Chapter 27 Military Affairs and Revenue

  Sun Zhendong returned to Huai'an and was assigned by Jiang Yu as an instructor at the Huai'an Military Academy, where he had been trained since childhood.

  His task was to wave flags and shout slogans, instilling loyalty to the principal in the military school students.

  Sun Zhendong is already familiar with these aspects, and there are many reasons to be loyal to the principal, for example, the principal represents the hope of national rejuvenation, only the principal can lead us on the road to xxx...

  These words often leave people speechless.

  Because Jiang Yu has indeed done many things that others can't accomplish in a lifetime, and he is usually upright in his conduct, it's almost impossible to find any fault with him.

  Under Sun Zhendong's banner and shouting, a large number of instructors have been trained, and the instructors are also an important part of the combat effectiveness of Fuxing Army.

  Because instructors can maintain military discipline and instill ideology in the army.

  Huai'an Military Academy also has a teaching battalion for training instructors.

  The reserve of military talents began to move towards a high-efficiency track after the establishment of Huaian Military Academy, and the scale of rapid training classes will continue to expand.

  Jiang Yu established the Army Academy and Air Force Academy in Huaian Military School. Of course, this Air Force Academy is a bit confusing, but for the high-level revival military, they already knew about the existence of those bombers.

  The air force became an independent branch of the Revival Army and would later be recorded in history.

  Air force combat in this era is almost a blank, but Jiang Yu filled the gap and gave a very mature air force combat concept and key points of air force tactics.

  This year's air force is relatively simple and there's no problem with that, after all, there are no competitors!

  The Military Academy added an armored department specifically for training armored division commanders.

  However, the Armored Corps and Air Force Academy are relatively confidential, all of which are taught by Jiang Yu personally, and the course content is not allowed to be disclosed to outsiders by students.

  Chariots and airplanes will be Jiang Yu's killer move.

  At this time, the Revival Army also entered a post-war adjustment state, with its formation formally determined as three divisions, one Category A division and two Category B divisions.

  There were also three agricultural production divisions.

  Although these production brigades are not part of the regular army's organization, they also have sufficient training. In addition to the militia trained by the Fuxing Army in local areas and the establishment of the Huai'an Military Academy's accelerated class, as soon as the war breaks out, the Fuxing Army can quickly form more than ten divisions.

  Soon after, Jiang Yu established a flight school in Huai'an and began to cultivate pilots on a large scale. The first batch of students recruited more than 1,000 people.

  Those students who were eliminated from applying for military schools and scholars have other places to go.

  At that time, under the jurisdiction of the Administrative Office of the Two Huai, all cultural people basically had something to do, such as normal schools which needed a large number of cultural people.

  Of course, education is related to national development. Jiang Youwei personally founded a normal school and often taught at the normal school. His lectures were mainly based on principles.

  How to teach students, what kind of students to teach, what is the purpose of education and so on.

  The air force was also secretly established under the leadership of Jiang Yu, and the first batch of prototype aircraft had been manufactured. In the end, in terms of short-range tactical bombers, Jiang Yu chose a single-wing twin-engine bomber with a range of 200 kilometers that could carry 800 kilograms of bombs, named "Huoniao-1 Tactical Bomber".

  In the medium bomber, a single-wing four-engine bomber with a range of 1200 kilometers and a payload of 600 kilograms was adopted, named 'Chang Gong 1 Medium Bomber'.

  The dive bomber also made a major breakthrough, with performance far exceeding the requirements of Jiang Yu. A torpedo bomber with a range of 260 kilometers and a payload of 500 kilograms was designed, named "Seagull 1". At the same time, there is also a medium-range dive bomber with a range of 1000 kilometers and a payload of 900 kilograms, also with four engines, named "Fish Eagle 1".

  Although the performance is quite different, it's actually because there are more engines installed and the plane is made bigger.

  The production lines of these aircraft have already begun to be built, especially those tactical bombers which were exportable to Britain and France during the First World War.

  Of course, at the same time, fighter planes can also be sold to the Germans, so that even if Britain and France have bombers, they will still suffer heavy losses, which can prolong the war.

  As for other more advanced aircraft, such as torpedo planes and so on, only the Seagull 1 type production line was built because this is what the coastal defense needs.

  And other aircraft production lines did not adopt the assembly line model, because these aircraft may be eliminated in the future, and the entire production line may become obsolete.

  The army secretly established an armored division with 300 tanks.

  This is an experimental unit. According to the armored regiment's reaction, the 'Ripper' tanks they are equipped with perform fairly reliably and do not have any particularly obvious flaws.

  In this situation, Jiang Yu ordered the war chariot factory to rebuild three hundred more Chariots of Ripping.

  Of course, military expansion cannot be separated from financial support.

  At this time, Jiangyu was still relatively affluent in terms of finance. Since the establishment of the East China Chamber of Commerce, the East China Group has been continuously strengthening its monopoly.

  From light industry to heavy industry, the monopolistic figure of Huadong Group can be seen everywhere.

  At that time, the East China Group in the chemical industry could generate nearly 10 million yuan in profit per month, including caustic soda, dyes, fertilizers, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and other products.

  In terms of civilian goods, Huadong Group's cigarettes, matches, small hardware, cotton cloth, paper, stationery and food processing have occupied a large market share. In the administrative region under the jurisdiction of Lianghuai Administrative Office, these commodities are basically in a monopoly position, and foreign goods can no longer compete.

  In these civilian products, nearly 15 million yuan in profit can be provided every month.

  In the industries of electricity, tap water, telegraphy, postal services, department stores, hotels, pawnshops and grain shops, nearly 8 million yuan in profit can be generated every month, but these profits are all invested in expansion.

  The development of Huadong Bank is also very rapid, and the deposit scale has now broken through 800 million yuan. Of course, most of the funds are flowing out from the Huadong Group, and then workers, soldiers, and peasants deposit their money in the bank. The bank's deposits are expanding rapidly, and every month Huadong Bank can generate nearly 50 million yuan in profit.

  In heavy industry, there were gratifying results. In steel production, Wuhu Iron and Steel Factory quickly became profitable after the war subsided.

  The steel production cost of Wuhu Steel Plant is relatively low, so the profit is naturally considerable.

  Yangtze Steel can no longer compete with Wuhu Iron and Steel through price advantages, as long as Wuhu Iron and Steel Factory produces steel, it will not worry about selling out.

  At current market prices, Wuhu Steel Plant can make a profit of at least 150 million yuan per year. If it were to be profitable after World War I, the profit would be even higher.

  In the building materials industry, a profit of over 20 million yuan can be made every month because construction sites are everywhere now.

  Yu Kos organized three billion funds to arrive in China in mid-March, and also invested in a shipyard in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, which is not inferior to the previous shipyards built by Jiang Yu.

  Jiang Yu got another 100 million silver dollars in his hands, which was advocated by German Emperor Wilhelm II to lend to Jiang Yu from the German state-owned Revival Bank, but this is only the first batch, and there are still 400 million funds that have not been received.

  Jiang Yu built many laboratories after getting the money.

  He deeply understands that in order to occupy a commanding height in history, one must have sufficiently advanced technology; otherwise everything is just empty talk.

  The chief engineer in charge of agricultural machinery research was a German named Perlin, who came to report the situation to Jiang Yu with great enthusiasm.

  "Jiang, we did it!" Perlin exclaimed excitedly to Jiang Yu.

  Pit, those B tickets were brushed so fiercely, and the chrysanthemum was directly blasted.
