"Thank you in advance for your concern, Mr. Lieutenant General! The interception of me by the Japanese ground artillery and air fleet will not pose a threat to me. Mr. Lieutenant General Charles, if the Japanese army reneges on the withdrawal agreement that has been reached, then the people in the Sihang Warehouse will Four hundred soldiers will fight the Japanese army to the bitter end. Then, sir, the terms you gave me are very ordinary, and I won’t be tempted at all."
Zhou Zhihan looked at the Sihang Warehouse on the other side of the river and directly rejected Lieutenant General Charles.
"Mr. Lieutenant General, if it were in peacetime, I might consider the conditions you gave me. But now is a war. With my air combat capabilities, it won't be long before I have an extra general star on my shoulders. , and there are more than 400 of my brothers waiting for me in the warehouse opposite. I can’t leave here now, and I won’t leave China. However, I believe it won’t take long before there will be a peaceful settlement between our two countries, China and Y. There is cooperation.”
Lieutenant General Charles stayed for a few seconds. He originally thought that Zhou Zhihan would be unable to refuse the bargaining chip he offered. Becoming a major general at a young age, no one would refuse. But the other party refused without hesitation.
After being rejected, Lieutenant General Charles not only did not feel embarrassed, but there was light in his eyes: "Instructor Zhou, although you rejected me, you made me look at you with admiration. You are indeed a formidable young man! I now solemnly represent Big Y The empire invites you, as a Chinese, to teach the Air Force in the Great Y Empire. The time of teaching is up to you. I wonder if the chief instructor can honor it!"
This time, Zhou Zhihan felt the sincerity from the other party: "Dear Lieutenant General! As long as your country is willing to support China's Anti-Japanese War, I can go to the UK to teach the Air Force at any time, and I will definitely teach you everything I can. I promise you, I It can improve the flying skills and tactics of British pilots by at least two levels."
"Then it's settled, Mr. Chief Instructor?" Lieutenant General Charles stretched out his hand.
Zhou Zhihan held the hand of Lieutenant General Charles: "It's settled, Lieutenant General! All countries, regions, institutions or individuals that support China's cause of resistance to war are friends of the Chinese people."
After chatting for a while, Lieutenant General Charles left. As today's host, people kept toasting to him.
Looking at the back of Lieutenant General Charles, Zhou Zhihan was deeply touched by the sentence "There is only a relationship of interest between countries."
As soon as Lieutenant General Charles left, General Henry Owen came over with a wine glass: "Mr. Chief Instructor, your teacher, Principal Pat Plouffe, asked me to take him to say hello to you!"
Zhou Zhihan quickly thanked him! When he was in the United States, the principal, General Pat Plouffe, gave him a lot of help, which he kept in mind.
"Your teacher and I have been friends for many years. When we came to China, he mentioned you to me." General Henry Irving also spoke very directly. "How sure do you think we can break through the Japanese artillery fire and the interception of the aircraft fleet tomorrow morning?" ?”
Same problem again.
General Henry Irving and Lieutenant General Charles had the same problem.
Zhou Zhihan still gave the same answer: "The Japanese ground artillery fire and air fleet cannot stop me. General!"
Zhou Zhihan's answer made General Henry Irving stunned for a few seconds. Is this young man arrogant or confident?
Then thinking of that incredible cobra-like maneuver, General Henry Irving nodded: "Young man, have you ever thought about going to the United States to teach the Air Force?"
Zhou Zhihan smiled: "All my air combat skills come from my teacher. As the head of a school, he can bring out more outstanding students."
"No, no, no! You are already better than the old." Admiral Henry Irving held a cigar in his hand and also smiled. "The cobra-like maneuver you flew today was not only impossible for your teacher, but I guess there is no other person in the entire world who can fly that maneuver."
I came here to invite you to coach again.
Zhou Zhihan smiled faintly and did not deny it. For now, he was the only one who could fly the cobra maneuver.
"Randolph Air Force Academy is my alma mater, and the United States is also my second home. If I have the opportunity, I will go to the United States to teach, and I have the ability to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Air Force. But not now, General!"
General Henry Irving did not expect Zhou Zhihan to refuse so bluntly, but Zhou Zhihan said that it could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the US Air Force. General Henry Irving was impressed, so he made an agreement with Zhou Zhihan to cooperate if there was an opportunity.
A young man with pure blond hair had already stood up and was waiting from a distance. When he saw Zhou Zhihan approaching, he quickly walked over, bent down and said, "Mr. Chief Instructor of China!"
"Hello!"
Zhou Zhihan stopped and looked at the blond boy.
"The maneuver you performed today was really amazing," the blond boy said with admiration on his face. "Mr. Chief Instructor, can you tell me the name of that maneuver?"
"Since you think that maneuver looks like a cobra, let's call it a cobra maneuver!" Zhou Zhihan smiled, even though that maneuver was originally called a cobra maneuver.
Seeing that the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force had no airs at all and was chatting happily with a blond boy, several other outstanding foreign pilots also came over quickly. They had long wanted to make friends with the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force, but he was too famous. They felt that it was a bit too high to reach them. When Zhou Zhihan said that the cobra-like maneuver was called a cobra maneuver, several pilots stood aside and listened attentively.
"Mr. Chief Instructor, can you explain to me how the Cobra maneuver is accomplished?" the blond boy asked. He looked a little shy, but his eyes were firm.
"Hardman, do you want to learn the trick of the Chinese Air Force chief instructor?" Wallis Stevens said with a smile, "But you are still young and it is too early. You should follow your father first. It would be more appropriate to learn to fly a trainer aircraft.”
"Hardmann?" Zhou Zhihan looked at the blond boy, "Your name is Hartmann? German? What is your full name?"
"Yes, I am German, Mr. Chief Instructor!" Erich Hardmann said, "My name is Erich Hardmann."
Zhou Zhihan was shocked. Could it be that the blond boy in front of him was Erich Hardmann, the world's number one ace in the air force during World War II? He secretly thought to himself, could this little guy be so powerful in the future because he had stolen all his skills in the past two days?
Zhou Zhihan smiled and was approachable, and nodded towards Erich Hardmann: "Young man, tell me, what do you want to learn? But for now, only I can do that Cobra maneuver in the world. One day Once you reach that level, I will naturally teach you.”
These words were too domineering and revealing.
When the other pilots heard this, they all showed expressions of admiration and wanting to laugh.
What they admire is that only the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force in the world can do the Cobra maneuver. What they want to laugh at is that the chief instructor himself is still a big kid, but he pretends to be old-fashioned.
The Chinese and foreign reporters who gathered around Zhou Zhihan to take pictures all laughed.
The chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force is really interesting. He is only a twenty-one or twelve-year-old boy, but he calls others young people.
"May I ask, Mr. Chief Instructor, what qualities do you think you should have to become an excellent pilot?" Erich Hardmann asked directly without any stage fright.
"A brave heart, a cool head, superb flying skills, and skillful shooting skills, among which skillful shooting skills are the most important. You have to remember that the lovely Mr. Erich Hardmann, in terms of air combat technology, No technique or tactics is completely correct, because each of your opponents has different flying techniques and fighting methods, so your techniques and tactics for facing the enemy must also be changed accordingly."
Zhou Zhihan answered very seriously. This is the necessary professional ethics for an instructor.
He had no reservations just because the opponent was the future world's number one ace, Erich Hardman.
hehe!
future!
In the future, there may be no telling who will be the world’s number one ace pilot!
