Chapter 227: Storm No. 1
Heilongjiang, Qiqihar, it was a cold winter, the first snow at the beginning of the Republic of China in the beginning of 6 years had not yet come, and the soil was frosted as hard as iron.
"Outside, outside, the first 10,000-ton ship in Fengtian will be launched for sea trials in March this year."
"Outside, Jilin will open a slender Hama Road in the spring of next year, recruit a large number of foreign workers, start from 2 yuan a month, manage food and housing, and require strong men over 16 years old!"
"In addition, the Jilin Provincial Government wants to raise funds to build a thermal power station in Changchun, and it is open to foreign investment..."
There were not many pedestrians on the dry and cold streets, and the young man who sold the newspaper wore a black dogskin hat, shouted hard, and shouted with white breath on his lips when he spoke.
"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns!"
"Scissors, steel needles, fires, cigarettes..."
In addition to me, who sells newspapers, there are also some other merchants who carry their burdens and walk the streets and alleys, and sell some things to subsidize their families.
"What? Slender Hama Road monthly salary of 2 yuan? A few laborers in black robes and jackets, with their hands crossed into their left and right sleeves, heard the shouts of the newspaper sellers and couldn't help but come over.
"Zhang Guang, Yang Pole, you don't know a few big words, don't get in my way." The newspaper seller was a little impatient and urged a few laborers who came up.
"What's wrong with my lack of culture, anyway, I just heard that Jilin is going to repair the road, 2 yuan a month, and food and shelter, Lao Tzu will go to Jilin." The man who was called Zhang Guang was from Shanxi, and the two brothers came to Kanto to live together, and the elder brother was hungry and cold in the east the year before last, and he couldn't stand it and froze to death. Living a life of having a meal without a meal, this will be a little blue from the cold, and it should be that I haven't eaten much. It's going to be a stumbling hole.
"Okay, okay, I'll be a bit of virtue, you are poor and want to eat and die to save face, and go all the way to the east along the railway. When you arrive in Harbin, I heard that there are recruiters over there, you quickly sell something and exchange it for some food, don't starve to death on the road and no one will collect the corpse, and if you are late and don't recruit people, you have no place to cry. The newspaper seller was obviously hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and mentioned the other party.
"There is such a good thing, why don't you go, how much money can you make by selling a newspaper all day long?" Yang Gongzi asked.
". If it weren't for my mother's illness and someone to take care of me, I would have gone to Harbin a long time ago. Xiao Jianbing squeezed the two apart and continued to shout forward.
"Newspaper seller, bring me a newspaper." Behind him, a dignified-looking middle-aged man called Xiao Jianbing.
"Yo, it turned out to be Steward Ma, such a cold day. How do you always come out and buy things yourself? When Xiao Jianbing saw Ma Shiwei, he hurriedly smiled flatteringly.
"How. Whoever stipulates that I can't come out when it's cold. Ma Shiwei glared at Xiao Jianbing.
"Small mouth, small mouth." Xiao Jianbing slapped himself in the mouth and said with a smile. The housekeeper in the marshal's mansion is naturally not something he can offend.
Ma Shiwei smiled nondeniably, took the newspaper and walked forward, the weather was too cold. It's not far away, and there's no horseback riding.
"Steward Ma, you're back." The guard at the door greeted.
"Well, the marshal is still in the house, right?" Ma Shiwei asked.
"I haven't been out for the past two days. A Japanese came over to ask for a post, and the handsome didn't say that he wanted to go over. The guard said.
"I know it." Ma Shiwei nodded, but sighed in his heart, picked up his steps and continued to walk inside.
"Dashuai, I'm still reading in such a cold weather." Entering Bi Guifang's study, a little strong smell of carbon penetrated into the nostrils, and Bi Guifang, who had a somewhat gray beard, was sitting next to the carbon basin, turning on the light bulb and reading a book, and there were one or two sticky bean bags in the carbon basin, which would almost bake the fire, and it was exuding fragrance.
"Well, what's the matter?" Bi Guifang asked.
"The pawnshop of the young nephew in the south of the city has been seized by a team of soldiers." Ma Shiwei said cautiously.
Bi Guifang hummed lightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Dashuai." Ma Shiwei screamed several times.
"What do you want to ask me to do? What can I do now? Bi Guifang put the book in his hand aside, and sighed in the twilight of a hero, "When the president was still there, although Xu Lanzhou was arrogant, he was not so unscrupulous, and now the State Council and the Presidential Palace on the central side are fighting each other, and there is no prestige, Xu Lanzhou looks at the high emperor of Heilongjiang Mountain, and wants to drive me away like Zhu Qinglan, what can I do, useless is a scholar, useless is a scholar." ”
Bi Guifang said quite indignantly, in order to make him soft, Xu Lanzhou had reached a compromise with Yingshun and Ba Ying, and the military strength of Heilongjiang unanimously resisted him, and sent a team of soldiers to seize his relatives' property, Bi Guifang was indeed helpless. The Marshal's Mansion also has to be spended, and now he has no real power in Heilongjiang, although the salary is 10,000 yuan, but so many people in the entire Marshal's Mansion have to eat, drink, and spend, and usually have to help among relatives, and this money is only enough for expenses. However, he is a provincial overseer, and he can't even protect the property of his son and nephew, and the rumor of Lu does make Bi Guifang extremely embarrassed.
"Shi Wei sees that this Heilongjiang handsome will not be able to stay sooner or later, rather than cheapening Xu Lanzhou, Ba Ying'e, Yingshun, these jackals, it is better to cheapen others, and it is better to give the handsome a bad breath in his heart." Ma Shiwei gritted his teeth and said.
"You're talking about Qin Yu in Fengtian?" Bi Guifang said.
"Yes, Qin Yu has been plotting for the Northeast for a long time, he entered Jilin last year, and he has been entrenched in Jilin for more than ten years, and Meng Enyuan, who has a deep-rooted power, has been driven away, Xu Lanzhou, Yingshun and others are also quite inferior to Meng Enyuan, how to block the tiger and wolf army of Fengtian. After the Feng army captured Jilin, a large number of troops had already entered Harbin, and Qiqihar could be taken directly west along the railway. Since he said it, the more Ma Shiwei spoke, the more justified he became, "Since Xu Lanzhou and others are unkind." You can't blame the marshal for being unjust, leading the Feng army into Heilongjiang, and selling it to Qin Yu for a good price before leaving Heilongjiang. Qin Yu of Fengtian is much more generous than Xu Lanzhou and the others. ”
"You are right, he is unkind, I am unjust. I am a provincial overseer. I was bullied to such an extent that even the foreigners in Heilongjiang looked down on me, what is the point of continuing to stay in Heilongjiang, since this is the case, I will tear Xu Lanzhou and a few people off the horse with this old face, and not let them have a good time. Bi Guifang said angrily.
"Things should be done sooner rather than later, since the big marshal has decided, you might as well get in touch with Fengtian as soon as possible, as long as Qin Yu has a heart for Heilongjiang. Will gladly agree. Ma Shiwei said excitedly, Bi Guifang is in decline, as an old man who has followed Bi Guifang for more than ten years, he naturally does not tolerate the arrogance and rudeness of Xu Lanzhou and others. Even if he didn't get too many benefits, he was angry for Bi Guifang.

The total length of the storm fuselage is 5.82 meters, the wingspan is 8.16 meters, the height is 2.47 meters, and the total empty weight of the aircraft is 431 kilograms. Maximum take-off weight 667 kg. The maximum flight speed is 176 kilometers per hour, and the cruising range is 2.6 hours. IT IS POWERED BY AN ISPANOSIZA WATER-COOLED ENGINE WITH A POWER OF 96.3 KILOWATTS AND TWO 7.62MM BROWNING AVIATION MACHINE GUNS. 4 11-kg bombs can be suspended under the wings. ”
"You told me that these are not all dumb white, tell me directly, how is the performance of this aircraft, and the Newwave in service with the British and French powers. How does the camel compare to famous aircraft such as the SE.5. "Qin Yu listened to these data, and if he read so much in one breath, where did Qin Yu remember.
Of course, Qin Yu didn't know anything about airplanes, in order to adapt to the most advanced weapons of this era. Qin Yu has also made up a lot of common sense of flying machines during this time, like the guy named Storm 1 fighter in front of him, with a slightly reversed double-layer wing, in which the reinforced branch line and the tension line are a relatively sturdy, but more conservative design, the front half is a wooden semi-monocoque structure with laminated skin, and the back half of the body is a traditional structure of wooden skeleton and linen cloth.
"Compared with the British Camel fighter, the Camel's speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour can be said to be the fastest flying fighter in the world at present, and the thin metal shell of the nose also adds a lot of protection. Its excellent high-altitude performance and unique speed make the Camel one of the most powerful fighters available. The average Fokker completes a two-week flight, which is enough for a camel to make three turns. However, although the camel's engine is powerful, it also has a relatively large gyroscopic effect, and the control is too sensitive, which makes the pilot's driving skills very strict, and the operation is slightly weak, and it is easy to enter the dangerous tailspin, and it is easy to have accidents, and it is known as a dangerous camel by the British pilot. All in all, this fighter is not suitable for novice pilots, but it is very popular with some highly skilled pilots. Ba Yuzao commented on the camel, one of the two main combat forces of the British Air Force in active service.
"Relatively speaking, the speed of the Tempest 1 is slightly lower than that of the Camel, but it is definitely not slow compared to the current warplanes of the belligerents, and it is comparable to the speed of the Newport 11 in active service in France, and higher than the active Fokker 1 in Germany. The two machine guns of the Tempest 1, one in the nose and the other in the middle of the upper wing, allow the pilot to get up and hold the gun with both hands to fire at the target above the front if needed. The speed on the storm is not as good as the camel, and the grappling performance is not as good as the Fokker 1, but it is a fighter with a very balanced overall performance, and the handling performance is also relatively good, with no outstanding advantages and no obvious shortcomings, and it is easier to get started than new pilots. Generally speaking, when fighting with the fighters in service with Britain, France and Germany, it depends more on the skills of the pilots. Its role is relatively close to that of the SE.5, one of the two main fighters in service in the British Air Force. It took a lot of effort from several designers to develop this fighter, and the prototype obtained from Britain and France also played a big role. ”
"Needless to say, the matter of the Flying Eagle Company is not to mention, but our aircraft factory here in Fengtian can not only meet the requirements of the introduction of the production license of the Flying Eagle Company, but also based on its own design, and manufacture Fengtian's own fighters, which is the long-term way to the future." Qin Yu nodded when he heard this, and he could see that Zhang Shun had put a lot of effort into it. When the United States participated in World War I, it did not have planes and tanks that could be used, and now they are all being made, of course, the United States is not short of design and research and development talents, and the reason why there was no liner in World War I is mainly due to the relatively late realization time. And Qin Yu used the talent reserve of the United States to lay out a few years in advance, and got prototypes from Britain, France, Russia and other countries.
"Marshal, how many of these Storm 1 fighters are you going to make?" Zhao Yunpeng and others on the side were a little eager to try, this is the first fighter in the true sense of the Northeast or the entire Republic of China, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than the previous Condor-type twin bombers.
"It's okay to get a squad first. Airplanes are still a bit of a luxury for Mukden. Moreover, in the Republic of China, only we in Fengtian have our own planes, and there is no place for equipping so many storms for aircraft warfare. Or are the vultures more practical. Qin Yu said, during World War II, most of the Japanese troops who invaded China felt that bombers were better to use, and it was also because of similar circumstances, the aviation strength of the entire Republic of China suffered heavy losses under the blows of the Japanese Air Corps, and the lethality of bombers to infantry was far greater than that of fighters.
Ba Yuzao, Wang Zhu and several other aircraft designers smiled secretly, and Zhao Yunpeng and these pilots did not know. However, they spent some time with the Flying Eagle, before the Eagle Corporation became independent from the United Arms Company. The most advanced bombers developed by Flying Eagle can be transported to Mukden as soon as possible, especially at the critical time of the Anshan Station incident before. Zhang Shun and they dare to have seen it, and as long as the strangeness in the middle is not injured, it can be imagined that there must be some close connection. It's just that these Zhao Yunpeng and others naturally don't know that the price of the aircraft is high, but the cost is more than half cheaper.
It's just just how close the relationship between the United Arms Company and Mukden is. Ba Yuzao, Wang Zhu, Ma Tianhao and others don't know much about it.
"It's just a squad." Zhao Yunpeng and other pilots were disappointed, they had met Qin Yu once or twice, and they knew that Qin Yu was a relatively easy person to get along with in private. Zhao Yunpeng was a few bold, and he was more open.
"It's good to have to drive, it's too little, you say, apart from Fengtian, where can you see so many planes?" Qin Yu said with a smile.
"That's right, trainer planes, fighter planes, and a few bomber squads, adding up to more than fifty aircraft." Du Baoming and the others nodded, it was really an outlier for Fengtian to have a fleet of this size.
"Later, the aviation school will be separated from the army, and you must come out as soon as possible with other pilots, this aircraft can be used not only for military purposes, but also for civilian use. Sooner or later, civilian and military use will have to be separated. Qin Yu said, "You can also discuss how to do it, and hand over a plan to me later." ”
"Boss, then we'll test the plane." Zhao Yunpeng was the first to say.
"Go ahead, the planes will all go back." Qin Yu nodded, and suddenly Zhao Yunpeng, Du Baoming, He Yingdong and the others cheered, and ran straight towards several assembled Storm 1 fighters.
"Dashuai, when will the machinery of the factory arrive, we are just assembling the aircraft here, and the drawings designed cannot be experimented, and our hands are itching." Ma Tianhao said, unlike those eager pilots, it is their job to build airplanes.
"It's probably more than two months away." The problem of the engine has always been a big problem, whether it is for cars or airplanes, even if there are many international students in the United States at this time are working hard in this subject, but it will take a certain amount of time to form their own research and development force, and the temporary Fengtian can only make its own small horsepower engine, with good performance and greater horsepower, it can only rely on the introduction of production licenses.
"Well, based on self-manufacturing, being able to build your own engine is a huge leap forward for the automotive and aircraft fields." Ma Tianhao, Ba Yuzao and others said excitedly, although the political situation in the country was chaotic at this time, but staying in Mukden, they could feel a vigorous vitality and motivation.
"Now Yushuai's investment in education and strength is so large, which is higher than military spending, which is a miracle in the entire Republic of China. I heard that when Meng Enyuan of Jilin went south to Beijing, he took away his belongings and property of no less than 10 million yuan, but the people of Jilin as a whole were extremely poor, and thousands of people died of hunger and disease every winter. Looking at the back of Qin Yu leaving, Wang Zhu said with reverence and some emotion.
"Your analogy is a bit nondescript, if you want to talk about family property, compared with Meng Enyuan and Yu Shuai, it is more than a few streets behind, is it possible that Yu Shuai is also full of private pockets?" Wang Xiaofeng said.
Wang Zhu smiled when he heard it, "I naturally didn't mean that, there is a good saying, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way." Yu Shuai has a net worth of tens of millions, but these money are all obtained from legal operations in the past, and Benxi alone and Taonan have fed more than 100,000 workers. Yu Shuai's own steel mill should pay exactly the same amount of taxes, not to mention anything else, just this time Yu Shuai agreed with other businessmen of the provincial government to enter Benxi to mine iron ore, this kind of mind and bearing, I am afraid that few people in the world can compare. ”
"That's not all, Yu Shuai founded Huaxing Bank and the Japanese Zhengjin Bank very early on, up to now, almost the Zhengjin foreign bank of the power to squeeze out of Fengtian, Huaxing Bank to Fengtian factory every year to give tens of millions of loans, to help the development of Fengtian industry ambition to play a greater role than the establishment of Fengtian Bank." Ma Tianhao is a native of Mukden, and his uncle worked as a branch manager in Huaxing Bank, so he knows more about this matter than ordinary people. "My uncle heard that Yu Shuai plans to personally contribute, and plans to build a university in Fengtian City that is no less than that of Fengtian University of Technology, Yu Shuai's money comes from industrial investment, and the money he earns has also done a lot of good things for the people of Fengtian, which is completely different from those who are rich and unkind."
"That's right, it's a matter of making money, and the other Overseers will only rely on their power to enclose land, usurp farmland, or businesses. And Yushuai's industries are all from industrial investment, which is good for the economic development of Fengtian, not only did not squeeze out the government's resources, but instead attracted a large number of employed people, which is fundamentally different from other overseers. Wang Zhu and the others nodded thoughtfully. (To be continued......)
