Chapter 245: The Lamp That Never Goes Out

"Mr. Chennault, I wanted to see you yesterday, but I just ......"

Speaking of unconscionable words, Zhou Zhirou, who was a little embarrassed, touched the tip of his nose.

After a military salute, Chennault put the cigar back into his mouth, his eyes looked at Zhou Zhirou, and he felt that he saw his superiors in the United States.

In fact, he hates this kind of person, he always gives people the taste of a politician, and his eyes flash when he speaks...... These people can't be trusted, they are all too smart people, who knows what they want to say.

"Sir, you have something to do with me."

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome, sit, please sit."

Zhou Zhirou had a smile on her face and enthusiastically gave up her seat to Chennault. Although as a senior general of the country's air force, Zhou Zhirou felt that his image was very kind, but the other party obviously didn't think so.

Chennault still stood upright, with no intention of sitting down.

"Sir, tell me what is going on, I'll ...... Uh, I'm a bit busy. ”

At this time, Chennault was in a hurry to go to the training, he did not know how the miscellaneous battalion was done, and twenty delta wings appeared almost overnight.

Ever since he played with the delta wing yesterday, he was amazed to love it. The delta wing is very safe, it can land safely even if no one is piloting, and it can play all kinds of tricks that cannot be played by airplanes.

Of course it's very low, like a biplane isn't as fast as a monoplane, but a veteran can use it to hover and spin on a novice on a monoplane.

And today those delta wings are equipped with motorcycle engines, and Chennault, who is interested in new toys, does not want to deal with the commander of the Chinese Air Force in front of him at all.

Power delta wing, more fun and dangerous as a sport. However, as far as Chennault was concerned, this thing was also suitable for throwing grenades at the heads of the Japanese, and it was of no great use at all.

"I heard that you and the principal of the umbrella school, Principal Zhang......"

Hearing that the other party was going to ask Zhang Si to act, Chennault shook his head,

"I'm sorry sir, but I can't talk to you about Principal Zhang and the Umbrella School. You know, he was a German officer, but he was still a major. ”

Listening to the translator's words, Zhou Zhirou was directly stupid and didn't understand why this was so.

The helpless Zhou Zhirou continued to pretend to smile on her face, thought about it and said suddenly,

"Oh, that's right, so let's Lieutenant Chennault, you're busy."

Chennault secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could go.

He kept Zhang Sixing's advice in mind and never revealed their plan of action to outsiders. In particular, the high-ranking officials of the national government, almost all of whom had pro-Japanese or simply spies lurking around them.

Chennault could not understand this, and thought that if the United States and Japan went to war, I was afraid that all Japanese Americans in the United States would be stuffed into concentration camps.

He wasn't wrong about it.

Out of Zhou Zhirou's tent, Chennault shook his head and scolded indifferently,

"Stupid bureaucrats."

The translator's face in the tent changed color, and Zhou Zhirou, who was sitting there, said coldly,

"Literal translation"

After listening to the translation's words, Zhou Zhirou's face turned pale, and he gasped as if his hand was raised high......

The translator even closed his eyes, ready to bear Zhou Zhirou's heavy blow on the table in his heart, and even prepared to bear the anger of Zhou Zhirou on his body. However, to his surprise, he did not hear the sound of angry slapping on the table.

Quietly opening his eyes, Zhou Zhirou's hand slashed twice in the air,

"You, let's go out first."

"Yes"

The interpreter quickly left the tent, and Zhou Zhirou, who was sitting beside the chair, maintained a calm face, but his hands were clenched into fists and clenched together.

He could have a hunch that Zhang Sixing was very busy, and seemed to be planning some major action. And it's the kind of action, it's heart-pounding.

From the report of Xie Jinyuan, as well as from the report of the German advisory group on the "retreat of textbooks". Although he was an air force general, he was in the army for the first half of his life, and he knew the difficulty of those actions.

But since he came to Jurong, where the Thirteenth Brigade was stationed, he was surprised to find that the goods could not only fight with infantry, but even had a hand in air defense.

In the battle yesterday afternoon alone, by means of casting a net in the sky, we really grabbed six fighters from the sky. As the commander of the Air Force, when did Zhou Zhirou have such a fighter in the sky to deal with.

He heard that the mechanic of the 13th Brigade had cooperated with Zhang Sixing's subordinates, and he also called someone to ask, and until now he still remembers the answer of the mechanic who spoke Cantonese.

"Sir, that thing is very simple to say, the principle is the sky monkey we played with when we were children, nothing unusual."

Hmph, nothing unusual, but it's nothing unusual, snatching six planes from the sky. Even because of the parachute towed behind, the fighter plane that fell underground was not too damaged, and it could still be used for repair.

Especially last night, when Zhou Zhirou observed the mechanics at the airport repairing the six fighters, he was even more surprised.

Because there was a big kite flying on the airport, and there was a gas lamp hanging under the kite, and surprisingly, the gas lamp was not extinguished all night. Not only is it not extinguished, but it doesn't even seem to be cheered up.

In fact, it is very simple, Zhang Sixing moved the oil pot of the gas lamp to the top to increase the lighting area.

A Stirling engine was then made as an external combustion engine, and the heat it needed was provided by the flame of the gas lamp below. The Stirling engine is powered by a simple air pump that can inflate the gas lamp all the time.

Unless the device runs out of gas, the light will stay on.

To put it bluntly, it is worthless, Europe and the United States have searchlights with electricity, and they don't care at all. People in the country are trying their best to schem, behave in the world, and intrigue, and no one cares.

Probably only officers like Zhou Zhirou who felt the pain on the battlefield felt a little bit. But I'm afraid that's all, turn your head and fly back to the big dye vat in Jinling, and you will forget the essence in a blink of an eye.

Zhou Zhirou, who had been working hard for half a morning, came out of the tent, and he was in an extremely bad mood with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to award the medal in his heart, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to deal with Zhang Sixing.

As a veteran of officialdom, he has a keen hunch that this seemingly omnipotent young man will set off a big wave in China's officialdom.

I just don't know if I'm the sand that was washed out by the big waves, or if it's ......

When he looked up, he was surprised to find that there seemed to be more than twenty eagles in the sky in the distance.

They hovered in the sky, as if they had found rotting corpses underground, but after thinking about it, Zhou Zhirou asked himself:

It's not that only vultures like carrion, but don't eagles like carrion too?

If not, the eagles were flying in circles in the sky, and they seemed to be clutching something under their talons.

However, as a high-ranking general, he has to pay attention to his image, although the eagle's behavior is strange, it is not something to pay attention to in front of his subordinates.
