Chapter 396: The Value of the Feng Army
"Dashuai, you can't hide anything from your old eyes, the Japanese are absolutely unwilling to lose the lucrative oil extraction industry, according to their temperament, maybe they will use force to force, we can't always passively accept the move, so I think we should deter the Japanese first, let them put away their bad thoughts, obediently return to the negotiating table, we can successfully achieve the goal."
"Well, this is also a way, you arrange it first, and I will personally participate in it at that time."
"Dad, can you give me a chance, I want to try it in the Air Force."
Zhang Zuolin glanced at Zhang Xueliang and said, "Han Qing, the Air Force is a new branch of the Feng Army, do you know about aircraft?" ”
Zhang Xueliang shook his head, and when he saw that Lao Zhang's face was a little bad, he hurriedly said: "Dad, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, don't we have so many talents, usually listen to their opinions more, and then study more, you will always figure it out." ”
Zhang Tinglan also smiled on the side: "Marshal, Han Qing is enthusiastic, the Air Force is new, those designers and pilots are all young people, and then arrange a young commander, maybe there will be a more haode effect, you can agree when you are old." ”
Zhang Zuolin thought for a while, and then nodded: "Little Liuzi, I will appoint you as the director of the Fengtian Flight Bureau now, if you do a good job of the plane, the Air Force will also be presentable, you are the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, if it doesn't work, I will remove you, and it will be useless for anyone to intercede at that time!" ”
"Don't worry!" Zhang Xueliang excitedly saluted a military salute.
Everything was almost arranged, and Zhang Tinglan also sent invitations to the main foreign institutions in Mukden, inviting them to come and see the air show, including the Japanese Consul General Akajiri Shosuke, almost all the major powers were invited.
After getting the invitation, Akajiri Massuke immediately frowned. Now China and Japan are in a raging quarrel over the soybean issue, and the Japanese government has already received the report, and Tokyo is also furious.
There was a revolution in Russia, which caused the Japanese to suffer very heavy losses, the Japanese provided Russia with a large amount of munitions, and in order to open the door to Russia, the Japanese threw a lot of silver to buy off the Russian upper class, and all these payments were due to the majority party revolution. The bamboo basket is empty.
All of them, including the emperor of Japan, were alarmed, and the whole of Japan was in a state of turmoil, and the major military-industrial enterprises needed to inject funds to help tide over the difficulties. There's a limit to what you can invest outside, and whatever you may say. The South Manchurian Railway and the Bank of Korea are on the list of bailouts. The ranking is also ahead of the oil mill.
The Japanese government has given instructions to Akajiri Massuke to have no money, but it is necessary to make Mukden give in, and it is necessary to provide soybeans to save Japan's oil industry.
To put it bluntly, this requirement is to let the horse run without giving the horse grazing. Akajiri Massuke was already worried. The Fengtian government is smelly and hard, and it is not at all a solution that can be solved by simple intimidation, and the oil extraction industry cannot but be saved. Akajiri Shosuke could only contact the Kwantung Army, and he wanted the Kwantung Army to conduct a military exercise.
Show Japan's powerful force, only in this way, Mukden has the possibility of retreating, but things are unfortunate, before they can set up a position, Mukden has already taken the lead, what kind of air show to be held, all of a sudden poked at Akajiri Massuke's sensitive nerves.
The Mukden government is trying to show Japan Liliang! Akajiri Massuke thought about it again and again, and decided to visit it to see what medicine was sold in the Fengjun gourd, and by the way, to see the strength of the Fengtian Air Force.
In contrast to Akajiri Massuke's suspicions, the representatives of other countries were very interested in Mukden's invitation, and since the Feng army seized the Middle East Road, the countries have increased their attention to the Feng army, and they want to assess whether this new Liliang fighter will have any impact on China, and even the entire Far East.
These powers were all masters of chess, and if there was suddenly one more piece on the chessboard in the Far East, it would be equivalent to countless possibilities, so they were all enthusiastic and readily agreed to Fengjun's invitation.
"Yunhua, it's time for the official air show one day, how are you preparing?"
Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang came to the aircraft experiment site together, since getting the permission of his father Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Xueliang officially became the director of the flight bureau, he was extremely excited, and finally was able to show his skills, he called his friend Feng Yong over, these two young people have a strong interest in aircraft, and now Fengjun has aviation liliang, how can they not pay attention to it, and they all followed Zhang Tinglan to the experimental site.
At this time, I was listening to a fighter plane that had just been assembled and debugged next to the runway, this fighter was undoubtedly quite backward in Zhang Tinglan's opinion, it could only be said that it was a bunch of wooden shelves with an engine, and the cabin was also open, and the only advantage was that it could be used as a convertible car.
However, Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yong were quite excited, they noticed the special features of this plane at a glance, the current aircraft in order to increase lift, most of them use biplanes, and even have triplanes, but the plane in front of them only has a single wing, which makes them feel fresh.
Ba Yuzao also excitedly introduced to them: "This aircraft was designed by us in the United States, and the main features are two points, one is the layout of the single wing, and the other is the configuration of the machine gun. Although the biplane can bring a lot of lift, but the flight speed is slow and the maneuverability is poor, I think the monoplane is the trend of the future, this aircraft has quite good maneuverability, can fight freely in the air. ”
At this point, Ba Yuzao took everyone to the nose position, pointed to the machine gun equipped at the nose, and continued: "The firepower of the aircraft is the foundation of combat effectiveness, according to the reason, the machine gun is installed in the nose position, you can get the most haode shooting vision, but because the nose is blocked by the propeller, it is easy to damage the propeller when shooting, which is a very troublesome thing." Later, we saw reports about the air war in Europe, and also saw some pictures, the Germans had solved this problem, Yu Peng and they studied it for more than a month, and finally came up with a design coordinator to solve this problem. ”
Wang Zhu also said on the side: "It's just an idea, we have made these planes, but they can't be used in the United States, I want to see if it's useful, and I need to verify it." ”
As a rising power, the Americans are very strict in guarding against other backward regions, and they do not want advanced equipment to fall into China's hands. Ba Yuzao was able to produce aircraft parts in the United States, but also relied on the relationship to operate, zuihou was shipped out of the United States in the name of civil aircraft parts, and also stuffed money with US customs, before they were successfully shipped back to China, and if they wanted to test weapons, they had to return to China.
"Then let's experiment now, let's see it too!" Zhang Xueliang said with a smile on the side.
Wang Zhu also nodded, it was Jiang Kui who was in charge of flying the plane, after he entered the cockpit, he started the plane, the plane kept moving forward, and then swayed into the sky.
"This aircraft has a wingspan of 9.51 meters, a length of 7.32 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 600 kilograms, and a flight speed of 130 kilometers. Ba Yuzao explained confidently.
"We don't have to keep our eyes on the European powers, as long as we can overpower our evil neighbor Japan."
"Don't worry, Mr. Humble Yan, the Japanese are not a problem at all." Li Ruyan said with a smile: "The Oriental people don't attach importance to airplanes, at most they are equipped with some seaplanes, which can only be used for reconnaissance, in fact, this is also related to the Japanese government, the sea and land generals have been sharply opposed, if an air force is established, how should their interests be distributed!" ”
While they were chatting, Jiang Kui piloted the fighter plane and circled in the air a few times, making different combat movements, one moment Xiangshang, another Xiangxia, and continuous turns, all showing the characteristics of being very flexible.
Suddenly, Jiang Kui piloted the plane, quickly lowered the altitude, and the machine gun in the nose was aimed at the target on the ground in the distance, and after aiming, a series of bullets were sprayed out.
When the plane climbed again, it was already a mess, Jiang Kui flew over the plane, and flew back unsatisfied, the machine gun fired down again, and after two ravages, more than a dozen paper targets on the ground were shattered.
If this is a person below, there is no doubt that it will be broken and torn apart by the machine gun, seeing this scene, Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yong are both overjoyed, the plane is definitely not just a tool that looks fun, it has terrible lethality, and it is difficult to bring destruction to the enemy, and to become such a commander of Liliang, Zhang Xueliang is also extremely excited.
Jiang Kui piloted the plane and finally returned to the ground in style, Ba Yuzao, Wang Zhu and others quickly rushed over, checked it themselves, and confirmed that there was no problem with their design, and the big guys all showed satisfied smiles.
Ba Yuzao and they hurried up, loaded several other planes with machine guns, and flew shiyan, and then waited for the official air show.
In addition to them, the consul generals of various countries in Mukden, military attache representatives, rushed to the scene, the scene was very lively, Akajiri Massuke saw this, slightly stunned, he didn't want to understand that these countries are so eager.
At this time, Zhang Tinglan had already stood in front of all the guests and said to everyone: "Distinguished guests, the air liliang of the Fengjun here today will be officially established, and this brand-new liliang will be like other Fengjun soldiers, defending the country and protecting the people." It is well known that a revolution has broken out in Russia, the plague of the majority party is spreading to shijie, and the Feng army is obliged to stand at the forefront of the fight against the majority party ......"
