mixed in the war

"I can guarantee that you have never used 25 troops!"

Hull summoned Yan Huiqing, and then gave the Chinese ambassador a check with a huge amount... He planned to use this method to express his serious dissatisfaction with the Chinese government.But Yan Huiqing didn't care about it. He took the check and checked it carefully before carefully putting it away.

"Don't you have anything to say?"Hull didn't feel sorry for that check, what he cared about was his dignity, honor, and face.Because the check was given to the other party, he would also like to express his gratitude to the other party... The bombing of Tokyo was a complete success. Of the 16 B-25s, except for 3 that were shot down by the "Zero" that was pursued over Japan, the other two were shot down. Missing, the whereabouts of the crew is unknown, the rest arrived in China safely and landed at Quzhou Airport in Zhejiang, China.In order to meet their people, the Chinese dispatched more than 200 planes and an airborne division. In addition, their third war zone also dispatched 25 troops to advance to the Japanese army, forcing the other party not to dare to deploy troops casually to avoid them. After the pilot of the plane ran out of fuel and had to parachute to escape, he was hunted down by the Japanese army again!

Now Doolittle and the others have not returned to the United States, but this matter has spread all over the world.

Americans' perceptions of the Chinese were already good after some propaganda, but now they are even more enthusiastic.

Justice!trustworthy!

This is how Americans feel about the Chinese in this period.The Chinese government took the opportunity to ask the United States to consider abolishing the Chinese Exclusion Act. As a result, just as two congressmen in California expressed their dissent, they were blocked on the street and nearly lost half their lives.But the Chinese obviously want more than that.They still want money!

25 troops!An airborne division! More than 200 planes! ...Marshall and others have analyzed that, at most, it is only those planes and the airborne regiment that moved with the planes that are real.Because these need to be "performed" for Doolittle and others, but the rest are definitely the Chinese government's boasting.In order to save a few foreign pilots, so many people are mobilized, even at the expense of arousing tension on an otherwise peaceful battlefield. This is definitely not the Chinese style.But since the Chinese say so, they can only admit it.Not only have to pay military expenses, but also express gratitude to the other party... Finally, in the face of the excited American people, it is still impossible to tell the truth.Can they still tell the American people that their most trusted ally is not so friendly?Who in the United States will join the army?What if I was accidentally tricked by an ally?

"According to an old saying of our Chinese. You are 'measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain'!" After receiving the check, Yan Huiqing raised his head and glanced at Hull, who was standing in front of him on purpose, looking down at him to enhance his momentum. "What is 25 troops? This is already an underreport. Because we didn't know in advance where your bombers would fly, the entire coast of China. Almost all the troops we could use were mobilized. What I told you was 25 , but if you really want to calculate it carefully. Even 50 is definitely not too much." [

"...No accident happened. Of course, you can do whatever you want." Hull gritted his teeth.He really wanted to fight the old man in front of him now.Although this old man is six years younger than him!

"That's why you judge a gentleman's heart with the heart of a villain." Yan Huiqing laughed, "But I always like to think for others, and so does our government. If Your Excellency the Secretary of State does not believe the facts we have stated, you can Send an investigative team to China to investigate. You will be surprised by this, I promise."

"I am the Secretary of State, but I also understand the methods used by those local governments to fool their superiors in the investigation. Besides, it is still abroad. The investigation is just a so-called plan that has only been carried out for half a day..." Hull said angrily.

"So you don't plan to investigate?" Yan Huiqing asked with a smile.

"We are not as narrow-minded as you, and we have to count even this kind of money." Hull glanced at Yan Huiqing's briefcase where he kept the check, and his heart began to bleed. More than 100 million US dollars, the Chinese just lied.All the money donated to them before was returned.But when did these people become so smart?According to their research, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese were obviously stupid when facing countries such as Britain, France, Japan and Germany.But after dealing with the Chinese a few times, these guys are obviously smarter than monkeys.Just like this time, they can do nothing if they get cheap and act good.Because the United States does not have the law to launch an investigation.Because everyone is already an ally!The allies who jointly fought back against the invaders.If they take a skeptical attitude towards such an event that can obviously promote the friendship between the two peoples, it will not only provoke the dissatisfaction of the American people, but will also be extremely detrimental to the future cooperation between the two countries.What's more, as he himself said, it is impossible to investigate anything.Therefore, they will definitely not do such thankless things,

"It's best not to investigate, which shows that you have made a wise choice." Yan Huiqing was still smiling, and clapped the briefcase in his hand, "But since you don't intend to investigate the authenticity of this operation, then I will It's nothing! Farewell!"

"What if we plan to investigate? What will you do?" Hull asked suddenly.

"Nothing to do, it's just that the board and lodging expenses of your investigation team may be more expensive."

chongqing.

Jimmy Doolittle, who has become an American hero, heard Chennault say that the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Air Force summoned him, and immediately shook his drowsy head from the consecutive days of banquets, and hurried to the airport in Jiulongpo, Chongqing.A dozen of their b-25s have flown here from Zhejiang and are parked in the hangar.

"Lieutenant Colonel, can you tell me why you chose b-25?"

Qin Wei had already been waiting in the hangar. After seeing Chennault and Doolittle rushing over, he didn't say hello to them, but asked casually while stroking the fuselage beside him.

"Uh... the military has also considered the b-26mruer, b-18bolo and b-23rgon three bombers, but the shortest glide distance of the b-26 when it takes off exceeds the deck of the aircraft carrier, and the b-23's wings are wider than the b-25 The -18 is nearly half the size and occupies too much land. If an aircraft carrier is brought in, not only will the number of combat aircraft be reduced, but it will also hit the island tower. After some consideration, we chose the b-25 and b-18. But soon The b-25 was also eliminated because the wings were too wide. So, we finally chose the b-25!" Doolittle originally wanted to salute Qin Wei first, but seeing Qin Wei like this, he gave up this plan and casually After organizing the words, I described the reasons for adopting b-[-]. [

"As far as I know, the b-25 is a new type of aircraft and has not yet been used in combat. It really surprises me that you can choose it." Qin Wei turned his head and looked at the man in front of him who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The legendary engineer pilot said with a smile.

"Before we were really worried that it would not meet the operational requirements of air strikes. However, in the subsequent tests, the b-25 showed its good performance. It fully met our requirements." Doolittle said.

"Very good." Qin Wei pursed his lips and paused, "Then do you think, can the b-25 take off on the 'Fengxiang' aircraft carrier?"

"Of course." Dolittle thought for a while, "The military did have a plan before, which was to use the aircraft carrier you captured as a launch platform for our bombers. So we also have some understanding of the data of that warship. b The take-off distance of -25 can be adapted to the 'Fengxiang' under our control, it's just..."

"Just what?" Qin Wei asked.

"It can't fit too much." Doolittle shrugged, "As the world's first official aircraft carrier, although the 'Fengxiang' can't be considered small, it really can't hold too many planes. You know, Even the 'Big Yellow Peak' can only carry 16 B-25s!"

"That is to say, we can't use the 'Fengxiang' to help MacArthur, can we?".Qin Wei asked.

"General MacArthur?" Doolittle looked back at Chennault who had been silent all this time in surprise, "Have the Japanese started to attack the Philippines?".

"Yes, just now, we received the news." Chennault nodded heavily.

"How is the battle going?" Doolittle asked hastily.

"The war hasn't officially started yet. But the only thing we can be sure of is that your bombing this time really pissed off the Japanese." Qin Wei sighed, "MacArthur will definitely bear more pressure than expected."

"Then when are we going to leave?" Doolittle was not too excited. People in their 40s have already passed the age of being easily excited.However, since Qin Wei told them these things, he asked him about the "Fengxiang" very seriously, and even told him that MacArthur might be in more trouble with a sympathetic tone. Help out!There is still a sea between China and the Philippines. If you want to catch up, you will naturally need the air force to dispatch.Doolittle even thought that perhaps Qin Wei wanted these air force heroes who had just made great achievements to go to the Philippines to boost the morale of the local army.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel!" Qin Wei sighed again, "The reason why I called you here was not to help the defenders in the Philippines! I called you to tell you... that we are going to attack the Japanese! The committee's plan is to fight a coordinated battle between land and air. But our air force still doesn't know how to cooperate with large-scale armored forces, especially in specific battles. Therefore, we hope that you can temporarily Stay here, let’s talk after this battle.”

"Help you fight?"

"Don't worry, we will pay you!"
