Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

After the military reform meeting, the commanders of the major army groups began to go to their own bases to train their troops. They were given half a year to conduct special training for the troops. Then after the special training, the entire army would hold a competition to determine the survival of the fittest. The first place winner would be rewarded with 100 million yuan, and the last place winner would clean the entire army for a month.

After hearing the news, the commanders of the major army groups were unwilling to give in and began to work hard. As long as they could not kill themselves, they would train to death. The Qin army had 170 million soldiers ready. After selecting the soldiers, they could go directly to the garrison to start special training.

After the military reform of the army was completed, Qin Lin began to focus on the navy and air force. Now that there are coastal cities, this shipyard naturally has to be put on the agenda and construction must be accelerated.

There is also the Air Force. Now that several fighter jets have overcome difficulties, completed testing, and started mass production, Qin Lin has to go to the military factory to see the production and performance of these fighter jets before he can determine the size of the Air Force.

......

The three core figures of the Northern Sichuan Military Factory, General Director Lu Lao, Deputy Director of Scientific Research Mao Tai, and Special Supply Branch Director Gu Jinggong, were waiting for Qin Lin's arrival at the door.

A bulletproof commercial vehicle stopped at the gate, and Qin Lin got out, feeling a little tired. He had been very busy during this period, with military affairs, local construction, and business affairs. He was so busy every day that he only slept for six hours, and his body was a little exhausted. So he took a day off and came to the military factory to implement the construction of the air force.

"Young Marshal."

Mao Tai and the other three came to Qin Lin and said, "You are finally here. Now all five fighters have overcome difficulties, and the test data is very good. They have begun mass production, but the quantity is still up to you to decide, and also to name these five fighters."

"Ah."

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Let's go check out the fighter planes first."

As they spoke, a group of people came to the test site, where they could see many ferocious beasts lying on the ground, ready to enter combat status at any time.

"Codenamed 001 fighter," said Lu Lao, the head of the Sichuan North Military Factory, who had a head of white hair. "It took two years and three months to develop and test. This fighter has an empty weight of 2 kilograms. It is a single-engine, single-seat fighter. It is equipped with a 3mm cannon and two 2350mm machine guns. It has a maximum speed of 20 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 12.7 kilometers."

Lu Lao said proudly, "All the tens of thousands of hardware on the fuselage were independently developed and put into production by our Sichuan North Military Factory. The cost is 16 silver dollars. The performance is among the top three in the world. The engine and aerodynamic design can be said to have been brought to the extreme. It can be put into production first."

"If it is put into production first, what will be the output?"

"The monthly output is 300 aircraft. If Dongsheng Group helps, the monthly output can be doubled," Lu Lao replied.

"Then we will go all out to produce them," Qin Lin said after some thought, "We will initially produce 2000 of these fighters, and then upgrade and modify them later."

After finishing speaking, Lu Lao pointed at another fighter and said, "Codename 002 carrier-based fighter, empty weight 4152 kg, single-engine single-seat fighter, equipped with six 12.7 mm machine guns, maximum speed 612 kilometers per hour, maximum range 1512 kilometers. I dare to say with confidence that no carrier-based aircraft in the world can compete with this carrier-based aircraft. It's a pity that we don't have a navy!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. The construction of the navy is also included in the Shenghan Eight-Year Plan," Qin Lin said. "The second batch of returnees will return to China at the end of the year. By then, we will have someone to take the lead in the construction of our navy. In a few years, we will have our own navy."

"I am very excited."

Lu Lao pointed at a bomber again and said, "Codename 003 light bomber, this bomber has a maximum speed of 485 kilometers per hour, a range of 1100 kilometers, a bomb load of 400 kilograms of bombs, a crew of 2, and a cost of 18 yuan."

"There is also this one, codenamed 004 combat bomber, with a maximum speed of 528 kilometers per hour, a range of 2020 kilometers, a crew of 4, a bomb load of 2270 kilograms, and a cost of 35 yuan. In terms of performance, it is firmly in the top three in the world."

"The last one is the strategic bomber codenamed 005. It has a maximum speed of 558 kilometers per hour, a range of 5400 kilometers, a crew of 11, a bomb load of 6000 kilograms, and a cost of 120 million dollars."

"This strategic bomber has very advanced performance and a large fuel capacity. If necessary, three auxiliary fuel tanks with a capacity of 2400 liters can be installed in the bomb bay of the fuselage, which can ensure that the bomber can fly normally for 18 hours. The range can reach 8100 kilometers. It is the strategic bomber with the longest range in the world, and we are also the sixth country in the world to own strategic bombers."

After witnessing the performance of the five fighter jets, Qin Lin was not very surprised, because the blueprints of these fighter jets were all exchanged by him from the technology tree, and almost all of them were blueprints of fighter jets that were five years ahead of the times. Therefore, even if they were produced now, their performance would be very competitive in the world.

However, Qin Lin was very happy that he could realize these drawings within just a few years. He had a good understanding of the performance of these five fighters, and also had a certain understanding of their production capacity and cost. Qin Lin began to think about the development of the Air Force.

"Fighter No. 001 will be named Suzaku Type Fighter," Qin Lin said. "As for the carrier-based aircraft, it will be named White Shark Carrier-based Bomber, the fighter-bomber will be named Qin Type Bomber, the battle bomber will be named Chuan Type Battle Bomber, and the strategic bomber will be named Xuanwu Strategic Bomber."

"2000 Suzaku-type 600 fighters will be produced first, followed by 600 Qin-type 64 fighter-bombers, 3264 Chuan-type battle bombers, and Xuanwu strategic bombers, for a total of fighters."

"if it is like this."

Deputy Minister of Scientific Research Mao Tai said, "The cost of these fighters alone is more than 7 million yuan. Add in the other miscellaneous items, and we can't build them without 8 million yuan!"

"8 billion!"

Hearing this number, the pressure on Qin Lin's shoulders increased dramatically, because the army construction and local construction took away 3 million yuan of funds from him, and now he only has 3 million yuan of working funds in his hands. Even if he was killed, he could not take out the 8 million yuan!

"I'll give you 2 million first, and I'll find a way to get the next 6 million." Qin Lin said, "No matter what, you have to produce these fighters as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Marshal!"

After checking the basic situation of the fighter plane, Qin Lin started to go to the Ministry of State Security. The only way he could think of to use the 8 million yuan in a short period of time was to fight the local tyrants and divide the land. Now that he had taken over more than a dozen provinces, the local gentry were extremely wealthy, so naturally he had to take action against them!
