Richmond, Virginia.

Trains from the west, carrying large clouds of white steam, enter the station.

Feng Yong stepped onto the platform with his suitcase, and 26 young people followed him one after another. The presence of so many Asian faces made the Americans in the station look sideways, and even provoked two railway police officers to come and interrogate them.

"Stop!" The policeman raised his wooden baton.

Feng Yong took out a large pile of passports and said in fluent English: "Look at it yourself." ”

The two policemen opened their passports, looked at them carefully for a long time, and found that there was no problem, so they could only warn: "Be honest, don't make trouble here, otherwise I will arrest you yellow-skinned monkeys and shoot them!" ”

"Who do you say is the yellow-skinned monkey?"

"Must apologize!"

Two young men immediately roared, looking like they were both grumpy, and they might rush up to fight with the police at any moment.

"Shut up!"

Feng Yong scolded, took out a few dollar bills with a smile, and winked at the two policemen: "Mr. Policeman, we are employees of White's Private Flying Club, and we are not bad people. ”

The two policemen immediately laughed when they saw the dollar bills, life was not easy during the Great Depression, and they naturally did not refuse gray income.

Don't think how honest American public officials are, especially before World War II, many American police officers were half-black and half-white, arrogant and greedy, far more outrageous than the Republic of China.

After the police left, a young man was not angry: "Arrogant, they insult the Chinese, why do you want to send them money?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Feng Yong taught: "What are we doing in the United States? We are going to learn our skills and practice our killing skills in order to fight the Japanese devils in the future! What is verbally insulted? Little Japan is riding on our heads and, and occupying the four northeastern provinces completely, that is the real insult to the Chinese. You and I are both homeless people, a little insult is a fart, Han Xin still drilled the crotch of people back then! Listen to me, don't make trouble in the United States, stay in the club honestly! ”

"Yes, Headmaster!"

The 26 youths stood up straight and saluted Feng Yong in unison.

Feng Yong left the train station with the youth, rented two trucks to transport goods, and left Richmond for the suburbs.

In the suburbs, hundreds of people gather together to knock and knock, and occasionally trucks can be seen carrying earth to fill the roadbed. A young man couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that the United States is in an economic crisis, but the construction of people has not stopped, and how smooth this road is." ”

Feng Yong gritted his teeth and said: "When the little Japanese are driven away, we in China will also build roads and build roads to the countryside!" ”

Including Feng Yong, they didn't know that the scene they saw at this time was due to the economic crisis in the United States. Roosevelt's large-scale infrastructure construction and cash-for-work solution for the unemployed not only alleviated the problem of unemployment in a short period of time, but also laid a solid foundation for the United States to dominate the world.

Even in the 21st century, many of the highways built during the Roosevelt era are still important transportation guarantees in the United States.

The truck drove around the countryside for about an hour before finally seeing a street sign that read, "White Private Flying Club, 1 mile ahead." ”

After a while, the truck stopped in front of the club.

Feng Yong jumped to the ground and immediately shouted: "Assemble!" ”

Like well-trained soldiers, the 26 youths quickly stood in two rows, their heads held high, waiting for the review.

Feng Yong ordered: "Pick up your luggage, walk in unison, go!" One, one, two, one......"

A Ford car drove over, Zhou Hexuan's head stuck out of the window, and beckoned to Feng Yong: "Fifth brother, you are a little slow." ”

Feng Yong's face was overjoyed, he opened the car door and jumped on: "I was ready to leave after the Spring Festival, but the formalities were too slow, and more than 20 people were sent to the United States at once, and the American consul thought I was a transnational foreman." ”

"Hahaha," Zhou Hexuan laughed a few times, looked at the young people walking in line, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "All of them are good children." ”

Feng Yong said gloomily: "Feng Yong University has been merged into Northeastern University, and these are all engaged in anti-Japanese activities with me, and four of them only returned from the Northeast last year to fight guerrillas. At that time, it is estimated that less than 20 of the students who went out to resist Japan survived. ”

Zhou Hexuan pointed at those young people and said sadly: "Fifth brother, am I harming them? When a full-scale war broke out between China and Japan, they all had to fly planes and fight with the Japanese, fearing that they would all become martyrs. ”

"Someone has to die." Feng Yong gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes," Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly, "All I can do is to let them eat and dress well in the United States, and not let the heroes shed blood and tears." ”

Feng Yong suddenly smiled heartily: "Don't talk about these useless things, let's introduce the situation here." ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "This private flying club was established in 1919, covering an area of more than 3,200 acres, and should be fully equipped. There are a total of 21 planes, of which 6 are old antique training planes, which are broken and do not look good, and I don't know if they can still fly. In addition, there are 6 Tin Goose (three-engine monoplanes), 4 supporting American sub-mother aircraft, and 2 retired P-12s (Army-type Boeing biplanes). There are also 3 French-designed Spard 7 fighters, these 3 aircraft participated in the European War (World War I) and were retired from the Lafitte flying squad. All the weapons of the planes mentioned above have been dismantled, and you will certainly not be able to conduct live-fire training. ”

"Enough, enough." Feng Yong was extremely satisfied with the situation in the flying club.

Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "These are all old antiques from 20 years ago, and it is definitely not enough to fight air battles with the Japanese, and the performance of the aircraft has improved a lot now." ”

Feng Yong asked: "Can you buy the latest American fighter plane?" ”

"That thing is a controlled item, and you can't get it with money," Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile, "I'm already in contact, hoping to get a few planes through loopholes, such as getting a modified civilian version, but don't expect too much." ”

Feng Yong said: "I understand, it's hard for you." ”

Zhou Hexuan smiled: "What am I embarrassed about? It's just a matter of spending some money, and it's up to you on the battlefield in the future. ”

This private club has been abandoned for several years, and after the economic crisis in the United States, the owner of the club was on the verge of bankruptcy. More than 3,200 acres of land, plus various equipment and aircraft, Zhou Hexuan only spent a total of 30,000 US dollars to buy it.

No way, land prices in the suburbs of the United States are too cheap these days. The previous boss was equivalent to half selling and half giving away, so he threw the flying club to Zhou Hexuan - just more than 3,000 acres of land has to pay a large amount of taxes to the state government every year, and ordinary people really can't afford it.

If you take this as a pure investment, Zhou Hexuan still earns it.

By the time the highway from Richmond to Washington was completed, the flying club would be only half an hour's drive from Virginia's capital and three hours from Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.

Even if the land is left here, the price of land alone can soar thousands of times after a few decades.

It's not wrong to save the country and make money.
