Chapter 349: Buying a plane
Chapter 349: Buying a plane
In a high-class ward of St. John's Hospital in Nanjing, a large group of generals with golden glitter on their collars and shoulders were gathered in front of a sick man. All the troops in Nanjing City, except for the military commanders who want to stay behind and can't leave, are all here at this moment.
Everyone looked at Su Tong who was wrapped like a mummy, and Su Tong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and the current image of Guy Su Tong was too joyful. The thick bandage wrapped him around and made him fat, and the straps were very professional, and if he didn't look elsewhere, he looked like a dying patient, but after seeing his face, everyone couldn't see that this person was dying at all.
But this Su Da Chief, who didn't even do a good job, was lying on his sick chuáng and was assigning tasks to a group of generals.
"Commander Song, can your 78th Army still withstand it now, I heard that your casualties are large, if not, I will let the 41st Division take over your position, and you will withdraw to Nanjing first to rest and recuperate. What do you think? Su Tong looked at Song Xilian with concern on his face.
"Chief Xie cares, the officers and soldiers of the Seventy-Eighth Army have long made up their minds, if Japan does not withdraw its troops this time, we will continue to fight with the devils. They have grenades, we have Tianling Gai, and they are not afraid of him. Song Xilian did not agree, but answered quickly.
"Good!" Su Tong nodded with satisfaction: "General Song is worthy of being a model for our army!" "You have to keep a good eye on Lion Rock, and you must not make any mistakes.
"And Commander Yu of the 74th Army, there is nothing wrong with you there!"
"Report to Chief Su, there is no problem, the lowly general will listen to the order and fight bravely to kill the enemy" Seeing Su Tong asking himself, Yu Jishi, who eats people and has a soft mouth and short hands, hurriedly replied,
"Chief Su, listen to the radio!" Deputy Commander Luo Zhuoying suddenly shouted.
At this time, a sweet voice came from the radio: "Hello listeners and friends! This is Chahar Radio, I'm your old friend Yang Siyu, and now it's news broadcast time, so I'm going to broadcast an urgent news. Since the assassination of General Su Tong, commander of our Chahar Theater Command, while giving a speech at Jinling University, the bombing brigade of our Chahar Seventh Theater was filled with righteous indignation and under the leadership of Lieutenant General Gao Zhihang, director of our Air Force, it made a long-distance raid on Tokyo, the capital of Japan, effectively striking a blow at the arrogance of the Japanese militarists and greatly boosting the morale of our army and people."
"Bomb Tokyo!" This news was like a loud thunder that made everyone scorched and tender, and everyone realized that it turned out that Chief Su was hiding here to 'recuperate' in the past few days, and it turned out to be for this one. As for what, because Gao Zhihang bombed Tokyo in righteous indignation because Su Tong was assassinated, this trick of coaxing a three-year-old child is still provincial.
The ward was quiet for a while, and everyone looked at Su Tong with a strange look. In fact, after everyone came today, no matter how stupid people are, they all know what the bandages on Su Tong's Su Tong are, who saw a patient who was shot three times in a row and was dying, and only after a few days lay on the sick chuáng with a ruddy face and gave orders, sir, please be dedicated to acting, okay, when we are all fools?
Su Tong didn't care after seeing everyone's eyes, there was no need to act anymore today, what he needed to do had been done, and there was no need to hide these generals in Nanjing City anymore.
"Okay, I know everyone's intentions, now everyone is scattered, after going back, you must be vigilant against the crazy counterattack of the Japanese army, you must know that the dog will jump the wall if he is in a hurry." In the end, Su Tong came to a big summary and sent everyone away.
When everyone was a little depressed and digesting today's amazing news, Su Tong was already thinking about how to expand the benefits of this bombing of Tokyo to the maximum.
At 3 o'clock in the morning last night, Gao Zhihang had already led a group of bombers, except for two seriously injured planes that crashed in the middle of the way, and the remaining 106 planes had returned safely to Vladivostok.
After returning to Vladivostok, there was a voice within the air force that the slogan of continuing this bombing and bombing Japan back to the Stone Age was born. But he was immediately resolutely vetoed by Su Tong, and Su Tong is not so dizzy that he thinks that the current Chahar can be the United States in World War II in the future.
In World War II, the United States defeated Japan's Combined Fleet, occupied various islands around Japan, and surrounded the Japanese mainland with absolute land, sea and air superiority before carrying out continuous large-scale bombing. Even so, the losses of the Americans were not very good, and at least hundreds of bombers were destroyed by Japanese fighters and anti-aircraft artillery in the process of bombing.
The loss of continuous bombing even hurt the deep-pocketed Yankees, and finally had to put two atomic bombs to solve the problem, does the current Chahar have the same background as the Americans? No! Is there such a huge navy as the Americans? Nor did it! Is there that huge flight-trained pilot of the Americans? Not even more. Therefore, accepting it when you see it is the best choice for Su Tong now.
Otherwise, even if the bombing can be successful in front of the prepared Japanese planes and anti-aircraft artillery, it will definitely be a heavy loss, this kind of loss-making business is something Su Tong has always been unwilling to do, and this time is no exception.
Su Tong quickly sent a telegram to Chahar, ordering Gao Zhihang to restrain the pilots and do their ideological work, the air force will never allow anyone to attack without its own orders, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!
The bombing of Tokyo, Japan, quickly made headlines in the European media in the era of radio ownership. In the newspapers, countries have seen all kinds of photos provided by Japanese officials, one house after another has been blown up, and hundreds of thousands of civilians have been left homeless.
This bombing made the world realize that the Chinese people could also have such a powerful air power, he could raze a city to the ground in an instant, leaving countless civilians homeless, and this powerful power is now in the hands of a country that everyone has always considered poor, backward, and barbaric. This is starting to make some politicians a little uneasy.
Chancellery Berlin, Germany
Hitler was discussing the expansion of the army with his generals, and Hitler suddenly changed the topic and said: "Generals, I heard that our Xiǎo friend has been very active recently, he has burned half of Tokyo, Japan, and our ambassador to Japan, Ambassador Maast, sent me a telegram yesterday, tsk, Tokyo has been burned down very badly!" ”
"Hehehe" Hitler's words made the generals present laugh, and the commander-in-chief of the army, General Brauchitsch, said with a smile: "My Führer, it seems that those Japanese yellow-skinned monkeys don't have to be afraid of the cold this winter!" ”
"Hahaha" General Brauchitsch's words made everyone laugh, the plight of the Japanese did not arouse their sympathy in the slightest, they lacked even the slightest favor for this obscene and cruel country and nation, so they only regarded the misery of the Japanese as a joke.
After the generals had laughed enough, Hitler knocked on the table, "Generals, it's none of our business if the Japanese house is gone, but we have to pay attention to the new fighter in Chahar." Don't you notice that we're lacking in long-range air power right now? ”
It has to be said that, putting aside the fallacies of justice and some races, Hitler was still very far-sighted militarily, and he immediately realized from the bombing of Tokyo that Germany still lacked long-range air power.
"Yes, my Führer, we think that now we must negotiate with Chahar and get the information on this long-range bomber, which the Empire will also need in the future war!"
As soon as he heard that Hitler was going to add new planes to the Air Force, Goering suddenly became energetic. The air marshal, who clamored that everything that could fly in Germany was under his control, had never had too many opportunities to strengthen himself.
Guderian, the commander of the armored forces on the side, asked, "My Führer, but what are we going to exchange for them?" You know, this Xiǎo friend of ours is not a lord who is willing to suffer? And now the countries of the world are talking about the cruelty of this kind of aircraft, if we buy it now, I'm afraid" Speaking of which, Guderian's concern is already obvious, that is, now is not a good time to buy such an aircraft.
Hitler smiled: "Everything in this world has a price, as long as we can afford a price that they are satisfied with." As for the question of cruelty, I have always believed that it is the most cruel weapon, and if it can be used to achieve early victory, then it is still true to the principle of humanity. ”
Seeing that Hitler insisted on his opinion, Guderian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, but I suggest that we send Colonel Hans of our staff to get in touch with our Xiǎo friends, after all, they are old acquaintances." ”
At this time, Colonel Hans, who was taking minutes of the meeting, could not help but look at Guderian with some consternation, apparently not knowing why he called his name.
"Okay!" Hitler also nodded and agreed, "Colonel Hans, please take a trip to this matter, as long as it is not too outrageous, you can agree!" ”
At this time, Su Tong didn't know that someone had already paid attention to his bomber, and he was now busy dealing with reporters from all directions.
As soon as these well-informed reporters heard that Su Tong's condition had improved, they immediately surrounded the hospital and clamored to interview Su Tong. So I agreed to the reporters' request for an interview.
