Chapter 1786

Zhou Zhirou was the Director of the Aviation Committee of the Nationalist Government and the Director of Education of the Air Force Staff School at that time. He knows the current size of the Air Force's aviation force and how many surplus personnel there are.He himself proposed to Lao Jiang to buy military aircraft from the Xuebing Army, so after being summoned by Lao Jiang at around [-] o'clock the next morning, after listening to Lao Jiang's report of the conditions of the Xuebing Army, he guessed that Lao Jiang had summoned him. What's the matter with me, said cautiously: "Commissioner, our army has always paid more attention to the reserve of aviation forces. There are indeed surplus pilots and ground crews. However, I think that in the current situation where the Japanese army is frequently launching air strikes on our rear, our hands will It’s better to have more staff reserves.”

The veteran frowned: "But Mu Jiandie said that this is the prerequisite for them to learn the army."

Zhou Zhirou glanced at him, turned his eyes and said, "Committee, I have an idea, how about we replace it with trainees? The Air Force Staff School currently has more than 100 flight trainees who are about to graduate, but due to the lack of enough trainer planes, they will never be able to fly." Most of them have only flown once or twice. These students have almost no possibility of growing up here, but if they are handed over to the student army, since there is no large-scale air battle between Fujian and Guangdong, they have sufficient resources , given time, these students can completely take charge of their own."

Lao Jiang was quite emotional about his words, but he thought that the negotiator of Xuebingjun this time was Mu Jiandie, who knew all aspects of Chongqing very well, and he was a little worried that he would not accept it: "Your proposal is not bad. But Mu Jiandie is not so easy to fool - no matter, try it again. Baifu, you and Huanzhang brother will go to see Mu Jiandie later, after all, you are in the air force, so you should be more convincing .”

"Yes!"

Around ten o'clock in the morning, at the same place, the old god Mu Jiandie, who had reached an agreement with Guangzhou, was waiting for General Feng and Zhou Zhirou.After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhou Zhirou responded to the conditions put forward by the Xuebing Army one by one, and when he said that the students would replace the Air Force, he paid special attention to Mu Jiandie's expression, and found that there was no obvious change, and he couldn't help but feel confident. some.

Perhaps due to the influence of Ouyang Yun's consistent behavior and style, Lao Jiang and General Feng both miscalculated the fundamental attitude of the Xuebing Army on this matter.They thought that the Xuebing Army was unwilling to take a small loss, but they didn't know that on the big issue of the War of Resistance, even if they knew they would suffer a loss, the Xuebing Army would actually make decisions based on the overall situation.

After Mu Jiandie went back last night, he also communicated with the Guangzhou headquarters.As Lao Jiang said, Mu Jiandie knew all aspects of Chongqing very well, so after the meeting with General Feng last night, he expected that Chongqing might use the students at school to fool him.In the telegram to Li Tieshu, he mentioned this and gave his opinion.He thinks it is acceptable, but the prerequisite must be all students.In the telegram, he wrote: "These students have no chance of trial in Chongqing at all. If they continue to stay in Chongqing, there will be two results. Either they will be cannon fodder in haste, or they will be transferred to other jobs before they are abandoned. Rather than being professional, we might as well accept all of them..."

Li Tieshu and Ji Xingwen didn't know much about aviation affairs, so they honestly asked Ouyang Yun for instructions, and after getting Ouyang Yun's approval, they replied with a one-word telegram: Yes!
With the support of the headquarters, it is not surprising that Mu Jiandie behaved calmly at this time.After Zhou Zhirou finished speaking, he smiled and asked, "Is this your final decision?"

Old General Feng and Zhou Zhirou didn't understand what it meant, they looked at each other, and the latter said with sweat on his forehead: "No, everyone is fighting for the war and defending the country, we can discuss it later!"

"Just over a hundred students is not enough. Our commander-in-chief has prepared 24 Baiji, as well as a number of I-5s and Hawks—"

In the air force sequence of the Xuebing Army, the I-5, Hawker-II, Hawker III and other old fighters have been eliminated. In the previous negotiations, General Feng once asked Mu Jiandie whether the Xuebing Army had such The accessories for the three types of fighters. After Mu Jiandie and Tie Linfei communicated, the latter remembered the old fighters in the hangar. After asking Ouyang Yun for instructions, he generously thought that all these fighters could be handed over. to the Chongqing government.Due to the need of negotiation, Mu Jiandie didn't mention this matter at first, but now he threw it out suddenly, and it really had the effect he hoped to see——

Old General Feng, who was an amateur, behaved fairly calmly, but Zhou Zhirou, an expert, was a bit unbearable—his mouth was wide open, his eyes were wide open, and he had an expression of extreme astonishment.After maintaining this expression for no less than five seconds, he stood up excitedly and asked, "Director Mu, is this true?"

Seeing his expression, Mu Jiandie felt a burst of sadness—there are many real anti-Japanese fighters in the Central Army, but for various reasons, the result of their efforts is tragic.Gathering his mind, he said seriously: "Of course it is true. When does our commander-in-chief not count?"

What he said actually implied that the highest authority was always backtracking. Old General Feng kept calm all the time. He narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.And Zhou Zhirou was completely absorbed by Yi-5 and Hawke, and didn't notice it at all. He said excitedly: "That's great, but, I just don't know what else your army needs from us? "

"All the cadets of the Air Force School—including the Central Aviation School!"

"what!"

"Director Zhou, with all due respect, these students stayed in Chongqing, but they did not grow into qualified pilots for a day. And the reserve work of your aviation force has been doing very well, and your front-line troops do not lack combatants, so our side The proposal is actually based on the attitude of being responsible to all three parties—General Feng and Director Zhou, there is one thing I think you should know, the French also intend to buy from us the batch of old fighters eliminated by our army, So if you really intend to get these fighters, please hurry up."

The Xuebing Army has made such a big movement in Southeast Asia, and what it did has spread among the senior generals of the Nationalist Government such as Zhou Zhirou.Although they and the generals of the Xuebing Army have different political opinions, they are both Chinese, and they are also proud of the achievements of the Xuebing Army.Zhou Zhirou knew about the alliance between the Xue Bing Army and the French, so she couldn't help but believe it, and hurriedly stated: "Director Mu, of course we will give these fighters to us. Please wait a moment, and I will call the chairman for instructions."

Then he got up and went out to make a phone call, and only 5 minutes later, he walked in with a happy face and said, "The chairman has already agreed, the vice chairman, Director Mu, I think we should sign the letter of intent now!"

Old General Feng looked at Mu Jiandie and asked, "Director Mu, what do you mean?"

Mu Jiandie nodded reservedly: "Okay! Let's start discussing the relevant details now."
