Chen Shao stayed in the shipyard for five days and finally brought Feng Rupan. He also came with Feng Ru. His two students, Qian Pengfei and Xu Jinghai. The three of them drove a plane and slowly stopped at the airport of the newly built Air Force Command Center. These three planes were brought by Feng Ru when he returned to China and were also built by himself.

Originally, Feng Ru was full of passion and brought his students back to China to participate in the revolution with his plane, but the domestic industrial level was too poor. He couldn't even make a propeller, let alone an engine. Moreover, the domestic warlords were fighting, and no one took out money to build the aircraft industry. In the past few months, although he had participated in the warlord war, the plane dropped not bombs, but leaflets, and was neglected for several consecutive months. Feng Ru was almost discouraged, just at this time

, a man came to him and brought him a bill of exchange of 50,000 US dollars, saying that he was setting up an aircraft research institute and a picture of a factory. At first, the man said that it was founded by a patriot in China, and he was still half-believing and half-doubted, and he could not ask two students to go to the photo place with that person for investigation. A few days later, he heard that these two outstanding students praised the place, Feng Ru completely agreed and decided to take his three best planes with him.

They defected to him together, but they still left several planes in Guangzhou. After a few pilots who were trained urgently after returning to China, they took two students to Guangxi according to the map given by the person. The man said there was an airport for him to land. Originally, he thought that even if there was an airport, it was just a small straight line, but he could see the two long and huge runways from a distance, with rows of tarmacs and a towering building, and there were indicator lights on the building.

There are several large factories next to the airport, but he can't tell which factories these are. Not far away is a large shipyard and a dock under construction. It can be seen that the shipyard is building ships, and there are busy figures everywhere. Feng Ru did not expect that he could see such a large shipyard in China. In a trance, he thought he had returned to the United States. He couldn't help but hover over the sky for a few times and control the plane to dock at the airport smoothly.

Chen Shao looked at the father of aviation in front of him, held his hand with excitement and said, "Mr. Feng is very righteous, Chen Shao admires it."

"Captain Chen, what you did makes Feng admire even more. Let me introduce you to you. These are two of my students, one named Qian Pengfei and the other named Xu Jinghai, both of whom are my proud disciples. Although they are just getting started in the design of the plane, their flight technology is definitely the best." Feng was also very excited at this time. He introduced his two proud disciples to Chen Shao.

"Chen Shao welcomes the arrival of the three of you. Should you take a break or visit directly?" For Feng Ru, he couldn't wait to take a good look around.

Chen Shao took them to visit all the factories around Fangchenggang. Feng Ru kept asking Chen Shao along the way, the more he knew, the more he admired the young regiment commander in front of him. In this era, being able to see the world clearly is not just fighting for power like other warlords in China, but developing China's future industry, and spending a lot of money to build heavy industries, and achieving the ability to produce cars and build warships. How much does it cost to just do this? If all this money is used to arm the army, then there is a saying in Chinese politics today. But this young man did not do this, but took it step by step, which made Feng Ru a little puzzled. Wouldn't it be better to build an industry first and then build an industry?

When it was lunch time, Feng Ru couldn't help asking at the dinner table.

"Captain Chen, Feng doesn't understand something, so I hope to answer it."

"Mr. Feng, please tell me, Chen Shao will definitely speak out."

"I think Chief Chen has a big family business, so why don't he raise an army and directly participate in domestic politics and have at least more say. Isn't this a better foundation for Chief Chen's career development?"

"Haha, let me ask Mr. Feng, what should you do when facing a rotten building?"

"Turn down and rebuild."

"The first step to building a brand new building."

"Lay the foundation"

"Now, China is like a decayed building, with a group of people fighting around. Even if I join in, what I get is just a decayed building, and I will inevitably have to do so. So I gave up fighting for the building, and instead built a brand new building next to the building to replace the decayed building. The industrial foundation I built is the foundation laid by the new building, and it is also the hope for the future of my Chinese nation." Chen Shao said with a confident look on his face.

Hearing Chen Shao's remarks made the few people present fall into long-term contemplation. When everyone almost came to their senses, Chen Shao continued: "The reason I invited Mr. Feng was for China's future. A strong China must have a strong air force. Now my army has achieved great results and the navy has started. Now there is only one air force to defend China's future airspace. So Mr. Feng, I hope you can lead China's future air force to glory, and I will support you. I will give you whatever you want. If you say there are not enough airports, I will build it immediately. If there are not enough manufacturing plants, I will build it immediately. And a few days ago, I was recruiting the first batch of air force flight cadets. We will not only establish the army aviation, but also the naval aviation. I hope that Mr. Feng's two students will train new pilots together with our air force instructors."

"We will do our best to not disappoint Captain Chen." Feng Ru and the two students thought about the big cakes that Chen Shao drew for them, and answered in unison.

The next day, the first batch of 300-person air force pilots and air force instructors arrived at Fangchenggang on time. Chen Shao built a new barracks for them at the airport and began training of theory and practice. Theoretical knowledge was learned in the barracks. The practice was to convert three aircrafts brought by Feng Ru into two-seat trainers at the airport. Chen Shao arranged Feng Ru at the air force command center at the airport to specialize in developing new aircraft. The tank factory next to him was also using the three aircraft as a prototype to urgently produce a batch of new trainers.

Seeing the entire Fangchenggang developing in an orderly manner and the scale is getting bigger and bigger, I thought that this place should start to arrange defensive forces. Although the location is remote, I had to be careful. I simply transferred two battalions to the reserve regiment recruited this time and started training in the Marine Corps mode. While thinking, I took Wang Jie and Wang Xiaoshan back to Qinghe Village.

December 9, 1914

Several news appeared in newspapers across the country.

gx The 18th Infantry Regiment under the Provincial Governor's Office recruited patriots from all over the country to join the army, and the army sounded...

Longteng Group of gx Province recruits various skilled workers and pays...

Shipping companies under Longteng Group in gx Province recruit experienced seafarers from all over the country...

Huashi Town in gx Province recruits a group of teachers from all over the country, hoping that knowledgeable people from all over the country will come to apply for the job, contributing to China's education...

…………

These news attracted the attention of all parties, and many recruitment sites have been set up in major cities across the country that are suitable for matters. The recruitment sites are crowded every day, making the spies so busy that they can't breathe.

In a teahouse in Shanghai.

"Have you heard that there is someone recruiting workers on the street next door. The salary is at least two oceans a month. Let's go and have a look!"

"Really fake,"

"Didn't you see newspapers all in it? And I just saw a lot of people gathering there, inside and outside, and I heard that not everyone wants it. It's best to be able to read. If you read, you will definitely be charged."

"Yes, a neighbor of mine has been admitted. He turned out to be a worker in a foreign company in the United States. He heard that as long as he goes to GX Province, he will give him 5 yuan a month to work and also provide travel expenses. And I heard that someone has a train and goes directly to Guangzhou. There are trucks to pick him up and take him off. My neighbor is already preparing his luggage."

"There is such a good thing, but I'm not doing things for foreigners when I go there. I'm still doing things for foreigners here, and there's not much difference."

"No, I heard that it was not run by foreigners. It seemed like an international student returned to China to run his own factory."

"If it is Chinese, if it is Chinese, then I will go so that I can avoid being furious every day."

"Let's go and ask, let's go"

As he said that, a few people left the teahouse and headed straight to the recruitment site.

At this time, a wave of job searches was set off in major cities across the country.

"What, you teacher, go quickly. I heard that there is a place in GX Province recruiting teachers. You will never regret it if you go."

"You can be an electrician, I think you can definitely get a salary that satisfies you when you go to GX to save."

"Construction worker, I heard that the construction of GX province is now underway, and you will definitely not regret it if you go there."

At the same time, each warlord received a message that the weapons were replaced, and as long as skilled workers, all kinds of talents were needed. One person had a Type 38 rifle and 20 rounds of bullets. If 100 people were able to gather at once, an additional Type 92 heavy machine gun would be given. This was undoubtedly good news for those warlords who only care about fighting. However, this news also made them begin to know that the so-called Longteng Company sold their weapons for half a year, which immediately made all warlords jealous. However, a warning forced them to calm them down. James in the United States sent them a telegram, and they did not dare to act rashly for the foreigners' intervention.

In particular, Li Zongren, the governor of the GX Provincial Governor's Office, originally wanted to put pressure on Chen Shao to make Chen Shao offend, but James relied on his identity as the United States to send him a stern-worded telegram that made him sluggishly throw him into a harassment, and he had to leave it alone.

In general, Chen Shao's action has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that a large number of talents poured into Qinghe Village. The disadvantage is that he entered the eyes of some people who are interested. However, Chen Shao is not afraid of them now. With the protection provided by James in the United States, at least in the past few years, he does not have to worry about someone blatantly causing trouble. However, secret actions will inevitably occur in the future. Fortunately, Jian San has established a complete spy agency in Huashi County. The contest in the dark does not require Chen Shao to worry too much.
