Subtle

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Wu Shaoting issued a nationwide power to establish the Party, which soon caused another storm in the domestic political arena. Many people speculated about the purpose of Guangdong's move. Some people believed that Guangdong was working behind closed doors, and the so-called National Advancement Association was just a group within the Guangdong military government, limited to a province in Guangdong. Some people believed that Wu Shaoting would not be so bored. He had nothing to do and had a small group in the league headquarters, and he also issued a nationwide power to do so. This move must be to seek a place in the central government in the form of a political party.

The Beiyang government and the Progressive Party were both shocked and felt the threat. Yuan Shikai was not a fool. He knew that Wu Shaoting had definitely done a premeditated approach and wanted to use Guangdong's strength to gain the political capital of the central government. He knew very well that Wu Shaoting was not Song Jiaoren, and it would be impossible to deal with a political party.

The Progressive Party hates having competitors at this time. After all, their position in the national government has not been completely solid, and no local governor is willing to support them wholeheartedly. It can be said that the Progressive Party now has no real power inside and no strong support outside. If Wu Shaoting, the National People's Progressive Association, is tough in the attitude, I am afraid that the Progressive Party will be difficult to bear.

However, Wu Shaoting hardly paid much attention to the comments from the outside world. In short, the Tongzhenghui will not make any moves now, and will not cause a storm. The top priority is that he actively promotes the popularity of the Tongzhenghuihui and the influence in the south. Not long after, he brought Xu Chongzhi, the governor of Zhangzhou, and Yang Ximindula, the general of the Guilin left-behind palace, as members.

Unfortunately, Liu Guxiang and Liu Zhenhuan were still hesitant. It was not that they did not believe in Wu Shaoting, but that since Wu Shaoting announced his split from the revolutionary camp, the two have been in an embarrassing situation. Both Liu are old members of the Tongmenghui and are loyal followers of Sun Yat-sen. Sun Yat-sen established the Chinese Revolutionary Party in Japan and invited them. Now Guangdong has established the National People's Progress Association, and there is no choice. In the end, both sides have to not participate.

Wu Shaoting did not force Liu Guxiang and Liu Zhenhuan to do so. What he wanted was members who could use it for himself and at least recognized the political will of the National People's Progress Association, which was of great significance in the early stage.

Before March came, all well-known figures in Guangdong Province hung the brand new badge of the National People's Advance Association. The Brown Lan Mountain Water Flag of the National People's Advance Association was hung on the lobby walls of many county governments. The Brown Lan Mountain Water Flag takes the meaning of China. Hua is Hua Mountain, Xia is Xia Water, so there are brown mountains and blue water.

In order not to let the people have misunderstandings, it is believed that Guangdong attempts to establish a new door, Wu Shaoting allowed the county government to hang the flag of the Communist Party of China, but the five-color flag of the Republic of China should be hanged above the flag of the Communist Party of China to show that the country is above the party.

When the National People's Progressive Association was taking root in Guangzhou, Wu Shaoting's car and aircraft contacted by the United States, Britain and Germany in January were also in progress. The order contract was signed and implemented as early as the end of January, and all deposits were spent from 600,000 US dollars. Now in March, although the planes and cars have not arrived in Guangzhou, they have already arrived in India and Japan respectively. Guangzhou can receive goods in seven or eight days.

Although the transaction between the UK and the US was a step slower because of the long journey, the cooperation with the Germans was settled in early March. Early in the morning of March 6, Andre came to the Governor's Office to discuss the details of the final cooperation with Wu Shaoting. Before that, all German consultants, pilots, training equipment and funds had been agreed, and Wu Shaoting even wired the first US$100,000 fee.

What we will discuss this last time is the location selection and construction of the flight training base.

For the Germans, this is another big deal, because they know that the Chinese know nothing about planes, let alone the construction of airports, which must be fully entrusted to the German advisory group to be responsible.

Wu Shaoting did not care about these ideas of the Germans, after all, China cannot find professional talents in this regard.

After a brief study, Wu Shaoting decided to handle the aviation training base in the form of a military school, named the Gongjinhui Army Aviation School, also known as the Whampoa Military Academy. Because after the establishment of the National Communist Party, the original Revolutionary Guangdong Army Officer School, namely the Whampoa Military Academy, was officially renamed the Gongjinhui Army Officer School. This move aims to further strengthen the momentum of the Whampoa Military Academy, and at the same time gather the schools that cultivate military talents into a system, which facilitates management and can better control talents.

Wu Shaoting had a draft idea for the operation of the Mainland Aviation School. He did not intend to discuss this matter with Cen Chunxuan. After all, Cen Chunxuan was only the general consultant of government affairs, and military affairs still had to be taken care of by himself. In Europe, the training time for aircraft investigations was generally twelve weeks. The planes before World War I were not so complicated, and even a failure occurred and fell from the sky had a high chance of survival. After Wu Shaoting discussed with the German flight consultant, he decided that the Main Aviation School's course was eighteen weeks, and the additional six weeks were intensive training for cultural courses.

The cultural training location is located within the Whampoa Military Academy, becoming a special professional class in the Whampoa Military Academy. The Land Aviation School does not wave to the outside world. Anyone who aspires to become a pilot must take the unified entrance examination of the Whampoa Military Academy, and after entering the school, they will apply to join the Land Aviation Culture Training Class. After completing six weeks of cultural and regular physical training, all subjects are rated as excellent before they can officially enter the Land Aviation School.

Andrei and the German Flight Advisory Group visited Guangzhou for many days, and believed that the Aviation School should be established on the seaside in the eastern suburbs.

Wu Shaoting did not agree to this site selection. He decided not to set up the Aeronautics School in Guangzhou, but to choose Luzhou Town, the very remote and backward Zhanjiang Peninsula. Today, Zhanjiang is close to Qinlian Shangsi and other areas with severe bandits, and is also the place where Guangxi and Guangdong provinces are intersecting, so its development is very slow. The entire Zhanjiang County is not as rich as a town under Guangzhou. The entire Zhanjiang now only relies on a supply port of the French, and several ports for Indian and South-Sea transit ships, because the Zhanjiang Bay was included in the Indochina Federal waters by the French, and the locals were even unable to regain their fisheries.

Andre and the German flight advisory team were very unaware of this decision. Guangzhou is not without a place, so they don’t need a convenient place in front of them, but they just want to run to the wilderness to make a big splash. Isn’t this a mess?

However, Wu Shaoting insisted on doing this, even if the place is remote, it doesn’t matter if it requires more construction costs.

Seeing this, Andre naturally could not force it, so he simply agreed. Anyway, he was not the one who paid for the money and built the school.

After the agreement, the Land Aviation School started construction on March 20, and it is expected that it will take half a year before it can be put into use.

However, the Whampoa Military Academy began to recruit reserve students from mid-March. After completing the cultural course at the Whampoa Military Academy, you can first follow the German flight advisory group to learn theoretical knowledge, and wait until the Mainland Aviation School is completed before entering the school to study in depth.

In mid-March, thirty cars ordered from Ford in the United States arrived in full swing. Wu Shaoting personally went to the dock to inspect the goods. The car was temporarily stuck in the warehouse at Huangpu dock, and waited for Zhang Zhicheng to get the modification plan before using it. Two days later, the engines and planes purchased from the UK also arrived at Guangzhou Port.

The plane was not transported in a whole flight. In order to facilitate storage on the freighter, the plane was dismantled into several parts.

The UK did not send technicians to follow, so Wu Shaoting could not assemble the goods during delivery. He secretly recorded this in his heart and decided not to do any business with the British in the future. Fortunately, several retired air force captains from the German flight advisory group knew very well about British aircraft, and they spent several hours assembling the aircraft.

This is a RAF Fe-B2 reconnaissance aircraft, and it is also the most tragic model in the history of the British Air Force. The fe-B2 has become a delicacy on the dining table in front of the German Folk. However, these are all later stories. Nowadays, the heavy-loaded machine guns have not yet been released, and the fight of the aircraft is still limited to the equipment carried by the pilot.

Soon, news of advanced machinery such as aircraft spread like wildfire in Guangzhou, and the lively became one of the current commentary events.

Wu Shaoting also left the plane in the warehouse of Huangpu Wharf and waited until the time was ripe for use. As for the aircraft for internship drills needed after the completion of the Mainland Aviation School, he had sent Deng Keng to continue negotiating with Andre, intending to order a batch of aircraft from Germany, or even directly purchase the technology to manufacture the aircraft.

From the end of the Lantern Festival to mid-March, Wu Shaoting welcomed the busiest period since the beginning of spring.
