"Wang Fengxiang, Du Yuyuan, Guan Zhongming, Ha Luha, you are all here!" Zhao Yunpeng strode forward and looked at a group of classmates from the capital.

"The world is impermanent, I think He Yingdong persuaded us to come to Fengtian City, but we didn't expect to come uninvited now." Guan Zhongming said helplessly.

"The president wants to be the emperor, who would have thought of this, but if I want to say, it's better to stay in Mukden and do things happily, maybe there will be a chance to fight the Japanese army this time." Thinking of being able to fly a plane to drop a bomb on the head of the Japanese army, Zhao Yunpeng looked excited. "If you want to say that this Fengtian City is really not wrong, the Italian-made Ca30 bomber, there is also a heavy machine gun on it, and the bullets are swept down, and a large piece of it is not comparable to the pigeon machine and the trainer function in Nanyuan."

"What, an Italian-made Ca30 bomber, Mukden actually has such a thing?" Guan Zhongming couldn't help but be horrified, this was one of the most advanced bombers in the world so far.

Italy's Caproni bombers were very active in the European War, once through the Alps to bomb the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and later bombed the Auridad coast, Ljubl Brjana. Air assault on the rear command of the Austrian army. Several air raids were very successful, and among the various bombers in Europe, the Caproni fighter also ranked extremely high. It would not be too much to call Italy the leader of the bombing at this time. The CA30 also gained fame for several successful bombings.

"Let's go, let's take a look, no wonder Principal Qin also recommended us to come to Fengtian, this trip is really not wrong." Compared with Guan Zhongming, Du Yuyuan was more anxious.

"Why didn't He Yingdong come, wouldn't it be that they look down on our classmates in Nanyuan now that they are getting along well?"

"Why, they went to Yingkou to receive a batch of new planes. I heard that it was an American product, so I went there yesterday, and I should arrive today. Du Baoming's guys also went, my course happened to be these days, I couldn't leave, and those guys were cheap. Zhao Yunpeng was a little depressed. I heard that the planes from the United States were not much worse than the Italian-made Caproni, and it was naturally a good feeling to be the first to fly the planes.

"Mukden is buying planes again?" Du Yuyuan was surprised.

"Yes, Fengtian's determination to develop aviation is even stronger than that of the central government, and our former president will have to spend at least tens of millions to ascend the throne, tsk, it's enough to buy thousands of planes." As a student with new ideas, most of them don't have a good opinion about Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor.

"If it weren't for that, Principal Qin wouldn't have suggested that we come to Mukden. Now most of the planes have been unable to take off because of mechanical failures and lack of replaceable parts, and the new batch of students will graduate and I don't know what year and month it will take. Guan Zhongming sighed, as a brand-new instrument, most of the first batch of students who entered Nanyuan had the idea of aviation saving the country. It's just that this idea was ruthlessly smashed by the imperial system.

"Hum..."A familiar roar swept through the sky, six squads. Three per squad.

"Ha Luha, here it is! Let's hurry back to the airport and see what planes we have bought. Zhao Yunpeng smiled happily.

"Eighteen!" The group of people from Nanyuan were shocked when they saw the black dots in the sky, and there were only four or five planes that could fly in the entire Nanyuan now. And Mukden's side has reached such an astonishing number just this time.

When Zhao Yunpeng and others rushed to the airport. Du Baoming had already taken off his leather jacket and was judging the newcomers one by one.

"Du boy, how is this big guy?" Zhao Yunpeng and the others are okay, they have seen Caproni before, but they were a little surprised by this new guy. It's even bigger than Caproni. However, the reaction of Du Yuyuan and others was a little different. Not to mention the giant-like body shape of the Condor bomber, compared to it, the pigeon is like a small one. There were no less than forty planes parked at the airport alone, and such a scale was enough to shock the hearts of the second group of people from Nanyuan, needless to mention.

"Not bad, not much better maneuverability than the Ca30 bomber, but it's so much bigger, and it has one more engine than the Caproni. It can carry 932 kg of bombs, and can carry nearly twice as many bombs as Caproni, and is also equipped with 3 Browning heavy machine guns, which have powerful firepower, but the structure is slightly complicated, and it is cumbersome to maintain, but this is the trouble for the pilots. After speaking, Du Baoming smiled.

"You are content, you really don't know the blessing in the blessing, we don't even have a plane in Beijing, you have already driven this kind of bomber that is the most selected aircraft in the world, and you are still picking." Wang Fengxiang said angrily.

"That's what you're talking about, the problem is picked out, as long as the problem is found, the problem can be solved and the aircraft become more advanced." Du Baoming shook his head, he didn't stay in Mukden for a long time, but his thinking changed very quickly.

"Making airplanes more advanced? It's not like building your own planes. Wang Fengxiang said.

"How do you know that Lu Dao Fengtian doesn't build his own plane?" He Yingdong said with a smile, "With this plane, there are also high-achieving students who graduated from universities in the United States, who participated in the design and manufacture of this kind of aircraft, and brought back a lot of equipment from the United States this time, but they didn't come by plane, and they will probably arrive in Fengtian City tomorrow, and Fengtian will be able to make its own aircraft by then." ”

"Build your own plane?" The batch of aviation school graduates who came today looked at each other.

"Is it true?"

"Of course, I can't fake it, and even dozens of engines have been bought. Only then did he unload the goods from Yingkou, and if he didn't build an airplane, he couldn't smash those iron lumps and sell them as scrap iron. Du Baoming said.

"Dashuai, the plane has arrived in Fengtian City, and the tank is already in Yingkou, and it will arrive tonight." When a group of pilots at the airport were cheering, Qin Yu sat on the car on the edge of the airport, looking at the neatly arranged planes in the airport, the airport in front of him could be called the largest airport in Asia at this time. The strength of guarding this place alone is as large as an infantry regiment.

Ding Cheng reported to Qin Yu on the latest developments in arms shipments.

"Well, it seems that Zhang Shun still has some energy in the United States. I got things to Mukden City so quickly. "The original plan took at least more than ten days. I didn't expect that it would take only nine days to pull the goods to Yingkou, and I am afraid that the ship used will be much faster than ordinary freighters.

"Zhang Shun must also have some understanding of the situation in Fengtian, and if he wants to fight with the Japanese, Zhang Shun is afraid that he will not be in a hurry." Ding Cheng said with a smile, but 54 tanks and 18 bombers together don't weigh much. A small and medium-sized freighter can be pulled to Yingkou at one time.

"Okay, with these guys, even if you fight the Japanese army head-on, you don't have to be afraid of anything." With the arrival of these planes and tanks in Mukden, the stone in Qin Yu's heart was put down a lot.

"Marshal, can these planes, as well as the tanks in the back, really play such a big role?" Ding Cheng's tone was a little unconvinced.

"I don't know about the tanks, but don't underestimate them. In a head-on battle, even a division of Japanese troops will be blown up alive. "There are thirty Caproni and Condor combined, if the firepower is concentrated on one division, even the Japanese army will not be able to withstand such a bombing density, but the bombers are by no means as simple as simply bombing the infantry, and the bombardment of the Japanese artillery positions will play a decisive role in the entire battlefield. At this time, if you want to say that the Feng army is inferior to the Japanese army, in addition to the poor quality of the newly recruited soldiers, the biggest shortcoming is the lack of artillery. As long as there was such a group of aircraft in the air, the Japanese artillery suffered heavy losses. Even if you fire, you will inevitably be afraid of being discovered by the heavenly swarm. The gap in artillery fire was leveled, and no matter how powerful the Japanese army was, it was just a group of ordinary soldiers with relatively high shooting accuracy. If you want to pass through the combined fire of the machine guns, rifles and artillery, the casualties will be terrible.

As for those tanks, they were still accustomed to pig assault tactics at this time. For the Japanese troops who are constantly charging in groups, those steel monsters will be their nightmare. It's just that the tank is a cutting-edge weapon, and of course Qin Yu will not reveal its terrifyingness. The choice to drive the tank to Mukden City at night was also to avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese as much as possible.

"Things are good, but they're more expensive. Tsk, this time we had an awkward fight with the Japanese, we are really bleeding. "The 54 tanks alone plus the freight cost amounted to a huge cost of 3 million yuan, and the 18 Condor bombers added up to more than 500,000 yuan, which together is nearly 4 million, not counting the 50,000 American-made water rifles and more than 100 artillery pieces ordered later. Adding up to the front and back, thousands of them are indispensable. Counting the last arms purchases and the cost of military expansion, it is an astronomical amount.

"When this problem comes, Governor Tian will have to trouble me again, so don't block me now." Qin Yu pressed his forehead, the profits of these arms were amazing, and for Qin Yu, it was just a price that was a little higher than the cost. It's just that the money from the Fengtian Provincial Treasury was used to purchase arms, and most of the money earned went into Qin Yu's private pockets, after all, the vast majority of the shares of the United Arms Company were in the hands of Qin Yu and Zhang Shun. However, the taxes paid by the Benxi Iron and Steel Plant are so high that it will not take three years to flatten this expenditure.

Although waiting until after the First World War to buy arms would be staggeringly cheap. It seems that the price paid at this time is high, but having a huge military force at this time will be of great help to Qin Yu to control the three eastern provinces in advance. With the anti-imperialist sentiment in the country and the unsuccessful offensive in Sichuan, Yuan Shikai's prestige is declining, and if he controls the three eastern provinces one day earlier, he will be able to control the finances of the northeast earlier.

"By the way, did the tank mechanic come along?" Qin Yu suddenly remembered this incident, the failure rate of the tank in the initial stage was amazingly high. There is no maintenance technician who can't play with that thing.

"I've already come over, it's some Chinese in the United States, and I've returned to China after the Arsenal Society." Ding Cheng nodded, the Blackjack Group was single-handedly promoted by Qin Yu, and it was natural to take care of overseas Chinese secretly.

"Well, people have come back from thousands of miles, and they can't be treated badly."

"Dashuai!" Zhao Yunpeng. He Yingdong, Du Baoming, and Chen Rulin looked at the young Qin Yu in front of them with excitement and a hint of admiration.

"I heard that you are the best among the pilots in terms of skills and other comprehensive qualities, tell me what you think of the current aviation in Mukden." Qin Yu stood in front of a row of several people with his hands behind his back.

"Great. I heard that an aircraft factory is going to be built, is this true? Zhao Yunpeng asked.

"It's true, there are a few international students from the United States, who have experience working in aircraft factories, and they spent more than 800,000 yuan just to buy engines and make equipment. It won't be until next year that you will have the opportunity to fly an airplane of Mukden's own making. Qin Yu nodded, saying that he made it himself. In fact, most of the parts, as well as the core engine, are purchased from the United States. However, the United Arms Company has begun to negotiate with Rolls-Royce Engine Company for the production of two engines, and if the United Arms Company meets, it is equivalent to the Fengtian side. In terms of engine manufacturing technology, Rolls-Royce is the top in the world. Because the Germans did not have many colonies and their navy was not as good as that of the British, they considered using chemical synthesis technology to synthesize some necessary industrial raw materials, which also made Germany's chemical technology unique in the world at this time. But Britain still had a strength not inferior to Germany in mechanical engineering at this time.

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Zhao Yunpeng and the others were excited.

"Great. I feel that our airport in Mukden is too big, and forty planes are placed in one airport, although it is conducive to unified protection, but eggs cannot be put in one basket, and when they are put together, they are easy to be monitored by the Japanese army. "He Yingdongdao.

"Hmm. As for the construction of the new airport and the selection of the site, it will be left to you to discuss, and the location can be Mukden City, or other cities, the entire Mukden Province. It shouldn't just be Mukden City with an airport. Qin Yu nodded, in the future, the Japanese army will inevitably be equipped with a large number of fighters, and if the planes are placed in one airport, it is indeed possible that they will be wiped out by the enemy.

"Marshal, I heard that there have been planes in Europe that specialize in reconnoitring the enemy's situation, and our Condor bombers, as well as the Italian-made Ca30, are too large and slower, which is not conducive to quickly conveying the enemy's situation.

"Yes, very good. With the development of spacecraft in the future, the functions of aircraft will inevitably become more and more, and the classification will become more and more detailed. It is the general trend to develop different types of aircraft for various functions, such as reconnaissance, combat, bombing, or transport, trainer, or other functions in the future, so your opinion on what kind of aircraft the aircraft manufacturer should make, is very important. "Although these young eagles don't have much contact with airplanes, they have to give them this awareness.

"At present, the aviation arm has become a technical arm that can determine the outcome of a war in the European theater. Airplanes can bomb enemy soldiers and artillery on the battlefield. It can destroy the enemy's logistics, and further afield, it can blow up enemy arsenals, transport ports, and even warships. At present, the range of the aircraft is limited, but it can already take care of the whole territory of Fengtian, and when the aircraft that can fly faster and have a longer range are built in the future, the area that can be radiated will be wider. The role that the air force can play will become greater and greater, and Mukden will inevitably have more planes, airfields, and as for the generals, they will be selected from your group of pilots. In the past, when I led the troops, whoever had the ability would be on the list, and the same would be true for the Air Force, and whoever had good skills and strong command ability would be the commander. ”

"For the aviation arms, I plan to set up three flying squads first, each with ten bombers and one captain. Three aviation squads were merged into a single flying squadron. As for the position of squad leader and squadron leader, you need to compete for it yourself, in order to build the air force, before and after, plus the establishment of an aircraft factory, training pilots, ground crew, and airport facilities, the money spent before and after to buy rifles is enough to equip two infantry divisions, I hope you tell me with your own actions, and tell me with the role you play that my choice is not wrong! ”

"The humble rank will live up to the high expectations of the commander!" He Yingdong and others said loudly at the same time.

"Okay, I'm waiting for the moment when you will be famous on the battlefield and go down in history." Qin Yu nodded, and the bombers were separately divided into combat units, and the remaining trainers were set up as a military aviation school.

When he returned to the office, Li Yinpei was already waiting there.

"Come in and speak, Ma Zhanshan has been promoted to the commander of the main division of the 27th Division, although your military position is now a small one, it is just a false title, there are no complaints in your heart, right?" Qin Yu sat down with a smile.

"It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders! I dare not complain!" Li Yinpei is in a positive way.

"It's normal to have complaints, you and Ma Zhanshan are people I am more optimistic about, a new batch of weapons came from the United States, you will know Lu Dao when you see it tonight, together with 54 tanks, organized into 1 tank regiment, under the jurisdiction of 3 tank battalions, each battalion of 18 tanks. You go to be the commander of this regiment, don't underestimate this regiment commander, once this new weapon charges, it will be easy to directly tear apart the defense of the division! Raising this regiment is worth the cost of a division. "Qin Yudao, Li Yinpei is only in his early thirties now, and he is considered a young Zhuang officer in the Feng army, Li Yinpei has a certain education, has a broad vision, and has a strong ability to accept, so it is most suitable for him to lead this new army.

"Yes, Dashuai!" Li Yinpei didn't know what kind of weapon Lu Dao made Qin Yu say so cautiously, but he let a major general be the commander of this regiment, which shows that Qin Yu attaches great importance to it. Equipping a regiment is as good as a division, and Li Yinpei really wants to see what kind of regiment this is as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
