Invincible from the sword

Chapter 379 This is a fierce man

For Doolittle, this was embarrassing.

How many Japanese aircraft are there!

They actually bullied our lighthouse country!

This cannot be tolerated.

When the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor, Doolittle drove a fighter jet and killed three Japanese fighter jets.

Unfortunately, none of them are Type Zero.

Just Japanese torpedo planes.

Doolittle's wish was to kill a Japanese Zero fighter with his own hands.

That's the way to vent your anger.

But the fighter jets of their lighthouse country simply can't do it.

It is okay to deal with the torpedo planes of the Lighthouse country, but there is no chance of winning against the Zero fighter jets.

This made Doolittle very angry.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

This weapon and equipment is not good, he just wants to solve it, but he can't solve it.

I was upset in the office when the phone on the desk rang.

Yao Lingling.

Yao Lingling.

The voice was very hasty.

Doolittle picked up the phone: "Crooked, I'm Lao Du."

Nimitz's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Old Du, there is an important matter right now, you come to my office immediately."

"Ye Seer!"

Although Doolittle and Nimitz are good friends, in the army, the relationship between superiors and subordinates, Doolittle is still very upright.

This is a villain.

Proficient in worldly affairs.

Otherwise, he would not have become a senior executive of Shell Oil Company at a young age.

Soon, Doolittle arrived in Nimitz's office.

There, he saw Stilwell and a young man.

Doolittle was very surprised.

He knew Stilwell.

Arrived at Pearl Harbor yesterday.

It is said that they are going to welcome a big man.

In Doolittle's view, this is normal.

During this period of time at Pearl Harbor, there were quite a few big shots here.

And Stilwell was a big shot himself.

But who is that young man next to him?
Doolittle looked him up and down.

In his 20s, he is about 1.8 meters tall.

Big-eyed.

Wearing a gray military uniform.

He had never seen this kind of military uniform before.

Very simple.

Chatting with Stilwell and Nimitz.

Judging from the reactions of Stilwell and Nimitz, this young man seemed to be very important to them.

And the aura is great.

It actually made Doolittle feel a strong sense of oppression.

Doolittle had never felt this kind of feeling in Stilwell and Nimitz.

This young man is definitely not simple.

This is Doolittle's first impression of Zhang Lei.

At this time, Zhang Lei also looked at Doolittle.

The first feeling is, well, this is a fierce man.

Nimitz stood up: "Commander Zhang, this is Dolittle, one of my favorite subordinates.

Doolittle, this is Zhang Lei from the east, head of the regiment.

Doolittle, I asked you to come here today because Captain Zhang has an important piece of information.

It's about the Japanese Zero fighter jet.

You also know that North Lighthouse Aviation and Grumman in our lighthouse country are now developing new fighter jets for the Japanese Zero fighter.

However, due to the lack of information on the Japanese Zero fighter, the two companies have not made any progress.

This is very detrimental to our counterattack.

As for Commander Zhang, there is a lot of information about the Japanese Zero fighter jets.

If we have this information, the new fighter jets of our Lighthouse Country can be completely designed within a month.

However, this information is too important.

Head Zhang spent a lot of manpower and material resources to get it.

The companies would have to pay one-twentieth of the profits they make from building the fighters to get the intelligence.

Doolittle, before you joined the Army, you were an executive at Shell.

And the bosses of these two companies are also familiar with each other.

Help me with a word.

If they agree, Head Zhang can give them the information about the Zero fighter right away. "

Information about the Zero fighter? ? ?

When Doolittle heard what Nimitz said, his eyes widened.

This is his dream wow!

Now the research and development progress of their new fighter jets in the Lighthouse Country is slow because of the lack of information on the Zero fighter jets.

Otherwise, the prototype is estimated to have already been tested.

Although Doolittle didn't know who Zhang Lei was, since Nimitz said so, it meant that it was absolutely true.

He dared not be careless.

Call both companies immediately.

The heads of the two companies were shocked when they received the call from Doolittle.

This is great news for them.

As for paying one-twentieth of the profit, they are completely acceptable.

Doug, the head of North Lighthouse Airlines, was so excited that his shoes flew away.

Information about the Japanese Zero fighter.

It's something his company desperately needs right now.

His Northern Beacon Airlines received an unprecedented super order two months ago.

The order amount exceeds 1000 million US dollars!

Responsible for the design, development and manufacture of new fighter jets for the lighthouse country and naval forces.

The mission of this fighter is to completely suppress the Japanese Zero fighter.

The initial order is for three hundred.

This is very important to his Northern Beacon Airlines.

With this order, his company can become one of the large aircraft manufacturers in the lighthouse country.

And, being a savvy businessman, Doug knows all too well.

As long as this order goes well, the Lighthouse Kingdom will definitely add more orders in the future.

At that time, they will definitely not only manufacture [-] aircraft.

At least five thousand to start.

If the performance of the aircraft is superior and can be affirmed by the lighthouse country's troops, then the order for the aircraft may exceed [-].

So an order must be successful.

There is nothing more lucrative than weaponry.

But the requirements of this order are too harsh.

The aircraft is required to fully suppress the Japanese Zero fighters.

The time given to them is only three months.

If they can't find an aircraft design that meets the requirements within three months, the order will be cancelled.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy.

Originally, Doug felt that although the time was a bit tight, there was no major problem in designing the aircraft.

But soon Doug was confused.

Because he was shocked to find that the aircraft designers in his company did not understand the Japanese Zero fighter at all.

There is only one photo of the Zero fighter.

Still very vague.

For the rest, you can only listen to the pilots of the lighthouse country verbally say something about the Zero fighter.

This is so useless.

This is a research and development aircraft!
It's not developing remote control cars!
So two months have passed, and the design and development have not progressed at all.

Not even the most basic design parameters.

The designer's hair fell out.

Really beeping a dog.

Doug was running around in a hurry, not even interested in paying his wife's rations at night.

If this goes on like this, the order will definitely be yellow.

So when Doolittle received the call, Doug almost flew into the air.

flushed.

The body trembled.

As for the one-twentieth profit that Doolittle said.

Although it sounds a lot, at least it is much stronger than the cancellation of the order.

Doug told Doolittle that as long as the other party's information about the Japanese Zero fighter was correct, he could sell those profits.

Grumman Jr., the person in charge of Grumman, gave a similar answer to Doolittle.

Soon, Doolittle told Nimitz that Doug and Grumman had agreed to Zhang Lei's request.

Agreed so quickly?
Hearing what Doolittle said, Zhang Lei was taken aback for a moment.

Isn't it said that capitalists are very stingy?
Asking them to pay is almost like killing them.

Why did you agree so quickly?
But now it's a good thing.

As for the bullet production line, Stilwell had already communicated with the wheelchair Luo.

Wheelchair Luo didn't immediately agree.

But did not directly refuse.

Just to say that it has been authorized to Nestor.

After Zhang Lei arrives in the Lighthouse Country, Nestor will communicate with him in detail.

When the plane was refueling, Zhang Lei saw a lighthouse aircraft carrier, the Hornet, docked in the port at Pearl Harbor.

This is the first time Zhang Lei has seen the aircraft carrier of the Lighthouse Country.

On the deck above, there are about a dozen bombers parked.

Judging from the appearance of the bomber, it seems to be a B25.

And on the deck above, it seems to be quite busy.

Ok?
What is this doing?
Zhang Lei is very strange.

Now the aircraft carrier of the lighthouse country already has combat missions?
Nimitz next to him frowned and said, "This is a secret mission.

We are going to bomb the island nation.

Otherwise, the morale of our soldiers in the lighthouse country will not be raised at all. "

Nimitz is worried.

Now his Pacific Fleet has insufficient troops.

Not enough battleships.

Morale was also very low.

There is quite a posture of collapsing when the Japanese army is heard.

If this continues, his Pacific Fleet will collapse without the Japanese attacking.

Therefore, Nimitz suggested that measures must be taken to boost the morale of their lighthouse soldiers.

And the Lighthouse Country also needs to find some ground.

From the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor to the present, their lighthouse country has done nothing except declare war on the island country.

This is also strongly supported by Wheelchair Luo.

Wheelchair Luo's original words were that the islanders who are sons of bitches must be given a little color.

But it's easy to say, how to give the island country a little color, it has to be considered by Nimitz.

The best and easiest way, of course, is to directly put the island country on the ground.

If his Pacific Fleet is not severely damaged, then Nimitz is fully confident that he will drive the fleet into the island country of Tokyo Bay.

But now, let alone sailing to Tokyo Bay, it is still a question of whether the warship can be sailed to the Central Pacific.

Doolittle came up with a very radical idea.

Use bombers to fight fire with fire, to bomb the mainland of the island country.

This is a good idea.

If it can be realized, it will definitely bring huge morale to the lighthouse country.

But how to bomb, this is a big problem.

Doolittle's idea was to use an aircraft carrier to carry carrier-based aircraft, just like the Japanese combined fleet.
