At this point, looking at the Eighth Route Army's aviation force that had grown from scratch and rapidly growing, Doolittle sighed with emotion, but also became more and more determined to stay in a team and help the Eighth Route Army develop their aviation force. cause.
Doolittle was increasingly looking forward to becoming the father of aviation for the Eighth Route Army.
At a certain military meeting, when Doolittle asked Kong Jie, he hoped that Kong Jie would propose a phased construction plan for a team of aviation units.
Kong Jie said this: "I, a layman, will not guide the experts.
Let me tell you something practical. Our Eighth Route Army is building an aviation force, but we just can’t see how arrogant the little devil’s air force is.
The Japanese have planes and aviation power. We should also build planes and have our own aviation force.
So how far do I hope our Eighth Route Army aviation force can go to build?
——Including the entire Shanxi, even the entire North China, and even the entire Sino-Japanese battlefield, within the strike range of our aviation forces.
In other words, if I make a plan to bomb the Japanese headquarters in the morning, you can blow up the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in Peiping in the afternoon.
At that time, our Eighth Route Army's aviation force became truly powerful! "
These are the words spoken to Doolittle and his group of U.S. military pilots, as well as to the external media.
After closing the door, at a military meeting at the Eighth Route Army's former enemy headquarters, Kong Jie said this again: "There is an old saying in China that says that a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Let's not talk about it remotely, that is to say, our Eighth Route Army is currently building its own aviation force. Not to mention that the little Japanese are jealous and regard us as a thorn in their flesh.
Maybe some international countries are also waiting to see our joke.
I wish our aviation force would die on the way.
But the more this happens, the more we must work hard to build up our country's aviation power as soon as possible. "
Not only that, Kong Jie’s vision was far-sighted, and he said with sincerity:
"The construction of aviation power is crucial to the enhancement of a country's military power. We should take a longer-term view and develop a larger pattern.
We must know that the enemies we are about to face are not just the Japanese troops and reactionaries in front of us, but we are likely to encounter all kinds of enemies in the future.
——This is just like in the arena, what kind of master is not afraid of being killed? Number one in the world! Only the best in the world, why? No one else can beat him, so he is naturally not afraid.
Therefore, the Japanese invaders are the target that we must defeat, but they are by no means our only target.
The truth that political power comes from the barrel of a gun will not change. Only when our military strength becomes strong enough, only when our army, navy, and air force are all strengthened.
Only then can a China like ours, which has been weak for hundreds of years, truly become strong and stand up.
Comrades, this requires us, the pioneers, to overcome obstacles and obstacles, even if it involves bloodshed and sacrifice, we must continue to fight for it! "
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers all agreed.
Captain Wang has an upright temperament, and his words are even more direct, "There is nothing to say. We fought all the battles that should be fought, and shed all the blood that should be shed. The enemy was frightened and frightened. The enemy cries like ghosts and howls like wolves, and the enemies we beat will never dare to mess with our mighty China again, even for generations to come.
At worst, we will have to work harder, but I believe that our hard work will not be in vain. Our descendants will eventually be able to live a prosperous and peaceful era with no more wars.
Then that’s enough for us in this life! "
"Yes, that's enough!" the generals said one after another.
Looking at these revolutionary martyrs with sincere eyes and no flinching in their words.
Kong Jie was deeply shocked. He suddenly felt lucky that he could not only witness the magnificent and wonderful life of these revolutionary martyrs.
What's even more fortunate is that he can also be a member of this great group and participate in and strive for all this together.
After the meeting, all the cadres left one after another, while Kong Jie was left by the deputy chief of staff and others for another short meeting.
Discuss the subsequent construction direction of the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit.
This is the greatness of Captain Kong.
At the military meeting, Kong Jie finished the meeting as the leader of a team. Now, he also held a small meeting as a pioneer and pioneer of economic construction.
The deputy chief of staff directly said: "Kong Jie! Our Eighth Route Army's military industry foundation is weak. You know this better than anyone else.
The construction of our Eighth Route Army's aviation force can only rely on our own efforts. This strength is also quite limited. We can't always rely on seizing aircraft from the Japanese airport to develop our aviation force, right?
You always have unique insights in this area, and we want to hear your thoughts! "
Everyone present was a big boss, but at this moment, in front of Kong Jie, they all looked like they were asking for advice humbly. They saw the eyes of the deputy chief of staff, deputy commander-in-chief, division commander and brigade commander all gathered around him.
Somehow, the first thought that came to Kong Jie's mind was:
If Lao Li knew about the current situation, I would definitely be called bragging! Even the bosses and others have to ask what Lao Kong means in terms of economic construction, development of the base area, and military construction!
It is not an exaggeration to call us Lao Kong - the designer of the development and construction of the base area!
Ahem——
After coughing twice and sorting out his thoughts, Kong Jie slowly said: "Leaders, before answering this question, I would like to ask a question first. If we want to draw a gourd, we will draw it according to the gourd. Is this scoop faster, or is it faster to close your eyes and imagine and draw this scoop?"
The old brigade commander laughed and said: "You kid, are you trying to hide from us? Let it go quickly!"
"Hey!" Kong Jie responded and said with a smile: "The meaning is actually very straightforward. Our Eighth Route Army has a weak military industry foundation and basically does not have much industrial foundation. This is not much different from starting from scratch.
In this case, if we want to develop rapidly, it is actually very stupid to rely on working behind closed doors to explore and figure out by ourselves.
What's the fastest way?
That is to copy the gourd, even if it is copied mechanically, we should quickly learn from those excellent people, learn from them, or even copy them directly.
Directly learn from their results and quickly stimulate our development.
Of course, my statement is only for the construction of military industry and economic construction, and the political aspect is another matter.
So I think our military industry and economic construction should go through a process of learning from others, to production, and then to trying self-innovation and reproduction.
Just like now, all fields of our military industry are in urgent need of development.
In big aspects, such as the construction of the aviation force, if our aviation force wants to become truly strong, as the deputy chief of staff said, we cannot rely on the seizure of three melons and two dates obtained from the devils. Our army has become a major aviation and military power.
That is a fantasy, absolutely impossible.
This meal still has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step.
Only when we can even create an industrial chain of fighter aircraft can the construction of our aviation force be truly developed.
Putting aside these big aspects for now, in terms of small aspects, how much military industry does our base have so far? Can we produce our own shells, bullets, artillery, guns, etc.?
How many factories do we have?
How many assembly lines are there?
Is there even one industrial product with technical content that can be used? "
Kong Jie asked and answered himself.
"No, I can say clearly, not at all. Let alone manufacturing aircraft and tanks, we also manufacture some guns, ammunition, cannons and the like. Up to now, our factory is still detaining Sosou!
In comparison, what level has the military production level of the Yankees reached?
Just the production of military industry is no longer satisfied with the development of industrialization level. Their industry has even begun to involve all aspects of civilian use, including civilian aircraft, transportation ships, cargo ships, trucks, etc.
They have their own national automobile industry and car brands. They can produce products as small as a bullet or a pen, or as large as a ship or an airplane. They have corresponding complete production processes and factories, and they are equally capable. Made for you.
In comparison, our current stage is simply an agricultural country..."
Only Kong Jie's voice echoed in the room.
At this moment, no one regarded Kong Jie as a general who could only lead troops to fight.
Everyone listened carefully, Kong Jie's words could be said to have touched everyone's heart.
Even the Deputy Chief of General Staff couldn't help but ask: "So, Kong Jie, what do you think we should do?"
Kong Jie said: "If you want me to say it, there is no other way.
While our troops are conducting military operations, we must also seize the time. In addition to vigorously developing the construction of military industry, we must also vigorously develop the centralized construction of industry.
For blank items that are not currently available in China, we will find ways to find solutions from other countries, whether it is buying supplies, equipment, technology, or experience. As long as it can help our industrial development, we will accept as much as we want.
Now that our country is in a period of urgent need for rapid development, we can no longer care about other people's jokes. Anyway, our Chinese nation is a nation that is good at learning and absorbing the successful experiences of others. "
"Of course, we can't eat a big fat man in one go. We can't build airplanes or tanks for the time being. Even if we build a factory that can produce bicycles, that's still a big deal!
The United States claims to be a country on the back of cars, and its industrial level is indeed much higher than ours. But no matter how powerful and advanced it is, isn't it built slowly brick by brick?
Could it be that they were able to build aircraft, cannons, ships and cars from the beginning?
As long as we keep catching up, I believe there will always be time to catch up with them, or even overtake them.
...Improved modern agricultural bases, industrial parks, various military industrial zones, aviation bases, automobile industrial zones, and armored bases. The gaps in each of these fields mean that we still have huge potential to tap.
We are not working behind closed doors. At present, while Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries are still nominal alliances, we should seize the opportunity and take advantage of the opportunity to develop.
It just so happens that the current war situation has basically stabilized. In the entire North China, after the Japanese army's May Day raid ended with a disastrous defeat, in the next few years, it will even continue until the Japanese army is defeated.
We can even speculate that the Japanese will no longer have enough power to launch a large-scale, threatening raid on our Eighth Route Army base area.
This is a rare golden period for our stable development.
We can take this opportunity to conceal the truth and discover it secretly.
The Japanese only occupy the main transportation arteries, as well as some important counties, towns and towns. As for more areas and larger areas, they all belong to our Eighth Route Army.
If we really get along well, maybe by the time the War of Resistance is over and the Japs are defeated and surrender, we will have quietly developed into a powerful industrial force! "
Kong Jie's words were deafening to all the generals present.
But everyone here is a big boss with a long-term vision, and Kong Jie doesn’t need to go into too much detail, after all, they can understand everything.
Then, he proposed some special agricultural and industrial development models.
For example, the rural cooperative processing model!
This can actively promote the production of means of production in a specific period and under specific conditions.
Another example is state-owned economic regulation, the application of market economy, etc.
Kong Jie said a lot. Standing on the shoulders of giants, he always takes a longer-term view.
The conference room was quiet. The generals sometimes frowned, sometimes smiled broadly, sometimes concentrated, sometimes confused, with different expressions.
But what Kong Jie said was always an eye-opener for everyone.
In the end, even the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff were a little confused.
Kong Jie, that brat, seems to be confused himself. What he said at the beginning is relatively reliable, but what he said later seems to be what comes to mind, and even the preface and the follower are inconsistent, as if the things in his head are like beans. Just pour it outside.
The deputy chief of staff was thinking very fast, and finally said only one sentence:
"Kong Jie, what you said makes sense to me! Let's do it like this. We will use one of your teams as the experimental team and officially launch it. You can use your long-term insights and thoughts to , put it all into practice! We are waiting to see your surprise!"
Kong Jie: “…………”
He was so confused that his whole body felt numb.
No, why did such a troublesome thing happen to me?
"lead……"
Kong Jie still wanted to speak, but the teacher had already chased him away with a smile, "Okay, Kong Jie, you said too much, and we can't remember or understand it. You can write a detailed report on this matter when you go back." , organize your thoughts and your opinions and report them clearly.
The other thing is what the political commissar told you, don’t forget it! "
The big guys all said so, and Kong Jie had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
When he walked out of the headquarters, there was faint laughter from everyone behind him, and then a gust of hot wind blew, and Lao Kong was all messed up...
