Chapter 174 Aviation Status
As soon as Ma Qian'an entered the house, he immediately reported to his house and said he had long been tolerant. Although no one knew where he was and where he was tolerant, his attitude was clearly reflected. Cooperating with Ma Qian'an's somewhat artificial intimate affection, Lei Hongyao and Nov returned the favor unnaturally. Logically, he was causing trouble for others. He should have taken the initiative, but the master snatched him first.
Chen Ximei and Chen Dongshun followed in. Chen Ximei looked at Lei Hongyao with some guilt. Seeing Lei Hongyao ignore him, she hurriedly went to the side to find a chair to sit down, and listened to the crowd's greetings.
Lei Hongyao had learned from Chen Ximei that the two people sitting in front of him were from the overseas Chinese leader Chen Jiashen, and the transport plane was also from Chen's company. Lei Hongyao had a great impression of Chen Jiashen and expressed his gratitude for being able to take the airplane this time. However, in order to make these two overseas Chinese feel more comfortable, Lei Hongyao still explained his abruptness: "In short, the government has determined its consistent policy and position against Japan, and we must stick to this position with all our might. We hope for peace, but not seek peace; we are ready to face the challenge, We will never seek war. We know that after the situation in the country has to be in danger of sacrifice, without any chance of avoiding it. Now there is no difference between the north and the south, no matter how old or young, no matter who is responsible for defending the territory and fighting the war, we should all be determined to sacrifice everything. Therefore, the government must be particularly cautious. In order to face this major event, the people of the whole country must be serious and calm and defend themselves bravely. This is the only thing that the whole country can do to the unity of the country, obey discipline and strictly observe order. I hope that allegiance to the country is what my brothers sincerely hope for."
Oh! Lei Hongyao really tried to save trouble, changed Chiang Kai-shek's speech in Lushan slightly and showed up in public. However, this article is simple and concise and explains the truth, and stimulates the people's determination to resist the war, so it has been frequently quoted?
Lei Hongyao did not know that Ma Qian'an was slandering, and still tempted the "Overseas Chinese" in his eyes to instill the responsibility of defending the country and resisting the war. He learned how to suppress people with a big hat first. At this time, he felt so happy. Lei Hongyao looked at Ma Qian'an who was "focused" and stared at Shakanov and continued to show off, "This brother Chen and brother Zhan live in Nanyang. Although he has heard of the domestic war of resistance, he has not understood it deeply. He does not know that the country can requisition vehicles for the war of resistance at any time. I would like to remind you that we have the intention of requisition this time. We hope that we will cooperate."
This guy defended the territory and fought against the war one by one, and requisitioned it one by one. Do you really scare us as a rustle? Are you thanking us or teaching people this? Chen Dongshun was a little unhappy. After following Chen Jiashen for a long time, the old man naturally had the character of a master. Moreover, he had seen so many big people, but he had never seen anyone so awesome in his expression.
Chen Dongshun didn't want to listen to this kind of "training" anymore, so he turned his face and pulled Ma Qian'an, and said a lot to Lei Hongyao, full of impatientness. Ma Qian'an knew that the old man was impatient and gave a wink at the old man. Chen Dongshun hid aside on the excuse and talked about other topics to Chen Ximei who was nestled in the corner of the house, and left Lei Hongyao and the others aside.
Lei Hongyao touched his head in confusion, not knowing that he had said something wrong, which made the old man impatient. Fortunately, Ma Qian'an in front of him was good at finding topics. He was chaotic twice and foggy, which saved his face. But what did he say? Ma Qian'an on the other side looked relieved?
Ma Qian'an laughed in his heart. After some nonsense, his understanding of Lei Hongyao deepened, and the new information completely subverted his initial impression of him. Lei Hongyao is generally an intellectual, very simplistic, and does not analyze many things and is completely poured out. He is not a common little bureaucrat at all. So why did he talk so much nonsense at the beginning?
Ma Qian'an looked at Lei Hongyao mockingly and said, "Brother Lei, you started talking about Mr. Jiang's speech at Lushan, right? If I guessed correctly, your brother still put in the effort to recite it."
Hey? Lei Hongyao opened his mouth in surprise and asked in surprise: "How do you know?" Seeing Ma Qian'an laughing but not answering, Lei Hongyao shook it and added: "It took me a lot of effort to memorize this manuscript. It seems that it is not so difficult to ask me to draw a plane breakdown diagram."
Ma Qian'an smiled and perfunctorily passed by.
Alas! You talents who are immersed in technology! You insist on learning to be an official accent, but it is not like a waste of time.
Ma Qian'an, who knew Lei Hongyao's character, calmed down in his heart and began to deliberately inquire about the purpose of Lei Hongyao and his party going to Singapore. He didn't know much from Chen Ximei, but since he knew it was related to aviation motives, his curiosity forced him to make this decision.
Lei Hongyao was unsuspecting. Seeing that Ma Qian'an agreed to take the opportunity to take the opportunity, he felt relieved. At the same time, the questions Ma Qian'an asked involved his own technical work, and he was out of control.
Shakanov can occasionally understand some words, and the lazy and uncomfortable big guy often makes things clearer.
The First Aircraft Manufacturing Factory moved from Shaoguan, Kanto. After arriving here, it expanded a lot of scale on the basis of the original. In addition to continuing to produce the "Fuxing" biplane, the factory is also exploring the production of the popular single-wing drive aircraft. Referring to the Hawk 75 aircraft exported to China by the United States, the Aircraft Manufacturing Factory also spent a lot of effort to test the production of most parts, but due to the motive, it could not produce itself, and this type of aircraft was at the point where it could not continue.
Overseas Chinese in the United States strongly supported and constantly pulled personnel from the Chinese aircraft factory established in the United States to help. They also lobbied the US Foreign Minister Song Ziwen to negotiate with the US government. They obtained the consent of President Roosevelt and secretly instructed Curtis to sell it to China 5O units and transfer the export model drawings.
In this environment, Curtis Company reached a sales contract with the China Aviation Commission, squeezing out this part of the motivation from the goods supplied to the UK. Of course, Curtis Company was doing a transaction. Using the excuse that the British side could not supply the goods in time and the British side claimed liquidated damages, it severely knocked the China Aviation Commission a robbery.
At this time, the US's "Lease Act" was still in the mind of President Roosevelt and had not been passed by parliament. However, the keen Roosevelt realized that China's anti-Japanese resistance could hold back the Japanese and that China would never collapse. If China collapsed, huge human resources were integrated by Japan and Japan dominated Asia, it would be a disaster for the United States in Asia. So Roosevelt began to consciously export certain technical weapons to China, but the companies under the responsibility of exporting weapons and technology regarded this as an opportunity to make a fortune. Not only did the supply be untimely, but they also had to take advantage of the dangers of people to raise prices. The National Government, which urgently needed an airplane, could only kill the teeth and swallow it.
After listening to Lei Hongyao's excitement and dissatisfaction, Ma Qian'an hurriedly handed him a glass of water and echoed, "Ah, if you want to say that, Brother Lei is going to pick up the goods, but the money has not yet been settled, and he is short of 120,000 US dollars, that's not a small amount."
"No matter how expensive we are, we must get the drawings. The worst plan is that we need to get motivational manufacturing technology. It is not that true that people are always controlled by others. We Chinese are not stupid. I have discussed it with the engineers in the factory. After getting motivational manufacturing technology, we will design new motivations based on this, and we must be bigger and stronger, and surpass them!"
Lei Hongyao glanced at Shakanov. Shakanov understood the last sentence, and also bent his arms in a demonstration, shouting loudly, "Yes, go through them!"
Lei Hongyao was happy and winked at Ma Qian'an and said, "He doesn't understand Chinese and doesn't understand what I mean, so he just followed suit. However, he is a good person and has no technical reservations for us. The kind of aircraft we build now has great help to him."
Ma Qian'an respected Lei Hongyao in awe. This man has not been trapped in the big dyeing vat of the bureaucratic system. This is a backbone Chinese. He wholeheartedly wants his aircraft factory to build better aircraft, and his spirit is commendable!
But Ma Qian'an vaguely remembers that the so-called Hawk 75 is not the most advanced model. The aircraft was updated very quickly in the war years. It was only by relying on the weak technical strength in the aircraft factory and the lack of complete supporting machines. If there was a lack of financial support, it would probably take a long time to create a motive. When the factory created such motive, the war might be over. At present, it is best to buy ready-made fighter jets to be useful.
But if you always buy from others and don’t build it yourself, when will you master the technology? If you don’t master the technology, you will not be exploited forever? Lei Hongyao did the right thing. Although it was difficult, it finally started. You must not let this plan die!
"Then are you just buying a motivation? How to solve the rest?" Ma Qian'an asked curiously.
"With the motivation, the rest are easy to deal with. Even if they don't give drawings for this kind of aircraft, we can design them ourselves. You know, the engineers in my factory are all overseas Chinese who have returned from the United States. They have learned aircraft design and manufacturing in the United States. It is very simple to design a fuselage wing control system, weapon system, cooling system, etc. We have done a lot. How difficult do you think it is?" Lei Hongyao asked back. In the eyes of experts, this is a simple thing.
Ma Qian'an didn't know, but from Lei Hongyao's boastful tone, it seemed that this matter was not that difficult, and it was not the jet type in later generations. I believe that the rest of the current aircraft except for the motives are very simple.
Shakanov sometimes interjects in English, and occasionally a Russian proverb appears, allowing Ma Qian'an to know his Russian identity. In order not to neglect Shakanov, Ma Qian'an also communicates with Shakanov in Russian. Ma Qian'an's talent also made the two feel good about them. The three of them were mixed with English, Russian and Chinese language, and they talked in pairs, smiling in time from time to time, and time flew away unconsciously.
Ma Qian'an and Lei Hongyao became more and more speculative. Chen Dongshun and Shen Ximei were leaving at some point. Seeing that her problem had been solved, no one was asking for trouble for her anymore, she was so happy to go back to sleep.
When it was almost dawn, Ma Qian'an and the two walked out of the house together. Under his guidance, several people walked towards the plane. In another hour, the plane would take off on time.
On the way, Ma Qian'an carefully expressed his kindness, saying that if Lei Hongyao encountered any difficulties in Xinggang, he could go to Chen Jiashen and he would be responsible for introducing him. Lei Hongyao suddenly thought of the payment for the goods, grabbed Ma Qian'an's arm, and asked hurriedly, "Take it seriously!"
