Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 344: The “Eye of the Sky” of the Chinese

The world's first radar was successfully developed, and the Huangyadong base area was immersed in an atmosphere of jubilation.

Tang Qiuli was keenly aware that this was a huge business opportunity. Having radar in that country was like giving its own airspace clairvoyance and ears to deal with high-altitude fighters. It no longer had to be passively beaten.

When the bomb was approaching, the enemy plane was discovered.

He must put the radar production factory in the United States. On the one hand, the United States was not attacked in World War II and could have an absolutely stable production environment without any interference.

On the other hand, China at that time could not produce various components for radar. This was a sad decision. Tang Qiuli was extremely willing to wear the honor of the birthplace of the world's first radar on the head of his motherland.

Unfortunately, the environment and conditions do not allow it. In the land of China where artillery fire is raging and war is everywhere, how can we safely place a machine tool?

He could only do this, it was really a helpless move, and in the United States, taking advantage of the United States' transcendent status in the early days of the war, he could sell radars all over the world. With the exception of the Japanese pirates and the villainous country of Japan, anyone could become his customer.

, the profits here cannot be overstated to describe them as amazing.

Inspired by the success of the development of the first radar, Wang Xu and his engineers decided to work hard immediately and produce several thousand units at first. They thought so and did so. The standardized production workshop was quickly transformed and

A large number of skilled workers with technical background were mobilized from the logistics department and a group of technical backbones were trained.

Then, they were embarrassed to find that there was no inventory of electronic components, tubes, transistors, etc. needed for radar manufacturing in the Huangyadong Base Logistics Department warehouse. That is to say, when the pot was put on, they found the rice bags empty.

The matter was reported to Tang Qiuli. The solution he proposed was very simple. Buy and import in large quantities from abroad. The imported quantity must be enough to produce radars that can be equipped with all anti-aircraft weapons on the Chinese battlefield, and ensure a large inventory.

Tang Qiuli asked Wang Xu to make a list of what he needed to purchase, and then with a stroke of his pen, he purchased more than double the quantity on the list. Did he know that in one or two years, the price of these things would be more than ten times the current price?

, and many times, if you have money, you can’t buy technology.

The purchase list was transferred to the head of logistics, Zhang Quan, who habitually took a breath of air and clicked his lips. Wang Xu's heart was in his throat. He knew the character of his old man very well and spent a whole day.

It hurts to spend even a cent, not to mention that the current amount is so huge. If Zhang Quan disagrees or refuses to allocate funds according to the original plan, the division commander has no choice. Everyone knows the temper of this "big boss".

The reason why the military master can have such strong financial resources is that Tang Qiuli has a way to make money. Zhang Quan's contribution, in a sense, is greater than that of Tang Qiuli. It is precisely because of this that he won the title of **

The respect and admiration of all officers and soldiers of the division.

The amount of the appropriation is indeed very huge. Tang Qiuli has far-reaching considerations in this. To build a factory in the United States, these components must be purchased in advance. In a full-scale war, they are hard-to-find treasures. The factories in the United States are not yet profitable.

It also relies on the constant blood transfusions of doctors. Once the profits are made, the figures will be astronomical.

Zhang Quan finished clicking his lips and looked up at Wang Xu. Wang Xu was very worried and asked: "Is that all? Is it possible? Do you want to add more?"

Oops, the sun is shining in the west. This is the first time that the words "additional budget" have come out of the mouth of "Zhang the Tiger". Could it be that the world has changed? Wang Xu almost doubted his own ears.

In fact, Zhang Quan also wanted to understand many issues. He discovered an interesting rule. As long as the teacher spends a large amount of money, he is guaranteed to earn back several times. Now the teacher's family fortune is in Zhang Quan's heart.

Well, not to mention spending this little money, it would be enough to buy the entire city of Peking, and it would all be in hard currency, silver dollars and gold.

Zhang Quan immediately arranged to remit money to the United States. All this was handled by Zhu Zixuan, who had been in the United States and took care of Tang Qiuli's overseas business.

Tang Qiuli sent another telegram, informing Zhu Zixuan in detail about the plan to build a factory in the United States, and asked him to make preparations as soon as possible. He would send a special person to the United States in the near future. The detailed information would arrive soon, and he entrusted Zhu Zixuan with the task.

Apply for patent protection for radar in the United States and European countries.

Wang Xu compiled the technical information on the development and production of radars in detail, which was over a hundred pages long. Tang Qiuli asked ten soldiers of the special guard who had followed him to Germany and Finland to be responsible for sending the technical information to the United States.

important responsibility.

Tang Qiuli didn't want to follow the European name for radar. He gave the radar an authentic Chinese name called "Sky Eye Monitoring System". The future trademark will be called Sky Eye. This is completely a Chinese invention. It is destined to be

It will change the pattern of world air combat and become the pride of the Chinese people.

When he handed over the tasks to the ten soldiers of the special guard who were responsible for delivering materials to the United States, he solemnly told them that these things are more important than your lives. Once on the way to the United States, you find that you cannot guarantee that the materials will be delivered safely,

Or there are other factors that may cause the data to be lost. You must destroy these data and use your lives and military honor as a guarantee to complete the mission.

Tang Qiuli had to be more careful. He was mainly on guard against Japanese people who were like crazy dogs. The Japanese were interested in everything about Tang Qiuli and the Japanese army. There was no guarantee that this trip to the United States would not be leaked.

Using the only "Sky Eye" with a rough appearance, the air defense force began a new type of training.

There were no target drones, so the soldiers took matters into their own hands and made a large number of kites. There were even more ingenious soldiers who made the kites just like real airplanes, lifelike. Every day they pulled the kites up and down, up and down, trying to imitate the movements of the airplanes.

The soldiers quickly became familiar with the basic operation essentials of the Sky Eye using local methods in flying movements.

Tang Qiuli also mobilized a large amount of construction materials from Pingjin and focused on building radar stations in two places.

With Dingbian City as the center, the requirement for building a radar station within a radius of 100 kilometers is that there are no radar blind spots and dead corners to ensure that Japanese aircraft are discovered 500 kilometers away. The air defense corps on the given border,

Adequate preparation time.

Dingbian is his treasure. There are not only troops there, but more civilians, and a large number of newly built industrial and mining enterprises. He does not want Japanese planes to bombard Dingbian indiscriminately.

Into ruins and hell on earth.

Therefore, Dingbian is a key air defense area. The Dingbian Garrison Command Air Defense Corps is at the brigade level and has eight air defense detachments under its jurisdiction. It protects the sky in Dingbian like an iron barrel.

There is also the Huangya Cave in the center of the Taihang Mountain base area. This is another key target that needs to be protected. Once the Sino-Japanese War begins, Huangya Cave will be within the optimal range of the Japanese garrison's aviation force in North China. The little Japanese's plane will

I can't stop coming here often. The Japanese army couldn't win on the ground and had to win it back in the sky. The air battles here were more intense and frequent than other places.

Fortunately, Huangyadong itself is a pure military camp, with no civilians, and they are all hidden in the cave. The Japs' planes cannot take much advantage. If arranged well, they can exhaust the Japanese air power in North China.

With Huangyadong as the center, within a radius of 50 kilometers, underground hidden radar stations and vehicle-mounted mobile radars are combined to flexibly and mobilely monitor threats from the air. This place cannot be compared with fixed borders. It is located in an area with frequent battles with the Japanese army. It is blatantly established.

Wouldn't a fixed radar station provide a living target for the Japanese army?

The incident in Huangyadong came to an end, and Tang Qiuli returned to Peiping. There were still a lot of government and military affairs waiting for him to deal with. Didn't he still serve as the chairman of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee?

After the reorganization and expansion of the ** division troops in Huangyadong, Tang Qiuli is now said to be strong, with strong soldiers and horses.

There are a total of eight infantry brigades, four artillery brigades (soon, three artillery brigades were reorganized according to actual needs), five cavalry brigades, a special operations detachment, a Huangyadong security brigade, and a new recruit supplementary brigade.

, the total strength reached more than 146,000.

If the troops of the 29th Army are included, there are seven cavalry brigades with more than 170,000 people. With Tang Qiuli's current strength, he is very sure that at the beginning of the war with the Japanese, he can defeat North China's

The main force of the Japanese army was completely annihilated on the Great Plains of North China, completely curbing the Japanese invaders' invasion of the whole of China in North China and preventing them from moving even half a step south.

After returning to Peiping, Tang Qiuli spent a few days to deal with the government affairs accumulated during this period, and finally had time to talk about the current situation with Shen Jun, the director of the Investigation Division of the ** Division, who had been staying in Peiping.

The situation in Pingjin.

Shen Jun has looked for him many times, but has never had time. Shen Jun, who is sitting opposite Tang Qiuli, is much thinner than when he left Peiping for Xi'an, and his face is full of exhaustion. After Tang Qiuli left, people in Pingjin and Tianjin

All affairs were placed on his shoulders alone, so you can imagine the pressure in his heart.

Fortunately, the 29th Army was stationed in the Pingjin area. The Japanese garrison in North China was relatively honest during this period and did not make any small moves. Especially after the 29th Army was supplemented by Tang Qiuli, its equipment level was greatly improved, and its heavy firepower was greatly improved.

Strengthening, invisibly, formed a deterrent to the Japanese army.

Without the Japanese causing trouble, Shen Jun could devote all his energy to the security and intelligence work in Pingjin and Tianjin, and established an intelligence network covering the Pingjin and Tianjin areas. This was a system that was in parallel with the intelligence of the ** division.

Another intelligence system, Tang Qiuli's purpose is to provide multiple channels for obtaining intelligence and to verify the authenticity and value of the intelligence.

After Mei Ting returned to Peiping, she insisted on resigning from her position as director of the Inspection Division of the Ping-Tianjin Security Command. Tang Qiuli felt sorry for this girl's talent in investigation and intelligence work, and tried to persuade her many times.

Helpless, this girl Mei Ting was determined not to do it. Ever since her relationship with Tang Qiuli was officially established, this girl showed great disgust towards her previous job, and said that if Tang Qiuli forced her, she would still do it.

When she became the director of the inspection department, she returned to Nanjing and complained to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
