Chapter 1079 Be prepared

Located on the north bank of the Minjiang River, the Syrian Aircraft Factory is a large scale, and there are as many as five steel-framed structure workshops that are more than 60 meters long and more than 20 meters wide alone, and other ancillary buildings and processing workshops are distributed around the five large factories in an orderly manner.

Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage have been in mutual discussion and exclamation since they entered the gate of the factory guarded by a garrison regiment, Chiang Kai-shek and others have visited the Hangzhou Aircraft Factory, which is known as "China's No. 1 Aircraft Factory", and they have been there more than once, and now they have found that the factory has a false appearance, except for assembling old American aircraft and maintaining various civil aircraft, there are no spare parts and production lines, and the equipment is perfect and advanced, with more than 500 Chinese and foreign engineers, The young and middle-aged technical backbone and the more than 3,200 industrial workers who have all received basic professional training in the Xufu factory are ridiculous. Although the Hangzhou factory was established early, in front of the Xufu factory, it was like a weak flower child standing in front of a young and strong rich man.

Song Ziwen was a pioneer in advocating the introduction of science and technology, advanced equipment, and management experience from developed countries in Europe and the United States, and was the most far-sighted and sagacious doer in the central government of Nanjing; the Hangzhou Aircraft Factory was opened with the strong support of Song Ziwen; because of the extreme backwardness in scientific research level, manufacturing technology, and concepts, and because of Song Ziwen's two angry trips, the Hangzhou plant had to introduce American capital.

However, in the end, the Hangzhou plant, a famous aircraft factory with the banner of a national enterprise, made the Americans the largest shareholder, and so far, it has not produced a single aircraft of its own, all of which are backward products assembled from the United States with engines and supporting parts, such as the Hawker biplane fighter and Boeing amphibious aircraft and other old models that the United States has complete intellectual property rights and patent rights. For more than three years, he learned almost nothing useful.

Song Ziwen was anxious in his eyes, but he had nothing to do about it, and this is why the Central Aircraft Factory, which began to build a factory in Nanchang last year, has not yet been fully completed due to various reasons such as the suppression of the Communist Party, the shortage of funds, and the limited technical level. However, this competition has also prompted the US joint venture party of the Hangzhou plant to increase investment in technology and equipment, expand the main plant, and develop old processing machinery, in order to maintain competitiveness, it also took the initiative to propose to the Nanjing government to send 50 outstanding talents in China's aircraft manufacturing industry to study in the United States free of charge, and the United States will bear all the expenses of these 50 personnel in the next two years of study in the United States.

But the response speed of the Hangzhou factory is still late, China's aircraft market has been quietly taken away by An Yi's Syrian aircraft factory, not to mention that all the four aviation regiments of the Southwest Air Force Command use all kinds of aircraft from the Syrian factory, not to mention that all the Junkers JU52 transport aircraft jointly produced by China and Germany and the gradual purchase of AN5 civil transport aircraft, upgraded from the South Sichuan Airlines, are only the aviation brigade of the Gui Air Force, the Jin Sui Army Air Force, and the first Sheng Shicai, It has successively purchased more than 130 fighters of all kinds produced or assembled by the Syrian factory, and all parties have spoken highly of the quality and price of the aircraft of the Syrian factory, and what makes all parties feel more assured is that the Syrian factory has an experienced and skilled maintenance service team, as long as the purchaser's aircraft fails, just a telegram, this rapid response maintenance service team will take a large transport plane to solve, not only to help maintain the aircraft produced by the factory, He has also been very generous in repairing older aircraft purchased from other countries for his customers, which has won praise and gratitude from all parties.

Song Ziwen and others know very well in their hearts that the achievements of the Xufu factory are only the beginning, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the change of the concept of modern warfare, the procurement volume of the Central Army and the various forces in the country will increase rapidly in the future, just like the various cars produced by the automobile factory under An Yi, in just two years has occupied half of the national market, and manufacturers and sellers in Europe and the United States who have encountered severe challenges can only cry out in vain in the face of the rapid rise of the technical capabilities and endless market means of the enterprises under An Yi's commandThere is no way around it.

The arrival of Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage was very sudden, except for the army, An Yi did not notify any department, and even Luo Zhichun, the director of the aircraft factory and a Guangdong-Chinese doctor of aerodynamics from California, was only notified half an hour before Chiang Kai-shek's arrival.

This 39-year-old aeronautical genius, who could only speak Chaoshan dialect of Guangdong, China, but was fluent in English, French, German, and Italian, could only talk to Chiang Kai-shek, Ge Jingen, Cao Haosen, and others through the translation of An Yi and Song Ziwen. Song Ziwen, like An Yi, can speak fluent Chaoshan and English, while Kong Xiangxi simply communicates with Luo Zhichun directly in English. After Zhang Xi *** in three years, Luo Zhichun left the position of production manager of the Fox Aircraft Factory in the United States, returned to China with the heart of serving the country, and served as the director of the An Yi Aircraft Factory.

In the course of the visit, Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage went everywhere, Chinese and foreign technicians and workers just nodded, showed a smile and went their own way, everywhere there was no formal welcome and onlookers, this phenomenon made Chiang Kai-shek very comfortable, praised that this is the talent who does the cause, this is the place to do the cause.

It can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek is also disgusted with the welcome and dispatch of the people everywhere, and it also makes everyone who follows Chiang Kai-shek realize that the rigorous and pragmatic work of the Anyi Group has won the favor of Chiang Kai-shek.

To the surprise of Chiang Kai-shek and all the visitors, after nearly two hours of visiting, they did not see a complete aircraft, and after An Yi explained, they learned that the assembly workshop of the manufacturing plant was not here, but next to the air base on the south bank of the Minjiang River, where all the planes were finally assembled and inspected, and then passed through strict flight test tests before they could be handed over to all users for use.

Under An Yi's whispered introduction, Chiang Kai-shek and others learned that An Jiajun had a high-tech flight team -- a test flight regiment, which had 45 experienced and highly skilled pilots, which would not only conduct various pre-delivery tests for all civilian aircraft, but also undertake a more important and arduous task, that is, to conduct various tests of various types of military aircraft developed and produced by the Xufu FactoryOnly by joining this team can we learn more advanced knowledge, have the qualifications to fly all types of fighters, pass the hurdle of lieutenant colonel, and become the most respected special-grade pilot in the air force, and can also get the villas and special cars issued by the Anjia Army Command, so that the immediate family members can get the best welfare and honor that the family is extremely proud of.

Chiang Kai-shek heard this, sighed in his heart, for several years, he was not the slightest surprise at An Yi's endless military strategy, and gradually became very adaptable, but An Yi's introduction, or he was deeply moved and shocked, Chiang Kai-shek knew the preciousness of pilots, it is precisely because of the constraints of pilots, the Central Air Force has not been able to grow step by step according to the original plan, so Chiang Kai-shek had to agree to separate the aviation major in the Whampoa Military Academy, and together with the aviation school in Hangzhou, the Central Aviation School directly under the Aviation Administration was formed, However, under the constraints of lack of funds, the aviation school cadets get less than 30 hours of flight training in a year, which is less than one-fifth of the Syrian Aviation School, and it is even more incomparable with the four flight regiments under An Yi's command, and it is also far behind the Syrian Aviation School in terms of teachers, teaching conditions, equipment and facilities, and other aspects.

A series of problems restricting the development of the Chinese Air Force have always been an important reason for Chiang Kai-shek and all the generals of the Aviation Administration to try to take back the Syrian Aviation School, but the Syrian Aviation School was established step by step from scratch by An Yi out of his own pocket, and the Central Committee and the Aviation Administration did not contribute a penny and did not contribute a penny. Far beyond the sum of the Central Aviation School, the Air Defense School, the Surveying and Mapping School and the Quartermaster School, and the professional setting is scientific and well-taught, so excellent that Chiang Kai-shek can't bear to hurt the slightest interest of the Syrian Aviation School, plus An Yi faced the Aviation Administration's attempt to merge the Syrian Aviation School into the Central Aviation School, no one dared to bring it up in front of An Yi, so this matter has been delayed until now, Chiang Kai-shek did not mention it again, but from An Yi's unreserved whispered report just now, he saw An Yi's sincerity, Realize what An Yi's potential means.

"I won't go to the arsenal, let's go to the test flight regiment and have a look!"

Chiang Kai-shek's words, the whole itinerary changed accordingly, the convoy drove out of the gate of the aircraft factory, crossed the majestic Minjiang Bridge, and soon came to the valley opposite the Anjiajun Air Base, the convoy passed through a cement avenue covered with camouflage nets more than 40 meters wide, and finally came to the door of the two-story office building of the assembly branch factory built at the foot of the mountain with green walls and green tiles.

Walking to the gate of the mountain made of boulders and reinforced concrete, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but stop, looked up at the arched gate more than 30 meters high and 40 meters wide, and asked An Yi in a burst of exclamations: "How much time did it take to build this assembly workshop?" How much money is spent? ”

"After the completion of the entire project, the 5,800 soldiers of the two engineering regiments spent a full year and three months, and the construction cost alone cost more than 4.8 million yuan, and if the auxiliary projects in the later stage are added, the air defense fortifications, permanent guard posts, observation posts, radar stations, and so on on on the top of the mountain and its surroundings will cost tens of millions of yuan." An Yi replied in a low voice.

Chiang Kai-shek gasped, only then did he know that the core of Jiangbei's aircraft factory was here, and suddenly realized that his Nanchang aircraft factory was no longer worth mentioning, and An Yi had put a lot of effort into the establishment of this assembly workshop, which was undoubtedly a full understanding and preparation for the possible crisis of the future war, and truly achieved preparedness and prevention, so that Chiang Kai-shek had a deeper understanding of An Yi's resourcefulness and foresight.

"Good! Good, good, good! ”

Chiang Kai-shek, who was not good at rhetoric, had four consecutive "good" words, which had completely indicated his attitude and mood at the moment.

An Yi asked in a low voice, "Headmaster, should we go in first and have a look?" After reading it, I can still have time to go to the Weapons Research Institute. The principal will fly to Guiyang tomorrow, and the arsenal will not be able to see it for the time being, so let's take a look at the Ordnance Research Institute, where you can see some research and development directions of modern weapons. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded: "Good!" Hurry up, you lead the way. ”

"Yes! Principal, please...... Mr. Ziwen, what are you looking at? Please! ”

An Yi finally shouted, still looking at Song Ziwen with a shocked face on the top of the mountain gate.

Song Ziwen looked at An Yi when he heard the reputation, and when he saw An Yi's smug smile, he immediately straightened his face and walked towards Chiang Kai-shek with his hands behind his back.
