He Jinming felt that he might have gone crazy. One of his family's pharmacy owners came to tell him that someone was hiring pilots to fight the Japanese. That person wanted to see him, so he went.
After listening to that person's conversation, he actually believed it. He even called his three comrades and came to this small county town on the edge of Yunnan. They were arranged to stay in a tent outside a military camp.
When he came here, he found that there was no trace of an airplane, not even an airport. Flying here was a joke, but he brought three comrades who did not have a plane to fly. If he said that he was fooled at this time, it would be too embarrassing.
As the son of a rich family, he had never had to worry about food and clothing in these chaotic times. He went to an elementary school, a church high school, and then a university in Bei Du. It was also at that time that he encountered flying. A Westerner plane flew over Bei Du.
That was the first time he saw a plane. From then on, he fell in love with flying. He wanted to drop out of school to learn how to fly a plane, but his family refused. He had no choice but to secretly save up for a year and go to Miliken to learn how to fly. He studied for three years.
In the past three years, his family refused to give him any money in order to let him go home. The money he brought was quickly spent, so he could only work part-time and study. At least he finished his studies and had excellent grades. After returning to China, only the government's air force had planes, so he joined the air force.
He had always treated flying as a hobby, but when the war broke out, he saw the city he lived in being bombed by the Japanese air force. He saw his comrades fearlessly take to the air to fight enemies that were several times more than him. He knew what it meant to protect his country and what it meant to be a comrade.
However, his comrades died one by one, and planes fell one by one. Finally, after his plane was damaged and forced to land, he no longer had the chance to fly. Even if he begged his family to mediate, it would not work. As the war continued, the government could no longer get planes. Big Bear and Miliken had suspended their assistance.
From then on, he could only watch as the Japanese planes wreaked havoc on the ground. They blew up Shanghai and Yucheng. He desperately wanted to have a new plane and take off to fight the Japanese again. Even if he died, he would have no regrets. However, more than a year had passed, and he was still on the ground.
So this time, when he heard that there was a chance to fly, he immediately came. He did not expect it to be a scam. He felt a little sorry for his three comrades, causing them to come so far for nothing.
"Hey, Old He, do you think we'll really get a plane this time? Even if I had a World War I biplane, it would still be fine. I felt terrible watching the Japanese bombard the ground every day. I thought of my comrades who had died in the sky. I also looked forward to such a day.”Zhao Changhe, who was leaning not far from He Jinming, said sadly.
"Yeah, there's no regrets if a biplane dies in the sky.”Ma Haocheng, who had a straw in his mouth, said casually, as if he didn't care if he died.
Liu Weishan didn't say anything. He just looked up at the ceiling of the tent, thinking about something.
"I don't have a biplane, but I can provide you with Miligan's most advanced P47D Thunder Fighter.”
The door of the tent was opened, and a tall officer walked in. He was a lieutenant colonel and looked at them with a smile. The moment he opened his mouth, he mentioned Miligan's most advanced fighter jet.
However, when He Jinming heard this, his expression was completely defeated. He grabbed his clothes on the stool and was about to leave.
This stunned everyone present. Li Li, who was following behind, quickly pulled him back and asked," Old He, what's going on? Didn't you want the plane? Our regiment commander wants to give you a plane. Why are you leaving without saying anything?”
Shaking off Li Li's hand, He Jinming said angrily," Liar, you're all liars. Lieutenant Colonel, do you know what a P47B fighter jet is? How could our country have such a heavy fighter jet that has only been in service for a short time? The Americans would only give us outdated goods like the P40 and P37. Moreover, where would a regiment commander like you get a fighter jet for us?”
Zhou Heng smiled and said," It's up to you whether or not you have it. I'll get you four P47D and a few trainer jets in ten days. However, you have to promise me a few things when the plane arrives."”
Seeing Zhou Heng's certainty, He Jinming was a little puzzled. Could it be that this guy really had a P47? He Jinming nodded and said,"Okay, as long as there's a plane, it's not a problem. I'll agree to a few things."”
"First, the four of you can't take to the air for the time being. You have to help us train a group of pilots. Second, we'll start building the airport tomorrow. You have to help us see if there's a problem with the airport.”Zhou Heng said three things.
What he was most worried about was that these guys would fly back to Yu City with a plane. It was impossible. Yu City was constantly being bombed, and they would definitely not sit idly by. However, if they took the plane and flew away, what would happen to his students? Therefore, this was necessary.
"We promise you. Old He promised him that regardless of whether the pilot is mature or not, we will not fly the plane back to Yucheng. However, you have to promise us that we will only fight the Japanese and not the Chinese.”Liu Weishan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
"Yes, promise him that as long as the Japanese fight, it doesn't matter where they fight.”Ma Chenghao said.
He Jinming nodded at this time. He agreed.
"Okay, okay, okay. I promise you that there will be Japanese soldiers attacking.”Zhou Heng was very happy. Now that he had pilots and artillery, his army was finally ready. After that, it was time to develop.
With the seed, the rest was much easier. His plan was proceeding in an orderly manner.
