Conquer the world starting from the Kaiser's driver

The strike in early September failed, but it was not entirely a bad thing for Lin, who had succeeded in increasing his prestige among the German workers by acting as a peacemaker, avoiding excessive expenses, and now having more marks to do what he wanted.

For example, the establishment of a flying club in Germany and a small investment in aircraft designers such as Junkers.

A flying club was established in Berlin in late August, but a strike forced Lin to put the matter on hold, and it was not until after the strike that he began to prepare the club's personnel again, and he approached Manfred in the hope that he could lend some of his pilots to the flying club as instructors.

What Lin Shangzhou didn't expect was that the "Red Baron" not only agreed to his request, but also directly pulled the entire flight unit to retire, his reason was very simple: "Instead of having nothing to do here, it is better to join your club to train talents for the future Luftwaffe." Lin

Shangzhou is naturally very welcome to this, with the addition of Manfred, there is no need to worry about the instructor problem in the future, not to mention this group of elite pilots, the "Red Baron" alone can make countless flight veterans come to the door spontaneously.

Manfred's company was surprised by the collective retirement of his company, but after being surprised, he agreed to let them go, and at the same time, Lin Shangzhou also used his connections to buy the airport of the flying unit from the military at a low price, which was used as a training ground for the club, and as for the planes in the airport, the military gave them to Lin Shangzhou as a gift.

Now that the club's instructors are available, the airport is available, the planes are available, and all that remains is to recruit members from the extensive propaganda club in Germany.

On September 17, Berlin's "Forward" newspaper published an article about the flying club with an article encouraging people interested in airplanes to sign up, and Lin Shangzhou himself was at the club, and he was going to personally receive the first members of the club.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the club welcomed its first member - Marseilleu.

Lin Shangzhou was not surprised to see this little guy coming, after all, he had promised Marseilleu that he would let him join his flying club, but Lin Shangzhou was very surprised by the person who brought him over, his father Jicofried, the major general of the magic force personally brought his son to the club.

Guicofried was not wearing a military uniform, he walked into the club with his son in civilian clothes, and Manfred and the others were surprised to see him, they did not expect Guicofried to be here.

Surprise to surprise, the Major General of the Magic Force walked in civilian clothes to show what he thought - he came here as a father with his own children, not a general of the Magic Force.

Marseilleu easily became the first member of the club, which made him very happy, and his father Guicofried was also very happy, watching his son celebrate his joining with the former members of the flying unit, Guicofri dragged Lin Shangzhou to the side.

Lin Shangzhou's behavior made Lin Shangzhou quite puzzled, and then after some conversation, he learned that Marseilleu had longed for the sky since he was a child, and when he grew up a little more aware of his father's identity and his heroic deeds in World War I, he was full of interest in the magic force, and often asked him about the magic force.

Although the German military attaches great importance to honor, Gecofried knows the cruelty of the battlefield, as a father, he does not want his children to become a magic force to kill the enemy on the battlefield, so when he asked someone to do a qualification test for Marseilleu, he used his connections to manipulate the inspection report, changing the above "excellent ability" to "unsuitable".

Knowing that there was no way to become a magic force, Marseilleu was very disappointed, facing the lost and sad child, Gicofried felt a little guilty, in order to make his son happy, he recommended the flight unit to Marseilleu and allowed him to go to the flight unit's station to play, and it was this why Lin Shangzhou would meet Marseilleu at the airport.

Gecofried thought that the flying unit would not come in handy in the future, so he was very relieved to let his son go there, and now there is a flying club, although he doesn't know what Lin Shangzhou is doing with such a flying club, but in order to make his son happy, Gecofried specially asked for leave to go home and brought his son here.

After knowing this incident, Lin Shangzhou's heart immediately rose a little envy of Marseilleu and the longing for his uncle, and then he felt guilty in his heart, the fundamental purpose of his establishment of the flying club was to train excellent pilots for Germany, it was just an ordinary club in peacetime, but once it came to wartime, these excellent club members would turn into elite pilots to fly fighters to fight.

In other words, Lin Shangzhou sent them to the battlefield with his own hands.

This kind of guilt has not existed for too long, Lin Shangzhou knows that he will do more and more things that will make him feel guilty in the future, such emotions can be had, but they can't occupy too much.

Jicofried hoped that Lin Shangzhou would try his best to meet the needs of Marseilleu's interests, and Lin Shangzhou also agreed, and he would not let Marseilleu go, a good seedling.

Of course, this kid is too young now, and he will have to wait a few more years for him to fly the plane, at least until he is seventeen or eighteen years old.

In the afternoon, many people came to the club, most of them youth, and some veterans of the flying corps, and each of them joined the club.

After the club was established, Lin Shangzhou left for Dessau, ready to go to Junkers to see how far their research and development work was going.

On the evening of September 20, Lin Shangzhou arrived in Dessau, where Junkers warmly received him, and after staying in Dessau for one night, Lin Shangzhou followed Junkers to the Junkers R&D base on the 21st the next day.

In the hangar of the Junkers R&D base, Lin Shangzhou saw a transport plane parked in the center of the hangar, and from the appearance, it was obvious that this aircraft was not the JU-52, and he estimated that it should be an early model of the JU-52.

Junkers introduced the aircraft to Lin Shangzhou, its model is JU-46, Lin Shangzhou vaguely remembers that this JU-46 seems to be the early model of JU-52, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

However, Lin Shangzhou couldn't look at the performance of the JU-46, so he told Junkers some data of the JU-52 in the OTL, and Lin Shangzhou didn't know much about the JU-52, so he just said a rough idea, to put it simply, he needed a powerful multi-functional transport aircraft.

Junkers wrote down all of Lin's requirements and promised to design them immediately, and after a day in Dessau, Lin set off for the city where the other two aircraft designers were located.

He did not intend for the Junkers family to take over the design of the aircraft, and the Junkers company was chosen only because he needed a large transport aircraft now, and the Junkers company was just the right fit.

In addition to large aircraft, small aircraft are also necessary, and a monopoly is very bad, and competitors must be necessary.

Four days later, he returned to Berlin, and Lin Shangzhou was satisfied with the harvest of this outing, but he was somewhat disappointed at the thought that he would not be able to see the plane he wanted until at least next year.

A few days after returning to Berlin, it was October, and if October was included, there were still three months left before the end of 1931, and the general election of '32 was March, which was nearly half a year away.

Having influence among German workers was not enough for him, and Lin needed to extend his influence to other groups in Germany.

He knew this, so he began to prepare for it in October.
