Chapter 55 Air Force Intelligence
Qin Wei rejected Song Meiling's proposal almost without thinking about it.
Joke.
On the battlefield during the Anti-Japanese War? How many lives does he have enough to play with? Not to mention the Kuomintang, even the Communist Party, he doesn't do it. Gu Changjun helped him check, and during the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were four or five hundred dead generals of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Among them, on the Kuomintang side, a total of 271 generals were killed, including 19 generals, 81 lieutenant generals, and 171 major generals. On the Communist side, although there is no military rank, it is really well documented that 114 generals were killed in the Eighth Route Army, 43 senior generals were killed in the New Fourth Army, and 42 generals were killed in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army...... Although these data once made him quite suspicious of Gu Changjun. Think this guy is deliberately trying to scare him. But after Gu swore repeatedly, he realized that the so-called Kuomintang that circulated on the Internet in later generations was the mainstay of the Anti-Japanese War, and the Communist Party's argument that it was mainly playing soy sauce was really a bit unreliable. That's right, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang resisted most of the enemies on the frontal battlefield, but I have to admit that the Communist Party also made a lot of contributions in the case of backward equipment and more difficult logistical replenishment, and the casualties were also extremely heavy, far from what he knew before, only killed Zuo Quan, chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, and another commander of the New Fourth Army named Peng Xuefeng. And if the Communist Party only harassed the enemy in a small way, why did the Japanese launch a sweep again and again? People may not be brave enough on the frontal battlefield, but they are not less filled with human lives. Moreover, Qin Wei also knows very well that the difference between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is not just one level in terms of equipment and logistics...... If he was a Communist, he would not be stupid enough to rely on millet plus rifles, and it was a rifle that did not even have enough bullets to carry it head-on with the Japanese. That may be patriotic, but it's silly.
Of course, that's all off topic.
But no matter what, Qin Wei made up his mind: he would never go to the battlefield. If possible, don't even go to the front line. It's best to stay in the big rear all the time. Chongqing will be bombed by the Japanese army in the future, so he doesn't plan to enter the city again before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and he doesn't even want to stay in Shapingba. It's a big deal to go directly to the countryside!
……
"You don't want an administrative position, and you don't want a military position...... But that's all we can come up with. ”
Song Meiling sighed slightly, as if she hadn't seen Qin Wei's performance of "greedy for life and afraid of death" just now...... There's nothing to be curious about at all. Many of the top leaders of the Kuomintang have this virtue, and many of them are even army generals. Compared to those people, Qin Wei is already good, so if he is afraid, he will simply say that he will not do it, at least he will not occupy the pit and not...... No, no, a famous lady, the first lady of the party-state, how can you use such dirty words? Not even what you think in your heart. That's ...... Vegetarian meal in the cadaver position? Well, that's not wrong, but the taste seems to be a little worse.
"Can't you take anything else but that?" Qin Wei smiled bitterly: "Madam, do you know how the two conditions you just mentioned give me a feeling?" ”
"What does it feel?"
"The first feeling: you are selling official beards! The second feeling: You want to pit me, and it's not enough to pit once, I'm going to take a rope and tie it up a few more times......"
"Hehe," Song Meiling smiled, "Mr. Qin is very interesting." ”
"Am I not right?" Qin Wei asked rhetorically.
"At least most of them are wrong." Song Meiling shook her head lightly: "First, sell the official beard." I know that you may think that the government is exchanging official positions for your own benefits, as if you are in an equivalent exchange, but are you not competent? Second, pit you...... We are doing this for the country and for the great cause of the War of Resistance. Although we do intend to use the position given to you to tie you up, this is also to make you better contribute to our troubled China. And then again, even if we don't tie you up, will you, Mr. Qin, just sit aside and watch the play and don't care about anything? ”
"Well, you have a reason anyway." Qin Wei smiled bitterly. He understands language games all too well, and that's what he used to do. What is right or wrong? It's just something that keeps swaying with the speaker's mouth.
"Then what is Mr. Qin's opinion on the conditions I just proposed? Don't worry, although you refused, what I said is still valid......" Song Meiling said again: "Of course, considering that you are unwilling to get involved in political matters and do not want to go to the battlefield, we can also make appropriate adjustments." For example, when it comes to joining the military, you can choose to join the intelligence service, which is your forte, and I can guarantee that whoever is your boss will not hinder your freedom of movement in any way; Alternatively, you can participate in the Air Force ......"
"Air Force?"
"Yes. Air force! My Air Force! ”
Song Meiling replied casually. Suddenly, there was a hint of sadness on her face, and there seemed to be a hint of pride.
"This ...... I've heard about it. ”
Song Meiling's Air Force! Of course, this Qin Wei knew the truth. He also knew a title of the woman in front of him: the mother of the Chinese Air Force! At this time, she was directly appointed as the supreme commander of the Chinese Air Force in the respect of the first lady of the Republic of China, and Zhou Zhirou, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, was only his deputy. He even knew that it was this woman who still ordered the air force officers and soldiers to take to the air to fight despite the huge disparity in the strength of the Chinese and Japanese air forces...... This caused heavy losses to the Chinese Air Force, but several victories also greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the Chinese military and civilians for the war of resistance.
"How about it, would you like to come?" Song Meiling asked again.
"I don't understand the Air Force." Qin Weiluo smiled a little embarrassedly, "But if I were you, I would let Chennault go back to the United States." ”
"For what?" A hint of surprise flashed on Song Meiling's face, but she restrained her emotions very well, "There must be a reason." Colonel Chennault was my right-hand man, and he commanded several battles with great success. For example, the fiasco of the Japanese Air Force on the Emperor's birthday. He commanded that battle, and we shot down 36 Japanese planes, and only 3 escaped. ”
"Chennault should go back to the United States and call in more American air forces to fight for us." Qin Wei smiled, "American cowboys are very adventurous and love money. As long as we are willing to do so, we can get more experienced and more powerful pilots. In addition to this, we need planes from the Americans. ”
"The U.S. government will not agree." Song Meiling was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Qin Wei to actually have this idea, but thinking of the current neutral attitude of the US government, she could only shake her head.
"Just volunteer." Qin Wei smiled, "The U.S. government can't control it." And as long as there is money, Americans will not lack enthusiasm. ”
"But we don't have the money." Song Meiling smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you." ”
"It's going to be soon." Qin Wei shrugged, "Don't tell me that Chairman Jiang didn't tell you about the shipwreck. That amount of money, with just a small amount, is enough to recruit hundreds of experienced pilots, and if you can make a little more determination, you can't get pilots and get a few more planes back. ”
“…… That's a good idea. But it's too simple. Song Meiling had already thoroughly understood Qin Wei's thoughts. She admits that Qin Wei's ideas are at least stronger than many in the Nationalist government. It's a good idea, but it's a little too far from reality. …… In the current situation, it is very likely that the US government will turn a blind eye and close one eye, and it can get another plane...... It's not just about spending money.
"The Japanese are working on a new fighter from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, designer Jiro Horikoshi. The model name of the aircraft has not yet been determined, but according to our intelligence, this new fighter uses Sumitomo Metal's newly developed 50 wind metal, a super aluminum alloy that is harder than steel, making the fuselage light and strong, and can achieve a near-perfect unity of high speed and combat performance...... With China's existing aircraft, if it comes against this fighter, it can almost be said that it is powerless to fight back. At the speed of Japanese research, this fighter can be developed and delivered to the military by the end of 40 years at the latest. Madam, there is only a year and a half left, and by then, we may lose even our existing ability to fight back......"
“…… New aircraft? Song Meiling was shocked, she didn't expect Qin Wei to tell her this, but ...... This intelligence is really important, very important: "Is there any data? ”
"Of course there is data. But it's just on paper for now, and I can give it to you if Madame wants it, but I still hope you'll accept my suggestion...... Under the pretext of getting planes, we can find a powerful airline to design a targeted fighter jet, even if we can't buy a few of them, at least we won't fall to the point where we can't fight back. Qin Wei said.
"Give me the data first, and I'll go back and find someone to study it before asking." Song Meiling said.
"Okay." Qin Wei didn't say anything else, he casually took out a few pieces of paper from the pocket of his clothes and handed them over, "It's not detailed enough, but that's all we can get for the time being." Forgive me! ”
"I've decided!" After receiving the data of the "Zero Fighter", Song Meiling casually glanced at it and put it away, and then she stared at Qin Wei solemnly: "I have decided to suggest to the chairman of the committee that you join the second hall of the Military Command Department!" ”
"Still going to join the army? This ......" Qin Wei smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that taking out the Zero fighter in advance would be this result, but just about to refuse, his heart moved again: "The second hall of the military command department? This department seems to have heard of it...... Do I have acquaintances there? ”
"I do have an acquaintance." Song Meiling smiled slightly, "Zheng Jiemin! ”
"Damn!"
"Why, you don't want to see him so much?" Song Meiling smiled again, and just wanted to persuade Qin Wei to accept her suggestion, but saw an officer who came with her hurriedly walking towards this side. Suddenly, she had a premonition that it was not good. And as she had expected, when the officer came, he saluted her, and then said:
"Ma'am, something is wrong."
"What's the matter?"
"The second lady and the people are fighting." The officer replied with a bitter face.
"Ling Wei?" Song Meiling frowned.
"Who?" This name seems to be quite familiar lately. Thinking about it carefully, Qin Wei was directly shocked.
