    The idea of ??establishing a flying crash school for the Allied Frontline Air Force has been around for a long time. Wang Geng also discussed this with Chief of Staff Jiang Hongyu and Commander of the Frontline Air Force Huang Jingbo. As for the Prime Minister of the Volga Federation, Vasily Nikolayevich.  Pepelyayev kept talking to Wang Geng every now and then, because he heard that the Yekaterinburg Arsenal in Western Siberia had begun to produce not only Chinese-standard ammunition and various types of artillery for the coalition, but also Chinese automobiles.  The branch factories and workshops of the manufacturing company and China Aircraft Manufacturing Company are also already in full swing.

    How can the nominal head of the Volga Federation still sit still?  Therefore, Wang Geng was urged to restore and establish arsenals and heavy industry bases in Tsaritsyn, Saratov, Samara and other places in the Volga Federation as soon as possible. In addition to restoring the original arsenal in Tsaritsyn, and starting to produce the Chinese standard for the coalition forces  In addition to guns and ammunition, artillery and machine guns, the focus is on the establishment of steel, oil refining, automobiles, armored vehicles, tanks and aircraft manufacturing plants.

    Of course, the damage caused by the war to Russian factories cannot be recovered in a day or two. Fortunately, cities such as Tsaritsyn, Saratov, and Samara have strong industrial foundations, and the Volga River is along the banks, with developed river transportation and transportation.  Convenient and moderately located, it is indeed a good choice for the development of heavy industry and military manufacturing. Therefore, Wang Geng followed suit and planned that starting from August, the Volga Federation's agriculture would focus on ensuring the harvest of summer grain, while the industry would focus on restoring steel,  Oil refining, new automobile, armored vehicle and tank factories, and aircraft manufacturing plants are the main areas.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the combat tasks of the frontline air force wings are very tight. At this time, we need to establish a flight school in Samara. I'm afraid we have to transfer teachers from Nanyuan Aviation School. I'm afraid it's a little too late in terms of time." Qian Tianfuzi reminded at the side  He said, in fact, this guy hasn't changed his mind yet. Why should the Japanese learn to fly? It was agreed that the Chinese army and air force, and the Japanese army and navy, would go their separate ways and not pose a threat to each other. What's going on now?  You said, we haven't developed a navy yet, why don't we introduce little devils to join our air force first?

    "Advisor Qian, I don't think time is a problem at all. It takes time to select pilot trainees from Japan. I think one month is enough, but the quota of 500 people is a bit short. Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I hope that at least  We can admit 1,000 Japanese students!" Tanaka Yiyi said plausibly.

    Jiang Hongyu couldn't help but feel annoyed as he listened. He thought, "How come this guy doesn't blush at all when he opens his mouth?"  The training and training costs for pilots are very high, and military pay, allowances, logistics, and even death and disability pensions are also ridiculously high. They are simply piled up with real money. Is this because he doesn¡¯t have to pay for tuition, food, and accommodation?  So you plan to let the Allied Aviation School train so many pilots for Japan for free?

    Wang Geng didn¡¯t think so. You must know that during the entire European War, more than 50,000 pilots from the Allied Powers and the Allied Powers died in bloody battles. The pilots of the Allied Powers on the Western Front still had a rotation system, but many ace pilots still remained in the end.  It ended in death in action, and due to the insufficient number of German pilots, front-line pilots had to undertake much more frequent missions than Allied pilots. This also caused most of the German ace pilots to end up dead in action.

    Of course, from an evil point of view, Wang Geng plans to make the enrollment of Japanese flight cadets proportional to the number of combat casualties of pilots in the frontline Allied Air Force. Your training is not for Japan to develop its air force, but for the Allied Air Force.  Become a cow, a horse, a vanguard and cannon fodder.

    Therefore, Wang Geng plans to recruit 500 Japanese trainees in the first phase of the Allied Air Force crash school, and the basic training course will be shortened from 3 months to 2 months. In fact, this is also the crash training cycle for Western Front Allied Air Force flight cadets. Of course  After 2 months, I will be able to fly alone in a fighter plane and complete basic formation flights, and I will be able to aim and shoot at targets in the air. That¡¯s basically it.

    Of course, another problem facing Wang Geng is what type of aircraft will federal and Japanese flight cadets be allowed to fly after they complete their flight school courses and join the coalition air force?  Normally, it is obvious that fighter squadrons are the main force in air combat, playing a large role and causing large battle losses, followed by bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. However, the China Aircraft Manufacturing Company has not continued to produce the SE5 biplane fighter, let alone the dh4.  fighter-bombers, should we allow federal and Japanese students to fly Chinese FR18 fighter-bombers at the same time?

    Obviously the time is not yet ripe. Wang Geng does not intend to always use the China FR18 multi-purpose fighter to replace the single-purpose fighter. That would be too costly, and a two-seat fighter-bomber with both bombing performance is used for air combat. In fact, the price-performance ratio is not the same.  Low.

    Before Wang Geng could speak, Jiang Hongyu spoke first, pointing the finger at the issue of the need for 1,000 pilot cadets that Tanaka Yiichi had said loudly.

    "Deputy Chief of Staff, pilots are not an Army infantry class. They are not interested in all aspects of the students' physical and cultural knowledge.??Strict requirements, and besides, I am in charge of coalition logistics. At this time, the supply guarantee for the nearly one million troops on the front line is too stretched to take care of it. If you want to send 1,000 Japanese trainees to the aviation school, where can I find accommodation for you?  Where to get something to eat?  The dormitory and the hangar are still empty at the moment. I think if the frontline aviation school is opened, 100 places will be enough for you!  "

    Jiang Hongyu's words made Tanaka Yi choke and almost lose his breath. The guy argued anxiously, "Jiang Sang, what are you talking about? What use are 100 pilot students? Just follow the way we have been fighting these past two days."  and losses. The pilots we trained for three months are not enough to fight on the front line for three days. Isn¡¯t this child¡¯s play? I think the number of pilot training and reserves must be based on the premise and reference of being able to replenish the losses on the front line in a timely manner.  !¡±

    Tanaka's words were on point. Wang Geng nodded in his heart after hearing this. However, he also knew that Jiang Hongyu was trying to squeeze Tanaka, but he was actually expressing his reservations about opening aviation school training to Japanese students. However, Wang Geng believed  This is just awkward for a while. If you think about it carefully afterwards, Jiang Hongyu will definitely figure it out with his wisdom.

    China¡¯s monopoly on the air force and aviation fleet in Asia does not lie in pilot training, but in China¡¯s aviation manufacturing industry, which continues to independently develop and produce aircraft with superior performance on a large scale.

    "You have to eat your food one bite at a time, Commander-in-Chief, I think what Chief of Staff Chiang and General Tanaka said have their own truths. Although the battle losses of the Allied pilots on the Western Front were staggering, and the average survival rate was 3 weeks to 6 weeks, I think that is  Just like the British and French Air Forces, our Air Force is still a new force and cannot compete with the Dragon King.
