Since it was rare to see the principal interested, Zhou Wen narrated the entire process in detail, including the visit of the Prime Minister's Office and the hiding of the small fishing village after the intelligence was leaked.
The principal also listened with great interest, especially when Zhou Wen talked about how to sneak into the Siamese military camp. The principal listened very carefully and asked about the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Siamese army.
Zhou Wen said jokingly: "Principal, when it comes to the combat effectiveness of the Siamese army, our national army's Central Army series can defeat one of his armies with just one division. If we send out several armies, as long as the logistics supplies can keep up, It’s no problem to destroy this country within a month.”
He went on to explain: "The overall national strength of Siam is not strong, and its military expenditure is limited. The army is not only equipped with average equipment, but most of them are weapons that have been eliminated by Britain and France. The key is that the organizational structure of the army is loose, which is far inferior to that of our national army. The grassroots officers are basically He is a graduate of a military academy and has strong military qualities and a tenacious revolutionary spirit."
Of course, Zhou Wen did not say this purely to compliment the principal, it was also true. Through Sukrava's introduction, Zhou Wen had already learned in detail about the situation of the Siamese army, and it was indeed Zhan Wuzha's army.
But Zhou Wen's comparison still made the principal feel very happy and proud. It seemed that his efforts and efforts to build the national army over the years were worth it. In Asia today, only the powerful Japanese army can stabilize the national army, and the armies of other countries are no match for the national army.
Although being the middle child is a bit unpleasant, it is still considered to be at the top of Asia.
However, he was still a little disappointed and said: "According to your opinion, even if the Siamese allied with us to fight against the Japanese, they would not be of much use."
"It cannot be said that it has no effect. At least it has strengthened our country's momentum. If it is properly publicized, it can also improve the morale of our army and citizens. But from a military perspective, the effect is minimal."
"Yes." The principal nodded and motioned for Zhou Wen to continue.
Zhou Wen’s description below is slightly modified. For example, when he talks about saving the two pilots, they were not picked up casually, but they braved the fierce fire and bullet rain from the Siamese army and experienced a near-death battle. After saving their lives, the two Siamese vowed to repay the kindness of saving their lives, crying and shouting that they would follow Zhou Wen and serve him.
Zhou Wen wanted to emphasize that these two pilots would only do things for him to prevent the principal from asking him for help.
When describing the process of snatching the aircraft, the details of the Queen were not mentioned at all. They only said that it was an old second-hand transport aircraft purchased by the Siamese army. The condition of the aircraft was terrible, and it broke down many times during the flight. If it hadn't been for good luck, I would have almost crashed into the vast mountains. But the principal, a layman in aviation, naturally believed it.
In his opinion, since the equipment of the Siamese army is very poor, then their air force must also be parallel imports. How advanced will a non-essential aircraft such as a transport aircraft be? You know, even if the National Army Air Force now has more than a hundred aircraft, there are only a few old transport aircraft.
But even so, after listening to Zhou Wen's story, the principal complimented him a few more times, and then asked pretending to be concerned: "I'm afraid the plane you brought back from Siam needs careful maintenance. Why don't you park it at Nanjing Primary School?" I will ask the professional technicians of the Air Force to help you maintain it at the air force airport. It is safer to park it at the air force airport."
"Sure enough, I'm here. I almost said that the plane had fallen apart because of this. You still keep thinking about it. You are so evil." Zhou Wen thought to himself.
He knew that the Xiaoying Airport the principal mentioned was actually the Air Force Base of the Republic of China, where the Air Force Headquarters was located. So when he returned to Nanjing, Chief Qian, who was well aware of the principal's character, secretly reminded Zhou Wen to land the plane at the Ming Forbidden City Airport, which is currently classified as a civilian airport. If Zhou Wen's plane lands at Xiaoying Airport, there is no guarantee that someone will see the value of the plane and report it to the principal immediately.
Even so, Zhou Wen was still worried, so he flew the plane to Shanghai immediately after landing in Nanjing, and drove it into the maintenance hangar of Eurasia Airlines as soon as possible for modifications, just because he was afraid that the principal would do this.
hey-hey! Zhou Wen believed that as long as the plane really entered Xiaoying Airport, it would be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there would be no return. The principal had plenty of excuses to seize the plane, and maybe it would actually become his new plane.
Of course, Zhou Wen couldn't say that on his face. Instead, he said in a regretful tone: "I would like to thank the principal for his concern. If I had known that the principal was so caring, I would not have allowed the plane to go to Shanghai. It's a pity that I have wasted a lot of money on repairs." fee."
"What? The plane has already flown to Shanghai?" The principal was a little surprised.
"Yes, I have contacted Shanghai Eurasia Airlines before and asked them to help repair the aircraft, but the cost is not low! Do you think the Military Commission will reimburse part of the cost?"
"I'm afraid this won't work. There are state laws and family rules. It's a small thing to reimburse you some expenses, but if this sets a precedent, others will follow suit. Wouldn't that be a mess? The country is still in a very difficult situation. I believe you can understand. ." The principal immediately refused sternly.
Zhou Wen cursed in his heart: "I have worked so hard to earn you 10 million U.S. dollars, and you especially didn't even give me a sip of soup. You also said that Marshal Yan is a veteran. I think you have more bucks than him." point."
But to scold him, he had no intention of taking advantage of this person. As long as he didn't take advantage of him, he would be thankful.
Maybe Zhou Wen's words reminded the principal, knowing that this little Zhou had just made great achievements, it would be unreasonable to transfer his things at this time, so he stopped dwelling on this topic and talked about another thing.
"The British Legation has delivered the US$10 million that the government deserves before you come back, but your US$5 million requires you to go to the British Legation to hand it over yourself. From what Sir Charles said, it seems that you are required to return something. .By the way, did you realize that the British were going to do you harm, so you grabbed a plane and came back?"
Zhou Wen was really angry when he heard this.
What he was angry about was not the British way of deliberately making things difficult, but the fact that the principal did things so unethically.
This is equivalent to saying that Zhou Wen and the principal are cooperating in business. Zhou Wen is the one who contributes the effort, money and risks, and the principal is just a platform. At that time, there was no suggestion that the two of them would settle accounts separately, they were all one.
After the business was completed, the principal collected his dues first, but Zhou Wen asked him to negotiate with the buyer himself for the money. What's the reason? Is there anyone like this?
