsarist Russia. Especially their peasants, who even lived even more bitterly than in those years in the world war! If we can unite the forces of the entire Western world and the free countries of the East, we should be able to overthrow the tyranny of the Bolsheviks! ”

Lan Pusheng's mind turned, analyzing the idea proposed by Luo Yaoguo in his mind. This veteran British diplomat, who is already in his fifties, couldn't help but feel a little excited and moved at this time. Because he knew that this meeting would probably go down in history in the future!

He took a deep breath and calmed down: "Of course, it is possible for His Excellency Marshal's vision to become a reality. It's just that what kind of reward does China want to get in this overthrow of the tyranny of the Bolsheviks? And what good can the rest of the Western world do? ”

Luo Yaogu really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, judging from the excited expression of the knight in front of him, the overthrow of the Bolshevik regime in the Soviet Union was indeed the dream of Western countries all along.

In the memory of his previous life, this dream did not come true until 1991! He smiled slightly: "The Russian Empire is a fairly vast and wealthy country, so she is capable of paying enough for her restoration. For example, China's demand is to recover the land ceded to Tsarist Russia in the historical "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty", "Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty", and "Sino-Russian Ili Treaty", and to recover the indemnity paid by China to Tsarist Russia in history and collect the corresponding interest...... Perhaps Bolan could be restored to some extent to its historical prime, and Germany should be revived in this war to destroy the Bolsheviks, and colonies could be given to Central Asia and the South Caucasus. Britain and France, of course, also had their own interests, such as the obligation of the restored Russian Empire to repay the huge debt owed to France, and to protect the interests of French capital in Russia. For Britain,........., a Europe and the world that have been restored to balance should be the best reward, in addition, I heard that the royal families of Europe are in fact relatives, I wonder if the British royal family is related to the Normanov dynasty? Can you inherit the crown of Peter the Great? ”

Lan Pusheng nodded slowly, he was a little stunned by the wonderful prospect depicted by Luo Yaoguo, according to this plan..., the people of China can get more than one million square kilometers of land. Bolan could swallow Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania into an Eastern European power. Germany could get rid of the shackles of the Treaty of Versailles and restore its status as a great power in one fell swoop, while at the same time gaining colonies from the South Caucasus and Central Asia of the Soviet Union...

Perhaps they will also annex Austria, the Czech Republic, Estonia and Latvia to become the hegemon of Central Europe. However, there is a powerful Bolan and the pro-British Russian Empire and France together, and there should be no threat to the hegemony of the British Empire. If this wonderful prospect comes true, the hegemony of the British Empire may last another century or more!

"Your Excellency, I will report to London the truth of my conversation with you today, and I am sure that the politicians in London will be very interested in it." Sir Lambson pondered and asked, "But you still did not answer my initial question, how do you intend to settle the Bolshevik Party in China?" Do you really believe that they will give up their arms and become a peaceful party? ”

"Sir, they are not real Bolsheviks. At least not the vast majority of people! ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled and shook his head: "There are no real Bolsheviks in our weaker countries, they are just some nationalists under the banner of Bolsheviks, and there is no essential difference between them and our Kuomintang."

And our differences are now being bridged. According to the report of our intelligence department, the soldiers and junior officers in the Chinese army from Hebei, Lubei and the three northeastern provinces now want to return to their hometowns to farm and live a stable life...... You may not know that more than seventy percent of the soldiers of the Chinese G army came from those provinces. At the same time, the local political power being established by the Nationalist "government" has also given a good way out for the middle-level intellectuals within the Central G. And their top leaders can also get good positions in cooperation with the national "government", such as the "chairman" of the six provinces, the members of the legislative and supervisory houses, and if the mutual trust between the two sides is further strengthened in the future, many of them can also find their own positions in the national "government". Therefore, we do not need to use force to solve the Sino-G issue. ”！。
