The pilots of different aircraft have a certain commonality, but there are huge differences, and commercial aircraft can train a group of pilots while meeting the needs of fast transportation, which is quite critical. The Northwest has been secretly training pilots, some of the army is not equipped with new aircraft, the oldest models have not been discharged, they have been playing a role, they shoulder the responsibility of training more and stronger pilots, in just a few years, the Northwest has trained a total of 40,000 pilots of all kinds, and it is still increasing.

On the one hand, because the number of the Northwest Army is gradually expanding, the range of materials that can be selected is much broader, on the other hand, the Northwest compulsory education and nutrition program, so that the physical fitness of the Northwest people, compared with 6 years ago, has been greatly improved, which is not obvious in adults, in the current 12 to 18 years old between the age of teenagers, the improvement is extremely amazing, milk, protein, excellent meat, improved dietary structure, and even the selection of special forces has increased a lot.

40,000 pilots is really not much compared to China's huge territory and maritime territory, and in the future, every military-level unit above the second class will be assigned to a flight regiment and a flight regiment, which is about 160 aircraft, including 40 fighters, 80 light bombers, and 40 attack planes.

Yang Yuanzhao promoted the development of the Northwest Air Force, and naturally brought the classification of later generations of aircraft into this era, which belonged to the military level, all of which were light fighters, mainly for the escort of bombers, and light bombers could also take off from field airfields with bombs of 2-3 tons. Almost 1.2 tons of armor has been added, allowing the Strike Fighter to dive and attack. In the face of anti-aircraft machine gun attacks, it is still able to force a dive. Attack with relative precision and hit local forts.

Although it is said that in this era, only the Northwest and Germany are equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, but this thing is really not a secret weapon, as long as you have seen it, it will definitely be imitated, just like the airships in the past.

The superiority of the Northwest over armor. In an extreme experiment, the attack aircraft located on the ground faced an attack from 24 anti-aircraft machine guns lying flat 500 meters away, although more than 10,000 rounds of bullets were hit, but none of the bullets attacked the core position of the attack aircraft, demonstrating its ability, and also making the army completely like this little guy who was freshly baked less than 1 year.

According to the calculation of a second-class army and a flying regiment, the northwest will have 6 million troops in the future. More than 300 divisions, nearly 150 flying regiments, and nearly 23,000 aircraft of various types are needed, and these are only the most basic ground attack aircraft and bombers. Plus fighters, long-range bombers, medium-range bombers. Even HNA, conservative estimates. The number of aircraft will at least quadruple to 69,000. As for the pilots, at least 140,000 should be selected, and at least 120,000-150,000 will be selected.

The training of pilots is not overnight, from the most primary, to the advanced, and then to the piloting of the plane to go out, which requires a series of training, the northwest personnel are precious, it is impossible to use the tactics of the sea of people, the big waves and sand, and the number of shootdowns for the other side, so the necessary training must be advanced layer by layer, and the gap of almost seventy or eighty percent must be completely solved in the next one or two years.

Yang Yuanzhao knows that in history, Japan during World War II was almost on par with the United States at the beginning, but the reason why it could not keep up in the later period was, on the one hand, the lack of industrial heritage, unable to burst out enough production to form a sea of aircraft, and on the other hand, it was not a shortage of pilots, and the suicidal charge of the final kamikaze, on the one hand, the number of pilots was insufficient, and they really flew the planes into the sky, and they were not opponents of the United States, and on the other hand, they could not produce more qualified aircraft.

Now that we have seen the problem, how to solve it, the best solution is to produce enough strategic bombers, so that the army can carry out adaptive training, but 3,000 planes, more than 3 billion fixed investment, this is not the northwest can not get out, but go all out to train two to three qualified crews, it is another 3 billion investment, this is a big article, a qualified strategic bomber crew, from fuel to aerial bombs, in the take-off training, the cost of the sea, this investment is really not small.

According to Yang Yuanzhao's plan, 3,000 strategic bombers are enough, and there may be 6,000 medium bombers, which together constitute the bombing firepower of the Northwest Air Force, and the demand for fighters is more, in order to equip a fighter formation that can escort strategic bombers, a heavy interceptor and fighter is needed.

If there is no airplane, you can find a way, or buy it, or build it, if you don't have enough pilots, if you don't have enough numbers, how can you form a scale, people are always the most difficult to replenish, but machines, as long as there are factories, raw materials, and production technology, these can be produced at any time.

For this, Yang Yuanzhao still proposed a more radical method, that is, to hide troops in the people, not only the Air Force, but also the future Navy and Army, the trawl fishing boat project, for the northwest to prepare a large number of age-appropriate navy, but also harvested a lot of marine fish, greatly supplemented the entire national dining table, this best of both worlds plan, is very appreciated by the Navy, and then gave Yang Yuanzhao a huge inspiration, promoted to all arms.

A series of national shooting ranges approved by him personally began as early as 1912, based on civilian shooting ranges, opened in the entire northwest, and even in other places, a total of more than 6,000 were built, with the training of professional athletes and ordinary excellent gunmen as the leading, in the form of professional leagues in later generations, held in townships, counties, cities, provinces, and countries at all levels of competitions, and the winners could form teams to participate in higher-level competitions.

All the participation costs are borne by the northwest independently, the total prize money at the county level is 40,000, the top ten can win the prize, 400,000 at the municipal level, 4 million at the provincial level, as for the national level, up to 24 million, although the annual investment is huge, but the harvest is also huge, in just 2 years, the accumulation has trained a large number of shooting professionals for the army, basically the top ten at the city level, after the competition training, can successfully enter the army, or snipers, or marksmen, first-class talent.

From the beginning of the establishment of the Northwest, the spirit of martial arts, has been integrated into the blood of the Northwest, the establishment of the Northwest, from the era of the establishment of Baotou, soaked in blood, the original Baotou, faced with more than 15,000 horse thieves, according to many people, when facing this, many people will choose, retreat, but the Northwest rushed up, with the blood of tens of thousands of people, to pay tribute to the glory of the Northwest, and then, against the Beiyang, against Russia, the same, with iron and blood watered the flower of the Northwest.

The purpose of the shooting school is to train excellent shooters, most of whom are first-class talents, most of them have entered the army, and a small number of them will represent China and participate in world-class competitions to help China win gold and silver in the future. The construction of this school is just one of the many projects in the northwest to hide soldiers and civilians. In the same way, driving schools and flight schools have also blossomed in the northwest, with more than 22,000 driving schools in the northwest, some of which are special driving schools that specialize in teaching the driving of tanks and armored vehicles, which are two directions for military training. There are also more than 300 flight schools, and there are also people who are actively enrolling.

The reason why so many people are willing to join the system in the northwest has to mention Yang Yuanzhao's wage policy again, relying on high wages, the northwest has attracted a large number of workers, not like the rise of the industrial revolution in Europe and the United States, the sheep and man-eating movement adopted, with blood and suppression, to liberate the peasants from the land, with survival of the fittest and naked blood, let them from the traditional agricultural production, into industry, and then increase income for industry.

This is the normal state of capital, and it is no wonder that Marx's theory of capital specifically mentions that from the day capital is born, blood and filth are dripping from every pore.

Yang Yuanzhao is a traverser who has broken all this, standing in the body of the hundred years of experience and countless giants in the future, he knows very well that in order to improve production efficiency, reduce the consumption of unit labor in products, and create a large business circle with the help of this tax, business and other conditions as a whole, so that the society is stable, the contradictions will not intensify, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the initial investment is larger, and the technology also needs to lead.

The former, the huge scale of gold and precious metals that were broken down by the all-in-one machine, was solved, and the latter, at least for a hundred years, was not a problem at all.

According to the data in last year's industrial summary before the First Five-Year Plan, the average disposable income of the urban population in the northwest jurisdiction reached 1,440 yuan last year, with an average of 120 yuan per month, while the Baotou Special Economic Zone reached 2,160 yuan, with an average of 180 yuan, and as for the urban area of Baotou, it was almost 240 yuan.

In this way, in the current state, commodity prices in the northwest are relatively stable. Rice 0.18 yuan, flour 0.15 yuan, bicycle 24 yuan, pork 0.86 yuan, even if it is a commercial house, it is not more than 80 yuan per square meter, this is still Baotou urban area, suburbs and other places, will not exceed 20 yuan, just food, clothing, housing and transportation, huge wages, can not be spent at all, most of them are invested in the bank, but after more, it is natural, it is invested in other fields, which is also the key to the popularity of these projects, after all, the cultural and sports life of the rest of the employment, the northwest is a little poor.
