Chapter 11 Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory
Regarding the feelings of the chief engineer Ye Zaifu and Director Ma Deji,
Navy Commander Yang Shuzhuang Commander didn't care at all and ignored it.
At this moment, he was very excited and excited.
Is the Navy short of money to build warships?
Very lacking,
During this period, in order to complete the construction of his naval fleet, he raised money everywhere and asked people from all walks of life to donate. He was already worried that he could not eat or drink well, and even his sleep time became worse and worse.
There are more and more days of insomnia.
Now I suddenly received a person willing to donate a water mothership and a minesweeper to their Navy Department without any conditions.
That's simply a sound of nature!
"Prepare the car for me right away, I'm going to the Zhou family!"
"I also need to find someone who knows the road to drive a car!"
"Although I know Mr. Zhou Jixian's name and status, I really don't know where his fourth brother's home is!"
After being excited, Commander Yang immediately called his adjutant Wu Dahua into the office and gave him the latest instructions.
"Yes! Commander!"
"But just now, the new ship supervisor called and said that the personnel selling weapons and equipment sent by the Japanese Navy and military-industrial enterprises were about to arrive at our place, so he thought you would also go over and meet and negotiate with these Japanese personnel!"
"Because the weapons and equipment sold this time are relatively large, he is worried that his power will be limited, and the final approver still needs the commander to sign and seal it before it can take effect!"
Regarding Commander Yang's order,
Adjutant Wu Dahua nodded without hesitation and agreed.
But then, he added report.
"Let him find the commanders of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet to accompany him, and negotiate price negotiations with the personnel of the Japanese Navy military-industrial enterprises. As for the quality, it must be determined by the chief engineer Ye Zaifu and Director Ma Deji!"
"Afterwards, I read the report to decide the amount of purchase!"
"Now I have something more important to deal with!"
"It's not the first time they have traded with the Japanese army!"
After hearing this, Commander Yang waved his hand without any concern and responded.
"Yes! I understand! I will prepare the car for you immediately and convey your instructions to the new ship supervisor!"
Adjutant Wu Dahua immediately agreed.
Then, he quickly followed the instructions.
Soon, under the escort of a naval guard, a team of cars drove towards Zhou Wenhua's home.
At this time, Zhou Wenhua,
But he was under his father's connections.
Under the escort of his own bodyguard team, he arrived at the Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory.
In 1927, Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory was officially established under the instruction of the Aviation Office.
Because from 1927 to 1931, Songhu has become the largest port in the Far East and the main port for importing aircraft equipment.
It is also because of this that Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory came into being, but at the beginning, its name was named Songhu Aircraft Repair Factory.
In the early days of its establishment, Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory not only had simple equipment, but also had very little plant area. The entire factory only built a machine room and an engine workshop, and only a small factory building, and the investment cost was less than 20,000 yuan.
In December 1928, after the establishment of the Aviation Agency of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the National Army, the Songhu Aircraft Repair Factory was officially taken over and renamed it to Songhu Aircraft Factory.
In February 1929, with the wholesale funds of the Aviation Administration, they began to imitate the French Gaudron-style biplane trainer aircraft. After the imitation model was completed, it was named "Success" No. 1, which was also the earliest domestic aircraft in the Republic of China period.
After the successful development of the No. 1 test flight, Songhu Airlines Factory once again obtained a certain amount of capital turnover for expansion, and made one-time improvements and expansions of important sites such as aviation factories, warehouses, tarmacs, and staff dormitories.
After the successful expansion, Songhu Aircraft Factory imitated the British Afro trainer aircraft, and finally achieved certain results and successfully tested the flight.
However, all the foreign coaching aircraft imitated by the Songhu Aircraft Factory are just elimination products that foreign countries want to eliminate, rather than the latest aviation technology products of foreign countries.
It is also because of this that the aircraft and trainer aircraft imitated by the Songhu Aircraft Factory are not only not the Air Force Army of the Aviation Administration, but also the Air Force Aviation School, and no one even wants other sales channels.
But the worse situation is that the Nanjing capital did not continue to provide funds to maintain and replenish the normal operation of this aviation factory.
This is the rhythm of preparing to abandon this aviation factory.
And next year in 1932, during the outbreak of the first "Shanghu War", this airline factory was also blown up by a Japanese fleet in the war and disappeared.
Zhou Wenhua's purpose of coming here is to hope to invest in it, and hope that the personnel here can develop and produce famous aircraft from the anti-Japanese era such as Hawk-iii fighter, Hawk-75 fighter, Rhine trainer, CW21 fighter, P-40 fighter, coastal patrol aircraft, and Sikorsky amphibious aircraft.
Just like the later Central Hangzhou Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, it has increasingly advanced and self-employed aircraft capabilities, including the ability to replicate.
However, domestic aircraft factories during the Republic of China were basically just as assembly plants, and most parts had to be imported.
I do not have my own self-developed aircraft materials and parts.
The development of the domestic aviation industry is very weak.
When Zhou Wenhua arrived at the Songhu Hongqiao Aviation Factory under the escort of his bodyguard car team, Fan Zhifei, the new director here, also came out to greet him with a bright smile with a group of technical backbones.
Because before Zhou Wenhua came, he had already stated that he wanted to invest in the factory or donate some money to maintain normal operation and the daily life of the technical workers in the factory.
And it is also planning to give a batch of orders to the factory.
So I learned that such a God of Wealth appeared,
As the new director of Songhu Hongqiao's new aviation factory, Fan Zhifei, of course, agreed to meet Zhou Wenhua without hesitation.
After agreeing, he also personally inquired about Zhou Wenhua's background.
After learning that it was Zhou Jixian's family members, and Zhou Wenhua's father's business network was huge and his family property was huge.
He was in a good mood and wanted to be fine.
Organize the appearance of yourself and all the technicians and workers in your factory, including the hygiene of the factory.
