Chapter 36**

In June, the Taipei warbler song and swallow dance, a strong business atmosphere filled the streets and alleys. Perhaps because the 1st Pacific Fleet is located in Keelung Military Port, the consumption of military personnel has brought prosperity to Taipei. The most obvious sight is that a large number of young Japanese women come to Taipei to work, especially in the entertainment and service industries. After the war, Japan was still depressed, while Taiwan, driven by the strong economy of the mainland, sprouted vitality everywhere.

At the end of the first phase of the aircraft carrier's aircraft drill, the officers and men were very tired. Dai Hui ordered all pilots, including ground crews and aircraft carrier warship sailors, to take a five-day holiday to recuperate and recuperate for the second phase of training. On the first day of the holiday, Gao Xiang and Zhanfei came to Taipei to relax. A new-type convertible jeep was parked in front of the Taipei Navy Officers' Club, and Gao Xiang, who was sitting in the cab, and Zhan Fei, who was sitting next to him, got out of the car. Military jeeps are an absolute rarity and attract the attention of pedestrians on the streets.

Jeeps have just been installed in the troops, and only a small number of generals can enjoy them at present. The Air Force made an exception as a sedan chair and divided 4 jeeps, so Gao Xiang and Zhanfei were fortunate to enjoy the treatment of driving jeeps. "I heard that the Japanese girls in the Navy Officers' Club are beautiful and charming, we might as well feast our eyes!" "I heard that Japanese girls can drink with them, so we might as well have a meal of flower wine." "If it weren't for strict military discipline, I really wanted to find a Japanese girl for fun!" Fly your heart and feel like a horse. "Don't be cranky, you kid, watch your head." Gao Xiang pouted.

The two were about to enter, when a military passenger truck pulled up in front of the door, and an Air Force pilot jumped out of the truck. The two fell in love, and it was Koji Ono. Koji Ono successfully passed the examination, was drafted, and is currently serving in Takasho's 1st Flying Squadron. This guy is really good. In one month, he was fully qualified for the minimum skills of a pilot, and the level of skill was enviable. "Two Chief Zhang, please stay!" Gao Xiang was surprised: "Do you have something?" ”

Koji Ono bowed slightly and said, "Sir, thank you for your kindness in making me an Imperial pilot." As a token of gratitude, I invited you two to dinner. Today is the day of my salary, and I ask you to agree to it. "Send your silver dollars home, I'm in for a treat today!" Gao Xiang waved his hand. "Sir. I didn't expect that the monthly salary was 20 silver dollars, so I sent home 15 silver dollars. In Japan, 15 quick silver dollars can provide a family of three for two months' living needs, please be sure to let me thank you! ”

The current salary of a pilot is 40 silver dollars per month. Koji Ono was only entitled to 20 silver dollars as a Japanese citizen, but even then he was very content, and he worked as a marine engineer on an aircraft carrier battleship, and his monthly salary was 5 silver dollars. Seeing Koji Ono so sincere. Gao Xiang and Zhanfei are not good at saying anything. Naval Officers' Club. Koji Ono didn't have the right to enter at this level, so they had to find a nice restaurant on the street to have dinner.

When the wine and food were served, Koji Ono humbly persuaded him to drink, but he rarely drank it. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhanfei asked: "Ono, where do you live in Japan, and how many people are in your family?" "Returning to the sir, I am from Nagasaki, Japan, and my home is in a small mountain village. There are grandfathers, grandmothers on it. Father, mother. I am the eldest son in the family and have two younger brothers. Two younger sisters. The eldest brother works as a farmer at home, and the eldest sister also comes out to work. The youngest brother. My sister is going to school! There is only one acre of rice field at home, and life is very difficult. ”

"It seems that you came out to join the Imperial Army to reduce the burden on your family!" "Yes, if you die in battle, your family will receive a handsome pension that can be used to support your younger siblings to complete their studies." The conversation was a bit heavy. Koji Ono continued: "Now the situation at home is much better, if my family knows that I have seen the Imperial Air Force, I can get a salary of 20 quick silver dollars every month, I don't know how happy I am!" Oh, by the way, my sister works as a waitress in the Navy Officers' Club in Taipei, and her salary is 5 silver dollars a month. ”

Zhan Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this: "It is rumored that the hostesses from the Navy Officers' Club are all beautiful and charming, and your sister must be beautiful." "Two chiefs, my sister is really beautiful, if you can take a fancy to my sister, it is an honor to be humble." After Ono Koji finished speaking, he took out a photo, and the two of them took the photo and looked at it, and their eyes widened. Soon, the two entered the officers' club, and were immediately attracted by the many bright figures and beautiful faces, and they were almost dazzled.

The two of them found a seat, asked for a few liters of beer and cold cuts, and began to drink each other, their eyes were searching, and finally they locked their eyes on the No. 22 service eye. I saw that the waiter No. 22 was moderate and slender, his face was flushed, and his big eyes were particularly charming. "I'm in love!" "I'm in love too, what should I do?" Zhanfei does not flinch. "The old rule, admit gambling and admit defeat!" The two immediately guessed the boxing, Gao Xiang lost two punches in a row, and Zhanfei jumped up excitedly. Gao Xiang slammed his fist on the table in annoyance, and his actions caused the surprise of his neighbors.

In the evening, at another tavern, Koji Ono brought Kako Ono to the two of them after work. First of all, Koji Ono introduced his chief, and Kako stared at the two generously. Koji Ono muttered in his sister's ear, and Kako looked at Zhanfei generously and nodded with a smile. "Chief Zhan, my sister agreed." Zhanfei couldn't help but grab Xiangzi's hand, Xiangzi didn't avoid it at all, but let Zhanfei do it. Gao Xiang was jealous when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but twist his head to the side.

Xiangzi belongs to the empathetic type, and when she saw Gao Xiang's expression and actions, she guessed a few points, and it was an honor and a pleasant thing for a Japanese girl to be photographed by an imperial officer, maybe this is the special thing about Japanese girls, love and hate. "Senior Officer, if you like Japanese girls, I can introduce you to them!" Kako Ono pursed her lips and smiled. "Miss Kako, please!" Gao Xiang made no secret of his joy. "Tomorrow at noon at the Naval Officers' Club, you won't be disappointed!" After speaking, Xiangzi bowed slightly.

At noon the next day, Gao Xiang and Zhanfei drove a jeep to the Navy Officers' Club again. Today is Zhan Fei driving, and Gao Xiang is sitting in the co-pilot's seat. The demeanor of the two is obviously different, Zhan Fei is proud, and Gao Xiang's expression is a little decadent, with a little anxiety. Maybe he didn't sleep well last night, and Gao Xiang's eyes were a little dark. The two got out of the car and entered the hall one after the other, and as soon as they sat down in the empty seat, Kako's figure appeared in front of them. "The two chiefs are very punctual," and then Kako dragged a girl behind her.

"Sir, this is Miss Liyuan Edako, she is my classmate, and she has just come from Japan. If the senior officer has no objections, please sit down with Miss Edako! Gao Xiang and Zhanfei's eyes widened at the same time, and Xiangzi stared at Zhanfei without annoyance, but smiled and signaled, and Zhanfei reluctantly left. Liyuan Zhizi's beauty is unique and very foreign, there seem to be traces of mixed race, her skin is also fair, the bridge of her nose is very high, her eye sockets are slightly sunken, and her figure is slightly taller than Xiangzi, her beauty is slightly different from Xiangzi, no wonder Zhanfei is also ape-like.

It took a long time for Gao Xiang to come back to his senses, looking at the straight nose bridge of the branch and a pair of eyes staring at him, Gao Xiang said, "Can you understand what I said?" Zhizi nodded and said softly, "I have studied Chinese!" "Gao Xiang didn't show off those two times, and I don't know what to say below." Sir, Kako tells me, you like Japanese girls, are you happy with me? The branches' eyes looked straight at each other, with a slight naΓ―ve directness. Gao Xiang didn't expect the other party to be so bold and outspoken, and he was not mentally prepared to speak suddenly.

Zhizi was a little disappointed when he saw that Gao Xiang didn't answer, so he stood up and bowed and prepared to leave. At this time, Gao Xiang came to his senses, grabbed the skirt of the branch, and then turned his head and called a club guard over: "I want to go out with this young lady, please give me leave." Gao Xiang didn't wait for the other party to answer, and ran outside with the branch. Zhan Fei, who was doing it at the table in the distance, saw Gao Xiang holding the girl's hand and running out of the city, and he didn't take Xiangzi's hand and ran out of the room. This scene stunned all the officers of the club.

Outside the branch smiled, "You're a man, but the club will fire me for your actions!" "What are you afraid of expellation, from today you are my person!" After Gao Xiang finished speaking, he pulled the branch and boarded the jeep. At this time, Zhanfei dragged Xiangzi out and couldn't help but board the jeep. Gao Xiang didn't squeak, and stepped on the accelerator and the jeep rushed forward. The two lovers visited Taipei for 100 days and visited all the places of interest in Taipei. After dinner in the evening, the two didn't know how to place the two beauties.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Zhanfei offered a plan: "Just open a room in the hotel, and we will bring them back to the base tomorrow, a fait accompli!" "No, Commander Dai is iron-faced and selfless, he won't forgive you and me, it's a fool to destroy your future for the sake of merry and happiness!" "What should I do?" "We have to put them in Taipei, in the long run!" "Brother Gao, I heard you say that you have a cousin who does business in Taipei?" "yes, how did I forget this stubble!"

Through the Taipei Trade Association, Gao Xiang found his cousin's shop in Taipei. The two returned to Keelung Military Port and immediately reported the matter of marrying a Japanese girl to the fleet headquarters. Unexpectedly, the headquarters approved their application for marriage, and the fleet command personally organized a grand wedding for them.
