Wuhan, Luojia Mountain Official Residence.

"Sir, Leng Guoguang sent a telegram from Xinxiang."

"What's the matter?" Old Jiang looked up and asked. There has been a lot of news about Xinxiang these days. In addition to Leng Feng's "news policy" in Henan and northern Henan, the "news spokesperson" system is also very popular.

Especially after Xue Boling visited Xinxiang, he came back to describe his experiences in Xinxiang vividly, saying that it is now a hot land full of vitality and firepower.

This also made Lao Jiang have the idea of ​​going to see it. Of course, he just thought about it. He didn't have time to go shopping in the scenery now.

"Leng Guoguang used the captured Japanese aircraft drawings and technology to reach a preliminary secret agreement. The Soviet Union assisted us in an aircraft assembly factory and initially reached an export contract for 500 aircraft, two-thirds of which will be assembled in our country. They will photograph engineers and technical workers to guide us, and the contract is worth 15 million US dollars."

"The Soviet Union actually agreed to help us build an aircraft assembly factory?"

"Yes, I was surprised by this, and I don't know how they would agree. This may involve some secrets we don't know?"

"What secret? If the Soviet Union is really willing to do this, $15 million, 500 aircraft, the price is not high, it is much lower than the price of the aircraft on the aid contract we signed before?"

"Yes, sir, $5,000 less, does not include the cost of building an aircraft assembly plant."

"It seems that we made a profit?" Lao Jiang said excitedly.

"But Leng Guoguang has the conditions."

“What conditions?”

"He asked to take control of this aircraft assembly factory." Lin Wei said.

"What does this mean? Such an aircraft assembly factory belongs to the country's strategic equipment manufacturing factory. How can he own it privately?" Lao Jiang's face looked ugly.

"Sir, most of the aircraft manufacturing factories in Western countries are private groups. Leng Guoguang just demands holding shares, but did not say that the Guofu Capital is not allowed to join."

What Lin Wei didn't say is that even if the government wants to take control, can we pay for it now?

This $5 million aircraft and assembly plant is additional assistance, especially aircraft, which is the most urgent need of the National Government now.

Of course, the Soviet Union's production capacity is still not up to par. Such a large contract will take at least three years or even longer to complete.

It would probably take more than half a year to build an aircraft assembly factory. (This is not what I said. I checked the information. This was the situation at that time. Building a factory in half a year is also considered the speed of a soldier. If it were the current aircraft manufacturer, it would probably not be able to build it within half a year)

"Does he have so much money?" Chiang Kai-shek is becoming more and more suspicious that Leng Feng has made a big profit in Nanjing. The Japanese army has searched the entire Nanjing city. How much wealth is obtained? Even if the Japanese army transported away some of them, how much is left, this number cannot be estimated.

Even if those objects cannot be converted into cash, these items can be mortgaged to a large amount of money from the bank.

Leng Feng did hand over a lot of precious cultural relics, which were priceless, but these things could not be measured. They were treasures of the nation and could not be turned into money.

The gold bars, silver dollars, and the foreign currency stored in the bank, although most of them were taken away during the retreat, many of them still fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

This money is conservatively worth tens of millions of fiat currency.

But Lengfeng didn't mention this money at all.

Even if Leng Feng swallowed this money, he could not find any evidence. Leng Feng took back the money from Japan himself. After a turn, the nature of ownership changed.

Regarding this matter, Lao Jiang specially recruited Dai Yunong to him and asked him solemnly how much money Leng Feng had gotten from Nanjing.

Dai Yunong was very embarrassed and was stunned for a long time but could not answer Jiang Jiang's question.

In China, there are few secrets that Dai Yunong didn't know, but in this matter, he really couldn't answer Chiang Kai-shek. The Japanese robbed property in Nanjing was really impossible to count. The Japanese army transported a lot to Shanghai and then transported it back to Japan and Ben's homeland by ship.

The rest were basically transported out of Nanjing by Leng Feng.

It is said that this batch of things is equipped with twenty train wrists, but in fact it should not be that many. Some things are inconspicuous but very valuable. Some cultural relics must have huge space to store, but they are not necessarily valuable.

And cultural relics and ancient books are filled with four train leathers.

Leng Feng did not keep these priceless cultural relics, and handed them all over to the National Government.

Lao Jiang also knew that this question was really difficult to answer, and he did not continue to ask, but this matter must be explained to the outside world, and many people are concerned about it.

Leng Feng suddenly intervened in the aviation field and wanted to jointly build an aircraft assembly factory with the Soviet Union. This was a good thing, but it also aroused Chiang's idea of ​​how much wealth he had snatched back from Japan when he was in Nanjing.

The National Government is poor!

There is a saying that when a cannon fires, it will cost ten thousand taels of gold.

This war is about money and food. Weapons and ammunition cost money, and food requires money. If you don’t have money, you can’t buy weapons, ammunition, food, and everything you can use for war.

If Leng Feng had not controlled an elite army in his hand, he would probably have brought back the wealth he brought from Nanjing even if he used force.

With this money, at least the National Government Military Commission will have a better life. If you can buy more arms and recruit more soldiers, you won’t have to worry about the word “money” all day long.

Does Leng Feng have money?

If you have money, Leng Feng does have some money in his hand. This money is about 30 million French currency (comprehensively calculated), which is calculated by counting all the cash and gold and silver brought out from Nanjing.

Ten million of them have been used to purchase arms from Yan Laoxier.

Five million is used to resettle refugees who escaped from Nanjing. This money is used exclusively and is not allowed to be misappropriated anywhere else at any time.

The remaining 15 million, five million, is the military expenditure of the New Army.

The last ten million is the capital for the Vanguard Company to start.

Of course, the New First Army accepted a lot of donations, including money, goods, assets seized from the Japanese and puppets, rewards from the National Government and military pay, etc. This is also a revenue.

Relatively speaking, the New First Army is relatively wealthy among domestic troops, but not as imagined by outsiders.

To maintain the combat effectiveness of the New Army, the investment is also huge. Let’s take a joint venture with the Soviets to set up an aircraft assembly factory, and first squeeze out three million from the 10 million French currency capital of the Vanguard Company to build factories, roads, airports and related supporting facilities.

According to Leng Feng's design, the Vanguard Company provided a sum of civil engineering and engineering construction funds, the National Government found land, and provided talents and relevant policy resources. The Soviet Union provided relevant equipment and technical guidance, and distributed them according to 40%, 30%, and 30% of equity.

The Soviet Union only owns 30% of the shares, which is considered a technology investment.

The government naturally invested in the aviation committee as the main body, and the investment in land, supporting facilities and personnel was also considered 30%.

The Invalid Company invested funds, accounting for 40%. (The Invalid Company is also responsible for security and security work.)

"Sir, this is a simple equity allocation plan sent by Leng Guoguang. Take a look." Lin Wei handed a document to Lao Jiang.

"Vengjun Company?"

"Yes, a company established in Wuyi Town in Leng Guoguang was the purpose of its establishment. First, it assisted in resettlement of refugees who escaped from Nanjing and ensured their basic life until they could support themselves. Second, it provided a living guarantee for the officers and soldiers who were injured and restored from the First Division. Once soldiers were disabled, it would be difficult to find a job after retirement. Now, relying on state pensions, it is far from solving their lives and family life. Didn't the gentleman promised Leng Guoguang to open a piece of land for them? Third, the establishment of some industries was also to solve the employment of soldiers. On the other hand, it also means to save the country. At present, it is mainly involved in the transportation industry. There is an Oriental Shipping Company under the name of the First Division of the First Division in Hankou, which was the Nie brother and sister who decided to follow the First Division of the First Division in Wuyi Town to take care of them." Lin Wei explained.

"No wonder the New First Army is so capable. He set up such a vacant army company, which is equivalent to repelling the hearts of all the soldiers in the army. This should have been what we should do, but he did it alone!" Old Jiang said in surprise.

"Yes, sir, Leng Guoguang has already thought of this since he broke out from Nanjing. His long-term vision and great ambition are really shocking."

"Do you think he has ambitions, too?"

Lin Wei nodded.

"It is not scary for a person to have ambition. Ambition is sometimes also to be enterprising, but if a person's ambition is not restricted, it is scary." Lao Jiang said.

Lin Wei was silent. It turned out that this was the real reason why Chiang Kai-shek was jealous of Leng Feng.

"I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I have to ask for the wife's opinions and the opinions of all members of the Aviation Committee. I think I have to hold a special meeting to study it." Lao Jiang said.

"Mrs. I'm still in the United States. It should be a rest time now. Should I send a telegram to my wife later?" Lin Wei asked.

"You must, my wife has worked very hard to raise funds from overseas Chinese in the United States recently. Don't disturb her rest at this time." Lao Jiang nodded.

"How did Leng Guoguang respond? The Soviet Union has never let go of us to cooperate with us to build an aircraft manufacturing factory. If it weren't for Leng Guoguang this time..."

"You first plan a telegram to build an aircraft manufacturing plant. This matter must be dominated by the government. Even if private capital is introduced, it must obtain the government's permission. As for controlling shares, this is absolutely impossible." Lao Jiang said with a tough attitude.

"yes."

In Xinxiang, Lao Jiang’s call from Leng Feng was quickly received.

Chiang Kai-shek would never refuse the joint venture to build a factory. After all, the teacher had the task of seeking a joint venture with the Soviet Union to build an aircraft manufacturer.

However, the Soviet Union has always been not interested in cooperation in this area. They just want to provide the export of the entire aircraft and help China build one or two repair factories to repair damaged aircraft. If it is a complete aircraft manufacturing, there will be more engineering and technology involved.

Of course, the Soviet Union's aviation technology was not very advanced in this era, and it was even more backward, but they had established a relatively complete industrial system.

As long as he is given time to develop, his technology will be able to keep up quickly.

Unlike the Soviet Union, China is a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, and it is also a country dominated by agriculture. Without a complete industrial system, it is like a person who lacks arms and legs, not a normal person.

With too advanced technology, the Western world prohibits the export of China, so even if you want to obtain advanced aircraft manufacturing technology, China now cannot digest it.

Soviet Russia's technology is of great practical significance to a country that has not yet completed industrialization.

The Republic of China government, the American Tees-Wright Aircraft Company and Douglas Aircraft Company, jointly established the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Factory Hangzhou Company, which is the "Zhonghang Factory".

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the "Zhonghang Factory" moved westward to Hankou, and the factory was temporarily rented in the Daxing warehouse on the dock by the river in the Japanese Concession. The conditions were very difficult to repair and assemble the aircraft.

"Zhonghang Factory" later moved south to Yunnan, and still used the name "Zhonghang Factory"

In addition, the Sino-Italian Aircraft Manufacturing Company in Nanchang also moved west to Chongqing, which was later the second aircraft manufacturing plant of the Republic of China.

The first manufacturing plant was the "Sino-German Aircraft Manufacturing Factory" in Shaoguan, Guangdong that moved westward to Kunming, Yunnan, and later moved to Guiyang.

Leng Feng didn't want to touch the cheese from these two aircraft manufacturers, not to mention that the First Aircraft Manufacturing Factory was a cooperation between Americans and has a background in American finance.

Although the second aircraft manufacturer was built in cooperation with China and Italy, it was the first of the three major aircraft manufacturers in the Republic of China at that time.

(The first is Shanghai Hongqiao Aviation Factory.)

After Italy and Japan-British alliance, China and Italy had a feud. The Italian side withdrew technical researchers. The factory was subsequently bombed and suffered heavy losses. He had to move westward to Chongqing.

The Naval Manufacturing Aircraft Office and other construction units, originally located in Shanghai, were merged to Chengdu to become the "third aircraft manufacturing plant".

In addition to the "Zhonghang Factory", the other three of these four aircraft manufacturers are on the way to migrate and have not settled down. In other words, the first to third aircraft manufacturers in the planned plan have not yet found a place to settle, and the personnel and equipment are in disorder.

Leng Feng knew that when building an aircraft manufacturer, talents are the most important, equipment, etc., all of which are made by man. The key is people. If he asked to find a group of people to build aircraft, the rules would not be made within three to five years.

Because he does not have this resource and does not have this ability, but the government has it. The government has worked hard for so many years. Although the aviation industry is not as good as others, it has at least cultivated a group of talents and technical workers.

The aviation committee headed by "Madam Jiang" did make contributions to China's aviation industry. Without Madam Jiang, it would have been impossible to struggle against the Japanese army in the Republic of China.

Leng Feng just wanted to borrow a chicken to lay eggs.
