Chapter 209: Air Force Recruitment

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Weidong also proposed to Zhou Gong to send Mao Zemin to the United States to serve as the general manager of Zhongfu International, because according to his long-term observation, Mao Zemin's economic genius is more manifested in business and trade, and although he has good results in managing the local economy, he can still give full play to his talents in business. Moreover, Li Yi knows that just the development projects he has set for Zhongfu International can bring unimaginable huge profits, and using this as capital, properly operated by Mao Zemin, a business genius, is enough to earn at least $1 billion in a short period of time, and can also use the superior industrial base and scientific research conditions of the United States to develop a large number of important achievements that are not yet able to be developed in China for the time being. In this process, the Americans may make some stumbling blocks, but the scale of the early stage is not large, the importance of the Americans is average, temporarily relying on the big tree of Ford to pass over, after the start of the war between Japan and the United States, it is too late for the Americans to marry China, even if they are unwilling, they can only endure it, and then the loosening of the shackles of Zhongfu International will surely soar into the sky! With the feedback of Zhongfu International, the domestic economic construction and scientific and technological development will naturally benefit a lot.

Hu Weidong did not propose this to the great man when he was in China, firstly, he had not thought about it at that time, and secondly, because of the habit that Taizu had always had, he would definitely refuse it out of the consideration of avoiding suspicion and demonstration. Now that Zhou Gong is directly sending Mao Zemin abroad to the United States, Taizu has no choice but to oppose it, after all, Zhou Gong, as Mao Zemin's direct superior, is fully qualified to cut first and then play.

Before Mao Zemin left. Hu Weidong also wrote and handed over to Mao Zemin some money-making projects that he had missed when he went abroad, such as containers. And pointed out that Zhongfu International should focus on absorbing talents in the two aspects of engines and materials, and even exceed the needs of existing projects and raise some in vain, because these two types of science and technology can only be progressed step by step and cannot be achieved quickly, and laying the foundation as soon as possible can save a lot of time in the future.

Hu Weidong has long known that the so-called air force of the Soviet Union to support the Red Party's resistance against Japan is purely perfunctory, and everyone understands how huge the gap exists between aviation school students and active pilots, but as a traverser, Hu Weidong is familiar with the names and experiences of those ace pilots of the Soviet Army in World War II, and most of these awesome guys are still only aviation school students or even amateur pilots. If they can be poached back, they may be a little worse than the pilots in active service in the Soviet Union, but the growth potential is far above them

In order to increase the enthusiasm of students and amateur pilots of the Soviet aviation school to sign up for the air force to aid China. Hu Weidong struggled to persuade Stalin to agree that as long as he joined the air force, the political issues of the pilots and their families would be given a chance to be re-examined, which would undoubtedly have a huge appeal that money would not necessarily match in the face of the intensification of the Great Purge.

After the news spread, the number of applicants for the air force suddenly increased many times, and the number of people registered at the registration office that only planned to recruit 200 pilots and 100 crew members in Jihua exceeded 5,000, and after learning that there were more than 100,000 amateur pilots in the Soviet Union, even Zhou Gong, who had always "collapsed in front of Mount Tai and did not change color," could not help but be deeply shocked. "Maybe that's the real gap between China and Shijie powers"

In order to identify the quality of the applicants, Hu Weidong borrowed 12 training planes from the Soviet side, which had been tested and confirmed to be of reliable quality, for their performance, and in order to put an end to the luck mentality of some people, he made it clear that once a flight accident occurs, all the responsibilities should be borne by themselves; more than 1,000 people soon withdrew their applications, and later there were fewer of them, and although there were still quite a few more than 3,000 applicants, after all, a lot of time was saved

Hu Weidong personally browsed the basic information of the applicants one by one, and almost his eyes were spent. Afraid of missing a big bull, and when he saw "Alexander. He. Pokryshkin", he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "as long as you bring him to China, it doesn't matter if all the other trump cards are missed"...,

Alexander. He. Pokryshkin. The second-ranked ace pilot of the Soviet Army during World War II in history, but it was he who really made him famous in history. However, it was he who put forward the tactics of 8-plane formation and the theory of "altitude, speed, maneuverability, and firepower", and he was also hailed as the "father of Soviet air combat tactics". Everyone in the world knows that handsome talents are more rare than generals, and the Air Force is rare to see even generals due to its particularity. He. How important is Pokryshkin's handsome talent, and it is no wonder that Hu Weidong will give him such a high evaluation

In addition to this future air force commander, the third-ranked ace of Soviet pilots in World War II, Grigory. Andreevich. Refchkalov and dozens of future aces (Note 1) whose names Hu Weidong remembered (shot down more than 20 enemy planes) signed up, much to Hu Weidong's delight, while the others did not know the truth and thought that he was overjoyed by the high standards shown by the pilots.

And at this time,A petite and cute local Lori was wandering repeatedly not far from the registration point.,All she thought was "Join the air team.,Dad will be released.,And my mother can't control the plane", but because of the girl's shyness, she didn't dare to step forward.,It's been like this for several days.

But her wandering attracted Hu Weidong's attention, and I have to admit that the young Mao Mei is still very tempting, even Hu Weidong, who thinks he is not Lolita, laughed loudly and rarely, "Little sister over there, come over if you want to sign up, you don't even have the courage to do this, what kind of plane do you fly?" ”

In the face of the uproar of countless people, the girl with a blushing face was aroused to have courage, and came over to sign up with a pout, muttering, "Obviously I'm not that old"

Hu Weidong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and deliberately walked over and scared with a straight face, "Look at the big deal now."

Due to the problem of nutrition, although there are many big people in the Soviet Union today, the average height is not much taller than that of China, and the size of this girl is even more petite, after Hu Weidong is more than 1.8 meters tall and straightened up, the girl's nose can only reach his chest, and Hu Weidong's murderous aura and majesty tempered by the war and killing in recent years make the girl feel great pressure. But after hearing the Soviet officer at the recruiting point say that Hu Weidong had eliminated hundreds of thousands of enemies despite his young age, this stubborn girl still said stubbornly, "You still think it's glorious to kill someone?" ”

Note 1: In fact, it is more than this number, because Hu Weidong forgot his name may also be recruited into the Soviet Union Air Force because of his outstanding performance, you must know that the Soviet Union shot down more than 20 enemy planes in World War II There are more than 200 pilots, and most of them happened to be studying in aviation schools or participating in amateur aviation clubs at this time (welcome to your support, is my biggest motivation. )
