"Dean, is it really okay for us to invite Jiang Baili in?"

Back in the courtyard, Cheng Nuo told everyone about inviting Jiang Baili to train students.

While he was pleasantly surprised by the expansion of his team, there was a slight doubt about the newcomer who was about to come in.

"It's not that I don't believe in this Mr. Jiang's ability, but he is still holding a position in the public family, and it is really unreassuring to work part-time in our academy like this." Jiang Jiangzuo took the lead in standing up and raised everyone's questions as a representative.

Cheng Nuo sat on the main seat, looked at the subordinates under his left and right hands, and smiled, "Do you all think the same way? If you have any other questions, you might as well speak them all, because hiding them will also affect our internal unity."

Guo Shouchun wanted to speak and stopped, opened his mouth and clearly wanted to say something, but finally closed it again.

Cheng Nuo noticed this and said with a smile: "Lao Guo, you have something to say, just say it boldly and directly, there are no outsiders here."

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Guo Shouchun got up from his seat, arched his hand to the surrounding comrades and said, "Dean, your news may be a little late, although the public family is surnamed Feng on the surface, in fact, the principal is still surnamed Duan. And our Mr. Jiang heard from his classmates that he was just hired as an adviser to the presidential office not long ago.

At the same time, the major general was crowned lieutenant general, which Mr. Jiang gladly accepted, and at this time we openly announced that we would hire him to enter our academy of sciences.

Cheng Nuo's previous line was to get involved in politics as little as possible, so after hearing that Jiang Baili was so involved, the expression on his face gradually became solemn: "But is there such a thing!?"

Shi Jin of the Machinery Academy nodded and said cautiously: "Not only that, in Duan Qirui's cabinet, Jiang Baili is the worst, his teacher Liang Qichao is the current Minister of Finance, Chen Zhongshu is the Secretary General of the Ministry of Finance, and even his friend Lin Changmin is also the Minister of Justice.

Dean, tell me, such a complex political figure is suddenly recruited, can he do academics with peace of mind? It has invisibly attracted the attention of the upper echelons to us, and it has added some constraints out of thin air, which is extremely unfavorable for the development of the future."

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Nuo said slowly, "Everyone's worries are not unreasonable, after all, Duan Qirui is famous for "covering the sky with one hand, leaving no eyes to spare", and it is indeed refreshing that we suddenly recruited his advisor."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, thinking that Cheng Nuo complied with everyone's ideas and gave up recruiting Jiang Baili, and his face couldn't help but relax a lot.

But who knows that Cheng Nuo only said half of what he said, and the most important thing is the back: "But have you ever thought that as our scale continues to expand and more and more new comrades join, sooner or later one day we will be completely exposed to the public eye, this situation is obviously not subject to personal will.

It is precisely because of this mentality that we are afraid of wolves and tigers that we give up more influential comrades to join, and some of them will inevitably give up food because of choking. In my opinion, as long as the purpose of our Academy of Sciences is to save the country and the people, then it is difficult not to have anything to do with politics.

[In view of the general environment,

This day may happen tomorrow, it may happen the day after tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow, no one can guarantee the specific day, we can't deliberately resist because of fear, it's better to be blocked."

Looking at everyone, Cheng Nuo paused for a while and laughed at himself: "Besides, Mr. Jiang's attitude is still in the ambiguous stage, whether he is really willing to come, and the people have not yet expressed their attitude, if the other party is not willing to come at all, will our worries become a joke?"

After the words were spoken, everyone was silent.

In the end, Jiang Jiang Zuo was more bold, and laughed loudly: "Think about it, our established dean of the Academy of Social Sciences, Liang Qichao, is Mr. Jiang Baili's teacher, the teacher can come in, how can this student not get in."

Guo Shouchun on the side couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Lifu, Lifu, I only obey you when it comes to changing course."

Jiang Jiangzuo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Where is this change of course, it is clear that the dean is right, and he reasoned with the facts and persuaded me. Think about it

The presidential adviser has no power and no army, so he is clearly a mascot."

Cheng Nuo smiled and nodded: "It seems that everyone has seen the essence through the appearance, Mr. Jiang Baili is already difficult to make a difference in politics at the moment, as long as the Duan government does not fall, he will be guarded all the time, and the road in front of him will be narrower and narrower."

Our move at this time can be regarded as a relief in the snow, although he said that he is still thinking about it, but in my opinion, he is already very moved in his heart."

As he spoke, he took out the first draft of Jiang Baili's "Theory of Duties" that had been completed so far and put it in front of everyone.

Jiang Jiangzuo, who took the manuscript, hesitated, "What is this?"

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "Don't forget that our Mr. Jiang Baili is not only an adviser to the Presidential Palace, but also a military student who studied in Japan and Germany, this manuscript was compiled by him, and its core idea is to save the country and save the people like us, you all take a look, I am going to publish it in the magazine in the courtyard later."

Originally, there were some opinions on Cheng Nuo's views, but after the process of circulating manuscripts to each other, everyone's views completely changed.

For his colleagues in the military field, Zaitao likes his future colleagues more and more: "You may not know, this gentleman is a great talent, he was a good friend of General Cai Yi, who was in charge of the southwest, and almost made him the governor of Yunnan Province in the middle, and it is not easy to come to us."

"Yes, Mr. Jae is right." Cheng Nuo deliberately sold a pass, and said with a smile: "But then again, this Mr. Jiang still has some relationship with you."

Zaitao was stunned, and couldn't help but wonder, "How can I say that it is because of Mr. Jiang Baili's study abroad through the previous dynasty?"

Cheng Nuo smiled and shook his head: "But that's not all, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Zai was originally organized by you, and the earliest aircraft research institute in our country was officially established."

Although Zaitao had doubts on his face, he still replied, "Yes, there is such a thing, it is in the Dahongmen of Nanyuan, Beijing, and it is still there."

"By the way, I can talk to Mr. Jiang that is, tell him that we are going to do the plane business." Walking in front of Zaitao, Cheng Nuo patted him on the shoulder: "As for now, you are not light tired with a hundred and a half children by yourself, and it is estimated that you can't manage it."

If Mr. Jiang is really willing to come over, I am going to send him to you first, to get used to it for a while, and by the way, to help you, what do you think?"

Zaitao hesitated: "It's good, but after all, he is a lieutenant general, I'm afraid it's not so easy to speak."

Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "It turns out that you are worried about this, I don't think you need to, you were also the commander of the Praetorian Guard before, no worse than his rank of lieutenant general, and you can completely surrender."

Zaitao's face turned red, and he wanted to argue: "These are two different things, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, it makes people laugh when he says it......

Cheng Nuo interrupted: "That's it, right now, it's just the two of you who understand military affairs in our academy, don't partner with each other, who else do you want to find, when the time comes, you will train this batch of seedlings crookedly, I can settle accounts with you!"

Seeing this, Zaitao had no choice but to bow his hand, saying that he had taken this "military order", and thought in his heart that he would go to Jiang Baili's house in advance after the meeting, go over to find out, and get acquainted with it in advance.

Cheng Nuo got up and returned to his position, looked at everyone Cheng Nuo said seriously: "Here I can tell you in advance that in the near future, while following Comrade Ba Yuzao to build an airplane, the Civil Aviation School of the Academy of Sciences will also prepare at the same time, and everyone is welcome to give advice."

This sentence exploded in the crowd like a cannonball, and before he could react from the things arranged by Jiang Baili, when he heard this bombshell news, they were all talking about it.

At this time, Cheng Nuo was like an outsider, sitting on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, slowly drinking tea.

In modern times, there are three main training modes for pilots in China, namely, public study abroad, domestic training, and overseas schools, among which domestic training methods are the focus.

In addition to the aforementioned Nanyuan Aviation School, before the Nanjing government unified China Airlines, there were Northeast Aviation School, Yunnan Aviation School, Baoding Aviation School, Guangdong Aviation School, Guangxi Aviation School, etc., which were gradually unified into the Central Aviation School during the Anti-Japanese War.

The scale of the training institutions is the largest in Guangdong Aviation School and Central Aviation School, and the enrollment of students in the heyday is only about 100, while other institutions are about 30-50 students, and some only have a dozen students, or even only one period.

A rough calculation shows that from the preparation of the Nanyuan Aviation School to the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in the past 24 years, various training institutions in modern China have trained more than 1,740 pilots, which is simply not enough to deal with the imperialist war of aggression.

As for the civil aviation envisioned by Cheng Nuo, it is not that there is no civilian use in these decades, but it is very few, namely the Xiamen Civil Aviation School, the Shanghai China Flight Society, and the Shanghai Civil Aviation Flight Society, which are extremely small in scale, extremely limited in training capacity, and have existed for a very short time.

As a person who has been in contact with the Air Force on the ground, Zaitao has something to say: "At that time, we did prepare the Praetorian Guard Air Force, selected officers to practice flying, and organized the air force, but in fact the cost was too great for the government to afford, and our personal strength was really not enough."

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "We can build the plane ourselves, and we don't need to buy other people's, which reduces the investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. As far as I know, Nanyuan Aviation School has bought several Gaudelon aircraft, but none of them can exceed the horsepower of the aircraft designed by Mr. Ba Yuzao, and the overall performance is far from being able to match it."

In fact, Nanyuan Aviation School has the ability to make its own aircraft, in addition to the engine to be imported, the damaged aircraft can be overhauled, the frame, cylinder, spiral plate and other components can be made by the factory, but the school funds are unstable, plus the style is old, after building a few and then give up.

Later, when the aircraft was rebuilt, the First World War was going on, the training aircraft used by the Nanyuan Aviation School was the French Gaudron aircraft, the aviation school trained students, the loss of the aircraft was bound to be a lot, and because of the European war, the new aircraft could not be replenished, and the self-made aircraft was exactly what the aviation school needed.

According to the experience of manufacturing foreign goods, the cost of self-manufacturing is often a fraction of the price of foreign goods. Even if a foreign engine is used, the cost of building a self-built aircraft is much lower than that of direct procurement.

The engine can be designed and built independently, and the cost can be further compressed, so the actual cost of running an aviation school is far lower than Zaitao's estimate.

The cost of setting up an aviation school was told to everyone present, but concerns remained.

Zaitao asked, "The plane is available, and the territory is easy to solve, but how to find a flight instructor, especially an instructor with rich experience, is even more difficult to find."

Cheng Nuo thought for a moment and explained his plan: "Your concern is very right, there are only a handful of pilots at the beginning of flight training, but this does not mean that there is no solution. Not to mention poaching people from the Nanyuan Aviation School next door, for the time being, you can also hire some overseas Chinese pilots and foreign pilots.

When our homegrown pilots gradually take shape, it's not too late to localize."

Guo Shouchun nodded, and asked again: "What about our enrollment targets, as far as I know, Nanyuan Aviation School is mainly military, if we run an aviation school, it will be difficult to follow them, right?"

Cheng Nuo replied: "In fact, the establishment of aviation schools by the public is to serve the purpose of increasing the number of military branches, improving the military system, and expanding military strength. As civilians, of course, we can't select from the military, but from this group of 100 school workers.

If the target has not yet been met, we can also select from among the graduates of each secondary school and recruit students from all over the country."

Zaitao was very appreciative of this arrangement, and the worries on his face dissipated a lot: "In this way, the preparation of our aviation school seems to be very feasible."

Cheng Nuo smiled: "With everyone here, of course it is feasible, and running an aviation school is not just about teaching students to fly planes, but also about disciplines and techniques at the same time."

Jiang Jiangzuo was curious: "What is a discipline, and what is a technique?"

Cheng Nuo said with a smile: "The subject is mainly aviation theory education, and the technical subject teaches flight technology, especially flight technology, and it is recommended to adopt a three-level grading system of elementary, intermediate and advanced level, so that students can only advance to the next stage after meeting the requirements of one stage."

Zaitao asked, "Request? Does it mean flight technology?"

Cheng Nuo shook his head with a smile: "Of course it's not that simple, in addition to the flight skills you said, there are also requirements for flight knowledge and flight duration, and regular physical examinations must be conducted in the middle, and those who fail to pass will be straight."

Grounded and switched to ground majors such as aviation mechanics!"

After a set of theories, everyone had to be impressed by Cheng Nuo's arrangement, but they really didn't expect that the dean would think of even the details in addition to the slogan, so he almost implemented it directly.

Jiang Jiangzuo said seriously: "So, dean, are you determined to set up an aviation school?"

Cheng Nuo took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "In the future, our Academy of Sciences will thoroughly implement production, education and research to form a defense-science-industry alliance, which will not only promote the military revolution, but also promote economic development.

Building airplanes and running aviation schools is just our thing, not our end."
