Chapter 122: General Flying Tiger (Ask for Collection)

The monthly salary of $5 million is completely unacceptable to the Nationalist Government. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWhat's more, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also proposed not to accept fiat currency, only US dollars. This makes them even more helpless. After all, now the fiat currency has completely collapsed, and it is simply like waste paper.

Major General Rothyang had to leave Morey with a sense of anger. But in his heart, he already hated Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan, and after returning to China, he naturally would not say good things to them, but instead added fuel and vinegar to slander the two of them, which made the high-level of the national * army and the bald head even more delayed Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan.

Qin Shou and Liu Shiquan are not unaware of this. However, they simply don't care. Anyway, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not think of relying on the Nationalist Government. With the support of the Americans, coupled with their desperate fighting, it is not impossible to carve out a world in the South Seas.

"Commander, is it really okay for us to offend the national * army so much?" Liu Shiquan was somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, they can't deal with us at all, and they will only beg us. Once we take Burma, the Burma Highway will be under our control. All the goods that are destined for the country have to pass through our territory. If they dare to do anything, we can always jam their necks. Qin Shou didn't want to do that, but if those people in the mountain city really dared to be ignorant, he could only make this decision.

"Let's hope it won't happen like that." Liu Shiquan sighed.

"Okay, don't think about it yet, let's continue to train the troops. We're running out of time. After the troops have formed combat effectiveness, it is time to go to the day * himself to fight hard. The Americans have given so much money and weapons, but they will not let us be idle like this. ā€

"Hmm!" Liu Shiquan nodded.

The next day, Lieutenant Colonel Steven found Qin Shou.

"Qin, there are already eyebrows about you forming your own air team. General Stilwell and General Chennault have been contacted, and they can train you a group of pilots. As for the planes, we will provide them for you. Now, you need to build a field airfield and select a group of pilots. ā€

"Great, Steven, I'll do it right away." Qin Shou was overjoyed.

If the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had its own air force, then they would not have to be afraid of the planes of the Japanese themselves. Under such circumstances, they naturally have a better chance of winning the battle against the Japanese themselves for Burma.

"By the way, Steven, what kind of aircraft are the Americans going to offer us? Let's talk about it first! The P-40 fighters used by the Flying Tigers, I don't like them. Either the P-47 fighter or the P-51 fighter. Preferably a P-51B fighter! Qin Shou stated in advance.

Although the P-40 fighter achieved good results on the battlefield in China, it was because the Japanese aircraft was too bad at that time. After the P-51 fighters of the US Army Air Corps and the F4U fighters of the Naval Air Corps entered service, the Japanese Type 1 fighters and Zero fighters were no longer as invincible as before. This is also the reason why the day * himself began to lose gradually.

"P-51 fighter? That's our most advanced fighter. Steven was a little speechless.

He had to admit that Qin Shou's vision was very accurate, and every time he asked for the most advanced weapons from the United States.

The P-51B fighter has a maximum speed of 708 kilometers per hour, a practical ceiling of 12,802 meters, a combat radius of 2,092 kilometers, and a maximum combat radius of 3,347 kilometers if carrying auxiliary fuel tanks.

If the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had such an aircraft, even if they only had an airfield in Burma, the combat radius would have covered the entire South Seas. One day, it will even be able to attack the Japanese mainland.

"Qin, I'll try my best to fight for you. If General Stilwell would speak for you, the chances of success should be high. Lieutenant Colonel Steven said. After all, the relationship between Lieutenant General Stilwell and Admiral Marshall is very good.

"Okay, Steven, I'll send a telegram to General Stilwell." Qin Shou nodded, he knew that Lieutenant Colonel Steven was reminding him.

"By the way, when your side is ready, General Chennault will come here himself. The instructors of your air force will also be veteran pilots of the Flying Tigers. Lieutenant Colonel Steven said.

General Chennault, the founder of the Flying Tigers, has a high reputation in China and is known as the Flying Tigers. And Qin Shou also admires this general who helped the Chinese people resist Japan.

"We'll be ready soon." Qin Shou nodded.

Subsequently, Qin Shou sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Stilwell, in which he implored Lieutenant General Stilwell to find a way to obtain P-51B fighters for the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force. In a telegram from which Lieutenant General Stilwell replied, he said he would do his best.

The selection of pilots for the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was also quickly completed. From more than 100,000 people, 200 educated and well-behaved young men were selected. They will be the first pilots of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force, and they will also be the seeds of the future Air Force.

At the same time, construction of a field airfield began on the outskirts of Morey. In order to speed up the speed, without affecting the daily training of the troops, Qin Shou mobilized a number of troops to help the sappers build the airport.

The interest of the officers and men was also very high. In the previous battle, they were frightened by the planes of the Japanese themselves. Therefore, it is very much hoped that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will also be able to have its own aircraft. In this way, when you fight with the Japanese in the future, you don't have to be afraid of being bombed by the Japanese himself.

In order to build the airport as soon as possible, the officers and men even carried out three shifts during the construction process. At night, he worked with torches. Under such circumstances, it took only half a month to build the field airfield.

On the last day of July, twelve planes flew from India to Morey. These planes were urgently mobilized here from the United States. This will be the first batch of fighters from the United States to support the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and at the request of Qin Shou, they are all P-51B fighters.

With the landing of the first P-51B fighter at the field airfield, when the flight cockpit was opened, a middle-aged pilot climbed out of it.

Qin Shou greeted him as soon as possible, because this middle-aged man was Brigadier General Chennault, the commander of the Flying Tigers. He led the instructors of the Flying Tigers to help the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army train pilots, and Qin Shou certainly had to show his respect.

"General Chennault, it's a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for helping us."
