I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Chapter 268 Learning Flying Techniques

Gu Wenxuan said to Chen Haotian again:

"General Chen, you must remember what I said today. If I am accused of being a traitor after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, you must stand up and speak to me as a witness. Remember this!"

Chen Haotian didn’t know why Gu Wenxuan was so concerned about whether he would be accused of being a traitor in the future. He had absolutely no problem!

This Gu Wenxuan was obviously an anti-Japanese general, so how could he be accused of being a traitor? He really couldn't understand it now. How could he know what would happen more than ten years later!

So Chen Haotian patted his chest and said, "If anyone dares to call you a traitor, I will be the first one to be rude to him!"

Gu Wenxuan smiled and said: I'm afraid you won't be able to make the decision by then.

Gu Wenxuan returned to the Sichuan Army and informed them that he wanted to build a military airport for them in the Taihang Mountains.

And set up their garrison around the airport.

Of course, the people of the 1.1th Army had no objection. After all, their Heping Town was only a small place, and it was too crowded to have so many troops living there, making them easy to be bombed by Japanese planes.

Tan Tai Leng Yue knew that Gu Wen Xuan had already transported back five planes, so she insisted that she wanted to be stationed at the airport and learn how to fly a plane.

"Brother-in-law, no matter what, I'm going to take my women's battalion to the airport. I also need to find time to learn how to fly a plane. When I learn, you have to give me a plane to fly!"

Tan Tai Mingyue had already gotten used to being called brother-in-law by her sister, so she didn't argue with her and just let her be!

"Sure. As long as you learn it, I will buy you a plane and let you fly it. You can also set up a women's flying group. How about that? Do you have the confidence?"

Tantai Lengyue put her hands on her hips and said proudly:

"As long as you dare to give me a regiment, I promise to make this women's flight regiment the proudest one for you and will never embarrass your brother-in-law!"

Gu Wenxuan: "Don't brag here, learn how to fly a plane first!"

Tan Tai Leng Yue was a little embarrassed: "But those foreigners are clumsy, I don't want to learn how to fly a plane from them!"

Tan Tai Leng Yue's condition made Gu Wenxuan a little embarrassed, because all these pilots were big and strong men.

It was indeed not a good idea to ask them to teach this nominal sister-in-law, but where could he find female pilots? There were very few female pilots at that time.

Tan Tai Leng Yue's eyes turned and he came up with an idea:

"Why don't you learn how to fly a plane first, and then come teach me. That way I won't have to learn how to fly a plane from those foreigners!"

Gu Wenxuan complained in his heart: Foreigners taught you to be clumsy, do you mean your brother-in-law has no hair?

"Well, I want to learn to fly a plane like a foreigner, but I don't know if I can learn it?" Gu Wenxuan had no choice but to listen to his sister-in-law. Bah! What sister-in-law? He was led astray by her.

Gu Wenxuan saw that there were many people in the Sichuan Army who were willing to learn how to fly airplanes, and it seemed that his five planes were far from enough.

So he called Sam in Shanghai and asked him to order another hundred planes from him.

Only now did he know that an American plane cost about 100 to 1000 US dollars, and planes would cost or million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than million oceans.

Of course, if it is shipped to China, there will be additional costs. Even if it costs US$1,000 per aircraft, it will be US$2000 million, equivalent to more than million oceans.

Gu Wenxuan estimated that these 100 planes would cost million dollars.

If he really wanted to establish an air force, it would be impossible without several hundred aircraft. If he wanted to sell 500 aircraft, it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Oh, it seems that his own treasury is not enough. He has to find a way to make money.

When does Gu Wenxuan plan to target a Japanese bank?

These Japanese banks have amassed a lot of money from ordinary Chinese people. It seems reasonable for them to withdraw some money and use it themselves, right?

But he was not in a hurry at the moment. He wanted to find people from foreign flying teams first. He wanted to learn flying techniques.

So Gu Wenxuan came to the base of the Taihang Mountain Flying Squadron.

Although the airport has not been built yet, these foreigners have not been lazy and are still training basic physical fitness there.

Among these ten foreign pilots there is a team leader.

Among these ten team members there are both black and white people, all of them are retired pilots from the United States.

Although they are retired pilots, they are all young. The youngest is only in his twenties and the oldest is only thirty-eight or thirty-nine. They are all very strong.

These pilots were all tall and strong foreigners, except for one slightly thin white pilot who was about 27 or 28 years old.

Gu Wenxuan took a liking to this person and felt that he was very much to his liking.

After inquiring, I learned that the white pilot was named Carter and was 28 years old.

Carter is a man of few words and is rather silent and introverted, but he heard from the team members that his flying skills should be the best among them, so he asked Carter to teach him how to fly a plane.

The captain of this flight team was called Roberts, a big, burly black man.

Although Gu Wenxuan could directly ask Carter to be his personal coach, he still felt that he should go through the flight team captain Roberts. After all, everything has to follow the rules, and there will be no order without rules.

Gu Wenxuan approached Roberts:

"Captain Roberts, I have a request. I want to ask that guy called Carter to teach me how to fly a plane. Is that okay?"

The black captain, Roberts, immediately saluted Gu Wenxuan:

"Boss, no problem. You can choose anyone from our team. Anyone can teach you how to fly a plane!"

Gu Wenxuan joked, "Let's just go with Carter. The rest of you are too big. I feel oppressed in front of you!"

Roberts really liked the way the boss spoke; he was not like most Chinese people who beat around the bush.

"Okay, boss, whatever you say is what's going on!"

Then Roberts went to call Carter over.

Carter walked over to Gu Wenxuan and saluted: "Boss! Carter reports to you!"

These foreign flight team members all like to call Gu Wenxuan "boss".

Because they are strictly mercenaries, they don't like to be called generals.

The general was the leader of their army, so they called him that. Now he is employed by foreigners, so they can only call him boss. This was the bottom line for them as former soldiers.

Gu Wenxuan didn't care what they called him, as long as they obeyed his orders.

"Carter, I want to learn flying techniques, can you teach me?"

Carter hesitated for a moment. He knew that these Chinese were a little clumsy when it came to learning these advanced machines, and he was a little reluctant to teach them.

Gu Wenxuan has used his ultimate weapon again: money power!

"If you teach me how to fly, I will give you $200 a day!"

Carter despised Gu Wenxuan's way of using money to pave the way.

But he said very honestly: "Okay boss, Carter will do his best to teach you flying skills!"
