In the mid-1920s, the Soviet army's country was still in a country dominated by agriculture, and most of the people in the country were almost all farmers.

The situation is similar to that of the citizens on China.

Engineers, technicians from various industries, as well as scientists, chemists, physicists, although there are also, but the number is not very large, accounting for only a small part of the country.

It is incomparable to comparable industrial developments in Western Europe and the United States.

Especially in all relevant infrastructure in aircraft manufacturing, such as non-non-ferrous metals, vaporizers, electronic equipment, ball bearings, etc.,

Even the raw materials for manufacturing aircraft, such as rubber, aluminum and copper, need to be imported from abroad.

Therefore, the Soviet army's flying industry can be said to have started from scratch.

The time when we started our family was from the October Revolution to the War, in just over twenty years.

The Soviet aviation army also went from having nothing to being formed into the world's largest flight force, and even had some excellent fighter jets, haha ​​bombers.

However, during this period of development, there were also many problems in the development of the Soviet aviation army and needed to be solved.

For example, in order to speed up the establishment of the aviation army, they used cheap aircraft manufacturing technology and raw materials that had not been refined to develop and produce aircraft.

Moreover, when the Soviet flight industry was in its infancy, it was also very short of various related technologies for developing aircraft, scientific research talents, aircraft technology equipment, and industrial systems.

For example, the design and manufacturing of aircraft engines, radio manufacturing, electronic equipment manufacturing, and even precision mold manufacturing are problems.

Finally, even the most important raw materials for aircraft manufacturing such as aluminum and magnesium were in short supply. So in order to solve this problem, they used plywood, wood, and crude steel to replace the most important raw materials for aircraft such as aluminum and magnesium to make crude domestically built aircraft.

The consequence of doing this is to increase the weight of the fuselage particularly. So in order to solve this problem, the Soviet aircraft factory has adopted the selection of aircraft engines with stronger horsepower to assemble the aircraft.

However, for the Soviet army, which had a simple process and low technical content, the method of manufacturing aircraft also greatly reduced their manpower, material resources and financial resources.

At least in terms of electricity, raw materials, manpower, it is completely reduced by many times compared to German troops, Western Europe, and the Midlands.

And it can also be produced in large quantities and manufactured.

The most important point is that the Soviet army was able to use such simple technology to manufacture aircraft. In the late stage of the war, it was able to develop and produce a series of relatively excellent aircraft, such as the Jacques 38 fighter, the Jacques-9 fighter, the Ras 7 fighter, and the Defend Eagle Il 2 fighter.

Among these fighter jets, Zhou Wenhua is familiar with them, especially the wooden "Soviet Warhawk" Jacques-9 fighter jet, which almost completely suppressed the Luftwaffe and became the largest production Soviet fighter jet of that period.

However, Soviet fighters are known for medium and low-altitude combat in air combat. For high-altitude combat, they do not have this ability. They are their shortcomings in wood making.

As for the training of Soviet pilots, before the mid-1930s, they were carried out in the flight club.

The funding sources of these flight clubs are mainly from the fundraising of major flight members, and the Flight School of the Defense Aviation Support Society of the Soviet Army semi-official organization,

The training time of these early Soviet pilots was basically in their spare time after work, rather than full-time time like organized training during the war.

So before Zhou Wenhua arrived at the gate of Songhu Airlines Factory, he was thinking in his mind how to learn the simple aircraft manufacturing processes and techniques of the Soviet army and start from scratch.

While Zhou Wenhua was thinking about these things, his car team arrived unknowingly outside the gate of Songhu Airlines Factory, and had already met the new director Fan Zhifei, who was smiling brightly. He warmly welcomed his arrival with a large number of technical backbones and management.

Seeing this, Zhou Wenhua also restrained his thoughts, showed a gentle smile, got out of the car, shook hands with the new factory director Fan Zhifei, and greeted each other.

Fan Zhifei, the new director of Zhou Wenhua, was also surprised when he met, and was worried that he had made a mistake. However, after saying hello to Zhou Wenhua,

He also made sure that the other party was Zhou Wenhua, the latest talker of the Zhou family who was coming to discuss business with him today.

In this regard, the new factory director Fan Zhifei also had to sigh that being rich is good. If you can have so much money at such a young age, you can also have family business power.

But no matter what,

After being surprised, the new factory director Fan Zhifei still welcomed Zhou Wenhua warmly and hospitably, and also brought the backbone technicians under his command who were also surprised to look at him, and went to the reception room with the management to entertain Zhou Wenhua.

Zhou Wenhua was also open-minded and followed them into the guesthouse. As for the bodyguards behind him, they also followed behind.

However, they did not enter the guesthouse, but protected Zhou Wenhua's safety outside the gate of the guesthouse.

In the reception room,

After Zhou Wenhua and the new director Fan Zhifei briefly talked about the topic outside the topic for a while,

He also made it straight to the point and handed the design drawings of the Soviet-made aircraft he had prepared to come here to manufacture to the new factory director Fan Zhifei.

"This is the Soviet-style aircraft I want to copy and assemble for you in your aircraft factory!"

"The bomber Teb-1 (Ante-4), the first heavy bomber developed and produced by the Soviet army in 1925, is equipped with two m-17 engines with a power of 500 horsepower. It is a counterfeit German BMW-6 type, liquid-cooled type, adopts takeoff boosters, and has 4 machine gun configurations..."

"There is another I-5 fighter, the latest fighter that the Soviet army left the factory in 1930!"

"Configured 2 m-22 engines, with a power of 480 horsepower, imitating the British bristol     The company's jupiter "Quipet" type, 9-cylinder air-cooled type, and 2 machine guns..."

"I will temporarily imitate these two Soviet aircraft and produce one for me. As for the raw materials, they can be imported for assembly, and during the imitation and assembly process, they can study and learn other people's aircraft technology!"

"As for me, I will come to personally supervise your assembly and copying process and work!"

"As for the money needed for imitation, I can pay in advance. Even if you can have a way out, you can buy me the original bomber Tebo-1 and Yi-5 fighter jets directly, and then disassemble them for research, and copy them for me another imitation!"

"I will pay all the funds!"

When the new factory director Fan Zhifei took the aircraft design drawings handed to him by Zhou Wenhua, Zhou Wenhua also made a straightforward move again.

In his previous life, he was a high-tech entrepreneur and spent many years studying aircraft manufacturing techniques and processes during the Soviet-German War, so he was able to draw design drawings.

However, since the domestic aircraft manufacturing technology and industrial capabilities are basically zero, basically the raw materials for aircraft manufacturing need to be purchased and imported for assembly.

It is also because of this that Zhou Wenhua directly asked them to purchase and import the raw materials for the Soviet-style aircraft he wanted to imitate them.

It can even be asked to find a way to use their own channels to purchase the original version of the Su-style aircraft, and then dismantle it for research and imitation.

Regarding Zhou Wenhua's words and deeds, the new factory director Fan Zhifei immediately opened his eyes and was shocked after reading the design drawings of the Su-style aircraft he gave.

This is a confidential design drawing. He doesn't understand where the young Zhou Wenhua came from.

At least it has only been more than a year since the Yi-5 fighter was developed, but now Zhou Wenhua has complete and detailed design drawings, and even shows what type of raw materials to use to make it.

So you can imagine how exciting the shocked expression of the new director Fan Zhifei was.

Because of these confidential aircraft design drawings and manufacturing processes, he was unable to obtain them.
