Chapter 454 Shen Fei, the wet nurse of the Republic Air Force
Jiangcheng is actually not that far from Fengtian, where Shen Fei is located.
It’s just over three hundred kilometers.
In fact, many people from other provinces regard the three northeastern provinces as the same region.
People from the three northeastern provinces usually feel that they are not far from home once they enter Shanhaiguan.
Even though Shanhaiguan is still thousands of kilometers away from Erbin City, the capital of Heilongjiang Province.
However, cultural identity, eating habits, and the same Dazizi accent make Heiji Liao and Eastern Mongolia form a whole (Bincheng is an exception).
Of course.
This situation is not limited to the Northeast.
Similar to F4 in Southwest China - the four brothers from Guiyun, Sichuan and Chongqing.
Jiang Chen is from Qianzhou.
But if he meets people from Dian Province, Sichuan-Shu Province and Yuzhou City in other places, he will regard them as half fellow villagers.
Because these three provinces and one city have great similarities in terms of eating habits, accents, and even personalities.
It makes sense to be treated as a whole.
This is why after Jiang Chen took the high-speed train from Jiangcheng to Fengtian, he felt as if he was not going from one provincial capital to another, but in the same province.
"You are classmate Jiang Chen, right?"
Fengtian high-speed railway station.
Jiang Chen walked out of the station carrying a camouflage luggage bag, and was immediately greeted by two soldiers wearing light blue 07-type air force winter uniforms.
The man walking in front was probably in his thirties, with two stripes and one star on his shoulder strips.
The military rank is major.
The man following him was probably in his twenties.
The rank of sergeant.
"Hello, hello, I am Cheng Ziang, the security officer of the Shenfei Guard Battalion. I was ordered to pick you up at the high-speed rail station. I heard that you were discharged from the hospital today and rushed here. Thank you for your hard work."
The other party just walked up to Jiang Chen and took the initiative to extend his hand.
Jiang Chen quickly saluted the other party with a military salute, then took the other party's hand and said, "I'd rather trouble the chief to come and pick me up. In fact, I can take a taxi there myself."
Cheng Ziang smiled and said, "What's the trouble? You've helped us solve a big problem by coming here."
"Xiao Li, help Mr. Jiang carry his luggage to the car first." He turned back and said to the sergeant.
The sergeant heard this.
He quickly walked over and wanted to take the bag from Jiang Chen's hand.
Jiang Chen hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself, so there's no need to trouble the squad leader."
"No trouble, no trouble. You are a guest after all. You are still our distinguished guest from Shen Fei. The chief and other leaders have given me orders to entertain you well." Cheng Ziang said with a smile.
When Jiang Chen saw this, he didn't insist anymore.
"Are you hungry? If so, let's go eat something first and then go back?" Cheng Ziang asked again.
Jiang Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not hungry. I ate in Jiangcheng before coming here. Let's go back first."
"That's okay." Cheng Ziang said, "You pilots are very valuable, so you can't just eat these things outside."
"Our car is parked in the parking lot. Xiao Li will drive first. We will wait for him here for a few minutes."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Then he asked curiously, "There are so many people at the exit, how do you know the person you pick up must be me?"
The high-speed rail from Jiangcheng to Fengtian has not been open for a long time.
And because there is no speed limit.
The distance of more than 300 kilometers actually only took 70 minutes.
Therefore, almost all passengers traveling between the two places choose to take the high-speed rail instead of taking regular express or long-distance buses, let alone flying.
This results in almost every train on this high-speed railway being fully booked.
"You are the only one among so many people wearing a military uniform, and it is also the winter uniform of our air force. The epaulettes are cadet epaulettes. I don't think you can recognize it." Cheng Ziang explained with a smile.
Only then did Jiang Chen react.
I have been wearing hospital uniforms these past few days, and I just changed into the Type 07 Air Force winter uniform today, so I didn't react for a while.
The two chatted for a while. A military green off-road vehicle had already driven up to the two people.
Cheng Ziang took two quick steps and took the initiative to open the car door for Jiang Chen.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen could only get into the car helplessly.
After Cheng Ziang also sat in the passenger seat, the off-road vehicle restarted and merged into the traffic flow.
Shenfei is not far from the high-speed rail station, only about ten kilometers.
Located on Lingbei Road, Huanggu District, Fengtian City.
It's not far from Beiling Park.
Yes.
It was Huanggutun where the Feng clique warlord Zhang Zuolin was killed by a Jaap bomb.
And Shen Fei's predecessor also has an inseparable relationship with the Zhang family and his son.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In the late 1920s, Zhang Xueliang, one of the four great princes of the Republic of China, founded the Northeast Aviation Factory and built Beiling Airport in 1930.
then.
The Feng Faction warlords can already produce thirty or forty types of aircraft parts such as fuselages, tails, propellers, engine mounts, some instruments, and photographic equipment.
It even established an air force and a series of ancillary facilities in the Northeast, such as oil depots, ammunition depots, maintenance workshops, etc., laying the foundation for the aviation industry in the three northeastern provinces.
After the September 18th Incident.
Due to the "non-resistance" policy of the clique warlords.
Not only did the three northeastern provinces become rivals, but a series of industrial bases developed by the Feng Faction warlords also became the bridegroom of others, including the Northeast Aviation Factory.
But twenty years later.
The aviation factory regained its vitality and was named State-owned Field 11.
In 1957, the name was changed to state-owned Songling Machinery Factory.
It was not until 1986 that the name was officially changed to Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
So far.
Shen Fei's illustrious reputation resounded throughout the entire land of China.
If the Air Force Aeronautical University is the ‘cradle of the Republic’s Air Force’, then Shen Fei is the ‘nanny of the Republic’s Air Force’.
Because the Air Force of the Republic has developed from zero foundation to the present, it has developed from nothing to the second largest air force in the world. Regardless of its advanced equipment, scale, and pilot talent reserve, it is well-deserved to be the second largest air force in the world.
And among them.
Shen Fei made an indelible contribution.
Almost half of the domestically produced fighters that we are familiar with and have outstanding achievements were developed and manufactured by Shen Fei.
Even Cheng Fei, who is now driving alongside Shen Fei and is equally prestigious, was founded by Shen Fei who went south to help build it.
So there is no outstanding contribution from Shen Fei.
There would be no Republic Air Force today.
Although Chengdu Aircraft has suddenly emerged in recent years and has successively developed two domestically produced fighter jets with all intellectual property rights - the J-10 series and the J-20 series, Shenyang Aircraft has lost the competition with Chengdu Aircraft twice in a row.
As a result, Shen Fei received a lot of criticism online.
Some people even joked that Shen Fei could only imitate and not surpass.
The Su-27 flanker must be completely wiped out before stopping.
But apart from trolling, the trolls will never recall the outstanding contributions Shen Fei once made, let alone see the brilliant achievements Shen Fei has achieved now.
They will only compare Cheng Fei and Shen Fei with each other, and then attack each other.
Shen Fei and Cheng Fei were even idolized and fandomized.
In fact, these people simply have holes in their heads, also because they eat too much.
Whether it is Shenyang Aircraft or Chengdu Aircraft, it is an indispensable R&D and manufacturing center for the Republic of China Air Force.
Both are indispensable.
Therefore, it is not advisable to praise Cheng Fei and belittle Shen Fei, or to elevate Shen Fei and belittle Cheng Fei.
And neither stupid nor bad!
