"Wow!" When Chen Honglu returned to the large airport in Lanzhou, which had been fully expanded, he and the other pilots let out an exclamation in unison when he saw the neat five rows of planes on it. All of them are assembled and new aircraft.

"Twenty of these newly purchased aircraft are C62 new Gaodelon trainer aircraft, plus the original ones, and now there are 34 usable trainer aircraft in Lanzhou."

"The bombers inspected the planes of several countries, and temporarily purchased 20 Veme bombers, plus the existing ones, and at this time there were 26 new and old bombers available in Lanzhou."

"The fighter only bought 10 Fokker D16 this time, and with the existing ones, there are now 17 fighter jets in Lanzhou that can be put into the battlefield. Considering the need to fight the Japanese army in the future, more parts of the machine parts were prepared. Gao Zhihang looked at the planes parked at the airport, and there was a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes, which was the hope of the re-emergence of the Republic of China Air Force.

"Isn't the purchase amount much higher than this, why did you only buy half of it?" Jiang Li asked in surprise, although the aircraft that appeared in front of him in the Republic of China can definitely be regarded as an air force comparable to Nanjing after the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, and all the old planes in the past have been eliminated, and they are all relatively new types of aircraft in front of them, but for the Japanese army behind, this scale is still not enough.

"In terms of bombers, I was originally going to buy more, but I received news from the United States, saying that a senior engineer of the Martin Company had exposed some fierce news in a drunken bar, which happened to let several international students hear that a new high-speed bomber of the Martin Company is in the testing stage, and it is said that its speed has exceeded that of some existing single-engine fighters, and the range can reach an astonishing 2,000 kilometers at cruising speed. Humble is self-determined. For the time being, only 20 improved Verme bombers were bought, which was enough to cope with the current stage of fighting. ”

"In terms of fighter jets, many European airlines have run lowly, and now the development of aviation technology is very fast, and now the advanced technology may become obsolete in a year or two. The Fokker D16 can still handle Japanese fighters for now, but the Italian side has already tested a new fighter. Fiat Ca30, the second and third prototypes were built one after another. In July this year, it will participate in the international air show competition in Zurich, Switzerland. He has personally tested the first prototype of the Ca30 produced by Fiat, which is superior to the Fokker D16 in terms of speed and handling. According to Fiat, two prototypes will be sent to Lanzhou to let the pilots in Lanzhou feel its handling performance and stability. Soon, this fighter will be mass-produced by the end of the year, so he has taken matters into his own hands and temporarily reduced the number of Fokker D16 purchases. ”

"Hmm. The fighting in Shanghai has stopped, and the focus of the Japanese army is to completely occupy the three eastern provinces, and there will be no major changes for a period of time for the time being. ”

Jiang Li nodded, people who are used to living a hard life will always save money, Gao Zhihang was born poor, and he undoubtedly struggled out of the hard life. Although Jiang Li is willing to spend a lot of money on aviation, it is naturally good to save some unjust money and use it in practice. Jiang Li is a human being, not a god, and he can't cover everything. Gao Zhihang's decision on the spot was correct, in order to avoid the transaction being sabotaged by Japan or obstructed by Nanjing, Gao Zhihang's contact with Lanzhou after going overseas was also very small.

"Hehe, the commander and the senior team are too, such a big purchase plan. The Northeast Air Force is not much stronger than it is in its heyday, and if it is according to the commander's intentions, I am afraid it will overshadow the heyday of the Northeast Air Force. It's a pity that Jiang Xingcheng didn't know the commander's ambition, otherwise he wouldn't have switched to Nanjing. ”

Chen Honglu said with pity next to him, after all, they are classmates who have been together for many years. Comrades-in-arms, fought side by side with the Japanese, although Chen Honglu was also very angry when Jiang Xingcheng threw himself into Nanjing, but after that, he felt sorry in his heart.

"I heard that Jiang Xingcheng didn't have time to take the things he brought to Lanzhou, he won't even dare to ask for things in Nanjing, right?" Jiang Li asked.

"He still has the face to come to Lanzhou?" Zhang Niansco snorted coldly and said, although the salary of these pilots has not increased compared to when they were in the Northeast before, but under the worry of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, there is no doubt that they are more ambitious in the 15th Route Army, and Jiang Li's construction of the Air Force is not comparable to the previous Northeast.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't force them. Whether it is the Fengtian War of Resistance or the Songhu War of Resistance, Jiang Xingcheng has merit and hard work. The 15th Route Army is not so petty, and it can resist Japan as well as Nanjing, as long as he does not go to the Japanese, I can release people if he wants to leave. You find someone to pack up Jiang Xingcheng's things and send him to Nanjing, if someone wants to leave in the future, I won't deliberately embarrass here, everyone originally came together to resist Japan, so that they could get together and disperse. Jiang Li said to Gao Zhihang.

"The commander is open-minded, Jiang Xingcheng's departure from the 15th Route Army is his loss." Hearing Jiang Li's words, Gao Zhihang and the others were in awe.

"You don't have to compliment me, if you want to say you're not happy, there must be some. This is just one example, if I don't take things away in the future, I won't send someone to send it, the 15th Route Army is now short of talents, Jiang Xingcheng is a rare aviation general, and the taste of sending talents out is not comfortable. Jiang Li sighed, waved his hand, and then said with a smile, "Come and don't be rude, the people who dig me in Nanjing, I will also find a way to dig people in Nanjing." In addition, part of the original Northeast Air Force is still under the command of the young marshal, and now it is estimated that the heart is also very angry, and several times the Anti-Japanese War has been missed, you and they are classmates, but also comrades-in-arms, dredge up the relationship, as long as you can pull to Lanzhou, I accept it all. The Republic of China is now short of pilots, rather than letting those people idle, it is better to let them serve in the 15th Route Army and contribute some strength to the future War of Resistance, otherwise it will take too long to train pilots on our own side to be effective. ”

"Don't worry, Commander, we will find a way to bring more colleagues over, presumably those people watched us fly the plane and fight the Japanese in the sky, and I don't know how long I have been jealous." Zhang Niansco and the others laughed again when they heard this, and let Jiang Xingcheng go, it can be seen that Jiang Li is not a mean person, and admitting that he is unwilling to let Jiang Xingcheng go from the bottom of his heart makes these pilots feel that the commander in front of them is a frank person.

"Alright, let's announce a new personnel arrangement!" Jiang Li clapped his palms. These pilots, led by Gao Zhihang, immediately lined up and stood neatly in front of Jiang Li. (To be continued.) )
