Nine P-40 fighter jets hovering in the air also landed on the airport one after another, and the pilots jumped out of the plane to chat and fart, and did not want to come over to join in the fun.

For such a big foreign affairs activity, General Director He brought reporters accompanying the Central News Agency, and Pang Yuan also invited reporters from several media outlets in Taiyuan to report.

Seeing that Stilwell didn't mean to introduce those pilots to him, he nodded apologetically at Stilwell and said, "So."

General Stilwell, I'd like to get to know the Flying Tigers warriors, and I hope you'll give me your permission. ”

Stilwell smiled for a moment: "Of course, I was negligent, and I will accompany you." ”

The Flying Tigers are well-known in China, and it can be said that everyone knows about it.

The Flying Tigers, composed of a group of American pilot volunteers, flew a simplified version of the P-40B fighter jet purchased from the United States by the Chongqing government, and they faced the Japanese Air Force in the China-Burma region, dealing a severe blow to the arrogance of the Japanese Air Force and at the same time paying a lot of sacrifices.

The planes and members of the Flying Tigers are very recognizable, they painted the nose of the P-40B fighter jet with the fierce image of a shark, and they also sewed a sign printed with the logo of the blue sky and white sun of the Republic of China on their jackets, which reads 'Come to China to help the foreigners, and the military and civilians will be rescued in an integrated rescue for the military and civilians', this sign is for the Flying Tigers to be rescued by the Chinese army and the common people in case they are shot down by a Japanese plane in an air battle and parachute to survive.

The Flying Tigers saw Stilwell and his entourage accompanying Xie Tian and the others over, and they also stopped laughing, but few people got up from the place where they sat to greet them, those who smoked still smoked, and those who picked their feet still picked their feet, only Captain Frank, who was in charge of the escort mission, stood up and saluted Stilwell and his party.

The military discipline of the US army is already very lax, not to mention that these Flying Tigers participate in the war as volunteers, and they are basically not subject to military discipline, and most of the battles against the Japanese army are free to play as a unit.

Stilwell looked at Frank and said, "This is General Xie Baoqing, the commander of China's 10th Theater of Operations, and he came to visit you. ”

Stilwell couldn't name any of the Flying Tigers, including Captain Frank, who saluted him.

Frank saluted Xie Tian a little perfunctorily, Xie Tian walked up to him and stood up and saluted, reaching out to hold Frank's hand: "ve."

y tha

kful (thank you very much), on behalf of the 10th theater of operations, I welcome you guys to our Chinese ace buddy (best friend). ”

Frank didn't expect Xie Tian to be able to speak fluent English, and shook Xie Tian's hand happily and said, "General Xie is the best Chinese general I have ever seen." ”

The Flying Tigers exist in China like the stars and the moon, and all dignitaries and dignitaries are fortunate to be able to make friends with the Flying Tigers, and the official often organizes some activities to invite the Flying Tigers to participate, and they can be said to have seen as many Chinese generals.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the awarding of military ranks in the Chinese army was also relatively chaotic, for example, Xu Lixin and most of the members of the Fuxing Society were also awarded military ranks, and there were more than 30 people who were awarded the rank of general in the Fuxing Society, and there were several lieutenant generals.

Xie Tian smiled and shook hands with the Flying Tigers, and a buddy smiled and took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and handed it to Xie Tian, waiting to see Xie Tian's joke.

Chinese have rarely seen chewing gum, and there are many Chinese generals who have been tricked by these guys, but they have never seen ah, and those generals finally swallowed this unpalatable thing into their stomachs out of politeness and became the laughing stock of these guys.

Xie Tian smiled and took the gum and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for the gift from my good friend, and I have also prepared a small gift for you." ”

Xie Tian and Pang Yuan knew that Chief He and Stilwell would definitely be escorted by Flying Tigers planes on this trip, and they also prepared gifts for these Flying Tigers.

Xie Tian clapped his hands, and Hu Zhiyong stepped forward with a tray covered with red silk, on which were placed nine golden medals.

In fact, Xie Tian didn't know how many Flying Tigers would come, so he asked Deng Bo to cast twenty of these medals, just prepared.

On the front of the medal is a P-40 fighter jet piloted by the Flying Tigers, and on the back is the words "Long Live Friendship" in Chinese and English.

Another medal award, the Flying Tigers laughed, since they came to China to participate in the war, they have received more than a dozen medals of various kinds, well, the Chinese like to express their feelings in this way.

Xie Tian smiled, solemnly awarded the medal to each Flying Tiger member, saluted, awarded medals, shook hands, saluted, full of ceremony.

Before the medal was awarded, a buddy picked up the medal on his chest and put it in his mouth and bit it with his teeth, and when he saw two clear tooth marks left on the medal, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Fake, brothers, the medal he gave us is pure gold." ”

Boom, these Flying Tigers exploded, and the people who received the medals all sent the heavy medals to their mouths, feeling as if these guys were eating cookies, and those who didn't receive the medals had become impatient, and they also solemnly straightened their chests and stood in front of Xie Tian waiting for the medal, and they also knew that they were giving Xie Tian a gift in return.

Chief He in the crowd behind him couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times.

A few medals made of pure gold are not worth a few dollars, at least for the Chongqing government, but Xie Tian awarded these Flying Tigers members the Friendship Medal so generously that Chief He faintly felt a little painful, and he couldn't help but think of the ten boxes of gold that were extorted by Xie Tian because of Xida Chengyi.

The old man still only eats two meals a day, and there are only two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish on each table, and even the meat dish has been reduced by one.

Regardless of whether the old man is acting or not, all departments of the Chongqing government are reducing expenditures, and many dispensable public servants have been dismissed, and even a piece of paper needs to be used up on both sides before it can be thrown into the wastebasket, otherwise it will be severely fined if it is found by the inspectors.

The canteen of the organ has been reduced to two dishes and one soup, and all departments of the Chongqing government are complaining, but now Xie Baoqing is here to distribute the friendship medal made of pure gold to the Flying Tigers.

As Xie Tian presented the medal to the Flying Tigers, the atmosphere at the airport became warm, especially the Flying Tigers who hugged Xie Tian and chattered, and proudly hooked up with Xie Tian to show the friendship medal and the 'pure friendship of friends' with Xie Tian to the reporters who were taking pictures.

Who the fuck wouldn't want to be friends with rich people?

Outcome......

On such a serious occasion, Xie Tian actually blew out a big bubble with the chewing gum in his mouth, which caused a burst of laughter among the Flying Tigers, and this scene was also recorded by the news reporters clicking and pressing the camera shutter.
