"Whoa!"

The crowd in the lobby began to applaud enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was very warm.

At this time, Zhou Zhirou came over, led Jiang Hao and others to the lobby, and then introduced the political and business bigwigs of the Republic of China one by one.

"Now, Mr. Jiang, please!" After the salute, Zhou Zhirou shouted loudly.

Jiang Haoxin said, is there still this one, no one notified him in advance, and he has nothing to prepare, but since he has reached this point, it seems that he can't do it without taking the stage.

Jiang Hao walked to the stage, looked at the 200 men and women under the stand, and said: "At the time of national crisis, although Jiang is an overseas Chinese, he also has a heart to serve the country, the Japanese are rampant and cruel, and the domestic war is scorching and difficult, but I believe that as long as the people of the whole country are united, grit their teeth and work with the Japanese, they will definitely be able to eliminate the invaders." ”

"Every inch of rivers and mountains, every inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops," Japan has a population of 70 million, and we have 40,000 compatriots in China.

"I brought the 'Silver Dragon Clan' here this time to let the Japanese know that on this land of China, it will never be a lawn for them to take a leisurely stroll, it will not be the sky where they fly freely, and this is the cemetery where they are buried. ”

"This air battle against the Japanese is just a small punishment, it is a beginning, in the future, I will take the silver dragon team to let the Japanese invaders know the power of the Chinese, in the words of our Chinese, this is called "tooth for tooth, blood for blood"! ”

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

After Jiang Hao spoke, the audience burst into warm applause.

The song and dance sounded, a group of well-dressed men and women walked to the center of the hall, hugged each other and began to dance, and some people gathered together with wine glasses to drink and chat, laughing from time to time.

Jiang Hao sat in a corner, suddenly angry in his heart with a sense of loss, he felt very disappointed, his speech just now was not generous, not passionate, not inspiring?

No

The crowd applauded and cheered.

But why didn't it take two minutes to become like this immediately?

The situation is so erosive, everyone can see it, but this group of people can still enjoy it calmly.

Jiang Hao suddenly understood something.

These military, political and business tycoons have become accustomed to this kind of life, this is their normal state, and they can't change it.

No wonder those who are soldiers do not fight hard, don't blame them, the Chinese do not dare to fight hard, but they know that it is not worth fighting for such a group of people.

Just like some people in later generations commented, the roots are rotten, they are not saved, and pruning the branches and leaves is useless, and some people in this era have seen through the essence of the Kuomintang, so they will join our party with indomitable spirit, not afraid of hardships and hardships.

Jiang Hao finally knew why, because they were looking for a hope, a future.

At this moment, the gate suddenly opened, and a man in an officer's uniform stood on the steps and shouted: "Chairman and Mrs. Meiling have arrived!" ”

The music in the banquet hall stopped immediately, the people sitting quickly stood up, the dancers stood up, the chairman of the Standing Committee was dressed in a straight suit, and Mrs. Meiling held her arm, and the two walked into the hall, and the hall suddenly resounded with greetings.

"Hello, Chairman."

"Hello Chairman!" Salute.

The chairman and Mrs. Meiling nodded and smiled, and when they walked to the center of the banquet hall, people automatically formed a circle, and the chairman smiled and waved to the people around him, and said: "I'm just here to attend the dinner party, to celebrate yesterday's big victory, to celebrate our heroes, don't be restrained, okay, play how you want." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Jiang Hao and motioned for him to come over.

Jiang Hao walked closer, and Chairman Chang said, "Come with me upstairs and sit down, we haven't finished talking yesterday." ”

When going upstairs, there was always a man in front of the chairman to guide the way, Jiang Hao had seen the photos of the Republic of China, and he recognized who this person was at a glance, the famous military commander Dai Li.

The two walked into the box, and after closing the door, the room immediately fell silent, isolating the music and voices outside, and the two sat down, and Dai Li stood behind Lao Chang.

Jiang Hao glanced at Dai Li, just as Dai Li was also looking at Jiang Hao, the two happened to look at each other, Dai Li had a smile on his face and nodded slightly to Jiang Hao.

"Jiang Hao, last time you said that other planes were still in Hanoi, when will you be able to come over." Lao Chang asked.

"It was shipped from the U.S. and needed to be reassembled, and I estimated that it would take about two or three months to move it all." Jiang Hao said.

Lao Chang had a happy look on his face, "Then do you have any ideas on how the Silver Dragon Clan will fight?" ”

Jiang Hao had thought about this problem a long time ago and said: "We have a total of 110 fighters, including 10 B17 bombers, and the planes can't be too concentrated, in case they are attacked by the Japanese army, the losses will be too great, so I hope to get 2 or 3 airfields." ”

Lao Chang nodded, in fact, he was more afraid of losing these fighters than Jiang Hao, "There is no shortage of airfields, Soviet planes occupy one, and there are two more around the mountain city, I can give them to you."

The previous planes were gone, and the airfield was naturally empty.

Jiang Hao continued: "The command of the Silver Dragon Clan has its own system, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to fully integrate with the national army and the Soviet army, of course, we can negotiate and cooperate together and work together for the war of resistance." ”

Jiang Hao's meaning is very clear, I will fight, I will command my troops, and I can cooperate, but I will not be commanded by you.

Lao Chang frowned slightly, and said: "You can form an air force strategic group, Zhou Zhirou, Zhigarev and you, you can share the decision-making power, so it should be better." ”

Jiang Hao thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Anything else?" Lao Chang asked.

"There is also a supply problem, we brought spare parts for the aircraft ourselves, and also brought some ammunition and fuel, but after all, it is limited, and the ammunition is probably only enough for the airport to fight, and these need to be replenished by the national army."

Lao Chang nodded, "That's perfectly fine." ”

"Finally, there's the issue of the hiring fee, which I pay these pilots at $500 per person per month."

When Lao Chang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive." ”

"$500 for shooting down a warplane." Jiang Hao continued.

Lao Chang's face twitched, "It's acceptable." ”

"There is also a maintenance fee for the use of aircraft, and for each sortie of each aircraft, the fighter pays $1,000 and the bomber pays $2,000 for wear and tear maintenance, and of course, if it is lost in battle, count it in."

The corners of his eyes jumped a few times.

He calculated in his heart that Jiang Hao had 110 planes, 100 fighters, and 10 bombers, and if he went out all at once, he would have to pay 120,000 US dollars, not counting the fuel and ammunition, as well as salaries and bonuses.

Even if you go out on three missions a month, it's hundreds of thousands of dollars gone, and I feel bitter.

But he also knew that he was lucky to have a usable air force, and there was really no reason for him to make a vain envoy, so he gritted his teeth, "Yes." ”

Jiang Hao's request, Lao Chang agreed, Lao Chang waved at Dai Li, Dai Li immediately took out a cigar box from his body, took out one from it and handed it to the old man.

The old man pointed at Jiang Hao, Dai Li was slightly stunned, and took out another one and handed it to Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao glanced at this famous military commander again, calling for wind and rain outside, but in front of the old man, he was as well-behaved as a dog.

In fact, Jiang Hao's words are not wrong at all, Dai Li is really loyal to Lao Chang, he is also the sharpest minions in Lao Chang's hands, just like the head of the brocade guard in the hands of the ancient emperor, I am afraid that in the entire Kuomintang army, no one is more central to Lao Chang than this guy.

People are bad and bad, but they also account for a loyal word.

A loyal dog of the Lord.

After lighting a cigar, Lao Chang puffed out a puff of smoke and said: "Jiang Hao, now that the situation is difficult, we have to win more support from the international community, can you use your own relationship to explain that the US government will provide us with political support and financial help." ”

"It's better to get a loan, and of course, the money can be used to buy supplies directly in the United States."
