Chapter 146: Lieutenant General Chief of Staff of the Air Force

Although it was about to be a hot day, I still felt cold in the morning in the mountains of Geyue wearing single clothes. So Qin Wei quickly got back into the bed, planning to sleep back. It's a pity that he had just laid down, and Zhou Tian broke in directly without any permission.

"Want to sleep with you?" Qin Wei barely opened his loose eyes, "Hey, you got up and put on makeup a long time ago?" This eyeshadow is good, it's natural, it's just a little darker......"

"I didn't fall asleep last night."

Zhou Tian replied angrily.

"I didn't fall asleep either." Qin Wei gave a smile and wrapped the quilt around his body again: "It's all 'boom' and 'boom' all night, and I am scared away by any sleepiness." I'm still sleepy. …… You go out first, I'll squint for a moment. ā€

"But there's a guest outside." Zhou Tian said.

"Guest?" Qin Wei looked at the ceiling, "In the early morning, who is so bored to climb the mountain and play?" Traveling? ā€

"Not a terrible person. It's just a little major. ā€

"'Little Major'? What is your title, Captain Zhou? Qin Wei asked with a smile.

"You don't care about that. I just ask you, can you see it? Zhou Tian asked again.

"It's all 'little' majors, so I'll leave him alone. If there is nothing to do, let him go, and if there is something, let him wait. The sky is big, and the sleep is the biggest. Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't let people not sleep. Qin Wei turned over and directly covered his head with the quilt.

"But she was sent from the Huangshan Villa." Zhou Tian patted the quilt and added.

"Huangshan Villa?" Qin Wei's head slowly stretched out again, "What's the matter?" ā€

"I don't know what to do." Zhou Tian shook his head, then added with a smile: "I just gave you a gift." ā€

"Gifts? Are you kidding? The Japanese bombed all night, didn't he hurry to organize disaster relief and give me gifts? Qin Wei was so angry that he put the quilt on his head again. You blow people away for me! Send me the gift back too! Let's just say that I caught a cold last night, and now it's burning in a mess, and I don't know anything. ā€

"Are you sure?" Zhou Tian looked at the quilt wrapped in a ball with a smile and asked.

"Sure."

"That's a lieutenant general's uniform......"

"What's that? ā€¦ā€¦ā€

Qin Wei suddenly lifted the quilt.

******************************

"Lieutenant General?"

With Zhou Tian's help, he slipped into the obviously newly made military uniform, and Qin Wei suddenly felt that he had not crossed in vain this time. Generals, although they are nothing compared to those predecessors, who are generals, marshals, heads of state, etc., but this is finally a solid first step. Besides, he's not as good as those seniors who are above the top, and he's no worse than those brothers who have been mixing in the guerrillas, right? Not to mention being a man. Who hasn't dreamed of being a general?

Patting the military uniform and touching the stars on the shoulders really looks like a dream. When I woke up, I became a general.

"I'm the general?"

His chest was held high, and he felt the feeling of the belt being tied into his waist. It's really unusual. Qin Wei stupidly took two postures and walked in a straight stride, and then asked the female "little major" in front of him who had just surprised him.

"Yes. Chief Qin. Li Ruqiu saluted Qin Wei with a military salute. Chairman Chiang personally ordered the award of your military rank. From now on, you are a full-fledged soldier and a lieutenant general! ā€

"Hehe, your chairman still understands me." Qin Wei was still smirking, but his hands began to grope up and down his body: "Look at you who have come all the way here, I, I am not prepared at this time...... Xiao Tian'er. Hurry up and prepare something, I want to thank this Major Li. ā€

"Chief Qin, I don't accept gifts." Li Ruqiu couldn't help but smile, "And." You should call 'Chairman' instead of 'Chairman'!" ā€

"No, no, no, it's 'your chairman'," Qin Wei corrected: "This is the principle!" ā€

"But you are now a full-fledged soldier...... Li Ruqiu was a little stunned, "The chairman is the supreme leader of our Chinese soldiers, as a soldier, aren't you under his command?" ā€

"Of course under his command, that's the principle." Qin Wei's waist straightened up: "But this doesn't mean that I will change my name." ā€

"Chief Qin......"

"Captain Li," Zhou Tian quickly interrupted Li Ruqiu, "Chief Qin is not the same as others. The chairman and his wife are all knowledgeable. ā€

"That's ......" Li Ruqiu hesitated, "Since that's the case, then I don't care." However, Chief Qin, at one o'clock this afternoon, please be sure to rush to the Air Force Headquarters to attend the meeting. ā€

"Air Force Command?" Qin Wei was groping for his military uniform, looking for the advantages and disadvantages at the same time, and was stunned when he heard this: "Still attending the meeting?" This is an order from Chairman Chiang? ā€

"No," Li Rugang saluted again, "It's Madame Chiang." ā€

"Madame Chiang?"

"Last night, the Japanese army carried out a large-scale bombardment of the entire city of Chongqing. As of around 7 a.m. this morning, the death toll of Chongqing residents had reached more than 1,000. Furious, Madame decided to summon the Air Force officers to discuss the current situation...... in order to change the current situation. Li Ruqiu said.

"What did you tell me to do?" Qin Wei asked again.

"I don't know what to do. However, you are now the deputy chief of staff of the Air Force, and I am afraid it is not appropriate not to go. Li Ruqiu said with a smile.

"Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air Force? I—I'm not a senior staff member of the Air Force? Qin Wei asked, pointing to his nose.

"That was before. From now on, you are the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air Force of the Republic of China, with the rank of Lieutenant General. Li Ruqiu said.

"What about you? What rank are you? ā€

"I am Li Ruqiu, captain of the first squadron of the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Guard Brigade, with the rank of major."

"Air Force Commander-in-Chief Guard Brigade?"

What is this compilation? Qin Wei looked at Zhou Tian with a hesitant face. And Zhou Tian has long been prepared for his "ignorance", and the answer has been prepared for a long time:

"Captain Li is a guard directly under Madame."

"I see."

Song Meiling's personal guards. No wonder the captain is a. Qin Wei finally understood why Chiang Kai-shek would send a woman to give him a military uniform...... It is estimated that the old bald head didn't take himself as a lieutenant general seriously, I'm afraid he didn't even have a formal establishment, at most he was a "laborer", maybe just a "temporary worker". But then again, Lao Jiang fooled him with the rank of lieutenant general. Even the post of chief of staff is deputy, and it is also the smallest number of air forces, so how can he take this so-called "lieutenant general" seriously? It's just a name, just for fun.

"Chief Qin, I still have a task, so I'll leave first. Please be sure to be on time for this afternoon's meeting. ā€

Li Ruqiu saluted Qin Wei again, and then without waiting for his reaction, he turned around and left.

……

"Do you think I'm going to go to this afternoon's meeting?"

After Zhou Tian sent Li Ruqiu away, he was called to his bedroom by Qin Wei...... This guy had already taken off his military uniform and got back into the bed. The two eyes looked at Zhou Tian even more "fiercely". The significance is self-explanatory.

"It's up to you whether you go or not. But if I were you, I wouldn't have made Madam Jiang wait for a long ......time," Zhou Tian smiled, as if he hadn't seen the hint in Qin Wei's eyes. She still couldn't figure out what this guy was trying to do to her...... If that really meant it, why wait until now? This guy doesn't seem to be a "shy" person.

"Eh," Qin Wei rested his head on his arm. "I want to go too. Look at how those air forces are mixed up and make the Japanese arrogant like this. But I'm worried......"

"Worried about what?"

"I'm worried that Mrs. Jiang has taken a fancy to the ticket I just got from the Kong family...... You said she would ask me to pay for her to buy a plane. How should I answer? ā€

"Promise her!" Zhou Tian didn't think about it, and gave the answer directly.

"For what?" Qin Wei asked.

"Because that's Mrs. Chiang. It is better to offend the chairman, not to offend the chairman's wife. This is the dogma of the party-state. Zhou Tian said with a smile.

"If this doctrine is broken by anyone, your life will not be over." Qin Wei covered his mouth and yawned: "I'll make up for sleep first, you go and ask Mao Wanli to prepare a car for me......"

***************************************

"Why did you call Qin Wei too? Although that guy has always been in the name of a senior staff member, he has never interfered in the affairs of the Air Force. Does he understand? ā€

Air Force Command.

Air Force Commander-in-Chief Zhou Zhirou was chatting with his chief of staff, Wang Shuming. The two of them didn't sleep all night last night, not because they didn't want to sleep, but because the Japanese bombing came too suddenly, and they didn't get any information in advance. In a hurry, he and Wang Shuming were very worried that something would happen. And the fact is indeed as they expected, the Japanese army concentrated a large number of fighters and bombers, and bombed the whole city of Chongqing. Although the air force officers and men tried their best to stop it, they were entangled by the Japanese fighters. Moreover, the Air Force had few fighters, and although there were new fighters aided by the Soviet Union, they were not yet able to use them skillfully, and the battle was lost. Overnight, four aircraft and three pilots were lost.

But that's not the worst of all. The worst thing was that Japanese planes bombed most of Chongqing's urban areas, killing and wounding residents in the city. This caused great anger in Madame Chiang.

"Whether he understands it or not, we have to provide for him. That's all over the world. And when Madame called him, she must have had her own ideas. Zhou Zhirou sighed. The territory of the Air Force is already small, he was originally a layman, and there was a Song Meiling on it, and now there is another Qin Wei who seems to have some routines...... How will you mix it up in the future?

"I heard that Zheng Haicheng has been promoting Qin Wei's good son among the pilots in the past few days...... said that he was a man of his word, and his magical powers were vast, and he was almost lifted to heaven. Coupled with his relationship with the chairman and his wife, if he comes to take over our air force......"

Wang Shuming didn't say any more, he didn't mean to say something, the key was that he couldn't help but think about it. You must know that Zhou Zhirou was suddenly appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Air Force by a layman. And Zhou's predecessor Mao Bangchu, who was Chiang Kai-shek's nephew of Mao Fumei, made great contributions to the construction and development of the Republic of China Air Force, and finally got to the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force, and saw that he was about to become the first person in the Chinese Air Force, but he was suddenly thrown out of the Air Force...... Who knows if history will repeat itself this time? (To be continued......)
