Chapter 288: The Great Era
Yang Feng's ultimate Mustang dropped his jaw in shock, and the pilot in charge of the test flight was a little dizzy when he came down, the twin demon was already fast enough, so fast that until now it was the existence that all other fighters looked up to, but this plane was actually faster than it.
The twin demon is fast because it is twin-engined, and both engines that can drive a high-performance fighter jet on their own can be added to an airplane, and it is difficult to think about it if it is not fast. But it was a single-engine plane, and that engine was no bigger than Allison's water-cooled engine.
"This is called a turboprop engine, which belongs to the latest concept, even foreign countries have just begun to develop, this time I brought ten of these engines, as well as all its technical information, but this aircraft may not be very suitable as a fighter, so Yanhuang Laboratory has engaged in a new design based on this aircraft, your task is to build this kind of aircraft for me in Beiping, and at the same time try to see if you can imitate this engine." Yang Feng said to Zhu Jiaren, chief engineer of the Beiping Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
Lao Zhu finally did not withstand his bewilderment, abandoned his status as a civil servant in the Aviation Commission, and came to preside over the aircraft manufacturing business in Beiping after Wang Zhu left, and now this factory is completely able to produce all of Yang Feng's aircraft alone, but because of the scale problem, the output has not reached the level of Chongqing, but the technology is more perfect than Chongqing, because Chongqing cannot build engines, but here has the authorized production capacity of Pratt & Whitney and Allison engines.
Several Chinese engine engineers transferred from Lockheed gathered around to look at the turboprop five brought by Yang Feng, shaking their heads one by one, it was obvious that this kind of engine was a little beyond their capabilities.
"Take your time, don't rush, even if you can't make the exact same. Only if you can make something that can be used, even if the power is small, the body size is not a big deal, this matter is definitely not possible for you to do it yourself, go to the Academy of Sciences to find all the professors in this area, it is really not possible to go to Nanjing to find the people of the Sun Yat-sen Research Institute. If it doesn't work in one year, it will be two years, and if it doesn't work in two years, it will be three years, and I don't believe that it can't be made!" Boss Yang shouted in a tone of how bold a person is and how prolific the land is.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry, Dong'an Company is about to treat him as the God of Wealth, their turboprop five is not used much, Yang Feng ordered a hundred units at once, and almost didn't let the business manager draw it, and it is estimated that even their boss can draw it if he buys him a few thousand units in the future.
Not only fighter jets are used. Bombers and transport planes can be used, and even twin demons can be used, think about how crazy the twin demons who are already proud of their speed will be if they replace the engine with more than 1,000 horsepower for 3,000 engines.
In particular, there were bombers, which replaced the four large, drag-heavy air-cooled piston engines of the Liberator with turboprops.
I shudder to think about it, it's not a liberator, it's even more terrifying than the hellfire bird. It is estimated that it is enough to take off from Beiping and bomb Hokkaido directly.
No, it has to be changed! It's not just about changing the engine. The fuselage should also be appropriately enlarged, the fuel tank should be enlarged, the bomb bay should be increased, and at least more than 10 tons of bombs should be carried.
His group of engineers didn't have the good mood of Boss Yang. The two tasks at hand now can be said to be more difficult than the other, and one can imagine how difficult the next few days will be.
They have a headache This is not something Yang Feng needs to consider, there are too many surprises when he comes back this time, which makes his whole person a little radiant, first of all, Germany, France and Britain declared war, which is worth releasing flowers. Of course, for the sake of his own image, he can only put it in his brain, and secondly, the demise of Poland is even more worthy of celebration, and it is a public celebration, anyway, his bad relationship with Poland is known to the world.
As in history, Poland was still divided between Xiaoxi and Joseph, and of course Joseph would not refuse such a good thing, and robbing while it was hot in these years was the king.
The last good news is that his two fiancées have returned to China, and the two have studied in Europe for so many years, because it is relatively safe there, and now Britain, France and Germany have declared war, which means that a world war has begun, and it is obvious that Europe is not yet safe in Beiping.
Of course, there is also bad news, first of all, the bald guy failed in the counterattack on Zhejiang, because of the emergence of the zero war, he was no longer able to fight with the Japanese army with air supremacy, although it did not let the Japanese army seize air supremacy, but the loss of air power is still not small, with the loss of six twin demons and twenty thunders, shoot down fifteen zero battles, in general, a little loss.
The ground counteroffensive suffered a relatively large loss, losing more than 50,000 people, the Japanese army lost more than 20,000, and still firmly controlled the Qiantang River defense line, but the Japanese army's desire to fight was not very high, after the outbreak of the European war, they were bent on taking India, and the goal on the Chinese battlefield was to maintain a defensive position, so they were powerless to retaliate against the provocation of the bald guys, in short, the battle line did not change in the slightest after a bloody battle between the two sides.
The real bad news is that the outbreak of the European war has greatly affected Pingjin's export business, which sounds incredible, but it is real, because whether it is a down jacket or high-end clothing, this can be classified as a luxury product, not to mention daily chemical products, Europeans who have experienced a world war naturally understand very well that if there is really a war, then the first thing to consider is the problem of eating, thrift has become the mainstream, so that the consumption of these things will definitely be reduced.
Especially those who have lost their country by the mustache are more cautious in this regard.
Moreover, a series of failures and the shrinking of the colonies have made the original main sales markets of Britain and France sluggish, and it can be said that except for the United States, where sales are still unaffected, other countries have experienced varying degrees of decline in performance.
"This is just the beginning, if we continue to fight, we will definitely suffer greater losses, now the family business is bigger, there are more things to take care of, as long as the demand for down jackets is reduced by half, I have to use the army to appease those lost duck farmers, Weishan Lake on both sides of the lake alone to do this has to feed millions of people, if there is no market all of a sudden, they can really rebel against us." Han Fuyu said with a sad face.
Only then did Yang Feng realize that he was on the verge of an economic crisis, not only the down industry, but also Zhang Youyi's clothing industry was also facing a cold winter. Her clothing has been using Yang Feng's modern fabrics to take the high-end fashion route, and now she has even begun to use the technology provided by Yang Feng to produce some modern fabrics in small batches. These three things alone occupy half of Pingjin's industry, and if they have problems, it will cause a chain reaction, and if they don't get it right, they will pull Pingjin's economy to the bottom all of a sudden, and then they will have to face millions of unemployed workers, which is terrible!
When Big Boss Yang thought of millions of mouths yelling angrily at him, he felt a little cold sweat, and I believe many people are looking forward to this kind of scene.
No, it's not scientific! Suddenly, he reacted and felt as if he had fallen into a misunderstanding. A world war is supposed to be an opportunity to make a fortune, how can it cause an economic crisis? If you say this, it is estimated that the Americans will spit on themselves.
The problem now is that the development direction of Pingjin's industry has not yet shifted to the wartime system, and it is only thinking about playing peacetime things, without considering that war is the biggest driving force for consumption.
"Brother Xiang Fang, the opportunity to make a fortune has arrived, why are you still worried about not making money? Have you forgotten what those foreigners were doing when you fought with Yu Xuezhong and the others back then? What did you grovel before them then? Now that feng shui is turning, it's time for us to take a handful. Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.
"You mean to make arms and sell them?" Han Fuyu's eyes lit up immediately.
"It's not just arms. We can make everything related to the war, and Shandong has iron ore. There are big iron mines in Jinling and Laiwu, as long as you build a steel plant, then you will wait to collect the money! If you don't have a duck to live, you can dig iron ore! Building power plants, building roads, and opening coal mines doesn't need people? Anyway, Shandong is your territory. What do you keep all the money you have earned over the years? As far as your current savings are not spent by your children and grandchildren in a few lifetimes, take them out and invest them into enterprises, and then you still have soldiers in your hands, and the people have to depend on you from the economy to Zhengzhi, and your Han family is not just like an emperor in Shandong.
Controlled both people and territory. Then follow those foreign kings to learn, and let the people choose to be officials by themselves, anyway, whoever is the official is the king of Shandong. Yang Feng said.
Han Fuyu grinned.
He was not the only one who needed to solve this problem, and soon a large-scale economic conference gathering all the warlord capitalists in North China and even Sichuan, including Sichuan, was held in Beiping, which wanted to completely correct the deformed industrial development that had completely depended on him before, and let China's industry officially embark on the road of benign development.
"There is only one goal for the next step, to build factories, to build all the factories related to the war, and I can tell you responsibly that a real world war is about to begin, and this war will be much larger than the First World War, and it will not stop for at least five years, and of course even if we want to stop, we will let it continue." Boss Yang took the speech and said like a leader in a meeting.
His last sentence immediately caused a heartfelt laugh below.
"First, steel, Shandong, Hebei, there are large iron mines, we must build at least three large steel plants with an annual output of one million tons, don't worry about sales, then you only need to worry about the output.
Based on steel factories, automobile factories, tank factories, arsenals, and even shipyards, our goal is to make those ghosts kill rivers of blood with Chinese-made munitions. Yang Feng roared excitedly.
"In addition to steel, the second is aluminum, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong have aluminum mines, especially Shanxi, not only aluminum mines but also inexhaustible coal, build a few more large thermal power plants, engage in electrolytic aluminum processing, in addition to I will build an aviation aluminum production base in Beiping, when the time comes, we will not only sell cars, tanks, but also large-scale to sell planes.
Our aircraft can not be produced in Beiping and Chongqing in the future, you can join in if you are interested in this area, large parts can not be built, small parts can still be made! Even some unimportant parts can be divided into those small workshops to do, just like many parts of the thunder as long as there is aluminum, ordinary lathes can be processed, who of you outside the factory, there are not a few small workshops doing odd jobs?
In addition to airplanes, there are other non-ferrous metals, which are all good things, why are the Germans good with us, don't they rush at our tungsten sand? In addition to tungsten sand, there are good things in our country, such as nickel ore in Gansu, molybdenum ore in western Liaoning and Henan, which are all necessary for military production.
Other magnesium ore, manganese ore can also be said to have everything, the development of steel and aluminum industry needs us are not lacking, there are these good conditions, there are such good opportunities, to miss it is a crime. Yang Feng said.
"But now that we're still in the war with Japan, what if they don't let us ship things out?" Zhang Youyi asked.
A gang of warlords laughed wickedly.
"Then hit until they agree to let us go out!" Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.
In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve, now the strategic focus of the Japanese is Southeast Asia, in China for so many years, not only suffered heavy losses, but also did not get any benefits, although Guangdong and Fujian and Zhejiang are rich, but the problem is that there are no resources, especially the steel, oil, and coal they need the most, and it is too dangerous to be an industrial base, at most grab some food.
But Southeast Asia is different, it is simply a huge profit, Vietnam has big coal mines, Borneo has enough oil, if India is even iron ore, if you are bold and even Australia can get it, then what do you want.
Therefore, in this case, if they are given enough military pressure, there is no problem for China and Japan to make peace, and then China can make war money in peace and stability, if the Japanese are not happy in this way, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless, communicate with Roosevelt, let the US Army Air Force get thousands of Liberators to be stationed in Beiping for a long time, and then accompany the Mustang escort, one day when you see that the Japanese are not pleasing to the eye, just say a word, bomb!
Now that the security of the north has been guaranteed sufficiently, the Japanese absolutely do not dare to make a move against North China, and in Shanxi, Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe, Shandong, Hebei, these places, as long as they dare to move, they will blow them up, and if napalm does not work, they will play with cloud burst bombs, and sooner or later they will blow them up to the point that they have no temper, and they will cry and shout to find themselves and beg for mercy.
It is said that the advent of the cloud burst bomb has changed the whole person of Boss Yang, and now he is like a male dog in excitement, who dares to touch him, there is only one word in his head, explosion! (To be continued......)
PS: Let's do these today.,Tomorrow and then resume the double watch.,Today I sorted out the idea of rising.,It's terrifying to have a strong seven hundred collections a week.
