Vol 3 Chapter 233: New Era

When the Chinese people hurried past the unprecedentedly high construction enthusiasm of the Chinese people for five years, the land of China finally ushered in the great achievements of the successful construction of the five-year economic plan.
No one has ever believed that, as if overnight, China has undergone dramatic upheavals, especially in places other than the southwestern and eastern coasts.
Those cities that were still ruined yesterday have streets, shops, and newly built big cities, maybe not large, maybe only one million people, but every city is full of warehouses. Pedestrians are like weaving. Buildings can be seen everywhere in a row, with unified planning and construction.
Those Chinese who were still eating bran and drinking thinner yesterday have basically solved the problem of eating after five years. The government's policy is to ensure basic food and clothing, and not to starve people during natural disasters.
Those Chinese who were wearing hessian clothes five years ago have begun to buy cheap synthetic fabrics. They only need to sell a medium-sized pig or go to the city and work site for a week to work. Barely change the family's basic wear for 1 year.
Those landowners who were desperately squeezing peasants five years ago, or the rebels were seized in accordance with the law, or the conservatives were eating in the mountains, or the enlightened were transferred to a new industry under the guidance of the government, and they followed the new rules of industry survival Make big money or go bankrupt.
Those Chinese who traveled by far door only yesterday on two legs or a ox cart or horse riding, finally saw the power of industrialization, and the sound of a banging train could go thousands of miles a night. In cities, rickshaws are no longer running around, tricycle drivers yell everywhere, and there is a bus platform on each street where buses run faster than trams and charges are cheaper than trams. These municipalities are invested and built by the government Traffic engineering, not for profit, can buy an interchangeable ticket for a penny, allowing you to reach any street in the city.
And the most convincing is that after five years of huge economic construction, coupled with the original strong industrial base of the Southwest, China's industrial output value has reached the same level as the weakened empires of Britain and France, and has risen strongly, becoming the United States, Germany, After the Soviet Union, a new rising country.
When the wheels of time finally rolled into 1938, the world situation was very different from five years ago, and an increasingly intense cloud of war began to envelope the world.
In Asia, the Myanmar People's Army seeking independence took a shocking approach to the world by hiring Japanese soldiers to fight, so the Japanese began to participate in the war. Maybe at first it was just a war involving tens of thousands of people. Perhaps from the beginning, the manpower paid by the Japanese was paid in return for Myanmar's employment funds and German foreign aid, and then bought a large number of goods in China and shipped them back to China.
However, as the time entered 1938, the Japanese who gradually began to participate in the war in Myanmar discovered that the fighting power of the British, at least the fighting force of the British and even the French in the Far East, was low, making it impossible to believe that this was a colonial army of the old empire. With their help, the entire Burmese People's Army system was backed by the logistical support of the Chinese, and the Japanese army paid the casualties of more than 2,000 Japanese troops. Tuo Zhong led the 100,000 troops into Mandela.
The victory at hand, the vast expanse of land, the abundance of food, fruits, rubber, oil and gas, precious stones, emeralds, gold, etc., have made the Japanese see a huge temptation.
The Japanese have never been so surprised to find out that there is still a place in Asia in the world that can allow the imperial army to run freely without making huge sacrifices. Once, they thought the empire's farm was China, but now they find that the future of the empire can be in Southeast Asia in addition to the Far East.
Moreover, due to the strong support of the Germans for Japan, even after Japan entered the war as a mercenary, Britain and France still maintained appropriate protests. They only occasionally inspected Japanese ships passing the Malacca Strait and never took actual action. This has made the Japanese notice that as long as they do not fight the deadly war with China, a world-class power in the near future, they will be able to mobilize millions or even tens of millions of troops to occupy the Russian Far East and British and French Southeast Asian colonies. .
After years of recuperation after the defeat, coupled with the recent situation and the above-mentioned reasons, the attitude of the Japanese government has slowly changed dramatically. The Japanese government sent a secret military and political representative group to the Chinese New Year in the Chinese New Year in 1938. Hanjing, China, met with senior officials of the Chinese government, hoping to seek further 'range of activities' in Southeast Asia. Of course, the Japanese hope that this 'enlarged range of activities', which was granted by Hitler, will be understood and supported by the Chinese government. Or even 'paid logistics supplies'.
In return, Japan will fully support all Chinese actions in Myanmar, and guarantee the absolute security of Chinese in Southeast Asia, as well as Japanese diasporas, and even imply that it will not rule out the use of slaughter to protect Chinese diasporas. In addition, the Japanese promised that once the war expanded and it was difficult for Japan's maritime transport to ensure large-scale combat needs, as long as the Chinese were willing to provide logistical support nearby, most of the Japanese logistics procurement in Southeast Asia operations, even firearms and ammunition, were It can be done in China in the form of resource trading or gold trading.
The Chinese government is not in a hurry to answer the Japanese. After all, this barbaric country has begun to show its huge adventurous tusks, it just thinks that the Myanmar issue has not been properly resolved and it is not appropriate to talk about other issues for the time being.
However, the Japanese government is full of confidence, because according to the return of the 'Burmese mercenaries', at the invitation of Tuozhong, the Chinese government's railway construction has actually accelerated, and the British did not have time to oppose it, in 1938 The day before the new year, the first section of the transnational railroad was formally placed on the Myanmar side of the China-Myanmar border, which also means that a real China-Myanmar aorta began to build in the direction of Myanmar.
The Japanese know that China dared to start the China-Myanmar Railway only after being invited by a 'Myanmar Interim People's Government'. What was revealed behind it was its mighty strength. The Chinese seem not to participate in the war, no matter how fiercely many parties fight, but the Japanese know that as long as the so-called "justified" railway built after the official invitation of the so-called Myanmar leader is blocked by the British, the Chinese will A million elite soldiers are bound to kill all the way to India.
And this railway line that China is bound to receive has become the biggest help for the Japanese. After all, I am not alone, and there is still a faint China behind only a blurred border with Southeast Asia.
Therefore, the Japanese believe that in the future Southeast Asia, women are already undressed.
On the European side, just after the Chinese New Year, something that shocked the world happened.
After the formation of the three axes of Berlin-Rome-Tokyo, Austria, sandwiched directly in the middle, did not escape the fate of annexation.
On March 11, 1938, at 8 pm on the 11th, Nazi party Seth Inquart became the Austrian Prime Minister with the support of Germany. However, due to the intensification of the contradiction between the former Prime Minister Shusnig and the domestic nationalist class such as the Nazi Party, Seth Inquart asked Hitler for help. In fact, Hitler, who was already impatient, even earlier issued a plan to enter Austria and completely annex Austria, thereby gaining greater bargaining chips with Britain, France and other countries in the future. The annexation of Austria meant more resources, population, factories, and strategic depth. Wait and get in touch with Italy directly.
Although the situation in Austria has long foreseen politics in countries such as Britain and France, they have ordered the Germans to increase military budgets and expand the existing army.
A few days later, the Germans and Italians happily shared the fruits of the victory of Austria, which was already the meal of the day, and the encouraged Hitler and Mussolini ordered to speed up the pace of war preparations and train more 'reserves' The army 'makes more weapons and reserves more resources.
However, what is unknown to outsiders is that the Chinese government's secret representative met Hitler many times to exchange views on the current situation between China and Germany.
During this period, Zhang Shusheng wrote a letter to Hitler. When the letter acknowledged the urgency of the German war, Hitler fully reminded Hitler to note that when the war goes on indefinitely, Germany may face more enemies, more Powerful, how to strengthen the German war preparations and arrange some more strategically arranged plans is in line with the European strategy of the Third Reich.
At the same time, Zhang Shusheng once again reminded that if Germany would regard Soviet Russia as an opponent of war, it would be necessary to fully consider the vast territory of the red Soviet Russia. Even if the attack was successful, it would be difficult to resolve the fighting in the short term. Moreover, the cold winter of the Soviet Union would be Germany Issues that have to be taken seriously. Otherwise, Germany will likely repeat the French mistake.
The solution was simple: strengthen fascist control over the Japanese and urge the Japanese government to focus more on the Soviet Far East.
Zhang Shusheng didn't know how effective this was. After all, although later generations thought that the Germans had rushed to start a war without being fully prepared. However, who knows that a country, a head of state, and a war, unless a person from time and space like Zhang Shusheng can anticipate the trend, who can see the future?
The best strategists cannot accurately foresee something that may happen tomorrow, not to mention the high political and military strategies of the country.
There was another reason for the Germans to start the war urgently, that is, the chariot could not stop. If it did not find a wall and ran into it, it was likely to overturn because of too fast speed. Only by defeating the opponent one by one could the German war be guaranteed. The car was able to follow Hitler's will to the fullest extent.
However, regarding the various contradictions facing Germany, Zhang Shusheng said nothing. He only hoped that Germany would be stronger in the war, not that Hitler would become a better politician. But in the letter, Zhang Shusheng reiterated some questions about the Jews, boldly predicting that in some time in the future, the two countries will achieve deeper cooperation with the Jews.
Hitler personally wrote a reply to Zhang Shusheng. In the letter, the head of the Third Reich praised China's great achievements in economic construction in the past five years, and was extremely happy about the launch of China's second large aircraft carrier. He believes that China is fully capable and obliged to have the right to play a more important role in Asia and the world as a whole, and thus once again informally invite China to join the Axis Group.
As for the several suggestions mentioned by Zhang Shusheng, Hitler avoided them and only considered them seriously. After all, the person who wrote to him was not a staff member of his headquarter base, but a potential Asian ally. But in urging the Japanese to take measures, Hitler showed a strong interest, saying that 'at least the Japanese should cause some awkward troubles for the Soviets.'
Obviously, Hitler had not foreseen how powerful the wild animals of the entire nation would be after the crazy Japanese gave up the goal of China.
Hitler gladly agreed to the Jewish question mentioned by Zhang Shusheng, and welcomed the Chinese government to send someone to discuss it at any time. Regarding the 'damn waste of German resources, leading to high unemployment in Germany, damage to German economic security, and danger to German national security. Nation ', this Hitler who only used to transfer ethnic contradiction and based on ethnic contradiction, naturally wanted to drive the Jews out and kill them.
Finally, Hitler also expressed the hope to deepen cooperation with China in economic, military, political, and diplomatic matters. At the same time, he hoped that Zhang Shusheng would be able to visit Germany at an appropriate time, and he would accompany him in person.
Not to mention the ever-changing world situation, just to say that in China, the fruits of economic construction have caused a great change in society, and also caused a change in thinking. And while the entire human civilization is brewing an unprecedented world war, Zhang Shusheng is also actively preparing for it through an alternative form.
Southwest, Yibin.
This is the Bell and Drum Tower Street of New Yibin City. It is backed by the lush green mountain
Cuiping Mountain
. It looks like a leisurely mountain city. Most of the buildings on both sides of the street are unified planning buildings with six or seven floors. There are no tall buildings that are too high, but they are equipped with spacious streets with full facilities, but they give a modern city feel.
Although Yibin is not a provincial capital city, it is because it is located in the main road of southwest traffic and has the lofty status of the "Birthplace of the Chairman" promoted by the Ba'ath Party propaganda organization. As the first city on the Yangtze River, its development has not lagged behind many provincial capitals The city, dubbed 'Little Chengdu', is the second largest integrated city in Sichuan and the first high-tech city. Zongchang Airport is one of the two national airports in Sichuan, and the other is Shuangliu Airport. The traffic here is convenient, and there are direct water, land and air links, and there are direct highways and rebuilt new railways between Chengdu and Chengdu. In addition, there are as many dense universities and more scientific research units as Chengdu.
It can be said that there are various universities, research institutes, and high-precision manufacturing plants along the Minjiang River.
"Brother, change the channel, please, change the channel. Today is my birthday. I want to watch a drama broadcast on National TV."
Bell and Drum Tower, 1225, Room 305.
In the living room, a cute little girl of eleven or twelve years old, wearing a pair of pigtails in Yibin No. 1 primary school uniform, was shaking her brother sitting on a bamboo chair next to her, urging him to change channels.
"During the new year's recruitment ceremony held yesterday, Comrade Xu Zhengqian, deputy chief of staff of the Southwest Police Command, came to the recruitment recruitment site in Yibin ..."
On the table in front of the two was a rainbow-colored black-and-white TV. The black-and-white screen played a news report from Southwest TV about the recruitment scene this year.
Although televisions can only enter more affluent families today, television programs are being enriched day by day. As one of the important publicity tools in the future, television programs in news and publicity will always be more important.
"Wang Mingjuan, if you are noisy again, I will go back to school."
The young man in his early twenties was Wang Mingjuan's elder brother, Wang Mingjun, who was studying in the third year of Xuzhou University. His ambition has always been to study for the country. In that year, he did not enter the army because he was not tall enough.
Like other young people, he cares about current affairs and likes to watch the news, not like these little girls, he likes plays or classical shows, and a few TV shows.
"Let's go, I'll accompany you to buy a birthday present, and then I will send you to my grandma's house. Grandpa will go to the streets to play the waste heat. You go to the grandma's house to finish this birthday. Anyway, there is no one in the family, so I should go back to school earlier. "These days are the school's Qingming Festival holiday. Wang Mingjun's parents are not on holiday. One is a soldier and the other is a scientific researcher. Even Wang Mingjuan ’s birthday, the couple could n’t return. One child in the family went to college and one child was in the fifth grade. The old man at the house was responsible for picking up and going. As soon as Wang Mingjun came home, the old man ran to the street office again. Take advantage of the heat and do something good for the neighborhood. Although the family is a bit tired, the life is really good.
"Brother, just treat your most hurting sister like this." Wang Mingjuan muttered, disobeying.
"What do you know? If I hadn't promised to come back for your birthday, I would have signed up." Wang Mingjun said depressedly. The younger sister is too young to have any pain. If it is not urgent, he will definitely spend her birthday with her. At lunch, Wang Mingjun and his grandfather had a simple birthday for his sister, a few dishes she loved, and her favorite birthday cake.
"Sign up? My birthday is not as important as your signup?" Wang Mingjuan was about to cry.
"Okay, well, it's not the general registration, but the recruiting of the Flying Club of the University of Xuzhou. When the first two years ago, the number of places was limited. This year, we must grab a place anyway. I missed this afternoon Forecast name, I will wait until next year. "
Wang Mingjun said enviously that this college flying club is one of the two flying clubs in Yibin. One is the Volkswagen Flying Club, which is open to the entire society and can only be accessed after assessment, and the other is the Flying Club of the University, which is open to students of institutions of higher learning.
This is a major policy implemented by the government in recent years.
Every municipal administrative unit has a Volkswagen Flying Club and a college flying club. In addition to regular training, it also has holiday training. Each club's aircraft configuration specifications, uniform use of cheap, low-speed, safe wooden biplanes, the number depends on the situation. For students who perform well in the club, they can enter the elite class, receive more in-depth guidance, and fly more advanced aircraft.
As a result, the Ministry of National Defense has opened numerous flying clubs nationwide at a very low cost.
The only troublesome problem is how to equip each flying club with a qualified pilot instructor and ensure that these students can learn the minimum aviation knowledge. But the result was obviously good. Many students took the aviation textbooks as thick as bricks and went home. They just learned it after school hours and then went back to the club to ask the teachers for answers.
Since this plan was proposed by Zhang Shusheng, it was initially implemented in several places in 1935. From the more than 5,000 active pilots and reserve pilots in each squadron of the Air Force (the number of pilots does not represent the number of aircraft), Rotate excellent fighter pilots, transport pilots, and bomber pilots to those clubs, and take turns to teach from literature to military with graduates of outstanding aerospace disciplines who serve as theoretical instructors, and implement militarized management within the club. Starting from basic aviation theory knowledge, the pilot instructor selects particularly outstanding students from the trainees to take the flight, and then after a period of time, these students who fly for several months take the other students to fly.
Of course, those who fail the assessment during the period will be eliminated like those who cannot pass even the rotating machine assessment.
Fortunately, the aircraft of this era had simpler structures, fewer equipment and instruments, slower flight speeds, and much lower requirements for pilots. Just like the United States on the other side of the ocean, a farmer who may still be flying an aircraft to spray pesticides on his farm may be a U.S. Air Force pilot wearing a military uniform in a few years only because he is not just a farmer , Is also a cultural club pilot.
It may not be clear to others, but Zhang Shusheng is very clear. The future of China will require a huge number of pilots, which can never be achieved through military training step by step. Just as in the history of World War II, an American super ace pilot was originally from a private The aircraft gained flying experience.
It ’s just that Zhang Shusheng has gone further than Americans. Through government action, he started a large-scale training of 'reserve pilots' a few years in advance. Once needed during the war, they will quickly make up for the serious shortage of pilots. You know, the Russians alone reached tens of thousands of planes in the late war, and the pilots were tens of thousands, not to mention the more perverted American soldiers. The pilots alone could arm half a group army.
Zhang Shusheng is very clear that when the World War II hits the real heat, the troops on all sides, not counting others, will be locust-level only. Of course, every country encountered a serious shortage of pilots in the late war, because originally, Americans produced nearly 300,000 aircraft in World War II. In the end, it was not the pilots who were shot down, but only those who could Start the plane and follow the American Army of Air Locusts.
Therefore, Zhang Shusheng believes that China must have an air force that is strong enough to compete with Americans. The number of aircraft, the two sides to start production lines, build more factories, can produce thousands or even tens of thousands a month, but pilots, without a few years of work in advance, when the time can not always catch infantry on the plane to fight.
The whole plan is so simple. By the end of 1939, the military's active and reserve pilots must reach more than 10,000, while civilian registration is on the register, and after a short period of time, combat training can provide pilots in airlift operations, which must reach a larger number. . In this way, when World War II entered its climax, China could come up with a huge aerial locust swarm composed of elite-level elite air forces and excellent locust air corps.
In this way, from the beginning of the difficulties, to the establishment of more and more flying clubs, until the time entered 1938, all major cities across the country, two types of flying clubs were set up for young people who are interested in flying the sky open.
Under this gradually mature club model, there are already four batches of very outstanding club students who have passed the strict examination of the Air Force and were officially recruited into active duty, and more have passed the assessment to become reserve pilots and enter the club. Acting as a formal, part-time teacher.
Others, from then on, saw hope and marched towards the dream of flying in the blue sky or joining the Air Force.
When Wang Mingjun came to the school registration point, he unexpectedly found that the registration point was changed to a large playground. A cordon was pulled up on the playground, and an empty road 200 meters long and more than 20 meters wide was cleared.
"I'm coming"
"Look at it, it is said that it is a plane piloted by a club instructor."
The crowd finally boiled. It turned out that a small monoplane flew in the distance.
From time to time, after the aircraft flying at a low altitude flew through a beautiful field, quickly pulled the nose up to a thousand meters high, and then saw that the aircraft was rolling down skillfully under the pilot's control, and the aircraft suddenly lowered its altitude. At a height of several hundred meters, he aimed at this narrow runway again.
"Booming ..."
In the roar of the engine ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The landing wheel of this small monoplane finally touched the ground, and after stopping for more than a hundred meters from fast to slow, it finally stopped.
"Long live Long live"
Thousands of students from Xuzhou University and two nearby universities have been watching around the playground. After seeing the pilot miraculously land from the sky to the big playground, they cheered and applauded.
"Ahem ..." The pilot on the plane, wearing a People's Army Air Force Ensign uniform, saw him open the cockpit door, lifted the loudspeaker microphone in the cabin, and shouted through an additional loudspeaker on the plane,
"Today, I bring you good news. After two years of exploration, the national headquarters of the University Flying Club officially decided to increase enrollment across the country.
As instructor of the Yibin Branch of the College Pilot Club, I welcome you on behalf of our club.
The club welcomes you, the air force welcomes you, and the blue sky welcomes you. "
