The western suburbs of Changchun City, within a military restricted area. Colorful flags fluttered, full of festive atmosphere. Feng Delin, Feng Yong, Li Jun, Jiang Baili and other high-level officials of the Northeast Governor's Mansion were all present. Feng Yong's three wives also arrived, and they are barely high-level cadres now. It can be said that in this military restricted area, the most powerful group of people in the Northeast have gathered. In front of everyone was a wide square, on which a small platform was erected. Behind this small platform is a huge factory, and all the other factories have the roar of machinery, only the middle group is quiet, and the door is closed.

"Wang Qi! It's almost time, let's get started! Feng Yong stood in the square and said to Wang Qi, the busy Minister of Industry.

"Yes! Young marshal! Wang Qi waved his hand, and the majestic music sounded. The closed door of the factory building behind the small platform slowly rose. In the excited looks of everyone, two strange cars appeared in front of everyone. Although this car is still a little rough compared to the cars purchased by the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce from the West, everyone does not look down on it at all because of its strange appearance, because this is the first batch of cars produced by the Northeast itself. As long as the test run is successful today, it means that the Northeast also has the ability to produce cars, which is a huge technological victory for the Northeast that lacks industrial capacity.

Feng Yong and the others walked to the front of the factory and looked at the two cars carefully, although from the appearance, the two cars were very simple, but the general structure was exactly the same as the cars at this time. Then, under the command of Wang Qi, the two drivers skillfully stepped into the cab and easily started the two cars. This made Feng Yong and his party very excited. You must know that Feng Yong has very strict requirements for the first batch of cars jointly produced by the Ministry of Industry and the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce. That is, from the engine to the parts on the car, it is not allowed to be imported, and all the materials that can be found in the Northeast must be produced by themselves. However, foreign technology can be used, and after the imitation is completed, the technology must be thoroughly understood, and based on these technologies, the Northeast will develop its own automobile industry.

This also greatly extended the time for the advent of Northeast Motors, from the beginning of the imitation road fully assembled and factory, under the condition of recruiting a large number of foreign engineers, it also took nearly three months to barely produce two prototypes. The specific effect can only be determined after trying the car.

Thundered! Listening to the roar of the internal combustion engine, which was exactly the same as that of a foreign car, Feng Yong was overjoyed. In the eyes of outsiders, Feng Yong's requirements for complete state-owned materials are really a bit strict, although cars are luxury goods in the West, and the secrecy of technology is also very high, but the fact of buying parts is not much. The cost of these two humble cars produced according to the conditions required by Feng Yong was much higher than even ten of the most advanced cars in the West. Moreover, they are all imitations of German automotive technology, which brings great difficulty to automotive engineers. This is because Germany was ahead of other countries in terms of technology in the automotive sector during this period.

Tohoku's automobile production this time is basically based on copying German automobile technology. In addition to Germany's more advanced technology, because according to the development of the original time and space, China will soon declare war on Germany, and there is no need to worry about future patent problems if you copy German technology now. Feng Yong knows that the European and American powers attach great importance to patents, and if the Northeast wants to integrate into the world, it must also pay attention to the patent issue in the future.

Call...... Under the expectant gaze of everyone, the strange-looking car slowly drove out of the warehouse, and then flexibly ran to the temporary playground. The two cars are one in front of the other, and the speed is getting faster and faster. The cars of this era certainly cannot be compared with the cars of later generations, but the basic principle of the internal combustion engine has been finalized, although limited to technology, the power of the car is not very large, but it is no problem for the car to smoothly rise to more than 30 miles. Looking at the cars that flexibly crossed the undulating roads, small bridges, and dirt roads, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

"Marshal, Marshal, these two cars are the first batch of vehicles manufactured in the Northeast, please name them." Wang Qi said loudly. This proposal was well received.

Feng Delin and Feng Yong discussed, Feng Delin walked up to the small stage with a smile on his face and said: "Everyone, this is the first car produced since the reunification of Northeast China, and it is also the first car produced in the whole of China. This is definitely a day to remember in Chinese history. Therefore, I decided to name the cars produced in Northeast China as 'Zhonghua', hoping that our Republic of China can run faster and faster like a car, and develop better and better! Feng Delin's brief speech ushered in a round of warm applause.

Feng Delin retreated to the crowd, and the two test cars also returned to the crowd one after another. Feng Yong stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, although the appearance of these two cars is a little strange and they look very simple, they have proved that our Northeast is capable of producing technological items such as automobiles. With these two cars, we have completed the technical reserve of automobiles, but I would like to tell you that our heavy industry in the Northeast has only just started. Our heavy-duty trucks are still being studied and are not far from being produced. The internal combustion train has also completed the technical research, and it can be said that our industrial base is being established step by step. These achievements have been made possible by the efforts of all of you. However, we must not be proud, we must persist in introducing advanced foreign technology, and at the same time, we must develop our own characteristics in Northeast China. Learning from others will never get the most advanced technology, as long as we create advanced technology immediately, that is our own. We should always keep this in mind. ”

After Feng Yong's speech, everyone gathered around the two classic cars to visit. There are even people who know how to drive and try it. Feng Yong couldn't help but give it a try. Although the structure of these two cars, named 'Zhonghua No. 1' and 'Zhonghua No. 2', is relatively simple and not as comfortable to drive as Feng Yong's imported car, after all, the basic framework has been built, and it is also sturdy and durable.

After everyone visited, they gradually left, and only Feng Delin, Feng Yong, Li Jun, Jiang Baili, Wang Qi and Tuoba Huiji were left at the scene.

"Bao Kang, Hui Ji, you need to speed up the design work of the tractor. Northeast China has vast fertile black soil, but there is a severe shortage of labor. And immigration work is not something that can be very effective in a short period of time. Therefore, we must use these machinery and equipment to improve the labor force in Northeast China. You must pay great attention to these aspects. Feng Yong said solemnly. The two nodded, and at this time the United States had already mass-produced tractors for large-scale agricultural production. The grain production of the United States has increased year by year. But Feng Yong, who came from later generations, looked down on the cumbersome crawler tractors of this era. So he wanted the wheeled tractor with strong mobility and traction in later generations. Of course, he will not give up the production of tracked tractors, after all, although this tracked tractor has many shortcomings such as bulky and poor mobility, but this thing is a production prototype of tanks in later generations, which can provide technical reserves for the production of tanks, Feng Yong will certainly not give up stupidly. After experiencing the abundance of materials in later generations, and looking at the era of poor materials, Feng Yong paid unprecedented attention to food production. As the saying goes, if you have food at home, you don't panic. And in this era of war, food is the most important strategic material. In addition, although the Northeast is bitterly cold, the vast Northeast Plain and the thick and fertile black soil have laid a solid foundation for the Northeast to become a huge granary. Moreover, as early as when Feng Yong was in charge of Changchun, the provincial government had already established the Ministry of Agriculture, which was not only used for the distribution of land, but also for the task of improving agricultural equipment and cultivating excellent seeds. Although because of the short time, the Ministry of Agriculture has not achieved any results in breeding, but in terms of agricultural tools they did spend a lot of energy, the provincial government Ministry of Agriculture through the Western Army purchased a large number of cattle and horses from the Mongolian steppe, sent to the Northeast Plain, greatly improving the level of the common people to use animal power. The grain growth is better than in previous years, coupled with the low tax in the Northeast, it can be said that the people of the Northeast are full of hope for the future.

"Yes! According to the graphics of the rubber tires conceived by the young marshal, the project has been declared to the Woniushan Chemical Research Bureau. Mr. Ko has pledged to make it the most important research work in the near future. Wang Qi said confidently. You must know that Woniushan Chemical Industry Bureau is the most advanced chemical research institute in Northeast China. Based on this technology, several large-scale chemical plants have been derived, and all the explosives production technology of the Northeast Arsenal comes from this chemical research bureau. The Chemical Research Bureau led by Gao Caitang and the Mechanical Research Bureau led by Fu Wenchao are the earliest and most technologically advanced scientific research institutions in Northeast China. The standard rifle China Type 16 that the Public Security Corps will be equipped with is the work of the Woniushan Machinery Research Bureau led by Fu Wenchao.

Feng Yong nodded, in a certain period of time, agricultural work will be an important work that cannot be ignored in the Northeast. After all, there is no sufficient food supply, and Feng Yong's desire to maintain an army of hundreds of thousands is a fool's dream. The troops must have a stable logistics supply base in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

"After looking at the cars of basic industry, it's time to see our secret weapon!" Feng Yong said with a smile, and then whoever got into the 'Zhonghua No. 2' car first, naturally there was a driver who drove them to the depths of the military restricted area. The most important thing in the Northeast is land, even if it is easy to occupy such a large piece of land around Changchun City, it can also be seen from here that the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated.

Deep in the military restricted area, there is a wider square, and in the middle there is a concrete-paved runway. At the beginning of the runway, some experts in overalls are debugging something that looks weird.

"Airplanes?" Jiang Baili exclaimed, you must know that when he went to study in the West, he saw airplanes built by flying enthusiasts, and at that time he only sighed at the richness of human imagination. But now on the European battlefield, the aircraft has entered the war as a new weapon, and it has achieved considerable success. This gave Jiang Baili the idea that he was likely to develop into an independent service that was not weaker than the navy and the army. He has been thinking about whether to discuss this matter with Feng Yong, even if the Northeast cannot produce planes for the time being, he can also collect some technical information. After all, the planes of various countries are also new types of things, and their technical level is limited, and with the capabilities of the Northeast, they may not be able to make them. Unexpectedly, he hadn't said it yet, Feng Yong had already made the prototype.

"Big brother's eyesight is good! Yes, this is the first plane in our Northeast. We do spend a lot of money on this thing. The remuneration of these so-called experts alone is a huge expense. Feng Yong said with a smile, looking in a good mood.

"Young Marshal, you don't just produce planes for fun, do you? This aircraft has great strategic value, and if it is well developed, it can even become an independent branch of the army. Jiang Baili said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Feng Yong and Li Jun glanced at each other, and Li Jun said with a smile: "The hero sees the same thing, the strategic vision of the eldest brother is powerful, and he hits the nail on the head all of a sudden, of course we don't produce planes for fun!" Rather, it is to create an air force. The industrial base of our northeast is weak, and it is impossible to catch up with the European and American powers in a short period of time. Although our military enterprises are developing rapidly, they are limited by the industrial level and have never been able to compare with developed countries. But after all, aircraft is an emerging field, although countries have begun to pay attention to it, but the depth is not deep, we are now completely in time. If we have world-class advanced aircraft in the northeast, and then set up a powerful new army, it will definitely be a trump card to defend the territory. ”

Feng Delin was a little confused. In his mind, he still believed that artillery was the most powerful branch of the army. Can this weird-looking thing in front of him really fly freely in the sky like Feng Yong said? Possess great potential? Can it become an independent branch of the army and navy? Originally, Feng Delin was puzzled. But seeing that Jiang Baili also attached great importance to this thing, Feng Delin began to attach importance to this thing called an airplane in his heart.

You know, who Jiang Baili is! That is the famous Chinese non-commissioned officer Sanjie, the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, and the military theory is a figure that President Yuan Da does not dare to underestimate. Being able to attract the attention of such a person shows that this aircraft really has development potential.

"Let's stop talking! Soon our first aircraft in the Northeast will be test-flighted! You know, this plane is loaded with two light machine guns, if the experiment can be successful, our Northeast can have a world-class advanced aircraft. ”

"Loaded with weapons on the plane?" Jiang Baili gasped. You know, how much effort it takes for Western countries to be able to add weapons to their planes! The first aircraft in the Northeast can solve this problem, and the technical level of the Northeast is so strong? Jiang Baili looked at Feng Yong suspiciously.

"Let's look at the test flight first, and when the test flight is over, I'll tell you why." Feng Yong said mysteriously. Jiang Baili had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, it seemed that there was really something greasy in this.
