After refusing Lao Jiang's arrangement, Xu Ming was a little apprehensive, if it was in ancient times, this would be disrespectful!

Fortunately, Jiang and Kai-shek did not express dissatisfaction, and Xu Ming hurriedly said another topic.

"Chairman, I have some ideas about my future work."

"Say, speak, just say anything." Lao Jiang was not unhappy that Xu Ming rejected him. According to Xu Ming's actions during this period and the investigation report of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong), Lao Jiang has already decided that this is a relatively pure patriotic young man, who may be a little impulsive, but has his own ideas. Since Xu Ming said that he would donate $12 million this year, his good impression of Xu Ming has now reached a new level. It doesn't matter if you don't serve in the Economic Council, as long as the money is in place!

Xu Ming looked at the shiny bald head in front of him, and said cautiously: "Chairman of the National Committee, I am afraid that the United States will be the one who can provide greater help to China in the future, and I plan to work with the United States." ”

Song Meiling said on the side: "Qianli, you have lived in the United States, and you should know that the current mainstream opinion of the United States is that it does not care about the situation in Asia and Europe, and it is too difficult to get the United States to support China." "Song Meiling has studied and lived in the United States and is very familiar with the United States.

Xu Ming actually knows that isolationism is rife in the United States. But the more this happens, the more we have to try to change. In this world, Britain and France are only using China, Germany and Japan eventually merge, and the Soviet Union has extremely strong territorial claims to China. It is the United States that can barely be believed.

Song Meiling was not optimistic, but Jiang and Kai-shek said: "Xu Ming, just talk about it, if there is any problem, I will arrange it." ”

Xu Ming said: "Chairman, madam, my plan is to first promote Chinese culture in the United States, and Yuming Company has already planned to shoot a batch of films that reflect Chinese classical culture. These films combine the characteristics of Chinese benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith with the American ideas of freedom, independence, democracy and equality. For example, in "Titanic", a Chinese boy falls in love with the beautiful American girl Ruth, and then deduces a heart-wrenching love story, accompanied by a "myheartwillgoon" ......"

To promote China is naturally to demean Japan, and Xu Ming's plan is very insidious, and he does not intend to directly scandalize the Japanese people or Japanese culture. On the contrary, he tried his best to show the character traits of the Japanese who admired violence and despised death, the hierarchical social order, and the fighting culture that was good at strategy and disregarded faith. The background and scenery music are naturally the sinister and treacherous "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

In addition to these two fierce moves, Xu Ming also has a back hand. For those in the United States who sympathize with and like China, Xu Ming is ready to vigorously attract exchanges; He has a bad feeling for China and likes Japan, especially the American ** firefighters, steel dealers, and oil dealers who have close relations with Japan, and Xu Ming put forward a series of attack plans.

"Wouldn't that seem too malicious?" Lao Jiang was stunned by Xu Ming's methods. This is too ruthless, who dares to sell Japanese arms and steel, not only to scold in the newspaper, but also to "dig deeply" into the negative and news of these people, isn't this just a naked slander! Demonstrations were also organized to block strikes. Isn't there a problem with that?

In response to Lao Jiang's doubts, Xu Ming explained in detail the national nature and political characteristics of the United States, moreover, these things cannot be done by Chinese, Xu Ming asked the United States to do it! Anyway, Xu Ming's American employees are very large. As long as these things are kept within the scope of non-violence, combined with the atrocities of the Japanese army and the propaganda that leads to public opinion, it is very likely that they will have miraculous results.

In this way, the famous "Propaganda Plan for the United States" was implemented in a villa in Nanjing. The Japanese did not understand until much later, lamenting: "Since Showa 11 (1936), the attitude of the United States towards the Imperial Kingdom has become worse and worse day by day, the reverse propaganda of the Yuming reactionary clique has been intensified, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has lamented its powerlessness to ...... the work of the United States. ”

Xu Ming's work in the United States is in full swing, and in China, the Liangguang incident is also developing in an incredible direction. On 4 July, a large number of Guangdong air force planes turned against Chen and surrendered to Chiang, and the strength of the Guangdong army was greatly reduced. Seeing that the Guangdong army was unstable, the leader of the Gui faction deployed the Gui army on the periphery and the Guangdong army on the inner line, but Chen Jitang's general Yu Hanmou gave him a fatal blow.

On July 14, Yu Hanmou announced his defection to the central government and issued an ultimatum to Chen Jitang, asking him to leave Guangdong within 24 hours and send troops to take Guangzhou!

On July 15, the remaining air force in Guangdong, under the leadership of Huang Guangrui, all surrendered to Chiang! 、

On July 18, Chen Jitang's most trusted subordinate Chen Hanguang refused Chen Jitang's military transfer!

The shouting and beating of public opinion at home and abroad, the collective betrayal of his generals, and the complete failure of the "opportunity not to be lost" divination. Chen Jitang was already disheartened. In mid-July, he announced that he would leave the field and go to Hong Kong. In this way, Guangdong ended Chen Jitang's rule.

Ironically, both Britain and the United States, as well as Germany and France, condemned Chen Jitang's anti-Japanese and anti-Chiang efforts, and only Japan expressed support for the Liangguang Incident!

The greatest beneficiaries of the successful settlement of the incident were Chiang and Kai-shek, who not only uprooted the Guangdong warlords who opposed him, but also greatly strengthened his prestige and territory in China. Filled with ambition, he set his sights on the northwest.

Xu Ming also gained great popularity, and many people, including Chiang and Kai-shek, also believed that Chen Jitang's rapid failure was inseparable from Xu Ming's actions. Although Xu Ming went to the United States, there is still a lot of praise for him in China.

Across the ocean, Chennault's mood was like a roller coaster. At the beginning of the year, he was informed that he would be retiring as a captain, and that his classmates and colleagues had at least attained the rank of colonel. This made this extremely competitive and extremely passionate about aviation feel extremely lost in the heart of this soldier, and even made him seriously ill for a while.

What's even more hateful is that those "and sons" don't understand the Air Force at all! No one paid attention to his theory of aviation operations, no one responded to his theory of the importance of fighter planes, and the new combat coordination tactics he preached were ridiculed by everyone! Even his character was disliked, and a veteran American general once said to people in public: "As long as I am one day, he (Chennault) will never be promoted!" ”

And everything started to change in July of this year. His good friend, Hobrock, who served as a confidential adviser to the Trust Bureau in China, wrote to him, hoping that he would move the dead and bring them to China for development. A month later, Shi Zhaoji, the Chinese ambassador to the United States, and Xu Ming, president of the Yuming Group, visited him in person, enclosing a letter from Chiang and Kai-shek. He was invited to China as a consultant.

What could be more dreamy? Yes, his military theory, which is not applauded by anyone in the United States, is very much agreed with by distant China. The importance of this young man in front of him to the fighter is much better than the old antiques of the American Army Aviation I don't know. What, China is ready to purchase 100 of the latest P-36!102 Hawk 3, plus China's domestic aircraft, there may be more than 500 aircraft that will carry out his combat doctrine!

"Fuck the US Air Force! Fuck the fighter uselessness! I'm going to China", in the villa on Lake St. John's, Chennault shouted wildly, and at this time, he could hear the cry in his heart! The loss of hearing, overnight, seemed to be completely restored.

In early August, Chennault, accompanied by Shi Zhaoji and Xu Ming, who had returned to China to report on their work, was received by the Chiang family, and when he met Soong Meiling for the first time, he wrote in his diary: "My princess ....... ”

The first thing Chennault did when he came to China was to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the current state of the Chinese Air Force. A month later, the investigation report came out, Song Meiling was trembling with anger when she saw this report, Jiang and Kai-shek smashed a fountain pen into two sections!

The report shows that China has 500 aircraft on its books, but only 91 can be used for combat purposes, which is poorly maintained! Parts are out of tune! The configuration is backward! Many planes are defective, and if they are used in combat, they only harm the precious pilots!

The level of pilots is also uneven, the pilots of Hangzhou Central Aviation School are okay, and the pilots of the Italian instructor in Luoyang only know some basic beginner flight tutorials, and they can't do anything except take off and land! Not to mention air marshalling, air-ground coordination tactics, and complex air combat maneuvers. Once the Sino-Japanese war began, the planes piloted by these people would not become the target of the Japanese army!

The training is not formal! The teaching curriculum is not systematic! The chain of command is out of order! ……

Jiang and Kai-shek were glad for Xu Ming's foresight, if they found out the problem after the Anti-Japanese War, the cucumber dishes would be cold! Chiang and Kai-shek immediately appointed him as the chief adviser of the Chinese Air Force, and was in charge of the teaching curriculum, training arrangements, and even some personnel transfers.

Chennault also put forward his own opinions on the current situation of the Chinese Air Force, recruiting some instructors from the United States, establishing a ground early warning system, and purchasing systematic ground support equipment......

In November 1936, the first batch of P-36 export Hawker 75s arrived, a total of 50 aircraft. Gao Zhihang, Liu Zhesheng, Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin, and others successfully passed Chennault's harsh examination and flew this extremely advanced fighter plane in the world. And a large number of Air Force personnel who went through the back door, or did not study seriously, were mercilessly driven away by Chennault.

Since then, the Chinese Air Force has embarked on a completely different journey of resistance from another time and space. The trajectory of Chennault's life has also changed dramatically!

ps: This chapter is over, this volume is also over, and the second volume "Iron and Blood Journey" officially tells the protagonist's combat career.

Of course, Xu Ming was not very smooth at the beginning, and he himself was also up and down in the torrent of the Anti-Japanese War, but after all, he will shine in this Great Patriotic War.
