Republic of China game

Yang Yuting lowered his head respectfully, as if he was being scolded with lowered eyebrows, but he was relieved in his heart.Hearing what the commander said, the matter of provocation on the Middle East Road has been finalized, but if the matter becomes serious, everyone will go out to resist to the end... But according to Zeng Qi's analysis, the chance of this happening is almost zero.He said that the focus of the Soviets was on the west, facing countries such as Poland, Germany and Finland.The main force will not be transferred to Asia to invade China. This conflict is at best an apology and returning the Middle East Road to others.This matter is nothing at all, anyway, no one in the Feng family, including the Japanese, really wants to take back the Middle East Road.

Seeing that the old man had finished his training, Yang Yuting hurriedly stood at attention and saluted the military neatly: "I understand you, I understand. If the Soviets want to invade on a large scale this time, all of us will go out of the customs and fight until the last person One shot, never retreat, even if you die, you will die on the land of the Northeast!"

Zhang Zuolin raised his head to the sky, his brows were still tightly frowned, and he let out a long sigh: "Lingge, we must show the spirit of not sacrificing life and death, but also resisting to the end. Do you know why?" Yang Yuting replied, and he ordered himself: "This time the possibility of the Soviets really invading on a large scale is almost non-existent... But we have to act like this, it is for others to see. That other person is Japan! Only by letting everyone in Japan know our determination can we boldly use troops in the pass, do you understand?"

……

If we say that the current Northland is in a state of depression.However, the entire land of southern China is filled with a strange vitality.

This kind of vitality is unimaginable in Beijing.

The "Secret Sino-German Treaty" seems to be the starting gun for the industrial take-off of South China.All kinds of machinery and equipment, and various types of professional and technical personnel, came in a steady stream on ships.A committee composed of experts from China and Germany is responsible for helping this country establish a complete heavy industry. At the same time, it is also looking for various resources in the entire southern country that are useful for Germany to rebuild its military force and destroy world peace...

The talents recruited by this expert committee in various ways were not put into the construction in full swing right away.Instead, it was stuffed into various schools.Coal mine engineers, experienced coal mining workers, chemical industry technicians, steelmaking experts and skilled workers, mechanical engineers, ship engineers... and even officers from the army, navy and air force have been recruited from all over Germany to join various fields. Such schools are prepared to pass on the advanced technology and knowledge they have mastered to their Chinese students with "reservations"... However, the knowledge imparted by these Germans is still enough for their students to play an important role in future positions. role.

At the same time when various training courses started to teach step by step, the design blueprint of an aircraft factory was brought to Luo Yaoguo's desk by a German engineer named Wilhelm Emmel Messerschmidt.

Luo Yaoguo looked at the slightly bald German with an exaggeratedly high forehead, and was taken aback for a moment: "You are Mr. Wilhelm Messerschmidt!"

"Yes, the Bavarian Aircraft Factory sent me to serve as the chief engineer of the Sino-German Aircraft Company." Messerschmidt replied in fluent English with a London accent.

Of course, Luo Yaoguo had known this news for a long time, but he couldn't help being a little excited when he met the designer of BF-109 in World War II for the first time!He never imagined that BMW would actually send such a god-level engineer to the Sino-German aircraft factory that was under construction... Although the god is still very young, only 29 years old, and he has just joined BMW, he seems to have Never designed an airplane...

Due to the restrictions of the "Treaty of Versailles", Germany cannot develop and develop military aircraft in its own country. Although it can be done secretly, it will not be successful after all.On the one hand, it is difficult to achieve perfection in secret design and manufacturing. On the other hand, major German aircraft manufacturers are now seriously short of funds.For example, the Bavarian Aircraft Manufacturing Plant that Messerschmidt worked for is now merged with the Bavarian Machinery Plant, which is BMW, and barely maintains it.So from the beginning of this Sino-German cooperation, the enthusiasm of these German aircraft manufacturers was much higher than that of other industries, and they immediately participated in the establishment of the Sino-German aircraft manufacturers.

"You want us to provide a sum of money?" Luo Yaoguo picked up the plan sent by Messerschmidt, carefully read it, and asked some questions from time to time.

"Yes, to tell you the truth, the current difficulties of our German aircraft industry are unimaginable, and...we are already behind." Messerschmidt frowned slightly, and sighed deeply: "If it wasn't for If you come to cooperate with us, in another ten years, my country's aircraft manufacturing industry will probably cease to exist. So... this time, we also need your loan for the capital contribution of our joint venture with your country, and we also need some The funds are used to purchase the technology patents of Pratt & Whitney in the United States.”

“梅塞施密特先生，您是说普惠R-1340黄蜂式发动机的技术专利吗？”罗耀国前世就是空军飞行员，自然知道大名鼎鼎的美国普惠公司，也知道他们推出的第一款发动机R-1340黄蜂式。在这款发动机的基础上，德国的BMW公司推出了BMW132和后来的BMW801、BMW802。不过历史上BMW公司是1929年才从美国人手里面买到了R-1340的技术……没想到这个时空提前到了1927年。

Messerschmidt nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you have heard of this engine, that's great. There are two lines of current aircraft engine technology, one is a liquid-cooled in-line engine, and this On the one hand, we still have some advantages now. The other is this air-cooled radial engine... We hope to carry out the manufacture and development of this engine in the aircraft engine factory of the Sino-German Aircraft Manufacturing Company in the future. And BMW The company's engineers also hope to develop a radial engine with more than 1340 horsepower on the basis of this R-600 Wasp, which will be used to equip the future military aircraft of the Sino-German Aircraft Company... The technical patent of this new engine will be developed by both parties Sharing, and your engineers can also go to Germany to participate in R&D work. But you need to pay 50% of the R&D expenses.”

Chapter 0309 Middle East Road ([-])

With a faint smile on his face, Luo Yaoguo quietly listened to the seemingly harsh conditions offered by the other party. BMW's wishful thinking is probably to take the money from the Chinese to develop their engines, and then sell them to the Chinese Air Force, right?What an empty glove white wolf trick!What is exchanged is nothing more than "technology sharing" and allowing Chinese engineers to participate in research and development... Hehe, the current aircraft engine engineers in China are probably still in college and have not graduated?

只是眼下中国是别无选择，而且未来的中国空军也的确很需要BMW公司的星型发动机。罗耀国对二战中星型发动机和直列式发动机的性能差别还是非常了解到，基本上星型发动机有马力大和战场生存能力佳等优点。缺点则是高空性能不佳、机头过大遮挡视线等。不过中国未来的主要对手日本，应该也不会开发什么B-29之类的高空轰炸机吧？所以高空性能也就不太重要了。历史上活跃在太平洋战场上的零战、F4、F6和P47都是使用星型发动机的。而且美国人的B-17、B-24、B-29等大型轰炸机上面也都装着普惠公司的黄蜂系列星型发动机……

"Okay." Luo Yaoguo nodded and said with a smile, "We can agree to your request, but... I hope that the Sino-German Aircraft Manufacturing Company can design and manufacture fighter jets and dive bombers suitable for the Chinese battlefield before 1931... It is a light bomber that uses dive bombing as its main attack method."

Seeing that the other party agreed to BMW's request so readily, Messerschmidt was overjoyed, and he also agreed to Luo Yaoguo's request: "General Luo, please rest assured, we promise that before 1931 we can come up with products that can satisfy China. The air force is satisfied with the aircraft. But... the premise is that our aircraft factory can start construction immediately. I have visited your aircraft factory in Shaoguan before, er, it was built with Russian aid, right? This factory is generally OK Once it can be used, my plan is to expand the Sino-German aircraft factory on the basis of the Shaoguan aircraft factory. Build an engine factory, an aircraft research and development base, a large wind tunnel, and a batch of parts factories..."

The Shaoguan Aircraft Factory is a small aircraft factory established three years ago with a loan from the Soviet Union. It is also the only aircraft factory under the Ministry of Armaments. It can manufacture and repair some old Soviet obsolete aircraft.However, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Soviet Union is getting colder now, and they have stopped supplying parts, so this aircraft factory is now in a state of semi-stop production.Building a new factory on its basis is a shortcut.The only risk is getting too close to the shoreline...

"Okay, I agree with your plan." Luo Yaoguo did not hesitate for too long and supported this plan. With the current progress of South China's heavy industry construction... maybe Little Japan will not be able to reach Guangdong by 1938, right?

……

In Zhengzhou, Henan, the sign of the General Command of the National Coalition Army has just been hung up.

Liao Zhongkai and other leftist leaders also moved from Kaifeng to this emerging city. This will be the base camp for the leftists of the Kuomintang and the National Alliance to participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains.During this period of time, the leftists took the lead in the opening battle of the Central Plains hegemony, so Liao Zhongkai was in a good mood and looked much younger.

"Mr. Liao, our party is now fighting hard against the reactionaries in Shanxi, and we urgently need the cooperation of your National Coalition Army. The current situation in the north is that our party, the National Coalition Army, and the reactionary forces headed by the Fengtian Central Government are three-legged... If our party this time After being defeated by the reactionaries, it might be your turn next, right?"

The person who said this was Xuan Xiafu, who is now the deputy director of the Political Department of the National Alliance Army.In fact, it is the general representative of the Chinese Communist Party in the National Coalition Army, responsible for coordinating the relationship between the two parties.In the past few days, he has been urging the National Coalition Army to send out the Northern Expedition every day and take joint actions with the CCP.

Liao Zhongkai put down the document he was reviewing with a smile, and glanced at Deng Yanda, the chief of staff of the National Coalition Army who was sitting aside, only smiling and saying nothing: "Zhesheng, you are our chief of staff, you have more military affairs than me. The right to speak. Tell me, should we go to the Northern Expedition now?"

Deng Yanda just smiled. He has a clear understanding of the current thoughts of various factions in North China.Now North China looks like a Three Kingdoms.With the central government and a large number of reactionary warlords, he is Cao Cao, who holds the title of the central government and commands the world.The Nationalist Coalition Army is a bit like Sun Wu now, sitting on most of Henan and Shaanxi, backed by the KMT mountain, it is considered to have an advantageous location.And the CCP is now a bit like Uncle Liu. Although the territory is not big, it has the greatest potential with people and unity, and the army is good at fighting.

And today's alliance between the National Alliance Army and the CCP is a bit like the Sun Liu Alliance of the Three Kingdoms.When the two sides were oppressed by the Feng faction, they were still able to unite as one, but once life improved... everyone seemed to be at odds with each other.After all, the three kingdoms will be united in the end!

But how do we deal with the CCP now?To be honest, Deng Yanda also felt a headache.Now the CCP and the reactionaries are fighting hard in Shanxi. Although they still have the upper hand, they can vaguely see the decline.The Red Second Front Army did not take any further actions after taking down Datong. It is estimated that the casualties were a little higher, or it may have been threatened by the Feng army from the direction of Chahar, so they had to divide their troops and return to defense.The red army on the one hand seems to be in some trouble now. The Jin army has received assistance from the Zhijun army from Henan, and it seems that it has stabilized its position.If the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Feng family join the battle group again... the Central Red Army is likely to return home in defeat.

If the Central Red Army retreats back to Suiyuan in northern Shaanxi, the next one the Feng faction will have to deal with will inevitably be the Nationalist Coalition Army.It's really a bit cold-hearted!

"Brother Zesheng, now is the critical moment of the revolution! Everything is within your grasp!"

While Deng Yanda was meditating, Xuan Xiafu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.As if awakened from his own thoughts by Xuan Xiafu's words, Deng Yanda let out a groan, and there was no longer a trace of smile on his face, only frowning as if he was thinking hard.

"Mr. Liao, Soul of the Sword. Right now our national coalition forces are actually not unified. Although Feng Huanzhang's first army has a large number of people, its combat effectiveness is not strong, and it suffered heavy losses in the previous war, and its morale is now somewhat low... However, our Second Army’s combat effectiveness is not a problem, and its morale is also high. But this number is a bit small. If you don’t count the troops recruited by the Yuyi Division, it is currently only 3 people, and it seems insufficient to guard more than half of Henan. Do you still have the spare energy to help the CCP attack Shanxi? Otherwise... how about we bluff when we announce it, and put on an air of going to the Northern Expedition?"

Liao Zhongkai smiled slightly, and looked at Xuan Xiafu: "Jian Hun, do you think this is okay? We are just bluffing. If we scare the Feng Faction, maybe they will concentrate their forces on the front line of Handan to prepare for our Northern Expedition."

Father Xuan Xia frowned tightly, thought for a while, and then nodded helplessly: "Okay, let's scare Zhang Zuolin, if only he can be scared."

……

At the end of December of the 15th year of the Republic of China.

The streets and alleys of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province were suddenly filled with countless officers and soldiers of the National Alliance Army.According to inquiries from these officers and soldiers by those who are interested, it seems that the elites of the various ministries of the National Alliance Army have gathered in Zhengzhou. It seems that the National Alliance Army is about to start the Northern Expedition soon.

And not long after, there were rumors that the National Alliance Army had assembled 20 soldiers in Zhengzhou, and in January next year it would cross the Yellow River north to capture Zhili and the capital, and then welcome Sun Yat-sen to the north to take charge.

The rumor spread along the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway, and within a few days it became very popular, and everyone in the world knew about it.

Naturally, the Zhang family and his son in Beijing Zhongnanhai also got the news.

In Ju Ren Tang's study room, the confidantes of Zhang's father and son gathered together, everyone looked solemn and held their breath, as if there was some earth-shattering event to be decided at today's meeting.

Suddenly, there was a snap.Zhang Zuolin jumped up against the case, raised his right hand and pointed into the distance, cursing: "Feng, Liao, you fucking bastards! You already have Henan and are greedy, it's only been a few days! They are coming to seize our Zhili and Beijing, they are not afraid of choking! This time they have pushed our Fengjun to a dead end, and the only plan for the present is to start a war on the Middle East Road, turning a civil war into a national war! If they are not afraid of being pointed at If the backbone scolds the traitors, as long as the conflict with the Soviet Union is combined, our internal worries will naturally be alleviated. I have called you here today to hear your opinions at the end? If you want to, you can make it clear here. No more tongue-twisting is allowed at the door. We, the Fengjun, must unite as one, and we will surely pass this hurdle! Well, everyone speaks out if they have something to say, and lets fart away if they have something to say!"

Looking at the murderous Zhang Zuolin, how dare the generals standing below have any different opinions?Besides... the current situation of the Feng Department is really bad.As soon as the news that the Nationalist Allied Forces were about to make the Northern Expedition came out, the votes on the market fell by more than half!If it falls any further, this ticket will become useless paper, and then I don't know what to use to pay the hundreds of thousands of troops?

"No one wants to speak, is it?" Zhang Zuolin glanced at his subordinates with wide eyes, nodded and said, "That's good, we will be united like this. Now I order that from January [-] next year, the Middle East Road will be taken back." Sovereignty, Little Six (Zhang Xueliang), you are responsible for implementing this matter! The Middle East Railway must be returned to the country's hands intact..."

"... Zeng Muhan (Zeng Qi) is in charge of propaganda and diplomacy. You must let the people of the whole country know that we are driving out foreign powers. We are good people. Whoever opposes us is a traitor and a traitor!"

Chapter 0310 Defending the Soviet Union ([-])

January [-], [-] AD.

Datong, Shanxi.

The battle is over, after the fierce battle, the city wall of Datong is a dilapidated scene, and the moats at the top of the city are full of black and purple blood.However, the situation in the city was fine. After the Red Army broke through the city that day, the defending Jin army had no fighting spirit and disarmed one after another, so there was no street fighting.

The entire ancient city of Datong is still largely intact, but the market is somewhat depressed.The commercial area around the Drum Tower in the center of the city is now deserted, and most of the shops on both sides of the street are closed.There are bright red flags on the top of the door to show respect to the new owner... It's just that the owner inside the shop is often trembling, chanting the Buddha's name with his eyes closed, praying for the protection of the gods and Buddhas.On the contrary, the usual low-browed and pleasing-looking guys were all in high spirits, chatting with relish about the new things they heard from various mass meetings not long ago.

"Hey, brothers, have you heard? It is said that the Red Army is the army of our poor, and it helps us fight the world! It's all about killing the rich and helping the poor."

"Your news is out of date! We all know it. By the way, do you know the name of the commander in the Red Army? Let me tell you, his surname is Su and his name is Shangweixiaai. The government he established is called the Soviet. government."

"Soviet? This name...is easy to pronounce."

"Hush, keep your voice down. The name of Marshal Su is something people like you and I can call him? Let's call him respectfully: Su Weishuai! Or Weishuai, it's more friendly..."

"Oh, yes, yes, it's called Wei Shuai. I heard that the old man Wei Shuai proposed to defend the Soviet Union these days. Is this Soviet Union the old man of our Wei Shuai's family?"
