The next day,
When Jiang Hao got up for breakfast with the team members, when he saw the newspaper on the table, the headline was about yesterday's air battle report.
A great victory yesterday can be said to have come from the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan. The biggest victory in the Japanese air war, the Government of the Republic of China naturally required a large book, and almost all newspapers reported this in detail at this time.
The front page of "zhōngyāngrìbào" published an editorial,
"Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the ground forces of the National Revolutionary Army have launched a tenacious fight against the Japanese aggression. On April 6, a total of 57 fighters from the Japanese bomber formation flew to Shancheng again and bombarded the companions. I am brave The Air Force, together with the U.S. aid aircraft, fought bravely against the enemy and launched a fierce air battle with the Japanese enemy invaders. "
"In this battle, 35 Japanese fighters and 22 bombers were shot down, and all enemy aircraft were wiped out. They achieved an unprecedented victory, greatly encouraging the army and the people's hearts to persist in the resistance against Japan, and inspired the entire people's resistance to Japan. enthusiasm."
"In the air battle, the pilots of China, the United States and the Soviet Union fought stubbornly. They launched a deadly fight with the Japanese enemy aircraft in the sky. The arrogant Japanese lost their helmets and armour, broke into the army, and then fled."
"I ’m an air force fighter, catching up and catching up with the escaping Japanese fighters and shooting down one of them in the air. The whole process of the people in the city as a testimony is really heartfelt. This is since the Battle of Songhu, Nanjing and Wuhan. The Air Force once again achieved a major victory, the destruction of the Japanese and the prestige of the country, and the power of the great nation ... "
The text is very exciting, but in Jiang Hao's opinion, it has the taste of putting gold on his face.
Forget it, now that the Chinese need to mention the momentum, let the KMT get a bit cheaper.
However, Jiang Hao and his "Silver Dragon Team" also became famous in China.
After having breakfast, Jiang Hao took the team members to check the condition of the aircraft, refuel, and dànyào. After an air battle, the bullets were almost consumed. Fortunately, these bullets were all general-purpose bullets, which can be provided by the air force base.
Several planes suffered minor injuries, the most serious of which was smashed by half of the fuselage by the Japanese army, but the performance of the Mustang was very good, the protection measures were much stronger than the old Japanese fighters, and the fighter pilot was not injured.
After a while, the commander of the air force, Zhou Zhirou, came over again and talked with Jiang Hao. Looking at a silver-bright Mustang fighter, Zhou Zhirou sighed, "What a good plane. I saw yesterday ’s air battle on the ground. This kind of Mustang aircraft flies fast, is flexible, has a small turning radius, and has strong maneuverability. Those Japanese fighters are in front of them only for being abused. "
"By the way, how much should this fighter be? It should be expensive." Zhou Zhirou asked.
"Ex-factory price is 58,000 US dollars." Jiang Hao said.
Zhou Zhirou's expression was condensed, and his mouth murmured, "58,000, 58,000, the Hawker 2, Hawker 3, Boeing 281, 248, and P-26 that we previously purchased are also worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is only 58,000. "
Finally, Zhou Zhirou's lips trembled, and she sighed silently, with a little sadness in her eyes.
Jiang Hao knows what Zhou means. When buying an airplane, you may not need so much, but you can't stop someone from scraping oil and water. One layer after another, it is not uncommon for an aircraft to mention two or three times its original price.
Zhou Zhirou slowed down and looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Mr. Jiang, tonight at the Poya Hotel, a two-time political and business person, there is a celebration party specially held for Mr. Jiang and all members of the Silver Dragon team. you guys."
Jiang Hao nodded and said he knew.
Zhou Zhirou took another look at those Mustang planes and turned to leave.
...
The Japanese military fleet was wiped out, the Japanese base camp was shaken, and an investigation was immediately organized. At this time, there were a large number of Japanese spies in the mountain city. Jiang Hao's deeds were published in the newspaper, and the Japanese immediately grasped everything.
"Baga, have the Americans entered the war? It shouldn't be like this. Immediately wire the country and ask the US embassy about why American warplanes appeared in China."
Japan was soon notified that Shiro Maeda, deputy director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, drove to the U.S. Embassy for questioning, and met U.S. Ambassador Jensen, who was then in Japan.
Maeda Shiro asked in a serious voice: "Ambassador Jensen, why American planes appeared in China and shot down our participating planes. Is the United States going to tear up the peace treaty with us and participate in the Chinese war?"
Jensen looked aggressive. "No, I don't know about it."
Maeda Shiro informed the whole thing about Jensen. Jensen knew the names of Jiang Hao and the "Silver Dragon Team" and immediately telegramed to the United States guówùyuàn. After a short time, the beautiful guówùyuàn sent a return letter.
Jensen took a sigh of relief after watching it, not war.
"Maeda Jun, the Jiang Hao you mentioned is just a mercenary company. His behavior this time is completely personal and does not represent American political intentions."
Maeda Shiro is still very atmospheric, "but the United States sold him the latest fighter, which caused us great losses."
Jensen spread his hand. "The message from China says that the aircraft was developed and built by himself, and it is also a personal act. We in the United States are a free economy and society and we have no right to interfere."
"But why would he let him fly to China!" Maeda Shiro asked in an atmosphere.
"A mercenary, of course, wherever there is a battle, if you don't make a lot of money, I think you might try to impress the other party with the economy, maybe he will leave China or maybe." Jensen confused his idea.
The situation was reported back to the Japanese base camp ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The Japanese army was very angry and dissatisfied with such an answer, but they had no solution to the United States and finally made a decision.
Send out the best spies to assassinate Jiang Hao.
At this time Jiang Hao was still at the airport, holding a map for research, and it was not known that the Japanese had listed him as a target for assassination.
...
As soon as the night came, Zhou Zhirou specially dispatched a car to pick up a group of foreigners from Jiang Hao and the Silver Dragon Clan. When walking into the Boya Hotel, Jiang Hao felt a refined and elegant atmosphere.
Someone led the way, and the door opened. Jiang Hao saw a lot of people standing in the banquet hall. The lights in the hall were brilliant, and the sound of the soft piano came out like water. Men were dressed in suits and leather shoes. Cheongsam, full of body.
The receptionist stood on the steps and shouted out loudly, "The" Silver Dragon Team "all fighting heroes!"
This roar immediately attracted everyone's attention in the banquet hall. People moved together and looked at the doorway. Jiang Hao stood in the front, behind them a group of blond foreigners.
