Wang Maoru sat on the sofa, staring at the map, and several air force staff officers were taking measurements on the map, guessing where the plane would fall, etc.

News kept coming from Hubei, and sporadic clues made everyone even more nervous, and there was still no news of anyone alive.

Li Ruyan said at this time: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, in recent years, the use of the Prisoner Niu 1 and Prisoner Niu 2 transport aircraft has exposed a lot of problems, and last year alone, there were 16 problems with the Prisoner Niu 1 and 2 transport aircraft, and five pilots were killed, and 21 pilots were injured. We in the Army Aviation Department want to be able to purchase the latest transport aircraft, and the large aircraft at Saltu Air Base will be our target. This super-carrying aircraft has been studied and approved by the Ministry of Routes and Aviation, and if it is equipped, the combat effectiveness of the Ministry of Routes and Aviation, will be increased by three times. ”

"The Saltu Air Base is stepping up research, so that Deputy Chief Li, you can prepare for it in the next few days, go to the Saltu Air Base to see the progress of aircraft research and development." Wang Maoru said.

Luo Haiquan, the second commander of the Army Airlines, immediately said: "Your Excellency, I am afraid that the research and development of aircraft cannot be completed overnight, we need time, we need a lot of time. ”

Wang Maoru shook his head and said: "I would like to have time for development, but I'm afraid other countries won't give us time for development." ”

"Other countries?" Luo Haiquan said, "Japan? Or Soviet Russia? ”

Wang Maoru sneered: "The British, the Japanese, the Russians, the French, the Dutch, and the Americans will not give us time to develop." Don't look at us now that we are safe, it is because these countries have not yet solved their own domestic affairs, and once their country recovers from the European war six years ago, they will definitely take action against China. They wanted China to be divided, to become a cowardly state like the Manchus. We all want China to develop honestly, but will they let us develop? This year is the year of Jiazi, and the year of Jiazi is definitely not a year of peace, and the forces of various countries will certainly do their utmost to sabotage China's great good form and development. It's not that I don't give time to the research department. It's that foreigners don't give us time. After research and development, we still have to produce and equip, but how can we have so much time? If China and Japan go to war and China's coast is immediately destroyed by war, can I not be in a hurry? ”

Luo Haiquan nodded with a wry smile and said, "The president is so sure that China and Japan will go to war?" ”

"Sure and sure." Wang Maoru joked cutely, "There will be a war between China and Japan." Either Japan is over, or China is falling! ”

As the New Year passed, the whole country was busy again.

Chinese are idle, the first day of the new year to visit relatives' homes to greet the door, the second day of the new year sons-in-law take the little daughter-in-law to the mother's house to pay New Year greetings, the third day of the new year is the custom to avoid disaster. Relatives and friends are playing cards and mahjong pies at home, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year welcomes the God of Wealth, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year sets off firecrackers to clean up the whole family to drive out the poor ghosts, and on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the shops are reopened, everyone is beaming, the neighbors say hello to each other, and the young people call friends to go to the restaurant to drink and talk.

However, this time, everyone talked about a common thing, that is, the disappearance of the chief of the Chinese Army Airlines and his entourage on a plane.

The disappearance of the plane is not a big deal. After all, that thing is flying in the sky, and it's normal to accidentally fall into it and fall to pieces. It's just that the passengers on the plane are more special, and that is Lu Rongting, the chief of China Army Airlines.

Who is Lu Rongting?

At the age of 19, he fell into the grass and became a thief, who robbed the leader of the French Three-Point Society and protected the lives and property of the Chinese people. At the age of 26, he recruited an army for the Qing government, at the age of 46, he was canonized by the Qing government as a loyal and brave Batulu, at the age of 53, he became the overseer of Guangxi of the Republic of China, and at the age of 56, he raised the flag of the Northern Expedition. At the age of 59, he served as a patrol envoy of Guangxi and Guangzhou, covering the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi, and at the age of 60, he secretly presided over Guangxi's military affairs because Sun Liwen's Kuomintang rejected the electrification of the People's Party, and at the age of 61, he accepted the invitation of Wang Maoru, commander of the National Defense Force, to announce that the Gui Army would accept the reorganization of the National Defense Force and become a part of the Chinese National Defense Force. He was 62 years old. He served as the Chief of the Army Aviation Department of the Army Headquarters. At the age of 63, the Ministry of National Defense was established and began to serve as the chief of the Army Aviation Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense. Under his auspices, the headquarters of the Army Airlines has gradually grown and has more than 300 aircraft of various types. It has more than 400 airships and more than 70,000 army troops. His rank is higher than that of the commander of the group army, lower than the minister of defense, and his rank is only lower than that of marshal, so it can be said that he is one of the most important officers in China.

Due to Wang Maoru's long-standing emphasis on aircraft, the construction investment and research and development capabilities of the Army Aviation Department of the Chinese National Defense Force are not only in Asia, but also in the world. Compared with Japan, China's land aviation far surpassed Japan's naval aviation in terms of quantity and quality, and at that time Japan did not have such a division.

Did Lu Rongting betray the army and defect to the enemy country, or did he crash on a plane?

Many people talked about it, many people speculated, and some even speculated that the Japanese secretly acted with their hands, and even some newspapers called for a boycott of Japanese products to protest against the despicable behavior of the Japanese. For the first time, the Japanese government felt the frustration of being shot while lying down, and Nima really didn't do it this time......

Seven days have passed, nothing is known about the whereabouts of the plane, the transport plane numbered Q088 seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and Zhao Qing, the commander of the 15th Group Army, is anxious enough, and he can't find the transport plane no matter how he looks for it. Militiamen, villagers, and even shepherd boys who went up the hill to chop wood joined the search.

Finally, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, a person who went up the mountain to collect medicine in Shennongjia, Hubei Province, found the wreckage of the Q088 transport plane in the mountain, and it really crashed on a mountain peak in Shennongjia, and none of the 19 people on the plane were killed. When Wang Maoru learned of the situation, it was already the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and he was in the presidential palace dealing with a matter concerning the killing of officials sent by the central government by some border residents in western Mongolia and southern Xinjiang.

In order to consolidate the border areas, Wang Maoru's government specially recruited young students and sent them to the border to serve as regional officials, but these Han Chinese or banner people were rejected by the local locals in Outer Mongolia and southern Xinjiang, and some were even killed outright. The killing of young officials occurred a few years ago, and it caused great trauma in the hearts of the young people, causing many young people who went to the frontier to build a feeling of resistance and hatred in their hearts, and they often treated each other as "foreigners" in their work. Of course, this situation will inevitably occur, after all, the frontier has its own way of life and survival rules of the frontier people, and the survival mode of the Central Plains people may not be recognized by them. The most important point is that the Tusi (equivalent to the chiefs of each tribe) in the frontiers felt the threat to their rights from the central government's establishment of governments in the frontiers, so they actively cooperated with the government on the surface, and secretly instigated the serfs to rebel and even kill the young student officials sent by the central government.

Wang Maoru was extremely angry after seeing it, Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Kuian analyzed that the frontier alien races do not have the concept of China, and there are only four ethnic groups that really have the concept of China in China, namely the Han, Manchu, Hui, and Eastern Mongolian people, and most of the other frontier alien races have never been out of the mountains in their lives because of their low cultural level, and they cannot feel the concept of the country at all, and some are purely anti-Han ideas since ancient times, such as the Vultures in southern Xinjiang and the Khalkha people in Western Mongolia, and the other are the conquered Kazakhs and Tajiks. In addition, the British also constantly sent people into Tibetan areas to sow discord between Tibetan herders and Chinese government officials.

In the face of the increasingly tense surrounding environment, Wang Maoru categorically ordered: "Sinicization, complete Sinicization." ”

Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Kuian said uneasily: "Completely sinicized? This ......"

"Why is China still a complete country after thousands of years?" Wang Maoru said.

"The unification of China." Tang Shaoyi said with a smile, "China has known since ancient times that there are no two masters in heaven and no two countries in the land, not to mention Chinese intellectuals, even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in a peasant rebellion, wants to unify China and refuse to divide and govern the country." ”

"In Chinese culture, the most important idea is the idea of territorial integrity." Zhang Kuian said, "There is also a sense of ancestral identity. The reason why the Manchus integrated into the Han nationality is because all the Manchu emperors had to climb Mount Tai to worship heaven and earth, respect Confucius and Mencius as the foundation of national culture, and respect the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum as the ancestral mausoleum, which is why the Qing generation of Han people resisted the Qing Dynasty for only 80 years, and the Yuan Dynasty never stopped opposing the Yuan. ”

Wang Maoru said: "Therefore, from the perspective of the sinicization of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only by taking the Han culture as the theme of cultural education can people completely forget its independent color." Therefore, it must be sinicized, and all people in China's 14.86 million square kilometers of land must be sinicized. We can integrate the cultures of other peoples, but the Han civilization should exist as a cultural subject. Mandarin Chinese is the main language, and Hanzi simplified characters are the characters, and the education will continue for thirty years, and eventually there will be no other national ideas in the land of China. ”

"Xiusheng, your intentions are good, but there is a bit of a problem." Tang Shaoyi said, "For nearly 300 years, the Han people have been at the bottom, and your support for the revival of Han civilization will definitely make many local areas more resistant, and foreigners may use this to attack the Chinese government's persecution of foreign races." ”

Zhang Kuian suddenly smiled: "I have an immature idea. ”

"Tell me about it." Wang Maoru said.

Zhang Kuian smiled strangely and said: "It is indeed easy for Western powers and the Japanese government to seize the weakness of our country to attack, but it is better to consider from the perspective of ancestors and redefine the nation." ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "I understand, what you mean is that all the people living in China are the descendants of the Yanhuang tribe, and there is a great Chinese nation - we don't call it Sinicization, how barbaric, how ugly, how aggressive, let's call it the great integration of Chinese national culture, that is, the theory of Chinese nationality." ”
