Chapter 515 The Root Is Rotten, There Is No Salvation
"Wow, boom!"
Everyone in the lobby began to applaud enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.
At this time Zhou Zhirou came over, led Jiang Hao and others to the lobby, and then introduced the political and business leaders of the Republic of China one by one. Among these people, Jiang Hao mentioned it when he read the materials about the Republic of China, and Jiang Hao was also polite. Shake hands and salute.
"Now, Mr. Jiang, please speak!" Zhou Zhirou shouted after seeing the ceremony.
Jiang Haoxin said, is this going to happen again? No one has notified him in advance, and he has no preparations, but since he has reached this point, it seems that he will not be able to go on stage.
Jiang Hao walked to the stage, looked at the 200 men and women in the stands, and said: "In the face of national crisis, although Jiang is an overseas Chinese, he also has a heart to serve the country. The Japanese invaders are rampant and cruel, and the domestic war is anxious and difficult, but I believe As long as the people of the whole country unite as one, grit their teeth and fight the Japanese, the invaders will definitely be wiped out.”
"One inch of rivers and mountains, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand youths and one hundred thousand troops", Japan has 70 million people, and we have 40 million compatriots in China, everyone takes up guns, knives, hoes and forks, sickles and axes, Get rid of one Japanese, and one less of them."
"I brought the "Silver Dragon Team" here this time to let the Japanese know that in this piece of land in China, it will never be a lawn for them to walk leisurely, and it will never be a sky for them to fly freely. their cemetery."
"This air battle against the Japanese is just a small punishment and a beginning. In the future, I will lead the Silver Dragon team to let the Japanese invaders know how powerful the Chinese are. In the words of our Chinese, this is called "A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood"!"
Hush!
After Jiang Hao spoke, there was warm applause from the audience.
The sound of singing and dancing sounded, a group of well-dressed men and women came to the center of the hall, surrounded each other and began to dance, and some people gathered together to drink and chat with wine glasses, laughing from time to time, the foreigners of the Silver Dragon team became the targets of the women's siege , talking with a group of gorgeous women, laughing and laughing.
Sitting in a corner, Jiang Hao suddenly felt angry and felt a sense of loss. He felt very disappointed. Was his speech just now not generous, passionate, or inspiring?
no,
After hearing this, the group of people also applauded and cheered.
But why within two minutes, it immediately became like this,
Everyone can see that the current situation is so corrupt, but this group of people can still enjoy it here calmly.
Jiang Hao suddenly understood something.
These military, political and business leaders are used to this kind of life, this is their normal state, and they can't change it.
It's no wonder that those soldiers don't fight desperately. Don't blame them. It's not that the Chinese don't dare to fight hard, but they know that it's not worth fighting for such a group of people.
Just like some people in later generations commented, the roots are rotten, there is no hope for salvation, and pruning the branches and leaves will not help. In this era, some people have seen through the essence of the National Party, so they will join our party without fear of hardships and hardships.
Jiang Hao finally knew why, because they were looking for a hope, a future.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a man in military uniform stood on the steps and shouted loudly: "Chairman, Mrs. Meiling is here!"
The music in the banquet hall stopped immediately, those who were sitting quickly stood up, and those who were dancing stood up. The Chairman of the Standing Committee was wearing a neat suit, and Mrs. Meiling was holding her arm. When the two entered the hall, there was a loud clatter in the hall. say hello.
"Hi, Chairman."
"Hello Chairman!" Salute.
The chairman and Mrs. Meiling nodded and smiled. When they walked to the center of the banquet hall, people formed a circle automatically. Heroes celebrate the victory, don't be restrained, well, you can play as you want."
As he spoke, he waved to Jiang Hao, signaling him to go over.
When Jiang Hao came closer, the Chairman of the Standing Committee said, "Come upstairs with me, we haven't finished talking yesterday."
When going upstairs, there was always a man leading the way in front of the chairman. Jiang Hao had seen the photos of the Republic of China, and he recognized who this person was at a glance. The famous military leader Dai Li.
The two walked into the box, and after closing the door, the room immediately fell into silence, cutting off the music and human voices outside. The two sat down, and Dai Li stood behind Lao Chang.
Jiang Hao glanced at Dai Li, just as Dai Li was also looking at Jiang Hao, the two happened to look at each other, Dai Li nodded slightly to Jiang Hao with a smile on his face.
"Jiang Hao, last time you said that other planes are still in Hanoi, when will they be able to come?" Lao Chang asked.
"It was shipped from the United States and needs to be reassembled. I estimate that it will be completely transferred in about 2 or 3 months." Jiang Hao said.
Old Chang had a happy expression on his face, "Then do you have any thoughts on how the Silver Dragon team will fight?"
Jiang Hao had thought about this problem a long time ago, and said: "We have a total of 110 fighter planes, including 10 B17 bombers. The planes should not be too concentrated. If they are attacked by the Japanese army, the loss will be too great, so I hope to get 2 to 3 airports."
Lao Chang nodded. In fact, he was more afraid of losing this batch of fighters than Jiang Hao. "There is no shortage of airports. The Soviet aircraft occupies one, and there are two more around the mountain city. I can give you both."
The previous planes were all gone, and the airport was naturally vacant.
Jiang Hao continued: "The command of the Silver Dragon team has its own system, so it may be difficult to fully integrate with the national army and the Soviet army. Of course, we can negotiate and cooperate together and work together for the War of Resistance."
Jiang Hao's meaning is very clear, I come to fight, I command my troops, we can cooperate, but you will not command them.
Lao Chang frowned slightly, and said, "We can form an air force strategic team, Zhou Zhirou, Zhigarev and you can share the decision-making power, which should be better."
Jiang Hao thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Is there any more?" Old Chang asked.
"There is also the problem of supply. We brought the spare parts of the aircraft ourselves, as well as some ammunition and fuel, but they are limited after all. I am afraid that the ammunition is only enough for fighting at the airport. These need to be supplemented by the national army."
Lao Chang nodded, "That's totally fine."
"The last thing is the employment fee. I pay these pilots $500 per month per person."
When Lao Chang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive."
"The reward for shooting down a fighter plane is 500 dollars." Jiang Hao continued.
Lao Chang's face twitched, "It's acceptable."
"There is also an aircraft maintenance fee. For each aircraft dispatched, fighter jets pay $1,000, and bombers pay $2,000 for wear and tear maintenance. Of course, if the battle is lost, it will be mine."
The corners of Lao Chang's eyes twitched a few times.
He calculated in his mind that Jiang Hao had 110 planes, 100 fighter jets, and 10 bombers. If all of them were dispatched at once, he would have to pay 120,000 US dollars, not to mention fuel and ammunition, and Salary and bonuses.
Even if there are three missions a month, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be lost, and Chang Chang feels bitter.
But he also knew that he was lucky to have an available air force, and there was really no reason for it, so he gritted his teeth, "Yes."
Lao Chang agreed to Jiang Hao's request, and Lao Chang waved to Dai Li. Dai Li immediately pulled out a cigar box from his body, and handed one to the old man.
The old man pointed at Jiang Hao, Dai Li was taken aback for a moment, then took out another one and handed it to Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao glanced at this famous military leader who was calling the wind and rain outside, but behaved like a dog in front of the old man.
In fact, Jiang Hao's words are not wrong at all. Dai Li is really loyal to Lao Chang. He is also the sharpest minion in Lao Chang's hands, just like the leader of Jinyiwei in the hands of ancient emperors. I am afraid that in the entire Kuomintang army, no one can compare This guy is more centered and old-fashioned.
Being bad is a bit bad, but it also takes up a word of loyalty.
A loyal dog with one heart and one mind.
After lighting the cigar, Lao Chang puffed out a puff of smoke and said: "Jiang Hao, the current situation is difficult, we need to win more support from the international community, can you use your own relationship to convince the US government to provide us with political support and financial help."
"The best thing is to get a loan. Of course, the money can be used to buy materials directly in the United States."
