The pilots of the Ukrainian Air Force in 1991 were not the world's "top" air force that later relied on bombing civilians to invite credit, and their technology was a hegemon in the air with the help of their big brother.

Later, during the Eagle-Sauce military exercise, there was a collision between friendly forces in the world, also since the turn of the millennium, they were called: "The world's worst air force." ”

I have to say that Lao Maozi's coffin board is almost uncontrollable.

In the Air Force Club, Tang Dao saw the pilots who had been assembled, standing listlessly and crookedly, and even some of them were full of red faces and the smell of alcohol, which made Tang Dao already pass the other party in his heart.

"This is Mr. Nicholas, and he needs some veteran drivers, and I think, gentlemen, if you have ideas, you can interview." Gobanov smiled, and the flesh on his face was shaking.

The pilots had apparently heard the news, but there was applause from Zero, and most of them had scrutinizing eyes.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen, I have always had an admiration for the military, so I am willing to personally fund 30,000 US dollars to change the status quo of the Air Force Club so that you can better protect the Ukrainian sky." Tang Dao tied his hands and spoke first, this is a sweet date first, sure enough, these words have been said, and the pilots in front of him immediately looked at each other, but then the next second was cheering.

As a special technical unit, although their salaries will not be less, their benefits have been cut a lot, and they can barely eat enough.

And, the last thing they can stand is that the Air Force Club only serves a small amount of alcohol, how can this be? How do you fly a plane without drinking? They protested many times, but the logistics department said they couldn't help it.

Listening to this cheer, Gobanov was very embarrassed, and he still complained a little bit about Tang Dao in his heart.

If you want to fund me, just say it in front of the public, and he is embarrassed to get stuck out of it, so he can only touch his nose and applaud the public opinion behind him.

"We are a comprehensive foreign trade company, and we are in urgent need of 20 qualified crew members, if selected, a salary of no less than 150,000 US dollars per year, and there are semi-annual bonuses and year-end bonuses, and if the benefits are good, there are additional bonuses, and there are subsidies for each quarter."

$150,000!?

The club was suddenly littered, only Tang Dao's voice was full of temptation and surrounded everyone's ears, followed by a rapid wheezing and... Crazy!

"Choose me, choose me, I have flown the Su-27 fighter for more than 400 hours."

"I... I have the Hero of the Air Force medal issued by the USSR, and I am safely at a distance of more than 20,000 km! ”

"I've been in four positions..."

These sons of heaven were completely crazy, constantly surging forward, this enthusiasm frightened Tang Dao back half a step, Jin Dun and others hurriedly stepped forward to protect him in the middle, Gobanov kept shouting in the back, and climbed onto the table to scold, "Gentlemen, you are soldiers, not bandits!" Please stand for me, or I'll take you to the confinement cell. ”

This confinement room was like some kind of flood beast, which made the pilots suddenly feel a lot more rational, but they still looked at Tang Dao with hopeful eyes.

Tang Dao wiped his cold sweat, he underestimated the enthusiasm of the crowd a little, in fact, his standard was not competitive at all in the era of private airlines around the turn of the millennium, when many companies offered an annual salary of four or five hundred thousand dollars, and they could not recruit excellent pilots.

What is the most valuable thing after stepping into the 21st century, talent!

"Gentlemen, please calm down." Tang Dao tore off his wrinkled suit, and his voice was a little hoarse, "I am willing to give you so much salary, but at the same time, the requirements are also very high, first, you are not allowed to drink alcohol during the flight, and you are not allowed to bring pets on the plane, especially bears!" Second, my company's current main business area is Africa, if someone can't stand it, please don't raise your hand, third, everyone signs a contract with the company for at least ten years, if you can't do the above, please don't waste time. ”

This requirement no longer seemed normal to others, but for Soviet pilots.

It's too much╮(๑•́₃•̀๑)╭!

Their demand for alcohol outweighed their desire for dollars, and some of them put down their hands in a huff, while others shouted dissatisfiedly, "It's safest to drink and fly a plane, because you can't feel the pain of the wind." ”

Tang Dao twitched his cheeks, and closed his mouth very honestly.

You can't discuss safety accidents with a group of drunkards, all he can do is refuse the other party to join his company, Tang Dao turned his head and looked at Jin Dun, "It's up to you here, you must choose according to my requirements, I don't want my dollars to be used as charity." ”

"Okay, boss." Jin Dun nodded, commanded the two bodyguards to put the table together, loudly beckoned all those who were willing to sign up, and also asked Gobanov to find someone familiar with the pilot to identify, so as not to have shoddy people.

Gobanov walked over at this time, like a pyramid schemer, "Mr. Nun Lars, what else do you like?" ”

"I think that's enough." Tang Dao shrugged his shoulders and refused, mainly because he didn't have much money in his bank card, and the six million dollars were squandered like this, and he shrank rapidly, and he panicked when he had no money, and this batch of goods was enough for him to digest for a while, and it was already an unexpected surprise to get 3 Il-76s.

In his character, he first found a place to survive, such as North Africa or Central Africa, and then opened up a shipping route to radiate Africa, around 1991, but there were many civil wars that broke out, and those warlords had money but no weapons, so they were just waiting to be developed.

Tang Dao has a very detailed development drawing in his mind, Europe is the chassis of several big countries, North America also has hooligans, Asia is even more dangerous, a bunch of penguins in Antarctica do not have a civil war, polar bears do not need tanks, then they can only gain a foothold in Africa, the people here are easy to bully, and the corresponding colonial rule has just ended, the competitiveness is smaller, but it is also more chaotic,

Gobanov was not interested in Tang Dao anymore, and he also shrank his head in disappointment, and he was also ready to sell Su-27 fighters and Tu-22M bombers, known as "Backfire". These things are all money, but the expression on this face is only passing, and the enthusiasm is restored, "Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria for a good drink and celebrate the happy cooperation." ”

Go drink... Industrial alcohol?

"You're welcome, General, I have to go back and arrange for someone to pick up the goods, there are too many things." Tang Dao pressed Gobanov's wrist and waved his hand, "Next time, I invite you to come to the United States, and we will have a drink together." ”

This kind of polite remark, but the Ukrainians took it seriously!

He pursed his lips regretfully, sighed, but smiled and said, "I won't force my friend to do anything, but you can't forget what you said, I haven't been to the United States yet." ”

Capitalism at this time is in Ukraine's mind two extremes, curiosity and fear or rejection and euphoria.

Mixed emotions affected Soviet politics as well as ordinary people.

Gobanov personally sent Tang Dao to the door, promised to cooperate with the Golden Shield to recruit people and sent Il-76 to Kiev Airport in a regular name, gave Tang Dao a hug and sent him to the car to leave.

Tang Dao sat in the car and waved his hand, and only after he exceeded the horizontal plane did he reach out and close the window, but his eyes looked outside, and he suddenly spoke, "Pierce." ”

"Boss?" Alexander sitting in front of the co-pilot. Pierce looked back and answered.

"Do you know a lot of Vietnam veterans?"

Pierce hummed, "I know a lot, and there are more than a hundred of them who are homeless people in New York. ”

"I'm willing to give them a job, can you handle them?" Tang Dao turned his head and looked at him and asked.

"Work?" Pierce's left cheek twitched, but then he was delighted, "Of course, boss, I don't think they have to put much effort into managing it, because they will definitely cherish any job!" God knows how miserable they are, I swear. ”

Apparently, he was excited.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Tang Dao pressed his hand, "You go back to New York to contact them, if you want, come to me, however, tell them that making money will kill people." ”
