On February 26, Ouyang Yun returned to Guangzhou.

Because of secrecy, the commander-in-chief's return from a long distance did not attract much attention. The first thing he did when he returned to Guangzhou was to summon a group of bigwigs from the cadet army to report the good news of the aircraft carrier, and then collectively discuss the issue of the list of naval personnel who had gone to the United States to receive training from the US Navy.

Regarding the matter of the aircraft carrier, the only people who know about it are Gu Lianyun and Pan Meiren. Everyone else learned the news for the first time, and Jiang Shuren and other people who were not very good at military affairs did not show excessive performance after listening to it, while professionals such as Li Hansoul and Tie Linfei listened to Ouyang Yun talk about the results of this trip to the United States, and their performance was a little unbearable. Overjoy is a normal performance, such as Li Hansoul couldn't hold back his excitement on the spot, and said excitedly: "Really? We also have aircraft carriers? Ha Luha, I don't think anyone dares to say that our navy is an empty shelf! After saying this, he glanced at Guo Biao intentionally or unintentionally, looking very proud. And the latter was staring at him with drooling and affection at this time, so frightened that he quickly avoided it, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Because of his experience in the United States, Tie Linfei knows a lot about aircraft carriers, and his entry point is different from Li Han's. He said: "In this way, we will be able to counter the Japanese at sea, which is great!" ”

Li Tieshu, Chu Tiange and the others all looked at Li Hansoul with a little envy, and Li Tieshu said: "Three aircraft carriers, obediently, we can also organize a combined fleet." ”

Ouyang Yun had already been excited, and he was very calm at this time, he smiled and said, "Before leaving, I didn't know if Lu Dao would talk about it, so I didn't make this news public. Hehe, don't be too happy, the completion of an aircraft carrier fleet is not an overnight thing. Moreover, if we do not work hard to develop, it is still a question whether we will be able to afford such a huge aircraft carrier fleet in the future. ”

Ouyang Yun said this with a purpose. I only wanted to have one aircraft carrier, but now I have three at once, and although a third of the cost will be borne by the Zionist Organization, the maintenance costs of the remaining two aircraft carriers and related ships are also a staggering amount. Not to mention anything else, the oil required to maintain the daily operation of the fleet alone is not something that the Cadet Army can solve at present. Thinking of the raging oil field fire in Renqiu, Ouyang Yun sometimes even wanted to slap himself in the mouth—if he had stuck to North China in the first place—Ji Xingwen frowned and said: "That's the case, some time ago, in order to deal with the 'eating' conspiracy of the central department, Mr. Jiang also mentioned this issue during the meeting. After speaking, he set his eyes on Jiang Shuren.

Jiang Shuren's face was gloomy when he heard this, he looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "Ouyang, our financial situation is not optimistic. If there are no new measures, the current reserves will only last until June. At the last meeting, I put forward a proposal to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, is our military salary too high? With the current price level in Fujian and Guangdong, I personally think that three oceans for an ordinary soldier is enough to support a family of five. There is also the national basic education that is being built and popularized, which is also a bottomless pit, is it not suspended, or downsized? ”

Ouyang Yun shook his head and said resolutely: "No, military salaries are related to the morale of the army, and they must not be reduced." As for the investment in education, we must not reduce it, because education has a bearing on the nation's 100-year plan, and it is not a trivial matter, and as long as there is still a little way, we must persist in it. On a cruise ship from the United States to Hong Kong, I was thinking about it. This time, we sold three patents to the Americans, and although the income was quite gratifying, in fact, it also cut off most of the sales of the electronics factory and the pharmaceutical factory. In this way, unless we are willing to lower prices, it will inevitably lead to overcapacity and product backlogs. I've already figured out how to shift sales from the U.S. to other countries. Well, if I'm right, as long as our televisions and other electronics keep up, our revenues will only increase, not decrease. Mr. Jiang, we will talk about these things in detail after they disperse. Now, let's first solve the issue of sending naval reservists to the United States for training. ”

The navy of the cadet army is now an empty shelf, with less than 1,000 officers and combat personnel combined, and the total number of operators and combatants of an aircraft carrier far exceeds this number; therefore, it is unrealistic to select from the existing naval personnel, so it is necessary to adjust a group from the army and air force, and it is also necessary to recruit troops from abroad.

Ouyang Yun continued: "Three aircraft carriers, plus seven cruisers, eight destroyers, nine attack submarines, and four supply ships, need a total of about 10,000 troops. Excluding the Jews, we need to prepare 7,000 men, of which at least 2,000 will be sent to the United States for training. Hehe, the navy now has less than a thousand people in total, and even if all of them are dispatched, it will not be enough. Considering that the cultural quality of the trainees cannot be too low, the carrier-based aircraft aviation has special requirements, and there are also confidentiality issues, these 2,000 people are not so easy to select! Lao Ji, you are fully responsible for this matter, if you have any ideas and difficulties, put them forward now, and we can all help you think of a way. ”

Ji Xingwen said with a wry smile: "The difficulty is definitely not small, the first time I did this, I can't think of it now." Is there a time limit on the U.S. side? ”

This time, the US side is helping the cadet corps to train relevant personnel free of charge in accordance with the cooperation agreement signed between the US Government and the Cadet Corps, and the requirements put forward are relatively relaxed, but it only shows that these personnel will have to go through at least one year of theoretical training and more than half a year of practical operational training, but it has not put forward a specific time requirement. However, Ouyang Yun felt that this was a rare opportunity to scrape the ground, and naturally hoped that the sooner the better. "You have to report to the U.S. Department of the Navy in two months, well, you only have a month to do that, after deducting the time spent at sea," he said. ”

"It should work in a month."

"Let's talk about the specific details, this matter is indeed complicated."

Everyone thought about it, and then expressed their opinions. Ji Xingwen took out his notebook and recorded the speeches he felt were valuable.

In the end, with the help of the team, we finally came up with a proper and feasible solution. Before everyone dispersed, Ouyang Yun took special care of Ji Xingwen, Mu Jiandie and Chang Gen, and must strengthen confidentiality, and conduct a detailed investigation of everyone selected to prevent them from mixing in with ill-intentioned elements and leaking the news prematurely.

The crowd dispersed, and Jiang Shuren was left alone.

He unceremoniously grabbed the teacup in front of him and took a sip, and asked directly: "Ouyang, the other countries you are referring to, specifically?" ”

"Soviet, German, French, British, including Japan!"

"Japan?"

"Yes."

"Isn't this going to be true? After all, you're in charge of the Cadet Army, and it's definitely a stain on your personal reputation—"

Ouyang Yun smiled: "It's not a normal channel, is it okay to smuggle?" Hehe, if other countries only need 1,000 yuan, the little devil will take 500 yuan more. Hehe, don't worry, I'll let the right people do it. ”

After the self-taught soldiers mastered the mass production technology of penicillin, many countries have set up commercial agencies or consulates in the cities where the headquarters of the student soldiers are located, hoping to obtain the maximum amount of this "panacea" that can save the lives of wounded officers and soldiers on the battlefield. In order to control prices and obtain greater profits, Ouyang Yun has been implementing limited supply to these countries. Now, because the Americans have also mastered the mass production technology of penicillin, although the cadet army has introduced new and more advanced production lines, thus reducing costs, it will definitely be affected. Rather than waiting for the Americans to compete to lower prices, it is better to take the lead in controlling the market, and once the Americans find that it is unprofitable, then they can only obediently stay in South America. In addition, by next year at the latest, Germany will attack Poland, and World War II will be in full swing. Then, the demand for medicines in the countries participating in the war will inevitably increase, and the cadet army will now give up high profits, but because it occupies the market, it will inevitably get higher returns because of the increase in demand. As for the TV set, because RCA already has a stake in Xuebingjun, Ouyang Yun is not worried at all that it will go to Europe or even Asia to grab the market by itself. Television is the second largest luxury product after the car, and the military used to patronize the domestic market, but now with the maturity of technology and the rise of production capacity, it is an opportunity to export on a large scale. Of course, if steel production can be solved, the automotive industry and even tanks will be able to try to export.

There are some words, because it is related to the issue of crossing, Ouyang Yun is inconvenient to say to Jiang Shuren, but Jiang Shuren's economic mind is not simple, he only needs to mention the latter a little to understand.

"Tanks must not be exported, otherwise, someone will find an excuse to ask us to supply them for free," Hearing Ouyang Yun mention the export of tanks, Jiang Shuren remembered the matter of "eating Fujian and Guangdong", and hurriedly persuaded him to dispel this idea.

Ouyang Yun had already learned from Ji Xingwen about "eating Fujian and Guangdong", and immediately guessed that this "someone" must be related to Jiang someone, he frowned slightly, and said: "As long as we have this ability, it is not a problem to support some tanks, but there is a premise for this, we must be guaranteed that these tanks will not be used to fight us, or even fall into the hands of little devils." ”

Jiang Shuren hurriedly shook his head: "Don't count on their assurance, hum, don't forget Jiang someone's career." I think that Lao Kang's team is worthy of our support-" Speaking of this, he glanced at Ouyang Yun's face and said cautiously: "Lao Kang helped his owner buy a batch of firearms some time ago, and I made the decision to let the military industry department give three cents, is this no problem?" ”

Ouyang Yun smiled: "Lao Kang's owner is the same as us, and he is very active in fighting devils. You're doing the right thing, hehe, there's nothing wrong with Qingliu, right? ”

"No, *** people are very cooperative."

"Hehe, that's good. Hey, now the tungsten ore production in Qingliu has gone up, but it's a pity that the steel production in Longyan Makeng has never been able to rise, otherwise-" Ouyang Yun said, sighing. The quality of iron ore in Longyan Makeng is not low, and it is convenient to mine, but because it is too close to Zhejiang and Taiwan, it has not dared to expand its production capacity because it is afraid of the bombing of the Japanese air force.

(Ouyang Yun is back, can the brothers count the tickets?) )
