Xiguan Airport is the earliest airport in Xi'an area, was built in 1924, originally used as a civilian airport, but there are too few people who can afford to sit on an airplane in these years, so it was changed to a dual-use airport in 1930, and it is also the closest airport to the city in China, it is only 4400 meters away from the city center.

Although Xiguan Airport is so close to the city center, the citizens of Xi'an do not have much opinion on this, because in the past few days there were very few planes taking off and landing at Xiguan Airport, but the situation has become very different in recent times, this airport has been expanded, not to mention, and almost every moment there are planes taking off and landing, the violent roar is noisy one after another, although the people of this year do not know what is called noise pollution, but there are also quite complaints about this new situation, At the beginning, many people also ran to complain to the garrison of the airport, but later an officer of the garrison of the airport ordered to compensate the people near the airport with fifty catties of sorghum rice for each family, and this sound disappeared immediately.

Although the matter has passed, but the people around the airport have a new hobby, that is, every day from time to time to pay attention to whether there are injured national military planes forced to land around the airport, the commander of the airport said, if there is a national army injured plane forced to land around the airport or the people can rescue the pilot in time, they will be rewarded by the government and the army, or food or the ocean, let them choose, so that the nature of the people is higher.

Erdan and Gou Yu are a place called Yangjia Village around the airport, and most of the people in this village are surnamed Yang, and the two are no exception. Erdan and Gou Yu are seventeen years old this year, and due to long-term malnutrition, they have always been malnourished, yellow-skinned, and thin. Some time ago, Xiguan Airport, which had very few planes coming and going, suddenly began to expand, and there were planes taking off and landing all day long, and sometimes you could even see some planes with black smoke on their buttocks swaying from a distance.

Most of these planes can struggle to land at the airport, sometimes the plane can not support when it flies near the airport, the pilot will choose to parachute or make a forced landing, the nearby farmers will often run to save people after seeing it, whenever they save a pilot or help the airport garrison will distribute some food, fiat currency and even the ocean to the people involved in the rescue, once a man in his early thirties in a neighboring village and a single man happened to save a pilot, and later the pilot gave him fifty yuan in order to thank him, With these 50 pieces of ocean, this famous old bachelor in the neighborhood actually built a large tiled house, bought a few acres of land, and even married a daughter-in-law, which caused a sensation in a radius of dozens of miles, and after this incident, the people nearby were even more concerned about the search and rescue of the pilots who were in distress. After listening to this inspirational story, Erdan and Gou Yu would drive the only two sheep in the family here almost every day.

Today, the two teenagers who were wandering around the airport still drove a few sheep to graze near the airport, looked at the goats grazing not far away, and looked at the soldiers standing tall with rifles in the distance. ”

Gou Yu squinted at him and said sullenly: "What do you say, you have always been unreliable." What did you say at the beginning of the month? You said that Yang Cripple was because he saved a pilot of the National Army, and then people gave him fifty yuan in order to repay his kindness, and then Yang Cripple got it, and now the house has been built, the field has been bought, and the daughter-in-law has also married, and you also said that if we can meet for a while this time, we will send it in this life, but now, let alone the plane, I didn't even have a single airplane hair, and now you actually said that you want to be a soldier, believe it or not, and when you go back, you will tell your father that your father can discount your legs? ”

"Your dad just discounted your leg?" The second protein glanced at this friend who grew up freely, and lowered his head a little sullenly.

Gou Yu snorted coldly: "What do you still say, I remember that we are generally old, and we will all be eighteen after the New Year, is it possible that you plan to be like Yang Cripple in the village before you reach thirty and talk about a daughter-in-law by luck?" ”

Hearing this, Erdan stopped talking. Rural babies get married relatively early, generally seventeen or eighteen are married, if the man has not married after twenty-one or twelve, he will definitely be laughed at by the people around him. Erdan remembered that since last year, his father and mother had begun to ask someone to find a daughter-in-law for him, but because the family was too poor, he had never been able to say that he had a daughter-in-law, which made his father and mother anxious.

At this moment, the two suddenly found a black shadow flying in the sky, and when they got closer, the two teenagers found that it was a group of large planes that they had never seen before, this kind of plane was much larger than the small planes he was common to these days, and when this group of planes arrived at the airport, they quickly landed one after another.

Looking at the rumbling sound of the planes descending one after another and the engines, the eyes of the two teenagers began to brighten a little, as if with a hint of envy and a hint of yearning for the future......

At this time, Doolittle, who had just landed at Xiguan Airport in a B-25 bomber, naturally did not know that only a few miles away from him, two Chinese teenagers were secretly making up their minds and decided to embark on another path in life.

A middle-aged official led by him took the lead and stretched out his right hand to Doolittle and said enthusiastically: "Brigadier General Doolittle, welcome your return, I would like to welcome you on behalf of the Huaxia National Government!" ”

Dulittle looked at the familiar person in front of him and was a little speechless, listening to the words translated by a young man on the side, he stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other party, but he looked at Wei Lihuang on the other side and his eyes showed puzzlement.

Wei Lihuang coughed lightly twice and said, "Brigadier General Doolittle, this is Mr. Jia Hekun, a special commissioner sent by our government, and Mr. Jia has something important to discuss with you this time. ”

"Discuss something with me?" Americans generally speak more straightforwardly, and Doolittle was puzzled when he heard this: "Mr. Jia, I am a soldier, and I can only fly planes, if you really have something to discuss with me, I'm afraid you are looking for the wrong person." ”

"That's right, I'm looking for you." Jia Hekun said with a smile on his face: "This time, the contemptible people came on the order of the central government to discuss military matters with you. ”

"You are talking to me about military matters?" Doolittle was even more strange, he pointed to his nose, "Please forgive me, wouldn't General Wei be a better candidate if you asked me to discuss military issues?" ”

Jia Hekun obviously had little experience in dealing with Westerners, and he smiled awkwardly before saying, "Brigadier General Doolittle, the reason why the central government has sent contemptible people here is because there are some things that are more appropriate for us to talk about, and I hope we can make an appointment to talk about things properly." ”

Doolittle shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, but I hope you can hurry, after all, I still have something to discuss with General Wei." ”

Jia Hekun said with a smile on his face: "Of course, of course, I will explain things to you as soon as possible!" ”

…………

Half an hour later, an angry voice came from a room at the airport.

"No, absolutely not, I will never do such a thing that insults the honor of soldiers!"

Soon, the angry Doolittle strode out of the room, and when he saw Doolittle and other generals standing outside waiting, he said to Wei Lihuang with an angry face: "General Wei, please remember that we are soldiers, not those dirty politicians or mercenary businessmen, and we should not be corrupted by those shameless methods. I don't need to rely on those dastardly means to get money, and if there is something like this in the future, don't come to me! ”

Doolittle was entrusted by Su Jin to teach flying skills and experience to a group of bomber pilots. And the best place to impart experience is naturally the actual combat, it just so happened that the whole mountain was so lively, and this place naturally became the best place for military training, so for most of the past half a month, Doolittle and his dozens of pilots and crews with a large number of bombers of the Third Army often flew back and forth to Zhongtiao Mountain, and their daily work was to drive dozens of B-25 bombers to drop the bombs they carried on the heads of the Japanese. It has to be said that thanks to their clever teachers and a lot of actual combat training, these bomber pilots of the Third Army are growing rapidly in terms of flying skills and experience, and the consequence of this is that the Japanese themselves hate them so much.

Today, Doolittle took the pilots to drive the B-25 bomber group to Zhongtiao Mountain, and just after returning home, he met the Jia Hekun commissioner, and after being pulled to a conference room by the mysterious commissioner, he finally said his thoughts, Jia Hekun hoped that Doolittle could use his influence to persuade the US government to sell the Nationalist Government a batch of fighters and bombers. Of course, this kind of thing is normal, after all, one country buys planes from another country, but then Jia Hekun hopes that Du Little can force them to land at Lanqiao Airport in Hangzhou Prefecture more than a dozen B-25 bombers privately sold to the Nationalist Government at a low price, for which the Nationalist Government will pay Dulittle and others a reward, Dulittle was furious when he heard it, and after scolding Jia Hekun, he came out angrily.

Looking at Doolittle with an angry face, Wei Lihuang explained with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, first of all, I want to apologize to you. But we also have no way, now China is too short of planes, we need a large number of planes to fight against the Japanese themselves, as long as we can hit the Japanese I himself we will do things, so these days many people in our government have suggested to buy you the more than 10 B-25 bombers you came, so that our government's air strength will be strengthened even more, this is why Commissioner Jia talked to you. ”

After hearing Wei Lihuang's explanation, the anger in Doolittle gradually subsided, but then he said: "General Wei, although I understand your patriotic feelings very well, please also remember that we are not mercenary businessmen, if I sell these fighter jets to you privately without the permission of the government, then what awaits me after I return to the United States will be a trial by a military court!" It's a very simple reason, but your Commissioner Jia actually said that as long as I reported to the U.S. government, the bombers were scrapped because they were badly damaged during the bombing of Japan. God, does he think that the intelligence services of the U.S. government are all dry food? ”

A hint of blush flashed on Wei Lihuang's face, in fact, he was also one of the candidates in favor of this plan before this. Because this kind of thing is so normal in Huaxia, it is absolutely impossible for anything in Huaxia in these years not to scrape a layer of oil after passing through the hands of officials. Take the First War Zone as an example, the military salary and various expenses allocated by the central government to the First War Zone every year are five million oceans, but in fact, when it comes to the hands of the First War Zone, it is definitely not as much as five million, because after the money is allocated through layers of checkpoints, each official who handles it will withhold some of it, and when the money in the hands of the First World War can be left with four million Wei Lihuang will burn high incense.

The most ruthless thing is that one year, only three million of this money was left in the hands of the First War Zone, and this phenomenon has long been commonplace in Huaxia, so pushing themselves and others, Jia Hekun and Wei Lihuang naturally thought that Doolittle would also accept his proposal, after all, after this matter was completed, Doolittle would earn back the pension for the rest of his life, what reason did he have to disagree. But neither Jia Hekun nor Wei Lihuang expected that Doolittle would have such a big reaction.

Seeing Wei Lihuang's somewhat flushed face, Doolittle changed the topic very wittily, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "General Wei, please forgive me. If your government really wants to buy bombers, why not buy them from General Su, I think he should be able to help. ”

Wei Lihuang could only smile bitterly when he heard this, he naturally couldn't tell Dulittle that in fact, the central government had already mentioned this issue to Su Jin, but he was told that there were no extra bombers to sell to them now, and this was naturally regarded by Chairman Jiang and the bigwigs as Su Jin's excuse, so he hit the idea on Dulittle's head.

Seeing Wei Lihuang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, a thought suddenly surged in Dulittle's heart, and he couldn't help blurting out: "General Wei, you don't want to buy these bombers because you want to bomb Japan, right?" ”

"Huh...... You...... How would you know? ”

This time it was Wei Lihuang's turn to be surprised...... (To be continued.) )
