Chapter 684: A Small Request
It's a shame to lose people, this is how Doolittle and the Yankees feel at the moment, especially Gray's face feels a fever. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, Gray said this was just a reflex, in his opinion, Huaxia was a barren place, both the materials and the people here were unusually barren and ignorant, these B-25 were the latest bombers that had just been in service for less than half a year, and Gray, who had a strong sense of responsibility, thought that he had an obligation to protect the property of the United States of America, and blurted out the words just now. But who knew that the bomber who had just landed on the runway not far away was enough to crush their B-25 just by looking at the block, and the major general made a group of people open their mouths wide after telling the data, with a load of 7 tons and a range of 5600 kilometers, which is enough to kill all American bombers at this stage.
There was an unsettling silence, even Doolittle felt very embarrassed, he didn't expect such a fucking thing to happen just after being rescued, he looked at Su Jin on the side, and his eyes couldn't help but have a taste of pleading. But instead of breaking the siege, the Admiral added fuel to the fire, and he pointed at the major general and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I forgot to introduce you. This is Major General Chu Yuan, the commander-in-chief of our group army, and is responsible for commanding all our air forces, which means that everything that can fly in our group army is under his control, so I think his words are still very credible. ”
"Hell!"
If Chu Yuan's words just now were sarcastic, Su Jin's words were a naked slap in the face, and it was the kind that opened his arm and hit him hard.
It stands to reason that with Su Jin's identity at this time, he should laugh at this kind of thing, after all, a general who is scheming with a group of American soldiers will inevitably lose his identity. But this idea was vetoed by him just for a flash in his mind, he knew very well the urine nature of these Westerners, this is a group of guys who only recognize strength, Gray can say Fang Cai's words It seems to be inadvertent, but in fact, it is not the true idea hidden in his heart, so Chu Yuan stopped and confronted Gray-for-tat, and Su Jin was happy to serve.
When he arrived at this place, Doolittle could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and he was very embarrassed and said, "Sir, Your Excellency, I beg your pardon, Gray really did not mean to. ”
Su Jin stopped and looked at Doolittle and said seriously: "Lieutenant Colonel, I don't care if I mean it or not, but this is Huaxia and our territory." I know that when you dropped the first bomb on the head of the Japanese, you became a hero to the American people, but it has nothing to do with us, I don't need to be used to you, so I want you to understand one thing, some things are not necessarily as important as you think, such as the "Mitchell" plane behind you that was almost broken into tatters by Japanese machine guns, you know what I mean? ”
Doolittle only felt that today was simply a loss of face for the rest of his life, but he still apologized seriously: "Yes sir, I apologize to you on behalf of my subordinates!" ”
Seeing Doolittle bow his head and apologize, Su Jin was also a little surprised, and he also had some good feelings for this old man, no matter what, this guy still has the courage to admit his mistakes. He patted Doolittle on the shoulder and smiled: "Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, judging from your behavior of apologizing for your subordinates, you are indeed an excellent officer, even if this incident is in the past just now, now I will take you to see the young men who saved you just now, I believe that there must be many common languages between you." ”
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
Although there were some small accidents, the responsibility of being the host still had to be fulfilled. Regardless of the era of the Air Force, its level of treatment and benefits are often the highest, for example, there is the Air Force's own bar at Lanqiao Airport. That night, Su Jin personally invited Doolittle and his group of seventy-five pilots to drink in the bar under Lanqiao Airport, and asked the pilots who saved Doolittle today to accompany them, and the group was also happy, but Su Jin only sat for a while and then left. After all, he knows very well that his identity today is no longer the head of the militia regiment at the beginning, at this time, as an army general who commands hundreds of thousands of elite people of the Republic of China, if he is stunned to get together with a group of grassroots officers and soldiers, I am afraid that everyone will be awkward, so he left after drinking a few glasses of wine.
After Su Jin left, the atmosphere in the bar suddenly became lively, and the American GIs who had survived the catastrophe also let go of their hearts and soon got drunk.
And Doolittle, as the leader of these American soldiers, did not drink as elated as other pilots, but sat alone in a corner quietly drinking beer and thinking about his thoughts. At this moment, a figure walked up to him.
"Lieutenant Colonel, may I sit down?"
As soon as Doolittle raised his head, this person was none other than the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Major General Chu Yuan, who was furious today.
Doolittle shrugged his shoulders, "Your Excellency, can I say no?" ”
"Of course not!" Chu Yuan suddenly laughed, he sat down opposite Doolittle, stretched out his hand and beckoned the bartender to ask for a beer, first touched a glass with Doolittle and then took a big sip before saying, "Lieutenant Colonel, are you still worried about today's incident?" ”
Instead of answering the question head-on, Doolittle asked rhetorically: "Would you mind if someone scolded your subordinates in front of you if you were replaced?" ”
"Maybe." Chu Yuan smiled faintly: "But you were also at the scene at the time of the incident, and you know what happened." Some people are questioning our integrity, and as an air force commander, I naturally want to stand up for the honor of our air force, and I think this is reasonable for any country I go to, right? Or if someone questions the honor of your U.S. military, you can be indifferent as an American soldier? ”
Hearing this, Doolittle stopped talking, today's matter was originally their fault, if they continue to entangle, it will be too inferior, this is not Doolittle's style.
I didn't want to play dumb riddles with this Air Force Major General anymore, and Doolittle also knew that this Major General would definitely not come to quarrel with him, so he asked directly: "Your Excellency, Major General, we are all soldiers, if you have anything, please tell me directly." ”
Chu Yuan smiled and said to Doolittle: "Lieutenant Colonel, in fact, I don't have any big deals. I know that you and your men are in the elite of the U.S. Army Air Corps, so I have a small request for your help. ”
"What requirements?" A bad premonition immediately swelled up in Doolittle's heart. (To be continued.) )
