Chapter 514 Reception

the next day,

When Jiang Hao got up to have breakfast with the team members, he saw the newspaper on the table. The headline was the report on yesterday's air battle.

Yesterday's big victory can be said to be the biggest victory in the air war against Japan since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Naturally, the government of the Republic of China wanted to write a special book, and almost all newspapers reported it in detail.

"Central Daily" published an editorial on the front page,

"Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the ground forces of the National Revolutionary Army have fought tenaciously against the Japanese aggression. On April 6, the Japanese bomber formation with a total of 57 fighters flew to the mountain city again to bombard the capital. I am brave Together with the US fighter planes aiding China, they bravely faced the enemy and launched a fierce air battle with the invading Japanese enemy planes.”

"In this battle, 35 Japanese fighter jets and 22 bombers were shot down, all the invading enemy planes were wiped out, and an unprecedented victory was achieved. Anti-Japanese enthusiasm."

"In the air battle, the pilots of China, the United States, and the Soviet Union fought tenaciously with the Japanese enemy planes in the sky. The arrogant Japanese lost their helmets and armor, were defeated, and then fled in embarrassment."

"Our air force fighters chased after them, caught up with the fleeing Japanese fighter planes, and shot them down one by one in the air. The whole process was witnessed by the people of the mountain city. Another major victory for the Air Force, wiped out the prestige of the Japanese aggressors, and greatly improved the spirit of the people of the country."

The writing is very passionate, but in Jiang Hao's view, it feels like putting gold on his face.

Forget it, now the people of the country need to mention their momentum, so let the National Party take advantage of it.

However, Jiang Hao and his "Silver Dragon Team" became famous in China.

After breakfast, Jiang Hao led his team members to check the plane's condition, replenish fuel and ammunition. After an air battle, the bullets were almost consumed. Fortunately, these bullets are general-purpose bullets, and the air force base of the national army can provide them.

Several planes suffered minor injuries. The most serious one was half of the fuselage smashed by the Japanese army. However, the performance of the Mustang was very good, and the protection measures were much stronger than those of the old Japanese fighter planes. The fighter pilot was not injured.

Not long after, Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou came over again and talked with Jiang Hao. Looking at the bright silver Mustang fighters, Zhou Zhirou sighed, "It's really a good plane. I saw the air battle yesterday on the ground. Yours This Mustang aircraft is fast, flexible, has a small turning radius, and has strong maneuverability. Those Japanese fighter planes are nothing but abusers in front of them.”

"By the way, how much is this fighter plane? It should be very expensive." Zhou Zhirou asked.

"The ex-factory price is 58,000 US dollars." Jiang Hao said.

Zhou Zhirou's expression froze, and he muttered, "58,000, 58,000, the Hawker 2, Hawker 3, Boeing 281, 248, and P-26 we bought before are all worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is only 58,000."

At the end of speaking, Zhou Zhirou's lips trembled a little, and finally he sighed silently, with a little sadness in his eyes.

Jiang Hao knew what Lao Zhou meant. When buying a plane, he might not need so much, but it can't stop someone from scratching the oil. It's not uncommon for a plane to mention two or three times the original price.

Zhou Zhirou slowed down a bit, looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Mr. Jiang, tonight at the Boya Hotel, there will be a celebration reception for Mr. Jiang and all the members of the Silver Dragon team. I will come to pick you up." you."

Jiang Hao nodded to show that he understood.

Zhou Zhirou took another look at those Mustang planes, turned and left.

The Japanese fleet was annihilated, and the Japanese base camp was shaken. An investigation was immediately organized. At this time, there were a large number of Japanese spies in the mountain city. Jiang Hao and his deeds were published in the newspapers. He made it clear that the Japanese immediately grasped all the situation.

"Baga, did the Americans join the war? It shouldn't be like this. Immediately send a wire to the country and ask the US embassy why the US fighter planes appeared in China."

Japan was soon notified, and the Japanese Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Maeda Shiro immediately drove to the US embassy for questioning, and met Jason, the US ambassador to Japan at the time.

Maeda Shiro asked in a serious tone: "Ambassador Jansen, why did the American plane appear in China and shot down our plane participating in the war? Is the United States going to tear up the peace treaty with us and participate in the Chinese war?"

Jason looked confused, "No, I don't know about it."

Shiro Maeda informed Jansen of the whole incident, and Jansen knew the names of Jiang Hao and "Silver Dragon Team", and immediately telegraphed the US State Department. After a short time, the US State Department sent a reply.

Jason breathed a sigh of relief after reading it, it's fine if it's not a war.

"Mr. Maeda, the Jiang Hao you mentioned is just a mercenary company. His behavior this time is completely personal and does not represent the political intentions of the United States."

Maeda Shiro was still very angry, "But the United States sold him the latest fighter jets, which caused us a great loss."

Jason spread his hands, "Information from the country said that the aircraft was developed and built by him himself, and it was also a personal act. The United States is a free economic society and has no right to interfere."

"But why let him fly the plane to China!" Maeda Shiro asked in an atmosphere.

"A mercenary? Naturally, he will go wherever there is a battle. If you don't make a lot of money, I think you can try to impress the other party with money. Maybe he will leave China." Jason said in a random way.

The situation was reported to the Japanese base camp, and the Japanese army was very angry and dissatisfied with such an answer, but they had nothing to do with the United States, and finally made a decision.

Send the most elite spies to assassinate Jiang Hao.

At this time, Jiang Hao was still at the airport, holding a map to study, but he didn't know that the Japanese had listed him as an assassination target.

In the evening, Zhou Zhirou specially sent a car to pick up Jiang Hao and a group of foreigners from the Silver Dragon team. When he entered Boya Hotel, Jiang Hao felt a refined and elegant yet noble atmosphere.

Someone led the way in front, the door opened, and Jiang Hao saw many people standing in the banquet hall. The hall was brightly lit, and the soft piano sound came out like flowing water. The men were all in suits and leather shoes, and the women wore colorful clothes. The cheongsam shows off your figure.

The reception staff stood on the steps and shouted loudly: "All the fighting heroes of the "Silver Dragon Team"!"

This roar immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall, and everyone stopped in unison. Looking towards the door, Jiang Hao stood at the front, with a group of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners behind him.
