    Air show?  This is nothing new in Europe and the United States. Major airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and even flying enthusiasts like to use this method to attract reporters to observe and increase the visibility of individuals and companies and increase business value.  an activity.  It is so common in the United States that the designer even flies the plane himself to perform.  But in the Republic of China, it was unique.  Before Bayuzao took charge of the aircraft manufacturing factory under the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, the aircraft industry of the Republic of China was mainly concentrated in Beiyang. There was no independent production capacity, mainly maintenance and assembly.  In other words, the engines use British, German, or American engines, and Beiyang has an aircraft assembly plant at Nanyuan Airport in Yanjing, and there is also an aviation school at the airport.  About seven or eight pilots can be trained a year, and the number of technicians is even smaller.  Therefore, Nanyuan Airport, aircraft manufacturing plant, maintenance plant, aviation school have a series of first-class titles in the Republic of China, but they have never appeared in the sight of any media. They are extremely mysterious to ordinary people.  .  But even so, the Beiyang military government's planes appeared on the battlefield. Although they had no combat effectiveness, they were like tigers descending from the mountain. With the momentum of cirrus clouds, Zhang Zuolin suffered a devastating defeat in the first Zhili-Fengtian War.  .  At that time, Fengjun faced aircraft that could not even fire machine guns at the ground, but the soldiers were as scared as chaff. In the eyes of most people in the Republic of China, those who could fly in the sky were either gods or monsters.  "Unfortunately, in the ignorant age of worshiping gods, the Fengjun soldiers at that time made two completely different reactions.  One kind wishes that his parents would have two extra legs when they give birth, crying for their parents and running away in the opposite direction from the plane; the other kind is more calm, kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and praying,  Pray that the demon will not get involved Zhang Zuolin, who had suffered the bitter consequences of failure, learned from the pain and decided to purchase this new weapon in large quantities to avenge his previous shame.  At this time, shortly after Wang Xueqian captured Fuzhou, the aircraft manufacturing plant expanded and Zhejiang began to produce its own aircraft, and Zhang Zuolin became Wang Xueqian's biggest customer.  The main reason why Zhang Zuolin, who relied on Japan, did not purchase this new weapon from Japan was Two years ago, Japan did not have an aircraft industry. Japan's aircraft at that time were all imported from the United Kingdom.  Zhang Zuolin was also unable to obtain aircraft support from Japan and could only purchase them from Zhejiang.  After all, the Northeast is rich and wealthy and has no shortage of money. After purchasing at least forty or fifty aircraft from Zhejiang, the situation in the air battle between Fengjun and Zhili suddenly reversed and they gained the upper hand.  Therefore, foreign media have high hopes for the aviation industry of the Republic of China, especially Zhejiang, which was the aviation industry base of the Republic of China.  Not only newspapers in Shanghai, but also reporters from mainstream newspapers in the United States and Europe in Shanghai almost came out to cover this aviation feast.  For European and American media, and perhaps Japanese media, it is a rare opportunity to have close contact with the aviation industry of the Republic of China.  For foreign media reporters, what they have been promoting is how backward the Republic of China was, and the use of "witchcraft" to cure diseases, etc., which vilified the Republic of China.  For the media of the Republic of China, this is a symbol of the rise of the Air Force of the Republic of China.  In previous reports, there were almost no reports on airplanes and aircraft, because there was so little material of this type in the Republic of China that the media in the Republic of China were very curious about the magic of airplanes.  In short, everyone is very curious and looking forward to the aircraft that the Zhejiang Army can come up with.  Because this is the first aviation display hosted by the government and made public to the public in the Republic of China, it is also a weather vane for the great powers to get close contact with and evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Republic of China Air Force.  In this regard, they only dispatched reporters and also pulled out the military attaches from the Consulate General in Shanghai. Regardless of whether they knew about airplanes or air combat, they were all regarded as air combat experts.  The press area was overcrowded, and the embassy area was also overcrowded.  There are also civilian viewing areas, all of which are designated relative areas.  Song Ziwen is still worried about how he will speak when he sees Wang Xueqian later?  After all, it was Miss Song who was at fault. If she did something wrong, it was also equivalent to the Song family doing something wrong.  But when I saw the huge crowd, I suddenly felt less embarrassed.  Because he and Miss Song San could not come forward at all, but Wang Xueqian smiled at him from a distance.  Let his little heart flutter and dance non-stop.  Accompanying Wang Xueqian was Gu Weijun. He turned his head and glanced at the Song brothers and sisters, his expressions were as usual, and he had no idea what he was thinking in his heart.  On the contrary, he was very much looking forward to the air force performance arranged by Wang Xueqian. In Yanjing, the Beiyang military government would never dare to perform public flight performances for fear of aircraft failure. However, Wang Xueqian dared to try new things, which was indeed a bit different: "Zi  Gao, today's battle is huge! Even ordinary citizens are allowed to watch. What do you think? Isn't this specially arranged for the British??Did you see it?  " "It was requested by the British, but I didn't mean to show off.  However, the British are stupid enough. They think that they can analyze the strength of the Zhejiang Air Force in this way, which is a bit too naive.  "Wang Xueqian admired the thinking of the British. Who would show off their trump card. Especially when the enemy and we are unknown and it is clear to spy on military intelligence? But Gu Weijun didn't think so, let alone the Republic of China, even Japan and other Eastern countries.  When you have a lot of face, you won¡¯t lose your temper. This is the way of thinking of Eastern people. The British have been studying the East for more than a hundred years. Although it is basically out of shape, at least it is.  Knowing that the Orientals are good at face, Wang Xueqian may show off his background. Among the British diplomatic delegation this time, there are aircraft designers and air force officers. These people are the ones who control the future of the British Air Force.  , but even they can hardly imagine how the Republic of China could threaten aircraft against warships, especially large warships. This is something that the British have been trying hard to explore, but have always been unable to do so. For example, aircraft attack warships.  , especially large floating warships above cruisers, is one of the important directions of the British Air Force's research, but it has never been successful. It is like trying to put together a disassembled puzzle in a dark room, but not even the first piece of the puzzle.  Can't find it. The Zhejiang Army's naval battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River provided such an opportunity for the British Navy and Air Force. It was like a ray of light, which illuminated the eyes of these aviation people. It is not difficult to see the British request.  , was prepared. Out of distrust in Lao Wang¡¯s character, Gu Weijun asked worriedly: ¡°Is something going to happen?  " "That's not the case. The most likely thing is that the British will be dissatisfied.  But it¡¯s not for the British anyway, so that¡¯s not a problem.  "Wang Xueqian looked in the direction of the airport runway. The planes were parked in the hangar, waiting to be unveiled. Gu Weijun felt something was wrong. Wasn't the Air Force performance proposed by the British? Why does it have nothing to do with the British? "Zi Gao,  You said you wouldn't fool the British. Let alone others, there must be aviation experts in the British delegation, and they can tell the truth at a glance.  Well, you are protecting military secrets, which is understandable, but you temporarily attracted so many people here, and you even provoked newspapers of all sizes in Shanghai with your bluff. When the time comes, the British will point their noses at you and see how you end up.  ?  I don't know, why are you setting up such a big battle?  " "For happiness!  "    "Happy!  " Gu Weijun tilted his head. After thinking for a long time, he could not imagine any place that could make him happy. But Wang Xueqian explained: "Brother Shaochuan, look at the people watching our own aircraft show under such a bright sun.  , Are you very enthusiastic?  " "This is considered high!  "Gu Weijun really couldn't refute. He kept tapping the handkerchief on his forehead and cheeks to absorb the sweat. Although his underwear was soaked by the heat, he still kept it calm and downplayed. He is a diplomat, and the value of this suit is  It¡¯s all about his manners, and there¡¯s a dizzying sense of nobility in his movements. Anyway, when Gu Weijun takes a bath, he looks like a concubine. Wang Xueqian also believes that compared with Gu Weijun, he is just a common person.  What is considered high? It is very high.  " "Have you seen that temporary wooden house?  At the end of the performance, when the bomb exploded, the gasoline in the wooden house suddenly ignited, and the flames rolled up into the air.  With that posture, the people in Shanghai would be indescribably shocked by the strength of the Air Force.  " Gu Weijun suddenly shook his head and said: "Something's wrong. If you just want to be happy and be in the limelight in the newspaper, do you need to do this?  " Gu Weijun looked like he knew all about you. Although he didn't say "Who knows, even the newspapers in Shanghai listen to you", the meaning was already very clear. Wang Xueqian is not the kind of politician who likes to be in the limelight.  He is a real person. How can he organize the people of Shanghai to come to Longhua Airport to watch a huge air show?  It is on sale. This is the largest investment in the aviation industry. Whether it succeeds or not depends on whether the people give it face.  The Air Force originally wanted to organize such a performance, but this was not done at the same time as the British requested.  " "Are you here to sell lottery tickets?  Gu Weijun said in confusion: "But why don't you use the best?"  " "How can ordinary people understand which aircraft are good and which aircraft are bad?  Any plane that can fly into the sky is a good airplane.  Besides, it¡¯s just for fun, just like a commercial performance.  "Wang Xueqian said casually. He also pointed at the explosive person for whom he had high hopes.At this point, he said with a smile: "Then the bomb will fall over the house, explode, and flames will rise into the sky. This show will be over." "What if the bomb misses?"  ?" Gu Weijun doesn't think planes can drop bombs so accurately, right?  Wang Xueqian said calmly: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. The bomb will not explode, but the explosives planted in the wooden house are artificially controlled. Just ignite the explosives when you see them. It is absolutely foolproof." Gu Weijun felt that he was too upright. How could he?  Standing with people like Wang Xueqian, it seems that we are still in the same camp.  I lamented in my heart: Lao Wang, you can't keep fooling me like this, can you?  "Aren't you afraid that foreign reporters will say this performance is worthless?" Gu Weijun seemed a little unwilling.  Wang Xueqian smiled and said: "Shaochuan, do you dare to make a bet? Regardless of what reporters say, the British experts must say that the Republic of China Air Force is very powerful, and the British Air Force officers will also agree that the latest British aircraft have reached a certain level.  There is no leading advantage." Gu Weijun felt that this statement was a bit exaggerated, but he still felt that it was not a bad thing in his heart: "Is this better than scolding the Republic of China Air Force for being inferior?" Wang Xueqian looked at Gu Weijun with a strange look, and then  The reporter looked a little embarrassed by Wang Xueqian's burning eyes, and finally some embarrassment appeared on his face.  Then Wang Xueqian asked: "Brother Shaochuan, didn't you take the initiative to ask for funds from the cabinet?" "This" Gu Weijun blushed a little no matter how good his psychological quality was, but he really didn't.  Cao Kun wanted to give it to him, so he took it. If Cao Kun didn't give it to him, he held it in place.  Anyway, his wife is rich, so he doesn't care about money. But when he was an ambassador in the United States, the Embassy of the Republic of China in the United States was too dilapidated to be inhabitable. Huang Huilan paid for the repairs.  With such high integrity and integrity, among the officials of the Republic of China, he was definitely an outlier among the outliers.  Wang Xueqian believed that the British Air Force officers would definitely think that Wang Xueqian was hiding "high-end" weapons and would not let them see them. Then they thought that the aircraft mastered by Wang Xueqian were more advanced than the British Air Force.  As an overlord, this is absolutely intolerable!  The cabinet allocates funds, the aircraft company takes the research and development expenses, and then takes over the Air Force order. This is definitely not a small amount of money, but a huge amount of money that can easily reach tens of millions of pounds.  If he were an officer of the British Air Force, he could observe the air show of the Republic of China up close.  In front of the media, he showed a little embarrassment and gave the Air Force of the Republic of China a not high evaluation.  But in the internal report, it must be written that the fighter jets of the Republic of China Air Force are already more advanced than those of the British Empire.  As long as the cabinet is frightened and a large amount of military expenditures are allocated, everyone in the air force will be grateful to him, and this officer's promotion path is just around the corner.  Soldiers are fed and housed in military camps, and even officers are still supported by the state.  They don't care if Britain has an economic crisis, as long as it spends military money.  Not long after the conversation between the two came to an end, the hangar door opened.  Six planes lined up together and were dragged out by cars and appeared on the runway.  Everyone at the scene immediately craned their necks to look, hoping to get a closer look.  With the roar of the motor, the general audience shouted excitedly.  This is the planethe plane that made the Republic of China lose face and the British suffered defeat.  A high-end weapon, an artifact that can fly in the air and fight warships.  In short, the effect of the excitement for laymen is very good as soon as it appears.  But the faces of many people in the British delegation suddenly darkened, because the planes Wang Xueqian took out were all old-fashioned Xibei products.  The puppy fighter that was eliminated by the British at the beginning of the European War at least looks similar.  (~^~)
