After sitting on the cold bench for two days, Huang Ke finally had the opportunity to meet Stalin in person. The night before, Chicherin of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs came to the hotel where Huang Ke was staying and informed him that he would go to the Kremlin tomorrow morning and that Comrade Stalin would hold a brief meeting with him.

When Huang Ke heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and when he left, Chicherin also advised, "Because you are all members of the economic construction team, after meeting Comrade Stalin, you only need to talk about it economically, and do not mention the border between the two countries and Mongolia."

After hearing this, Huang Ke smiled slightly and said: "Please rest assured, I will not disappoint Comrade Stalin." ”

With that, he got up and saw off Chicherin, and then returned to the hotel with the guard Fourteen. That night, after Huang Ke and his entourage had dinner, they rested early, and did not mention the meeting with Stalin to others at all, but simply arranged the next stop of the visit.

On the second day, as usual, Huang Ke got up early, changed into a brand-new tunic suit, took the interpreter and the guards to get into a Renault car that had been prepared a long time ago, and went straight to the Kremlin.

The hotel where Huang Ke and the Kremlin stayed was not far away, the roads in Moscow were wide, and there were few vehicles on the road, so the group was not crowded, almost did not stop, and Huang Ke arrived at the Kremlin after about ten minutes.

After getting out of the car, several burly men searched for the weapons on Fourteen's body and told him that they would return the gun to him when he came out. The taste of being shot was uncomfortable, and Fourteen Tsai stared at the tall Soviet guard with a look of anger.

The most incomprehensible thing is that the pen that the translator was carrying with him was also taken away, and the guards who searched him did not say much, and the staff next to him told him that they would provide special pens for him to use when he got inside.

After some searching, and making sure that there were no more threats to their safety, a man in a dark green military uniform led them inside.

After going through layers of guards, and after turning a few corners inside, Huang Ke and the others were led into a small conference room. The layout of the meeting room is simple but noble, the furniture is characteristic of the Tsarist period, the interior is flooded with light, and the fireplace is steaming outward.

Huang Ke sat on one of the chairs, and after a while, a well-dressed waitress came over with a few cups of mixed tea, and after putting it down, the waiter with a big ass walked out politely with a smile.

Huang Ke took the cup of tea and tasted it, it tasted strange with brown sugar, he knew that the Soviets drank tea from China in history, but the Slavs who liked heavy flavors changed the taste of these teas.

Before the tea was finished, a rhythmic footstep came, and a burly colonel walked briskly, he pushed open the door in front of him and made a "please" gesture, and a middle-aged Slavic man with a pipe walked in behind.

The middle-aged man wore a military uniform with light gray lapels with a red collar on the collar badge and a bright gold star on the epaulette. Huang Ke knew that this was obviously the supreme leader of the Soviet Union - Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin.

Seeing the disaster of Stalin walking in, Huang Ke stood up and walked forward, and shook hands with him politely. Stalin also stretched out his broad palm and shook it with Huang Ke. Although Fourteen Tsai followed Huang Ke to meet many big names, he was still somewhat affected by Stalin's momentum, and he was a little unnatural when he stood up.

However, on the other hand, Huang Ke's eyes were still as calm as a torch, and after a few simple greetings with Stalin, the two of them sat on the chairs next to them, the two interpreters sat in the back in turn, and the surrounding staff also prepared their notebooks, and a high-level meeting began.

Stalin opened his mouth first, and as is the usual diplomatic practice, he first asked Huang Ke about his recent life in Moscow, his eating habits, and so on, and then talked about the long-term friendship and minor differences between the two countries, and only after some conversation did the two men talk about specific economic cooperation.

"The Soviet Union is a friendly country, and we are willing to conduct normal trade with all friendly countries. In this way, if there is any trade between the two countries that needs to be discussed, Mr. Huang Ke can find the relevant personnel of our country's trade committee, and I will tell them. ”

When it comes to economy and trade, Stalin is still official, it is obvious that he will not take Huang Ke's itinerary seriously, and at the same time he is not willing to continue to have in-depth conversations with him.

Huang Ke saw what he meant, although he was a little dissatisfied with the other party's words, but this was indeed expected, after all, his identity was not the leader of a country, just a vacant position, and the Soviet Union really had nothing to introduce at this time, their five-year plan had not yet begun, and industrialization was still starting step by step, for such a country, Huang Ke knew that there was actually nothing to introduce.

But he still put the Soviet Union in the first place, because of the need for Japan, Huang Ke firmly believed that the Soviet Union would become a natural ally of China.

"Mr. Stalin, I have not come only to talk about trade between the two countries. To tell you the truth, I am also in charge of some national defense affairs in the new government, and this time I have also made clear to your country our national defense proposition. ”

Huang Ke's words surprised the people present, didn't he come on a trade trip? Why are you still talking about homeland defense? The fourteenth boy next to him noticed that Stalin's face had a look of displeasure.

Huang Ke didn't care, he knew what Lao Maozi was thinking in his heart, the Japanese were wolves, they were just a tiger, and there was no good thing.

"As far as the Soviet Union is currently facing in the Far East, I think our two countries are natural allies, because of the continuous expansion of Japan's military power, I believe that in the near future they will have their hands on many places in the Far East, including the territory of China and the Soviet Union."

After Huang Ke finished speaking, he quietly glanced at Stalin next to him, he knew that the purpose of his trip to Moscow had been achieved, Huang Ke lit a cigarette and smoked quietly, and that posture did not take Stalin in his eyes at all.

Stalin smoked his pipe quietly, obviously today's conversation has exceeded his previous preparations, originally thought that an economic and trade official from China, a polite reception would be enough, but he did not expect the other party to raise the most sensitive border issue between the two countries, from the posture of this person's speech, it can be seen that he is definitely not a simple economic and trade official, that kind of momentum is like a general on the battlefield.

Although he was a little caught off guard, Stalin was a well-informed politician after all, and after smiling indifferently, he smiled and said: "Mr. Huang Ke, if what you just said can represent your government, I will definitely seriously consider it." I have a few things to attend to, and I hope you all have a good time in Moscow. ”

The meeting ended quickly, and after that, Huang Ke and they went to the next stop of their visit - Europe.

When Huang Ke went on a multinational visit, the Mawei shipyard in Fujian Province had already begun to carry out their research and development process in full swing. With the injection of large sums of money from the National Industrial Construction Committee, the development of new aircraft has been carried out smoothly.

Ba Yuzao led his team to develop a single-wing single-seat propeller aircraft, and in terms of engine, Ba Yuzao and his colleagues decided to consider using American engines for the time being, because China has no ability to manufacture aircraft engines for the time being. In terms of the material of the aircraft, Bayuzao has abandoned the original wood material, and now that they have sufficient funds, they have purchased enough high-quality steel to replace the wood.

Ba Yuzao understood that Huang Ke's request to develop a new type of aircraft must have been for military fighters before he left. Therefore, it is necessary to choose superior steel in terms of material, because in air combat, wooden aircraft are as light and thin as a ball of paper.

After all the materials and sources were ready, Ba Yuzao and his colleagues began to draw the outline of the aircraft on various drawings, and these researchers then began to develop and manufacture little by little.

To be honest, the reason why they worked so hard to develop this kind of aircraft was that in addition to their strong patriotic feelings, there was also a sense of gratitude to Huang Ke. These researchers full of patriotic passion began to use their life's learning to revitalize this poor and backward motherland when they returned to China, but years of warlord warfare made it impossible for them to carry out their research.

Not to mention the research on new aircraft, even the Mawei shipyard is getting worse, and now some workshops are dilapidated and full of rats.

Even in this case, Ba Yuzao and others still imitated some aircraft, filling the gap in China's aviation industry.

With the reunification of the country and the unprecedented support of the new government for the aviation industry, Ba Yuzao feels that the value of his existence is much higher. Under the leadership of the National Industrial Construction Committee, many abandoned workshops of Mawei Shipyard have also begun to be restored, batches of workers have also returned to their posts, and the treatment of R&D personnel and workers in Mawei Shipyard has also been improved a lot.

With material support, the enthusiasm of R&D personnel and workers has been greatly mobilized. Ba Yuzao's thinking was indeed very advanced, and when developing this new aircraft, he designed a retractable landing gear and a fully enclosed cockpit, which were rare at the time.

After the initial planning, Ba Yuzao quickly had urgent consultations with the R&D personnel, and the design paper drafts and models were scrapped one by one, and then the inference and research and development were restarted.

After a month of inference, Ba Yuzao and they finally finalized the design draft of a new aircraft, judging from the theoretical data, this aircraft is more often used as a fighter-bomber, not only equipped with machine guns and guns, but also can be equipped with aerial bombs, but all this is unknown, everything has to wait until the aircraft prototype is manufactured, can be concluded.

In the aircraft workshop of the Mawei Shipyard, an aircraft with a strange style began to be manufactured step by step, and Ba Yuzao did not know at this time that the improved aircraft of this model later shocked the sky and launched a bloody battle with the Japanese aviation unit.
