    To his father-in-law, he was the junior Bayama could not refute.  But facing Wang Xueqian?  Well, the big boss is more terrifying than the elders, and he can't refute it.     Innocent!  When used on a five- or six-year-old child, this word should be endearing; when used on a teenage child, it should be a neutral word, mostly with a rustic flavor; when used on a teenager  It is probably a derogatory term for a five-year-old boy But once this term is used for a man in his thirties, Bayama can't even imagine the fear.  From the depths of his heart, the power of resistance grew stronger and stronger, frantically attacking the last line of defense in his heart.  Bayusao kept saying to himself: "I am also a man!" If Wang Xueqian knew that his words made Bayusao so angry maybe he would consider his own methods.  But at this time, a person's visit interrupted the conversation between Wang Xueqian and Bayusao: "Sir, Governor Sa Zhenbing is here." I have to say that Sa Zhenbing during the Republic of China was very coward, and the word coward should indeed be used.  To describe the former Navy Chief of the Republic of China.  Although he reached the peak that a naval man could reach and served as the chief of the navy for a long time.  But in fact, Sa Zhenbing has no sense of presence in the cabinet or the military.  At the beginning, he did not dare to offend the Beiyang government, and he could not trust Yuan Shikai, but he also did not think that the "Kuomintang" was reliable.  Anyway, it's like he's living in a crack, being angered by both sides and being ostracized by both sides, but he still wants to please both sides.  Facing Wang Xueqian¡¯s recruitment, Sa Zhenbing, who had never been tough, had no choice but to become the puppet governor of the Fujian Provincial Government.  Facing Yuan Shikai, he could escape to his hometown; facing the split of the navy, he could stay in Shanghai.  But after his hometown was taken over by Wang Xueqian, he could only obey obediently.  A famous naval figure and a big boss in the cabinet, this kind of domineering aura has never been lost on him.  Logically speaking, Sa Zhenbing will not be willing to be a puppet in Fujian. The army personnel are on guard against him. Most of the navy's men have been transferred away from the ship. Even if they are not transferred, Sa Zhenbing will probably command  The old subordinates did not move.  After many years of ups and downs in officialdom, his character has been almost completely destroyed by him.  ¡°But he didn¡¯t expect that being such a provincial governor in Fujian would make him feel uncomfortable.  Wang Xueqian was not like other officials in the Republic of China, who levied wild taxes on local areas. Every penny collected smelled of blood, and he desperately wanted to expand the army.  Every step Wang Xueqian made was based on his ability. Most of them relied on Zhejiang's industrial base. A little bit of accumulation, coupled with the huge wealth of transportation and goods circulation, he just supported the world.  There are almost no taxes in most mountainous villages in Fujian. Of course, it¡¯s not that Wang Xueqian doesn¡¯t want to collect taxes, but he has a staff group, including many people who have in-depth research on the economy. Ma Yinchu told Wang Xueqian the cost of collecting taxes in rural Fujian.  , even more than the taxes collected.  Therefore, Wang Xueqian had to change his strategy and stipulate the method of land rent to alleviate regional conflicts.  Then primary education primary schools were established through government and local support.  Officials' salaries mainly come from local commercial taxes.  Agricultural taxes have almost been abandoned. If farmers want to reduce taxes, they only need to join the reserve army, which can reduce agricultural taxes for two years for half a year.  In fact, the local governors of the Republic of China relied on agricultural taxes to survive, and they were basically ready to go out of office. Especially in the coastal areas, there were so many places where money could come from that they simply didn't care about the small amount of agricultural taxes.  In addition to training, the reserve army only escorts merchants' goods.  Part of the commercial tax is only levied in cities such as Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Quanzhou.  A large amount of agricultural products from inland Fujian can be transported to coastal ports.  The economy gradually prospered.  ¡­ ¡­ These policies have been implemented to the letter as good governance. Everyone feels that Fujian has finally met a good official.  And Wang Xueqian could only rely on the taxes from several coastal cities to support the local military and government officials stationed in Fujian.  ¡° As for the provincial governor, Sa Zhenbing, as long as he acted in accordance with the decrees issued by the Marshal¡¯s Mansion, he easily received a lot of praise, and was still respected by businessmen and ordinary people willingly.  This gave him a way to benefit the village and gain a reputation in front of the elders in his hometown.  I also have the intention to work hard in Fujian.  Even though Chen Jiongming¡¯s arrival a year ago made him feel some threats, not many bad things happened.  But although Chen Jiongming is not very popular among his colleagues, in government work, this person is simply too convincing.  A man who manages the entire government smoothly, and even has a scholarly integrity towards the army, paying attention to military discipline and the kind of compromise.?The spirit cannot be seen or touched.  Well, people who are familiar with Chen Jiongming think that this guy is extremely extraordinary. He was the only scholar in the Republic of China who could defeat the heavily garrisoned city of Guangzhou by reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.  Sa Zhenbing is a monster-like figure among scholars. Sa Zhenbing's concession has given him a higher reputation in the officialdom.  Gradually, Sa Zhenbing¡¯s reputation improved, and he felt like he was benefiting the village, which made him feel honored when he walked on the street.  This kind of pride in being an official and gaining the support of the people has never happened in his memory.  Regarding Wang Xueqian's character, Sa Zhenbing was convinced from the bottom of his heart.  The only thing that made him feel unsure was that Wang Xueqian liked to make a fuss, and if he was a little too noisy, he would offend the British.  This makes Sa Zhenbing a little worried. If Wang Xueqian falls, how long can he be the governor?  However, before anything is finalized, he still enjoys his current life very much.  How wonderful is a life of being admired!  Of course, there is another reason. Chen Jiongming is a tireless workaholic. Everything can be arranged properly, and there is no chance for him to worry at all.  Another person might be dissatisfied with being ignored, but Sa Zhenbing would not be like that.  He is used to this kind of leisurely life. Wasn't that how he came to be at the Admiralty Department in Yanjing?  Sa Zhenbing followed the servants of the mansion to the dining room, only to realize that he seemed to have come at the wrong time.  ¡°Because it was already nine o¡¯clock in the evening, and Wang Xueqian had just sat at the dinner table.  Sa Zhenbing was a little stunned. His admiration for Wang Xueqian's busyness was like a flood, out of control. Of course, he was even more ashamed because of his laziness.  "Commander" "Governor Sa is a senior, please don't be so polite." Sa Zhenbing's eyes wandered for a while, feeling a little helpless. If the big boss wants to show his closeness, is it appropriate to call him by his name?  He called out tentatively: "Brother Zigao." In fact, Bayuzao did not leave. He was just led to a room next to him to rest.  As for why Bayuzao didn't want to face his father-in-law, Wang Xueqian didn't know.  But this time, Bayuzao was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.  People in the official circles say that my father-in-law's character is a bit lacking.  He has always been unbelievable.  But today he had to believe how old Sa Zhenbing was. An old man in his sixties had the audacity to call Wang Xueqian brother.  Doesn't this forcefully make you a generation shorter?  Bayuzao thought so.  Annoyed, he still listened to the conversation between the two.  "I already know something about Yunhua. In fact, he is talented, capable, and willing to work pragmatically. But there is one thing that is wrong. I feel that technology has no borders. To put it bluntly, he is too naive.  . In this regard, Wang Zhu did not have it. It may be that his experience in the United States was smoother than that of Wang Zhu and others. At Curtiss and General Motors, it was not like Wang Zhu who designed it himself.  aircraft, but was excluded by the US during the test flight because he was a foreigner and might leak military secrets" "Wang Zhu seems to be your son-in-law too!" "Ahem So is Sa Zhenbing.  I coughed for a while and felt like I was going off topic.  Every naval student sent abroad back then was a treasure. There were even fewer who studied shipbuilding and submarine technology in the UK, and even fewer stayed in the United States.  There were only four people at the same time.  In addition, Sa Zhenbing has good physical strength and many wives. When he was an official, he had less to worry about and had less social activities. Of course, he also had more daughters.  It couldn't be easier to betroth your daughter to the talent he likes.  Sa Zhenbing immediately showed a righteous and awe-inspiring look, as if to express his feelings: "Commander, don't worry, I will have no objection to any decision you make. Even if Bayusao is not convinced, I will go and tell him!" "  It's not that serious, it's enough to make him realize that the British are hypocritical friends." Wang Xueqian wiped the corners of his mouth, and the servant immediately removed the food from the table and served him some tea.  Sa Zhenbing stared at the tureen and made no intention of picking it up for a long time. Instead, he asked tentatively: "Commander, what happened in Hangzhou?" "Hangzhou? What happened?" "It was about Bayuzao testing a seaplane on the West Lake.  At that time, many foreign reporters came. His head was so hot that he almost let the foreign reporters get on the plane. In the end, it seemed that the reporter fell into the water because of the crowd" Looking at Sa Zhenbing, Wang Xueqian said heartily: "Old fox.  "But what Sa Zhenbing guessed was true. Of course, this was not Wang Xueqian's instruction.  The aircraft manufacturing plant is the core secret of Zhejiang industry and the top priority for the future development of the Zhejiang Army.  How could there not be the highest level of security?  Dai Li's people and the guards around Wang Xueqian have deployed a lot of people.    "This should be a measure taken by the security personnel of the aircraft manufacturer. They don't know these details. After all, many technologies are related to the security of the region and even the country. Once the secret is leaked, it will no longer be a secret."  The people who reporters squeezed into the West Lake happened to be arranged by Dai Li's men.  "Are you kidding? Of course you can't see anything clearly about the aircraft of the Zhejiang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory under the cover of paint.  But if you want a British reporter to get on the plane and use a camera to take a few photos of the interior without noticing, won't all the faces be exposed?  The United States naturally has American reasons for not allowing Wang Zhu, who was a member of the Republic of China, to watch the trial flight of Boeing aircraft.  Can a foreigner casually let a foreigner fly on an aircraft that is intended to be used by the military?  Of course, Wang Zhu¡¯s identity at the time was also very embarrassing. On the one hand, he was a foreigner serving as the chief engineer of Boeing Company, and he was also the designer of the aircraft.  He is more familiar with Boeing's seaplanes than anyone else in the world.  But the military representatives would not care about this.  Americans actually issued a very strict order by the military for a long time.  No U.S. military aircraft are allowed to be exported overseas as a whole.  This is not just for the Republic of China, but also for Europe.  Therefore, many countries do not know the level of the U.S. aircraft manufacturing industry.  This is very similar to Japan. Japan has also adopted a closed model in the aviation industry and only imports a small amount of aircraft from other countries for research.  There has never been an outflow of aircraft from the country.  As a result, only when Japan launches a war will the great powers know what level Japan's aviation industry has developed to.  Sa Zhenbing was very careful to stop the conversation, which made Bayuzao feel very uncomfortable.  After he obtained a master's degree in aeronautical engineering from MIT, he was immediately hired by the Curtiss Aircraft Factory and worked for a first-class large company.  But Wang Zhu chose Boeing Company, which was originally a woodware manufacturing factory.  After that, Bayama went to work for General Electric.  The talent pool of such a large company will certainly not be as thin as that of Boeing, which has just entered the aviation industry.  Although Bayama Zao has been entrusted with important tasks, his identity as the chief designer of the aircraft is still far away from him.  Especially at Curtiss, the boss himself is one of the pioneers of the American aviation industry. He has competed with the Wright Brothers for many years, and Bayama can only admire him.  For Bayuzao, who works in a large company, he has an income that is envied by senior executives of small companies, but does not have the pressure of senior executives of small companies.  It was as if he had grown up in a honeypot. It was difficult for him to understand the sadness and resentment that Wang Zhu felt when officials from the U.S. Navy refused to watch the test flight.  Before leaving, Sa Zhenbing seemed to have remembered it, and suggested to Wang Xueqian: "Commander, if you want to use Bayuzao, beat him well. His life needs to be tempered. It is not smooth sailing for him.  It's not a good thing." Bayamazao was hiding in the lounge at this time, his face flushed with shame. He simply couldn't imagine that once his research was easily obtained by the British and he foolishly thought that this was an equal exchange.  This feeling was as painful as someone digging out his heart, making him unable to breathe.  After Sa Zhenbing left, Bayuzao woke up from Chen Buili's shouts and realized that what he had done was indeed inappropriate.  Looking at himself again, he found that in his heart he had a desire to show off to the great powers and that the people of the Republic of China could build the best aircraft, which kept him on the verge of making mistakes.  Suddenly, he will do something that causes headaches for senior decision-makers.  Seeing Bayusao who looked like a wilted eggplant, Wang Xueqian felt that this guy's blow today was probably big enough, but it was not his style to do things without punishing his mistakes: "Do you need to talk to your father-in-law?"  Tamamo shook his head violently and said: "No need. Only then did I realize that I had been a little complacent in the past two years. Especially the victory in the naval battle at the Yangtze Estuary made me" "However, the aviation industry is a rapidly developing industry. From the invention of aircraft to  Now, in just over 20 years, a small aircraft can threaten a tens of thousands of tons of warships. If there is no opportunity to communicate with the outside world, what should we do if our research goes astray?  "Ba Yuzao asked worriedly.  Wang Xueqian laughed: "You are questioning my leadership ability!" "Don't dare!" Bayama really didn't dare to refute this. Wang Xueqian may not be as good at using materials as professional aeronautical engineers like Bayama.  The graduated engineer is an expert, but in terms of the direction of aircraft development, his vision is much better than that of Bayama Zao and others.  As long as he puts forward his requirements for aircraft manufacturers according to the development trajectory of the aviation industry, the aviation industry of the Republic of China will not be too bad.  "What's wrong with working behind closed doors? When airplanes are still used for military purposes, the design of airplanes is all about satisfyingIt is designed and manufactured to meet the needs of the military. The Air Force asked for it, and the engineers came up with a response plan. This is my requirement for the aircraft manufacturer.  Of course, there are still many problems at the moment. For example, the engine is a big problem.  The current radial engine is no longer suitable for future trends. We need to start researching in-line engines and use turbocharging to meet the problem of insufficient output. Only with increased engine power can all-metal aircraft become possible and provide stronger protection.  capabilities and air combat capabilities can become a reality.  As for the design of aircraft types, the design of bombers, at least medium-sized bombers, can be slowed down for a while, focusing on fighter jets and torpedo attack aircraft.  This is the focus of the future defense of the Republic of China" "In fact, the core of Wang Xueqian's theory is that exchanges are fruitless, and no one will come up with core technologies. Only during war can the strength of the other party be seen. And the Republic of China will in the future  Is there a lack of war with the great powers? The future aviation industry of the Republic of China will be the greatest victory if it can suppress the Japanese. Before China and Japan start a full-scale war, they can find out all the gaps and find out all the gaps.  Want people to exchange their elimination technology? Bayusao is very strange, he is an aviation expert! Just when Bayusao was excited and ready to fight, Wang Xueqian said leisurely: "You also had a conversation with the governor of Saskatchewan just now.  I heard that he wants you to calm down. Do you want you to persuade him?  " "Who wants to be scolded?  "Bayuzao immediately expressed his obedience to the arrangement. Wang Xueqian nodded in approval and said: "Very good, there is a job in Shanghai that suits you right now, which is to raise funds for the aviation industry.  "Bayuzao was almost dumbfounded when he heard that, raising funds? Isn't this a beggarship in the yamen? Bayusao felt that this job was definitely not something he was qualified for. He was good at spending money. How could he find money? He just prayed to Buddha and ancestors.  There is no way! He couldn't help but feel guilty and said: "Zigao, I lack the talent in this area" "You don't need to come forward, you just have to watch.  "Wang Xueqian said assuredly. "Bayuzao couldn't help but wonder, this business is okay! The money can be invested in the aircraft manufacturing factory. This business seems to be very easy, and his desire for funds made him feel relaxed. He smiled slightly and said: "No  Complex, right?  " Wang Xueqian glanced at Bayama Zao with a relaxed expression, and said with relief: "This job requires people with good conduct to look after it. The funds raised will be used for the Aviation Industry Administration in the future, and part of it will be used for the research and development and purchase of equipment for manufacturing plants.  Another part will be used to cultivate talents.  Wang Xueqian said to himself: "Is it complicated to sell lottery tickets?"  ¡± Du Yuesheng may have proposed setting up an aviation lottery issuance point in Shanghai in order to please Wang Xueqian. It¡¯s okay to let Bayuzao keep an eye on it. Of course, if Bayuzao loses money selling lottery tickets, Wang Xueqian really intends to let him think about it behind closed doors.  I don¡¯t know how to cherish the opportunity! (To be continued.)
