Chapter 57 Opportunities for the Development of Aviation Careers

Spring rain is like weaving!

Looking at the rain outside the window, Feng Hua, the captain of the First Aviation Group of the National Defense Force, stood at the door with his waist crossed and snorted fiercely.

"Lose his mother, it's been raining for two days and it hasn't stopped. The sky is fine, and there is not a day when the ground is not dry. Feng Hua scolded, and Zhou Yuxiang, who was working at the desk in the office, glanced at this outlaw sadly and angrily. As an aviation enthusiast, I was banned from going to the sky because I wanted to engage in technology. How can this be reasonable?

"If you fly some, you can be content, I don't think the commander-in-chief will let you fly." As he spoke, Zhou Yuxiang got up and put away the drawings in his hand, waved his hand and said, "I'm going to the engine research institute to implement some of the recent problems." ”

Feng Hua waved his hand, without meaning to follow, and at this time a guard came in and said, "Team Feng, there is someone looking for you outside." ”

"Who's looking for me? Did you ask what it was called? Feng Hua took out the cigarette and pointed it, and the guard said, "It's called Feng Ru." "Bang, the cigarette fell to the ground, and Feng Hua snorted: "Lao Zhou, your best partner is here." Zhou Yuxiang, who walked to the door, stood up and turned around and said, "What? That cousin of yours is from Guangdong? Didn't he say that he had set up some kind of air force in Guangdong? There are also several planes, so they don't come. ”

"How do I know? Let's go out and have a look. As he spoke, Feng Hua dragged Zhou Yuxiang and ran out, without any umbrellas, anyway, the spring rain is like this, and it is not cold when it falls on his face.

After the assassination, Fang Jianxiong was already very troublesome if he wanted to go out, but today he had to go to the door. After the new unit was established, Marshal Fang quickly thought of another problem. Because of the problems of roads and logistics, artillery can't be engaged, so what about bombers? If you can solve the problem of bombers, not to mention how many bombs you can carry, how many mortar shells can be dropped from the sky, right? I don't expect to be able to blow up a battleship, but to scare the opponent's artillery and machine guns or anything. Looks like I've seen it in some novel. During a civil war during the Republic of China, the plane dropped bombs, and the people did not blow up a few, but they frightened the opponent and bombed the battalion.

Jokes aside, if there were really bombers, artillery would not have the problem of mobility with the roads, and the Air Force would not be a big problem. Anyway, fly over and drop the bomb. Come back. Fly and lose again. What would it be like if there could be a rudimentary bomber, not many, a hundred, and suddenly appear when the battle is about to be made, and all the bombs will be dropped? Lao Tzu also did not seek to bomb the Beiyang. After a few years of war, if the little devil has to fight Qingdao, when he lands. Isn't it cool to come to this business for a few trips?

Marshal Fang, who has always focused his work on army building and political struggle, wanted to inspect the aviation brigade on a whim. Catch up with the rainy day, a meal of chickens and dogs. Two small cars and two trucks in front and behind roared out of the headquarters and rushed to the suburbs.

The perimeter of the air force is also heavily guarded, and an infantry battalion guards this area. Dashuai's convoy is naturally unimpeded. When I arrived at the gate, I saw several young men at the door, without umbrellas, all squatting under the low eaves by the wall.

Qi Erzhu, who opened the road in front, immediately ordered to stop, and Fang Jianxiong could also see it from behind. The guards on the truck got out of the car one after another to protect the marshal. A few young people who were squatting on the ground stood up at this time, looking at this side in some surprise, which big man is this so loud!

The guards in the watchtower came out to line up, and after Qi Erzhu stepped forward to understand the situation, he came back to report: "Dashuai, a few people came from Guangdong to find relatives." By the way, I was looking for Feng Hua, I looked at the registration book, and the signature was Feng Ru. ”

What? What's it called? Fang Dashuai had an obvious stiff expression, and the next moment he made a move that surprised Qi Erzhu. Da Shuai actually pushed the car door, he didn't need to open the umbrella, strode forward, and said loudly as he walked: "Which one is Feng Ru?" ”

A thin man with a surprised face, took a step forward when he heard the sound, and arched his hand: "Down there is Feng Ru." Who are you? ”

"Welcome! Welcome! So welcome! I've heard that you've built airplanes in the U.S. and you've done a good job. Your ability to come to Wuchang will certainly play an important role in promoting the development of the national defense force's shipping cause. Fang Jianxiong stepped forward to hold the hand of the other person, and forgot to report his name, so he knew that he was talking excitedly there.

Feng Ruzhen was at a loss, who is this person? This can't be blamed on Feng Ru's eyes for not knowing Mount Tai, the photographic technology of this era is still relatively painful, and the printing technology is not much better. In the newspapers I saw in Guangdong, I had seen Fang Dashuai's photos, but compared to real people, they were blurry and distorted.

"Your Excellency?" Feng Ru, who was confused, didn't know at all, what was the excitement of this person in front of him at the moment?

It couldn't help but be that Fang Dashuai was not excited, after Feng Ru heard the name from Feng Hua last time, he remembered it when he thought about it. As the pioneer of China's aviation industry, this ancestor who has been praised countless times by his successors is not famous in this era. Fang Dashuai quickly asked the Intelligence Bureau to find Feng Ru's relevant materials, and after reading it, he was sweating. This guy is a mechanical genius, and he has made new inventions in pumps and pile drivers, and he can build his own radio. Definitely a tech maniac!

Such a person took the initiative to come to the door, and he had to be left behind, right? In history, it seems that this fierce man fell off the plane, what a pity, this time it shouldn't be, right?

"Dashuai!" Feng Hua and Zhou Yuxiang, who came to the door, saw this scene and immediately saluted.

Fang Jianxiong remembered to introduce himself at this time, and hurriedly smiled: "Seeing a smile and laughing, I have always admired the master of technology. Officially, below Jianxiong, commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht. ”

Feng Ru can be regarded as having seen Fang Dashuai, who is said to be very powerful in leading troops, very good at fighting, and very fierce in business. Feng Ru returned to China in February 1911, and the Qing government attached great importance to him at that time, and he became famous. Unexpectedly, after returning to China, he was suspected of being a revolutionary party and had nothing to do all day. After the Wuchang Uprising, Guangdong became independent, and the Nanjing Provisional Government also attached great importance to him and appointed him as the captain of the aviation team. However, with the development of the revolutionary form, Feng Ru could not find a room to play, and even the Curtis plane imported from the United States had to be approved by the government if he wanted to fly once.

In addition to being depressed, Feng Ru received a telegram from Feng Hua, telling about his treatment in Wuchang. On the Wuchang side, it's not a question of whether you want to fly or not, but whether you want to fly or not. A fixed 20 hours of flight training per week, gasoline or anything at all do not have to worry about the government not being able to afford it. If you can go to heaven and be treated well, that's it. What attracted Feng Ru the most was that Wuchang actually imported machinery and equipment from the United States to build his own aircraft. This is too attractive for Feng Ru, and he can't resist it at all.

Simply, he handed in his resignation to the Guangdong Military Government, and took a few colleagues to Wuchang first, and the planes and planes he brought back were all lost in Guangzhou. After walking for half a month, when I arrived in Wuchang, the north-south tripartite talks ended and the Republic of China was established.

You don't have to worry about revolutionary things by yourself, and Feng Ru's mind is even more tied to aircraft manufacturing. When I arrived in Wuchang, I didn't bother to put down my luggage, so I took a few colleagues and inquired all the way to find the airport in the suburbs.

Before I came, I was a little apprehensive about the future treatment. In fact, Feng Ru doesn't have too high requirements, as long as he can give some money, he can build an airplane. No matter how bad it is, let him fly.

What he didn't expect was that he suddenly killed a Fang Dashuai, and his enthusiasm and understanding of Cheng Dù made Feng Ru unable to believe it.

No, after introducing the accompanying assistants Zhu Zhuquan, Zhu Zhaohuai and Situ Biru, Fang Dashuai personally carried a bag of luggage, laughed and said: "Let's go, go in and say, I'm so happy that Mr. Feng can come." ”

Fang Dashuai personally carried his luggage and walked inside, and let Qi Erzhu snatch it in a few steps. This is not important, the important thing is that Feng Ru saw a person who can really support the development of the aviation industry. This person is said to be a reactionary warlord, which makes Feng Ru still a little uneasy. All the way inside, no one had an umbrella, the spring rain was not heavy, and the soft sprinkling on the face was like a woman's hand caressing.

Fang Dashuai said to himself a little as he walked: "Mr. Feng, the speed of development of the aviation industry is related to the development of the national defense industry. Don't look at the current airplanes are still very simple, in the future, with the development of science and technology, the air force will inevitably become the dominant branch of the war. In today's world, aviation has not attracted enough attention from the outside world, and we have taken the lead. ”

As he was talking, Fang Jianxiong suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Yuxiang: "Boy, didn't you ask you to go to the United States to dig up technical talents?" Why haven't you left yet? Are you trying to swallow my $500,000? Of course, Zhou Yuxiang heard the joking tone, but he was also excited and said: "The handsome man is looked down upon, and Zhou's life is going to be thrown away on the aero engine." I'm not in a hurry to go back to the United States for the time being, I have to solve a few potential safety hazards that are currently in the way, otherwise I will come back, the pilots will be gone, and I will design the plane, who will fly? ”

When he heard the figure of 500,000 US dollars, Feng Ru's brain was a little congested. stepped forward to stop Fang Dashuai and asked loudly: "Is there really 500,000 US dollars?" A Curtis is only 6,000 dollars. ”

Fang Jianxiong faced the excited Feng Ru and said with a faint smile: "If you can build a larger horsepower and safer engine by yourself, and you can develop an aircraft with a longer range and a larger carrying capacity, it will be worth spending any amount of money." In the Wehrmacht to engage in aircraft, you should remember one thing, there is no need to worry about money, no one lacks money, there is no shortage of aviation research institutes and flight teams. ”

"Thank you! Thank you! Feng Ru grabbed Fang Jianxiong's hand, his eyes were full of tears, and he shook vigorously. The spring rain fell on the face, and it was not clear whether it was tears or rain. Several casual assistants were also trembling with excitement at the moment.

In this spring drizzle, the Wehrmacht aviation has ushered in a new opportunity for development. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the www.biquge.info of Qidian to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
