Chapter 608: Across Thousands of Mountains and Rivers to Find You (Part 1)
But at this time, an officer came over and whispered to Federica: "Miss Federica, here is a telegram from you."
With that said, the officer at the airport handed the telegram to Federica. Federica gave him a sweet smile and thanked her softly. For a moment, the officer was a little dizzy, secretly thinking that this young lady was very
Charming. Then the officer handed Federica an air map, gave a military salute and turned to leave.
Federica opened the telegram and saw that it contained the place of stay along the way. At the same time, she was warned that she needed to continue the voyage in the name of "air travel". There were people from the three eastern provinces in charge of greeting her everywhere.
After reading the telegram, Federica couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, her beloved tiger had a solution! After a while, she had already figured out a solution.
Indeed, if it is in the name of flying, even if the Hanover family is angry, they can only hold it in. The reputation of the family is very important! If people know that Federica escaped to find a man, then the family's face will still be lost.
Do you want it anymore?!
Therefore, the name Hanover family can only result in knocking off their front teeth and swallowing them bloody!
At the same time, Long Yun, who was in Kunming, also received a telegram from Tu Qianjun. He was a little confused at first, but Chief of Staff Sun Du smiled and said to Long Yun: "Mr. Zhizhou, that Tiger visited Germany back then.
.There is some connection with this 'Hanover family'..."
With that said, Sun Du briefly talked about the history of the Hanover family. When he heard that the Hanover family had produced a British king, Long Yun couldn't help but be stunned! Good guy! This tiger's contacts are really broad!
In fact, these were also the homework done by Sun Du. When Long Yun planned to contact the National Defense Force, Sun Du gradually began to collect information about this tiger. The assassination case at the Hanover family manor was earth-shattering!
This even triggered a big war, and naturally he couldn't avoid Sun Du's eyes. After careful study, it is not difficult to find out the friendship between this tiger and the Hanover family.
"Zhizhou! According to what you said, we really have to entertain and entertain well!" Long Yun thought for a moment, and even if he put aside the relationship with the tiger, he still had to entertain this princess who comes from such a prominent family.
Interestingly, both Sun Du and Long Yun's characters are Zhizhou. Therefore, most of the time Sun Du calls Long Yun "Zhizhou Gong" and Long Yun calls Sun Du "Zhizhou".
"That's OK! I'll go to Wujiaba Airport to make arrangements." Sun Du nodded and said to Long Yun: "Don't lose the courtesy in Yunnan."
"Go!" Long Yun nodded. Whether he wanted to please the tiger or the princess, he had to do this well. Long Yun still had great trust in his chief of staff.
At this time, Kunming had already opened an airport. And their airport was the second airport in Chinese history.
In 1922, Tang Jiyao wanted to establish an air force and bought 30 old fighter jets and 15 old training aircraft from the French Air Force in Vietnam, and built the military Kunming Airport in Wujiaba, Kunming.
Although the Yunnan Army's air force is now in decline, maintenance of the airport is still in progress. Those old fighter jets and training aircraft are still flying, but this air force looks more like decoration.
Sun Du lived up to Long Yun's expectations, and soon he organized all levels of gentry and officials in Kunming! He was going to the airport to greet him, and by the way, he also drove the "Kiying" that Long Yun purchased from the car factory in the three eastern provinces.
.
Crying shadow means chasing the shadow of the sun, which is a metaphor for being extremely fast. Cao Zhi's "Qiqi" once said: "Suddenly creeping on the scenery and pursuing lightly, running at ease and surpassing the legacy."
Ji Kang of the Three Kingdoms also said in No. 10 of "Brother Xiu Cai Gong Mu's Poems Presented to the Army": "The wind is passing by and the lightning is passing away, and the scenery is chasing after it."
"Book of Liang. Biography of Wang Sengru" also mentioned: "There is no one who stalks the shadow and chases the wind, and rushes like this." The Dongsan Province Automobile Factory named its cars after "croaking the shadow". The question is:
Have confidence in your car!
Tu Menghu, who has the vision of future generations, naturally does not like the current round-headed car design. The habits of the military also make him like the rhombus and angular appearance.
Therefore, the car design drawings he drew completely subverted the concept of car design in this era! Huge, thick and fully enclosed body. Wide air intake! Domineering appearance! A sense of majesty that immediately makes people feel at first sight.
, people can’t help but feel that this is the car that men should drive!
At the same time, the various configurations of "Jiying" are not low. Through cooperation with Germany, Tu Qianjun was able to introduce the most popular Mercedes car, the powerful Stuttgart model.
Depending on the wheelbase, the car is divided into two models, with 2.0 or 2.6-liter engines, with output horsepower of 38 and 50 horsepower. This was only in the early days, and now the "Qiying" is equipped with a performance that has been improved to
100 horsepower 3.0 engine!
With its thick body, the Silence naturally drives at high speed and smoothly. Although it lacks the air-conditioning of later generations, it has more seats made of various precious woods and leathers.
Both the exterior and the interior look extremely luxurious! Of course, the price is also very luxurious. The price of a "Sneak Shadow" is as high as 800 US dollars! You know, even the offshore price of a Chevrolet sedan is now
Only four hundred and forty-five dollars!
Even so, more than 500 units of this car were sold! This made Tu Qianjun couldn't help but be stunned, and then sighed! The so-called economic crisis is actually just a crisis for the poor.
More than 30 units of this car were sold in Shanghai! There are more than 40 units scattered across the country. Some of the rest were sent to Europe and some to the United States. This shows that, in fact,
Those wealthy people still have money.
In addition to the diesel vehicles exclusively used by the military, other vehicles using alcohol, coal and other energy sources for the three northeastern provinces have also entered the market.
In February 1932, Tu Qianjun secretly began to stockpile gasoline and diesel. Considering that once a war breaks out, strategic supplies will naturally be tight! Especially with the degree of mechanization in the three northeastern provinces, more resources will be needed!
Therefore, the governments of the three eastern provinces entrusted the Huanghai Industrial Experimental Institute, deputy director Liu Min and recruited engineer Xiang De, to take charge of the development of gas generators, and successively developed 5 types of gas generators.
The gas generator uses charcoal as fuel. On August 11, 1932, the "271" gas generator was installed on a car for its first test run, which was a success. It carried 22 people from Fengtian City to Harbin, and traveled 640 kilometers per hour.
39 kilometers.
A commissioning ceremony was held on the Fengha Highway on October 10. It was attended by the Ministry of Industry of the three eastern provinces, representatives from 14 provinces and cities across the country, and foreign experts, who spoke highly of it.
Later, a dust collector was developed and patented in the United Kingdom and the United States, which solved the problem of charcoal pollution.
As of 1933, 50% of the civilian vehicles in the three northeastern provinces were converted into gas vehicles. In 1935, alcohol vehicles were successfully tested. Because alcohol is cheaper than gasoline, more than 45% of the vehicles in the three northeastern provinces are currently powered by alcohol instead of gasoline.
In this way, charcoal cars and alcohol cars account for more than 95% of the total number of cars in the province, saving 180,000 to 300,000 gallons of gasoline every year, worth 40 to 1 million silver dollars!
Apart from part of the saved gasoline and diesel being given to the military for training, the rest is naturally stored in the National Defense Force's strategic oil reserve.
On August 4, 1936, Wujiaba Airport in Kunming, Yunnan was crowded! Everyone was waiting in the newly built waiting hall, and there was a lot of discussion of "buzz~buzz~buzz..."!
Outside the airport, Long Yun and Sun Du were dressed in military uniforms and led Yunnan officials at all levels to look forward to it! At the same time, there was a large plane painted with the military emblem of the National Defense Force parked at the airport.
Standing with Long Yun and the others were Aban and Snow who came from the three eastern provinces. These two people came on this big plane.
This aircraft is a DC3 passenger aircraft jointly developed by Dongsan Province and the American Douglas Company. Of course, this was put on display for Abban and Snow. In fact, Dongsan Province also secretly developed the Fokker Volvo with the Germans.
Golf fw200 vulture.
There are also mosquitoes developed secretly with the British De Havilland Aircraft Company. These are sealed in several secret bases in the three northeastern provinces. The British and Germans only know that the three northeastern provinces are openly developing business aircraft with the Americans.
But they didn't know that behind this, Dongsan Province was also working with them to develop other aircraft. According to Tu Qianjun's idea, designers from Dongsan Province must take this opportunity to become familiar with aircraft, engines, etc.
In order for China to develop its own large aircraft in the future, no one knows the significance of large aircraft better than Tu Qianjun! Therefore, he spared no effort to invest and win over Britain and Germany to secretly develop new aircraft together.
The Germans excluded Wilhelm Banzemier as the design director. After less than a year of research and development by Dr. Kurt Tank, the fw200 made its first test flight in July 1933.
Now the three eastern provinces secretly possess more than 60 fw200 Condors, and at the same time, the "Flying Wood" Mosquito secretly developed by the British De Havilland Aircraft Company under Tu Qianjun's hint has also been successfully tested!
As for why Tu Qianjun came to develop this kind of wooden aircraft, the reason is very simple - there is a lot of wood in the three northeastern provinces! If there is a war and the steel supply is not available, then wooden aircraft is also an option.
And the Mosquito is not bad! It can even be said that it is an extremely excellent aircraft!
While everyone was looking forward to it, a "Tiger Shark I" fighter jet slowly flew towards here from a distance with the roar of the aircraft motor "buzz~buzz~buzz..."!
Here it comes! Everyone held their breath and looked up at the fighter jet that was slowly flying towards here!
Federica on the plane also saw the crowd below, and suddenly! Her eyes became moist! After experiencing so many hardships, she finally arrived in China! (To be continued...)
