In Yang Rui's worries, Zhu Luhe showed the latest aircraft pattern, the shape of the plane is completely a copy of the red agricultural plane in the movie Pearl Harbor provided by Yang Rui, but adhering to the tradition of camouflage cover of the Fuxing Army, the plane was painted in white and brown camouflage camouflage, far like a seabird. "It's just that it's two-winged and not single-winged, and the lookout on a Japanese ship must have been surprised to see such a strange seabird."

"The length of the aircraft is 9.48 meters, the wingspan is 15.75 meters, the height is 3.45 meters, and the wing area is 57.6 meters; The empty weight is 1,200 kilograms, and the full take-off weight is 2,100 kilograms; It is powered by a 'Kunlun' 2-type nine-cylinder engine with 240 horsepower after pressurization; it has a maximum speed of 170 km, a range of 630 km, a flight time of 4.2 hours, a maximum ceiling of 2,130 meters, and weapons: a Maxim machine gun, a 645-kilogram 18-inch torpedo, or two 230-kilogram aerial bombs. In order to enhance the structure of the aircraft, the main beam and wing brackets of the aircraft are made of aluminum alloy, which can strengthen the strength of the aircraft while minimizing the weight of the aircraft......"

Hearing that the rusty aluminum-copper alloy was actually used as the main beam of the aircraft, Yang Rui smiled: "The aluminum alloy looks bright, but once it is used, it will rust, you have more than a thousand plus planes, do you have to change it again after a year, this is more than 10 million taels of silver, so you are not afraid of the household to find you trouble?" ”

As if knowing that Yang Rui would say this, Zhu Luhe said with a smile: "Sir, the problem of aluminum alloy rust has been solved." ”

"Solved?" The match that Yang Rui lit put down. "How? This thing has been going on for so many years, and I have thought of countless ways and changed countless recipes. Now it's been solved? ”

"Yes, sir." Zhu Luhe said with a smile, "The solution is not to change the formula, but to coat a thin layer of pure aluminum on the outside of the aluminum alloy, so that the aluminum alloy in the inner layer does not come into contact with the air, so it will naturally not oxidize." ”

"Oh...... It's as simple as that? The solution was surprisingly simple, Yang Rui just didn't believe it. He didn't know that this copper-aluminum alloy was the Dura aluminum he had been looking for. I thought it was because there was no magnesium added to cause corrosion. In fact, starting from the first generation of aluminum alloy Dura aluminum, to the grade Dura aluminum used before World War II, that is, the aluminum alloy with magnesium in Yang Rui's memory. The solution is to coat the outer layer of aluminum alloy with a layer of pure aluminum, and it was not until the end of World War II that the duralumin developed by the American aluminum industry completely solved the corrosion problem of aluminum alloy.

Looking at the gentleman, he still didn't believe it. Zhu Luhe said with a smile. "Sir, we have done corrosion tests and pure aluminum can solve this problem completely. Now there is still a question on the side of the aircraft factory, that is, can the exported aircraft be made of aluminum alloy main beams or can only be used steel beams? ”

"Exit?" Yang Rui couldn't imagine that he would still think about exporting.

"It's ready to be exported after the big war." Zhu Luhe solved, "Now the motive of the 12-cylinder is being studied, and the seven-cylinder 180-horsepower aircraft can be exported according to the regulations." After all, the fairing and the machine gun coordinator are just a matter of thinking, and sooner or later this problem will have to be solved by all countries, and our aircraft will be taken seriously by all countries after the war with Japan. This time it should be exported. ”

"It depends on the situation in Germany, although the patent for copper and aluminum alloys was sold to us. But the Germans would not abide by any patents if they really wanted to go to war, as long as they also thought of the method of cladding aluminum, then the secret would soon be known to all countries. Yang Rui said. How much does the total number of aircraft increase when steel main beams are used? ”

"As far as the current prototype is concerned, if the place where aluminum is used is changed to steel, then the weight of the aircraft will increase by 336 kilograms." Zhu Lu and Dao. "This means that the torpedo can only be reduced to more than 300 kilograms, and it affects the flexibility of the aircraft - the use of a star-shaped motive is inherently more clumsy than the use of a rotary cylinder motive, and the Air Force believes that star-motive aircraft are only suitable for torpedo bombers, not for fighters."

What Zhu Luhe said is actually another advantage of the rotary cylinder motor, that is, the static instability of the rotary cylinder motor aircraft is better than that of the star-shaped motor. Static instability is a professional term, refers to the possibility of the aircraft without control, out of the original trajectory, the star motor because it is the blade rotation, the inertia of the movement is less, and the cylinder motor is the cylinder rotation, the inertia of the movement is large. For transport planes and bombers, it is a good thing that the static instability is poor, but for fighters, what is needed is a high degree of static instability within the range that the aircraft can bear, so that the aircraft can be very flexible and not bitten by enemy aircraft.

Yang Rui's hearsay, contradictory statements from later novels, movies, and forums fascinated the air force generals, and the types, functions, tactics, and formations of the planes alone made the newly formed air force units excited, and they were trained every day to confirm these golden and jade words. Yang Rui didn't say anything when he saw that they were fighting, in fact, he also knew a law about the Air Force, that is, the Air Force only played a 10 percent role in warfare, which was the point of view in a book called Modern Warfare Guide, of course, it was impossible for him to turn over this kind of professional military work, it was just that he read the arguments of others on the forum.

Thinking of the unstable nature, Yang Rui lit a cigarette and asked, "What about the fighter that uses the star-shaped motive?" ”

"Now the main thing is to find a way from the aerodynamic layout of the aircraft," Zhu Luhe said. "The research has been resolved, and the fighter can be finalized by the end of the year."

"And what about aviation torpedoes?" Yang Rui also knew that the Japanese planes must be extremely poor, with insufficient horsepower, not old structure, and no machine guns, so the time for the fighters was still not in a hurry.

"It's already been researched." Zhu Luhe said: "We chose a black-headed torpedo powered by compressed gas, with a total weight of 645 kilograms, a charge of 95 kilograms, a voyage of 35 knots, a maximum range of 2,000 meters, a maximum water penetration of 200 kilometers, and a maximum water entry height of 35 meters. Originally, I wanted to use long-nosed torpedoes, but the vibrations of high-altitude drops would disable the self-guidance devices of the torpedoes, so the naval and air forces could only use black-headed torpedoes. ”

"Hmm." Yang Rui had already thought of this question, the torpedo bomber was already conspicuous, and the torpedo did not matter whether it was concealed or not. When he heard that the charge was only ninety-five kilograms, he asked, "Is ninety-five kilograms enough?" ”

"It's not enough to deal with dreadnoughts." Zhu Luhe said: "Like Japan's latest Kongo-class battleship, it is estimated that it will take three or four torpedoes to hit it hard. To sink it, it is estimated that it will take six torpedoes and hit the vital parts. However, the torpedo bombers were dispatched in formation, and when the Japanese were unprepared, they dropped torpedoes at close range, so the hit rate was extremely high. ”

To think of war is to take Japan by surprise, waiting for them to figure out how to deal with submarines and torpedo bombers. The situation of the war has been determined, and it is completely impossible for them to turn the tables in an unfavorable situation. Thinking of this, Yang Rui put aside the text on the table. Then he asked, "Have you ever thought about how much hope we have of victory?" Or rather, the war will easily begin, but how will it end? ”

Zhu Luhe and Liu Boyuan were mainly responsible for tactical and intelligence matters, and the General Staff Department was responsible for strategic issues. Hearing Yang Rui ask like this, Zhu Luhe and Liu Boyuan both looked at Xu Jingxi. After thinking slightly, Xu Jingxi said: "As long as most of the Japanese 6th Army enters the Northeast or Korea, it will be impossible for Japan without mobile forces to move to the 6th Battle, and the Japanese 6th Army that has landed on the shore will be annihilated by us one by one because of the lack of logistics, and the defeat of the Japanese 6th Army will be the defeat of the entire war." Although they have a navy, with the presence of torpedo bombers and submarines along the coast, there is no way to threaten the coastal cities of our country, and it is impossible for us to land on the Japanese mainland, and the war will eventually end with an armistice between the two sides. And the peace talks were concluded under the coordination of various countries.

If there is a war in Europe at this time, then the situation will be in our favor. Because Britain, France, and other countries have no way to interfere in the armistice between China and Japan, they are more of a supervisory nature than a coercive nature, and only the United States has the ability to interfere in the outcome of this war in the entire Pacific region, and the United States has always hated Japan......

"It can only be said that the United States' anti-Japanese stance is only for now, and if Taiwan is occupied by us and the Japanese Sixth Army is surrounded and annihilated by us, then their position will have to be reconsidered." Yang Rui said that this is a question he has been thinking about recently.

"Did you mean that the rabbit died and the dog cooked?" Xu Jingxi said.

"Well, that's what it means." Yang Rui said: "So I've been thinking about how to not deal a fatal blow to the Japanese Navy in the case of victory." If Japan is weakened, then we will not have much value to the United States. The country's economy and industry are very backward, so it is necessary to rely on the help of a certain strong country, and when there is a strong Japan, the United States will help us, but without a strong Japan, then the diplomatic form will be different. Moreover, the reason why those countries in Europe oppose Japan's occupation of us is that they are afraid of seeing a behemoth appear in the Far East, but when we become a behemoth ourselves, then we will be completely isolated......

Yang Rui was a little talking to himself, he thought that he would definitely win the war with Japan, but how to deal with Japan made him very difficult. If Japan is not weakened, then whether the war can be won, he is more worried that Japan will not be bought by Britain and the United States, and China will become the pattern of future generations; And if Japan is defeated, China's diplomatic situation will change immediately, and the international community will become very isolated. Of course, after the end of World War I, there are two countries that are also very isolated, one is the Soviet Union, and the other is Germany after the defeat, these two countries Yang Rui wants to make friends, even if the First World War is always a neutral country, he also wants to win the favor of the Germans, so that the two sides work closely after the war, as for the Soviet Union, it is a large market with a population of more than 100 million, and friendship with it is not only the security of the north, but also the economy.

After the victory against Japan, Yang Rui was very unsure whether the contradictions with Britain, France, the United States and other Entente countries should be eased or dealt with sharply; If war was declared on Germany, he couldn't think of a way to round the relationship after the war; There is also how much to contribute to the First World War, and China can only have a relaxed environment after the war, which he can't grasp now. In any case, the war against Japan is not only a matter between China and Japan, but also involves the situation in the entire Far East, and there are too many things to adjust in the war.

After Yang Rui's words, Xu Jingxi didn't know how to answer, because according to the tradition of the German army, the general staff was not responsible for such high-latitude strategic issues, although because of Leo's existence, China's general staff had not completely degenerated into the German general staff, not asking about politics, and even asking politics to cooperate with the war, but the habit of soldiers not asking about politics was still deeply rooted in the revival army.

Seeing that Xu Jingxi was silent, Yang Rui had no choice but to say, "Do you want to continue to talk about the following things?" Isn't it time to talk about the officer? ”

"Sir, I didn't say anything about this." Zhu Luhe said with a picture of an improvised aircraft carrier. "We are ready to commission the Bethlehem company with the production of two improvised aircraft carriers. The aircraft carrier has a displacement of 12,000 tons, a horsepower of 30,000 horses, and a maximum range of 25 knots. This would be more than most of Japan's capital ships, but the same as its newly built Kongo-class dreadnoughts. The carrier-based aircraft can carry 22 aircraft with folded wings, and the initial estimate of the cost of each aircraft carrier is 8 million taels. ”

The airstrip aircraft carrier was proposed by Yang Rui, and he was mainly worried that he would block Japan's sea routes, and Japan would also block its own sea routes. Guangzhou's exports are the last guarantee, but it would be better if Shanghai could also go out. Shore-based torpedo bombers have a range of only 600 kilometers and a range of only 150 kilometers. Beyond this one hundred and fifty kilometers, there will be aircraft carriers responsible for protection, and the aircraft carriers themselves will be protected. Shore-based aircraft are responsible, that is, two 150 kilometers, and the 300 kilometers extending from Shanghai will be safe. Of course, 300 kilometers away, Japan still intercepted merchant ships. He couldn't help it. The right to dominate the sea cannot be completely solved by land-based aircraft, submarines, and improvised aircraft carriers.

"Two is too many." Yang Rui said that he only felt that with the development of the E plan, more and more funds were needed, especially for the navy, which was simply like a running water. "Order one first, and use it as a test."

Zhu Luhe was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Sir, if there is only one." Then the scope of protection is very limited. ”

"There is no way to limit it, and the trade blockade mainly depends on whether the Americans support it." Yang Rui said. "Just our 100,000-ton merchant ship. There is no difference between protection and non-protection, and it is not enough to use all of them in the Yangtze River and the coast. Besides, we can order a warship of about 10,000 tons in the name of the Peruvian government, but if we order two at once, the Chilean government will be uneasy. When the situation in South America is tense, how will the people over there train? Also, now the navy is spending too much money, and if it goes on like this, the finances will not be able to support it. At present, the budget for the landing operation has not yet been reported, and when this piece is made up, then the reserved budget will be gone. ”

Yang Rui began to limit the budget, Xu Jingxi Zhu Lu and after hearing it were very ashamed, now not to mention hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars can not make the General Staff and the General Rear Department blink, the military expenditure is in tens of millions, tens of thousands, these tens of thousands of taels are just thrown into the army, I really don't know if it's worth it.

Yang Rui looked at them blushing and said: "The aircraft carrier is too new, many technologies are not yet mature, and my ideas have not been verified, so I can't throw all the money away at one time, just build one." It is really not enough, and it is also possible to rebuild merchant ships by the Jiangnan Bureau during the war, remove the superstructure, and build an all-through deck, which can also allow aircraft to take off and land. The entire war plan against Japan should not be so rigid, nothing can be completely determined before the war, what we have to do is to react quickly to the new situation and find countermeasures. Okay, let's talk about the candidates for this landing on the island. ”

Yang Rui turned the topic to the candidates, this is the responsibility of the General Staff, Xu Jingxi said: "The landing operation on the island is extremely complicated, and now among the generals of the various armies, the General Staff believes that it is more suitable for Zhengrui, he is good at disruptive warfare, and he has rich combat experience......

The person picked out by the General Staff was actually 6 Dream Bear, Yang Rui smiled and said: "Isn't the state pith appropriate?" What is he responsible for? ”

"The state is responsible for the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang theaters, and beware of the Japanese army's 6-6 operations." Xu Jingxi said. "There are not many troops on the Fujian side, and it is appropriate for Zheng Rui to be in charge of the whole campaign, and the rest of the troops will be drawn from the best and most flexible officers. In addition, the officers that the gentleman is looking for will also join the landing force. ”

Xu Jingxi said and took out three resumes, the top one is Zhu Jiande, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is from the original ninth town of Yunnan, which is now the 29th Division, with the rank of major; The other is Li Zongren, who graduated from the Guangxi 6th Army Academy, and is a second lieutenant in the military academy; The last one is Bai Chongxi, when he was in a big uprising last year, he actually joined the student army, traveled thousands of miles to the north, saying that he wanted to support the revival army, and later entered the Wuchang Reserve Military Academy, just a student soldier, a nervous and immature face on the photo, really not like the legend of Xiao Zhuge in later generations.

Zhu Jiande is a native of Sichuan and served in the army in Yunnan, while Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are from Guangxi, and the environment in which the three of them grew up is in a subtropical mountain and forest area. Of course, these three famous generals of later generations may also fold their wings in Taiwan, if this is the case, Yang Rui will only regret it, but he is not prepared to do too much protection, famous generals are tempered, and if they are not put into the furnace of war, famous generals will only be unknown.

"Okay, after training, arrange them to the landing unit." Yang Rui said lightly, making it impossible to tell whether he cared about these three people or not. After he finished speaking, he said, "If it's okay, then let's stop here today." The shipyard matter will be implemented later, and Li Zilong will go to invite the people you talked about later, and I will have a good talk with them first. ”

"Yes! Mr. Xu Jingxi saluted a few times, and then went out.

The whole country is a game of chess, and even the whole world is a game of chess. After the military meeting, Yang Rui didn't think about the affairs of the famous generals, but began to think about the shipyard. At present, except for Ye Chonglu, who wants to set up a large shipyard, the financial resources of several other people are very limited, even Ye Chonglu, he is buying bonds and running other industries, and the money that can be invested in the shipyard is not much. How do you work with these people, is it a loan, or a joint venture? Yang Rui was a little undecided.

Except for Zhu Zhiyao, no one else dares to rashly set up a shipyard with a debt, unless it is supported by orders; Although the joint venture is a good way, but one is not good, and another Sheng Xuanhuai will make a M wave, which is also troublesome, and it is extremely common for state-owned assets to be embezzled in later generations.

While thinking about these questions, Yang Rui asked Li Zilong to find those people, and it was only at night that these people were taken to the Yin'an Palace.

"Prime Minister, this is Viscount Ye Chonglu, an overseas Chinese businessman in the Philippines...... This is Zhu Zhiyao, the general manager of the Qì factory in Shanghai...... This is Gu Shunzhang, the general office of the Hankou Yangtze Machinery Factory...... This is Tan Liting, the general office of Guangzhou Jiangzhou Shipping Company...... Finally, this is Chen Taochuan, the director of Junhe Anji Qì Factory. After dinner, Li Zilong brought these people who wanted to open a shipyard to Yang Rui, and then introduced them one by one, these people saw Yang Rui for the first time, a little uneasy and a little excited, especially Zhu Zhiyao, when he was begging for help, the prime minister actually summoned him overnight, and he was very excited.

After giving his hand, Yang Rui looked at the somewhat nervous people: "Don't stand, sit first, sit first." After that, he himself sat down, and then said: "You are all shipbuilding, or have some understanding of the shipbuilding industry, so I will not turn around." In addition to the Shanxi industrial base, another key industry in the government's industrial planning is shipbuilding.

At present, the total tonnage of China's ships is only 280,000 tons, of which the total tonnage of ships is less than 100,000 tons, while the total tonnage of ships in neighboring Japan is 1.58 million tons, of which nearly 1.3 million tons are ships. In terms of foreign trade volume, there is not much difference between the two countries, but the difference in the amount of merchant ships held by the two countries is still related to the status of the country and the government's policy. Originally, in the first phase of the plan, the government was only ready to build three shipyard bases, but in consideration of the actual situation of overseas Chinese businessmen and Fujian and Guangdong provinces, three shipyards in Mawei, Xiamen, and Guangzhou were added to the plan.

Judging from the documents and investment intentions submitted by the delegates of the industrial conference, there are only a few of you who want to engage in the shipbuilding industry, and in addition to several shipyards in Shanghai that want to expand into shipyards, there are just one in other places. If you want to set up a shipyard, the government will definitely support it, and the government will help with capital and technology, but if you want to build a shipyard, you still have to come up with a business plan, if the plan is approved, then the government will try its best to support it, but if the plan can't be passed, the government will support it is also a loss-making business, then it will be vetoed. ”

Yang Rui's words expressed the government's determination to support the shipbuilding industry, but it was unexpected to ask them to come up with a business plan. (To be continued!)
