There is an old saying in China called "Nothing to do", which means that if a person is obviously nothing, but he shush you and ask for warmth, and the hippie smile frequently shows goodwill, which means that he must have something for you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Doolittle is not from China, he still understands this truth. After all, someone who still sneers at you in the afternoon smiles at you at night, and this kind of scene changes and everyone has to mumble in their hearts.

With a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes, Doolittle shrugged his shoulders and said, "General Chu, I don't know if I have anything I can help you, you must know that the most valuable thing we have here is the few broken planes that you said were beaten into a sieve by Ri Ying himself." ”

Although Doolittle thought that he had covered it up well, how could the fleeting vigilance in his eyes hide from Chu Yuan, who was carefully observing him, Chu Yuan smiled before saying: "It seems that you are still worried about this afternoon's events, but please forgive me, if you were in my position, I think your reaction would be even more intense than mine." ”

This time Doolittle was silent, Chu Yuan was telling the truth. When it comes to the honor of his country and army, Doolittle also understands that that is the normal reflection of the other party, if he had changed himself, he might have taken out his pistol and jumped that nonsense guy a long time ago.

Seeing that Doolittle didn't speak, Chu Yuan took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, it's like this." We also have a B-25 bomber force, but our crew members and pilots are still very young, they are very inexperienced in long-distance flight and long-range bombing in an unfamiliar environment, and you and your crew are arguably the best in the world in this regard, so I would like to hire you and those of your crew members to train our people. Of course, it's all paid, I wonder what you think? ”

"What? You also have the same B-25 bomber force? ”

Doolittle didn't pay attention to Chu Yuan's words, but looked at Chu Yuan in surprise, "How is this possible?" You must know that the B-25 is the latest bomber in the United States of America that has been in service for less than half a year, and the American troops themselves are not equipped with many of them, how can you have this aircraft? ”

Chu Yuan smiled faintly: "In fact, as early as the beginning of last year, we were equipped with this bomber, but in actual combat, we found that the B-25 can only be called a medium-sized bomber at best, so later we were equipped with another heavy long-range bomber codenamed B-29, that is, the one you saw this afternoon, we used the B-29 when we bombed the Fukuoka of the RB people last year, after all, the B-25 only has a bomb load of 1.3 tons, which is too little." ”

As a proud American, it is natural that my heart is not very happy to hear my opponent criticize his bomber in front of him. So after listening to Chu Yuan's words, Doolittle said a little unhappily: "Since you are so optimistic about the B-25 bomber, then why do you want us to help you train pilots?" ”

As if seeing through the persistence and pride in Doolittle's heart, Chu Yuan explained with a smile: "As the so-called best use of things, the B-25 admits to have the shortcomings of not having a long enough range and a small bomb load. But as a medium-sized bomber it is very good, for example, its comprehensive performance is very good, the attendance rate is high, and it is very strong, when our pilots fly it out to perform missions, they often bring a body of bullet holes when they come back, but even then it can still safely bring those boys back safely, which shows that it is a very good ground support aircraft, which is why we continue to expand the size of the B-25 bomber force. ”

Seeing Chu Yuan who was talking, Doolittle couldn't help but ask: "General Chu, please forgive me, you just said that you were equipped with this B-25 bomber as early as the beginning of last year, but at that time this guy had not yet been mass-produced, where did you get this aircraft?" ”

Chu Yuan smiled: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, this question of yours is beyond the scope of your duties. But what I can tell you is that we have the supply channels, and that's where these B-25s are made. And your government is aware of this problem, so please stop dwelling on these small issues, okay? ”

Hearing Chu Yuan say this, Doolittle closed his mouth a little stupidly, but there were huge waves in his heart. Chu Yuan's words sounded like a mess at first glance, what has a supply channel, at first glance it sounded confusing, but Doolittle then realized that the other party was showing his muscles, your latest bomber has not been developed yet, we will equip it first, what does this mean? This shows that we also have our own scientific research institutions and production plants, and Huaxia is not a scientific and technological desert as you imagine, and the US government knows about these things, but it has not told the officers and soldiers below.

For a while, our Mr. Doolittle couldn't help but open his mind, and he thought of many things at once. I have to say that it is comfortable to talk to smart people, and there are some things that you don't have to say too thoroughly to understand what you mean, and it will automatically help you make up some of the content you didn't say.

Seeing the silent Dulittle, although Chu Yuan's face was still nonchalant, he was secretly a little anxious in his heart. Before he came, Su Jin had already told him about this Dulittle, as the saying goes, there is no first martial arts and no second, and everyone who is a soldier has arrogance in his heart, and Chu Yuan, a major general who relied on a knife and a gun to fight to the commander-in-chief of the Air Force of the Third Army, is even more so. But after he read the information that Su Jin gave him, even if he was proud, he had to say a word.

This Doolittle is not an ordinary person, and an average pilot can already be called a good pilot if he can fly the plane well. But this person can not only drive the plane well, but also build the plane by himself, which is good enough, right? And that's not all, Doolittle was the first pilot in the nation to cross the continental United States in a single day, winning the Schneider Championship, the Bendix Air Race, the Thompson Cup, and not to mention that, he also received a Ph.D. in aeronautical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Even if the above titles are separated, it is a great honor to put on the head of any pilot, but now they are all concentrated on Doolittle, such a talent can already be described as a national treasure, originally the task of bombing RB The U.S. military was reluctant to let a treasure like Doolittle come in person, and in the end it was only approved by the U.S. military at his repeated requests.

Even with Chu Yuan's conceit, he had to express his admiration after reading Doolittle's resume. Such a bull man has come to his own territory, and if he does not take this opportunity to ask him for benefits, even he will scold himself.

Seeing that Doolittle didn't speak for a long time, Chu Yuan said sincerely: "Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, objectively speaking, our request is not excessive, as allies who fight together, isn't it normal to exchange some knowledge with each other?" If you don't even help with that, then I have to wonder if your country really sees us as allies. ”

Doolittle smiled: "General Chu, you don't need to provoke me with words, I was just thinking about how much I should be paid." ”

Chu Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Really? Would you like to teach our pilots about ocean aviation and flying? ”

"Of course, it's not a big deal." Doolittle also smiled: "It's just an exchange of combat experience and some aviation knowledge between the two sides, even in front of the president, I am not afraid to say this, and the lives of me and my pilots were saved by the pilots of your country, and we naturally have to pay it back if we owe you such a big favor." ”

"Great!"

Before Chu Yuan could be happy, he heard Doolittle say again: "But I also have a small request, I hope to see the fighter that saved us today, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

"Absolutely!" Chu Yuan happily agreed......

Three days later, the front page of the New York Times, which has always been known for its seriousness, published photographs of the streets of Tokyo with three deputies on a burning street, with black smoke factories, collapsed barracks and burning ports.

The newspaper reported in detail how sixteen U.S. B-25 bombers, led by Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, bombed RB Tokyo, and quoted George Cartlett Marshall, chief of staff of the U.S. Department of the Army, as the headline, "This is a belated revenge!" ”

As expected by the U.S. government, after the B-25 group led by Doolittle bombed the RB, morale in the United States also rose rapidly. Countless young men poured into the barracks, workers began to work overtime in the factories consciously, people donated money and materials, everything was going in the expected direction, and then Roosevelt cheered up the people on the radio, and took the opportunity to announce the famous four views of freedom:

First, everyone has the freedom to speak and express their meanings, anywhere in the world.

Second, everyone has the freedom to worship God in their own way, anywhere in the world.

Third, everywhere in the world, everyone has freedom from want.

Fourth, everywhere in the world, everyone has freedom from fear.

Under Roosevelt's call and media propaganda, Doolittle and other pilots became household names in the United States in just a few days, and in such an atmosphere, the huge war machine of the United States began to move at an increasing speed.

The impact of this bombing on the United States was great, and the impact on the RB was also far-reaching, and on the third day after Doolittle bombed Tokyo, the alarmed Emperor Hirohito, escorted by his guards, personally came to the Tokyo base camp to hold a military council. (To be continued.) )
