At nine o'clock in the morning on December 23, 1938, Bai Shujie asked Damanzhiwa to send a telegram:

"Yesterday, Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe, who returned to power by the Japanese invaders, announced that the so-called three principles of 'good neighborliness and friendship,' 'joint defense against communism,' and 'economic cooperation' are nothing more than the story of a farmer and a snake. How can we occupy our country's territory, kill my compatriots, and have blood feuds for all generations? As long as there is an aggressor, the fighting will not stop for a moment. ”

"Of course, the Chinese nation has always been kind to others, and this good tradition has never disappeared. As long as all the Japanese invaders on the land of China, including the north and south of the Great River, and inside and outside the Great Wall, are withdrawn, the possibility of restoring good-neighborliness and friendship will naturally appear. ”

"The economy on the island is close to collapse, and the people at the bottom are struggling to make a living. In particular, a fire south of Tokyo has destroyed one-fifth of the Japanese invasion of their war potential. Fumiro Konoe actually thought he was clever and took the whole world for a fool. It is ridiculous to throw out three principles at this time, trying to lure some people to surrender! ”

"The Chinese nation is fighting for its own survival, and this is a critical juncture involving the survival of the nation. Once again, I would like to warn certain people in the southwestern government that if anyone dares to defy the condemnation of the whole world and openly provoke a civil war and weaken their own national defense strength, our ministry will certainly not sit idly by! Bai Shujie. ”

The timely dispatch of this telegram was in the hope that Chiang Kai-shek would not make a mistake himself. If this two-faced guy is at this juncture, he has something to make peace with the little devil. It is possible for the little devil to free his hands and turn around to deal with himself!

Of course, the last thing Bai Shujie wants to see is that Jiang someone is trying to destroy the New Fourth Army, create the Southern Anhui Incident, and set off a rebellion. The climax made the little devil hide in the dark and sneer.

Although there were changes in the enemy situation in the north and south, because Bai Shujie ordered all troops to "maintain an appropriate attitude of restraint", 1938 finally passed quietly and ushered in New Year's Day 1939.

This is the second New Year's Day of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force's entry into the Korean Peninsula, and Bai Shujie delivered a New Year's message on the unprecedented Tongguò cable broadcast, congratulating the military and civilians on a happy New Year.

The past year has indeed deserved his joy.

There have been no major military mistakes, considerable gains have been made in foreign affairs, the military industry has developed steadily, and the defense capability has been greatly enhanced.

The most important issue is people's livelihood, North Korea has completed land reform in an all-round way, and for the first time, it has achieved self-sufficiency in agricultural production.

Although this is based on the exemption from military rations, next year there is no need to import grain to subsidize peasants, and it can save $4 million in foreign exchange, which is a huge progress.

Peasants are Bai Shujie's biggest foundation, a powerful force to establish a solid rear, and also a source base for the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force.

The standard of living improved, and for the first time, the peasants experienced the happiness of turning over and being the masters, and recognized from the bottom of their hearts that the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force belonged to their own soldiers. At the same time, the people's awareness of protecting the fruits of their labor has finally been strengthened.

The problem of the source of soldiers, which is the most troublesome for Xian Yu Tongwu, has finally been solved, and more than 70,000 young people have taken the initiative to join the army throughout the year! Among them, the number of girls who ran to the armed forces departments of each county to ask to join the army reached a staggering 58,000!

After asking Bai Shujie for approval, the Korean People's Liberation Army formally established a female division, with division commander Han Qingfen and deputy division commander Huang Qiaoyun, under the jurisdiction of 8 independent female infantry regiments and 2 mobile air defense regiments, with a total strength of 26,972 people.

The First Division of the DPRK People's Liberation Army (PLA) has finally been fully strengthened, with a total strength of 16,782 men under its command, including an infantry regiment, a machine gun regiment, an artillery regiment, a railway regiment, an armored vehicle regiment, a guard battalion, a reconnaissance battalion, a baggage battalion, and an engineer battalion.

At this point, the Korean People's Liberation Army is no longer an empty shelf, it has been justified, and the two divisions combined, a total of 43,754 people.

Bai Shujie also issued an order: From now on, the 1st Division of the DPRK People's Liberation Army will be fully engaged in front-line defense, mainly to strengthen the defense of the junction between Liu Zhiliang's 3rd Division and Wei Chong's 4th Division of the Feilong Expeditionary Force, and to monitor the enemy on the front line of Maoshan, Wonsan, Wenchuan, Yuping, Gaoyuan, and Yongxing in the east.

To put it bluntly, that is, to defend the back of the Wyvern Expeditionary Force Command, and at the same time protect Pyongyang. After six months of military training, eight infantry regiments were stationed in various counties to take over the management of public order in the occupied areas of North Korea and to assume police work in peacetime.

The police corps of police chief Gao Erwa and the public security corps of public security chief Wan Yiwen are mainly to protect the security of Pyongyang City and the banks of the Taedong River, because this is the core part of the Feilong Expeditionary Force.

In the Jewish village of Dongsili, the first phase of temporary construction was finally completed before the arrival of winter, and more than 700 people basically went to normal life.

Despite the poor temporary living conditions, a magnificent church, towering halfway up the mountain, has become a landmark building on the eastern outskirts of Pyongyang.

Bai Shujie never entered the church, not in the past, and not now. He came to the Jewish village mainly to congratulate the New Year on the New Year of Mun Ohers, the chief engineer of the first steel mill in Pyongyang, and to see the banker Thorpe Bloom and the shipowner Besa Schwartz in Bremen.

"Commander-in-Chief, you've just arrived! Let you see what I stumbled upon. Munn O'Hes was fiddling with two small objects in his hands, and he was obviously excited: "In the process of implementing Yàn special steel, I discovered this kind of permanent magnet after strong magnetization, which is very useful for the development of magnetic detectors in the future!" ”

Permanent magnets? Bai Shujie's heart moved, as if he remembered something, but he didn't catch it all of a sudden.

As a result, without waiting for Bai Shujie to figure it out, Meng En had already put the things in his hand, pulled Bai Shujie and left, and soon came to his personal room.

Helicopter models!

"It's a one-to-five model!" Munn Ohris excitedly introduced: "When I was working on Yàn Special Steel, I found this formula of steel, which has very high strength, so I thought of the fan blades of the propeller. I then built a 32-horsepower miniature engine to test the aircraft I had designed. ”

When Bai Shujie saw the helicopter, he also looked extremely excited. In the current era when there are no submarine-launched weapons, the best aircraft for anti-submarine warfare is a helicopter. It's a pity that I can't find a special steel that can make zuò rotors, so I have to give up.

"Mr. Mun, what are your practical results?"

"Mr. Commander-in-Chief, the main items of balance, handling, and hovering have been tested." Munn Ohhs smiled mysteriously: "Please come inside, you will know how!" ”

Bai Shujie didn't know what the hell was going on with Mun Ohers, but scientists were weird, and that was normal. If you can't be whimsical, then don't call it a scientist.

"This is the first turboshaft engine that I processed from the special steel I made with my own formula, and the effective output power can reach 810 horsepower!" Munn O'Hes has some regrets: "It's a pity that there are no matching pipeline manufacturers and no professional gear manufacturing companies, and it is too difficult for me to slowly make zuò by hand." ”

"Mr. Munn, there are many places you haven't been to because you've just arrived." Bai Shujie concealed the excitement in his heart and seemed very calm: "Think about it, I want to maintain the normal flight of the plane, and I also want to build a large warship, if there is no gear production plant, no oil pipeline production plant, how can it be realized?" ”

"My biggest difficulty right now is that I can't produce high-power engines. As long as you come up with the design standard, I can arrange a supporting factory to produce a batch of spare parts for you. ”

"Of course, if you think the conditions are ripe, we can also set up an engine manufacturer for you. Then with this as the core, all the downstream plants are integrated into a standard process. That's when mass production becomes possible. ”

Munn Ohhs was a little impatient: "Since the commander-in-chief has thought about it for a long time, I hope that this factory can be set up as soon as possible." This will greatly promote the development of various new engines in the future. ”

"I have two issues that I have yet to solve." Bai Shujie nodded: "First, there is a lack of skilled workers, and I hope to bring back a group of people from Europe this time." ”

"Second, when you talk about this kind of plane that can take off vertically, let's call it a helicopter. I'll hand you a set of drawings tomorrow, along with the corresponding technical indicators. If you can understand the spirit inside, I will immediately give an order to officially form an aircraft factory! ”

When Bai Shujie saw a huge turboshaft engine, he was actually extremely shocked.

The spirit of a scientist is no worse than that of any Predator. In order to show their research results, they can actually process various parts by hand, and then come up with the first finished product, just hoping to be recognized by the outside world!

Bai Shujie immediately returned to his headquarters, then closed the door and began to draw. Scientists are real people, and it is impossible to come to the void. Said to hand in the drawings tomorrow, then it will be done.

However, Bai Shujie did not find it difficult, because he was just "drawing" the drawings, and he did not need to lose many brain cells. This set of drawings was given by Bai Shujie to Monn O'Hes for practical use. As long as you can succeed, the drawings that are really needed are the ones that follow!

Mi-2 helicopter, front hatch, rear hatch, single turboshaft engine 710 horsepower, 4 blades of rotor system, front three-point fixed landing gear.

The length of the aircraft is 11.94 meters, the height of the aircraft is 3.75 meters, the diameter of the rotor is 14.56 meters, the diameter of the tail rotor is 2.70 meters, the empty weight is 2402 kg, the maximum take-off weight is 3700 kg, and the climb rate is 4.5 m/s.

The practical ceiling is 4000 meters, with a ground effect hovering ceiling of 2000 meters, and a non-ground effect hovering ceiling of 1000 meters; The cruising speed is 190 kilometers per hour, the maximum speed is 210 kilometers per hour, and the range is 797 kilometers.

Getting the drawings handed over by Bai Shujie, Munn Ohers didn't pay much attention to it at first. When I opened it and looked at it, especially after seeing the three views and anatomical analysis, I was suddenly surprised: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, what school did you graduate from?" ”

Smiling slightly, without answering the question, Bai Shujie changed the topic: "My idea is to do the best if you want to do it; Do what others don't have! When we engage in scientific research, the most important thing is to have an innovative spirit. If you follow the steps of others, you will never be able to become a grandmaster. ”

"My idea is just a basic type, and there is still great room for improvement in the future. Of course, this is based on the fact that you can develop the best material formulation, and at the same time you can develop the best engine. ”

"I have the same point of view as you, this kind of aircraft that can take off and land vertically, and can hover in the air, will definitely have a broad future and can be used in any harsh environment."

"The bearing factory, the pipeline factory, the electronics factory, the foundry, the mold factory, I have already given orders. As soon as you come up with the drawings, they can start production. I want to see a validator before I can decide what to do next. ”

Munn Ohers nodded: "The main parts of the fuselage, rotors, and bearings, the commander-in-chief has an accurate number in the drawings, and the rest is for me to adjust the drawings of the engines accordingly to achieve mutual adaptation of the two." I think that in three months, there should be a verification machine to participate in the real thing. ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
