Regarding the armistice agreement between the Northeast and Vladivostok, the parties agreed as follows:

Russian side

1: The sovereignty of the Middle East Road belongs to the Northeast of the Republic of China

2: Vladivostok will be opened as a treaty port, and the Russian side shall not increase taxes on goods exported from Northeast China in any name, so as to increase the burden on merchants in Northeast China.

3: Vladivostok paid an indemnity of 35 million US dollars as compensation for the military expenses of the Northeast Army and local economic losses. The compensation will be paid 15 million yuan in the first year, and the rest will be pledged by the assets of Daosheng & Co. in China, which will be paid in three years at an annual interest rate of 6%.

4: Russian soldiers are not allowed to enter the territory of the Republic of China under any name without permission, and those who violate it will be deemed to have broken the agreement and are not allowed to restart the war under any name.

China (Northeast)

1: As soon as the agreement is reached, the northeast will immediately withdraw its troops, and within ten days the troops will withdraw to the territory of Heilongjiang and stop all attacks on the Russian army.

2: Release Russian prisoners of war in the northeast and assist the Russian side to restore its armed strength to maintain local law and order.

3: The Northeast has the obligation to assist the Russian side in jointly resisting the eastward invasion of the Soviet power.

4: Northeast China assists the Russian side in building up its air force in Vladivostok.

"Rokhail, if you don't have any opinions, let's sign and exchange letters." Bi Guifang, who is proficient in Russian affairs, looked at the white Russians with a smile on his head, which was a little bald and his nose was red, and he had dealt with the Russians for many years, and it was the first time for Bi Guifang to sit at the negotiating table so comfortably and face the foreigners, and the foreigners on the other side were still former powers.

And Chen Youren, as the deputy of this negotiation, is also full of emotion in his heart, if he can, who is not willing to appear at the negotiation table with such a posture.

Rokhail was silent, silently signed the exchange of letters, and shook hands with Bi Guifang. As one of the very few people who lost Russia's interests at the negotiating table, Rokhail's mood naturally would not be much better.

"Finally signed the agreement, we can be regarded as having an explanation to the marshal." Holding the Russian exchange of letters, Bi Guifang couldn't put it down and watched it over and over again, and her face bloomed with joy. "Tomohito. The marshal is very important to you, and you have no other opinion in your heart about this negotiation. ”

"It's worth the trip, the grace of the handsome encounter is difficult to repay." Chen Youren said briefly, his tone was very calm, but the excited eyes that looked at the agreement betrayed his inner thoughts.

"There are also Seminov's people waiting for us to talk, and the Japanese are urging them as if they have won a battle." Speaking of the Japanese. Bi Guifang and the others present did not have a good impression.

"Seminov mortgaged the Trans-Siberian Railway west of the Heilongjiang River to Japan for a loan, and in order to gain control of the railway, the Japanese naturally had to be more anxious than us." Chen Youren smiled coldly, "Since the Japanese are anxious, we may be able to knock on the Japanese bamboo pole more from the negotiation table." ”

"This battle is really good, not only did it show the prestige of the Northeast Army, but the benefits obtained were almost equivalent to the income of the three eastern provinces for a year." Bi Guifang pinched her beard, her face full of joy.

There was a burst of firecrackers. As Zhang Jinhong, the owner of Liaohe Civil Aviation Company, cut the ribbon for the first real civil aviation passenger plane, a passenger plane with a capacity of 12 people showed a huge posture to the audience.

Some gentry who have never flown in a plane. The businessmen looked at the novelty in front of them with novelty, although it was not once or twice that they had seen airplanes in the sky above Fengtian City, but the aviation department was a military aircraft, and the officers of ordinary infantry divisions could not see it, let alone these ordinary people, it was their first time to have such a close encounter with an airplane. See these woods. It's amazing that something made up of steel parts can carry people into the sky.

"Can this thing really fly into the sky? It's just a piece of wood, and it won't fall off, right? ”

"How can this kind of aircraft be successfully developed after countless experiments, and it has already been tested for a long time." Zhang Jinhong said with a smile. "I know you have this suspicion, but luckily I've been prepared, ponies, please come over our warriors!"

"Okay!" A quick-witted young man made a quick call, and a short time later, a transport truck drove from the airport road. Above are eight soldiers in blue-gray military uniforms.

When the whistle sounded, the others had already stepped aside.

"Get out of the car!" Squad Leader Liu gave an order, and then Squad Leader Liu and the other 7 soldiers jumped down one after another, quickly lined up, and trotted all the way to the side of the plane. The action is simple and concise.

"Squad Leader Liu, it's hard for you to show it on the plane." Zhang Jinhong warmly shook squad leader Liu's hand and said.

"No need, Mr. Zhang, there's nothing else to do, we'll get on the plane." Squad leader Liu is concise and clear.

"Okay, okay." Zhang Jinhong nodded again and again.

"Tsk, you can actually invite soldiers over to advertise, Boss Zhang, your energy is not small." Some people next to him widened their eyes, when they were still in the old army, they paid some money to invite those bitter and hard-working troops, but they were captured, and it was impossible to expect them to do much if they didn't keep it. However, since Qin Yu was in charge of the military and political affairs of Fengtian, the soldiers began to be professional, and it was impossible to pay the soldiers to do things for them. Because the figure of soldiers in the streets and alleys is no longer as common as before, even if some soldiers do odd jobs outside, they will not use the name of the army.

"Where is my energy, is the municipal government has a lot of support for enterprises, Zhilu Dao Airlines will have some difficulties in the early stage of its establishment, so I specially applied to the army for half a class of soldiers to help me solve the difficulties." Zhang Jinhong smiled happily, "Ordinary people don't have the courage to say all the good things they have said, where are these soldiers, they are straightforward, and they don't give me a chance." ”

"That's right, our soldiers were killed in a hail of bullets, and a plane is nothing." At this time, the people in the Northeast looked at the soldiers in the army differently. Especially after the Middle East Road War, these people had a great feeling of raising their eyebrows, and they felt very cordial when they saw these soldiers at this time.

As the soldiers boarded, the first truly fully enclosed aircraft in the northeast taxied at the airport for a period of time and flew into the blue sky. Everyone's eyes were on the planes moving in the sky, and it took a long time to come to their senses. In the past, when I saw these small dots in the sky, I only felt that it was very novel, but now I saw the whole process of its take-off with my own eyes, and I felt more real.

"The speed of this passenger plane is 153 kilometers per hour, and the straight-line distance from our Fengtian City to Taonan is 404 kilometers, which means that it only takes more than 2 hours and 40 minutes to take a plane from Fengtian to Taonan. Now there is no direct train from Fengtian to Taonan, after taking the train to Changchun, you have to drive hundreds of miles to reach Taonan. Running all the way, time-consuming and labor-intensive, just rushing to spend more than two days, there can not be many stops in the middle, but take a plane, go to Taonan in the morning, and you can take a plane back in the afternoon, which is convenient. Fast..."As the plane hovered in the air, Zhang Jinhong stirred his three-inch-long tongue to explain the advantages of taking the plane to the people around him as much as possible.

Although the price of air tickets is daunting to ordinary people. But in the early days, airplanes were destined to be provided for those who came from well-to-do families and traded. For those who are rich, spending a few dozen yuan to buy a plane ticket and going back and forth between Fengtian and Taonan is not a big deal. There are so many people in Fengtian and Taonan City, and there are always some people who are in a hurry.

"It seems that this small civil aviation company has been set up." In a manor near the airport, Qin Yu handed the telescope to Wang Yuhai next to him. Picking up the wine handed over by Yelilina next to him, he couldn't help but smile.

"You, it's hard to come out for a day, and you have to care about this kind of thing, it's really boring." Zhou Yingxue pouted.

"Isn't that by the way?" Qin Yu smiled. You really can't blame Zhou Yingxue for this, looking at the achievements of the Northeast from time to time has almost become a habit for Qin Yu. Although Liaohe Civil Aviation has only bought two passenger planes to test the waters, it can be regarded as a major breakthrough in the history of aviation in Northeast China. The fully enclosed cabin laid the foundation for the larger manned passenger aircraft in the future, and there are many aspects of the design of this passenger aircraft that are worthy of recognition. In addition, promoting the commercialization of aircraft manufacturing will also play a significant role in promoting the development of Northeast Airlines in the future.

The development of civil aviation, as well as the establishment of civilian airports, during the war years, can also be quickly used for military purposes, and the training of pilots can also be quickly converted into fighter planes, or bomber pilots. It can also be regarded as a reserve of military strength, and the rise of civil aviation also represents the growth of the aircraft industry. In wartime, civil aircraft factories can also be converted into fighter aircraft factories.

It was always easy to spend a leisurely time, and the next day, under the escort of the guards, several small cars drove into the Aomine Engine Factory one after another.

Inside the Aomine Engine Factory, a group of designers surrounded something that looked strange to outsiders, and their eyes lit up.

Among them, Ye Qing and Guo Yufeng, who were at the front of the crowd, were obviously thinner than when Liuyang came back.

"Referring to the design of the engines of several fighter jets, I finally got this thing out." There is still some oil stain on the newly built engine, but Guo Yufeng, who is wearing gloves on his hands, is like a treasure, he doesn't feel dirty at all, and gently strokes the charming lines and corners on it.

"Although the new free engine from the Flying Eagle Company is powerful, it is slightly larger and less explosive, so it is not suitable for being a power engine for fighters." Guo Yufeng looked at the core power of the brand-new fighter now, "Qingfeng No. 1 came out, and our fighter in the northeast can be regarded as having its own heart." ”

At the same time, Qin Yu and several aircraft designers such as Ba Yuzao came to the core laboratory of the engine factory under the leadership of the factory host Ma Qiang.

"When will this Qingfeng No. 1 you make be installed on your own plane in the Northeast?" Qin Yu looked at the engine in front of him with great interest, these high-achieving students who returned from studying abroad were really angry, and they had only been back for more than a year, and they had actually made the things in front of them come out.

"After several times of coordination between the inferior and the people of the engine factory, the design of both sides has been changed I don't know how many times, and Qingfeng No. 1 is technically speaking. Compared to the Espino, which is particularly suitable for use in fighter jets. The Siza engine is still inferior, but it is not much worse than the engine used in Wolf Smoke, and the power of 168 horsepower is also relatively strong, but the new model developed by using Aomine 1 is not much stronger than the current Wolf Smoke, so it is recommended to be humble. As a fighter with very reliable stability, Wolf Smoke should not use Aomine-1 as the engine of the new fighter for the time being until a new engine is developed. Wang Zhu said truthfully.

"That's a pity." Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Dashuai rest assured, the Qingfeng No. 1 engine is just the beginning, the factory has invested a lot in the design and improvement of the engine, and sooner or later it will be able to manufacture a more advanced engine, and the fighter in the Northeast will soon have its own heart." Ma Li swears that it is authentic.

"Well, no matter what, Qingfeng 1 is a major breakthrough in the aviation history of the Republic of China. What is the current output of the factory? Qin Yu nodded. Even if this kind of engine cannot be widely used, the performance of Aomine No. 1 is only slightly inferior to the power engine of the active fighters of the great powers, and compared with those diesel engines and gasoline engines that can only imitate dozens of horsepower in Kannai, Aomine No. 1 has epoch-making significance.

"At present, the factory mainly produces Wolf Smoke and Beacon engines, with an output of 13 and 52 respectively. However, the number of aircraft manufactured by the aircraft factory is not large, and the production capacity of the engine factory has not been fully utilized. At present, the main business is the engine manufacturing business of the automobile factory. On the other hand, the plant is intensifying the design and improvement of new aero engines, and is striving to continuously develop new technologies. ”

Ma Qiang told Qin Yu about the current situation in the factory, as the earliest engine factory in Northeast China, it was originally established for the fighters in Northeast China, after the Northeast Aviation Department reached a certain scale. The production of bombers and fighters has plummeted, and the remaining production capacity of engines has nowhere to be played. And the car is no better than the aircraft used for military purposes at this time, civilian, military, commercial can be. Compared with the increasing transportation needs in the Northeast at this time, the automobile engine will not become obsolete for the time being.

At this time, the total number of cars and trucks in the Northeast had just exceeded 10,000, and most of the rest were bought from the United States, except for the transport trucks purchased from Germany in the early days. After the completion of the automobile factory, it can temporarily meet the transportation needs of the Northeast. Nearly 10,000 engines are not the production capacity that the automobile factory can have at this time.

"In addition to aero engines, tank engines are also the focus of the factory, and the Northeast must build its own tanks." After reading everything in the engine factory, Qin Yu was very satisfied with the overall progress. As for the research and development of the tank, it has been going on for a while, and it will take some effort to really build the tank, but there is a certain foundation for it.

"Marshal, the Japanese consul Kawashima Shun asked to meet with you, saying that there is something very important to discuss." Arriving at the gate of the engine factory, Wang Yuhai whispered.

"Yes, it's not for the construction of the railway." Qin Yu touched his chin, Japan's Nanman Road, which was a pillar of Japan's resistance, is now in danger of being marginalized, with Japan's previous policy, controlling the railway construction rights in the Northeast, with the railway as the center, the influence will gradually radiate to the Northeast, and then achieve the goal of controlling the Northeast, Qin Yu is laying the roadbed and building the railway in the Northeast with great fanfare at this time, this move undoubtedly Japan's nerves.

"Okay, let him go to my office and wait for two hours before he talks, if he always disagrees with me, let him have some time first, let him recognize himself clearly."

"Dashuai, why did you get here one step ahead of your humble position." When Qin Yu finished reading it, Chen Ruqin hurriedly came, and when he saw Qin Yu, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Just by the way, just come over and take a look, the progress of the engine factory is not bad, you can coordinate the ordnance in the Northeast, you don't have to run around like before, do it yourself, things can't be done." Seeing that Chen Ruqin's sideburns were only in his forties, white hair appeared, Qin Yu persuaded him.

"The engine factory is related to the most advanced weapons manufacturing in Northeast China, and I always feel a little uneasy if I don't see it with my own eyes." Chen Ruqin smiled and said.

"How's the copy of the mortar going at the gun factory?" Qin Yu asked.

"A batch of sample guns has been trial-produced, but after the test firing, the performance is not ideal, and the gun factory has made some changes on the basis of the original, and a new batch of sample guns will come out next month." Chen Ruqin smiled bitterly, "It is not difficult to make it according to the standards of the current powers, but it is really difficult to reduce the weight to the standard of the great marshal." ”

"If there is difficulty, design a few more times, you can't always follow the idea of foreigners, a mortar weighs four or five hundred pounds, it is better to directly use a flat-fire gun or a 75MM mountain gun." At this time, the mortar is still very inconvenient to move, and it has been widely used in Europe, that is because it is necessary to strike at the enemy in the enemy trenches, and this kind of curved artillery is needed, and the European transportation base is good, and the transportation is convenient, the 105MM gun can not be regarded as a heavy artillery, and the mortar of several hundred catties can also be regarded as relatively small, although the northeast at this time has greatly improved the traffic conditions, and the customs are not at the same level, but compared with Europe, there is still a considerable distance.

With the current equipment of the Northeast Army, it is enough to face the immediate threat, but there is no need to rush to equip those flashy mortars, and with all the spare money, it is better to expand the establishment of the divisional artillery regiment at this time.

"By the way, Dashuai, about the construction of large-caliber naval guns, the existing equipment of the artillery factory does not have this ability, the large-tonnage hydraulic forging machine at the Yingkou shipyard is used for shipbuilding, and the artillery factory will also increase its own equipment, Dashuai, you see?"

"So that's the case, you list the machinery you want to buy, I'll take a look, and then let the Finance Department allocate funds." QIN YU NODDED AND SAID, ACCORDING TO THE DESIGN DRAWINGS OF THE LARGE-CALIBER NAVAL GUNS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY BRIBED FROM TSARIST RUSSIA, IT IS NOT A BIG PROBLEM TO BUILD 305MM AND CANNON CANNONS, WHAT IS MISSING IS ONLY THE EQUIPMENT AND THE CORRESPONDING EXPERIENCE ACCUMULATED BY THE GUN FACTORY.
