Zhang Yi went on to say, "How many planes can we build and produce a year if we start production now?"

Wilbur Wright lowered his head and began to meditate for a long time before saying, "Mr. President, if you want to start production now, you need to build a large factory first. This is difficult to achieve in a short time, and it will take at least half a year to complete it. Of course, we can also take the opportunity to train a group of skilled workers for assembly and production in this half a year, and then start production. By this time next year, we can produce 30 such planes!"
Zhang Yi frowned, which is a troublesome thing. At present, they are not allowed to produce for such a long time.
Zhang Yi asked, "Dear Mr. Wilbur, we urgently need aircraft as a weapon to participate in our coming Great Patriotic War. You should know that the western powers may launch a war of aggression against China in the next three months. If we have this weapon, it will definitely become the key to our turnaround. Do you have any other ways to speed up our progress?"
Wilbur shrugged and said, "Mr. President, this is unlikely. After all, our factory cannot be established overnight. When we need it, we need factories, equipment, debugging equipment and a large number of parts. We need a large number of ordnance enterprises or heavy industry enterprises to participate in it. These things are too complicated. Once it is put into mass production, your technology is too backward. To be honest, if it is the United States, it is possible to complete such things in two or three months. China? How far is it now? "
Zhang Yi smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Orwell, I understand that the United States is indeed more advanced than China’s powerful technology, but don’t underestimate us. Now your country, China, has helped us to build a huge heavy industry, especially the military industry. We have our own machine factory, our own machinery factory and our own automobile factory, which are the most important engine factories in aircraft production. Since your country can put into production in two or three months, there will be no problem in China. Zhang Yi must build the aircraft factory in two and a half months!"
Wilbur hesitated. "Mr. President, are you sure that China has such strength? Science is not a child’s play. Can’t there be any mistakes? "
Zhang Yi replied, "Mr. Orville, wait and see, but now we have people in our hands, but they are all amateurs in aircraft manufacturing. I need you to personally guide their factory construction, and I also need you to give us the list of materials we need to purchase to build our factory."
Wilbur replied, "Mr. President, this is not a problem. Now you have allocated 20 students to me, and they have been able to beat these jobs. What’s more, some people in this guard camp you sent to defend us have been selected by us as test pilots because of their frequent contact with airplanes, and they have become outstanding talents in this industry. They can know the factory builders! Moreover, when the time comes, I will temporarily hand over our development workers to my brother Orville, and I will temporarily pull out to coach and train those workers! "
Xu Huaijin said aside, "Instructor, since we are too tight at present, I think we might as well choose a place to clear a factory nearby and carry out large-scale transformation, so that we can quickly put it into operation and train technicians at the same time. Although it is difficult, we can transfer a group of key workers to heavy industry institutions such as heavy machinery factories and arsenals in advance. They have excellent mechanical manufacturing foundation and need to be given a preliminary training. I believe they can put them into production and recruit later workers slowly. We will talk about priorities after this period."
Zhang Yi nodded and smiled. "Huai Jin, what you said makes sense. What do you think is more appropriate for us to choose the address of the aircraft factory? Let me wake you up first. In the future, our aircraft factory will occupy a very huge area. His factory area may be even larger than that of the automobile factory, and this is our key project. We must carry out production in a relatively secret environment to guard against spies from all countries! "
Xu Huaijin frowned and said, "Instructor, I suggest choosing a military camp! Directly transform the military camp into a plane factory Xinmin! There are just two regiments stationed there to transfer all the troops received by the military camp of one regiment to Shengjing and arrange another regiment to take over the defense workers of the aircraft factory! "
Zhang Yi shook his head and replied, "No, if it is ten years later, your idea is very good, but it is not possible now. Xinmin now makes our economic development zone have many enterprises from all over the world stationed there, and the intelligence security can be guaranteed!"
Wu Peifu replied, "Instructor, shall we arrange Jinzhou? It is close to the sea and can fly directly when it is installed, and it is not too far from our coal and steel complex. It is also very convenient to purchase raw materials and produce parts, and there are also two regiments stationed there. We can still adjust one regiment and then the other regiment takes over the defense! "
Zhang yi nodded and said, "well, then do it!" We will choose Jinzhou Huai Jin to make it as soon as you go back. "
Xu Huaijin hurriedly agreed.
Zhang Yi went on to say, "It seems that I have to extort a sum of money from that guy Qiao Yingxia again. Alas, this aircraft factory has invested more."
Xu Huaijin quickly asked, "Mr. Wilbur, the instructor, how much does this aircraft factory need to invest?"
Zhang Yi smiled and looked at Wilbur.
Wilbur mused, "It doesn’t need much money to build a small-scale factory. One million dollars is enough. If it is to build a large-scale factory, it may not be. I think we need three or four million dollars!"
They were suddenly taken aback for such a big investment!
Zhang Yi took a deep breath, but it is a little difficult to raise four million dollars. Even Qiao Yingxia Shengjing Bank may not be able to raise so much money in a short time. After all, the scale of Shengjing Bank’s lending has been too large recently. Just because the Fengtian government Shengjing Bank took away the funds, it should have surpassed more than twenty million and two thousand silver. Jiafeng Tianmin’s lending is close to the limit of Shengjing Bank. "Two million dollars!"
Chapter six hundred and twenty-one Big
Two million dollars!
This president is so generous!
Wilbur gasped, even if people in the United States have such handwriting, they don’t think much about their brothers. It is difficult for the United States to find a supporter, not to mention the government. Even those companies have no one to support themselves. Those tycoons have invested all their money in oil and cars, and no one cares about themselves.
Over the past year or so, Zhang Yi has invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in them, and now he will invest two million dollars at a time. This is waiting for them to believe!
Wilbur swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty
Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Mr. Wilbur, there are some difficulties in the cash flow of our bank. If not, I will give you two million dollars at a time. Now you can wait. Don’t worry, I will invest four million dollars this year, and I will continue to invest three million dollars in the next two years, or we will not do it, and we will make our plane the most advanced and largest in the world!"
Wilbur trembled. "Mr. President, are you telling the truth?"
Zhang Yi laughed. "It’s absolutely true. Of course, I will hire you and Mr. Orville as the chief engineer and deputy chief engineer of our aviation group! Specially responsible for the development and production of our national aircraft! "
Wilbur almost jumped up with excitement. Great! Those idiots in America didn’t find the great value of airplanes, but someone did! I must show those capitalist who have kicked me out that we have develope a powerful plane!
Zhang Yi went on to say, "The first thing in Huai Jin is that we need to set up an air combat formation. The first batch of combat pilots will temporarily give them a regiment to compile Ji Yubo, so don’t go back to Jade and let him be responsible for the training and combat of aircraft pilots!"
Xu Huaijin nodded and smiled at Wu Peifu. "Jade, please go and select a new colonel. After Ji Yubo, you can’t take charge of this aviation combat formation. In the future, you will be directly responsible to our General Staff."
Wu Peifu gave a wry smile. That’s great. I can’t look back when I beat the dog with meat bags. It seems that I can find a new head.
Zhang Yi laughed. "And immediately after returning, I ordered the Defeng Sun Cang Lang Department to be transferred to them for two months. If it is not qualified, I will immediately withdraw from active service in Cang Lang and transfer to the ordinary army! No matter when the time comes, Cang Lang must be the first batch of talents to master the world’s advanced weapons. If they can’t adapt to this situation, they can wait to be brutally eliminated! "
Xu Huaijin hesitated. "Instructors must also master this aircraft combat skill?"
Zhang Yi firmly replied, "We must master that there is absolutely no room for manoeuvre. In the future, everyone in Cang Lang must be proficient in aircraft combat skills. Two months is too short. We can familiarize them with the basic performance of aircraft first, and then elaborate the aircraft after it is produced, and then equip the navy and Cang Lang first. His troops will all be delayed. Well, Cang Lang can’t equip too many fighters for the time being. Two for each detachment is still needed."
Xu Huaijin said with a wry smile, "We really got that level in Cang Lang, so it’s not a heavenly soldier?"
Zhang Yi slowly replied, "Huai Jin, what is a fist? It is the most powerful and threatening to be able to weigh a fist. Cang Lang wants the ball and military to continue to stand out without new skills. That’s easy to be surpassed. Now there is a German Cang Lang. Do you think they will stand still? Absolutely not. They will definitely continue to improve our training institute. In the future, it is essential for us to exchange and absorb in Cang Lang, and eclecticism is our strongest treasure! "
Xu Huaijin nodded and replied, "I remember the instructor."
Zhang Yi went on to say, "From now on, all air port formations will be under the direct leadership of the General Staff, and our naval flying troops will also be under the leadership of the Admiralty. After all, it is necessary for them to follow the navy to fight now. In the future, when our flying formations grow, they will become independent armies. At some point in the future, the army will become the army and the navy will keep pace with each other, and then the army will become a decisive force in war!"
Zhang Yi asked, "Instructor, do you mean that we will set up a military department in the future?"
Zhang Yi nodded and replied, "This is necessary. It’s time for the military to find a future commander!"
Wu Peifu frowned and said, "Can’t the instructor Yu Bo win in the future?"
Zhang Yi replied with a sigh, "Jade, I know that Yubo is your favorite, otherwise I wouldn’t have selected him to carry out this project, but he is positioned as a navy, not an army. In the future, the navy will have its own independent military command, and Yubo is the best candidate for the military. I need to find another one!"
Xu Huaijin laughed. "Instructor, you might as well let Defeng Sun try it. This guy is a gifted student in the armament school and the chief instructor in Cang Lang. The most important thing is that this guy has a strong ability to accept new things and is too fast. I think this plane will be able to go white in a month and then fly it on the rampage directly!"
Zhang Yi wry smile way "Huai Jin I also like Defeng Sun, but our chief instructor in Cang Lang has changed too fast in recent years, which is not a good thing. Defeng Sun has outstanding ability, but I can’t bear to let him out at this time."
Xu Huaijin burst out laughing and said, "Instructor, you also have distressed times. Anyway, this matter is not in a hurry to set up a military department. I think it will take three years at the earliest. What’s the hurry? By then, a group of backbone forces in Cang Lang will have grown up. It won’t matter if you transfer Defeng Sun directly." Zhang yi also laughed. It’s really early for him to be swayed by considerations of gain and loss at this time to set up a military department. What are you worried about? Zhang Yi turned to Wilbur and said, "Mr. Wilbur, I hope to see you list the equipment needed for the construction project as soon as possible. Remember to get your list quickly, and we will immediately prepare and transfer some of your assistants to take charge of the construction of the aircraft factory. I will ask you to add some new assistants to come and rest assured that the talents around you are definitely the best talents in China and the Republic of China. You will not be disappointed!"
Chapter six hundred and twenty-two Fireworks inspired
Zhang Yi went on to say, "Mr. Wilbur, now our propeller-powered aircraft has succeeded, which will dominate the navigation process for more than a century in the future, but you should know that the propeller power model is really limited."
Wilbur one leng doubt way "limitations? Mr. President, what are the limitations of propeller power mode? "
Zhang Yi said, "Once Mr. Wilbur’s plane comes out, it will cause a great sensation, and all the powerful countries in the world will set off a wave of aircraft development. It is foreseeable that the industrial base of western developed countries will catch up with our level in 20 years, and it is not impossible to keep ahead. Then we must have his unique propeller power model. When our aircraft speed and traffic volume reach a certain level, the propeller will give me power, and it will show defects. Because the propeller rotation speed is limited, our materials are available and we screw. The propeller blades can’t be enlarged. In this case, I think our propeller-powered aircraft should be close to the limit if it is afraid to answer 500 kilometers per hour. How can we develop then? "
Wilbur immediately lost in thought after listening to Zhang Yi’s words. People around Zhang Yi were stunned and looked at Zhang Yi. The president even understood such a profound question! Can’t you see that Wilbur, a great scholar, has been stumped!
Wilbur just looked up for a long time and said, "Mr. President, after careful consideration, I think the problem you mentioned is absolute and this barrier will definitely appear in the next 20 years. Since you have keenly discovered this problem, how can we solve it?" At least we brothers can imagine the future and it is really hard to think of a more suitable power model. I’m sorry I’m afraid I’m going to let you down … "
People on the sidelines feel even more incredible. The two scientists can’t come up with a solution to this problem, even if there is no theory!
Zhang Yi laughed. "It’s not that Mr. Wilbur can’t solve your problem. Mr. Orville didn’t think that it’s not that your theory is not good enough, but that you started with the propeller from the beginning. After so many years of research, you have fallen into inertial thinking."
Wilbur said in a daze, "inertial thinking?"
