Chapter 2 Air Force (II)

A group of cowboys were thrown onto trucks and transported to a base outside the city. Considering the living habits of Americans, there is a temporary small bar there, and there are some international escorts recruited by Victor from Shanghai. Victor is becoming more and more like a bastard, and he has brought in fifteen women from all over the world, all in their twenties. It is said that it was an Italian friend of his, a woman from Europe who did not know about those countries.

When the Yankees left, Fang Jianxiong walked up to a dozen Chinese young men and said with a smile: "Everyone, get to know me, I, Fang Jianxiong." At the moment, you are faced with two choices, the first is to join the Wehrmacht Air Corps, and from then on become a soldier who encircles the blue sky of the motherland. The second is to take a sum of money and leave, and fall in love with whichever you want. ”

More than a dozen people didn't move, and each one looked nervous. Fang Jianxiong felt good about himself, and if he felt very sensational, it seemed to have no effect. Aren't these people hot-blooded young people? Or have you been in the United States, it's not easy to fool?

When he was secretly entangled, a young man walked out, stood in front of Fang Jianxiong, snapped upright, and raised his hand to salute. His eyes lit up: "Report to your lordship, in Xia Fenghua, the word Shenzhou, originally from Guangdong." Willing to join the Wehrmacht Air Corps, please instruct! ”

"Welcome aboard!" Fang Jianxiong reacted, not that it was not easy to fool, but that they were not mentally prepared just now and did not react. Zhengse's return salute, a very chic raise of his hand, and replied loudly.

"Report sir, down ......." There were thirteen people in total, all of whom were overseas Chinese, all of whom were flying enthusiasts, and all of them were willing to join the Wehrmacht Air Corps.

Another truck carrying the pilots out of the city, in a base not far from the city, after filling out the form of voluntary application to join the Wehrmacht, Feng Hua received two sets of military uniforms, an envelope, and a number plate. And a pair of leather shoes. With these things in hand, under the guidance of the receiving officer, I came to the dormitory.

The house was obviously newly built, and after finding his own bed, he found that there were basins and other living utensils under the bed, and Feng Ru smiled with satisfaction. This place is not bad, and that Commander Fang looks very good. Open the envelope, and inside is a hundred-dollar bill. Negative with a piece of stationery. There was a passage written on it. "Welcome to the Wehrmacht, this hundred dollars is your settling-in allowance, which you can mail to your family. If you don't know anything, there is a guide to camp life on the left turn notice board. Have a nice day and thank you for the great sacrifice you have made for the aviation of your homeland! ”

This last sentence is probably only understood by pilots. Flying nowadays is basically the work of strapping your head to the waistband of your trousers. Curtiss was the most advanced aircraft in the United States in this era, but no one could guarantee when the plane would fall.

Go out and turn left and find the bulletin board. There is a sign on the side that reads about the camp. Black on white, in Chinese and English. There is also a map of the living quarters on the side.

After reading dozens of rules, I roughly understand what to pay attention to here. Follow the prompts. Take your clothes and go to the bathroom to take a bath, the bathroom here takes care of the living habits of foreigners, there are showers and baths. As soon as I washed the dust, I came out and changed into a clean military uniform, and stood in front of the mirror. What a heroic officer.

Feng Hua was very satisfied with his current appearance, and snapped a military salute in front of the mirror. When I returned to the dormitory, I unexpectedly saw a back in it, and checked every bed. When this back figure got up and turned back, Feng Hua was startled.

"My lord! Salute! Feng Hua reacted instinctively, there were four people in one room, and he was the first to come back.

"Don't take a bite of an adult, this is the name of the Manchus. If you want, call me a commander, or you can call me a commander. Fang Jianxiong waved his hand very casually, knowing the importance of the air force in the future, when the country was still weak, it was worth seizing this small prophetic advantage to give full play. Of course, the current plane is still too scummy. It's okay to investigate or something, this time Fisher reached a cooperation agreement with Curtis, and Fisher invested $200,000 to buy 40% of Curtis's shares. In fact, this price seems to be a bit high, and Fisher bought the shares in line with the superstition of the other party's Jianxiong.

The key to the aircraft is the engine, and Fang Jianxiong still has this common sense. So this time, Fisher got two technicians in this area, as well as related machine qì equipment, ready to try to produce engines in China and do some primitive accumulation. The engine with greater horsepower is still developed in the United States, and this condition is not available here for the time being, so let's take it step by step. Strive to form the initial ability of independent production and research and development within two or three years.

Fang Jianxiong thought a little far, Feng Hua was a little nervous and didn't know where to put his hand before he came back to his senses, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted." I'll go to the cafeteria and have a look! You continue. ”

"Dashuai, can I join you?" Feng Hua didn't know where he got the courage, so he said. Fang Jianxiong smiled at him and said, "Keep up." The two walked in the living area, talking while walking, Feng Hua roughly talked about his experience, overseas Chinese in San Francisco, like to fly, influenced by his cousin Feng Ru. Feng Ru's name, Fang Jianxiong didn't think of it. I felt a little familiar, but I didn't care too much, and when I heard Feng Hua say that Feng Ru designed the plane by himself, Fang Jianxiong stopped and turned around and said, "Your cousin, can you invite Wuchang?" ”

"He's in Guangzhou, I'll try it by telegraph."

"Well, sue him, come to me, I will pay for the cost of designing and manufacturing airplanes."

After taking a turn in the living area, Fang Jianxiong expressed his satisfaction with Yi Qiē before leaving. But when he left, he was followed by a group of overseas Chinese boys. Unconsciously, Fang Dashuai's easy-going won their love.

Leaving the camp, Fang Jianxiong went to the airport and saw a plane that had just been unloaded, and the two Yankees were working tirelessly to assemble it, of course, for the sake of overtime pay.

This is a biplane, and it looks weird, which completely subverts Fang Jianxiong's impression of the aircraft. Well, that's probably just a flying machine. It is said that the engine has 60 horsepower, and the price is actually 6,000 US dollars per unit, which is really not an ordinary cheat. I hope this thing can train a group of pilots.

Looking at the plane, Fang Jianxiong left a little disappointed, expecting this thing to drop bombs and torpedoes or something now, it was not even a matter of even thinking about it. The only way to ask the United States is to get a good grasp of developing better aircraft, and it is a big deal to increase investment.

Disappointment or not, the first step is to get out. Fang Jianxiong thought about it a little bit of expectation, and threw a large amount of money into it, so he would plant a seed.

The day after the flight team arrived, the boys had different reactions when they were woken up by the wake-up call after a night's rest. It can be said that the overseas Chinese appeared relatively neatly, and there were few people on the Yankee side. Dressed in military uniform, Fang Jianxiong, who appeared on horseback, had a gloomy face, silently watching the Yankees yawn one by one. Some of them are still complaining about something.

The role of the dead man's face is obvious, the Yankees also have to eat, and when they see the boss unhappy, they also have to worry about their jobs. Dozens of foreign devils quickened their pace and returned to their respective teams, although the queue was like a messy flock of sheep, and it could not be expected too high at the moment.

Fang Jianxiong urged the war horse, came to everyone, and did not get off the horse, changing the smile on his face yesterday, with the face of the king of Hades, his eyes were sharp, and he looked over one by one, and these foreign devils who saw it lowered their heads, and then slowly spoke.

"Some people say I'm a warlord, and you still have a chance to leave. If you choose to stay, you will be officers under my warlord from now on. A soldier must look like a soldier and be bound by military discipline. My military discipline, everyone who chooses to stay will receive the original military manual, and whoever violates any of them will be severely punished. Now I'm going to give you five minutes to decide, go, or stay. ”

Saying that, Fang Jianxiong looked down at his watch, a group of foreigners immediately began to whisper, time passed quickly, Fang Jianxiong raised his head: "The time is up, now you can make the final choice." ”

Fisher agreed with the Yankee that the minimum salary would be eighty dollars a month. This salary is enough for these Yankees to travel thousands of miles across the ocean, and it is also enough for them to choose to stay, isn't it just to be a soldier? You don't have to go to the battlefield with a gun anyway. Pilots in this era are often hobbyists, and there are also some guys who like excitement.

At a glance, no one chose to leave. Fang Jianxiong smiled with satisfaction, turned over and dismounted.

"Well, I see that everybody hasn't left. In fact, I have always believed that you are all warriors with a blue sky in your heart, and since you are warriors, every warrior who chooses to stay, regardless of color or nationality, will have the rank of captain of the Wehrmacht from today onwards. The monthly salary is 80 US dollars, and the subsidy is 5 US dollars for one flight. ”

I didn't expect that there was still money to take, these Yankees were even happier, and the previous tension was lost to the sky, and the excited even whistled. One of the guys who looked very obscene, Fang Jianxiong raised his hand and pointed, "You, what's your name?" ”

"Sherman!" This guy was lazy, Fang Jianxiong stepped forward and only leaned close to his ear and shouted: "You bastard, have you forgotten that you are a soldier now?" Stand and salute before you speak to your commander, and then open your foul mouth. Remember, first of all, report to the chief, remember that you are a first-time offender, I will not punish you, and next time, I will kick you in the ass. ”

"It's sir! No, report sir, I see. Sherman, who was tall and tall, saluted and replied loudly.

Only then did Fang Jianxiong take two steps back and shouted at everyone: "From now on, you are all officers." Wait to get your military ID and get your equipment. Next, I took three days off, and after three days, I stood here like a soldier. ”

Fang Jianxiong finished roaring, turned around and got on his horse and left. Everyone was frightened by the scene just now, and this smiling chief turned out to have a hideous side. When Fang Jianxiong walked away, someone suddenly shouted: "Oh, three days off, I still have fifty dollars to use, I want to go to Rhodia and her sisters, who is with me." ”

Suddenly the scene was a mess! (To be continued)
