"Mr. Huizi, this time the southwest is equal, three points are military, and seven points are political. Your focus is to win over Xiong Kewu and Liu Xianshi and use them to fight Tang Jiyao. The ultimate goal of the Nationalist Government in the southwest region is to bring it under the command of the Nationalist Government, and at the same time, all armed liliang in the region will be incorporated into the youth army system. For the army that is not willing to be reorganized, you can leave, otherwise I will arrange for the army to enter the southwest region to strike at these reactionary forces with force," Wang Zhenyu said very domineeringly.

Yang Du held his head and thought for a long time and asked, "Commission, there are two questions here." The first question is how many troops do we send into the southwest region, and where is the first stop? The second question is how much will the operation cost? After all, whether it is to co-opt, divide or buy, it takes money! ”

Wang Zhenyu nodded and said: "This has been considered for a long time, this time the southwest sent troops is in the essence rather than in the many, and we can't keep up with the more logistics support, so I think about it, I will transfer up to three divisions to the southwest, and enter from Sichuan and Guizhou respectively." Specifically, I considered the Li Zhenkui Division of the First Division, the Li Pinxian Division of the Seventh Division, who went to Sichuan, and the Deng Keng Division of the 14th Division went to Guizhou. As for the army under their command, I agree to give the names of the four divisions, but like my army, the officers of these armies must be graduates of the Lu University, and the management system is also under the leadership of the Military Commission, and more importantly, they must be transferred to other provinces. As for Xiong Kewu and Liu Xianshi personally, my opinion is to respect personal opinions, Liu Xianshi can remain as governor of Guizhou Province, Xiong Kewu can be transferred to the Military Commission as a member, and the specific position can be arranged as a minister of a certain department. And Tang Jiyao, anyway, I will give the number of the two divisions to the Dian army. Here I might as well reveal some information to you, these six divisions will be transferred out of the southwest, and if conditions permit, they will go to Europe as the second echelon of the expeditionary force. ”

Yang Du and Yang Yongtai couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, they were so ruthless, it made it clear that they still didn't trust these non-descendants.

Wang Zhenyu naturally knew what his two major strategists were thinking, just kidding, he was not a saint, why did he treat his descendants and non-descendants equally in this troubled world? Didn't the great man treat the Kuomintang insurrectionary troops directly to North Korea? It is understandable to do this by himself, and he also has an idea, as long as these six divisions of Yunnan, Guichuan and the soldiers can survive the cruel European war, then they will be their descendants in the future. If it is accidentally wiped out, then he will not revoke the numbers of these six divisions, and Wang Zhenyu, the practice of revoking non-descendant numbers at will of Lao Jiang and the great man, will not do it anyway, because in his opinion, this is a desecration of the honor of soldiers.

Yang Yongtai is different from Yang Du, he has done this kind of internal work more than once, so he doesn't have to ask Wang Zhenyu's requirements when he goes to Henan, anyway, he is sure that he will definitely hand in an answer sheet that satisfies Wang Zhenyu. And later the development of events obviously greatly exceeded Wang Zhenyu's jihua, which also made Wang Zhenyu's heart Yang Yongtai more and more important.

sent away the two major strategists, and then there is another issue that Wang Zhenyu has to care about.

The development of the navy is full of difficulties, first, Japan, a bad neighbor, has the third navy, more than 300,000 tonnage, and now it is not even a fraction of others, and it is not generally difficult to catch up with others in this tonnage (shipbuilding is not made of construction steel, but military steel). More importantly, according to Wang Zhenyu's observation of the naval system in the past few months, it is an existence that cannot be inserted into the needle and cannot be splashed into the water. Finally, with the help of one billion Chinese dollars, the personnel power of the navy was taken back, but if you want to really control the navy, it is impossible to do so in eight or nine years. In the past eight or nine years, even if the tonnage reaches the standard, the combat level may not be comparable with Japan. Wang Zhenyu didn't want to be a pasteur like Li Hongzhang, he was heartbroken for the Qing Dynasty, he was scolded, and Zuihou had to wear a hat of a national thief. Therefore, the navy was positioned by Wang Zhenyu as a broken diplomatic type or pirate type, and the heavy responsibility of the rise of the entire China was not placed on the navy.

Wang Zhenyu feels that in order to really make China's national defense liliang rise, the most reliable thing is to make great efforts to develop the air force. There are two reasons for this:

First, Wang Zhenyu was in awe and affection for the Air Force from the bottom of his heart in his later life, or rather admiration. This is still the credit of the US imperialists, the army of the US imperialists in later generations is not as large as that of North Korea, but it can control the order of the entire Shijie, what does it rely on? It was they who were a whole generation ahead of other countries. There is no more extravagant army than the US Air Force, and a large number of planes that are decades ahead of Shijie are thrown in warehouses to fight wars using planes that are only one generation ahead of other countries. In all American war movies, one of the things that American GIs who have been beaten by the enemy often do is pick up the phone and ask for air support, and then the enemy is tragic. World War II was the most glorious era of the Air Force, and the tank cannon, known as the king of land warfare, was an ornament in front of the aircraft. After the end of World War II, airplanes became even more terrifying conventional weapons, and to deal with airplanes, they could only rely on airplanes, because the jishu work of fighting planes had become a luxury for the army. However, at the time when the First Shijie War was currently underway, the Air Force had just entered the stage of history, and in many countries they were not even an independent branch of the military. Even by World War II, Japan did not have an independent air force, they only had army aviation and naval aviation. The lack of attention to the new branches of the military can also be said to be an important reason why Japan was more like playing suicide in World War II. It's no wonder that the army at that time didn't pay attention to the air force, the performance of the aircraft at that time was really invisible, and even the army could not be bombed, the biggest role was to conduct an aerial reconnaissance, and the better jishu was to strafe the ground, and it was not necessarily possible to hit anything. The trembling biplane was so damaging to people's expectations that it was naturally overlooked. Historically, China has almost attached the most importance to the air force, and when Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country, was still playing in Guangzhou to protect the French military government, he set up a separate air force system, although there were only three or two kittens of planes at that time. However, it is useless to pay attention to it, because of the lack of a strong industrial base to support it, the performance of the Chinese Air Force in the entire Anti-Japanese War can only be described as tragic. In addition, they also did a very bad thing, in 1937 in Bailong Port, Shanghai, a Chinese pilot named Shen Chongzhi piloted a Northrop 2E fighter jet after all the bombs were dropped, and chose to use the plane to sink a Japanese warship, and this tragic scene enlightened the Japanese to set up a kamikaze special attack team, so the American boys began to tremble.

The second point is a very practical problem, at present, for this shijie, the air force is a new branch of the army, in this branch, China and the great powers are on the same starting line. Although the industrial base is not as good as others, it seems that it does not need to be a strong industrial base to be in an absolute advantage in a certain branch of the military, and the management of the Brazilian Football Federation is so backward, it does not prevent Brazilian football from producing excellent strikers? Wang Zhenyu firmly believes that if he grasps it well and persists in grasping it unremittingly, then it will not be difficult to build the Chinese Air Force into a first-class air force, and the first-class air force will be the greatest capital for the rise of the Chinese nation.

Thinking of acting, Wang Zhenyu immediately asked the attendant to find someone.

At present, there is a unit under the name of the General Staff, called the Flight Department, which was established before and after the Patriotic War, with few members, insufficient funds, and naturally no obvious results. Most of its main members are the friends of Feng Ru, the father of Chinese flight: Tan Gen, Zhu Zhuquan, Zhu Zhaohuai and Situ Biru.

Among the four, Tan Gen will be the general manager, and Zhu Zhuquan, Zhu Zhaohuai, and Situ Biru will be the engineers, and their main task is not to form an air force, but to develop aircraft.

When Wang Zhenyu was in Anjiang before, he had promised to allocate 500 million Chinese yuan to them for research and development, but Wang Zhenyu has now changed his mind and has a new idea for the construction of the Air Force.

Wang Zhenyu talked eloquently to the four flight experts sitting on the sofa: "In my opinion, there are three things that are very important to the aircraft, the first is the speed, the second is the flight mileage, and the third is the carrying. And all three come from the engine, the fuel tank, and the volume. Our future Chinese Air Force needs aircraft that have more destructive power than they are faster and farther, and these planes must be of good quality, so that they do not fall off on their own before they are put into battle. This requires the products we develop to be more standardized in their production and assembly. ”

The four people agreed with this, and Tan Gen stood up on behalf of the four and said: "Then Mr. Chairman, have you read the airline development jihua book we formulated?" ”

Wang Zhenyu immediately picked up a document from his desk, which was the jihua book drafted by the four of them.

Wang Zhenyu said: "I read the Jihua book, it's very good, but it still doesn't meet my requirements, and your positioning of the Air Force has deviated." I think it is necessary for me to emphasize here that the air force should not be a reconnaissance auxiliary force, but should be the master of the entire battlefield, they can bomb the enemy's artillery positions, they can destroy the enemy's fortified buildings, and they can attack the fleets of the great powers that are showing off their might in our country's territorial waters. ”

Tan Gen was a little unconvinced: "But the plane is not so powerful, what do they use to achieve your request?" ”

Wang Zhenyu was not angry because of Tan Gen's collision, he waved his hand and said: "I know what you said, the current aircraft are not so powerful at all, but what is the purpose of our establishment of this China Airlines Corporation, not to immediately engage in the mass production of aircraft, but to turn my idea or dream just now into reality." Therefore, we have to change the direction now, the flight team must be established, and the factory area must be established, but the scale must be reduced, and we must change from production to research and development. In the future, the Air Force will have two institutions of higher learning, one is the Air Force University, and this one is to train qualified Air Force soldiers; The other is the Air Force Engineering University, which trains Air Force Jishu personnel. ”
