Then came a dinner party.

Since this is Rabaul, which was still fighting in the Japanese-occupied area not long ago, food is very limited.

But Wang Mazi still put a lot of thought into this dinner, and he even sent a company to hunt game in the woods before that...... But even this was not easy, because many of the remnants of the Japanese army hid in the jungle, and they had already beaten up the game in the jungle due to lack of supplies.

Luckily, however, the "game" company managed to get a wild boar and a few pheasants, plus some beef from the Yankee guys and vegetables that only the officers were entitled to...... At least for Zhang Chi and the others, it is very rich.

But Xu Zhengkai looked at the food in front of him with a displeased face.

"Do you eat all of this?" Xu Zhengkai asked.

"General!" Wang Mazi said with a smile: "Because this Rabaul has just been won, the war has not yet stabilized, so ......"

"Master!" Xu Zhengkai unceremoniously dropped his chopsticks and said, "I don't care, but the two hundred and thirty-seven people under my command, they are the elite of the country, they are pilots, and they are desperate to fight the enemy in the airplane...... If their meals are just like that, how can I guarantee their combat effectiveness? How to send them to the sky to fight?! I'm responsible for them, understand? ”

With a "Teng", Zhang Chi couldn't help but stand up.

Wang Mazi hurriedly gave Zhang Chi a succession of looks, and shook his head lightly at the same time.

But Zhang Chi didn't care about this, he stared at Xu Zhengkai's eyes and said without giving in: "General, the pilot's life is fate, and our life is also fate......

"Yes!" Xu Zhengkai sneered: "Your life is also your life, but your life is worth the life of a pilot?" ”

Zhang Chi was almost stunned by Xu Zhengkai's words, he knew that Xu Zhengkai was just dissatisfied with the food, and then turned the topic to the pilot by using the topic to kidnap with morality.

Because it is clear that in the country pilots can have such food ?!

It's strange to know that there are resources in the country, and even if pilots are indeed more important than ordinary soldiers, the food is by no means comparable to this table of game and seafood.

So Zhang Chi asked Xu Zhengkai without giving in: "Then please ask the general to make our life ...... Why can't you live up to the pilot's life? Are there fewer enemies to kill?! ”

When Zhang Chi asked him like this, Xu Zhengkai couldn't help but be stunned.

You must know that those pilots have not even been sent to the battlefield, so of course they have not killed as many enemies as Zhang Chi and other armies.

"Colonel!" After thinking about it, Xu Zhengkai replied, "Don't you know...... Pilots are not there to kill people, their targets are more enemy warships and aircraft, and there are other important targets! ”

"Warships and planes?" Zhang Chi replied: "I want to think about it...... Oh, we just captured an aircraft carrier called 'Shozuru', captured an airfield, destroyed thirty-one planes in the airfield, and captured one hundred and sixty planes. If we want to destroy it, we just need to blow them up now with grenades and explosives packs! ”

Hearing this, Xu Zhengkai couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that this Xu Zhengkai was a second-generation official who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and he didn't have any intention of fighting at all, and the reason why he came to Rabaul was because his father wanted to send him overseas to cross the gold, and he also heard that this position would not be very dangerous...... Everyone can see what the chairman of the committee deliberately delays the duration of training and sends a group of undertrained pilots, so this has become a sought-after fat gap.

Therefore, Xu Zhengkai said that he was here to command the pilot group, but in fact he did not even have basic knowledge of air combat, and he knew very little about Rabaul's situation, and he always thought that those Japanese fighters and aircraft carriers were captured by the Americans.

Xu Zhengkai looked at the adjutant beside him with some disbelief, the adjutant nodded slightly, and Xu Zhengkai knew that what Zhang Chi said was the truth.

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Zhengkai snorted coldly: "It's just more than 100 planes on an aircraft carrier, if we have more than 200 pilots waiting for us, how can we have more than 100 planes on an aircraft carrier?" ”

; Zhang Chi sneered bitterly, hearing this, Zhang Chi knew that this guy in front of him had no thoughts about aircraft carriers and fighters at all, and thought that it would be easy to sink an enemy aircraft carrier!

"Yes...... yes" Wang Mazi saw that Zhang Chi was still arguing, and hurriedly got up to play a round: "This is one of my subordinates, he has no culture, he is a rough man, don't mind the general......"

As he spoke, he grimaced at Zhang Chi.

Seeing Wang Mazi's appearance, Zhang Chi couldn't fight anymore, so he sat down sullenly.

But Harris, who was sitting on the sidelines, opened his mouth.

Harris is only speaking now because he doesn't know Chinese.

Of course, he brought an interpreter with him, which was to prepare for better communication with the Chinese pilots. It's just that the translation process is slow, so Harris hasn't had a chance to talk until now.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Major General!" Harris said to Xu Zhengkai: "Please allow me to introduce myself first, I am Colonel Harris, and I am responsible for training Chinese pilots!" ”

Xu Zhengkai hurriedly put on a smiling face and responded: "Hello! Colonel Harris! ”

"There's something I have to say!" Harris said: "I doubt what you just said, with more than 100 Japanese planes that have not yet participated in the training, they can easily reach Colonel Zhang's record, that is, sink an aircraft carrier and shoot down nearly 200 fighters!" ”

After the translator finished this paragraph, Harris continued: "You know, if we can exchange five hundred fighters for an enemy aircraft carrier, then we will not hesitate to do it!" What does Your Excellency the General mean...... Is the 150 Japanese fighters you are flying comparable to the 500 American fighters? ”

"No, no, of course not!" Xu Zhengkai was dumbfounded by Harris's question.

But Harris wasn't done yet, he continued: "With all due respect, although I haven't seen the pilots you brought with me, I have a hunch that they can save their lives in air combat, let alone how many planes they shoot down!" ”

Xu Zhengkai was able to rely on his rank of major general to speak big and play prestige in front of Chinese officers, but he immediately coaxed in front of the Americans, because he knew that this rank was not useful in the Americans, and Stilwell, an American general, dared to make trouble with President Jiang again and again.

So he only glared at Zhang Chi fiercely and swallowed this breath.
