In addition to the students they selected from the Northeast to study undergraduate majors in the Soviet Union, there are now nearly 1,000 of them studying aircraft design and manufacturing, engine research, and aviation materials research and design in the Soviet Union. There were even dozens of them, who studied in various aviation design bureaus of the USSR.

Although he was born in the United States, he was very dismissive of the Soviet Union's scientific and technological level, especially the level of aviation science and technology. I think that the Anti-Japanese Federation has made a directional mistake in the selection of countries for international students to study abroad. Not to mention the scientific and technological strength of the United States, which far surpassed that of the Soviet Union. Even the scientific and technological strength of Britain is above that of the Soviets.

It is true that the scientific and technological foundation and strength of the old Western empires are not comparable to those of some emerging countries. Not to mention the Soviet Union, even Japan is not as good. The level of aviation science and technology in the USSR has always been second-rate. Other countries already use a lot of aluminum, and they are still using wooden or steel tubular fuselages.

This can be seen from the two types of fighters they have provided to Chongqing. From the aerodynamic mechanism of the aircraft, or the application of materials, and even the process cannot be compared with the American aircraft. It is generally shoddy, and even gives the impression that it was chopped with an axe. Moreover, the Japanese have begun to replace their aircraft, but they are still using a large number of two old aircraft.

Now that we have decided to spend such a large amount of money to select international students. Then we should go to the Western countries with more developed scientific and technological strength, rather than to the Soviet Union, where the overall scientific research level is still relatively backward. In particular, Yang Zhen believes that jet power will be the future development direction of aviation power, and he should choose to go to the United Kingdom.

As a top student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, he still has a certain understanding of the whole world's aeronautical research. He believes that in the world today, the forefront of aero engine research is still the United Kingdom. Even the United States is somewhat inferior to the British. The United States has some advantages in aviation materials, but some of the real core technologies are better than the British.

For example, the turbocharging technology of the engine, the British are almost alone. Even the Americans took advantage of World War II to acquire similar technology from the British. The British Merlin engine can be said to be the best liquid-cooled engine in the world at the moment.

In particular, the British and Germans are still relatively ahead in the research of jet engines, which will certainly be the main aviation power of the future. Although Germany is not thinking about it now, it is still necessary to find a way to study in the UK. After all, the level of the British is much stronger than that of the Soviets.

And the current Soviets themselves are also massively importing the engines of the Western powers. Their engines, basically Western imitations. Because of the process, the performance of the engine is still quite reduced compared with the original goods. If you go to the Soviet Union to learn, no matter how much you learn, it will be backward technology.

At present, since the Anti-Japanese Federation is an ally with the United States and Britain, it should choose to study in the United States and Britain. The most important thing is to compare it with the Soviet Union, which is engaged in a war on an unprecedented scale on its own soil. Although the United States and Britain are also at war, at least the mainland has not yet fallen into the battlefield. Going to these two places, the safety of international students is also guaranteed.

Faced with his disapproval, Yang Zhen could only tell him with a wry smile. The United States and Britain have always adhered to the attitude of keeping one hand in the matter of accepting students from the Anti-Japanese Federation. The Anti-Japanese Federation has made many representations on the issue of selecting students to study abroad, but the United States and Britain have never spoken. Even if they reluctantly agree to accept it, they are basically not connected to advanced aviation, power and other disciplines.

The Anti-Japanese Federation can only find a way to sponsor a group of students from various universities in the Guannai to study in the United States and Britain at their own expense or through academic exchanges. One-third of those who went to the UK last year to study aviation and aviation power were secretly funded by the Anti-Japanese Federation. Despite the fact that there were only a dozen people, this was already the best effort.

Even the Soviet Union did not train this group of students for free, but it was also negotiated by the Anti-Japanese Federation that paid all the students in full, the relatively high tuition fees, and gave the Soviet Union a certain amount of food aid. For an international student to pay only 4,000 rubles per year. The cost of living and the Anti-Japanese Federation must be covered with grain and coal.

And in terms of grain, the Soviets only needed small grains such as wheat. Corn and sorghum, the Soviets did not want. But for the Anti-United Nations, no matter how great the pressure in all aspects, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. The Chinese really owe too much in the development of science and technology.

Now if you want to make up for it, no matter how big the price is, the Anti-United Nations will have to bear it. This is also the last chance for Chinese to catch up with the world's technological trends, and if they miss it, they will pay an even higher price. If you follow the free-range cultivation method in Chongqing, it will take more time to make up for this gap. And the Chinese will also miss an important opportunity to catch up with the development of the aviation industry. Although the training system of the Soviet Union is too prescriptive, the division of majors is too detailed, which is not conducive to the development of students' comprehensive ability. But it is a means to speed up the cultivation in a short period of time.

The Soviet Union was indeed inferior to the United States and Britain in some respects when it came to the aviation industry. But in many ways, it is not inferior to Western countries. In some technologies, there are also their own unique aspects. Now what the Chinese need more is to fight steadily and steadily, and first lay a solid foundation.

From this point of view, the Soviets divided the training system too carefully, and although it was difficult to train talents in all disciplines, there was still no problem in having a specialization. And at least for the time being, the Soviets are the only country that has promised to accept a large number of students from the Anti-Japanese Union.

The United States and Britain are indeed better than the Soviets in terms of aviation research and development system and comprehensive technical level. But they will not teach these things to the Chinese, let alone to the anti-union, because they will not cultivate a competitor for themselves. The parable of the cat teaching the tiger to climb the tree, they know more than the Chinese.

Now for the Anti-Japanese Federation, in addition to taking advantage of the opportunity of this ally now, absorb as much world aviation technology as possible, and try its best to cultivate a group of talents. It's more about being self-reliant and not trying to rely on anyone. And people like Qian Xuequ are the most important cornerstone of self-reliance to build their own aviation industry.

Yang Zhen's voice fell, although Qian Xuequ was already a little moved, but he was still hesitating, and did not nod and immediately agreed to stay. He's a scholar, but that doesn't mean he's really a nerd. The encounter during this period of time makes him still have palpitations.

Looking at Qian Xuequ's somewhat hesitant expression, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "In this way, if Mr. Qian insists on returning to Chongqing, I will not force him to stay." But since I decided to leave, I won't miss the next few days. Mr. Qian is gone, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to meet again and listen to Mr. Qian's guidance. ”

In this way, I also asked Mr. Qian to inspect our factory and school in detail and give us some valuable suggestions. After all, none of us in charge are experts in this area. All things can only be crossed by feeling the stones. If a professional like Mr. Qian can provide us with some advice, it can save us a lot of detours. ”

For Yang Zhen's sincere invitation again, Qian Xuequ hesitated for a while and finally nodded and agreed. Seeing that this old man finally nodded, although he had not finally spit out on the question of going to stay, Yang Zhen knew that as long as he gave himself a certain amount of time to relax, he could still stay.

After leaving the air force guest house, Yang Zhen told Fang Ziyi to ask him to transfer a deputy director from the Air Force Political Department to personally accompany Mr. Qian to visit. Except for some highly classified aspects, the rest can be let him look at it casually, and the troops can also let him get down.

Didn't their aviation want to rework the B-25 bomber? It's entirely possible to hire this guy as a consultant and use this name to pull him in completely. This guy didn't spit out, but he was already hesitating. As long as he can put what he has learned into practice, he will let go of the last trace of hesitation.

After repeatedly explaining Fang Ziyi, Yang Zhen warned him. For these scientists who are dedicated to serving the country with science and technology, if they want to retain people, it is not by giving them how generous they are treated, let alone by how much money they are given. If they figure these things, they will not return to China.

At present, no matter which faction or aspect, there is no stage for them to display their talents, let alone a country that has the ability to turn their ambitions into reality. They could have stayed in the United Kingdom, which could give them this, and continued their research. Moreover, no matter how good the treatment given in China is, it is not as good as what Europe and the United States, especially the Americans, can afford.

If you want to really retain people, give them a place to show their space. As long as the plane tree is planted, why not attract the golden phoenix? As long as the Anti-Japanese Federation can give them a stage to truly display their ambitions and realize their dream of serving the country with science and technology and strengthening the country with science and technology, then it is the foundation of retaining people.

Yang Zhen believes that whether to stay or not to keep this Qian Xuequ cannot just look at the surface problem. In terms of the current situation, one more Qian Xuequ can certainly solve many problems. But without him, it is not to the point where the work cannot be carried out at all. But this person can play a role as a benchmark, using him to attract more scientific and technological workers studying in the United Kingdom and the United States to return to China to work now or in the near future.

Therefore, we must pay attention to this person, give him enough space, and find a way to attract him to the work thoroughly. Otherwise, it will keep people, and it will not be able to keep the heart. The most important thing is that if he can be retained, it will be quite convenient for the United Nations talent attraction plan. People see whether you are sincere or not, and you have to look at the attitude towards existing scientific and technological personnel, which is the role of benchmarking.

With the deputy director in charge of the review of the Political Department, he will ask the political commissar to personally come forward to solve the problem. If some people still can't change their brains, then simply change them. There is nothing to hesitate about, he Yang Zhen is not afraid of offending people. It's not terrible to chill a person's heart, but the chain reaction that may be caused is really fatal.

After telling Fang Ziyi, Yang Zhen did not return to the Aviation Headquarters, but returned to the Anti-** Department. The conversation with Fang Ziyi and Liming, as well as the problems that occurred today, gave him a wake-up call in disguise. I am a little too one-sided in my consideration of some things.

It was always believed that the Soviets, who were too busy to take care of themselves at the moment and still needed a lot of assistance from the United States and Britain, were unlikely to provide themselves with combat aircraft. And put all hope on Meiying. However, he also ignored the special political environment at home and the restrictions on the performance of US-British aid aircraft.

At present, it has received a large number of assistance from the United States and Britain to manufacture new aircraft, and the eastward relocation of the domestic aviation industry has been completed. The Soviets, who had resumed production at various aircraft factories, were not necessarily completely impossible, selling new fighters to the United Nations. In the case that the United States and Britain refused to provide new aircraft, they should indeed be prepared to buy a batch of new aircraft from the Soviet Union in exchange for each other.
