Chapter 4: Flying to the Northwest (Revision)
"These guys are 'sluts', they have long forgotten their surnames, and one day when we all go back, like this kind of spineless, unhealthy thing, I would rather kill by mistake than let go!"
This is in Nancy, France, soundcode Mike. When they were trained in the "castle" of the Prince Company, Tang Yunyang told them about one of the several types of people who must be completely eliminated in the land of China.
"Drug dealers and traitors shake the foundation of the nation, and they can sell the hope of all the people of the nation for their own selfish desires, and there is only one word to deal with them: 'kill', this kind of thing is not necessary to be reformed, and it cannot be fundamentally reformed. In addition, the so-called underworld ......"
Out of the dock, Li Zhicheng realized that in the process of their drifting on the sea, so many things happened. Even through telegraph contact, the French consulate had set aside a large open space in the French Concession for their use.
After all, although this is not a matter of the French military, an order from the commander of the French army, Xia Fei, is still enough to attract the attention of the French consul. Naturally, the people of Prince Company have a green light for everything.
The place prepared for Li Zhicheng by the French consul not only had a large open space in front of the door that could be used as an airport, but also a small three-story building for them to use. Even the land was not far from the French barracks, so that they could be protected by the French army.
February 2, 1916 was the Chinese New Year's Eve, but Li Zhicheng and his men did not rest so easily. They had to recruit some people and set up offices to recruit Chinese workers before the fifteenth. Before that, they have an even more important thing to do.
In a huge container, there are two sets of equipment. One set is the components of a modified light airliner's fuselage, wings, engines, etc., and a set of radio stations.
In the castle, Li Zhicheng and his men were already familiar with this kind of aircraft.
It wasn't big, a little longer than the 3.5-ton truck, and it had no more than three people, including the driver, and one engine. But it has a rather large fuel tank, which allows such an aircraft to travel up to 1000 kilometers.
This would have been Mike. A small reconnaissance aircraft with a single wing and a single engine started by the Prince Company. Of course, it is designed so that it can be replaced with newer engines at any time, and the fuselage can also be converted into a small passenger aircraft. As for the purpose of the design, when the war is over, everyone will naturally understand.
The modular design of this aircraft also makes it very fast whether it is disassembled and transported or quickly assembled, and it is called the "goose aircraft" by the company's people. From the afternoon of its arrival in Shanghai, the plane was assembled and parked in the open field.
"Brothers, we have returned to our homeland, and the next thing to do is to quickly set up the radio equipment and prepare for communication with Batavia. In addition, the work here should be carried out as soon as possible, and preparations should be made for the large-scale recruitment of Chinese workers and soldiers. I'm flying the plane and I'm taking off early tomorrow morning with two other people......"
That night, as French patrols passed by from time to time, their station was quiet. The next morning, the sun slowly rose in late winter, and the plane soared into the blue sky with the roar of engines.
At this time, the workers in Shanghai had just gotten up, and the women put the toilets in front of their doors, and naturally there were people pouring "night incense" to remove these things. As we have talked about, the child laborers of the "contract workers" also hurried to the yarn factory one by one, and with their young hands, to serve the so-called "golden hour" of national industry.
But today, when everyone walks, they can't help but look at the sky. Under the light of the rising sun, the distant sound of engines could be heard in the sky, and as far as I looked, I could see that there was a plane hovering there.
"Airplane!"
In the eyes of most people, even those who are literate and often read books and newspapers, this word has not appeared for a long time. Even the foreigners who came to China have long forgotten the term. Therefore, the eyes of both foreigners and Chinese on this plane were attracted early in the morning.
When looking down from the sky, the so-called "big Shanghai" is just a small piece. Li Zhicheng, who had just taken off, did not plan to fly away immediately, and today he had to scatter the leaflets of "recruitment" when everyone was not so busy during the day on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Wow"
Pieces of paper the size of a palm scattered all over the sky like snow.
Today, all the Chinese-language magazines and newspapers in the French Concession are prominently guaranteed by the consuls of the United States, Britain, and France. Large-scale job postings at Prince Corporation.
After the last pack of leaflets was scattered, Li Zhicheng closed the folding door of the cabin. It's still quite cold in this late winter sky.
"Northwest direction, let's go!"
(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481; Email: [email protected].
The earth swept backwards under the wings, and on the ground you could see a series of winding "paths", with some early horse-drawn carriages or morning trains moving slowly underneath.
Li Zhicheng was a little excited in his heart, and now he was on his way home. For more than a year, he has been wandering overseas, and when he comes back now, he has been reborn.
He is not the member of the alliance who is naïve and thinks that he can strengthen the country according to the European and American models. is no longer the one who thinks that he must have the help of the great powers to enrich the country and strengthen the army. He had a clearer goal, at least he knew that what China lacked was the ability to master modern science and technology and ideas that could adapt to industrial development.
In order to smoothly recruit workers, Li Zhicheng's plane would drop a large number of leaflets every time it passed through a slightly larger city, and even when he passed through the territory of Shandong Province, which had already fallen into the Japanese, he did so. And, it was reassuring that the Japanese troops did not fire at him, presumably they did not have any weapons such as anti-aircraft guns at all.
Also, the air power of the Japanese was only beginning to improve on the eve of World War II. Even the round-the-world flight of their airship was only halfway through the start of World War II. As for now, the Japanese simply don't even have airplanes.
Thanks to the Chinese national capitalists who boasted the so-called "golden age" to the sky, Japan's manufacturing industry was perfected precisely because of their needs.
Scattering leaflets and scattering leaflets, the plane did not stop much, and flew towards their destination - Cangzhou.
